A rare opportunity

Chapter 631 A woman’s kindness

They didn't need to wait too long! Li Yu saw the Taotie gang's bandits driving a group of ordinary people with children and crying for their parents towards Lingshan!

When Li Yu saw this, he couldn't help but burst into flames! He wanted to rush out and chop these inhumane bandits into pieces! They were using ordinary people as shields!

Seeing them getting closer and closer, the gunners didn't dare to breathe, but just stared at Mu Chengqi nervously! They didn't know whether Mu Chengqi would give the order to fire. They also didn't know whether they should execute it! Mu Chengqi was at a loss. He immediately said to Li Yu in a trembling voice:

"How to do?"

"What else can we do? Fire!"

Before Li Yu could speak, Yao Shouxin spoke loudly.

To be honest, although everyone present felt reluctant, they thought this should be the best option at the moment! If they didn't fire, then the bandits would take the opportunity to rush into the formation!

To them, those ordinary people are just a group of ants! Their purpose of guarding the star veins is not for them, but for themselves! Those ants are just taking advantage of them! The lives of ants are nothing, and it is natural to sacrifice them to guard the star veins! It's just that people have compassion, even if they see a group of ants dying, they will feel sympathy, not to mention that they are human beings? Call them hypocritical or say they are false! Anyway, they do have some sadness and reluctance in their hearts!

Seeing Li Yu in a daze, Mu Chengqi couldn't help but sigh, then turned around and raised his right hand high to the gunners, shouting:

"Gunners, man! Fire..."

"stop!"

Mu Chengqi's voice woke Li Yu from his deep thoughts! He immediately shouted and stopped Mu Chengqi!

Mu Chengqi thought that Li Yu's silence meant tacit approval. But in fact, Li Yu was thinking about how to save those innocent people!

You have to know that Li Yu is different from them. He is just an ordinary citizen, an ant-like existence! It is inevitable that they feel a sense of sympathy for each other! He knew that if this happened, the cannon they had worked so hard to refine would lose its effect. But he still stopped Mu Chengqi's action!

"Alliance leader! What are you doing? If you don't fire now, it will be too late!"

Yao Shouxin said hurriedly.

"Senior Yao! Do you have the heart to let those innocent people die tragically under our artillery fire?"

Li Yu was furious! He never thought that such an emperor would treat the lives of ordinary people as worthless! There were quite a few of them! There were tens of thousands of ordinary people!

"You... are such a softie! You... you would actually disregard justice and the safety of Lan Yuxing for the sake of these ordinary people?

Everyone! Since Li Yu only cares about his own petty feelings and ignores the greater good, and disregards the safety of our Blue Jade Star, I suggest that Li Yu be dismissed from his position as leader and a virtuous person be selected to take over the position! "

"What the fuck did you say? Dismiss the leader? You're allowed to be the leader? Why don't you just take a piss and look in the mirror? Are you fucking qualified?"

Zhou Fulin immediately jumped out, pointed at Yao Shouxin's nose and cursed. Xiong Ba also glared at him!

"You...you really don't know what's good for you! I did this for you! For Lan Yuxing! Emperor Xu, Emperor Jiang, Emperor Yu, tell me, does what I said make sense?"

Although Yao Shouxin was filled with anger, he did not dare to argue with Zhou Fulin. After all, he no longer had the strength to challenge him!

Xu Qiankun and Jiang Wuya looked stunned! Although they did not agree with Li Yu's approach, they were disgusted by what Yao Shouxin said! Only Yu Wanli smiled awkwardly at him!

"Whether to be the leader or not, we will discuss it later! But now I am still the leader! I can't just watch my own family members being slaughtered by artillery fire! What's more, we still have the killing array, so we may not necessarily lose!

Senior Mu! Please quickly withdraw the cannons into the Thousand Illusions Formation! You stay behind to command! If the killing formation is lost, you can use the cannons to bombard!

