This remark provoked laughter from everyone present.
The Sect Master of the Sky-reaching Sect smiled and said, "Lord Tong is a local hero, having established his military achievements, and in the future, he will surely be recorded in history, but he cannot compare to Taiping Duke Li Wanli or the Divine General Yue Pengwu."
Lord Tong then said,
"Then, gentlemen, who do you think is more loyal to the state, me or Li Wanli and Yue Pengwu?"
These grandees from the Martial World just burst into loud laughter.
Lord Tong was not angry and calmly said, "Gentlemen, look, even with the loyalty of Taiping Duke and Yue Pengwu, they were still suspected by the Emperor and killed; even their reputation and strategies were removed by the Emperor."
"And I, if we talk about loyalty, am not as good as them."
"The current Emperor, wouldn't he be suspicious of me as well?"
