Ordinarily, any family clan could send bodyguards to protect their young masters and young mistresses, but they were not the best martial artists in the clan.
Unless a Clan Head was retarded, he would realize that all their best martial artists would have their own pride. Why would they agree to follow a bunch of young children around all day? Thus, these four formidable martial artists were not considered that powerful. That explained why… the moment the six-colored Merged Flames appeared, they became part of a tragedy.
The moment the flames appeared, the four of them felt its prowess. At that moment, all of them were sure that if they did not escape at once, they would be burned alive. Even if they managed to escape, they were not sure that they would be able to keep their lives. Thus, they reacted in the same way as Heavenly King You did back then: they were in conflict.
