What does that mean?

I, the Martial Alliance Leader, have to apologize to such a young man?

Although Xiao Chang'an had considered that Jiang Chen's identity might be far from simple, he couldn't let go of his own pride as the Martial Alliance Leader, and furthermore, Jiang Chen's attitude gave him a sense of contempt.

This ignited an endless fury within him.

"Jiang Chen, don't think that just because you're the young master of a prominent family that you can look down on our Martial Alliance. Our power is beyond what you can imagine. Perhaps this friend of yours is overwhelmingly powerful, but that doesn't represent you!"

Xiao Chang'an coldly shouted at Jiang Chen.

The corner of Jiang Chen's mouth curled into a mocking smile. He seemed to understand what Xiao Chang'an was about to do and simply shook his head.

Qiu Boyuan's brows were tightly furrowed as he looked at Xiao Chang'an with eyes full of disappointment.

He hadn't expected that Xiao Chang'an would so disregard his own face, even after he had hinted so clearly, and still stubbornly go his own way.

Moreover, Xiao Chang'an had completely ignored his respectful attitude toward Jiang Chen, which made Qiu Boyuan feel a twinge of disappointment. His explicit display of respect for Jiang Chen was, in effect, a subtler way of informing Xiao Chang'an about Jiang Chen's extraordinary status!

Xiao Chang'an glared at Jiang Chen, then turned and clasped his fists to Yan Hu, saying, "Please, sir, help our Martial Alliance through this crisis. You will gain the friendship of the entire Martial Alliance. Although our collective strength is weaker compared to yours, we still wield considerable influence within the Flame Dragon Kingdom. If you help us this time, whenever your family needs the help of our Martial Alliance in the future, just say the word!"

As soon as Xiao Chang'an uttered these words, a sense of absurdity welled up in Qiu Boyuan's heart. You offend their family head and here you are trying to win over a bodyguard?!

Isn't that insane?

However, Qiu Boyuan thought for a moment and immediately understood Xiao Chang'an's line of thinking, a bitter smile arising in his heart!

Alliance Hierarch, oh Alliance Hierarch, you're truly too clever for your own good!

Do you think Mr. Jiang lacks strength, relying solely on Mr. Yan Hu?

Do you believe that Mr. Jiang and Mr. Yan Hu are merely close friends, and since Mr. Yan Hu is so powerful, his background must be more formidable than Mr. Jiang's?

Alliance Hierarch, you are gravely mistaken!

"Alliance Hierarch, allow me to introduce…"

With this thought, Qiu Boyuan hurriedly spoke up, ready to reveal the true identities of Jiang Chen and company, so Xiao Chang'an would realize how ridiculously wrong he was.

Bang!

But before Qiu Boyuan could finish speaking, a muffled sound erupted, and a figure swiftly attacked Xiao Chang'an, who was leaning against the platform.

Xiao Chang'an's brow furrowed. Unable to turn around in time, he fiercely struck out with a palm toward his rear.

Qiu Boyuan's face changed dramatically as he cried out, "Stop, it's Vice Alliance Hierarch Dao!"

As he spoke, Qiu Boyuan lunged forward, attempting to intercept Dao Wufeng before Xiao Chang'an's attack could land.

Xiao Chang'an's expression changed drastically, but it was too late to withdraw his palm!

"Hu Zi!" Jiang Chen spoke indifferently.

Swish!

Yan Hu's figure flashed, and at the critical moment, he reached out and caught Dao Wufeng, avoiding Xiao Chang'an's palm strike.

Casually handing Dao Wufeng over to Qiu Boyuan, Yan Hu didn't even glance at Xiao Chang'an and turned back to Jiang Chen's side.

"Vice Alliance Hierarch, how are you?" Qiu Boyuan asked worriedly, supporting Dao Wufeng.

"Who is this man? How can he be so strong!?"

"Two moves! The Vice Alliance Hierarch was sent flying after just two moves?!"

"So strong! Is our Martial Alliance about to be swept aside today?"

"What... What should we do now! Is the Alliance Hierarch his match?"

A flurry of panicked discussions arose on the sandy beach.

