Qin Shujian glanced at the two of them and offered no rebuttal.
To be fair.
As incarnations of the Lunar Star and the solar rule, the two truly ranked among the greatest powers in the Great Thousand World. Unless someone at the Dao Fruit level intervened, few at the half-step Dao Fruit stage could contend with them one-on-one.
