Chapter 504 - Strong Rise (1/2)
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 ]
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?”
