Qin Fen has arrived on Saturn!?
The Black and White Impermanence nodded at the similarly surprised eighth Inferno king, King Dushi, on the projection screen.
King Dushi, the Eighth Inferno King, on the screen could not be considered handsome, but he had a kind of inexplicable masculine charm. He sunk into silence as his two long and straight white eyebrows slowly moved closer towards the center of his forehead. The corner of his slightly white lips stretched a little to both sides.
As far as Inferno was concerned, Solov wasn’t that important for them. A sixteen-star martial dao master was indeed a scarce resource but this martial dao master was also a military general. From the beginning to the end, he had been standing on two boats. Although he had said that he served Inferno better, who knew if he was leaving a backdoor for himself?
Politics was all about cliques. Someone who is standing on two boats would never gain real status, they would never be fully trusted by others.
Unconsciously, King Dushi’s right hand rested under his chin, supporting it as he thought about the problems at hand. Inferno can ignore Solov’s problems but absolutely cannot ignore Qin Fen’s problem! In the past few years, only two people among the younger generation have really risen from obscurity and gained a prestigious reputation: Qin Fen and Xue Tian!
As for Shangguan Chuanqi, or Young Netherworld King – Hades, or Yang Lie or any other, they had been the target of many people’s attention since their childhood. They cannot be considered to have risen from scratch.
It isn’t easy for young martial artists who have been given attention to truly make a name for themselves among the younger generation. Those who had never had any face can rise and become famous quickly. Their difficulties are more obvious and predictable. When they truly become famous, they will certainly be strong.
Qin Fen… Qin Fen…
King Dushi mumbled to himself.
Did he come to Saturn to take charge of the army? Or…
Contend for the divine beast title!
Many people could not help but associate the arrival of the group of young rising stars at Saturn at such a sensitive time with the competition of the divine beast title.
Join Elysium…
When King Dushi recalled Qin Fen’s threat conveyed by Black and White Impertinence, and he started agonizing. If these young men really joined Elysium, Inferno will truly have a headache. Maybe just one of them will be as valuable as Inferno’s Emperor but I’m afraid this group will not be any less inferior to the terrifying Inferno’s Emperor soon.
Should we accept Qin Fen’s request?
King Dushi shook his head again and again. This is Saturn, not Earth! Inferno is a behemoth the likes of which Zuo Dongting could never match.
Right at this moment, the phone started ringing. King Dushi immediately switched to conference mode, he didn’t put Black and White Impertinence on hold. This was Inferno, once one was verified, many secrets could be shared with him.
The man on the projection screen had a smooth and shiny head, and a dense beard and eyebrows, making the head appear even shinier. On the chest area of the black martial suit he was wearing sat a ‘判’ (Judgement) character written in bold letters.
King Dushi, I just got the news from an undercover agent in Elysium.
Oh? Is that so?
King Dushi looked at the man before his eyes with excitement.
Judge, is there something to be happy about?
Do you know Qin Fen?
The smile of the Judge’s face grew broader. King Dushi’s eyelids twitched immediately. Who would have thought I would receive another news regarding Qin Fen? It seems, as soon as Qin Fen appeared after his traceless disappearance, he instantly draws many people’s attention.
King Dushi nodded his affirmation. It was indeed very difficult to not know this young man. He was a young martial artist who was deemed able to compete for the title of divine beast title after an internal assessment. Every influence would pay attention to him.
Actually, Qin Fen has a vendetta with Elysium. Moreover, it’s a deep vendetta.
Judge’s face was all smiles.
Qin Fen bought a house once, which lead to a dispute with Elysium on Earth. He killed an Elysium’s martial dao master.
King Dushi’s mouth twitched disapprovingly. This was indeed a hatred but was not a deep hatred. If Qin Fen killed someone from Inferno, take Solov for instance, who was part of Inferno’s core strength, Inferno could solicit Qin Fen. They could just ignore what happened and move on.
