The moment Elder Fu and the white-haired elder noticed the arrival of the Imperial Guards, their eyes immediately lit up.
They hurriedly stepped forward.
"Captain!"
Elder Fu cupped his fists with an aggrieved expression.
"We came to the Desolate Heaven Empire as honored guests to attend His Majesty's coronation. Yet this is how your empire treats its guests?"
The white-haired elder also spoke indignantly,
"Your Empire personally invited us. Instead of protecting your guests, you've allowed us to be humiliated in broad daylight."
"If word of this spreads... what will the various empires think of the Desolate Heaven Empire?"
The Captain's expression became even uglier.
Regardless of who was right or wrong, these people were still foreign delegations officially invited by the Imperial Court.
Allowing them to be beaten into this state would undoubtedly damage the empire's reputation.
Suppressing the frustration in his heart, the Captain turned toward Bai Zihan.
