Surprise tinged with doubt was the unintentional expression in Black Tiger's gaze as he scrutinized Zhener, looking her up and down thoroughly.
None from the Shudao Mountain group were paying attention to him. Even within the Extreme Fire Sect, Black Tiger had always maintained a low-key presence. For this Divine Fire Covenant, the Extreme Fire Sect had deliberately downplayed Black Tiger's existence. Even most of the fellow sect members attending the event only realized the strength of Black Tiger's methods after witnessing them, which explained why the sect did not hesitate to bring out its treasured resources to boost their presence at the meeting.
Thus, the people from Shudao Mountain were all focused on Yin Tianlu, treating Black Tiger as nothing more than an attendant or assistant—not worth serious consideration.
