When things become unusual in an unconventional manner, there usually must be something going on!

　　Had Wenren Muyue not mentioned it, the others would not have noticed that they did not meet a single Demonic Beast on their way back.

　　This was extremely out of the ordinary. There must be a huge conspiracy behind all this!

　　“So what should we do now?” Dong Xiaowu asked nervously.

　　They had just escaped from the jaws of the lion, and they were only too familiar with how frightening the Demonic Beasts were. Everyone looked at Wenren Muyue, their stomachs tied in a knot.

　　Wenren Muyue said nothing but looked at Chen Xiaobei. She was clearly handing the stage over to Chen Xiaobei.

　　Chen Xiaobei took the cue, and said, “The Demonic Beasts are no less intelligent than us! The disappearance of the Demonic Beasts could only mean that they had gathered somewhere, and are cooking up a big conspiracy! I suggest that everyone get to the portals and return to Silver Plume Planet immediately!”

　　“Alright! Alright! We’ll all listen Mr. Chen, and leave this hell of a place! We do not want to stay here another second longer!”

　　The group nodded eagerly.

　　If it was not for Chen Xiaobei, they would have already become the Demonic Beasts’ dinner. There was also a high chance that, right now, this was what they called by the calm before the storm. When Chen Xiaobei said leave, everyone was in complete agreement. None of them wanted to stay.

　　“What about the other people?” Wenren Muyue asked. “There are at least one million people on Overgrown Forest planet! Are we going to just let them fall into the Demonic Beasts’ ploy?”

　　“We’ll notify the people on our way back to the portals! Those who believe us can follow us. But there’s nothing I can do about those who don’t!” Chen Xiaobei said. “There is a high chance that no one will believe us!”

　　“I…” Wenren Muyue was taken aback for a moment. When she recovered from the shock, she said firmly, “It looks like that will have to do! Let’s do our best to advice everyone to leave with us! I’m afraid that a terrifying event is about unfold in front of us!”

　　After that, the hundreds of Silver Plume people split up, and made their way through the safe zone, informing everyone they met about the impending danger, so that the people from the other planets were also forewarned.

　　But it was just as Chen Xiaobei had thought.

　　When the young people from the other planets heard their warning, they laughed it off. No one believed them!

　　“What a joke! The Elite Hunting Competition takes place every year. There’s never been any problems so far! We only have three more days before the competition ends! We cannot withdraw prematurely, can we?”

　　“Exactly! We are in the safe zone! The Temple guards are watching over the whole area! There won’t be any accidents!”

　　“You know what I think? You guys are deliberately spreading false news to trick us so that Silver Plume planet can win all of the awards! We will never fall for that!”

　　“How dare you guys spread false rumors! I will report you to the Temple Elder in charge!”

　　The Elite Competition promised high-value rewards. Those who managed to garner good rankings would be known all over Northern Wilderness!

　　Most of the people came here in pursuit of status and fame.

　　The Demonic Beasts had disappeared since the afternoon, and many of them had actually noticed it.

　　Blinded by the temptation of fame and greed though, they had forgotten about danger. None of them bothered to take the time to figure out about the problem. Not only did the young people from the other planets not believe the Silver Plume citizens, they even accused them of playing dirty tricks to take all the fame to themselves.

　　“Mr. Chen is right!” Miao Yiyue said. “We want to save people but no one believes us! Let’s go! Let’s get back to Silver Plume! The people who refuse to believe Mr. Chen will just have to suffer the consequences later!”

　　“Don’t sat that!” Wenren Muyue furrowed her brows. “There is saying that if one part hurts, the other parts suffer with it too! All these people are the future of the Northern Wilderness Starfield! If something happens to them, we won’t be able to survive for long either!”

　　“Muyue is right!” Dong Xiaowu said. “There are at least 10,000 people here who are from our Silver Plume planet alone! Excluding us, there are over 9,000 people scattered all over this place! If something happens to them, Silver Plume will turn into a mess!”

　　Qin Luo frowned. “I know, but we’ve already done our part and warned them! If they don’t believe us, should we going to tie them up and force them to the portal instead?”

　　“Human beings will die for riches, just as birds will for food! Who would be willing to give up when they are so close to success?” Wei Ruilong exhaled, dispirited.

　　“How about this eh? You guys retreat first!” Wenren Muyue said. “I will stay and continue to warn the people! Saving a lives is more important than anything else! If we can save one person, then we’ll take that one person!”

　　“Muyue! Don’t waste your energy!” Miao Yiyue said. “We’ve already warned them on our way here! We’ve practically lost our voices trying to persuade them but the people just threw cold water on us!”

　　Wenren Muyue turned a deaf ear and walked up to a group of youngsters from other planets.

　　“Mr. Chen! Please advise Muyue! She’ll listen to you!” Miao Yiyue felt helpless.

　　“I don’t plan to advise her!” Chen Xiaobei shook his head. “Saving lives is more important! Perhaps I should try and save all these people!”

　　The group was surprised to hear this.

　　“Mr. Chen, are you kidding? Even though you are unusually strong, how can you possibly save all these people on your own? It would be impossible even for a deity!”

　　“With effort, one can achieve anything! If I don’t try, I would never know!” Chen Xiaobei said. “You guys can all return to Silver Plume. I will stay back and observe the situation!”

　　“What…” The group was flabbergasted. “Mr. Chen, you’re the one who suggested we withdraw and return to Silver Plume. Why aren’t you leaving with us then?”

　　“Because I need to save people… to collect merits!” Chen Xiaobei said calm and firm as a rock.

　　He still remembered what Acheron said about Lu Bu wanting to save Diao Chan! The best way to do it was to help her become an Earth God! And that would have required 10, 000,000,000 merit points!

　　If he could save all one million people, Chen Xiaobei would be able to earn a lot of merit points!

　　Who knows, he might even be able to save Diao Chan and win over Lu Bu!

　　The good and bad aside, Chen Xiaobei valued loyalty and friendship too much to cross swords till the death with Lu Bu.

　　Above all that, Lu Bu had been blackmailed by Shen Gongpao. If he fought with Chen Xiaobei, Shen Gongpao would reap the benefits! Chen Xiaobei was not about to let the asshole get what he wanted!

　　That was why Chen Xiaobei wanted to save all these one million young people!

　　What Chen Xiaobei wanted was camaraderie!

　　“Stay away from me, you bunch of disgusting jerks!”

　　Suddenly, a commotion broke out from Wenren Muyue was standing.

　　The group of youngsters had her hedge in in their little circle.
