The leader of the Silver Armored Guards was kicked away, immediately arousing the anger of many Silver Armored Guards. Whoosh... Over a dozen people charged towards Lu Fan.
Bang bang bang... Following a series of chaotic sounds, the sight of over a dozen people flying like swallows was quite spectacular! One after another, they flew up, instantly invigorating the laborers on the entire mine. They put down their tools and began to cheer.
However, it was a great pity that the flying swallows lay on the ground and did not get up, clearly their test flight had failed. It had affected even those who could fly, preventing them from flying.
"Master is mighty!" The two young beauties shouted in unison from the side. Seeing their master subdue the opponents in the coolest, most handsome, and most direct way, the two beauties were exceptionally invigorated. They also wished they could be as powerful as their master! However, they truly couldn't achieve it.
Seeing Lu Fan's imposing demeanor, all the other Silver Armored Guards panicked. Some began to think of escaping. As soon as one person secretly ran, others followed, and then a crowd fled. With a whoosh, they all ran away. Even those lying on the ground struggled to get up and limped away.
"Do you have the courage to accompany me to seek an explanation from the Heavenly Emperor?" Lu Fan did not pay attention to the fleeing Silver Armored Guards but shouted to the laborers on the mountain.
In an instant, everyone was stunned. This kid beat people and didn't run, but instead wanted to seek an explanation from the Heavenly Emperor!? Wasn't this courting death?
"Are you willing to be laborers? Do you work tirelessly without seeking any reward?" Seeing everyone in a daze, Lu Fan asked again.
"Little hero! We... we might have a chance to return alive by working tirelessly, but if we go to seek the Heavenly Emperor, I fear we won't have a chance to live!" At this moment, a gaunt old man weakly said.
"Esteemed elder, how long have you been working tirelessly here?" Lu Fan glanced at the old man and asked.
"Over a year!" the old man said quickly.
"Then when they captured you, how long did they say you would have to work?" Lu Fan asked again.
"Ten days!" the old man replied again.
"So, do you think you still have a chance to go back? Have you seen the piles of white bones in the mountain hollow behind the mountain? Are you willing to live such a meek life? If not, those who want to seek justice for themselves, follow me. If you are willing, you can stay. Continue your current life!"
Lu Fan turned and left!
"Master! Shouldn't we patiently persuade them to follow us and seek an explanation? I see it performed like that on television!" Li Jingjing asked with her big eyes wide open.
"Their destiny is in their own hands. Whether to fight or not, no one will force them. Moreover, what's the point of fighting for a world for those who have no trace of courage? They might immediately hand it over to others to please and flatter.
The Buddha said, 'To save all beings, if I do not go to hell, who will?' To me, whoever wants to go to hell can go to hell. I only give you one chance to ascend to heaven, and it's up to you whether you cherish it!" Lu Fan said with a curl of his lip.
"Master! There is also wealth disparity and power struggles in heaven. Why do people in the mortal world still yearn to ascend? It's no different from the mortal world. If it were me, I'd still prefer the mortal world. At least people in the mortal world understand technology. To open a broken mine, they still use people to swing sledgehammers to smash rocks. Humph! Too backward!" Zhan Tai Ruo Mei pouted and said.
"Perhaps the people here consider themselves gods, possessing divine power, and disdain powers that transcend nature. This power we call science. But in the eyes of those high and mighty beings, it might be disdained. Because they might possess the power to move mountains and fill seas," Lu Fan said.
"Hahaha! Kid! You caused trouble and didn't run, but you dared to return to the city! Humph! You're quite bold!"
Suddenly, a voice came, and a team of people blocked the way of the three of them. The leading general... Lu Fan actually recognized him, Zhao Chuan.
Next to Zhao Chuan, a Silver Armored Guard, one of those who had just escaped, pointed at the three of Lu Fan and let out a wild laugh. Now that the great general himself had taken action, let's see how arrogant this kid could be.
Slap... Before the guy's laughter even subsided, he suddenly felt something fiercely slap his face. His head instantly buzzed. If it weren't for the silver helmet, his head would have likely been knocked off.
"General Zhao! Why... why did you hit me?" The guy said miserably, covering his face.
At this moment, Zhao Chuan had no time to bother with him. Seeing Lu Fan, he was startled. He remembered how he and three great generals from an enemy city were thrown down Duanmen Mountain with a single flick of a hand. How did these fools offend this plague god?
"Hero! It's you! Zhao Chuan thanks the hero for his assistance last time!" Zhao Chuan hurriedly clasped his fists and said.
"Take me to the Imperial Palace!" Lu Fan glanced at Zhao Chuan and said indifferently.
"This... Little hero! I don't have the courage to take you to the Imperial Palace. Moreover, the experts in the Imperial Palace are far stronger than me. If you go... cough cough! Little hero, I suggest you leave. Return to your Duanmen Mountain, and I guarantee no one will disturb your cultivation!" Zhao Chuan said hurriedly.
"Humph! If you don't take me, I can go myself." Lu Fan said, and then walked forward with the two young beauties.
"Little hero! You... you don't force me to act!" Zhao Chuan was a little anxious. He absolutely could not let Lu Fan go, otherwise, his crime would be too great.
"Then act!" Lu Fan ignored him and continued to walk forward.
"Go! Stop him, don't let them pass!" Zhao Chuan didn't dare to act himself, so he shouted to the Silver Armored soldiers behind him. Whoosh... A team of Silver Armored soldiers surrounded the three of Lu Fan.
Behind the three, hundreds of laborers followed from a distance. Seeing more Silver Armored soldiers appear, they were all scared and wanted to run. However, some brave individuals stood there to watch.
Whoosh... Whoosh... Whoosh... The Silver Armored soldiers were sent flying by the three people in the middle, one to the east, one to the west, one to the front, and one to the back. In a short time, the three of them fought their way through and continued to move forward. The remaining Silver Armored soldiers chased from behind, but no one dared to charge forward again.
Hundreds of laborers were invigorated. This kid was indeed powerful! They followed from a distance again.
Perhaps the commotion caused by Lu Fan and his group was too great. Many people hiding in their homes in the city secretly sneaked out to watch. Gradually, countless people gathered behind them. They all learned some of the reasons from the laborers, and then it spread from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred...
By the time Lu Fan and the three arrived outside the Imperial Palace, besides Zhao Chuan's team of Silver Armored Guards, thousands of common people had gathered behind them.
