Chapter 1707: Dignity of the Owner of the Hall of Life and Death

Dignity of the Owner of the Hall of Life and Death . . .

The fight was ongoing.

Cha-Eun Xiao was lost in thoughts.

When the Monarch's Hall was fighting the local forces in the City of Chaos, the Seven Lotus Clan had sent their men to help. When Cha-Eun Xiao saw those people fighting, he felt familiar with the martial arts. Now as he thought twice, he realized it was the technique of Cage Phase! Those men only used it at the moment the enemies were taken down. That was the final attack that brought them victory. In the Qing-Yun Realm, using this magnificent power so carelessly was useless!

At the moment, when the old man in cyan clothes operated the technique of Cage Phase, it was actually much more effective and powerful than Cha-Eun Xiao's Art of Cage. The old man had locked the Ghost King up immediately with just a slight move. However, Cha-Eun Xiao knew that the technique was better developed in the Qing-Yun Realm!

Cha-Eun Xiao was impressed, but also confused. Since he arrived in the Human Realm Upon Heavens, he hadn't seen anybody else who could use the technique of the Cage Phase except this old man and those people from the Seven Lotus Clan. Xuan Bing hadn't seen any either. What exactly was the maximum of the three great techniques of the Qing-Yun Realm?

Cha-Eun Xiao was shocked, and then he was lost in thoughts. He noticed, when the old man in cyan clothes used the technique of the Cage Phase, it felt different…

When the old man did it, he didn't operate any power of himself… Instead, he seemed to utter a spell or something… That was when the Ghost King was locked… Cha-Eun Xiao was so confused!

It was totally not the principle of the technique of the Cage Phase that Cha-Eun Xiao mastered!

Cha-Eun Xiao and Xuan Bing were the only two people in the tavern who knew about such an incredible technique. The others were just in shock.

When they were all in shock, the old man in cyan clothes slowly put down his hand as if he was going to sweep off some dust on the Ghost King's shoulder. It was gentle and soft.

However, when the hand was about one meter away from the Ghost King's head, the Ghost King suddenly shivered and then fell down to the floor.

Well, he didn't just fall down. That would be inaccurate.

In fact, it seemed his bones were totally taken off, so his flesh wasn't supported anymore. He became like a pile of mud melting down to the floor.

As he was on the floor, his face couldn't be recognized… He was truly just a pile of mud. There was even no blood running out.

The Ghost King, one of the twelve kings, a top-level superior cultivator, was killed in such a weird way!

Not even the Ghost King, but also the twelve subordinates of the Ghost King were killed when the old man in cyan clothes put down his hand. They all became just melting mud on the floor.

With a slight move of a hand, the old man killed a top-class superior cultivator!

That was incredibly powerful and horrible!

The old man in cyan clothes breathed a sigh and suddenly started to cough. He coughed so hard that it felt like his lungs were going to explode. After a while, he felt better, and his pale face finally turned a little ruddy. He covered his mouth with one hand and waved the other hand.

A few young men in white clothes came over with some tools in their hands and picked up the melted flesh on the floor. They were cleaning away the dead bodies. People looked out the door when the young men carried the bodies out, and they threw the dead bodies to a place near the tavern.

It was a hill that was in a weird color.

That weird color was the same as the color of the Ghost King's dead body.

It was actually a hillock of dried bodies, mixed with blood and rotten flesh.

Xuan Bing retched.

If this didn't happen, nobody would notice the hillock outside the door. Some grass had grown on the hill… It was a hillock of dead bodies.

How many people had the man killed to pile up such a hillock of dead bodies?

Everybody had seen the absolute power of the old man in cyan clothes. As they saw the rotting dead bodies of the men he killed, they weren't enjoying the time anymore. They were terrified!

The old man in cyan clothes turned over and faced his guests. He apologized and said, "I am so sorry, guys. It has been a long time since we had such trouble in the tavern. Some guests must have forgotten about our rules of peace in the tavern. It sadly started a chaos today, which disturbed your good times. Please, continue with your food and drinks. The problem is solved."

