Starting With Chaos Physique-Chapter 56 - The Protector Appears, Qin Qingqing Runs Away in Anger

Chapter 56 The Protector Appears, Qin Qingqing Runs Away in Anger

Golden blood filled with divine intent and saintly power shimmered, scattering crystalline light. Yet it directly collapsed the mountain range ahead!

This scene was stunning and, following that, spine-chilling.

With just a cold snort, a half-saint was injured!

The supreme experts of the Undead Lake and Heavenly Dao Sect turned pale, their gazes darting toward a particular spot in the void.

From the void, a figure in gray robes emerged, his face weathered and unassuming, but his cold eyes betrayed a faint glimmer of frost. He didn’t seem extraordinary in any way, yet his mere presence inspired profound dread in everyone present.

Around him, time and space seemed distorted and sluggish.

“Protector!” A clan elder of the Gu family exclaimed in excitement. Only now did he recall that such a figure had been secretly safeguarding Gu Changsheng.

Earlier, the tense situation had momentarily caused him to forget.

It was well-known that this gray-robed man had once served the Gu family’s patriarch and had since been appointed as Gu Changsheng’s protector. Few knew of his existence, and the elder himself had only learned about it recently.

“To think such a figure is his protector. The Gu family’s regard for Gu Changsheng is truly unmatched!” The supreme experts from Undead Lake and Heavenly Dao Sect exchanged glances, their eyes betraying astonishment.

Even they could sense a tinge of deathly dread emanating from the gray-robed man—a sign of immense danger.

At their level, they could lightly influence the river of time and discern all forms of spiritual energy and presence within the world. This clarity of death’s aura enveloping them made their hair stand on end.

In other words, this gray-robed man was capable of killing them!

“Greetings, young master,” the gray-robed man addressed Gu Changsheng with a bow.

Gu Changsheng nodded slightly. “No need for formalities.”

His ancestor had once told him that among peers, the trials and tribulations would be his alone to bear. Live or die, it all depended on his own strength.

However, should any audacious elder dare interfere with the rules, they would be handled accordingly. Gu Changsheng need not concern himself with such matters.

Clearly, the half-saint before them had crossed the line.

The Immortal family, an eternal presence in the world, ensured that their heirs could traverse the lands without fearing meddlesome spirits or demons.

“Th-this…”

“Senior, I beg your mercy. It was my fault for overstepping,” pleaded Ying Feng, terror-stricken.

His face was pale, and his fear was palpable. Having lived countless millennia, it was the first time he had felt death so vividly. His legs nearly buckled beneath him.

“Let this be your only warning. Should it happen again, your soul shall scatter, and even the cycle of reincarnation will be beyond your reach,” the gray-robed man coldly declared.

With a mere glance, the gray-robed man vanished once more. The oppressive aura that had stifled the heavens and earth slowly dissipated.

It was as if the entire episode had been an illusion.

The supreme experts collectively heaved sighs of relief, their backs drenched in sweat.

This wasn’t merely a warning for Ying Feng—it was a warning for them all.

Their gazes toward Gu Changsheng now carried a complex blend of awe and trepidation.

The legendary Chaos Body—if such a figure emerged in their own family, they too would undoubtedly lavish the same treatment.

Afterward, the experts excused themselves and departed for Northern Wilderness City. Though the Hunting Conference had ended prematurely, the Rankings within the Qiankun Mirror remained intact.

The rewards still needed to be distributed. Many ancient clans and great sects eagerly awaited the results.

Unquestionably, this year’s first place went to the Gu family.

For the next millennium, the Qiankun Mirror would also be under Gu family control.

Both the Qin family and the Ying family were utterly overshadowed!

Amid the dissipating oppressive aura, Qin Qingqing pouted slightly, as if in mild jealousy. “Your family really dotes on you. Even your protector is so powerful.”

“The family indeed treats me well. But your protector isn’t any weaker,” Gu Changsheng replied, nodding without denying the claim.

His extraordinary senses allowed him to perceive faint traces of concealed presences occasionally protecting Qin Qingqing.

“Alas, I have to return to my family now. Who knows when I’ll get to come out again?” Qin Qingqing sighed dramatically, lowering her head. Yet, the corners of her eyes snuck glances at Gu Changsheng, gauging his reaction.

However, Gu Changsheng’s expression remained utterly indifferent. He simply nodded and replied, “Understood.”

“Eh?” Qin Qingqing froze momentarily.

Just that?

Nothing else to say?

Not even words to dissuade or retain her? After all, we just survived a life-and-death ordeal together in the Northern Wasteland Sacred Tomb.

What did this mean? Does he not want to see me anymore?

Does he find my presence annoying?

Thoughts raced through her mind, giving rise to a faint sense of frustration and disappointment.

This blockhead!

Qin Qingqing’s family elder soon arrived, her gaze darting between Gu Changsheng and Qin Qingqing with a tinge of suspicion.

The young man is strikingly handsome, and the young woman is ethereally beautiful—a perfect match, one might say.

But since when had they become so close?

Qin Qingqing’s Void Physique was a tightly kept secret, and only a handful of people were aware of it. For the Qin family, she was an irreplaceable asset.

“Miss, are you alright?” the elder asked.

“I’m fine,” Qin Qingqing replied flatly. Then, with an edge to her tone, she added, “What could possibly be wrong? I’m not upset—why would I be? No one cares if I am anyway. Hmph…”

With that, she shot Gu Changsheng a sharp glare before vanishing into the void.

The elder quickly bade farewell to Gu Changsheng before pursuing her charge.

“Divine Son, should we let the patriarch propose marriage to the Qin family?” a Gu family elder hesitated before suggesting.

He could tell that the Qin family’s young miss had a peculiar attitude toward Gu Changsheng. But his Divine Son’s reaction… was hard to decipher.

Gu Changsheng glanced at the elder and shook his head. “There’s no need. Let things unfold naturally.”

He wouldn’t deny his fondness for the lively and ethereal Qin Qingqing.

But when it came to marriage, it was simply too early.

So, at this moment, it was better to act as if he understood nothing.
