章節 1584: A Villain

"That's impossible! The Lord has an unfathomable cultivation! He could easily kill someone like Yuan!"

"Whatever his reason is, we cannot leave without any results. Our supervisors will eat us alive if we return emptyhanded."

"But what the hell are we supposed to do?"

After some time, they considered returning to the peak for another attempt to convince the Lord, but no one actually dared, fearing that the Lord would kill them for such audacity.

"Yeah. It's not like we can argue with the Lord."
