The Blood Emperor's Challenge!

After their discussion, Yang Wei returned to Grand Elder Peak, this time with Sun Yurong. Their destination was the Blood Demon Clan's territory. When they arrived, the first person to see them was Patriarch Bloodflame, who had been keeping his divine senses sharp to know when Yang Wei would return.

"Grand Elder, you've returned!" Bloodflame immediately lowered his head to pay his respects to Yang Wei.

Sun Yurong noticed how eager Bloodflame was to serve and then looked at Yang Wei, already wondering what sort of tricks he had used to make Bloodflame this submissive.

Yang Wei raised both his hands a bit to show he certainly hadn't done any such thing.

....Hmm

Sun Yurong hummed contemplatively, not entirely convinced by what Yang Wei was trying to tell her. Nevertheless, she shifted her gaze forward, though she couldn't help occasionally giving him a suspecting side-eye.
