Looking at the Great Saint Mother returning overhead with full strength and an unfriendly demeanor, Wu Chang was not frightened but rather delighted.
They were in a cooperative relationship with the Great Saint Mother, temporarily companions, and if Wu Chang had been contemplating betrayal from the start, scheming against his teammates, wouldn't that make him seem despicable?
After all, she'd just praised him for being upright; backstabbing her immediately afterward would be quite embarrassing.
But since the Great Saint Mother also held back and chose to strike first, Wu Chang went from actively betraying to defensively justified self-defense, instantly relieving any psychological pressure.
With no psychological pressure, morally superior, he had no hesitations in taking action.
Wu Chang felt ecstatic inside but wore a dumbfounded expression on his face, asking:
"Great Saint Mother, what do you mean by this?"
