Chapter 383: Discussing compensation

The location of the Heaven-defiers Organization.

In the dark shadows, several pairs of eyes of different sizes were hidden.

A group of beings chatted on and off, all waiting for Li Lun to bring Shen Qing.

Although the wait was a bit long, no being felt anxious, after all in this third realm there is no concept of time—each living being has a lifespan of at least a hundred thousand years.

Suddenly, a scorching golden light flashed in the distance, drawing the gaze of all Heaven-defiers—after all, in this dim realm any point of light looks especially dazzling.

Each Heaven-defier's face showed strong interest.

A one-eyed giant roughly a hundred meters tall showed strong curiosity.

"What a powerful physical aura! It seems a remarkable figure has arrived!"

The being beside also spoke: "It's not in vain that we waited so long; finally another powerful being has come!"

"Cha'ersi! You didn't even mention earlier that such a powerful figure had arrived!"

Cha'ersi began to doubt, as what Li Lun said didn't match.

"Wasn't he supposed to be just a controller of causal power at the third level of the Saint Realm? How is his aura so overbearing?"

Some beings also doubted, speaking: "No, judging by his aura he seems to be in battle."

"Why did a fight break out at our doorstep? Have rebels come?"

"Impossible, rebels couldn't possibly come here no matter where they went."

"Then how did the fight start?"

"Just go see and you'll know."

"Let's go, let's go, let's go!"

A group of strangely shaped beings quickly advanced toward the direction where the golden light erupted.

And the dwarf Cha'ersi's forehead began to sweat, because he didn't see the giant dragon Jiefuli among these beings—if there's no fight, it must be Jiefuli, right?

"No way?"

Those present with the weakest strength were all people who had blazed a new trail; before long, everyone had rushed to the battlefield.

Just upon arriving at the battlefield, they saw an extremely shocking scene.

The giant dragon Jiefuli, several hundred meters long, was held by Shen Qing like a dead dog; sensing the arrivals, Shen Qing glanced back at the Heaven-defiers.

A snake-headed being and an elf-like woman shouted loudly: "Jiefuli!"

Lilun had said before that the Heaven-defiers were also divided into small groups.

And this snake-headed being and the elf woman are members of Jiefuli's small group.

The two hesitated no more, directly attacking Shen Qing in an attempt to rescue Jiefuli.

Just as they started, they were blocked by two people—namely the Martial Emperor and Shen Wendao.

The Martial Emperor stretched out his hand and drew a blood line in the dark void: "Cross this line and you'll die."

The one-eyed giant spoke: "Wasn't it said there was only one person? How come there are two now? But how bold—I like it."

Someone also shouted: "Suo Sheng, stay focused, don't lose points!"

"If he won't let you go, will you just not go?"

Suo Sheng is indeed the name of this snake-headed being.

Suo Sheng gritted his teeth and was about to step forward.

The Martial Emperor chuckled: "Truly, one won't shed tears until seeing the coffin!"

Immediately after, a devastating slaughter domain began to spread, its terrifying aura causing all Heaven-defiers to restrain their smiles.

Even the one who had been stirring the pot fell silent.

Because they realized the Martial Emperor wasn't joking—he really could kill Suo Sheng.

As the tension mounted, Lilun came to stand between the two sides.

"Stop!"

"These few are all the people I brought back!"

The dwarf Cha'ersi stepped forward, his expression now grim.

"The people you brought back? You said there was only one person!"

Lilun said: "I didn't come back just to show off a big one for you guys."

"You have no idea how exhilarating my journey this time has been!"

Just one trip out, I wiped out the heretical clan, plus three rebels and one who destroyed the Heavenly Dao—indeed I have the capital to brag.

The snake-person Suo Sheng said grimly: "Even if they're the ones you brought back, does that give you the right to attack us at will?"

As expected of a snake, a treacherous creature, with just one sentence it pushed Shen Qing and the others onto the opposing side of the Heaven-defiers.

Lilun snorted coldly: "If you're going to act, then ask Jiefuli—it was he who provoked this."

Suo Sheng narrowed his eyes: "You're many; whatever you say is always right—do you have any evidence?"

Lilun laughed loudly: "I've been waiting for you to say that; if anyone else came, they'd really get stuck by your stubborn plaster, but have you forgotten what supreme power I am?"

"My power is dream power! I can project my memories!"

Saying this, Lilun raised his hand, using dream power to weave a picture, playing back the full scene of Jiefuli from appearance to the start of the fight.

This directly left Suo Sheng speechless.

Isn't this just Jiefuli bringing it upon himself?

Emotionally and logically, they have no reason to help Jiefuli.

Every being present has fought their way up from a low realm, so they don't have much sentiment to speak of; moreover, it's now obvious that the three individuals Lilun brought back are explosively strong.

It's obviously not worth offending three powerhouses over a fool.

The one-eyed giant spoke: "Obviously Jiefuli brought this on himself; we're too lazy to bother with it."

If Suo Sheng wants to save Jeffrey, you go yourselves.

Suo Sheng looked at Jeffrey, then at the Martial Emperor, weighed the pros and cons, and finally stepped back, saying nothing more.

Just then, Shen Wendao spoke.

Wait, is this matter just going to end like that?

Li Lun, I want to know which person in the Heaven Defiers you've been in contact with. Jeffrey obviously came for Shen Qing. Does that mean you just sent Shen Qing's news back to the Heaven Defiers, and that person then sold Shen Qing's information?

As soon as those words were spoken, everyone turned their gaze to Charles.

Charles is the Human Resources Director of the Heaven Defiers.

Charles's mouth went dry: "I didn't expect Jeffrey to be this extreme."

There's no need to make a big deal out of this, right?

Shen Wendao let out a cold laugh: "Making a big deal out of nothing? Today you could give Shen Qing's news to Jeffrey; tomorrow, couldn't you give our news to others?"

"Let's go; the Third Layer World is vast, and we will surely find a place to stay."

Shen Qing snorted coldly and directly crushed Jeffrey's head.

Just then, a deep voice came from the void; it was Zero's, and he spoke.

"Please halt!"

All the Heaven Defiers fell silent; evidently, the arriving beings have considerable background.

Zero spoke, his voice showing no emotion: "What he said is correct. Charles, what qualifications do you have to tell others Shen Qing's information?"

"In our Third Layer World, information is life. Are you treating this too lightly?!"

"Go to Mount Wuliang and seclude yourself for a thousand years."

Afterward, Zero only spoke.

"Several of you, indeed we were not thorough enough."

"But if we talk about strength, in the Third Layer World our Heaven Defiers are also top-notch. We have accumulated endless ages of knowledge that will be very useful to you, and I can sense that you are strong. Leaving would be a loss for both sides."

The Heaven Defiers around looked at the Martial Emperor and the two of them, their gazes turning utterly solemn; to be called strong by Zero's words is truly extraordinary.

Afterward, Zero spoke again.

"Shen Qing, right?"

"Follow me, let's discuss compensating you."
