What is the God of War Hall?
That night, Jiang Wuming's words once again shocked the global martial arts world!
This was because, since the creation of the God of War Hall, it was the first time anyone had challenged its authority!
Even Jiang Zhan, twenty years ago, did not directly confront the God of War Hall; instead, the Dragon Country martial arts community engaged in a contest with it.
As for the City of Sin and the legendary Underworld Hall, they merely established themselves as kings in their own right, never directly challenging the God of War Hall's global martial arts authority and status.
Was this a declaration of war?
After the shock, this was the question in many people's minds.
In their view, with matters having reached this point, reconciliation between Jiang Wuming and the God of War Hall was impossible, and the Dragon Country martial arts community would not protect Jiang Wuming as they had twenty years ago.
No, this was a response!
Someone posted such a thread on the Divine Net forum, offering an analysis that Jiang Wuming's retaliatory actions had completely angered the God of War Hall, which had declared him a public enemy and issued a kill order.
In such circumstances, Jiang Wuming's response was no longer a provocation or a declaration of war, but a response!
"Yes, I agree with this statement. This is a response. Because the God of War Hall was the first to declare its intention to kill Jiang Wuming, he had no choice but to respond!"
Soon, the idea of responding gained the approval of many.
"Jiang Wuming is not a member of the God of War Hall; he has joined the City of Sin and is hailed as its new master. Does his response mean that the God of War Hall and the City of Sin are about to go to war?"
"Since Jiang Wuming has responded, will his retaliatory actions continue?"
"We strongly urge both sides, for the future of humanity, to exercise restraint and remain calm, and to sit down and resolve the issue through negotiation!"
For a time, whether on the Divine Net forum or in major martial arts factions worldwide, discussions revolved around this matter. Some were curious about the subsequent developments, some were calling for peace, and some were filled with apprehension.
This was because one side represented the most authoritative institution in the global martial arts world, and the other was the most outstanding genius in the history of global martial arts, once hailed as a hero and the future of the global martial arts world!
...
Underworld Hall Headquarters.
Shen Zui received an order and came to the hall where the Underworld King resided.
"Lord Underworld King, you sent for me."
Shen Zui bowed respectfully to the Underworld King as usual.
"Shen Zui, do you think your junior brother will continue to retaliate against those five families in Europe?"
The Underworld King asked Shen Zui with great interest.
"Yes!"
Shen Zui's answer was crisp.
"Why?" the Underworld King asked.
"My junior brother is a person who values loyalty and righteousness. Both his deceased father and Li Lianyi are the most important people in his life. With new and old grievances, he has completely fallen out with the God of War Hall and cannot let those five families go!" Shen Zui said.
"Values loyalty and righteousness?"
Hearing Shen Zui's words, a sharp gleam flashed in the Underworld King's eyes, and he said, "Indeed. Your junior brother cares deeply about his friends and family; he fights for them most of the time."
"Yes, Lord Underworld King."
Shen Zui noticed the Underworld King's subtle expression and had a thought, but he responded calmly.
"However, you had better remind your junior brother. Europe is different from other places; it is the base camp of the God of War Hall and the Roman family. If he goes to Europe for revenge alone, it will be a very dangerous matter!"
The Underworld King said, changing his tone, and looked directly at Shen Zui, "Of course, if your master goes with your junior brother, there will be no danger at all."
"My master has not come out of seclusion yet, and his injuries are likely not recovered. Otherwise, he would have come forward to support my junior brother long ago."
Shen Zui smiled bitterly and shook his head, then thanked him:
"Thank you for the reminder, Lord Underworld King, but I never interfere in my junior brother's affairs. I also believe he has good judgment and will not rashly go to Europe."
"I am merely reminding you. It's up to you."
The Underworld King waved his hand and ended the conversation.
"Thank you again, Lord Underworld King!"
Shen Zui bowed and retreated, his expression changing the moment he turned around.
At the same time.
A undisguised cold smile appeared on the Underworld King's lips!
...
For the next three days.
The scene of a Mars collision with Earth that global martial artists had anticipated did not occur.
The God of War Hall did not send anyone to kill Jiang Wuming, as if they had forgotten their previous statement and kill order.
Jiang Wuming also did not continue to retaliate against the five European families; news indicated that he had returned to the City of Sin.
Three days later.
In Europe, in the ancient castle renowned as a forbidden zone for martial artists.
Anthony @ Roman received a video call from his father, Saintlun @ Roman, in his private chamber.
"According to our spies, after that worm returned to the City of Sin, he went into seclusion for cultivation. It seems he will not, or dare not, come to Europe."
In the video feed, Saintlun @ Roman frowned and said.
After Jiang Wuming appeared at the ancestral land of the Aman family in India and confronted the God of War Hall, Saintlun @ Roman went to Mark's ancestral land.
Mark was the leader of the plan to hunt Jiang Wuming, and his family was a subordinate family of the Roman family.
Saintlun @ Roman went to the ancestral land of the Mark family not to protect Mark's family members, but to set an ambush and seize the opportunity to kill Jiang Wuming.
This was Anthony @ Roman's plan.
Now that Jiang Wuming had returned to the City of Sin, this plan had failed, and Saintlun @ Roman contacted Anthony @ Roman.
"It should be like this."
Anthony @ Roman frowned.
Once upon a time, Jiang Wuming was a worm he could crush at will.
Now, Jiang Wuming had grown, and killing him was no longer an easy task.
In fact, if this opportunity was missed, and Jiang Wuming broke through to the Five-star God of War realm, the situation would become even worse!
At that time, the pressure would completely shift to the Roman family and the God of War Hall!
"Should we go to the City of Sin together?"
Saintlun @ Roman suggested.
"How can you be sure that Old Daoist Tianlong isn't faking his injuries? This is too risky!"
Anthony @ Roman directly refused.
Saintlun @ Roman remained silent.
Although he and Anthony @ Roman could easily kill Dawson, who was at the peak Heavenly God realm, they had no confidence in killing Daoist Tianlong.
Unless it was in the ancient castle – where Anthony @ Roman had made arrangements!
This was also why Anthony @ Roman had been living in the ancient castle.
"Temporarily give up hunting that worm."
After a long silence, Anthony @ Roman made a decision.
"Give up?"
Saintlun @ Roman was surprised. He did not expect Anthony @ Roman to make such a decision.
"Yes. He's holed up in the City of Sin, and you can't kill him."
Anthony @ Roman nodded first, then his eyes flashed with brilliance, "Moreover, I think, given the current situation, someone may not be able to sit still. He will very likely do something. Let's wait and see what happens."
"Okay."
Upon hearing this, Saintlun @ Roman's heart stirred, and a figure immediately came to mind!