This is just the tip of the iceberg.
Judge continued quickly.
Do you remember Lan Caihe?
King Dushi sneered very disdainfully. Lan Caihe is a disgrace to all strong martial artists. He actually died in the hand of two martial artists who hadn’t even achieved Blood Transfusion Rebirth. Never has any such thing occurred in the history of any martial dao master or martial grand dao master.
Do you know how the murderers of Lan Caihe are related to Qin Fen?
King Dushi was stunned. His eyes flickered with extra interest. He could not help but guess. T
hey wouldn’t be relatives, would they?
The Judge slowed down his speech.
One of the snipers killed by Tathagata was Qin Fen’s master.
Qin Fen’s master!?
The corner of King Dushi’s eyebrows twitched momentarily. That trivial sniper was actually Qin Fen’s master? This is really shocking! In light of Qin Fen’s act of fighting for soldiers’ pay on Saturn, this man is a very sentimental person. He is willing to fight with Inferno just for those special soldiers, who had laid their lives on Saturn, those soldiers, who he had never met. So, when his own master is killed, why would he not avenge him?
King Dushi broke into laughter as the grin on his face grew wider and wider. This is really a timely piece of news. Previously, we were in a passive position because of Qin Fen’s threat to join Elysium. But now!? This is a good opportunity! Not only can we refuse the five hundred million but now we can also pressure Qin Fen and the others to join Inferno and become Inferno’s blade.
Zuo Dongting’s death…
Judge, looking at the smiling King Dushi, continued,
Is also related to this matter. It was he who issued the order; he ordered those two on the suicidal mission to kill Tathagata. Therefore…
King Dushi nodded slowly. His pair of eyebrows waggled several times in pride.
Therefore, they killed Zuo Dongting, is that right?
Judge, come back immediately.
King Dushi turned his head, looking at Black and White Impermanence.
You two, call Ox-head and Horse-face and come with them. After three days, I will personally bring new soldiers to Inferno.
Black and White Impermanence nodded slightly at the same time before a worried look appeared on Black Impermanence’s face.
Is there really no need to notify other Inferno Kings? Judging by how much I have observed Qin Fen, I’m afraid…
Afraid?
King Dushi’s shoulders turned suddenly with the sounds of bone dislocations. A visible white mist appeared in the air around him.
Who am I? The eighth Inferno King, King Dushi! You think I am Zuo Dongting? Since those young men have a vendetta with Elysium, they will join Inferno if they are smart, otherwise…
King Dushi raised his hands gently as the flames flickering in the fireplace not far away turned into a unique ice sculpture in the blink of an eye. The powerful neo martial arts, Nitrogen Freezing Magic caused Black and White Impermanence to shiver. This is the terrifying strength of an Inferno King!
I will just kill them.
King Dushi had a calm smile on his face.
This is Saturn. And they are up against Inferno, something that is completely different from their previous trashy opponents. Since we know that there is hatred between them and Elysium, then we don’t need to be afraid of someone escaping by chance and joining Elysium when we are killing them. Without Elysium as a bargaining chip, they are just a bunch of youngsters with good strength and prospective futures, nothing more, nothing less.
King Dushi focused his gaze on Black Impermanence.
Or do you think that the lineup organized by me is not splendid enough?
Black Impermanence shook his head subconsciously. One of the ten Inferno Kings, King Dushi, plus Black and White Impermanence, Ox-head and Horse-face, and Judge as well. Instead of calling this lineup splendid, it would be apt to call it luxurious! This was without mentioning the fact that it was being used to deal with a few ignorant youngsters who had just climbed their way up on Saturn. Even Elysium would suffer a loss against such a lineup. None of these people were like that Solov, that Yaksha.
Okay, that’s it.
King Dushi turned off the communicator with the wave of his hand and returned to his own chair, a slight smile on his lips. If I can take these youngsters under my command, my influence in Inferno might grow bigger in the future. Even if I encounter an ambush of that mysterious Guanyin, my chances of surviving will also become greater.
