1642 The Third Ques (1/2)
”These people are all Earth Jianghu's God-Ascension cultivators. Because they didn't know the rules, I punished them.”
Chen Xiaobei swept his gaze across the room at the six demigods who were looking at the ground like frightened little children, too afraid to even breathe.
If the six of them served the temple well, the Northern Wilderness Temple Overlord would be like their God of Prosperity with an endless supplies of Spiritual Stones!
However, if they failed to do their jobs well, the Northern Wilderness Overlord would be like their Reaper, capable of taking their lives.
Right now, Chen Xiaobei was the new Temple Master of whom the Temple Overlord had approved of, and crossing Chen Xiaobei also meant crossing the Temple Overlord.
That was why the demigods were so afraid.
But Sima Liang stepped forward and said, ”Mr. Chen! Although you killed Lu Gang, fixed the portal and rebuilt Atlantis, contributing your labour to the Overlord…”
Everyone turned their attention to him. He had just said 'although' which meant that the sentence was not yet complete!
”You have yet to complete the Overlord's final quest! So, you're not actually the official South Town Star Temple Master yet!” Sima Liang added with emphasis. ”You don't have the authority of the South Town Star Temple Master yet but you did as you pleased, and beat the guests until they looked like this! You disrespect the Temple! You disrespect the Overlord!”
Suddenly, everyone's demeanor changed.
”Chen Zhufeng! The nerve you have!” Zhou Daoxian roared. ”You are not the Temple Master yet and you have the nerve to humiliate us like that! How defiant!”
”Chen! You are a savage!” Xu Shiqiu added. ”You did not have the authority yet you beat us without seeking permission! That's insolence towards the Overlord!”
”No! That's not simply a matter of insolence!” Ding Xiadong followed suit. ”We are all invited guests of the Temple Overlord! Chen Zhufeng hitting us meant that he was slapping the Overlord in the face as well!
If Chen Xiaobei was the South Town Star Temple Master, these six demigods would not have criticized him so harshly.
However, it seemed that Chen Xiaobei was not the Master of the South Town Star Temple!
Sima Liang even appeared to be accusatory!
Sima Liang was the brains of the Northern Wilderness' think-tank! He was the one who legitimized half of the important policies in Northern Wilderness Starfield. The other half required his input before being implemented!
If the Temple Overlord was the Emperor of the starfield, then Sima Liang was his left hand!
Sima Liang's accusation indicated that Chen Xiaobei's rise to South Town Star Temple Master was not yet complete!
That was why Zhou Daoxian and Xu Shiqiu dared to scold Chen Xaiobei.
The other six demigods were no fools either. They understood what was at stake and were infuriated.
”Overlord!” The demigods called out, complaining at once.
”Chen Zhufeng, this bastard is so conceited! He's dictatorial and commits outrage! He has no respect for you! He's such a despicable creature!”
”This kind of person should not be allowed to become the Master of South Town Star Temple! He'll be like a cancerous growth to the Temple! He will stir up trouble for all of Earth's Jianghu and make sure we have no way of getting by!”
”Please, Overlord, sir! No matter what, you cannot let Chen Zhufeng become the Temple Master!”
