Many in the Qi Clan were unhappy with the share of Supreme Evolution Liquid allocated to Lu Chen. Even though he had exchanged vital divine materials for it, some still demanded that his portion be canceled.

Qi Xing, whom Lu Chen had brutally stomped and taught a lesson, was Qi Shan's grandson. Naturally, he now vehemently opposed giving that outsider the precious liquid.
