The Wu family's guards hesitated a moment because Wu Zhiyuan had not ordered them to join in the attack on Mu Jinyu, but ultimately decided to follow the Young Master in the encirclement.
Throughout history, victors become kings, and the defeated are treated as bandits.
Though joining forces to attack Mu Jinyu would indeed damage the reputations of both Wu Family and Wu Zhiyuan, what does that matter? Time erases all stains eventually.
Who would remember, hundreds of years later, how exactly Mu Jinyu, the Dragon Head Leader, died by Wu Zhiyuan's hand?
People would only remember how Wu Zhiyuan slew Mu Jinyu and ascended to the peak of the Kunlun Ruins; they'd only recall the supreme fame of the Wu Family!
No one would care about these meaningless details; everyone would know that Mu Jinyu was just a remnant destroyed under the Wu Family's unrivaled prestige.
Unfortunately, because of their brief hesitation, they didn't immediately follow Wu Zhiyuan to join in killing Mu Jinyu.
