I Became a Supporting Character in a Martial Arts Novel (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 154

Let me go over again what I had to do in Xi’an: participate as a combatant when localized battles broke out, assist civilians who hadn’t managed to evacuate in time, or uncover Demonic Sect members possibly hiding among the common folk.
