Chapter 691: Chapter 690: Meeting the Rival in Love
On the other side, the battle between the Red Sand Main God and the Seven-Colored Demon Empress continued. The Red Sand Main God could only barely defend himself, as the Empress was immensely strong. Moreover, he harbored guilt in his heart and dared not exert his full power. The fight among the five Main Gods was destined to cause a great disturbance.
"Seniors, please stop!"
At Ye Fan’s shout, they all stopped fighting. Ye Fan had only just heard about the matter and rushed over from the Outer Realm. He had been transported at top speed by the Demon Sky Monkey, and thankfully, the situation hadn’t gotten out of hand. Everything could still be resolved.
The Main God-level powerhouses stopped fighting and looked at Ye Fan angrily.
Damn! Don’t tell me they’re turning the conflict on me now!
Ye Fan was terrified. Facing the top experts of the Divine Domain, how could he not be? He was no match for any one of them, let alone all five. He feared that his attempt to mediate would fail and they would all turn on him instead. That would be a truly senseless way to die.
Fortunately, although they were angry, there was no killing intent in their eyes. This allowed Ye Fan to calm his nerves and say, "Five seniors, this whole situation is my fault. It was I who caused you to turn against each other. For that, I am truly sorry."
Since Ye Fan took the initiative to admit his fault, they couldn’t bring themselves to hold him responsible, and their tempers subsided.
In truth, the one who suffered the most was the Red Sand Main God. Not only was he bruised and battered, but more importantly, the Red Sand Immortal Mountain had been destroyed yet again. The Red Sand Immortal Mountain was truly ill-fated; it had no part in the conflict but had now suffered severe damage twice.
However, the Red Sand Main God wasn’t disheartened. He had obtained the Immortal Mine from the Outer Realm, so what was losing a bit of his foundation? As for getting beaten up, that was even less of a concern.
At that moment, the Evil Punishment Main God said, "Junior Brother, your battle with the Little God Monarch is imminent. Are you confident you can defeat him?"
Ye Fan replied, "I am confident, but the Little God Monarch is formidable. I will do my best."
"A battle between us is inevitable," Ye Fan added, showing his mettle. "The sooner, the better!"
His display of courage impressed the other Main Gods.
Then, Slaughter God said, "Little Junior Brother, I have a piece of advice for you. In this world, so-called dignity doesn’t count for much.
"If things really don’t work out, you can always retreat. I believe that with your abilities, getting away won’t be a problem. Don’t worry about being ridiculed. Besides, we’ve been ridiculed for thousands of years!"
His words, though harsh, met with deep agreement from the others. Indeed, what did it matter if they were mocked? Which Main God could claim they had never been ridiculed at some point?
What they truly valued was Ye Fan’s flexibility. He was more clear-headed than the Ancestor of Tianyuan had been. If the Ancestor of Tianyuan had withdrawn at the last moment, he would have escaped unharmed. Ye Fan’s ability to bend without breaking was precisely the trait they valued most.
Ye Fan immediately nodded. "Dignity is nothing compared to one’s life, but I will give it my all. If he truly proves to be invincible, I will retreat on my own!"
The other Main Gods nodded in agreement.
The Seven-Colored Demon Empress looked at Ye Fan with a particular gaze. The boy who once declared he would grow to be the strongest and make her see him in a new light... had now actually done it.
The Great Wilderness Main God said, "He has inherited the true legacies of those five old monsters and possesses their diverse traits. You must be extremely careful! Perhaps... I was truly wrong about all this." At this moment, the Great Wilderness Main God made no attempt to hide his mistake.
Ye Fan said, "It’s not your fault. Even before this, the Qin Heavenly Main God already tried to capture me and take me to the God Monarch Palace. The God Monarch Palace has likely been targeting me for a while. Your words just gave them a publicly acceptable excuse."
"What?"
None of them had expected that Ye Fan was already being targeted by the God Monarch Palace, much less that the Qin Heavenly Main God was the one sent to capture him.
