"Young Master Bai, this is no joking matter. Please, listen to us!"
The Captain Guard still tried to be polite, knowing who the person before him was.
Bai Zihan tilted his head, his smirk never wavering.
His boot ground down a fraction harder, wringing another pained groan from the elder beneath him.
"Tell me, do you know why this man lies here today?"
The words hung heavy.
The captain frowned. He didn't know the full truth—only that it was crucial to handle the situation swiftly.
If he failed, he would be remembered as the one who couldn't maintain peace and security during the Competition.
"He was trying to kill me."
Bai Zihan announced.
Murmurs surged.
"What… Elder Wu wanted to kill Bai Zihan?"
"There shouldn't be a conflict between Bai Zihan and Azure Sun Holy Sect, right?"
"Impossible! He's an Elder—why would he—?"
"But… if it's true… then isn't Bai Zihan's action justifiable?"
Bai Zihan's tone deepened, carrying the seriousness of the situation.
