"Tell me, what's your situation? Why were you hiding in the monastery's servant quarters?"
Lu Yang walked back and forth in front of the three soul forms, his hands behind his back. Though Lu Yang was only at the mid-stage of Spirit Transformation and wasn't especially senior, the three soul forms still trembled before him, not daring to conceal a thing.
