Chapter 621: Chapter 620: Trial Opportunity
The Evil Punishment Main God hastily changed the subject. If he let Ye Fan torment him any further, life would become unbearable. So, he turned to Killing God and asked, "Is your godhood restored?"
"Of course," Killing God declared, his attitude firm. "My godhood is completely intact. I’m preparing to undergo my tribulation and ascend to the Main God realm!" Achieving the rank of Main God was his dream, and it had now become his immediate goal.
The Evil Punishment Main God was shocked. "Didn’t you say your godhood could never be repaired? How did it suddenly get fixed?" he asked, intensely curious.
"That was true before," Killing God said proudly, "but things are different now."
"What’s different?" the Evil Punishment Main God pressed.
Killing God explained, "Because I have a good Junior Brother. He used a peerless Immortal Mine to repair it for me and even gave me a drop of his essence blood! That’s how I became what I am today!" He was quite pleased with himself.
The Evil Punishment Main God was speechless. No matter how he tried to steer the conversation, it always came back to Ye Fan’s flexing. Sometimes it wasn’t even Ye Fan doing the flexing; Killing God was doing it for him! He wanted to curse.
However, this was also an opportunity for extortion. He turned to Ye Fan. "Junior Brother, do you have any more of those Immortal Mines? Give me a few!"
"Don’t you even think about extorting our Junior Brother!" Killing God snapped.
But the Evil Punishment Main God sent him flying with a single slap. Then, Ye Fan asked, "Senior Brother, how much do you need?"
This kid is unbelievably arrogant, the Evil Punishment Main God thought. How much? I want several! Does he think he can afford that?
Just as he was about to mockingly name a price, Ye Fan took out ten blocks of each type of Immortal Mine. Every single one was of the highest quality.
The Evil Punishment Main God was so stunned he almost fell to his knees. So it wasn’t arrogance, it was genuine wealth! He was immediately humbled.
"Is that enough?" Ye Fan asked.
"E-enough... quite enough," the Evil Punishment Main God stammered. He had suffered setbacks before, but never a blow to his pride like this! From now on, I have to keep a low profile around Ye Fan, he decided. I can’t handle this level of flexing!
Once they had recovered from the shock of Ye Fan’s display, the Evil Punishment Main God’s expression turned serious. "The case of our master’s persecution all those years ago... it involved far too many people."
Killing God and Ye Fan both turned to look at him. "Who was involved?" Killing God asked.
"The Evil God lineage was responsible for at least half of it," the Evil Punishment Main God stated. "And then there’s Qin Heavenly Main God. Although he was on good terms with our master back then, the evidence I’ve collected and sorted over the years has revealed the truth. I realized that his friendliness was mostly a scheme!" freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
At his words, Killing God erupted in fury, and even Ye Fan’s expression darkened.
"After I break through to the Main God realm, he’ll be the first one I kill!" Killing God roared. After all, the man they spoke of had been his beloved master. How could he possibly tolerate his master’s murderer?
"You’re being too impulsive," the Evil Punishment Main God said. "We’ve already waited so many years, what’s a little more time? This isn’t what we should be focusing on right now. Our priority is to help our Junior Brother grow!"
The Evil Punishment Main God’s words made Killing God calm down instantly. He was right. Right now, Ye Fan’s development was the most important thing. Nothing else mattered more. He nodded firmly. "Alright!"
It was impossible not to be furious, but he knew this wasn’t the time to fight Qin Heavenly Main God. Qin Heavenly Main God himself wasn’t the issue. The real danger was that a conflict would draw in too many other powers, which would implicate Ye Fan. That would be disastrous. Ye Fan was their only hope—the hope of the Heaven-Defying Divine Lineage. For now, they had to help him stay hidden.
The Evil Punishment Main God then said, "Little Junior Brother, our Heaven-Defying Divine Lineage has been dormant for far too long. A talent competition is coming up. I want you to represent my Evil Valley and participate! It will be a good chance for you to see the geniuses of the Evil God lineage and see for yourself how we measure up."
This was clearly an opportunity for Ye Fan’s trial.
Ye Fan nodded. "Senior Brother, I will bring honor to Evil Valley!"
"Good, very good. I like your unshakeable confidence," the Evil Punishment Main God said. "But remember, these competitions are treacherous. Just do what you can. Even if you fail, it doesn’t matter. It’s normal for a man to suffer a few defeats in his life."
Ye Fan nodded at once.
"My Evil Valley has one invitation," he added. "I was originally going to give it to my son, but I have more faith in you now." He started to hand the invitation to Ye Fan.
But Ye Fan interrupted, "Senior Brother, can you participate with a stolen invitation?"
"Stolen?" The two senior brothers were at a loss for words.
"Of course," the Evil Punishment Main God replied. "They only recognize the invitation, not the person!"
"Then there’s no need. I have my own," Ye Fan said.
He then produced his own invitation. It was identical to the one in the Evil Punishment Main God’s hand, leaving his senior brother utterly shocked. He hadn’t expected Ye Fan to have an invitation, let alone a stolen one. That was audacious.
"Where did you get it?" he asked. Killing God also looked at Ye Fan, his curiosity piqued.
Ye Fan looked slightly embarrassed. "Well, after I left Spirit Mountain, I was tempering my body with the Devil Clan Body Refining Technique when a few old guys tried to force me to join their Sect. They said they’d kill me if I refused. I was furious, so I killed a few of them on the spot. One of the younger guys managed to escape, though. He was good at escaping, otherwise he’d be dead too!"
The two were left speechless. This Junior Brother is no pushover.
Killing God asked, "What was that guy’s name?"
"Yan Xun!" Ye Fan replied instantly.
The two were completely floored. Yan Xun? That young genius was almost killed by Ye Fan? Our Junior Brother is truly heaven-defying! The Evil Punishment Main God felt utterly slapped in the face. He had just told Ye Fan to go see the gap between their lineages, only to find out Ye Fan had already gone and nearly killed one of their top talents.
"Junior Brother, be careful on this trip," the Evil Punishment Main God said. "The Spirit Taming Sect has always been petty, and you’ve humiliated Yan Xun so badly. I fear he’s bound to return with a vengeance this time!"
"Even better," Ye Fan said. "I hope he comes back for more. The next time I see him, I will definitely kill him! By the way, Senior Brother, is killing allowed at the talent competition?" he asked out of the blue.
The Evil Punishment Main God nearly spat blood. I get it now, he thought. My Junior Brother is the real god of slaughter here. freewebnøvel.com
He could only answer, "Killing is allowed, but you have to sign a life-and-death waiver!"
"Then there’s no problem," Ye Fan declared resolutely. "I must slaughter a few of their geniuses. Consider it my first strike against the Evil God lineage!"
The Evil Punishment Main God didn’t know how to respond. He had a strong feeling that the young geniuses of the Evil God lineage were in for a world of hurt. But that was exactly what he wanted. He could already sense Ye Fan’s terrifying, unstoppable potential bubbling to the surface, and that was a very good thing.
