Seeing his reaction, Chen Jian waved his hand and said:
"No need to be so tense."
"When I said 'Jinling City doesn't exist', I didn't mean in the physical sense."
"Of course, the city still exists... it's just that, in a short period of time, it might become a Jinling City you won't recognize."
"A large number of devout followers of the Mechanical God Sect are setting out on a pilgrimage to the Mountain City, and as for the rest of them..."
"Whether they truly believe in the Holy Trinity or are forced to, I think you know better than I do."
"So if you truly want to protect your followers, the best way isn't to return to Jinling City but to open a safe pilgrimage route for them."
"The route we planned is what you want, isn't it?"
"....Yes."
Guo Xu let out a heavy sigh.
He realized that he hadn't had a choice from the start.
The Huaxia Army had already planned every step.
He was just a pawn.
