War God Castle was the leader of the entire Chinese martial arts scene.
There were a total of six council members at War God Castle.
All six of them were given the title of supreme grandmasters.
Only the best grandmasters were awarded the title.
Highly respectable grandmasters with skills beyond that of their peers who made a major contribution to the martial arts circles could be conferred the title of supreme grandmaster.
Since it was extremely hard to attain the title, it was one of the highest honors in this circle.
Supreme grandmasters were all internationally renowned.
For 100 years, there were only six supreme grandmasters in China, and they were these War God Castle council members here.
They were the pillars of the nation and were known as the six legendary generals.
All these years, they had defended the country against threats from the martial arts world.
Even though there were six of them in War God Castle, very few council members chose to reside on Mount Yan. Only the King of Fighters, Sword Saint, and Heavenly Grandmaster resided there.
The other three supreme grandmasters rarely turned up unless there was a major martial arts incident.
Hence, the King of Fighters and Sword Saint were instantly surprised to see that the God of War, Ye Qing-Tian, was here.
Ye Qing-Tian waved his hand. "I'll pass on the tea."
"I'm here because I have something to ask you. Oh yes. Where is Heavenly Grandmaster, Tang Hao? Why don't I see him around?" asked Ye Qing-Tian quizzically.
In theory, the three resident council members would not leave Mount Yan unless they had something important to attend to.
The King of Fighters smiled. "Him? He locked himself up to cultivate his martial arts a few days ago. I reckon his cultivation level has improved again.
"I see." Ye Qing-Tian nodded and didn't go on asking.
Instead, he turned to the King of Fighters and Sword Saint. "I'm sure you must have caught wind of Mochizuki Kawa's duel with a young man from Jiangdong, right?”
"It's such a tiny matter. How did you know? Did the old geezer, Lu Tian-He, run to you for help?" The King of Fighters frowned and was clearly displeased.
He made it clear that War God Castle wouldn't interfere and help nobodies like him. Did those old geezers beg the God of War instead after he rejected them?
Sword Saint found it strange too. "Qing-Tian, don't tell me you went to Jiangdong to fight Mochizuki Kawa and saved the kid?"
The King of Fighters looked over and waited for the God of War to reply.
The God of War shook his head. "No, I didn't. Mochizuki Kawa had already left by the time I learned about it.
"Great. The War God Castle looks after the big picture. Tiny matters like that aren't worthy of your time. Since he's just a nobody, it doesn't matter if Mochizuki Kawa kills him. He provoked a powerful opponent when his skills weren't good enough, so he deserves to die. It's no point for us to interfere," said Mo Gu-Cheng, the King of Fighters, casually as he made God of War some tea.
If the God of War didn't bring it up, the King of Fighters and Sword Saint would have almost forgotten about it.
They didn't take the matter to heart at the get-go.
After all, it was no fun watching a boring fight.
