Qin Chen and the others listened intently.
Although it was their first time in Chaotian City, they were quite familiar with it.
It was undoubtedly a place with strict laws and extremely harsh conditions.
Yet, the owner of the Medicine King Garden killed two invading Martial Kings without hesitation. Even if he had the reason on his side, it would definitely cause a huge uproar.
Moreover, the other party was an outsider.
"What happened next?"
Everyone looked at Liu Tai.
Liu Tai smiled bitterly and said, "Who knew that the owner of the Medicine King Garden would be so domineering? When the seventh-level Martial King from that medium power came to confront him, before he could say anything, he was directly thrown out by the owner of the Medicine King Garden and severely injured."
"If he hadn't run away quickly, he would probably have ended up like the two previous Martial Kings, killed here as well."
Even a mid-level seventh-stage Martial King was injured and chased away?
Everyone was astonished. With such strength, the owner was at least at the peak of the mid-level seventh stage, and would not be an unknown figure in the entire Hundred Dynasty territory.
However, could the people of the Hundred Dynasty really tolerate such arrogance?
While everyone was puzzled, they heard Liu Tai continue, "The actions of the owner of the Medicine King Garden were too extreme. Moreover, that medium power has been operating in the Hundred Dynasty for many years and undoubtedly has its backers. Eventually, it provoked the anger of the top-ranked Da Shang Dynasty, and the ancestor of the Da Shang Dynasty, Lord Shang Zhou, personally came to Chaotian City to seek justice."
The ancestor of the top-ranked Da Shang Dynasty?
Everyone's expressions stiffened.
In the Hundred Dynasty territory, dynasties were divided into three levels: low, medium, and high.
A low-ranked dynasty only needed a Martial King to oversee it, while a medium-ranked dynasty required a mid-level seventh-stage Martial King, and a high-ranked dynasty must have a late-stage seventh-level Martial King.
The ancestor of the top-ranked Da Shang Dynasty must be a late-stage seventh-level Martial King expert.
Could the owner of the Medicine King Garden withstand such a powerhouse?
"What happened next?"
Everyone couldn't help but ask, looking curious.
Liu Tai sighed and said, "When Shang Zhou appeared, he demanded the owner of the Medicine King Garden clarify the situation and give a fair answer. Naturally, the owner of the Medicine King Garden refused, and both sides immediately started fighting. In the end, no one knew the outcome; all that is known is that after the confrontation, Shang Zhou returned to the Da Shang Dynasty and never mentioned wanting an explanation again."
"The incident about the two fallen Martial Kings from that medium power was just left at that."
This...
Everyone was dumbfounded. Although the final outcome did not spread, anyone with eyes could see that Shang Zhou must not have fared well; otherwise, a dignified ancestor of a high-ranked dynasty would not let it go so easily.
"From that day on, the owner of the Medicine King Garden became a legend in Chaotian City, and no one dared to disrespect him," Liu Tai said with a bitter smile.
"However, while the owner of the Medicine King Garden has a strange personality and is unfriendly, he is not completely unreasonable. Since that incident, the impression of the owner in the Hundred Dynasty has been extremely poor. Some people even wanted to incite the seven high-ranked dynasties to expel him. However, the owner occasionally treats people or refines pills, which made everyone realize that he is actually a seventh-grade Medicine King, and in terms of alchemy skills, he may not even be inferior to Master Zhao Tiansheng of the Alchemy Pavilion headquarters in Chaotian City."
"As his fame spread, the attitude of the Hundred Dynasty towards this person became less hostile. After all, no one can be certain when they might encounter danger, and having such a powerful Medicine King around, even if he is unfriendly, is equivalent to having another path. Moreover, while the owner of the Medicine King Garden has a strange character, he only guards his own medicine garden and rarely engages in matters within the Hundred Dynasty. The seven dynasties merely turned a blind eye and stopped targeting him."
