Chapter 1456 - A Million People’s Protection
Dong Xiaowu was the young governor of Silver Plume; Miao Yiyue, Qin Luo, and Wei Ruilong were the heirs of the three Star Temples, and Miao Yiyue’s father and grandfather were the Temple elders.
These five people alone represented Silver Plume’s top-tier noble’s authority, and they were all standing by Chen Xiaobei’s side.
This shocked Lu Mingjun. “What the hell are you guys doing?”
“Mr. Chen only killed Lu Changwei to protect us! If we just stand here and watch Mr. Chen get killed, we are no better than animals!” Wenren Muyue shouted. She was going to protect Chen Xiaobei at any cost.
Like the Prime of Tongtian had said, if you kill people for personal gain, you are an evil beast! If you kill someone to protect yourself, you are an average beast! If you kill someone to protect your kind, you are a kind beast!
To protect the people, Chen XIaobei killed Lu Changwei – that was, without a doubt, an act of kindness!
But anyone who had a conscience would know which side to stand on!
What was even more surprising was that even Wenren Muyue, a girl, stood out to defend Chen Xiaobei. If the men around her turned their backs in fear, then they would have proven that they were just a bunch of scaredy-cats!
“Us too! If Master Lu wants to kill Mr. Chen, you’ll have to do it over our dead bodies!”
The 10,000 young men of Silver Plume shouted heatedly, and gathered around Chen Xiaobei like stars circling around the moon.
“You… Have all of you lost your mind or were you brainwashed by this Chen idiot?!” Lu Mingjun’s face was green and red with anger.
“We didn’t lose our minds nor were we brainwashed! If Mr. Chen had not saved us, we would have already become food of the Demonic Beasts! Now that Mr. Chen is in trouble, we must also bear this with him!”
All 10,000 young people shouted in unison – the unity of will was an impregnable stronghold – A firm, unmoving aura exploded, and managed to suppress Lu Mingju’s presence.
“How dare you threaten me?!” Lu Mingjun said through gritted teeth. “Don’t worry! I won’t kill any of you. If I do, I will become the greatest sinner of Silver Plume! But I will kill that Chen idiot!”
“If you want to kill Mr. Chen, then you’d have to do it over our dead bodies!” The 10,000 people shouted again; staunch and unyielding, loud and clear, attracting the attention of the other young people from the other planets nearby!
“Hehe, are you guys really insane or just pretending to be insane? You want to stop me?” Lu Mingjun barked.
Immediately, he channeled his Ethereal Force to his body and communicated with the Mother Nature.
“Allow me to borrow… the power of flame! Kneel before me, you puny humans!”
Seconds later, a bright merciless flame began to appear and attempted to turn the entire area into a sea of flame!
“Shit!” The people shouted.
They could all feel an enormous threat on their shoulders.
The pressure came from the skies and the ground, crushing them in the center, and they were overwhelmed with a strenuous feeling.
Their bodies began to shake, and their knees trembled. They had to fight very hard just to stand on both feet.
Lu Mingjun wanted them to bow. He simply was not just saying it!
He had already reached the level of a demigod. The power of nature that he had borrowed was far stronger than a Celestial Cultivation elite!
In front of Mother Nature, how could they not kneel down?
“So, can you stop me now?” Lu Mingjun sniggered. “The strong rule in this world! Not only did you fail to stop me, you will also have to watch as I kill that piece of shit! Hahah!”
Lu Mingjun was using his strength to coerce everyone, thinking that he could kill Chen Xiaobei, and he broke out into a bout of deafening laughter.
However, in the next second, Lu Mingjun was completely stumped.
“Stop!”
All over the place, young people were trickling in like river flowing into the ocean, gathering all around Chen Xiaobei.
10,000 people, 100,000 people, and finally all 1 million young people were standing around Chen Xiaobei.
“I am the young governor of Spiritual King Planet! If you kill Mr. Chen, you would become our Spiritual King Planet’s enemy!”
“My father is the Temple’s core elder! My grandfather is the overlord’s consecrated military advisor! If you kill Mr. Chen, we will make you pay!”
“My gather is the Grand Marshal of number one space fleet! We’ll see if you dare touch a hair on Mr. Chen!”
“My uncle is the vice chairman of Northern Wilderness Chamber of Commerce!”
“I am the young governor of Mercury Planet!”
“I am…”
All at once, the top-tier young nobles revealed their identities.
There were actually a whole group of high-ranking rich brats among these one million young people!
And all of these people were adamant on protecting Chen Xiaobei!
Most importantly, these people who dared announce their families, all had people who were so much stronger than the Lu Family which were supporting them. They were not people Lu Mingjun could afford to offend.
“This…”
Lu Mingjun was stunned. A few seconds ago, he had been laughing away, but now he was one push away from vomiting blood.
There was a saying: win the people’s heart, and you win the entire world!
That was the power of people’s hearts!
In other words, that was the power of disciples!
Seeing this brought joy to Wenren Muyue and Dong Xiaowu’s heart.
Now, even if he had the heart of a lion, he would not dare kill Chen Xiaobei, or at least, not kill him here!
“Hey, Lu. I told you just now not too speak too soon! So? Now that you are too scared to kill me, where are you going to hide your face; your Lu family’s face?”
Chen Xiaobei’s tone was calm as if he had already expected this to happen.
“You…” Lu Mingjun’s face scrunched up, as if he has just tasted warm turd.
Lu Mingjun was too afraid to kill Chen Xiaobei but when Chen Xiaobei taunted him, his anger was once again aroused.
“You piece of shit! You’ve gone too far! Even if I have to offend the entire universe today, I will kill you!” Lu Mingjun barked, and made a move to leap over the sea of people to attack Chen Xiaobei.
“No! Protect Mr. Chen!”
The people screamed. Lu Mingjun was a demi-god. If he truly wanted to kill someone, none of them would be able to stop him!
Whoosh!
But suddenly, another shadow leaped into the air, and struck down on Lu Mingjun’s shoulder, sending him to the ground.
“Old… Old Meng? Why are you here?” Lu Mingjun gawped. When it came to strength, he was not afraid of Old Meng. But when it came to rank and position, he would not dare offend Old Meng.
Instead of replying, Old Meng looked behind him.
The sea of people parted, and Ximen Dingjun came through, pointing a finger at Lu Mingjun and shouting, “Motherf*cker! Lu Mingjun, you sure are a piece of shit!”
