In the battle between the Qin Dynasty and the Liu Kingdom, the king of Liu actually did not go back to aid the Liu Kingdom. Instead, he broke into the Qin Imperial Palace and caused a significant loss for the Qin Dynasty. Qin Dynasty had been too careless.
Of course, this battle did not really shake the Qin Dynasty's foundations. The power of the strongest people was, after all, the deciding factor of whether a force was strong or not. For example, the Cottage only had a few disciples, but to Qin Dynasty it was far more threatening than any other force in Eastern Barren Territory. The reason was simple—they were all too strong. They could be considered a whole kingdom.
Today, who could be considered as the most powerful people in the Eastern Barren Territory? They were, of course, those who had comprehended some sage intent, or those who had a sage ritual implement.
