An icy glint shot from Yi Chen's eyes.
At those words, the five of them looked even grimmer.
"W-we were only following orders!"
One man said shakily, "Yi Chen, as long as you spare us, I promise we won't trouble you again, and we'll let this secret rot in our bellies!"
"Oh? You think I'd believe your lies?"
Yi Chen sneered, his gaze growing colder still.
"I know you don't believe us, but you can kill us-and then you won't escape the blame either!"
One man suddenly spoke through gritted teeth.
His words immediately plunged Yi Chen into silence.
He truly had no way to kill them.
After all, all five were Pseudo-God experts. If Yi Chen acted rashly, their retaliation would surely strike him!
"Yi Chen, we're willing to acknowledge you as our master! We only ask that you spare our lives!"
Another man hurriedly added, "We're willing to follow you and serve you!"
All five were Pseudo-God-level beings. To them, following Yi Chen would be like giving a tiger wings!
After a moment's consideration, Yi Chen said, "Very well. Since that's the case, I'll reluctantly agree to your request."
At those words, delight immediately appeared on their faces.
As long as they followed this mysterious young man, they would be able to avenge themselves and wash away their humiliation!
When that time came, no matter how powerful the forces behind them were, those forces would never be able to settle the score with Yi Chen!
"My name is Yi Chen. Remember, from this day forward, I am your master. My commands are holy decrees!"
Yi Chen's indifferent voice rang out, making the four of them shudder violently.
Though deeply unwilling, they dared not defy him.
They drew deep breaths and answered in unison, "Yes, Master."
Yi Chen nodded.
