Chapter 682: Chapter 681: Control Measures
Unfortunately, the power of the Misfortune Pangolin was too strong.
However, just as those men were preparing to carve a bloody path out, a sudden roar echoed from nearby, and the entire sky was obscured.
"Demon Sky Monkey!"
Ye Fan was delighted. It was the Demon Sky Monkey, another one of the twelve great Evil Clan Divine Beasts, ranked alongside the Misfortune Pangolin. At their peak, they were both Main God Level powerhouses.
No, they were probably even stronger than Main Gods. Otherwise, the Demon Suppression Main God wouldn’t have failed to subdue a Misfortune Pangolin that was still in a weakened state.
The Misfortune Pangolin and the Demon Sky Monkey lashed out, roaring as they tore the men to shreds.
When the sky brightened again, all that remained was a pile of white bones and the three bound captives. Gui Hai Lion, Ximen Luolei, and Duan Defeng trembled as they knelt on the ground.
The Demon Sky Monkey licked his lips. He had the body of a man and the head of a monkey, his appearance when in human form.
"Master!" he said respectfully to Ye Fan.
Ye Fan laughed wildly. "Well done!"
He stood before the three men, who were now wailing and begging for mercy. Their status as Divine Generals could not change their fate. Just moments ago, in the blink of an eye, not even bones remained of their company of over three hundred men. If Ye Fan hadn’t ordered them spared, the three of them would have suffered the same end. However, surviving did not mean they were in for a good time. In fact, their current situation was anything but.
Ye Fan declared, "I told you this is my territory, but you refused to believe me and dared to provoke me. Even Main God Experts bleed to death here, let alone mere Divine Generals like you!"
At this, Ximen Luolei trembled and pleaded, "Please spare us, Great One! We are willing to follow you!"
"Yes, yes!" Gui Hai Lion and Duan Defeng hurriedly chimed in with flattery.
Ye Fan looked at them. "You want to follow me? Misfortune Pangolin, they’re trying to steal your business!"
"What? No one steals my master’s business from me!"
Furious, the Misfortune Pangolin swiped its claw, and half of each man’s face vanished.
Gui Hai Lion roared in anger, "If you have the guts, then kill us!"
Ye Fan despised Gui Hai Lion the most. He turned to the Misfortune Pangolin. "Cut his tongue out for me!"
"Gladly, Master. Cutting out tongues is my favorite," the Misfortune Pangolin smirked. However, before it could move, Gui Hai Lion let out a howl of pain as his tongue landed in the Demon Sky Monkey’s mouth.
"You dare steal my credit!" the Misfortune Pangolin snapped at the Demon Sky Monkey.
The Demon Sky Monkey retorted, "And why shouldn’t I? You’re just a pangolin."
"And you’re just a monkey!"
The two Evil Clan Divine Beasts were about to fight when Ye Fan quickly interjected, "Alright, that’s enough! No infighting."
At his command, they both immediately composed themselves.
Seeing Gui Hai Lion’s agonized state, Ye Fan was very satisfied. Huang Ji, standing behind him, knew that he had done this to avenge her.
At that moment, Ye Fan declared, "These three are an eyesore. They’re yours."
"Many thanks, Master!"
The Demon Sky Monkey and Misfortune Pangolin immediately pounced. The only sound was the men’s brief screams, and after they subsided, not even bones remained on the ground.
Ye Fan then said, "I am very pleased with your actions today. Therefore, I’ve decided to grant you two Elixir Pills."
"Master, what are these?" the Demon Sky Monkey and the Misfortune Pangolin asked, both oblivious to Ye Fan’s intentions.
Ye Fan explained, "These are no ordinary Elixir Pills. Although I can’t eliminate the Curse Power in your bodies right now, these two pills will alleviate half of your suffering! There will be more in the future!"
Hearing this, the two beasts repeatedly expressed their gratitude, swearing their undying loyalty to Ye Fan.
The truth was, it wasn’t that Ye Fan couldn’t help them. If he so wished, he could easily remove the Curse Power with the Divine Talisman Light. However, he currently needed these creatures to fight for him.
Ye Fan handed them the Elixir Pills. "Serve me, and in three hundred years, the Curse Power in your bodies will disappear.
"At that time, as long as you don’t act recklessly in the Divine Domain, I won’t interfere with your affairs!"
Hearing this, the two Asura Divine Beasts were overcome with gratitude. "Master, we will serve you to the death! Your business is our business!" they said respectfully.

On the road, Huang Ji said to Ye Fan, "Is this really wise? What will you do if you can’t control them?"
Ye Fan replied, "As long as the Curse Power remains in their bodies, they must submit to my control!" Because the Curse Power is their bane.
"Even without the Curse Power, as long as the Divine Talisman is within me, they won’t be able to make any waves. As I see it now, I’m very confident I can conquer the Outer Domain.
"What happened to the Outer Domain Main God back then will not happen to me!"
Huang Ji nodded. She knew Ye Fan’s methods for controlling the Outer Realm Evil Clan were impressive. If he conquered the entire Outer Domain, he would become the most powerful man in the Divine Domain.
After escorting Ye Fan to the outskirts of the Outer Domain, Huang Ji said, "My love, this is as far as I’ll take you. I will wait for your return!"
"Alright! I have ordered the Misfortune Pangolin and the Demon Sky Monkey to station themselves at the foot of your mountain. They can even hold their own against Main God Experts, so you won’t be in any danger!"
"Mm. My love, after you return, I must also go home. I will persuade my father to let us be together.
"At the same time, I will convince him not to be your enemy."
"Don’t worry," Ye Fan promised. "If you can’t convince him, then in any future confrontation, I won’t kill him, so long as he doesn’t go too far."
After a final farewell, Ye Fan left the Outer Domain. His cultivation was now infinitely close to the third major realm.
He knew that once he broke through the forty-nine minor nirvanas, he would become a Divine General. Ye Fan firmly believed that within three hundred years, he would have the power to vie for the rank of Main God.
***
Along the way, assassins from the Evil God were countless, and he was even pursued by Divine General level experts. Each time, Ye Fan barely escaped with his life. These days of desperate flight were hard on him. Still, it wasn’t the first time he’d been hunted, so Ye Fan had grown accustomed to it.
Upon arriving outside Evil Valley, Ye Fan was overjoyed. Once he reached it, no one would be able to touch him.
However, just then, a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky. Ye Fan began to panic, because the one person he most hoped not to see had just arrived.
This person was the Qin Heavenly Main God—a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
The Qin Heavenly Main God descended. "Well, if it isn’t Ye Tiancai," he said to Ye Fan. "I never thought we’d meet like this!"
His tone was amiable, but Ye Fan knew that since he had killed his son, Jue Wuqing, the Qin Heavenly Main God would never let the matter rest.
Ye Fan responded, "I didn’t expect to meet this way either, Qin Heavenly Main God. Why are you blocking my path?!"
"It’s nothing. I’m just here to invite you to be a guest in my Qinzhou," the Qin Heavenly Main God said calmly, showing no hint of murderous intent.
Ye Fan replied, "Your Qinzhou is vast and rich, far too grand for a mere ant like me. As for being your guest, that will have to wait for another time."
"Hmph! Now that I’m here, you’re coming with me whether you like it or not," the Qin Heavenly Main God said coldly. "Because if I so much as lift a finger, you will die without a doubt."
At this point, he made no effort to hide his cruel nature, his true intentions laid bare.
