The sudden, loud commotion inside the inn jolted the other guests from their sleep. Being travelers, they were all naturally on high alert.
"What's going on?"
"What was that noise!?"
"..."
The elites from the Garrison Commandant's Office that Chen Ping'an had brought with him were the quickest to react. The moment the sound rang out, they shot up from their beds and quickly began to assess the situation.
Two figures, one after the other, leaped down from above and landed in quick succession.
"Sir!"
One of the Garrison Commandant's Office elites recognized Chen Ping'an at a glance.
"Sir, be careful!"
A particularly daring elite from the Garrison Commandant's Office burst through a broken window, landing on the ground with a roll.
SHING! SHING! SHING!
One by one, sabers were drawn from their sheaths, their bright blades glinting in the moonlight.
Watching the figure attempt to flee, Chen Ping'an's eyes narrowed.
SWOOSH—
