Guren quickly denied their cooperation with the Luo; however, I couldn't let my guard down.
Fang immediately went into battle mode, sharpening her senses as she scanned the entire area. However, she didn't feel the familiar presence of our pursuers anywhere around her.
Igni was releasing a slight pressure, intimidating the two shadows who were holding daggers as they jumped out of Guren's shadow. While Ember deployed a clone and turned it into a semi-transparent film to cover us from possible attacks.
"Stop, you two!"
Guren shouted to them, preventing them from taking another step forward. The two shadows, Sasuke and Chiyome, stopped in their tracks before moving behind Guren, who was still kowtowing, and keeping watch over the situation.
"Please pardon my subordinates; they only fear for my personal safety."
Guren quickly apologized.
