The guard was slain on the spot.
The bystanders were all stunned.
Then, other guards quickly came to their senses, with an elder walking from behind who angrily shouted, "For the betrayal and slaughter of our own, kill him."
Upon hearing this, the guards engaged again.
They all knew things had turned for the worse.
With a person dead, if the Law Enforcement Hall took the murderer away, a thorough investigation would follow.
Troubles are going to arise during this time.
Particularly for the elder guard, who had some status and knew many secrets, he was in the midst of advocating for a corruption purge at Qianchen Peak.
Should the Law Enforcement Hall intercede in the midst of the purge,
the sword of authority they wield could very well become the weapon of the Law Enforcement Hall.
Such force, those below can't withstand.
Thus, the entire Qianchen Peak would face tremendous trouble.
