Chapter 1081 Master Elijah

• "The former sect leader of the Northern Star Sect, Master Elijah?" Gardner, the head of the Celestial Blade Sect, instantly revealed an expression of deep respect and admiration.
• "Master Elijah's return is our only hope against Drakebane, our chance to reclaim Sakurania's martial honor! He's a legendary grandmaster, a once-in-a-century talent. Thirty years ago, a fabricated scandal robbed us of his brilliance—a deliberate conspiracy that drove him away. Since then, our martial world has declined, losing its true spirit. Without Master Elijah, we've become a second-rate power. The Nine Grandmasters on our ranking have lost their luster. Only his presence can restore the Sakurania Martial Arts Ranking to its rightful place at the top of the world."
• Roderick of the Ironwood Sect concurred. "Master Elijah's mastery is undeniable. His absence has dimmed Sakurania's martial spirit. It's a tragedy, a profound disgrace! All due to petty ambition and power grabs. Master Elijah was framed; we all know Juan was behind it! And yet, no one dared defend him. Shame on us! We're contemptible! Sakurania's martial world, for all its supposed greatness, rejected a true grandmaster of virtue. This reveals the rot at the heart of our people!"
