Chapter 179: Caught in a Siege

There was a look of joy on the man’s eye as he heard Jian Chen’s response. This phrase was something he had long since been expecting to hear. He had wanted Jian Chen to obediently follow them back to the Heiming clan, but this desire wasn’t shown on his face, “Come with us back to the Heiming clan immediately, otherwise, when all of the experts arrive by nightfall, even the Heiming clan will be powerless to help you.”

A nearly undetectable glint of ridicule flashed through Jian Chen’s eyes as he replied, “Could it be that if I were to come back with you to the Heiming clan, then the Heming clan would definitely save me? Did you not just say that there were many influential powers after me. Could it be that the Heiming clan is able to withstand the assault of attacks from every direction?”

The man laughed confidently, “Of course, while I admit that the powers after you are indeed strong and can almost compete on the same level as our Heiming clan, but don’t you forget that our Heiming clan is strong enough to be the local power of Phoenix City. Also, the Heiming clan has secretly joined with a few other clans, so if you agree to cooperate with us, then you will be safe from the other powers.”

“Oh, so it was like that?” Jian Chen nodded his head as if he had suddenly realized something.

“Come quickly with me then, the night is quickly approaching. Our men can only hold them off for a small moment, if we take too long, then the situation will become drastic.” Believing Jian Chen had already agreed to return to the Heiming clan, the man began to run off in a direction.

However before he could get too far, he immediately stopped and turned around to look at the non moving Jian Chen with furrowed eyebrows, “Why aren’t you moving.”

Jian Chen had some doubt on his face, “Where to?”

Hearing Jian Chen, the man felt fear in his heart as he realized this wouldn’t go as smoothly as he thought. “Where else? Of course we are going back to the Heiming clan, or did you want to die somewhere else?”

“But, I never said I would go with you.” Jian Chen spoke with no emotion.

The faces of every Heiming clan member changed abruptly as the head of the group also had a dark expression on his face as he stared at Jian Chen coldly, “Wu Yun, are you playing with us?”

Jian Chen laughed, “I’m not playing with you, did you hear me say that I would head back to the Heiming clan with you?”

The middle aged man let out a breath of air before taking in another deep breath as his glare turned malicious. Laughing angrily, he said, “Good. Very good. Wu Yun, you’ve refused to drink a cup in toast, so you will instead drink a cup in defeat, don’t blame us for being impolite!”

With that, the middle aged man charged at Jian Chen.
