"Whoa-!", Wei Yuanjie climbed a bit to the sofa, backing away as he didn't expect it to escalate so quickly into the bodyguard's death.
He thought Wu Long was going to somehow block that attack and there would be at least a conversation as they struggled.
What he certainly didn't expect, is for the bodyguard who had been watching and controlling his every move on behalf of the Empress ever since he could remember, to drop dead in less than a second, and for that violent scene to spring out of nowhere right in front of him.
'T-That easily...?', was the thought that came to his mind next, as this insurmountable figure of authority and control, this symbol of his shackles was toppled in a blink of an eye, and if he didn't watch with wide eyes, he would have missed it.
He then turned to the other four who stood in place like statues.
Fen Baihu turned away from the four, having made sure they're completely under her enchantment, as her mist started enveloping them to take them away.
