As everyone rose for the ceremonial greeting, their attention was immediately captured by the Divine Jade in An Yuheng's hand, some of whom lacked the willpower to look away.
However, the Son of Yuheng seemed to have no intention of putting away the jewel and merely swayed his wrist gently, a sinister smile playing on his lips.
After a few moments of silence, the Celestial Official, standing with his hands behind his back by the colonnades, signaled the Divine Guards, who then entered the hall and grabbed the arms of the still dazed guests.
The moment they were touched, these people finally snapped back to reality, and seeing the Divine Guards gripping their arms, they all angrily raised their invitation cards and shouted, "Who are you, let go at once, I am a guest invited by the Son of Yuheng!"
"Not anymore."
After the armored guard's muffled response, he threw everyone out of the Yaochi Temple.
"That's more like it."
