At the time of the sunset.
The street outside Cuihu Residence was peaceful, seemingly filled with common folk passing by, but in reality, among ten people, about three or four would occasionally glance at this mansion, reputedly the most splendid and luxurious in Xingqing Prefecture.
This was expected.
Who didn't know that Lord of Xingqing, King Ping, favored staying at Cuihu Residence, and many significant affairs were decided in its gardens every day?
A place like this couldn't possibly be left unguarded.
Even if the guards might not truly serve any purpose, deploying more soldiers for protection was part of the expected display.
Although King Ping was away on an expedition, the guarding soldiers hadn't received orders to retreat and thus continued loyally protecting the place.
"Boom…"
A burst of five-colored light descended from the sky, echoing thunderously.
In the eyes of the people, the light seemed to overshadow the colors of the sunset in the sky.