Guanyin!
King Dushi narrowed his eyes until just a slit remained between his eyelids, a cold gleam radiating through it. He is but a mysterious martial artist like the Inferno Emperor. No one knows about his origins. Not many people have seen him. Old Nine and Old Ten, those two Inferno Kings have seen him, and they both died as a result of it, died under their own famous ultimate skills!
King Dushi’s room gradually dimmed down. He needed complete silence for the next three days.
Beep beep beep…
A series of ear-piercing rings sounded in King Dushi’s room as well as the military base almost simultaneously. King Dushi casually pressed the answer button.
A lieutenant colonel at the military base immediately picked up the phone, his expression changed in the next moment,
What? A new energy source might have been discovered!?
The soldiers in the room exclaimed at the same time. Even Solov, who was on the edge of life and death, had his eyes flickered with an excited gleam instantly.
New energy source!
Ever since Saturn and Jupiter mystically became solid planets, various research and mercenary teams started searching through these two planets from time to time, hoping to find some special source of energy or thing; if they found the reason why these gaseous planets turned solid planets, it’d also be good.
Thousand times better than the energy contained in plants!? True or false?
The lieutenant colonel felt his breathing grow a bit ragged. He looked at his colleagues and found a similar gleam in their eyes. Yang Lie and the others were also looking at each other with surprise.
Plant energy was new energy developed after the rapid development of human science and technology. It used wheat, soybeans, corn, and other crops to extract high-concentration energy. Under the same volume, it had five times more energy than petroleum. It quickly replaced petroleum as an extremely advanced energy source.
Thousand times stronger than the plant energy!? What kind of notion is this? Mankind traveling to farther distances will no longer be a dream! In the future, all kinds of scientific experimental techniques will no longer be empty talks anymore!
Report the specific location!
Lieutenant Colonel’s excited face turned stiff the next moment.
What!? You have already lost contact with the exploration team!? They entered the high magnetic field area a month ago, and since then, you can only communicate occasionally but unable to find the specific location!?
Solov’s excited expression dimmed immediately. High magnetic field zone… that place is also known as a natural cemetery. Almost all anti-interference electronic equipment will malfunction there. If they are still alive after acquiring the new energy source, then I can surely persuade Qin Fen and others to let me go…
Change it to the conference mode.
An interested Yang Lie took over the base and became the temporary spokesperson. Qin Fen stepped back quietly. He didn’t understand this. And since Yang Lie was interested, it was better to let him speak and make decisions.
The lieutenant colonel peeked a glance at Qin Fen and discovered that this lieutenant colonel of Earth did not have any qualms with someone taking over the authority, not in the slightest; his expression seemed to be telling that it was a matter of course. He even switched to conference projection quickly.
The female soldier in the projection might not be called a beauty but the neat and clean uniform brought an inexplicable beauty in her, that could easily incite the man’s inner desire to conquest her.
Sir!
The soldier was somewhat surprised to see Solov in the military department. She gave him a military salute before reporting,
The report isn’t complete. In the last message we received not long ago, there were two more things. Please listen to it yourself and check it…
A swathe of emerald green appeared on the projected screen, thick and dense tree everywhere. Judging by their appearance, it seemed as if they had been growing here for decades or even centuries, but Saturn hadn’t changed a century ago.
The occasional sunlight seeping through the dense foliage made this gloomy forest filled with mystical charm.
Did you see!? New metal.
On the screen, a captain wearing a spec ops uniform dug a fist-sized metal out from the mud. The metal appeared soft and orange. Judging by the Captain’s movement, the metal might look small but it was very heavy. The Captain held that piece of metal with some effort.
The Captain’s voice on the screen was very soft and low as if he was afraid of alarming some unknown danger that could emerge out of nowhere.
This is the new metal we just discovered. It’s found in the same location as the new energy.
