A few people in the surroundings immediately gained some understanding of Jianchen after hearing that. Their gazes toward Jianchen all changed.
"I never thought that Changyang Shōten would actually be someone like that. He doesn't even respect his seniors …"
"Not only does he not respect his seniors, he even dares to chase away the esteemed great elder Jueri. His crime is unforgivable …"
"I really don't understand. How can someone like him who doesn't respect his seniors enter our protector clan, and why would several great elders personally welcome him and even use the Bell of Prime Clarity to ring nine times …"
"In my opinion, Changyang Shōten probably has someone powerful supporting him from behind, which is why he's so unruly. When the Bell of Prime Clarity rang nine times, I think the person who came to welcome him wasn't Changyang Shōten, but someone else …"
Low discussions rang out in the surroundings. After hearing the middle-aged woman's description of Jianchen, the members of the inner clan who did not know the truth all pointed at Jianchen. They acted like they did not welcome Jianchen at all. There were even a few people who looked at Jianchen with hostility.
Changyang Zu Yeyun almost exploded from anger when she heard the discussions directed at Jianchen. She yelled out, "Everyone shut up! Not only is Changyang Shōten the most outstanding genius in the history of our Changyang Prefecture, he's also an esteemed guest of our Changyang Prefecture. How can you criticize a guest who can make the Bell of Prime Clarity ring nine times so casually?"
"Yeyun, I know that Changyang Shōten is the descendant of your son, Yunkong, which is why you're so protective of him. I'll tell you the truth. If Changyang Shōten, who doesn't respect his seniors, wants to stay in our protector clan, I'll be the first to object," the middle-aged woman coldly said. The beautiful middle-aged woman said coldly. Then, she seemed to have thought of something. She sighed softly and said, "I don't know if the respected Grand Elders are muddle-headed today. They actually made the Shang Qing Bell ring nine times in a row to welcome a junior who has no respect for his elders and even dared to ask the Grand Elders to leave."
Changyang Zu Yeyun trembled from anger. Her face was frosty as she glared at Changyang Qing Lengshuang. She coldly said, "Lengshuang, strength is everything on the Tian Yuan Continent. Changyang Shōten has the ability to chase away anyone from the protector clan. As for the Shangqing sect, Xiangtian should be treated the same with his current abilities."
"Yeyun, don't talk to me about matters of the Tian Yuan Continent. Open your eyes and look at where you are. This is the protector clan of Changyang Prefecture, not the Tian Yuan Continent," Changyang Qing Lengshuang sneered. Changyang Qing Lengshuang sneered. She thought inside, "Changyang Xiangtian, don't think that you can ride over us seniors just because you have some ability. I've already given you enough face back in Lore City, yet you're refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. You don't give us any face at all.
Since that's the case, don't blame me for being rude. Hmph, I know you're very strong, but this is the protector clan. You can't act recklessly here. "
Jianchen calmly stood with his arms crossed. He stared at Changyang Qing Lengshuang emotionlessly and said, "Your name is Changyang Qing Lengshuang, right?" Jianchen's voice was rather cold, without any emotion at all.
However, without a doubt, his words became a deep provocation and contempt in Changyang Qing Lengshuang's ears. She immediately became furious and shrieked, "Changyang Shōten, you disrespectful junior. How dare you directly call me by my name? Are you looking down on all the seniors in the Changyang Prefecture?" Changyang Qing Lengshuang looked around at everyone. Her face was filled with anger as she continued, "Everyone, tell me. Just how many rules has Changyang Shōten broken …"
With that, Changyang Qing Lengshuang became surprised. At that moment, she felt the temperature around her rapidly drop, as if she had fallen into a cavern of ice. Her limbs immediately became cold, and in the next moment, she suddenly felt like she was suffocating. Jianchen's hand had already tightly gripped her neck, preventing her from breathing.
Changyang Qing Lengshuang's face rapidly paled. Unpleasant sounds rang out from her throat. She had lost the ability to speak as her neck was tightly gripped.
Changyang Qing Lengshuang was shocked. She stared at Jianchen with widened eyes. She refused to believe that Jianchen would be bold enough to do such a thing to her in the protector clan.
Jianchen tightly gripped Changyang Qing Lengshuang's neck with his right hand. The force from his fingers was so great that it seemed like he was about to snap her neck. He showed no mercy at all, "Changyang Qing Lengshuang, don't think that I can't do anything to you just because we're in the protector clan. I can still kill you here."
At that moment, the entire place fell silent. Everyone stared at Jianchen in a daze as disbelief filled their faces. None of them had thought that Jianchen would be so bold as to do something so disrespectful as a junior in front of everyone.
"Release aunt Lengshuang!" At this moment, the two young women beside Changyang Qing Lengshuang finally returned to their senses. They drew their Saint Weapons and stabbed toward Jianchen as hard as they could without any fear.
