Moryana's words frightened all the people present and even made King of Fighters smack his palm on the table and bellow, “This is outrageous! Mu Zihua, do you know what nonsense you are talking about?”
He thought that the reunion of long-time friends would be a happy one.
He was not expecting Moryana to try to seize power right as she came back.
They were once comrade-in-arms, but now, all that was left between them was the greed for power.
That made King of Fighters furious, whereas Sword Saint and the others were disappointed.
Moryana frowned and icily uttered, “What's the matter? Do you not think my disciple Chen Jiuzhou is worthy enough to be in charge of War God Castle and rule over China's martial arts world?”
“Mu Zihua, mind your words! Are you going to speak to us in such a way?”
King of Fighters became angrier, for Mu Zihua's words felt as if they were trampling on his dignity.
Sword Saint quickly cut in, “Zihua, I understand how you feel. After all, everyone hopes that their disciples will turn out to be the best among the best. But Jiuzhou is too young. It isn't time for him to take on this responsibility yet. In a few years' time, when Ye and we are old, we'll step away from the frontlines. Only then would be the time for Wuya, Jiuzhou, and the others to shine. It's far too early for this right now. They need a few more years.”
Furthermore, China's martial arts world had just gone through a catastrophe. What they needed to do most was work together.
Regardless of everything, Sword Saint still hoped that they would not enter a conflict because of something like this.
“No need—now is fine. The strongest rules. Those who are not powerful enough should step aside and let the more suitable ones shine. Otherwise, they'll only be humiliating themselves,” Moryana uttered without reservation.
Ye Qingtian froze.
At that very moment, he felt like he was looking at a stranger instead of someone he knew.
Mu Zihua was no longer the little girl who always ran after him and called him Tian.
She was no longer the happy girl who was all smiles and was adored by all in War God Castle.
Is time truly this powerful? It has changed a person so much.
“You...”
“Insolence! How dare you speak to Ye in this way? Have you forgotten who made you into who you are now? If not for Ye's guidance, how could you have reached Supreme? How could you have officially joined War God Castle? I never thought you'd turn into someone so ungrateful and cruel after not seeing you for over a decade!”
King of Fighters was furious, for he felt that Mu Zihua had crossed the line.
Among the pillars of China, Mu Zihua held the lowest rank among all.
Yet, she was speaking arrogant words and thought nothing of Ye Qingtian, let alone King of Fighters and Sword Saint.
“Fine. The strongest rules, right? Let me see whether or not your disciple has the capability to rule over the War God Castle, then!”
With an angry roar, King of Fighters delivered a powerful punch at Chen Jiuzhou.
Bam!
The heavy blow landed right on Chen Jiuzhou.
But Chen Jiuzhou remained unmoving.
“What?”
King of Fighters widened his eyes in surprise.
In the next second, a wave of Qi came out of Chen Jiuzhou.
King of Fighters groaned in pain as if a sledgehammer had struck him.
Immediately after, he flew backward.
By the time his feet touched the ground again, he was forced to take multiple steps back.