After that, he actually smiled.

Xuan Bing's face was colorless. She was too sick to even keep staying in this place, not to mention eating anything.

Not only Xuan Bing but also many of the others were too sick to eat anymore. If they didn't see that hillock, maybe they could still eat something and drink more. For cultivators in the martial world, it was not a rare thing to see people die near the table of food during mealtime. It was the last thing a cultivator should do to get back on the road without eating his fill.

However, as for now…

They might not care about seeing people die in front of them, but eating beside a hillock of dead rotting bodies was a totally different story! They were that brave and unaffected!

Nobody was ready to eat anymore!

The Flower King, who should be the one who fought the Ghost King but ended up to be a spectator, had never expected things would end up like this. He was all ready to give up his life, but the problem was solved, and he didn't even need to say a word!

As he sat down on the chair, he was still blank. He didn't know what to think…

Cha-Eun Xiao was surprised when he recognized the technique of the Cage Phase, but after that, he stayed calm. He didn't need to give the order to the snakes or Erhuo anymore.

Erhuo, Hawky, Bab, and the forty-eight Silver-scaled Golden-caruncled Snakes had been nervous for a while when the order was about to be given.

This trump card in Cha-Eun Xiao's hand was definitely powerful enough to severely damage the Ghost King. However, if he had to do this, there was a big price he had to pay. Half of the forty-eight Silver-scaled Golden-caruncled Snakes might have to die in the fight. After all, the enemy was a top-class superior cultivator who was much more powerful than the Flower King. The death of some snakes was the least price he had to pay!

The landlord of the tavern, the old man in cyan clothes, had Cha-Eun Xiao's respect and gratitude.

The old man in cyan clothes seemed to be better now but still coughed slightly. With his left hand on his mouth, he slowly moved his feet to move forward.

The old man talked to Cha-Eun Xiao, "Business is business. I apologize to you, for the trouble that we failed to prevent beforehand. It must have brought you disturbance… Therefore, all the food and drinks you ordered are on the house. Please accept my apology. My honorable guests, no matter how long you will stay in the Black Town, I will cover the expense for you in the days to come when you stayed."

The entire tavern was in shock.

These people were all good cultivators in the martial world. they all had sharp sensations. When the landlord killed the Ghost King, they all felt that invisible barriers between two tables were gone. They could hear each other again.

At the moment, they could all clearly hear every single word people at other tables said. Even the sound of breath or a sip of water was clearly heard.

When they heard the old landlord's words, they were all shocked!

First of all, they all knew that Cha-Eun Xiao, the Flower King, and Xuan Bing were saved by the landlord. The old man saved their lives and even covered their expenses as compensation. He had a good reason to give them compensation, but he didn't have to do it!

Secondly, people were shocked and jealous.

Everything in Black Town was horribly expensive. The King of Poisons, as a Saint Origin Stage cultivator, couldn't afford a simple meal in the tavern! The Black Town was truly a costly place!

People had to pay for food, drinks, and residence in the town as well…

All the things that cost a lot of money in the Human Realm Upon Heavens could be found in this small town!

Most importantly, everything was millions of times more expensive than the other places in the world!

There were auctions… There were dan beads… There were medicinal materials…

There were beautiful girls that most cultivators wouldn't have the opportunity to see…

Everything cost a horrible number of purple spirit coins.

If Cha-Eun Xiao went to an auction and bought one thing, it could cost him tens of thousands of purple spirit coins, even hundreds of thousands of purple spirit coins!

There were many more things he could spend money on!

The landlord in cyan clothes was giving Cha-Eun Xiao a credit card with no limit.

How could he give Cha-Eun Xiao such a commitment?

What for?

The others were staring at Cha-Eun Xiao with envy. Cha-Eun Xiao didn't look aside, just smiled and said, "It is too kind of you. It is too much to take. I can't accept it."

The old man in cyan clothes friendly said, "Why not? You surely can. You deserve it. It is my apology. Please, don't turn me down."

