The only safe guarantee that a person possessed was coming from a powerful family, possessing a powerful background, or possessing powerful strength.
If any of this is missing, then one's life is even more worthless than an ant, and even the people who possessed those are still not completely safe.
They can be killed too, by psychos who care not about their backgrounds or personal strength.
The cultivation world is a dog-eat-dog world, and even Zeras couldn't exclude himself from it.
He had killed those guards the instant they prevented him from entering, without giving it much thought at all.
His reasoning was simple, the same for every cultivator: Every obstacle in their way must be cut down sharply and swiftly with no mercy. Therefore, he had shown no mercy, nor would the guards have if they had been in his shoes.
