The Pheonix Palace was really quite strong so the guards who were in charge of protecting it were also quite powerful. On the other hand, the members of big families all had strong bodyguards with them. So the power balance between the two sides looked quite similar.
But it was not advantageous for the Phoenix Palace to completely fall out with all those large families as they were important sources of income for them. But giving up while getting provoked would hurt the prestige of the Palace so they could not give up so easily.
That was why the situation was getting more heated up. At that time a sudden clap sounded on the first floor. Su Yun was the person who made that clapping sound and it made everyone calm for some reason. Then Su Yun clicked his fingers and several flaming swords suddenly appeared out of nowhere and created a shallow mark on the throat of all the bodyguards of the large families.
