Bickering

After being greatly influenced by the disciples of the Essence Pavilion, King Shengri was very wary of other masters being around the old Khan. The Taoist priests of the Jade Pure Sect, who had been favored by the Khan as soon as they arrived, were the highest profile characters he was on guard against.

"You've competed with the Dragon King in internal energy? And both of you were injured?"

"Yes," Dao Nian humbly replied with his head lowered.

"Then I'll give you a chance to go out there and beat the Dragon King."

"Uhh, this Taoist still has an internal injury…"

"The Dragon King also has an internal injury but he still sliced and diced his opponents apart like melons and cabbages. Why can't you do that?"

"Well… Our sect focuses on cultivating internal energy and building up our body, unlike the Dragon King, whose internal energy is injured but his saber techniques are not affected."
