When Li Changhe revealed his secret and activated his Mythical State.
His significance in the eyes of some changed.
In their eyes, there was a clear division of interests.
General Li Ba's strength was terrifying indeed, especially that arrow, Heavenly Dragon Fall, whose fearsome power made even demigods furrow their brows.
Yet even so, in their view, Li Ba could still be sacrificed and discarded.
Because no matter how strong he was, he was still some distance from becoming a demigod. He might fall in some task before he reached that status.
His adversary, the King of Bloodriders, was only a step away from demigod status. Perhaps in the next task, or in the next battle, she could ascend to demigodhood and add another force for humanity.
So, although it was regrettable and disappointing about Li Ba, if they had to choose between Li Ba and the Bloodriders, it would be better for Li Ba to perish.
