Word of the Medicine God Pavilion Lord being captured spread like wildfire.
"Can't believe the Medicine God Pavilion Lord actually lost. What a shame."
"From what I heard, eight half-step Martial Marquises ganged up on Medicine God Pavilion that day!"
"The Pavilion Master took on all eight by herself and held back from killing anyone. Hard to say who would've won otherwise."
"Plus, word is she was poisoned and couldn't even use half her real power."
"Really catches you off guard. Medicine God Pavilion had connections everywhere, but when push came to shove, nobody showed up to help."
People talked about it everywhere, feeling sorry for Medicine God Pavilion.
But everyone knew the truth deep down—the more power you have, the higher you climb.
And the higher you climb, the more you care about what benefits you. Feelings don't mean squat anymore.
