Niu Ben and Xiong Yingxiong dare not disobey their master's words, so when Ghost Hand concluded his speech, they calmed down and decided to follow Ghost Hand willingly and ignore Old Taoist Wu.
Wu De, full of rage at Niu Ben and Xiong Yingxiong's lack of resistance, stomped his feet and said, "Where's your courage? Are you retreating just because of one word from Ghost Hand?"
He then turned to Ghost Hand and said, "No matter what, we must fight this time! It would be humiliating to return empty-handed after failing to seize the Divine Crystal Vein!"
Ghost Hand spread his hands and said, "Several masters have already said that if things aren't meant to be, we needn't force it. Our safety is the most important... Old Taoist Wu, you're different from us. You can ignore our masters' words, but we dare not do so, or when the master returns, we'll be in deep trouble! Don't get us into trouble!"
Niu Ben and Xiong Yingxiong nodded in agreement.
