East Asian Zuo Dongting Is Dead!
In today’s era of advanced technology, the news spread quickly to every nook and corner with a certain level of influence. Almost everyone was shocked to the core when they received this news. Sleeping Lion, Zuo Dongting, who had the strength of the eighteen-star level, who practically had the entire continent of East Asia in his palm, who stood to Snake King – Du Heng as equals, was actually dead!
That bunch of seemingly mischievous young men fought this decisive battle in Sahara!
The subjugation of four families of Europe and America, which might either be a result of kinship or a full-force attack, may have dazzled various influences of Federation but they had not really put Qin Fen and his group into that high of a position. If the four families had really fought back, no one would be optimistic about this team of young people.
When everyone came to know that they had angered the Sleeping Lion, a powerful expert with a vast level of influence, everyone was even less optimistic about their ending.


However, in this battle… under Xing Wuyi’s guidance, in a situation where only Zuo Dongting alone came to fight, the entire Zuo Family was taken down in one fell swoop.
By killing Zuo Dongting, Qin Fen and the other immediately became everyone’s focus of attention. Various influences began to re-evaluate Qin Fen’s and his team’s future prospects; they immediately made various measurements. Caesar and the other’s families became the four busiest families on Earth in a flash. Almost all the upper-level influences began to contact them.
In this battle, Zuo Dongting’s death caused various influences to truly feel that Qin Fen and his team might indeed have the potential to conquer the world in the future.
At almost the same time, Earth’s families and forces with branches in Saturn had also received a piece of shocking news, Saturn’s Inferno Emperor killed one of eight Elysium’s immortals, Han Xiangzi!
Apart from Elysium’s Jade Emperor, Tathagata, Guanyin, Monkey King, Erlang Sen, Nezha, the strongest were the eight heavenly immortals! Although Han Xiangzi might not have been prominent among the eight immortals, he could not be underestimated. Apart from the strongest of the eight immortals, Lu Dongbin, he was on par with He Xianggu.
[TLN: Elysium is just a replication of heaven’s court from Chinese myth. Most of you might be aware of their names, if not, just a simple search will give you a description of them. And as for eight immortals, you can check it out here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eight_Immortals]
Inferno’s Emperor: the mysterious Inferno’s Emperor. Rumor had it that Shangguan Chuanqi might very likely be Inferno’s Emperor! This news had caught a bit of everyone’s attention.
In the Sahara desert, Xing Wuyi, looking at the departing Du Hen, swept his gaze toward the angrily roaring Zuo Lin and asked Qin Fen,
What should we do with Zuo Lin?

As Qin Fen looked at the roaring Zuo Lin, he recalled the late Lee Myeong-Jeong. Weak martial strength doesn’t mean that he does not pose any threat. Even if he can’t threaten me, what about the people beside me?


Kill him…



Crack..
.
A series of bones cracking sounds rang from Zuo Lin as Du Peng raised his hand, paying no heed to Zuo Lin’s rupturing body. The Immortal Thunder Art he had inherited from Du Zhanpeng was enough to blast anyone into nothing; there was nothing left to discuss.
Qin Fen took the headset from Xing Wuyi and said in a gentle voice,
Lin Ling, discard the weapon and come back.

Xing Wuyi looked at Qin Fen.
What’s next?

Qin Fen looked at the dazed Butcher.
Send my instructor back to Australia, then notify the forces that had been indirectly offended in this war through various channels that if they want revenge, they can look for Qin Fen. At that time, I will talk with them face to face, if they make a move on my friends and families even in their sleep, their ends will be no different than the Zuo Family’s.

Xing Wuyi shrugged his shoulder as if it was a matter of course.
Qin Fen, supporting the somewhat dazed Butcher, whispered in his ears,
Instructor, you used to protect me. So, from today on, let your disciple protect you.

Butcher’s eyes regained a bit of clarity. He looked calmly at Qin Fen for a while, then he patted Qin Fen’s shoulder without saying anything, walking quietly back to the Secretus class S-level battleship.
Xing Wuyi immediately forwarded a list to Caesar and the other three families, bearing the names of the forces that had indirectly offended them in this war. The four families would pass on Qin Fen’s words.
Only, Qin Fen’s words weren’t passed on as they were; Xing Wuyi had added a lot more apart from Qin Fen’s words. We don’t want to be hostile to you. We should put the past behind us and look forward to the future, shouldn’t we? We hope to have the chance to develop Saturn’s resources with everyone and share the fruit of cooperation.


Words that coupled hardness with softness, there were threats but lures as well! Xing Wuyi knew clearly that if you gave only temptations to these families, they would treat you like a soft target. And if you just threatened them, though they won’t do anything on the surface, it would be difficult to guarantee that they won’t do anything behind the back.
Carrot and stick might be a very, very old-fashioned policy but Xing Wuyi didn’t care whether it was old or new. In the opinion of really smart people, if a strategy was used a hundred times, then there was really no need to opt for a second strategy; choosing the most efficient policy was the smartest move.
Xing Wuyi put away the machine and turned his gaze at Qin Fen once more.
And now?

