To be honest, it wasn't their fault. If it was up to them, Bingxing and Lanyan would have jumped out the moment Xiao Xinmei tried to hurt any of those men. However, a cold voice drifted into their minds; and their souls shook. A strange presence stood beside them and rendered them immobile. Even if they had to watch Emodao's mortal body tumble around the place, they couldn't fight the hold of the strange presence.
Lanyan was doing pretty badly against it. Her eyes had teared up, and fear had been shaking her heart. She couldn't stand the presence, but she endured in case Emodao would need her later. Bingxing, however, was quite familiar with this presence. He had felt this once... at the time when he first met Emodao. He spied around and saw how Emodao slaughtered the humans in a protected city while a woman in white robes looked down at them.
