Free Web NovelChapter 629: Chapter 628: Gathering of the Strong
This man was Fu Hu, the most outstanding son of the Hu Ben Main God. He and Ye Fan exchanged a glance, and in that instant, they nearly came to blows, for they both sensed the other’s incredible strength. However, they both restrained themselves. Ye Fan thought, This man is fearsome. He’s actually a powerhouse of the Nirvana Nine Heavens. My own breakthrough speed is fast, but so is his. We’re on par. Shaking him off in a short amount of time will be impossible.
He shifted his gaze to the next person. She was a woman with a face as cold as frost and skin as smooth as polished alabaster—a rare beauty who exuded an unapproachable air, keeping everyone at a great distance. She was even calmer than Fu Hu. She and Ye Fan also exchanged a glance. Her strength was undeniably extraordinary, and her long hair flowed gracefully, like a fairy from the Nine Heavens. This was Huang Ji, the daughter of the Great Wilderness Main God.
Huang Ji’s power was also at the level of Nirvana Nine Heavens. In my eyes, she and Fu Hu are my archenemies in the Divine Domain, Ye Fan concluded. Absolute archenemies. I have no confidence I can defeat either of them. Of course, that’s a conservative estimate. We haven’t truly fought yet, so no one knows how strong the other really is. He now craved a battle. In his estimation, aside from himself, no one else on his side could possibly be a match for those two.
On another note, that kid Mu Chen Dong had actually achieved a breakthrough after his trip to the Gods Battlefield. His strength had already reached the Nirvana Eighth Layer Heaven.
Subsequently, the Great Wilderness Main God gave a few more introductions before concluding, "The genius exchange begins tomorrow. For today, everyone should go and rest! Here, no conflicts will be tolerated, regardless of who you are. It doesn’t matter if you are a Martial Artist from the Righteous Divine Lineage or the Evil God Lineage. It is not allowed! Once you leave this place, how you fight is none of my business! I hope everyone will abide by this rule. One last thing, a warm welcome to our guests from afar!"
"Hold on!" No sooner had he finished speaking than someone else spoke up.
Everyone turned to look and was shocked to see it was the Demon Clan. The Demon Clan had withdrawn from the genius convention two hundred years ago, so no one had expected them to appear this time. It was completely beyond their expectations, stunning both the Righteous Divine Lineage and the Evil God Lineage.
Furthermore, the newcomer was the Seven-Colored Demon Empress. She was known as the most beautiful woman in the Divine Domain, but her strength was just as formidable. Her aura was powerful enough to match that of the Great Wilderness Main God, the Hu Ben Main God, and the Red Sand Main God. Her arrival was completely unexpected.
The Great Wilderness Main God smiled and said, "So, it is our friends from the Demon Clan. A respectful welcome to the Supreme!"
"There is no need for such pleasantries," the Seven-Colored Demon Empress said calmly.
The other Main Gods began to buzz with discussion, wondering about the reason for her visit. The Great Wilderness Main God then asked, "And who might be the genius representing the Demon Clan?"
"I have only come to spectate this time, not to compete," the Seven-Colored Demon Empress stated. "Am I not welcome?"
"Welcome, of course you are welcome!" the Great Wilderness Main God immediately replied with a placating smile.
The Evil Punishment Main God knew that she was his junior brother’s old paramour... Ptooey, that word isn’t quite right. It should be his old sweetheart, he thought. And she’s only here to watch? Could she have come for my junior brother? With this in mind, he cast his gaze toward Ye Fan.
Ye Fan accepted the look with a composed nod. The Seven-Colored Demon Empress then turned her gaze toward their group.
Being looked at by the most beautiful woman in the Divine Domain caused both Mu Chen Dong and Wu Fa to blush, each assuming she was looking at him. But under her gaze, they found they couldn’t even lift their heads. At that moment, Ye Fan shoved the two fools aside and offered a smile to the Seven-Colored Demon Empress. She, however, merely glanced at him without any change in her expression before turning away.
The three of them continued to stare after her like idiots. Both Mu Chen Dong and Wu Fa knew that a celestial being like the Seven-Colored Demon Empress, who stood atop the Nine Heavens, was someone they could never hope to reach in their lifetime.
