Chapter 173: Private Discussion with Hong Meilin

Wang Jian's voice turned heavy and serious as he directed his words towards the church followers, his tone cutting through the tension in the air. "If you wish to argue, then allow me to present a statement that has echoed throughout this world countless times."

Pausing for a moment to gather his thoughts, he spoke coldly, "In this realm, might makes right."

His words hung in the air, leaving a chilling effect on the listeners. Wang Jian continued, his voice laced with icy resolve, "Now, take a moment to consider who possesses the greater power in this situation. You all witnessed my strength during the battle with that demon earlier. Imagine the extent of my power."

"Then ask yourselves, can your bishops even hope to defeat me, let alone my formidable allies? It is because of these undeniable truths that your bishops and even Hong Meilin herself have chosen to remain silent in the face of our outrageous but accurate claims."
