The old man had been targeting them all along.
Mu Fusheng couldn't guarantee that the old man wouldn't try some dirty tricks to make things difficult for them later.
Thus, he leveraged Kuang Lei's current emotions to block the old man's harmful intentions.
Of course...
The biggest reason was that Mu Fusheng wanted to retaliate after the old man's actions had disgusted them earlier.
And sure enough.
The old man was originally just a remnant soul in a phantom form, clearly just a transparent figure. Yet now his face was pitch black, as if his phantom's head had been filled with ink...
After the old man swore his Heavenly Dao oath begrudgingly, Kuang Lei turned to Mu Fusheng and asked, "Now, can we start?"
Mu Fusheng nodded, "Naturally."
As those words fell...
Kuang Lei disappeared from where he had been standing in an instant, leaving behind only a swirling surge of thunder and lightning at his prior position.
