At the same time, an unbelievable scene appeared before the Temples of Sages throughout the Human Race.
The gigantic Literary Qi light screens, originally used only during special occasions such as the Ten-Kingdom Competition, suddenly appeared.
Before the light screens everywhere, the scene of Fang Yun stepping on the Qing Lord, his face obscured, played over and over.
The entire Saint Origin Continent fell into chaos.
Within Qing Kingdom territory, resentment soared to the heavens, and fury pierced the skies.
The enormous light screen within Two Worlds Mountain likewise displayed the footage recorded by Fang Yun's Illusory Tower Pearl.
At the drill ground of the Qing Kingdom military camp, every Qing Kingdom officer and soldier had assembled.
The soldiers wept until they could no longer make a sound. Many even collapsed to the ground, wailing loudly and pounding the earth.
Meanwhile, some scholars led by Fang Yun's friends Yan Yukong and Zong Wude stood quietly at the front of the ranks. Their bodies were covered in wounds, and their clothes were torn in many places. Yet, because there had been no fighting for days, their hair remained tidy, and though their garments were tattered, they were not disheveled.
The Qing Army's commander, School of War Grand Academician Zong Shan, sat astride a warhorse, clad in scale armor, positioned before the army.
Zong Shan suddenly cracked his long whip.
Crack...
The piercing sound stunned everyone into silence, and the soldiers' sobs gradually faded.
Zong Shan's eyes were bloodshot. He held his head high, veins bulging from his neck, as Tongue Blossoms Thunder.
"Have we, the soldiers of Qing Kingdom, fought bloodily at Two Worlds Mountain and ever taken a single step back?"
"Never!" some shouted.
"Have we, the soldiers of Qing Kingdom, ever received preferential treatment?"
"Never!" even more people shouted
