Chapter 21 : Don’t Call, Your Protector is Also Busy
“Boom!” Jiang Chen’s demeanor suddenly changed from calm and indifferent to a few shades of ruthlessness. A torrential aura burst out from within him, like an erupting volcano, continuous and boundless. Everyone around felt a strong oppressive force.
Soaring Snake God Son and Jintai Yuan trembled with fear as an undeniable sense of dread spread from their hearts, almost suffocating them. This oppressive feeling shook their souls, as if they were on the brink of life and death, spreading fear within them.
“Realm of Life and Death!” Soaring Snake God Son, no ordinary person, quickly overcame his fear, bearing Jiang Chen’s pressure with gritted teeth. His eyes were filled with cold light and boiling killing intent, covering the entire area.
Both he and Jintai Yuan were in the late stages of the True King Realm, not far from breaking through to the Realm of Life and Death. Normally, facing someone from the Realm of Life and Death wouldn’t exert such immense pressure.
However, this time, facing Jiang Chen, they felt an overwhelming force, reminding them of the time they faced great masters or even those in the Saint Realm. This disparity left a deep impression!
Soaring Snake’s God Son was puzzled. Despite being just a realm apart, the gap between them seemed too vast. Even with a difference in realms, he thought he could at least exchange a few blows. It shouldn’t be , completely suppressed without a chance to react.
Compared to him, Jintai Yuan was far worse off. Completely suppressed, he knelt on the ground, unable to move, just staring at Jiang Chen.
“I don’t quite like beasts kneeling before me!” Jiang Chen said with a smile. “You better stand up!” He had never been fond of those arrogant and self-important people.
However, he was not someone who meddled in others’ affairs, unless they provoked him. These two were exceptions; they had crossed the line and needed to be taught a lesson.
At his words, Jintai Yuan and Soaring Snake God Son were filled with murderous intent and resentment, their hatred almost materializing. They felt utterly humiliated, wishing to stand up and tear Jiang Chen to pieces. Jiang Chen had completely trampled on them, thoroughly humiliating them. If they couldn’t kill Jiang Chen, their hatred would never be appeased.
“No, killing him isn’t enough; He must be tortured ruthlessly, making him wish for death!” they thought.
“‘Why aren’t you taking action yet!” Soaring Snake God Son roared furiously. How come his protector hadn’t noticed that he was being humiliated and was still observing? Was he seeking death?
Today’s humiliation wasn’t just his alone; it extended to the entire Soaring Snake clan. As the Soaring Snake God Son, he represented the face of the Soaring Snake clan. However, no matter how much he called out, there was no response.
“Are you looking for your protector?” Jiang Chen said with a chuckle. “Unfortunately, he’s currently too busy to care about you.”
Everyone has protectors, but Jiang Chen’s status in the Primordial Holy Land was extraordinary. Apart from being a disciple of the Holy Master, his talent was monstrous, making him the most monstrous disciple in the Primordial Holy Land for tens of thousands of years.
Due to his unique talent, he naturally received great attention from the Primordial Holy Land. Thus, Jiang Chen’s protector was also extraordinary.
A Great Saint as a protector! This was unprecedented. Great Saints, being absolute combatants and pillars of any force, would not easily take action, let alone become protectors. But Jiang Chen was an exception, protected personally by a Great Saint.
This showed how much the Primordial Holy Land valued him. It can be said that the Primordial Holy Land had almost placed all its hopes on Jiang Chen, hoping that he would break the limit and become an emperor-like existence.
Thinking about all these, Jiang Chen’s heart was complicated. If the original Jiang Chen in the novel hadn’t been obsessed with love and infatuated with Ye Qingcheng, he really had a chance to compete for the title of emperor.
When they heard that Soaring Snake God Son’s protector had also been suppressed, the surrounding area was in an uproar. Eyes showed shock. Soaring Snake God Son, being a designated successor of an ancient imperial family, had a protector who was an exceptional top fighter in the Nine Heavens Realm.
Yet such a formidable protector was suppressed without a trace, unnoticed by anyone. To achieve this, the opponent’s strength must have reached a level that Soaring Snake God Son’s protector couldn’t surpass or cross. This indicated a huge gap between them.
“Who exactly is this person?”
“Soaring Snake God Son is being crushed in every aspect. There are only a handful of forces that can achieve this, and they are also human.”
“Could it be the Ye Family’s Holy Son? It’s said that the Ye Family’s Holy Son has heavenly talent, the strongest in the Ye Family for a hundred thousand years, with the demeanor of an emperor. The entire Ye Family places high hopes on him; perhaps he could do it”
“Or it could be the Crown Prince of the Great Qin Dynasty, who has the same talent as the ancestral dragon of the Great Qin and is known as Qin the Second.”
“Have you all forgotten about the Primordial Holy Son?”
“Damn, you’re right, I almost forgot. The Primordial Holy Son rarely appears, but his talent is rare even among his peers!”
“The Ye Family’s Holy Son has been hidden for many years, never appearing in public, and no one knows his face or character. Qin the Second has been in seclusion for many years, obviously not him, so it might be the Primordial Holy Son!”
“If it really is him, then Soaring Snake God Son has kicked an iron plate. He could provoke anyone, yet he provoked the Primordial Holy Son?’”
Jiang Chen’s identity was not hard to guess. There are too few people who can crush Soaring Snake God Son in every aspect. You could count them on one hand, and being a specific human race made it even easier to guess.
At this moment, an old man with white hair slowly stepped forward and bowed to Jiang Chen, saying, “Primordial Holy Son, I am Huang Shanhe, the person in charge of the Divine Stone Pavilion. I wonder if the Primordial Holy Son could give this old man some face and spare these two for the time being.”
“‘Of course, I am not backing them up. The auction is about to start, and it’s not good to continue. If the Primordial Holy Son is willing to end it here, among the nine divine stones you and Fairy Yan could choose one for each of you!” Huang Shanhe looked anxiously at Jiang Chen.
Although the power behind the Divine Stone Pavilion was not simple, it ultimately couldn’t be compared with Jiang Chen and the others. If something happened to them in the Divine Stone Pavilion, it would bring a lot of trouble to the Pavilion. As the person in charge, he would also be to blame.

“Letting them go is not impossible! Let that little snake apologize!” Jiang Chen said gently and indifferently.
“Ah, this…” Huang Shanhai’s expression stiffened. Asking Soaring Snake God Son to apologize was even more difficult than killing him.
These peerless geniuses have sky-high ambitions and are intractable. Making them submit is as difficult as reaching the heavens. Especially under these circumstances, even if it meant death, Soaring Snake God Son would not agree.
“Impossible!” Soaring Snake God Son immediately refused, looking at Jiang Chen with hatred and said coldly, “I would rather die than apologize!”
If he apologized, how could he save face? Wherever he goes in the future, people would mock him for this matter. Mockery was the lesser of two evils. If he really apologized, it would mean submitting to the other party. This would become his inner demon and cloud his Taoist heart. For peerless geniuses who seek an invincible path, this was absolutely unacceptable.
“‘Dog man, you’re quite protective!’ Yan Ruyu blinked, her beautiful eyes gazing at Jiang Chen, and her mouth couldn’t help but curl into a smile. The feeling of someone shielding her from the wind and rain was really good! It wasn’t in vain that she had been fond of him for so long!”
