Chapter 543: Gratitude and Hatred

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Qin Fen initially thought that it would take five days to get Lin Liqiang and Enzo Rota to Saturn. He never expected that these two friends had actually already come to Saturn.

Caesar contacted Yang Lie immediately and got the news that Saturn’s military headquarters had moved within this short period of time. They rented a whole floor of an office building openly. But no one wore military uniforms — they wore ordinary clothing instead. They had also replaced military ranks with job titles like manager, director, etc. The Saturn’s military headquarters was moved to Haiwang city, which was located just next to Qiankun city.

Lin Liqiang received the coordinates sent by Caesar, and said very simply, “Go get the information and meet me over there.”

After he ended the holocall, Qin Fen looked at He Xiangu and Lu Dongbin. These two actually held high positions in the Elysium, since they knew a lot about how Lan Caihe became an insect warrior, they must know about the location for the Founding Society on Saturn.

“You…really…?” He Xiangu looked at Qin Fen and she asked in a worried tone, “You are really going to the Founding Society to get the information?”

Qin Fen looked at Du Peng who was in Du Zhanpeng’s arms; the friend who was with him since they were rookies. The reason why he is on Saturn today was not because of the order from the military headquarters, he came to Saturn for me!

My friends around me, they all contributed a lot to me. Some of them resisted their family’s arrangement, some of them abandoned the identity of being the family’s successor. They went everywhere with me without a single complaint, and they have been supporting me up to today! Their silent support is not at all less than the martial dao guidance I gave them.

Yang Lie is a genius, Caesar is also a genius, even Du Peng’s talent is very good! Even if they didn’t get my guidance on their martial dao, they’ll only need another ten or twenty-something years to break through the bottlenecks themselves.

For this, Qin Fen had never doubted his friends. They can do it!

“He came to Saturn because of me, and he’s in this natural cemetery forest because I came here.” Qin Fen looked at He Xiangu, “What would you do if Lu Dongbin is in the same situation as him?”

What would I do? He Xiangu looked at her lover affectionately. What else can I do? Even if there is only a one in a million chance, I would never give up.

Qin Fen waited for He Xiangu to look at him again, and he slowly nodded, “Then you should understand my feelings.”

He Xiangu turned to look at Lu Dongbin. The two Elysium’s experts looked at each other for a long time, and their eyes were filled with complicated feelings.

While the Founding Society was not an Elysium organization, it had a certain relationship with the Elysium. As the Elysium’s Eight Immortals, if they told Qin Fen more information about the Founding Society, it would be an act of disloyalty to the Elysium. More importantly, if the Elysium knew about this, there would be no excuse and the two of them would be severely punished!

For example, they would be chased after!

The Elysium was a strict organization. If they told Qin Fen about the Founding Society, it would be a betrayal to the Elysium. Lu Dongbin’s resurrection was a favor by Qin Fen for just the two of them, it had nothing to do with Elysium.

On the contrary, Tie Guaili and Han Zhongli were killed by Qin Fen. Elysium would not forget this kind of hatred.

To tell? Or not to tell? He Xiangu hesitated. Lu Dongbin softly embraced He Xiangu and he smiled very gently. He whispered to her, “We have to return this favor. As a man, and as a martial artist, I will need to return this favor.”

He Xiangu looked up at Lu Dongbin. It is not surprising for a martial artist of the ultimately fierce sect to make such a decision. If he doesn’t do this today, he will be as good as dead in the future.

There will always be a knot in his martial dao, and there will be no further progress for him anymore! Even if the life-or-death pill had the function to stimulate his inner potential, it wouldn’t have much effect on him at that time.

When one’s martial strength had been improved to the realm of a martial dao grandmaster, simply upgrading one’s star-level had not much meaning anymore. It required the coordination of different emotional enlightenment to achieve the core essential improvement.

“I know that it is a bit too much to ask for, for the two of you to provide me with the information.” Qin Fen looked at the two of them who just separated and said, “Both of you are Elysium’s senior executives. If you provide this information to us, you wouldn’t be able to explain this to Elysium. Am I right?”

He Xiangu ignored Lu Dongbin’s dissuasion and nodded hard. At that moment, she was not the He Xiangu from the Elysium, she was just Lu Dongbin’s woman. As a man’s woman, she must think on his behalf.

“You would be chased after?” Caesar asked softly.

He Xiangu nodded again. Even if they were Elysium’s senior executives, they would still certainly be chased after. If an organization couldn’t perform such execution, then no matter how strong they were, they wouldn’t be acknowledged by other divine beasts martial artists.

Qin Fen pondered, “I know that this may not be appropriate, but I do not intend to insult you; why do you have to stay in the Elysium?”

He Xiangu and Lu Dongbin laughed together, “That’s because our best friends were all in the Elysium.”

“Your friends?”

