Hu Shining had warned them not to enter a prolonged engagement. But in the end, it turned out that they nearly got wrapped up into one anyways.
The spacious King An's mansion suddenly became crowded. Most of the people in it were masked and in black. If someone let his companions out of sight for even an instant, he would be unable to distinguish his companions from his enemies forever after. It seemed as if none of the groups there had thought of putting on some kind of distinguishing mark on their clothes in advance.
If he still had his former strength, Old Man Mu would have been more than willing to venture into the mansion. But now, he strictly followed Hu Shining's "order" – stand by. If anyone approached him, no matter if they were enemies or friends, he would transfer to another position immediately, always maintaining a safe distance from the battleground.
