The Man In Rage novel Chapter 2041

“What about it? Does the martial arts world of Jiangdong think—” Sword Saint stopped himself midsentence, and whatever anger he had was replaced by a feeling of helplessness. “It's because of him, isn't it? Well, it is his hometown, so their reaction is to be expected.”

Sword Saint knew all too well that Jiangdong was Ye Fan's hometown.

Back then, the War God Castle had left Jiangdong to fend for itself when it was plunged into despair.

That was what led to the War God Castle losing its control over Jiangdong completely.

A few years later, the War God Castle tried sending people over to reclaim Jiangdong.

However, Chu Tianfan's influence in Jiangdong was so strong that the martial arts world of Jiangdong only listened to him.

As such, there was nothing surprising about Jiangdong disregarding the War God Castle's orders when it was in trouble.

“Fine, they don't have to come if they don't want to. We'll be fine as long as we have the martial artists from the other states. Jiangbei and Tellmoore have the strongest martial artists.”

Since the War God Castle had lost its influence over Jiangdong, Sword Saint no longer expected Jiangdong's martial artists to defend them with their lives.

Given the size of China's martial arts world, it wouldn't really make a huge difference if they lacked the support of Jiangdong's martial artists.

Their conversation was interrupted when someone opened the castle door and shouted anxiously, “Sword Saint! King of Fighters! Bad news! W-We just received word that Jiangbei's forces suddenly changed their course when they got within eight hundred kilometers of War God Castle. They're headed straight for Jiangdong!”

Sword Saint leaped to his feet. “What? Headed for Jiangdong? Who's the martial arts leader of Jiangbei? Contact him immediately!”

“We've tried to, but we couldn't get through!” the subordinate replied.

“Then try again! I don't care if you have to call him a hundred or even a thousand times! Keep trying until you get through to him! I want to ask the martial arts leader of Jiangbei what they're up to in this time of need! Why would they even go to Jiangdong?”

The more chaotic a situation was, the higher the chances were for things to go amiss.

The War God Castle was already having a headache dealing with the Chu Sect's assault.

As if Jiangdong's martial arts world refusing to help wasn't bad enough, Jiangbei's martial artists changing course on their own worsened things even further.

Sword Saint felt as if all of China had descended into chaos that night.

“Jiangbei? Sword Saint, isn't that the where the Lu Clan is from? You know, the one Ye Fan exterminated long ago. Do you think they're headed to Jiangdong to get their revenge by destroying Chu Tianfan's grave?” King of Fighters asked.

That was when Sword Saint recalled how the incident with the Lu Clan had caused a huge commotion in China's martial arts world back then.

Not only did Ye Fan wipe the entire Lu Clan out, but he also murdered many of Jiangbei's martial artists.

That resulted in Jiangbei's martial arts world seeing him as an enemy.

Therefore, it made sense that Jiangbei's forces would try to get their revenge on Jiangdong during the chaos.

“Zhang Jiuling is the current martial arts leader of Jiangbei, right? That old bag of bones sure has gone crazy! All of China's martial arts world is on the brink of destruction, and he's leading his men to get revenge?”

Sword Saint was so mad that he trembled all over.
