Jiang Wumeng stated that the current situation was dire. She explained that there were many martial artists hidden throughout Daxia. These practitioners lived among the common people—some were migrant workers, others worked on factory assembly lines, and some were street cleaners.

Jiang Chen only then learned that these martial artists were collectively known as Ancient Martial Artists.
