Many heroes had tried to rise against Patroclus, but they all failed.
Although the human world still had capable warriors such as Li Shiming and Li Ruoer, their power fell short before Patroclus.
Patroclus' existence was a sharp knife that hung above the neck of humanity and constantly reminded the humans of their inevitable annihilation. However, with Wang Tong's return, the humans started to see hope once again. Wang Tong was the only person who had defeated Patroclus in the past, and he was humanity's last and only hope. The humans' belief in Wang Tong's special power was also shared among the Immortals. No Immortal would feel ashamed for fleeing from a battle against Wang Tong. Therefore, all the Immortals inside Boston had fled the city right after the four generals' defeat.
Wang Tong's presence had ensured the security of Boston. In the days that followed, he pushed away other appointments and spent most of his time with Ma Xiaoru.
