"Is it a bit late now to play innocent?"

Jiang Chen shot Liu Zhanguo a mocking smile, then turned to Jiang Yuqing and whispered, "Remember, whenever such people from hidden families come to you, they are looking to seize control of our family. From now on, simply refuse them directly!"

"Yes, I'll remember that!"

Jiang Yuqing's forehead was covered in cold sweat, feeling momentarily terrified.

He had thought that it would bring help to his family, but he hadn't expected such an outcome. If Jiang Chen hadn't returned, seeing the attitudes of Liu Zhanting and the others just now, he would have directly handed over the family!

"Head of the Jiang Family, you're being too serious. Our hidden families definitely return what we borrow!" Liu Zhanguo turned his head and forced a smile at Jiang Chen, surprised to find that not only did Jiang Chen possess the peak power of the Venerable Realm, but he also knew some underground rules of hidden families.

"Is that so?"

Leng Ming stood up, looking at Liu Zhanguo with sarcasm, "I couldn't remember who you were just now, but now I do recall. Didn't your Liu Family take over a martial dao family in the Secular World last time and not leave until you had exploited all their resources and finances? Ha, your Liu Family's shamelessness is indeed well-known throughout the Martial Dao World!"

"Oh! So it's that notorious Liu Family!"

Li Tianchong also realized, finally recalling where he had heard the name Liu Zhanting before, and stared straight into his eyes, speaking in a deep voice, "That incident back then was orchestrated by you, wasn't it?"

"I... senior, you must be mistaken, how could it have been me? That was so long ago, and I was so young!" Liu Zhanting no longer maintained his tough demeanor, responding with an awkward smile.

"Is that so?"

The corners of Li Tianchong's mouth turned up, an icy expression flashing across his eyes, as he was about to speak.

Suddenly, Liu Wanjiang's loud voice erupted, "So what if it's our family? It seems you're also people from hidden families, right? I'm telling you, our Liu Family is affiliated with the prime family, the Huangluo Clan. Dare to touch us? You don't want to live anymore?"

"Yes, we are a family affiliated with the Huangluo Clan. Dare to touch us?"

Liu Tingwen stepped forward to Leng Ming, pointing at his chest, "Kid, weren't you acting all arrogant just now? Eh? Try touching me; I'll have the Huangluo Clan annihilate your whole family!"

Slap!

Leng Ming's face suddenly darkened as he grabbed Liu Tingwen's hand, his eyes icy cold, "Kid? You dare address me like that? You're really brave!"

Buzz!

The aura of a Semi Venerable Venerable Realm suddenly erupted, and Leng Ming tightly clenched Liu Tingwen's hand.

Crack!

"Ah!"

A sound of bones cracking rang out, and Liu Tingwen's face instantly turned pale as he cried out in pain.

"Bastards! You dare to strike? The Huangluo Clan won't let you go..." Liu Wanjiang's face changed as he bellowed angrily.

"Scoundrels!" Li Tianchong shouted furiously, raising his hand and reaching through the air toward Liu Wanjiang.

Buzz!

An ethereal hand, composed of purple streams of air, appeared in the midair, seizing Liu Wanjiang and lifting him up.

"Uh… uh… let me go! You… dare to strike… the Huangluo..."

Liu Wanjiang's face turned beet red, his expression filled with extreme panic, yet he still stubbornly insisted the Huangluo Clan would avenge them!

"Wanjiang, shut up!"

Seeing the Inner Qi Palm manifested by Li Tianchong, Liu Zhanting's complexion changed as he quickly scolded Liu Wanjiang, his face turning ashen as he bowed deeply to Li Tianchong, "I don't know which senior of the Huangluo Clan you are, we have committed many offenses, please forgive us!"

"What?"

"He's from the Huangluo Clan!?"

"He's a Venerable from the Huangluo Clan!?"

"Huangluo Clan…"

Several people from the Liu Family and the Jiang Family exclaimed in disbelief, staring at Li Tianchong!

The First and Second Elders exchanged glances. They had never imagined that the person Jiang Chen brought back this time was a Venerable Realm powerhouse from the Huangluo Clan!

The faces of several people from the Liu Family turned extremely pale, devoid of any blood color!

"Mr. Jiang, are there any taboos here? Can blood be shed?" Li Tianchong turned his head to look at Jiang Chen and asked expressionlessly.

Several people from the Liu Family trembled all over, their figures shrinking simultaneously.

Thump! Thump!

Liu Zhanting and the other three knelt on the ground, even Liu Tingwen, who was being held by Leng Ming, also raised his hands and knelt!

"Elder, we were wrong! Please spare us!"

"Elder, we really made a mistake, we won't dare to do it again!"

"Head of the Jiang Family, please let us go, we won't dare to disturb your family again!"

"Please spare us, we beg you to forgive us!"

Liu Zhanting and the others cried out loudly.

The First Elder and the others were dumbfounded. Mighty Venerable Realm experts, who were usually revered and admired, were now kneeling and begging for mercy without putting up any resistance, which completely overturned their worldview. Even though they were just one step away from that status, they still held the Venerable Realm in awe.

However, the behavior of Liu Zhanting and the others today made them suddenly feel that the Venerable Realm wasn't so lofty after all!

Hearing this, Jiang Chen gave a slight smile, "My only taboo here, is that those who cause trouble can't leave without dying!"

Li Tianchong was slightly stunned, understanding Jiang Chen's intent instantly, and smile briefly. He turned his head to look at Liu Zhanting and the others, his eyes instantly turning as icy as the frost of midwinter.

"The incident back then, you carried out under the name of the Huangluo Clan. After that incident, the Huangluo Clan was despised by the entire Martial Dao World. His Majesty ordered me to lead a team to investigate, but unexpectedly, you had escaped overseas!"

Li Tianchong's body emitted an intense murderous intent, "Now, you've fallen into my hands again. Do you think I would let you go?"

"You, you're not from the Huangluo Clan, you're the grandson of Li Jiang, the former commander of the imperial guards, Li Tianchong?" Liu Zhanting asked in shock. "You, you were supposed to be dead. Aren't you supposed to have died a year ago?"

Li Tianchong frowned, asking sternly, "How did you know I was dead?"

Liu Zhanting suddenly stiffened, panic flashing in his eyes, and he lowered his head, no longer daring to meet Li Tianchong's eyes.

A flash of insight struck Jiang Chen, and he shouted sternly, "Do you really have connections with the Soul Devouring Group?!"

"What?!"

"Soul Devouring Group?"

"How is this possible? Has the Soul Devouring Group infiltrated the hidden clans?"

Everyone exclaimed, their faces filled with shock as they looked at Jiang Chen.

If the hidden clans were infiltrated by the Soul Devouring Group, then the entire Martial Dao World of the Flame Dragon would be in jeopardy.
