What was going on?

What had suddenly happened to make Pi Gu Sa Si react like this?

Instead,

the guards he had brought not only failed to step forward and arrest Zhou Ming, but turned around and aimed their weapons at him.

The senior elders in the hall also rose to their feet in unison, glaring at Pi Gu Sa Si with exceedingly hostile expressions.

Some even pointed at him and loudly rebuked him:

"Pi Gu Sa Si, you evil, stupid bastard! For the sake of fulfilling your shameless ambitions, you actually wanted to bring down the guild. You deserve to die!"

"Pi Gu Sa Si, it is time to wake up from your sweet dream. Your end has come as well!"

"Pi Gu Sa Si, did you really think we would support an ambitious man like you? Dream on! It was all just a show put on for you, you self-righteous fool!"

"Pi Gu Sa Si, surely you did not take it seriously? You did not truly think everyone supported you and that you would rule this world, did you? Now then, tell me—have you woken up from your dream?"

Hearing those mocking, contemptuous words,

Pi Gu Sa Si was startled and staggered back several steps.

Pointing at the senior elders on the steps, he said in disbelief, "You... you... you damned bastards! You actually dare betray me?"

"Betrayal? What betrayal? Clearly, you are the one who betrayed the guild and wanted to destroy this vast foundation. Anyone would stop your foolishness!"

An elder immediately refuted him.

Pi Gu Sa Si roared and activated a spell, intending to kill the elder who had once been the most enthusiastic in privately swearing loyalty to him.

However,

he immediately found himself unable to shout any longer,