Qin Fen groaned slightly and said calmly, gazing at the far north,
Arctic.


Back to the North Pole?

The eyes of several young martial artists lit up at once. It was indeed a very, very good place, especially with the various experiences provided by Qin Fen; it was the perfect place to train.

Mhmm! Back to the North Pole.
Qin Fen nodded hard.
I must go to Saturn. I have decided to go to Saturn to fight for the title of a divine beast! As a martial artist, if you don’t have a divine beast title, anyone would dare to provoke you. Divine beast! Only by getting the divine beast title can I keep me and my friends safe. I think a trip to the North Pole before going to Saturn is a must.


North Pole!? I am not going.
Xue Tian scratched his head.
I am going back to the Sacred Martial Hall. I have learned a lot of skills in this outing. I plan to go back and pursue Gandharva. When it’s time to leave, give me a call, call me.

Everyone smiled. Xue Tian might have proclaimed that he was going back to pursue Gandharva but it wasn’t that easy to pursue one of the three great beauties of Sacred Martial Hall. Perhaps the moment he stepped foot in the Sacred Martial Hall, he would be asked by the Six Stars of Sacred Martial Hall and Wu Zun to discuss some of martial arts problems before he could even start his hot pursuit of love.
Xing Wuyi shrugged his shoulders.
I am going to the Yang Family and live there temporarily.



Everyone nodded without objection. Xing Wuyi’s forte wasn’t his martial strength. It would be better to let him go to the Yang Family rather than taking him to the North Pole. There, he could deal with various forces and develop the pioneering forces by utilizing the strength of the Yang Family.
The rest didn’t make any request. The Secretus class S-level battleship rose into the air and flew, almost flying around the Earth as it dropped people off one after another before picking Kyokushin Genichi from Tianbei and flying back to the Arctic.
Everyone stayed in the cold Arctic, where snow and ice blew all year round, for one month. When Young Dragon King, Yang Lie looked up at the sky and smiled one day, everyone left the Arctic, a restricted area for humans.
Iceland, it’s the country with the biggest cluster of volcanoes on Earth. There are more than a hundred volcanoes here. The boiling magma bubbled furiously in one of the craters non-stop like a kettle of boiling water, spewing volcanic ashes from time to time.
Caesar walked in this crater, sometimes stopping to watch the boiling magma and sometimes to admire the surrounding scenery.
In another month, only Lu Dongbin, Li Tieguai, and He Xiangu of the eight heavenly immortals of Elysium were left; the other four immortals had been killed by Inferno’s Emperor.
At the same time, Inferno’s tenth king, King Zhuanlun and eighth king, King Dushi were killed by Elysium’s Tathagata.
God knows when the situation of Saturn turned so intense with the sudden rise of the Inferno Emperor’s strange army. All the major forces of the planet were feeling the pressure.
Venus’ Young Hades was still lingering about Venus even under the joint encirclement and suppression of the three former constellation warriors. He ambushed this and that just about every day like a terrorist, but no one dared to underestimate his strength. White Tiger’s son acted very ruthlessly, he never left a witness; only bloody words were left as very proof of his identity.
Death to the traitor! Young Hades


In two months, Inferno Emperor and Young Hades acted successively, shocking the major forces again and again. Their rapid movement gave everyone the feeling that the ones with the best chances to become the divine beast martial artist among the younger generation were these two.
The major forces found it very strange that Qin Fen and his rising team had disappeared just like that even under such a fierce battle situation! Are they really keeping calm? Or have they grown timid, not daring to go to Saturn?

Tibet, the Himalayas, the holy mountain of ice and snow.
Several youngsters climbed the mountain from different directions in simple clothes, quietly and slowly. It had been three months since Zuo Dongting was killed, and it had been one month already since they had entered Zhongzhou.
Without any car or any other means of transportation, not even a super film on the body, everyone walked on their two legs like an ascetic monk. They kept a tacit understanding without even having seen each other.
If one was thirsty and was in a city, he would go to the pool in the square to drink a cup of clean water. If one was hungry, he or she would put their strength to use in exchange for food.
If one was thirsty and was in the mountains, he or she would search for a spring or collect the dew in the early morning.
Everyone had discarded everything. They did not use martial arts deliberately. They had truly discarded and forgotten everything to be as close to heaven and earth as possible.
At first, everyone restrained themselves from using martial arts. But with the passage of time, everyone had really forgotten their martial arts.
It was true for Qin Fen as well. He walked like that every day, without thinking about anything, not even martial arts. Even in his sleep, master and the others never appeared. They seemed to have disappeared altogether. Apparently, he had entered a special state.
No one cared about martial arts, let alone any news regarding the martial arts world. Whether it was related to Saturn or Venus, no one cared even the slightest bit.
