As soon as Han Xin spoke, the expressions of several Demon Clan members behind the red-faced middle-aged man slightly softened. However, their gaze toward Liu Ming and his companion still carried a hint of vigilance.
The red-faced middle-aged man glanced briefly at Qian Rupin, then shifted his attention to Liu Ming. After a quick probe with his spiritual sense, his expression immediately changed.
"So it turns out to be Taoist Friend Liu. I am Han Ye, the chieftain of the Sunset Tribe. Many thanks for saving my son's life. Please, step into the grand hall so we may talk." Liu Ming's aura remained elusive, but the red-faced middle-aged man instantly recognized that Liu Ming must be a True Core cultivator, far surpassing his own cultivation. He promptly gestured in invitation.
"Chieftain, there's no need to be so courteous." Liu Ming nodded, calmly leading Qian Rupin into the grand hall.