"Don’t look!" Mu Keqing snapped, stepping in front of Ye Fan.
Ye Fan was speechless. I’m just greeting my old paramour—ptooey—my old sweetheart. What’s the big deal? Why are you blocking me? However, seeing that the Red Sand Main God was also looking his way, he didn’t dare to act out of line.
As a woman, Mu Keqing was sensitive to such things. Just from the look that had passed between the two, she knew they had a history. Thus, she was jealous. The Red Sand Main God could only shake his head helplessly.
Everyone began to disperse, and the Main Gods also went their separate ways.
"Kid from the Ye Family, I’m going to kill you!" Mu Chen Dong finally exploded, throwing a punch at Ye Fan.
Ye Fan easily blocked it. "Are you out of your mind? What beef do you have with me?"
"You dumped all the blame on me! You ask what beef we have? I’m going to challenge you to a life-and-death duel on the stage!" Mu Chen Dong cursed. Only by experiencing what it’s like to be a scapegoat can one understand how agonizing it is. That feeling is worse than death.
"So it’s just about taking the blame? Besides, it was your sister who spread that rumor. Why are you blaming me? You were born to be a scapegoat!" Ye Fan shot back.
"Argh!" Mu Chen Dong nearly coughed up blood. He knew Ye Fan had said that loudly on purpose, as if afraid no one would hear. He lunged for Ye Fan, ready to fight. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
"Brother Mu, what are you doing?" Wu Fa immediately pulled him back. freёwebnovel.com
Mu Chen Dong shouted, "Brother Wu Fa, get out of my way! I have to duel him today!"
"Brother Mu, this is where you’re wrong," Wu Fa began, trying to mediate. "Look, we’re all on the same side. And Little Master Uncle has already been quite decent. He only made you take the blame! It’s not like he made you a cuckold or anything. I’d say you shouldn’t be so petty. Sit down and let’s all talk this over!"
Mu Chen Dong nearly collapsed. This was despair. This was true despair. He just wanted to beat these two senseless; each one was more infuriating than the last.
It wasn’t until Mu Keqing arrived that Mu Chen Dong reined in his fury. He doted on his younger sister and knew she liked Ye Fan. However, his hatred for Ye Fan had not diminished in the slightest.
Ye Fan then said to him, "I think you misunderstand me. I absolutely never meant to shift the blame to you. I feel very guilty about this matter and hope you won’t hold it against me. From now on, we should work together and fight as one. Our old rivals are very strong this time!"
Hearing this, although Mu Chen Dong was still furious, he felt powerless to do anything to Ye Fan at that moment.
"That’s more like it! We brothers should be drinking and making merry!" Wu Fa chimed in with a laugh.
Mu Chen Dong’s heart was still heavy. He said in a cold voice, "This matter isn’t over. After the Talent Conference ends, you and I are not finished!"
"Alright!" Ye Fan agreed immediately. "At that time, I’ll let you punish me as you see fit!" If you actually dare to punish me, I’ll definitely kill you! he sneered internally.
The three were about to go for drinks, but Mu Keqing appeared again. "You two, get lost!"
"Why?" Wu Fa protested at once.
"Yezi can’t be corrupted by you two," Mu Keqing declared. "So if you’re going to go mess around, don’t take Yezi with you!"
"This... Good heavens!" Wu Fa was exasperated. He would never believe there wasn’t something going on between Mu Keqing and Ye Fan.
"Humph!" Mu Keqing scoffed at the two of them, then took Ye Fan’s hand and led him away. Ye Fan gave a helpless wave. Wu Fa was left feeling dejected, but Mu Chen Dong was strangely relieved. As long as my sister is happy, that’s all that matters.
He turned to Wu Fa. "Come on, let’s go drink, just the two of us!"
"Alright!" Wu Fa replied, sighing helplessly. It had, after all, been a long time since he had seen Mu Chen Dong.
As Mu Keqing pulled Ye Fan along by the hand, she demanded in a frigid tone, "What is your relationship with that Fox Demon?"
"Fox Demon?" Ye Fan broke into a cold sweat. That’s an expert as renowned as your father, the Red Sand Main God! She might even be more famous! And you’re calling her a Fox Demon?