Cha-Eun Xiao blandly said, "You are a sensible person. Well, can you be more honest with me? I am afraid this is not just your apology, is it? If there is something else other than an apology, I am afraid you are not giving me enough."

The old man's eyes lit up. He said, "It is not enough indeed! Monarch Cha, you are such a wise man with sharp eyes. You can see things people can't see."

Cha-Eun Xiao smiled and said, "I know I have a sharp mind, but I want your explanation."

The old man in cyan clothes bitterly smiled and said, "You are the owner of the Hall of Life and Death. How can I mistreat you?"

The owner of the Hall of Life and Death!

As the old man said these words, over seventy men in the Liquor of Martial World were all shocked. They were all enlightened immediately.

'That is why!'

'It turns out that this young man is the Monarch Cha, who is known to have the capability of bringing people back from death. He is a marvelous doctor who saved a lot of people, the owner of the Hall of Life and Death.'

'The Lord Monarch of the Monarch's Hall!'

As they all knew who Cha-Eun Xiao really was, they weren't jealous of him anymore. They all calmed down and sat still at the table. There were two kinds of people cultivators in the martial world that wouldn't offend.

First, was the powerful cultivators. It was an iron rule in the martial world that who had the bigger fist took the higher seat. Offending people with strong power was seeking death.

The second was people like Cha-Eun Xiao. Nobody dared to offend doctors, dan-makers, and pharmacists.

They could always save one's life when death approached!

Making friends to these people meant having a bigger chance to live!

With a friend like Cha-Eun Xiao, people might even save their friends and families!

If one was an enemy to the doctor, he and his friends and families might die because of him!

There were too many people of the second kind in the Human Realm Upon Heavens. Before the Hall of Life and Death became famous, there were two people in the world that people would speak with awe.

One was the famous Dan God, and the other was the recognized Medicine God.

Even these two influential people had failed to save their patients. There were patients that they couldn't save. When the Hall of Life and Death was built, the history of the Human Realm Upon Heavens was changed. The owner of the Hall of Life and Death, the marvelous doctor, had never failed to save his patients!

No matter how badly the patient was hurt, Master Cha saved him from death in days!

Even if the patient's body was totally broken, he could piece him together and give him back his life!

Even if the patient's inner organs were like tofu, he could keep him alive.

Even if the patient's soul was destroyed, Master Cha could always bring the patient back to health!

Most importantly, and most incredibly and unbelievably, patients who were cured in the Hall of Life and Death never had any sequelae! The patients could always restore their power, their spirit, and their life energy… They were just fully recovered!

Cha-Eun Xiao truly had kept death away from his patients!

He was the true marvelous doctor in the world!

He was known as the man who controlled life and death in the world!

Who dared to mess with him?

When people heard that this young man was the owner of the Hall of Life and Death, the marvelous doctor, they all regretted. 'When the Ghost King showed up, I should attack him to help Monarch Cha! Why didn't I?'

'If I stepped out then, even if I was defeated by the Ghost King, the Liquor of Martial World wouldn't let the Ghost King kill me anyway…'

'That was a good opportunity to make friends with the owner of the Hall of Life and Death!'

'I could have earned myself many more lives for the future!'

'I just missed it!'

Many people regretted it.

Cha-Eun Xiao smiled and said, "You have a pair of sharp eyes. You recognized me… Well, I guess this is it. Let me guess. Do you have somebody who is suffering from some weird disease? Does anybody get hurt?"

The landlord in cyan clothes looked around and bitterly said, "Monarch Cha, can we have a private talk?"

Cha-Eun Xiao nodded and said, "Of course! That is not a problem!"

After that, Cha-Eun Xiao, Xuan Bing, the Flower King, and the King of Poisons all felt dazed. They felt like the sky was spinning over their heads.

When the four of them were sober again, they were somewhere else.

It was a quiet room.

The room wasn't spacious, but it should be able to hold about thirty people at the same time.

There was a table in the room with five chairs. That made the room look empty.

Cha-Eun Xiao slowly took a breath. After the space travel, he was more certain about one thing in his head.