At this moment, Dao Wufeng's face was pale beyond compare, fresh blood constantly spilling from his mouth, his chest caved in, and his eyes revealed a trace of horror.

Two moves, he had been severely injured by two moves from that elder!

"Thank you, sir!" Dao Wufeng clasped his fists and bowed deeply to Yan Hu. He was crystal clear about what had happened—if it weren't for Yan Hu catching him in time, he would probably have been slapped to death by Xiao Chang'an's palm.

At that time, he had no ability to dodge Xiao Chang'an's attack, while Xiao Chang'an, feeling the gale winds and thinking he was under attack, had shown no mercy with that palm strike!

And it was presumably that elder's intention to send him flying toward Xiao Chang'an.

If that were really the case, not only would he have died on the spot, but both Xiao Chang'an and the Martial Alliance would have lost all their honor.

So, he was genuinely grateful to Yan Hu.

But Yan Hu spoke indifferently, "No need to thank me, it was the Young Master who told me to make a move!"

"Young Master!?"

Xiao Chang'an's expression changed, he exclaimed in shock, gave Yan Hu an incredulous glance, and then looked toward Jiang Chen in disbelief.

Qiu Boyuan opened with a wry smile, "Alliance Hierarch, this man is the Head of the Jiang Family of Jincheng, Jiang Chen, Head of the Jiang Family. Mr. Yan Hu is merely Mr. Jiang's bodyguard!"

Xiao Chang'an was completely stunned. The Head of the Jiang Family from Jincheng?! The business tyrant of Jincheng, Dingjing, and Jinhai?! The chairman of the Longteng, Yi Chen, and Jiuzhou Group conglomerates?!

"Head of the Jiang Family?!" Dao Wufeng's expression burst with joy as he eagerly said, "Mr. Jiang, are you, are you the son of Elder Ming Long?!"

"Do you know my father?!" Jiang Chen looked at Dao Wufeng in surprise.

Dao Wufeng smiled faintly, "Do you know if your father ever told you about when he was young, how he constantly pestered someone to learn martial arts?"

"Eh... you're the 'Brother Dao' my dad mentioned? That person who used a wooden sword to spank my dad's butt?" Jiang Chen looked at Dao Wufeng, full of surprise.

"Haha! Elder Ming Long even told you about that embarrassing story?" Dao Wufeng was taken aback for a moment and then chuckled.

"Have you all finished discussing?" An icy voice came through, and the elder on the stage came to the edge of the platform, looking at Dao Wufeng and Xiao Chang'an with a sarcastic face, "What's the matter? The prestigious Alliance Hierarch of the Martial Alliance doesn't dare to come up and take the challenge?"

Xiao Chang'an's expression changed slightly, looking at the elder with apprehension, then turned with hopeful eyes toward Jiang Chen.

"Nephew Jiang, I overstepped by calling you nephew, but considering the friendship between me and your father, please, help our Martial Alliance! The domestic situation is getting increasingly tense, and several mysterious forces are infiltrating the Flame Dragon Kingdom. At this time, we cannot afford to lose the Martial Alliance's prestige; otherwise, we'll be unable to organize an effective defense!" Dao Wufeng's expression changed as he spoke urgently and quietly.

Jiang Chen was taken aback, looking at Dao Wufeng with astonishment, "You..."

"Mr. Jiang, I'm sorry, it's my fault. I shouldn't have postured against you, nor should I have pressured you. Please, for the sake of being fellow citizens of the Flame Dragon Kingdom, lend a hand to our Martial Alliance. This favor, our Martial Alliance will remember for a lifetime. Once this potential crisis is averted, whatever Mr. Jiang commands, our Martial Alliance will undoubtedly comply!"

At this point, Xiao Chang'an set aside his pride and bowed deeply to Jiang Chen.

"What's happening?!"

"Why is the Alliance Hierarch bowing to that young man?!"

"What's going on here?!"

"Who on earth is that kid?!"

The members of the Martial Alliance were instantly in an uproar.

They were completely shocked.

The dignified Martial Alliance Leader, the ruler of all their masters, was actually bowing to a young man.

And that young man was completely unfazed, calm and composed.

How could this not shock them?

Involuntarily, they all wondered just who Jiang Chen really was?
