Huang Xiao had not expected the newcomer to be Ren Dongju of the Wood Demon Sect.
Ren Dongju's status clearly far surpassed that of Wang Renyu and the other two present. There was no question of that.
Most of the Wood Demon Sect's affairs were now handled by Ren Dongju, giving him authority far beyond that of the sect's Grand Elders.
Even Wang Renyu, whose status was the highest among the three, fell short compared with the Grand Elders of the other Five Great Demon Sects.
Thus, when the three saw Ren Dongju approach, they could only bow respectfully.
"Senior Ren, what brings you here, then?" Wang Renyu asked.
The instant he asked the question, Wang Renyu's heart clenched.
Ren Dongju fixed him with a look, but soon turned his gaze away.
Wang Renyu realized his heart was pounding. That single glance had shaken him to his core. It was terrifying.
Zhuang Chen and Gao Yin rather admired Wang Renyu's nerve. Did that question even need asking?
Would Ren Dongju have come here for no reason?
Did he think these important figures had so much time on their hands?
Neither of them would have dared ask.
Indeed, only Wang Renyu here had the standing to speak up. After all, he belonged to the Demon God Sect.
Even if he offended Ren Dongju slightly, Ren Dongju might teach him a lesson, but would not go so far as to take his life.
Had it been either of them, they really might have lost their old lives here.
"Senior Kui Yong had close ties with our Wood Demon Sect," Ren Dongju said mildly.
"Understood." Wang Renyu drew a deep breath. "Since you have spoken, Senior Ren, we shall take our leave."
Ren Dongju had done nothing to him, not even rebuked him.
