Everything happened too suddenly. Who could have imagined that Wu Tian would so decisively execute the Regent King?
The Royal Palace guards now surrounded Wu Tian, intending to arrest him for his crime. The man who died was the Regent King, not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry. Even if King Xiuyuan himself wished for the Regent King's death, he would still have to publicly demand justice for the Regent's demise.
"Stop!" City Lord Guang roared, seeing the Royal Palace guards about to seize Wu Tian. The guards froze, looking conflicted.
"City Lord Guang," the lead guard said, "your ancestor rendered a great service to the Xiuyuan Country. The king of that generation decreed that your ancestor and his descendants would be absolved of all crimes, save for rebellion! So, if *you* had killed the Regent King, it would be no issue. But the one who did it was *him*. He… surely he isn't a member of the Guang Family, is he?"
