1424 A Great Strategy (1/2)
”What?! All 12 Temple Guardians were defeated?! How is that possible?!”
Hundreds of mouths2 fell open.
Approximately 10 seconds ago, they were so certain that it was a sure win, and had busied themselves with singing Ximen Dingjun's praises.
None of them had expected things to take such a horrible turn in such a short time!
”How… Why…”
Ximen Dingjun looked like he had just fallen all the way down from heaven to hell. He had been indulging in the people's praises, drinking in all the admiration, but now, it was all coming back to him, slapping him in the face.
If it had not come from Old Meng's own mouth, Ximen Dingjun would never have believed this to be true.
At the other end of the forest.
Dong Xiaowu's exclaimed. ”My god! This Beast Horde defeated all 12 of the Temple Guardians! Mr. Chen is still over there! I don't think he's going to make it!”
Miao Yiyue frowned. ”Muyue! If we don't go get Mr. Chen out of that place, he may not make it out alive!”
”Yeah! Muyue! Let's go after Mr. Chen! If we wait any longer, none of us would dare make an appraoch!” Qin Luo and Wei Ruilong said.
As the person with the strongest strength among the group, Wenren Muyue, was very worried about Chen Xiaobei too.
But after a moment's hesitation, Wenren Muyue shook her head with a heavy heart. ”No! Let's not do anything rash! Ximen Dingjun still has a guard with him! If I'm not mistaken, that person is Meng Qianshan!”
”Who is Meng Qianshan?” Wei Ruilong asked.
”I know him!” Dong Xiaowu said. ”Meng Qianshan is a demigod! He's the personal bodyguard that the Overlord had chosen personally to protect Ximen Dingjun! He's been with the young lord since he was a child. He has never left his side!”
”A demigod?! My goodness!” Qin Luo nearly choked with surprise. ”But those over 30 years of age are not allowed to join the Elite Hunting Competition! By bringing Meng Qianshan here, wouldn't that be breaking the rules?”
”Rules?” Wenren Muyue sighed. ”Have you forgotten who came up with the rules in the first place?”Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.
”That means that Meng Qianshan can destroy the Beast Horde! Then it means that Ximen Dingjun will win first place!” Miao Yiyue wrung his hands around nervously.
”Right now, winning doesn't matter anymore.” Wenren Muyue shook her head. ”I only hope that Ximen Dingjun allows Meng Qianshan to fight the horde. Just as long as Mr. Chen is safe.”
”I…” Miao Yiyue cocked his head. ”Muyue, what is it with you? Is that guy's life more important than yours?”
”No…” Weren Muyue said softly. ”If anything happens to Mr. Chen, and even if we get first place, no one can help me come up with a prescription for my illness!”
Miao Yiyue was suddenly silent.
Chen Xiaobei was the only person in all of the Northern Wilderness Starfield who could cure Wenren Muyue. If Chen Xiaobei died, it would mean that Wenren Muyue would also die with him!
Everyone's gaze fell on Ximen Dingjun. His stride spoke of his intention.
”Ninth Young Lord! Give the orders now! If I don't go out there, the 12 Temple Guardians will be no more!” Old Meng said.
Ximen Dingjun was an egocentric prick. ”If you go, who is going to protect me? What if there's another wave of Beast Horde? I'd be a dead man then!”
”No, that won't happen,” said Old Meng. ”I will only need half a minute, and I'll be back with you! The 12 Temple Guardians have been loyal to you and protected you for more than a decade! Are you really going to let them die like that?”
”I…”
Ximen Dingjun seemed to have a change of mind. He looked around him, made sure there was no danger before agreeing reluctantly, ”Go ahead then! Hurry up! This damned place is not the Temple Capital City! Heaven knows what might happen!”
”Your humble servant will do as you have commanded!”
Old Meng put one foot forward and he was immediately a few hundred meters away.
