Mo Wu-Ya was the best person to be sent on such a task.
The others wouldn't be able to hold their own against a supreme grandmaster.
As for the King of Fighters and the other supreme grandmasters, they were the six pillars of the nation and naturally shouldn't be flaunting their presence so easily.
"Wu-Ya has had nothing to do since he returned from Japan. It's time for him to get involved in the matters of the state." The God of War, who had been silent all this while, piped in. "But you should remind Wu-Ya that his mission is to investigate the matter and not cause any conflict or tension. Should anything happen, he is not to act rashly. Return and report the matter to us. We shall deliberate what to do next."
Mo Wu-Ya was a hotblooded young man, after all. Ye Qing-Tian was worried that he might get easily provoked over a slight and get into a dispute with a foreign martial artist.
This wasn't something that the God of War or any of the other supreme grandmasters wished to see.
"Don't worry. My son isn't like other young men who disrespect the law and do what they like. I'll tell him what you said. In fact, I'll head back right now and speak to him immediately. Sword Saint, you can send me the photos and the locations of where they were shot later."
The King of Fighters left Mount Yan after the meeting ended and returned home.
He was to inform his son, Mo Wu-Ya, to look into the appearance of the strange martial artists and find out where they had come from and what they wanted.
"The King of Fighters' temper is getting worse. Qing-Tian was simply giving him a word of advice. He didn't have to give him that sort of attitude." Tang Hao shook his head and smiled wryly after the King of Fighters was gone.
"You can't blame him for that. Some people simply went too far," Sword Saint shot back. Tang Hao shut up immediately.
He knew whom Sword Saint was talking about.
Sword Saint turned towards Ye Qing-Tian. "Qing-Tian, do you really believe that Ye Fan can shoulder the responsibilities of the nation?"
Ye Qing-Tian frowned. "What are you trying to say?"
"Nothing at all. I'm just trying to tell you that I won't agree to your recommendation to admit Ye Fan into War God Castle and grant him lordship. I believe that I'm not the only one who opposes your proposal. The King of Fighters, the Jiangbei martial arts circle and the tens of millions of martial artists in China won't agree too! He's a wildcard and I'm not going to allow a wildcard to join the most powerful martial arts organization in China."
The six great supreme grandmasters of War God Castle possessed the greatest authority in the Chinese martial arts circle.
However, while the Phoenix Empress and Ice Emperor were part of the six pillars of the nation and enjoyed great respect from everyone, they wielded little true authority.
They were away from War God Castle most of the time and would find it challenging to assert their authority even if they wanted to.
Their titles as the six great lords of War God Castle were simply that. A title.
Sword Saint, the King of Fighters and Tang Hao were the lords who wielded true power over the Chinese martial arts circle.
They were the ones who dictated how resources were deployed and allocated to different regions of the country and the ones who determined the path for the Chinese martial arts circle's progress.
As for the God of War, Ye Qing-Tian, his incredible strength meant that he held an equally incredible sway over the nation.
That was why Ye Qing-Tian held a unique place in the Chinese martial arts circle.
Even though he had not been made one of the three lords permanently stationed at War God Castle, Sword Saint and the others would seek his advice concerning all serious matters of the Chinese martial arts circle.
In fact, one could arguably claim that Ye Qing-Tian's will represented the will of War God Castle.
