Chapter 785: Chapter 373: Take Advantage of the Situation Chapter 785: Chapter 373: Take Advantage of the Situation After bringing Liu Wentian in, Zhu Rujiu consciously walked out, taking care to close the door behind her.

Upon seeing Liu Wentian, Zheng Hongtao immediately began the introduction, saying, “Liu Wentian, this is Elder Jiang Binyu of the Jiang Family. He’s among the top five powerhouses of the Jiang Family, a charm later stage strongman. This–time, he wants to have a–talk with you.”

Zheng Hongtao placed special emphasis on Jiang Binyu’s strength because he wanted Liu Wentian to treat this matter cautiously.

After all, the Jiang Family had sent such a person over, clearly indicating the high importance they attached to this issue–a single misstep might lead to Liu Wentian truly becoming an archenemy of the Jiang Family.

By then, even if Blood Night really wanted to protect Liu Wentian, it would be useless.

In the end, if someone really wanted to assassinate him in secret, taking Liu Wentian down, without any evidence, they would be unable to hold the Jiang Family accountable!

Although Liu Wentian is currently ranked 97th on the Heavenly Cloud list, a standout in the King Martial mid stage, in front of the Jiang Family, this was still insignificant!!

The person they sent was a Charm Later Stage expert!!

However, what astonished Zheng Hongtao was that after hearing the introduction, Liu Wentian showed not a trace of panic. He simply nodded indifferently and looked straight at Jiang Binyu, saying, “What’s the matter? Just say it!!”

With a bitter smile in his heart, Zheng Hongtao felt Liu Wentian was truly as fearless as a calf not scared of tigers, leaving him at a loss for what to say.

Jiang Binyu saw that Liu Wentian, upon hearing his identity and strength, showed not the slightest reverence or tension on his face, which made him somewhat dissatisfied.

Even though Liu Wentian was not simple, as far as he knew, he was just a King Martial mid stage strongman. To be so dismissive upon seeing a Charm Later Stage like himself was truly a death wish!!

Regarding Liu Wentian’s background, they had already thoroughly investigated–a rural nobody who, before this year, showed nothing remarkable, at best having some connection with Qin Keqing of the Qin Family in Guangnan Province.

Yet, this year, mysteriously, he became an ancient martial strongman and moreover, a King Martial mid stage strongman–a height most ancient martial artists could not reach in their entire lives!!

Therefore, the Jiang Family concluded that Liu Wentian absolutely had some kind of secret, and a big one at that!!

They made up their minds to get their hands on it, the only trouble being that this chap happened to be one of Blood Night’s people.

Jiang Binyu snorted coldly and decided to give Liu Wentian a lesson in humility. He directly scolded sternly, “Liu Wentian, do you know your crimes?”

“Pfft!!” At these words, Liu Wentian just burst out laughing. The corner of his mouth curved up as he gave the other man a look reserved for idiots, saying, “Have you been watching too many period dramas? What’s with the ‘do you know your crimes?’ Which era are you living in?”

Jiang Binyu’s face froze, then anger followed as he said, “Cut the crap. The last time our Jiang Family’s elder, Jiang Pengzhong, and the Young Miss, Jiang Cailing, went to the Sheng Family, they kindly invited you to join our Jiang Family. It’s one thing if you refuse, but to go so far as to injure our people, how should we settle this account?”

“How do you want to settle it?” This guy was obviously distorting the truth, but Liu Wentian didn’t bother to explain, instead responding with a counter-question.

“Hmph! Simple!”

Greed flashed through Jiang Binyu’s eyes, and at the same time, he felt a bit smug. It seemed the youngster was intimidated by his strength and was considering submission!!

He stated flatly, “As far as I know, until this year you were just an ordinary person, yet now you have become a King Martial strongman. I want you to tell me, why is that? What did you acquire to ascend to becoming a King Martial strongman so quickly?”

Having said this, his eyes were fixed intently on Liu Wentian.

Zheng Hongtao’s expression turned ugly; he hadn’t expected the other party to ask such a question.

They were naturally aware of Liu Wentian’s background. For Liu Wentian to have become so powerful, he must have had some encounters. But Blood Night respected each individual’s privacy and would not pry into these matters.

For Jiang Binyu to demand that Liu Wentian answer this question was essentially to force Liu Wentian to lay all his cards on the table for the other party to see, which was somewhat strong-arming.

However, by pressing such questions, the Jiang Family undeniably showed their covetousness. If Liu Wentian refused to respond, they likely wouldn’t just let it go.

Upon hearing the other’s words, Liu Wentian’s eyes revealed a killing intent. The reason he had grown so powerful so quickly was the legacy of Sheng Tianzhan.

And how could he possibly reveal this to others.

A man without guilt can hold a gem with impunity, but if the truth was uncovered by others, not to mention the Jiang Family, even the Zhu Family, known as the first noble family of Huaxia, along with several hidden powerhouses, would be tempted!!

He scoffed, “If I told you why I became a King Martial strongman, and it involved some cultivation technique or treasure, do I also need to hand over these valuable items to you?”

“Exactly!!”

Jiang Binyu, not bothering to hide, coldly stated, “This is your chance to make amends for your past offense. Otherwise, for your previous affront, my Jiang Family will not let it go so easily!! Don’t think that with your King Martial mid stage strength, and Blood Night’s protection, my Jiang Family can’t do anything to you!! We can crush you easily, and besides, it’s not just about you–you have your woman, your parents!!”

The threat in his words was clear for anyone to hear!!

Zheng Hongtao’s brow furrowed. Jiang Binyu dared to threaten Liu Wentian in Blood Night’s base, completely disregarding Blood Night!!

Unfortunately, he was merely a Postnatal Peak existence and had no way to confront the other party.

In reality, many times, Blood Night, when facing these ancient martial arts families with hundreds of years of heritage, felt somewhat powerless; the families’ deep roots and steady stream of strong individuals truly did not fear Blood Night.
