Haitin smiled at first. Then his expression turned serious.
"I have no intention of causing trouble, senior. My presence here is purely coincidental. We still acknowledge our treaty with Haan Di. This is the reason I came out to greet you."
The atmosphere was tense as Ren Greenleaf turned his cold gaze towards Haitin Blackblood. The elder's expression was unreadable, but the weight behind his words was unmistakable.
"Oh really? If you acknowledge the treaty with Haan Di, why did you attack the cultivators from Rai City who entered the Wild Devil Lands through legal routes? Don't play games with me, brat. If you don't give me a good reason for the unprovoked attack, I might have to deal with you using a heavy-handed approach."
As he spoke, Ren's cultivation base surged, the full power of a 6th-stage Foundation Building Expert now on full display.