A gleam of light flashed through Jianchen's eyes. The surrounding space froze at that moment. He used the ability of Saint Rulers to freeze space to forcefully immobilize the two women.
"Bang!" In the next moment, the solidified space shook violently and suddenly shattered. The two young women who were imprisoned inside spat out a mouthful of blood as if they had suffered a heavy blow. Their bodies flew backward quickly and were caught by the two old men behind them.
The two old men were Saint Rulers. They quickly checked the identities of the two women and their faces immediately changed. They angrily stared at Jianchen and yelled, "How dare you, Changyang Shōten. How dare you recklessly injure people in our protector clan? Everyone, follow me and capture this arrogant bastard." The two old men charged toward Jianchen as they spoke. Powerful presences revolved around them as they showed no intentions of holding back at all.
Other than the two of them, a few other Saint Rulers in the crowd became furious as well. They all charged toward Jianchen.
Just when a skinny old man wanted to viciously teach Jianchen a lesson, he was suddenly pulled back by a middle-aged man beside him. He could not help but say angrily, "What are you pulling me back for? Let go of me so I can teach this ignorant junior a lesson."
"Old man, it's best if you don't get involved. This junior is extraordinary. We can't afford to provoke him," the middle-aged man replied through a communication technique. His gaze toward Jianchen was filled with great fear.
This was not the only time the same thing happened. In different places in the crowd, several experts who wanted to charge out and teach Jian Chen a lesson were pulled back by their friends. Not everyone in the protector clan was unaware of Jianchen's name. It was just that not a lot of people knew about him. However, all those who knew about Jianchen deeply understood just how capable he was.
Even though a few Saint Rulers had been pulled back by their companions, there were still five Saint Rulers who did not know about Jianchen. They furiously charged toward Jianchen and extended their powerful hands in an attempt to capture Jianchen. The two old men who had caught the heavily injured woman even used their Saint Weapons. Powerful ripples of energy coiled around the weapons. One of them stabbed toward Jianchen's chest while the other mercilessly swung toward Jianchen's arm that was around Changyang Qing Lengshuang's neck. They wanted to cut off Jianchen's entire right arm.
Jianchen did not panic at all despite being attacked by five Saint Rulers at the same time. He remained composed, but his gaze became colder and sharper.
"Mere Saint Rulers want to injure me? You overestimate yourself," Jianchen said in a deep voice, clearly reaching the ears of everyone present.
When the people gathered in the surroundings heard Jianchen's cold and arrogant words, a few of them who did not know about Jianchen became surprised. They all thought that Jianchen really was arrogant to the extreme. He did not even take Saint Rulers seriously and even humiliated them by overestimating himself.
Jianchen did not loosen his grip on Changyang Qing Lengshuang's neck. His free left hand was clenched into a fist. Without even looking at the five Saint Rulers, he directly threw a punch at the Saint Weapon that was heading toward his right arm.
Jianchen's punch was unbelievably fast. The moment it shot out, it actually vanished for a moment. Jianchen had fused his comprehension of space from the Ninth Heavenly Layer of Saint Ruler with the punch. He used Spatial Force to strike the Saint Weapon in a single moment.
"Bang!" With a muffled sound, Jianchen's fist seemed to be indestructible. It was not damaged at all when it collided with the Saint Weapon, while the Saint Ruler was blown away along with his weapon. As he flew back, the sound of bones shattering rang out. His right hand drooped powerlessly, having been shattered by Jianchen's punch.
Jianchen had forcefully taken on a Saint Ruler's powerful attack with his body. Not only was he unscathed, he had even blown his opponent away with a single punch.
Jianchen did not hesitate at all. He swung his fist again, heading toward the second old man with the Saint Weapon. He sent the second old man flying along with his weapon, ending up in the same state as the first old man. The bones in his right arm had been shattered.
Jianchen no longer cared about using his sword against mere Saint Rulers because it was like using a butcher's knife to kill a chicken. His fist was more than enough, and it was even more intimidating.
At this moment, the other three old men arrived beside Jianchen. Their six powerful hands viciously grabbed the joints of Jianchen's four limbs before exerting force at the same time. They wanted to forcefully remove the bones in his limbs.
However, in the next moment, the three of them were all shocked, and a trace of shock appeared in their eyes. They suddenly discovered that their hands didn't seem to be grabbing onto a person's joints, but rather an extremely hard piece of iron. No matter how much strength they exerted, they couldn't move this piece of iron at all.
Moreover, with their strength, even real metal would immediately deform from their grip. However, Jianchen's bones seemed to be countless times tougher than metal. Their fingers began to ache from exerting too much force, but Jianchen's bones did not move at all.
