Bu Yao was only momentarily stunned before slipping right into character.
"Le Xiaoyao, don't think I won't recognize you just because you've changed your skin."
"I'm telling you, Bu Yao and you, Le Xiaoyao, have a blood feud that can never be settled."
"I was able to kill you back then, and I can still kill you now. I'm not afraid of you!"
The five men were even more stunned to see Bu Yao. After all, they had seen the man who had hunted down their master back then.
Moreover, Bu Yao had once stood at the very summit of the Immortal Ancient Domain. How could they not know of him?
What they didn't know was that Bu Yao had been reduced to a mere soul and was now following Chen Changan.
"Impudent!"
"How dare you!"
"You're nothing but a soul now, and you still dare to speak disrespectfully to our master?"
"I think you don't even want to keep that soul of yours!"
With that, the men were about to teach Bu Yao a lesson and scatter his soul to the winds.
Bu Yao's expression changed. Damn it, we're all acting, so why am I the only one risking my life for my part?
"Stop!"
"Did I tell you to attack?"
Chen Changan's sharp shout frightened the five men into stopping at once. They looked at him, bewildered.
"Master, why?"
"If it weren't for them, how would you have ended up in such a state?"
"That's right. We disciples were powerless to help you back then. Now we'll surely avenge you."
"Master, since you've already caught him, why keep his soul around?"
Seeing their confused expressions, Chen Changan sneered. "Wouldn't it be letting him off easy to kill him just like that?"
"I have my uses for his soul."
