Seeing the Captain fall, all the assassins' eyes widened in shock.
They knew the strength of the Captain; had the Captain been slain by an extremely terrifying master, they would not have been as astounded as they were now.
Now, the one who had killed the Captain was just a young man, albeit one who was releasing a yellow Martial Soul above his head, yet his cultivation was merely at the Innate First Level.
Logically speaking, the Captain's strength should have been much greater than that of this demonic young man.
Thus, the sight of the Captain being pierced through had completely overturned their understanding.
At that moment, Duan Gujin swiftly retreated to a spot behind where many guards stood.
The real threat to Meng Yun had been the Captain, and now that he was eliminated, her crisis was resolved.
Seeing Duan Gujin exerting his full force to kill the Captain, Seventh Imperial Uncle knew he did it to save Meng Yun.
