Chapter 1597 - 1574: Fame Built on Deceit?

"And this news also says that the Ling Family Dark Guard Hall went out in full force, ran into the four great branches of the Evil Martial Sacred Land, and in the end, after one battle the Ling Family Dark Guards were slaughtered so badly they were left in total disarray. More than half were killed or injured, the ones still alive were all captured by the Evil Martial Sacred Land, and even the Dark Guard Hall’s Hall Master Ling Dongfang and Vice Hall Master Ling Ming were forced to kneel before the Evil Martial Sacred Land, begging the Hall Masters of the four great branches for mercy!"

"Damn, could Old Divine be deliberately standing up for Ye Huan, hyping him up on purpose, is that why he said that? Ye Huan facing the four great branches of the Evil Martial Sacred Land all by himself—doesn’t that mean Ye Huan’s overall strength can be compared to the entire Ling Family Dark Guard Hall?"

"This is way too over the top, alright? Ye Huan is really strong, his talent is really badass, but I don’t believe Ye Huan can be that badass! I’m guessing the Ling Family made some kind of deal with Divine Traceless, using fake news to hype Ye Huan up, wanting Ye Huan to become the leader of the Hundred Clans sooner!"

"Got to say, the Ling Family is really too despicable, actually thinking up such a treacherous trick. I really misjudged the Ling Family!"

For a while, all the juniors of the various ancient Ancient Martial Clans and ancient Ancient Martial forces were crazily roasting the Ling Family, their words full of dissatisfaction toward the Ling Family and Divine Traceless!

However, a small portion of young Ancient Martial Artists put forward the opposite viewpoint.

"You guys better watch it, Ye Huan’s talent is that terrifying, we simply can’t handle him! Have you forgotten how you kept looking down on Ye Huan before, thinking he wasn’t that fierce, and then kept getting slapped in the face?"

"I think this news is at least seventy percent credible. With Ye Huan’s strength and talent, he’ll become the true leader of the Hundred Clans sooner or later. No one can stop this trend, the Ling Family has absolutely no need to beg Old Divine to help hype Ye Huan up!"

"Besides, that piece of news this morning was personally posted by a disciple of the Six Gates, and then the Six Gates was directly disbanded afterwards!"

"Ye Huan’s strength has probably already reached a level that we younger generation don’t even dare to imagine. After the Hundred Clans Grand Competition he improved further, that’s why he could fight the entire four great branches of the Evil Martial Sacred Land all by himself!"

"Yeah, that’s what I think too!"

This group was actively voicing their own opinions.

Next to them, quite a few young female Ancient Martial Artists shouted angrily, "You guys are just too salty. Ye Huan is that strong, and you’re all acting like you swallowed a pile of lemons, sour and full of jealousy!"

"So what if Ye Huan’s strength is a bit higher? Why are you all ganging up here to smear him?"

"This is textbook ’you’ve got no skills of your own, so you have to slander those better than you’! You got the balls to yap on and on here, why don’t you straighten your backs and go settle things with the Evil Martial Sacred Land instead?"

Clearly, all the young female Ancient Martial Artists in the Endless Deep Mountains had already been completely captivated by the heroic bearing Ye Huan showed on the Hundred Clans Battle Stage; one after another had turned into hardcore fangirls of Ye Huan.

It’s no exaggeration to say, no matter who bad-mouths Ye Huan in front of them, they’ll defend him to the end!

Even if Divine Traceless dared to slander Ye Huan, they’d let Divine Traceless find out just how brutal a war of words can be!

Ye Huan had already become the male god in the hearts of all the young female junior Ancient Martial Artists in the Endless Deep Mountains!

The supreme male god!

They absolutely would not allow anyone to tarnish or slander their male god!

These young women’s faces were dark, cursing non-stop, directly scolding those male young Ancient Martial Artists—who were saying Ye Huan wasn’t actually that strong and that it was just the Ling Family teaming up with Divine Traceless to hype him—into stunned silence.

Many of the girls speaking up for Ye Huan were goddess-level existences, the secret crushes of those male young Ancient Martial Artists.

How would they dare to argue back against their goddesses, against their crushes?

They simply didn’t have the guts!

But in their hearts, they were extremely unconvinced!

Even if you beat them to death, they still wouldn’t believe Ye Huan is really that badass!

"Damn it, I’m sure that punk Ye Huan is absolutely a fraud who lives off a fake reputation. One guy taking on the four great branches of the Evil Martial Sacred Land—how the hell is that even possible?!"

"Yeah, I think it’s impossible too. If Ye Huan is really that badass, I’ll take his surname and even call him daddy!"

"But right now all of our goddesses have been bewitched by that despicable bastard till they’re completely head over heels. What are we supposed to do?"

"What else can we do? We just need to drag out the evidence of Ye Huan’s fraud. We absolutely can’t let that brat Ye Huan keep being this arrogant!"

"Right! We definitely can’t let Ye Huan keep acting so arrogant!"

"Here’s the plan: tomorrow we’re going to the third-ring region to encircle and annihilate the Qilin Hall of the Evil Martial Sacred Land, right? As one of the major branches of the Evil Martial Sacred Land, the Qilin Hall definitely knows the secrets behind the destruction of the four great branches. When the time comes, we just grab a few Evil Martial Artists and interrogate them in private, and we’ll get the real story, won’t we?"

"Then we’ll make public the truth those Evil Martial Artists confess, and that punk Ye Huan won’t be able to fake it anymore. We’ll directly ruin Ye Huan’s reputation, let him know what the consequences of putting on an act are!"

"Hahaha, bro, your idea is just brilliant. This way we’ll definitely be able to pierce Ye Huan’s disguise very soon, expose his true face in minutes. Once that happens, our goddesses will finally see what kind of person Ye Huan really is, and we’ll regain the right to pursue them. They won’t be obsessed with Ye Huan anymore!"

For a while, in the rest areas of the various ancient Ancient Martial Clans and ancient Ancient Martial forces, groups of male juniors who were jealous of Ye Huan’s talent and strength gathered together, wearing wicked grins as they discussed their plan for tomorrow!

They decided they absolutely had to capture a few Evil Martial Artists tomorrow!

By using interrogation, they’d force these Evil Martial Artists to recount in full detail everything that had happened in the Six Gates’ Sect Square!

To nail down the charge that Ye Huan is a fraud who lives off a fake reputation!

Once that happened, all the young female Ancient Martial Artists who admired and adored Ye Huan would, without exception, turn from fans into haters overnight, from Ye Huan’s hardcore fans into his most devoted black fans!

"Ye Huan, if you’re just a fraud living off a fake reputation, we might have let it slide. But you committed an unforgivable sin! You shouldn’t have shown off that face and that strength! Because of you, all the goddesses in our hearts have fallen for you. That sin is something you can’t bear!"

"Fine, you can act all high and mighty, and we didn’t want to interfere!"

"But we must win our goddesses back. Just you wait, we’ll definitely rip off that trash’s fake mask of yours!"

Countless male juniors all roared in their hearts at the same time, resolving that they would make all the young female junior Ancient Martial Artists see clearly what kind of person Ye Huan really was!

They were dying of jealousy of Ye Huan!

Dying of envy of Ye Huan!

But they felt that no one is perfect!

Ye Huan definitely had some disgusting side unknown to others!

So they decided to use this opportunity to truly rip off Ye Huan’s ugly true face!
