It would be a lie to say that Yang Chen wasn't hurt.
He had diligently and loyally done so many things for the Donghuang Sect, earning countless merits, yet his accomplishments were worth less than the words of a mere troublemaker like Lin Tao?
He could understand Ye Xu's thoughts, but he still felt disheartened because Ye Xu didn't trust him.
However, after thinking it through, he just let it go.
After all, he was just a vassal of the Donghuang Sect and not actually a member of the sect, so there was no need, naturally, for Ye Xu to trust him.
"Do as you please, Sect Master Ye." Yang Chen stepped aside.
Ye Xu, still in doubt, came up behind Yang Chen to find that there weren't any Forbidden Demon Clan members communicating with him, only a single bead.
Looking at this bead, with Ye Xu's wisdom and intelligence, he easily deciphered the mystery within just one glance.
He realized that it had something to do with the soul, so he subconsciously probed his own soul into it.
