As soon as the disciples heard that the dogs had been set loose by him, a mixture of anger and panic surged within them.
The teeth of the dogs grazed against their necks, sending shivers down their spines. On the verge of tears, they cast aside any concerns for their dignity. “Ancestor, please forgive us! We were merely passing by. Please, take control of these dogs quickly!”

Pei Jing: “Passing by? Do you even know what you’ve done? Don’t you like hearing dogs barking? I’ll let you listen to your hearts’ content.”
Consequently, several aggressive dogs started barking loudly.
The disciples hesitated for a moment, immediately regretting their actions. They should have anticipated that Ji Wuyou’s success in entering Shangyang Peak relied on his connections. However, they were deceived by his foolish demeanor and completely overlooked this fact.
It was now too late, and they were consumed by deep regret, bowing their heads in remorse at that very spot.
“We dare not, we dare not! We don’t like listening to dogs bark. Ancestor, please spare us!”
“We were only teasing Ji Wuyou. Look, he’s also laughing happily.”
Pei Jing chuckled, “I can see that you all are quite happy.”
This time, the group couldn’t even cry.
Pei Jing didn’t intend to go to extremes. After all, Ji Wuyou genuinely felt lonely and wanted to be friends with these people. Pei Jing wanted them to treat Ji Wuyou kindly, as their influence on that simple-minded person seemed promising.
“I can spare you, but you must promise me one thing.”
The crowd dared not refuse, overwhelmed with joy, nodding their heads.
“Please, go ahead. We’ll even face mountains of knives and seas of fire for you.”
Pei Jing sneered, “With your guts to call a dog ‘Grandpa,’ you think you have the courage for mountains of knives and seas of fire?” After a moment of contemplation, he continued, “Ji Wuyou is an old acquaintance of mine. I don’t want to harm you today because that boy considers you his friends. I don’t want to make him sad. He is still immature, and I can’t always be there to protect him from being bullied. So, if you wish to leave tonight, promise me that you will serve him as your Ancestor in the future. Do you understand?”
The group felt bitter in their hearts.
If they had known that Ji Wuyou had such a formidable figure supporting him, they wouldn’t have said a single word to him.
Pei Jing raised an eyebrow and smiled, “You won’t agree?”
The dogs barked two more times.
Everyone: “We promise, we promise!”
Pei Jing smiled in satisfaction. “Alright then. I’ll come back to check on you in a while. If any of you dare to deceive me…” The rest of his words hid behind his smile.
As he looked at the people kneeling on the ground, their heads tingled with fear. They weakly smiled and said, “We dare not, we dare not.”
Pei Jing cast a compassionate glance at them. This group of people probably didn’t know that he was saving them. Right now, they were merely frightened by the dogs. But when Ji Wuyou awakened and turned dark, they would truly be left in tatters, completely tortured.
