Chapter 689: Chapter 688: Rumors Abound
Listening to the Red Sand Main God, the Evil Punishment Main God said, "If Little Junior Brother kills the Little God Monarch, I’m afraid those old monsters at God Monarch Palace won’t stand for it."
"That’s fine. We’ve already offended them, so I don’t mind offending them again. I think we should do something."
"What should we do?" The two of them looked at the Red Sand Main God.
The Red Sand Main God said, "Although Little Junior Brother is safe and sound in the Outer Realm, with our support, it’s enough to make the Evil God wary. However, the one God Monarch Palace truly fears isn’t us. As for the Outer Realm, no one understands how formidable it is, and we can’t speak about it. In that case, we can only rely on the Demon Clan."
"Yes, yes, of course! How could I forget such a key point?" Tu Shen exclaimed happily. "The Demon Clan is Little Junior Brother’s true backer! I refuse to believe the Seven-Colored Demon Empress would just stand by and watch her own man be targeted by God Monarch Palace."
The Evil Punishment Main God added, "Exactly. The ancient sages of the Demon Clan from Demon Mountain were powerful enough to contend with God Monarch Palace. Even though those sages have fallen, their souls and power remain!"
Having analyzed this key point, they asked, "Are you suggesting we ask the Demon Clan for help?"
"Not ask for help," the Red Sand Main God said. "We’re going to spread a rumor."
He was perfectly calm, having already planned everything out. "We can spread the word that Little Junior Brother is the Daoist couple of the Seven-Colored Demon Empress," he said. "As her man, our enemies will surely have to be more cautious!"
"What if the Seven-Colored Demon Empress denies it?" the two asked.
But the Red Sand Main God said, "Ever since the Seven-Colored Demon Empress helped Little Junior Brother at the Great Wilderness Arena, many people have been speculating. What they couldn’t possibly guess is that the Seven-Colored Demon Empress is actually his woman!"
The Red Sand Main God’s insight was truly vicious. No wonder he was a powerhouse who could stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the Great Wilderness Main God and the Hu Ben Main God. Even the simplest stratagem he proposed was despicably cunning.
However, Tu Shen asked, "But what if the Seven-Colored Demon Empress comes looking for us to settle the score?"
"Don’t worry," the Red Sand Main God immediately guaranteed. "If anything happens, I’ll take full responsibility!"
With the Red Sand Main God’s guarantee, what was there to fear? The two immediately set out and began to spread the news. However, this matter generated even more buzz than the last. To make a comparison to something from Earth, if the matter between Ye Fan and the Little God Monarch garnered tens of millions of comments, then the news about Ye Fan and the Seven-Colored Demon Empress received at least a hundred million.
What was more shocking, however, was that both incidents involved Ye Fan. He had become a celebrity in the Divine Domain—the kind who blows up overnight. Although he had been well-known before, it was nothing compared to this. He had transformed from an obscure genius into the most sensational figure in the entire Divine Domain.
When the news spread, the Seven-Colored Demon Empress was so furious she nearly coughed up blood. She knew Ye Fan would never have spread such a story himself. Since it wasn’t him, it could only be those few scheming old geezers backing him. Because of this, the Seven-Colored Demon Empress offered no explanation amidst the storm of public opinion.
She was already on her way to settle accounts with the three old men. To outsiders, however, her silence looked like a tacit admission. Who could have imagined that the number one beauty of the Divine Domain would become the Daoist couple of an unknown genius? In the eyes of the world, even Main Gods were considered unworthy of the Seven-Colored Demon Empress. How could she have so easily given her heart to a mere upstart?
In an instant, public opinion exploded.
At this point, the Evil Punishment Main God and Tu Shen both said, "The effect is incredible! Nearly the entire Divine Domain knows about it now."
"Hahaha!" The Red Sand Main God laughed. "I’ve just received more good news. It seems that the Great Wilderness Main God’s daughter, Huang Ji, is also involved with our Little Junior Brother!"
"After careful analysis, I’m certain the previous incident was orchestrated by the Great Wilderness Main God! That old coot is despicable!" Tu Shen said coldly.
But the Red Sand Main God said, "This is our chance for revenge. He likes spreading rumors, doesn’t he? Well, he won’t get to stay out of it this time and just watch the tigers fight from a mountaintop!"
"What other wicked plan have you cooked up?" The two of them gave the Red Sand Main God a malicious look.
The Red Sand Main God smiled. "Not a wicked plan, but I do have another stratagem!"
"What is it? Let’s hear it!" the two urged.
The two Main Gods could only think, Doing bad things feels great. It’s so damn exhilarating.
The Red Sand Main God explained, "We’ll simultaneously spread the word that Little Junior Brother and Huang Ji are involved. This will cause the Great Wilderness Main God to be suspected by the other Main Gods of the Evil God faction! It’s much better to have some of the attention on him than entirely on our Little Junior Brother!"
"Excellent! Leave it to me!" Tu Shen immediately flew off to spread this new piece of information. Instantly, it too propagated across the Divine Domain, and everyone began speculating about this legendary man. He was involved with the Seven-Colored Demon Empress, and now he was also involved with Huang Ji from the Evil God lineage? Was he trying to monopolize all the beauties in the Divine Domain? That was an incredibly audacious thought! The key was that he seemed to have succeeded. Wasn’t he afraid that the Seven-Colored Demon Empress and the Great Wilderness Main God would chop him to pieces?
In a flash, Ye Fan became the focus of the entire Divine Domain. But the fallout also dragged in the Great Wilderness Main God. Many of the other Evil God Main Gods turned their suspicions on him, which was a truly bitter pill to swallow. Some even began to suspect that he had orchestrated the deaths of the many geniuses back in the Great Wilderness Space.
When the Great Wilderness Main God held the two reports in his hands, he was so furious he almost coughed up blood. His hands trembled. The first report revealed that Ye Fan had another woman—the Seven-Colored Demon Empress, of all people! And he still dared to claim he was completely devoted? Fine. He could grit his teeth and tolerate that to keep the peace. But as for the matter with Huang Ji, he had already done the cleanup work. For it to be exposed again now was a complete and utter humiliation—truly unbearable! This time, there was no way he could clean up the mess, as many were already preparing to come and question him again.
He swore he would tear the person who spread the news limb from limb. But before that, he planned to deal with Ye Fan personally and teach him a lesson he would never forget.
However, when he arrived at Huang Ji’s residence, he found it empty. He asked the old man there, "What’s going on? Where is the Young Lady?"
The old man replied, "The Young Lady and the Young Master have already gone to the Outer Realm. Isn’t the Young Master supposed to fight the Little God Monarch to the death? They went ahead to the Outer Realm to prepare."
"Damn it!" The Great Wilderness Main God was consumed by rage.
Seeing his lord’s fury, the old man quickly asked, "My Lord, may I ask why you are so angry?"
"See for yourself!" The Great Wilderness Main God thrust the two reports at the old man. Upon reading them, the old man nearly staggered and collapsed. He knew that if Ye Fan were here right now, the Great Wilderness Main God would surely punish him severely. He couldn’t fathom how Ye Fan had managed to capture the hearts of both the Seven-Colored Demon Empress and Huang Ji, two of the most renowned beauties in the Divine Domain. But there was no time to dwell on it. His first priority was to dissuade his lord.
The Great Wilderness Main God roared, "Take me there! I’m going to the Outer Domain to catch that brat and tear him to shreds!"
"My Lord, you mustn’t!" the old man immediately pleaded. "The Outer Domain is entirely his territory. If you go, you’ll be at a disadvantage and could make things worse!"
The Great Wilderness Main God demanded, "Then what do you propose I do?"
