Chapter 2027: The Divine Palace Opens (One)

As soon as Jian Chen’s group made it onto the deck, the people from the Yun family gathered there all turned around and looked at them.

Only Yun Lianqing treated the three of them amiably, immediately clasping his fist at them with a smile to expression his goodwill. It was completely sincere, without any faking at all.

As for the other people of the Yun family, roughly half of them, with Yun Weifeng as their leader, looked at Jian Chen’s group with great hostility. The other half was cold, and their faces did not change at all. They seemed condescending as they studied Jian Chen, Kai Ya, and master Chanlong emotionlessly.

Although it was the first time many of them had seen Jian Chen and the others, they had learnt of their existence several months ago. They also knew that these people took up three spots of their Yun family’s Neptunean Medallion.

Although this displeased many people of the Yun family, they knew that the great elder had approved this, so they deeply suppressed their displeasure.

However, the beautiful young lady of the Yun family in a pink dress immediately became furious when she saw Jian Chen, Kai Ya, and master Chanlong arrive. She planted her hands on her hips and called out, “The three of you, how can you be so late as my guards? Since you’re guards, you should understand your responsibilities as guards. But why do I feel like you don’t even know what a guard should do and what they should be aware of normally?”

The young lady, Yun Xin, spoke louder and louder. At the same time, her expression grew colder and colder. She looked at Yun Lianqing unhappily and pointed at the trio with a slender finger. She struggled to hide her anger as she said, “Uncle Qing, look at the guards you’ve found for me. They’re not conscientious at all. How can they be compared to Hua Qi, Tang Ling, and Zhou Xiaoqian?”

The young lady’s open criticism of the trio coupled with how she directly regarded them as her guards immediately made Yun Lianqing’s face darken. His face sank slightly as he glared at Yun Xin. Just when he wanted to lecture her, Jian Chen spoke instead.

“You must be the young lady of the Yun family, Yun Xin, right? Miss Yun Xin, I am Jian Chen. In regards to what the young lady said just then, I must reiterate some things, just in case miss Yun Xin misunderstands,” Jian Chen said firmly as he walked forwards with Kai Ya and master Chanlong steadily.

Even though over a dozen Godkings of the Yun family were gathered before them, the three of them showed no fear at all.

Jian Chen continued, “Miss Yun Xin, first, we’re not your guards, so you have no right to meddle with what we do. Secondly, according to our agreement, we’re only going to protect you once we enter the Neptunean Divine Palace, so before we go in, we don’t bear the responsibility.”

“And even after we enter the Neptunean Divine Palace, we’re only protecting you for a year. We will assist you with whatever we have to obtain a legacy if we do come across one as well. After that year, there will be nothing more between us.”

Aside from Yun Lianqing, Jian Chen’s words left everyone in the Yun family somewhat surprised. They looked at Jian Chen in a daze as they felt much disbelief.

In the past, whenever an Overgod had spoken to them, they were all polite and submissive.

Yet, not only did this mere Overgod show no fear before all these Godkings of the Yun family, he even discussed his terms with them dramatically as an equal. This was the first time they had seen such a bold Overgod.

“Heh, your courage is indeed worthy of praise to talk terms with our Yun family. I just wonder if you have that right or not,” a man who seemed to be in his early thirties sneered in the crowd. Vicious light flickered through his eyes. He had already taken out a step, appearing before Jian Chen like he had teleported. He smiled coldly as he slapped at Jian Chen.

“Yun Shan, stop!” Yun Lianqing’s face changed suddenly as he called out coldly. He had never expected Yun Shan to attack Jian Chen. He wanted to stop him, but he was already too late.

None of the Godkings behind them interfered. Including Yun Weifeng, a few Godkings were already sneering scornfully.

If Jian Chen were a Godking, there would have been no need for them to act like this when he mentioned his terms.

However, he was only an Overgod, yet he was still bold enough to talk terms with the Yun family. Moreover, he showed no respect to these Godkings at all, immediately infuriating many of the people present. They were more than happy to see Yun Shan attack him now.

As a matter of fact, some people had already locked their gazes onto Chanlong.

Chanlong was the only Godking among them. Although he had only broken through recently, he was clearly enough to raise their attention.

If Chanlong wanted to interfere, they would step in at the same time to stop Chanlong from helping Jian Chen.

However, to their surprise, not only did Chanlong, the only person they believed to have some hope in stopping Yun Shan, not move at all, but he even smiled mysteriously instead, which truly perplexed them.

Jian Chen’s face immediately turned cold from what Yun Shan was doing. At the same time, his indifferent gaze became extremely sharp. He did not dodge Yun Shan’s attack at all. Instead, he clenched his fist and hurled it out with the powers of the Laws of the Sword and Chaotic Force. He struck Yun Shan’s hand with lightning speed.

Bang!

A heavy sound rang out from the collision.

Yun Shan only felt a great force strike his right hand, and he experienced excruciating pain. Immediately, he grunted uncontrollably before his entire right arm became numb.

His right hand had been reduced to a bloody mess, and his entire arm drooped powerlessly. The cracking of bone seemed to be somewhat audible.

Although Yun Shan was a Godking, he was only an early Godking. Even if he used his full strength, he was not Jian Chen’s opponent.

Coupled with the fact that he had underestimated Jian Chen and regarded him as a regular Overgod, he did not even use his full strength during the clash. As a result, he suffered greatly from it.

Behind, all the people who had witnessed this clash were shocked. The only exception was Yun Lianqing, who already knew Jian Chen’s strength. Clearly, they struggled to accept this outcome.

Yun Xian was stunned as well. She had heard from her uncle Qing that Jian Chen was a supreme Overgod from the Overgods’ Plaque, but she never took it seriously because even the supreme Overgods on the Overgods’ Plaque were nowhere close to Godkings, aside from those ranked in the top ten.

However, she had never thought that Jian Chen would be so powerful that Yun Shan would suffer from the first clash.

“Y- you-” Yun Shan glared at Jian Chen in shock. His entire right arm had been shattered. The injury made him furious from the humiliation.
