Chapter 954: At the Heights of the Great Dao, the Scenery Is Best Enjoyed Alone
First to die for the country!
The many cultivators present were greatly shaken.
These few words, if spoken by an ordinary person, say a soldier of the Northern Frontier, they would not provoke much thought. But who was Chen Chao now?
He was the foremost military official of the Great Liang Dynasty, the number one martial artist in the world.
Someone like this, even if one day the demon race broke through the Northern Frontier Great Wall, he would not necessarily have to die. Great Liang could very well follow the precedent of former dynasties, ceding thirty thousand miles or tens of thousands of miles of land, even handing over an entire province like Xinliu Prefecture to the demon race, it would not be impossible.
In short, no matter how one looked at it, Chen Chao had many paths of retreat.
Yet this young martial artist made a solemn oath here, to live and die with the Northern Frontier Great Wall. That was not ordinary.
This was him cutting off his own retreat.
And among the cultivators present, most of their sects were in Xinliu Prefecture. Even those without sects had, over the years, regarded Xinliu Prefecture as their place of cultivation.
