Chapter 56: Cultivators of the Western Continent

Dozens of Confucian disciples, during the foreign invasion, resolutely took off their academic robes, left the academy, and took up the sword to enter the battlefield.

It's hard to say if their actions should be considered a betrayal, or if it is more appropriate to say they were following their own path.

Li Zhixia's simple description made Shu Guan feel a surge of emotion in his chest.

However, he couldn't help but feel some confusion. Since the academy disciples had already taken action and there were dozens of them, why was Jing City still taken?

Even if they couldn't use their physical bodies to resist the heavy warships and cannons, the warships and cannons wouldn't be able to hit such cultivators.

The destructive power of the firearms three hundred years ago was incomparable to today's firearms.
