"Thank you, noble heroes, for extending your hands in help. Please accept an old man's bow."
For the first time in many days, they had successfully repelled a master of the Devil Path. The whole of Sword Evaluation Elegant Mountain was filled with a gratifying sense of pride and relief. The Grand Elder, stepping forward first, bowed deeply to everyone.
"Please, Grand Elder, you must not do this, rise quickly!"
"The Grand Elder is too polite."
"This is what we should do."
Heaven Realm Martial Emperors were one thing, but the arriving Earthly Realm Martial Emperors, Human Realm Martial Emperors, and even the numerous Divine Barrier Realm Martial Kings hardly dared to accept such a grand gesture from the Grand Elder.
After all, some were there to repay debts of gratitude, others were visiting Elders of Sword Evaluation Elegant Mountain, who usually enjoyed many benefits; they couldn't possibly stand by and do nothing, both emotionally and rationally.
