Chen Fan hadn't expected that the grand gift he'd unintentionally intended to present to the Divine Hall would ultimately serve such a purpose.
"Where is Ge Jun?"
Luo Sheng waved his hand reassuringly. "His injuries were lighter than yours; he woke up long ago. He's now with Miss Tong in the rear, tending to those cultivators."
"Together?" Chen Fan raised an eyebrow. "Since when did he learn medicine?"
Luo Sheng also raised an eyebrow. "That depends on the person. With you, he naturally wouldn't learn, but with Miss Tong, even if he didn't know, he'd have to learn."
Chen Fan truly had no idea when Ge Jun and Tong Yan had established this kind of relationship.
"Right!" Luo Sheng suddenly remembered something. He walked over to a safe, retrieved a small, square box, and handed it to Chen Fan. "This is something Yin Ping specifically instructed me to give you. He said it must be handed to you personally."
Chen Fan frowned and opened the box. A faint blue light spilled out, and he immediately recognized what it was! It was the gem from the Scepter of Gravity.
Luo Sheng smiled and explained, "The Pope is dead. The Scepter of Gravity he held fell to the ground and shattered, leaving only this Gravity Pearl. He said you could use it."
Naturally, he could use it. His trip to Europa was for this very item! Chen Fan let out a long sigh and tucked the Gravity Pearl into his pocket.
"Where is Yin Ping?"
Luo Sheng pouted. "Because of this great battle, someone put up a slogan saying 'It's better to rely on yourself than on gods.' A mercenary craze has swept through all of Europa. The number of people coming to sign up for mercenary selections at Dark Fox is so high, they're almost trampling down your headquarters' door!"
"Yin Ping is overwhelmed at the moment and is waiting for you to wake up so you can help."
Chen Fan paused, then shook his head at him. "Just pretend I didn't wake up." He found such matters tedious and noisy and had no interest in participating.
"Pretend who didn't wake up?"
As soon as Chen Fan finished speaking, another voice came from the doorway. The door was pushed open from the outside, and Ge Jun entered.
Chen Fan looked at him, somewhat surprised. "Weren't you with your woman?"
"What woman!?" Ge Jun shot Luo Sheng a disdainful glance. "That's not even a done deal yet."
Luo Sheng smiled and waved at him. "Sooner or later, sooner or later!"
"It's my trust in your capabilities!"
Alright. Luo Sheng looked at Ge Jun, who was still frowning, and with a keen sense of discretion, gestured outside. "I suddenly remembered Luo Men has some unfinished business. I'll take my leave now." With that, he turned and left, regardless of Chen Fan and the others' reactions.
"This kid." Ge Jun casually retracted his gaze, a hint of a smile in his eyes. He found a place to sit and asked, "What are your plans now?"
Chen Fan pursed his lips. "To save someone."
Ge Jun had never heard Chen Fan mention this before and was somewhat surprised. "Save whom?"
Chen Fan's eyes softened slightly. "My beloved."
Ge Jun was taken aback, then nodded. "If you need any help, don't hesitate to ask." Chen Fan softly acknowledged this, indicating he had heard.
Seeing Chen Fan's reluctant expression to elaborate, Ge Jun changed the subject. "What happened with the Pope?"
Chen Fan knew he was referring to the matter of the vital points. His gaze fell upon a small booklet on the table. It was likely that when Yin Ping brought him back, he had assumed it was Chen Fan's personal item and set it aside.
Chen Fan nodded at Ge Jun. "The day we were about to fight the Cold Ice Blood Dragon, I accidentally pocketed this thing as well. It's the Pope's secret cultivation technique. He used the cultivation of others as nourishment, supplementing it with blood and bone. It wasn't as solid as those who ascend step-by-step through righteous cultivation. He claimed to be at the Supreme Realm, but his foundation probably hadn't even reached mid-Divine level." *Da Feng Novel Network* "This book annotates some of his vital weak points. I saw it unintentionally before the big battle; it was an opportunity."
Ge Jun looked surprised, then agreed, "Even heaven couldn't stand his wicked deeds anymore."
Chen Fan was noncommittal. In that fleeting moment of silence, he suddenly felt a tremor from the stone token in his embrace! News of a divine artifact!? Chen Fan's eyes lit up, and he immediately poured his divine power into the stone token to sense its message—Across the vast ocean! Dameria!
Chen Fan immediately stood up from his seat. "I need to leave."
Ge Jun looked at Chen Fan in surprise. "So suddenly?"
Chen Fan thought of Su Yingxue, a soft light flashing in his eyes. "I can't let her wait for me too long."
"Aren't you going to say goodbye to Yin Ping and the others?"
Chen Fan chuckled. "I'm not good with those kinds of farewells, so I'll pass." He added, "Just tell him for me, not to forget his original intentions." He didn't want Dark Fox to get lost on the path of power as its influence grew.
Seeing that his decision was made, Ge Jun didn't try to persuade him. In this regard, they were quite similar; both were spontaneous and decisive. If Luo Sheng had been in Chen Fan's place, there would have been much weeping and pleading. Chen Fan smiled and patted Ge Jun's shoulder. "We'll meet again if fate allows."
Ge Jun stood up. "Let me see you off." He paused, then asked Chen Fan, "How do you plan to leave?" At this time, there were no planes flying in Europa.
Chen Fan paused, then a smile appeared in his eyes. "The port, by boat." He had originally been drawn into the storms of Europa through the incident at the port of Vik party. Leaving from the port now, to bring this to a close, felt like a fitting end.
