Defender Duanmu's Resolve

"Leave? Do you think that you have the power to command us, you old thing?!" The man dressed in long black robes laughed in disdain as he glared at Defender Duanmu with his exposed eyes.

Defender Duanmu frowned as he thought to himself. 'Just who are these people? They're not even afraid even after knowing our identities. I can't even tell the strength of that guy leading them, but those people with him are at least at the 5th-rank Spirit realm with some at the 6th-rank King realm. It will be bad if we have a direct confrontation with them. How troublesome!'

Defender Duanmu glanced at the imperial guards behind him and ordered in an irrefutable tone. "Go bring the fifth princess and the fourth prince back to the imperial palace! I'll hold them off here!"

The imperial guards were surprised at the command but after seeing the determined look of Defender Duanmu, they nodded their heads and saluted with grim expressions.