Ye Fan said, "Exactly. I believe the God Monarch Palace wants to capture me for no other reason than to use me as a whetstone for the Little God Monarch!"
The others nodded, the cunning of the God Monarch Palace completely surpassing their expectations.
The Red Sand Main God said, "The five old fellows of the God Monarch Palace were severely injured in their battle with the Five Emperors. They absolutely will not make a move unless it is their last resort!"
"If they dare to lower themselves to come after you, then we are not to be trifled with!"
Slaughter God and the Evil Punishment Main God added, "Exactly!"
The Seven-Colored Demon Empress said, "You can rest easy on that point. With the ancient sages of my Demon Clan watching, they wouldn’t dare act rashly. You just focus on what you need to do. Even if you kill the Little God Monarch, they won’t dare to make a move—unless they no longer wish to live."
This was the very assurance they had been waiting for from the Seven-Colored Demon Empress. With her agreeing to intervene, their plan had succeeded.
At that moment, Ye Fan said, "Thank you, Zi Xuan!"
The Seven-Colored Demon Empress didn’t say much more. "I await your good news!" With that, she flew away.
The Great Wilderness Main God also spoke. "I am being watched by several other Main Gods, so I must leave as well. If anything comes up, just send word to me!" And with that, he too departed.
The three Main Gods offered to teach Ye Fan their ultimate techniques, but he refused. While it’s true one can never have too many skills, his own were already so powerful that he felt no need to learn others. In fact, his own techniques were already immense, even surpassing those of the three Main Gods. Learning theirs now would only be a liability.
After discussing matters with the three Main Gods, Ye Fan headed for the Outer Realm. He planned to prepare for a few months before his battle with the Little God King.
Although the pressure of the coming battle was immense, Ye Fan also felt a thrill of anticipation. To fight a true genius—that was the kind of battle he had always longed for.
In the Outer Realm, Huang Ji was playing ancient tunes on her zither in a small cottage within the main building. Ye Fan not only enjoyed her music but had also taught her many songs. These melodies were so incredible that Huang Ji herself would become completely mesmerized while playing them. Little did she know, they were not Ye Fan’s own creations. He had merely heard them during his time on Earth and was now using them here to impress beautiful women.
Just then, a radiant glow descended from the sky, revealing a middle-aged woman. Though her hair was white, she possessed a unique and striking beauty. The arrival of such a powerful and enigmatic aura left Huang Ji stunned.
With the woman was a little girl, Mu Keqing. Once a lively and cheerful child, she now radiated an absolute, bone-chilling authority.
The girl looked coldly at Huang Ji, who immediately sensed the danger. She hurriedly tried to summon the Demon Sky Monkey and the Misfortune Pangolin, but the surrounding area seemed to be sealed. Her summons would not go through.
The middle-aged woman said, "Apprentice, she is your training target. Kill her!"
"Master," Mu Keqing said coldly, "she is not only my training target but also one of the women who stole my man. She must die!"
The middle-aged woman said, "Very good. You’ve done well. Kill her to awaken your Phoenix Bloodline. Only through relentless battle can you better yourself."
Mu Keqing immediately descended, landing in front of Huang Ji.
Huang Ji asked, "Who are you?"
"Who we are isn’t important," Mu Keqing replied. "What’s important is that today, you will die without a doubt!"
Mu Keqing looked familiar to Huang Ji. After a moment of thought, recognition dawned on her. "You are the Red Sand Main God’s daughter!"
"Correct," Mu Keqing said coldly. "I’m honored that a prodigy like you still remembers me. I never expected he would forsake his very path just to be with you. I will kill you and make him suffer for the rest of his life, condemned to live in agony!"
From her words, Huang Ji realized who Mu Keqing was talking about. It was none other than Ye Fan.
She said to Mu Keqing, "Then I am at least more fortunate than you!"
"Why?" Mu Keqing asked.
"Because you aren’t the woman he truly sees," Huang Ji replied coldly. "Even if you kill me, you will only earn his hatred. You will never have him!"
Instantly, Mu Keqing drew her sword and said, "Then I’ll kill you first!"