The Captain took out a blue serrated knife, which was a grade higher than the blade forged from Phoenix Red Steel found on Mars. If ancient idioms were used to describe it, it could cut through iron like mud, slice the hair fluttering in the wind!
The Captain’s serrated knife cut the orange metal fiercely. But after dazzling sparks and grating noises of metallic-collision, not even the slightest trace of damage could be found on it. On the contrary, the blue serrated knife in Captain’s hand broke into two.
Did you see? Mystical, right!?
The Captain’s muffled words could not hide his excitement.
Everyone should be clear about my strength, I am in the nine-star level. This blade is so hard that I can’t break it using my strength but when I used it to cut the metal, the knife actually broke. Mystical, isn’t it?
Qin Fen nodded subconsciously at the sight of this. This was really mystical. The hard Mars Phoenix Red Vein Steel was not something a nine-star martial artist could break. Even if the captain tried to cut a huge piece of Mars Phoenix Red Vein Steel with a blade, he could only produce some sparks at most. His impact wasn’t enough for the knife to unable to withstand the force and break.
There are even more amazing things.
The captain carefully collected the broken pieces of blade.
We just researched it and found that this metal is very mystical. Its melting point for the first time is only one hundred and fifty degrees, at which it will turn into a golden molten. But after it cools down, it will not even melt even at one thousand five hundred degrees, not even the slightest bit.
Brooks peeked a glance at Xue Tian through the corner of his eyes before looking at the nearby Mourad with a smile. Judging by the hardness of this metal, it seems it can be used to make weapons!?
Xue Tian pursed his lips into a similar smile. His previous katana could be strengthened by infusing true energy but it could still be broken by powerful enemies. But if this metal was used to make weapons!?
Solov’s eyes glittered with excitement. If this metal is used to make cosmic warships, God knows if even divine beast martial artists could break them? Even if the divine beast martial artists could break them, can those martial dao masters keep on going in the face of this metal? Handing such a thing to the military would be a very meritorious deed! At that time, even the entire Federation might safeguard me! It might be impossible for Qin Fen to kill me no matter how much he wanted.
Who’s there?
The captain’s face on the projection screen changed suddenly as he turned back and let out a miserable scream. In the next moment, a rain of blood appeared on the screen; the captain’s throat was cut by something sharp. His mouth remained open and his eyes widened in shock. He was looking up, wanting to say something. But because his vocal cord was broken, he couldn’t make any sound.
Qin Fen frowned as he focused his gaze at the opening and closing mouth of the Captain, reading his lips carefully.
Monster… monster… monster…
The projection came to a halt as the female soldier appeared before everyone with a helpless look.
This is how it is. We know that there is a new energy source that is likely to replace the plant energy at the natural cemetery. At the same time, there is also a very mystical metal there, but the exact location cannot be guessed accurately.
Got it.
Yang Lie waved his hand and said calmly.
Send this video here, you don’t need to back it up there, delete it directly.
The soldier looked stunned. She turned to Solov, looking at the highest-ranking officer on Saturn in doubt.
Yang Lie turned his gaze at Qin Fen, his lips twitching a few times. Qin Fen immediately glared at Solov. And Solov, who had wanted to straighten his chest, said dejectedly,
Do according to what he said.
After the projection ended. Yang Lie rushed into Solov’s office, operated the computer to receive the data, then he said to Qin Fen without raising his head.
These things need to be researched very thoroughly. Although they are metal and energy, I believe Young Master Lin and Yin will be very interested. Qin Fen, ask Solov to hand over the base command. I cannot use many of the systems here.
Solov looked at Qin Fen, puzzled. Who exactly is the leader of this team? Qin Fen was giving orders before but now, why do Yang Lie’s words not have the slightest intention of asking the superior in the blink of an eye? Every sentence seems to be a command to Qin Fen!? Can they order each other? Is there any leader at all? What kind of team is this?
