Zhang Jiuling's remarks were so scathing they struck Sword Saint like a hefty hammer.

“W-What did you just say?” he stammered, still unable to recollect himself. “Did you just say that... I'm the enemy of the state?”

Sword Saint had dedicated his whole life to the War God Castle. Never once in his entire life had he imagined that he would end up becoming a national shame to his own country and its people.

Throughout his life, he invested everyone's time in restoring and rebuilding China's martial arts world.

In fact, he was so committed to this cause that he was even willing to pay with his own life, yet in the end, he found little support for his unjust cause and became the enemy of the state.

If what Zhang Jiuling said was true, it would mean that the sacrifices and efforts he had made for the first half of his life amounted to nothing.

A feeling of self-pity overwhelmed Sword Saint as he staggered and almost slumped to the ground.

On the other end, Zhang Jiuling had already ended the call and instructed everyone in Jiangbei's martial arts world to cut off all contact with Sword Saint and disregard any orders from the War God Castle.

“We will march to the east to meet those from Jiangdong's martial arts world on Mount Yunding,” Zhang Jiuling pronounced with a husky voice that echoed in the deep night in accompaniment with the chilly wind.

His command elicited a strong response from the martial artists in Jiangbei.

“M-Mr. Zhang... are we really leaving War God Castle to their own?” someone asked.

“They are the emblem of China's martial arts world!” another commented.

“Yeah. The undoing of War God Castle will shatter the very foundation of the martial arts world in our country.”

“There'll be no one else to support our country once the pillars of our nation are no more!”

“Exactly. This will really mark the end of the martial arts world in China!”

Many patriotic citizens among the crowd lamented the potential fate of the country, but Zhang Jiuling was not in a hurry to address their concerns.

Instead, he cocked his head and directed his gaze across the tempestuous Brighfell River toward Jiangdong, which was not far away.

we will have no hope? And who said China's martial arts world will be vanquished if War God Castle crumbles? We will shoulder this responsibility as pillars of the country until the coming of the one we await. We will be the torchbearers of the martial arts world in China.
