The Round-Faced Cultivator hurriedly bowed as well, all color draining from his face. "Spare us, Devil Lord! We had eyes but failed to see just now and disturbed your secluded cultivation."
Those two cries of "Spare us, Devil Lord" left Qing Chen momentarily stunned.
Somewhat bewildered, he waved a hand. "Why panic? I merely have a few questions."
The three did not relax at that.
The Azure Robe Elder in particular kept the corner of his eye fixed on Qing Chen's right hand, which held the halberd, afraid that if he left out a single word, a terrifying streak of halberd light would fall on his head the next instant.