He Xiangu and Lu Dongbin paused a little and looked at Lan Caihe beside them. They suddenly felt low-spirited.

That’s true! Our best friends?The Elysium’s Eight Immortals… who else is left now? Cao Guojiu is already dead…. he was killed by the Emperor of Inferno. Lan Caihe has become what he is today. In order to enhance the combat power, the Elysium turned Lan Caihe into a monster even though they knew things would turn out this way.

Not everyone in the Eight Immortals was best friends to each other. The best friends of He Xiangu and Lu Dongbin were Cao Guojiu and Lan Caihe. Now, these two friends were not in the Elysium anymore.

“Qin Fen, I know what you want to say.” Lu Dongbin waved Qin Fen off and shook his head, “Don’t say it. Although we will leave the Elysium after this, we will never take refuge in Saturn’s military.”

Qin Fen heaved a sigh. Although he knew that there would be such an answer, he couldn’t help but wanted to persuade the two of them. Lu Dongbin and He Xiangu were powerful, and they were not bad people. If they could join Saturn’s military, it would be a win-win situation.

“After all…” Lu Dongbin looked towards the natural cemetery as if he was looking at the bodies of the Eight Immortals which couldn’t be seen at all. He seemed downhearted, “They were not our best friends, but they were part of the Eight Immortals. You killed the men from our side. If I were to join the military, I will feel sorry for them.”

He Xiangu nodded gently; this was the reason why she was unwilling to share the information of the Founding Society. Even if they shared the information, they couldn’t be part of Saturn’s military. Without some strong parties to cover up for them, it would be difficult for them to survive in Saturn even with their strength as the Eight Immortals. Elysium would never be soft on the traitors.

“Qin Fen, I will tell you about the Founding Society. It is to return the favor of you saving me.” Lu Dongbin straightened his back, “One day, whether it’ll be on Saturn or when we meet on the Ensemble of Heroes, I will avenge Han Zhongli and Tie Guaili!”

Du Zhanpeng was in the pain of losing his brother, but there were still glimpses of admiration on his gaze at Lu Dongbin. Under this condition, Lu Dongbin could still put everything out frankly. He was worthy of being a man! It was a pity that the future of this man had almost no hope at all. Although Elysium was not as strong as Qin Zhan, it was not too much of a trouble for them to finish off these two Immortals. Especially when these two were injured from the battle before; for now, they were not as strong as they used to be.

“Alright, I am ready anytime for the two of you to take revenge on me.” Qin Fen looked at Lu Dongbin’s eyes full of determination, and he made a decision. After finishing with the Founding Society, I will go all out to attack the Elysium, so they wouldn’t have time and energy to go after the two of them. This is to thank him for telling me about the Founding Society today.

Speaking of returning the favor, sometimes it’ll be your turn to do it; then, the next time, it’ll be my turn. Eventually, everyone will lose track of who is returning a favor.

Lu Dongbin patted He Xiangu, who was holding him, on the back of her hand, “I guess you don’t know Saturn well. Saturn has a lot of strange places outside of the bustling cities. Some are naturally formed, while others are formed by a combination of natural and artificial means. For example, this cemetery forest is a naturally occurring place. The location for the Founding Society is known as the Sicilian Mountain Range…”

Sicilian Mountain Range? Qin Fen and Caesar looked at each other and they were shocked. It wasn’t an unknown place, in fact, it was too famous! The highest peak on Earth was Mount Everest, which was located in the Himalayas. What about the highest peak on Saturn? It was Mount Tianwang, which was located in the Sicilian Mountain Range! It was well known as Saturn’s highest peak!

The towering peak had a height of seventeen thousand meters, almost twice the height of Mount Everest.

Such a mountain, even for someone who had never left the Earth, was well-known to everyone. After all, it was the highest peak of Saturn; although it didn’t even rank in the top twenty in the entire Federation.

“It seems that you know about this place.” Lu Dongbin gave a bitter smile, “Then you probably know it already: the base which was used by the Founding Society for turning Lan Caihe into the insect warrior, it is located in Mount Tianwang!”

Qin Fen found that when Lu Dongbin revealed the location of the Founding Society’s base as Mount Tianwang, Du Zhanpeng was not surprised at all. Chen Zhi, who was standing beside Du Zhanpeng, showed an admiring look; as if he was praising Lu Dongbin.

They knew it already that there is a base for the Founding Society on Mount Tianwang? Qin Fen glanced doubtfully at the martial dao masters next to Chen Zhi. They too were not surprised at all, and they gave a look of approval.

“As for the coordinates.” Lu Dongbin sighed, “I will take you there.”

“Dongbin…” He Xiangu muttered.

Lu Dongbin looked at He Xiangu and smiled softly, “We have already told them anyway, and we couldn’t go back to the Elysium anymore. So why should we care? Let’s go!”