Senior Huang! After those people enter the formation, please try to lead them into the Thousand Illusions Formation! The rest of you should do your job and stay in your position! Act now! "

Li Yu didn't care about other people's thoughts and issued his order immediately! Everything else can be discussed, but when it comes to the lives of these ordinary people, there is no room for negotiation! If someone disagrees, he will not hesitate to resort to force! Anyway, he is determined to guard the star veins so that the creatures of Lanyu Star can survive! To be able to reproduce! If they fire the cannon this time, what about the next time? The people will die, and all the lives will die. Then what is the point of guarding the star veins?

To be honest, except for upper-class figures like Yao Shouxin, most of the monks come from ordinary people. Most of them still have a conscience and humanity! What's more, some people have found their relatives and friends among the people?

Their hearts had been gloomy and uneasy until Li Yu issued such an order, and then they all breathed a sigh of relief!

Yao Shouxin's face was grim! But seeing that everyone was taking action immediately, he could only sigh in his heart: Alas! What an ignorant child! Lan Yuxing will be destroyed in your hands!

Because of the huge power of the cannons, Xu Qiankun and others forgot the existence of the killing array. Therefore, they had some objections to Li Yu's abandonment of the bombardment. But when they heard the order issued by Li Yu, they remembered the existence of the killing array. Of course, they still doubted whether the killing array could stop the attack of the Taotie. However, since Li Yu withdrew the cannons into the Qianhuan formation, there was at least one last barrier! Therefore, they followed Li Yu's order and took active action!

When they saw the relieved expressions of the monks, they were all moved! They couldn't help but think: If Li Yu hadn't stopped them at that time, would these monks really fire? Even if they really fired, the shells might not hit the target, right? Maybe the leader's choice is the best choice!

Kuai Yiwen and the others had been watching coldly what had just happened. After all, it was an internal matter of Lanyu Star, and they were not in a position to interfere. But when everyone left, Kuai Yiwen could not help but complain:

"My friend! You really shouldn't be so stubborn! You should know that it is very likely that Lan Yuxing will be doomed because of your soft-heartedness!"

Li Yu did not answer immediately, but looked at the people who were being dragged here, and said in a deep voice:

"Senior! Do you know my past? I used to be a little beggar! A little beggar who grew up by eating at hundreds of houses! These people were my bread and butter, and I was once one of them! It was just by chance that I became who I am now! But what distinguishes humans from animals is that we should not forget our roots! They are our roots!

If I gave the order or condoned the firing on them, it would be slaughtering our loved ones and destroying our foundation!

Besides, we shot and killed them this time. What about next time? And the next time? Are we just going to keep killing them until all the creatures of the Blue Jade Star that they brought with them are killed?

So what is the purpose of our protecting the Blue Jade Star? Is it just for our own selfishness? I don't know what others will think, but my only purpose is to protect Blue Jade Star! Protect all the creatures on Blue Jade Star! If we can't even save their lives, what's the point of protecting them?"

Although Li Yu's voice was calm, it was deafening to Kuai Yiwen, Hou Rujing, and Luo Yupu! The three of them couldn't help but look Li Yu up and down, and they felt inexplicably moved!

Zhou Fulin and Xiong Ba felt their eyes sore after hearing this, and they became more determined to follow him till death!

"Okay! It's time for us to start preparing!"

Li Yu looked at the bandits of the Taotie Gang who were about to enter the killing formation with the common people, and said to them.

"However, these bandits are worse than beasts and are not worthy of being human!"

Zhou Fulin and Xiong Ba were both shocked when they heard Li Yu's cold words! It seemed that Li Yu was really angry! He didn't even plan to leave anyone alive! Of course, this made the two guys very excited! They immediately shouted:

"Don't worry, leader! As long as that blind thing meets me, I will never let him see the sun tomorrow!"

"Hey, hey! Today I can finally kill to my heart's content!"
