Clan Leader: My strength equals to that of the entire clan - Chapter 446: 88: The Family Behind Ye XiaoFan_2

Chapter 446: Chapter 88: The Family Behind Ye XiaoFan_2
Within the Saint Sect of the Myriad Seas, only twelve elders openly possessed great saint artifacts.

Each of these elders owned a great saint artifact, which had become their standard equipment. This was why the elders held higher status than their peers; they earned their respect through battle and strength.

Being a saint with or without a great saint artifact were two completely different concepts.

Jealousy made the attacks of the Sea Dragon Saint increasingly ferocious.

Even if you possessed a saint artifact that greatly increased your strength, what of it?

You are fundamentally only at the early stages of sainthood. You could attack me, but I can defend against it. If I attack you, you can’t withstand it.

Within the Saint Sect of the Myriad Seas, countless disciples looked upwards, their eyes filled with veneration as they watched the two figures battling in the air.

Is this what a battle between high-level saints looks like? It’s so overwhelming!

With the Qingyun Sword, Ye XiaoFan might not have been able to defeat the Sea Dragon Saint just yet, but he had achieved a stable upper hand.

Being unable to overcome Ye XiaoFan made the already irritable Sea Dragon Saint grow angrier.

Die, I want you to die!

The next moment, the Sea Dragon Saint activated a secret technique.

His already powerful aura grew even stronger after the activation of the secret technique, faintly reaching the strength of a mid-level saint.

This situation caused the surrounding saints to furrow their brows.

Even though they also felt that Ye XiaoFan was unfit to be an elder and didn’t like him much, the actions of the Sea Dragon Saint were a bit out of line.

Ye XiaoFan had only just broken through into sainthood and should still be on the stage of familiarizing with his new power.

You already being a mid-level saint went for an attack, and you used a secret technique, isn’t this too much!

This was clearly bullying!

People always sympathize with the weaker party.

In their eyes, Ye XiaoFan was currently the one being bullied.

Even several elders, who were secretly watching the battle, couldn’t bear it any longer.

Their intent was to let these people put a little pressure on Ye XiaoFan, hoping to encourage him to progress faster.

But now, they feared that things may go awry!

Truthfully, they were rather surprised at the great saint artifact Ye XiaoFan produced.

They were clear that the great saint artifact of Ye XiaoFan did not come from the Saint Sect of the Myriad Seas.

There was only one possibility then; it must have arrived when members of Ye XiaoFan’s family visited him some time ago.

They had to admit, they felt a twinge of envy.

Having such support from the family felt really good!

Back in their day, they had to fight tooth and nail to obtain their own great saint artifact.

Yet here was Ye XiaoFan, barely broken through, and his family had promptly sent him one.

The advantages of coming from a powerful family background, how annoying.

Dark Mysterious Law!

In the hands of the Sea Dragon Saint, a surge of dark energy suddenly transformed into a transcendent gateway, which firmly wrapped around Ye XiaoFan’s great saint artifact.

Following this, the Sea Dragon Saint launched a fierce attack on Ye XiaoFan’s body.

The force of his attack was clearly intended to kill Ye XiaoFan.

“Not good!”

Elder Purple Huan’s complexion changed drastically, he moved to intercept the attack instantly.

But the Sea Dragon Saint’s attack was too sudden and swift; even Elder Purple Huan was completely unprepared and unable to block it.

However, in the next moment, a radiant light emerged from Ye XiaoFan’s body.

The radiant light held off the Sea Dragon Saint’s attack and at the same time, a bolt of potent power was directly infused into Ye XiaoFan’s body!

“The great saint bloodline, awaken!”

A horrifying aura exceeding the Saint Realm emerged. Behind Ye XiaoFan, a phantom appeared.

If the Sea Dragon Saint desires to take his life, Ye XiaoFan had no intention of showing any mercy.

You want me to die? Well, die first!

The Qingyun Sword, in an instant, broke free and immediately pierced towards the head of the Sea Dragon Saint.

His body was instantly penetrated and right after, the Qingyun Sword fiercely penetrated into the Sea of Soul.

The Sword intent erupted and instantly tore apart the Sea of Soul of the Sea Dragon Saint.

The Sea Dragon Saint hadn’t expected Ye XiaoFan to be able to block his attack. He was completely unprepared – even at the time of death, his face still wore an arrogant smile.

One strike, and the Sea Dragon Saint, fell!

This sudden turn of events left everyone astonished.

Even the elders were completely taken aback.

That divine glow just now, it must have been another Great Saint artifact, right?

Does Ye XiaoFan have more than one Great Saint artifact? Two of them?

One for attack, one for defense.

You must know, the value of a defensive Great Saint artifact is even higher than that of an offensive one.

After recovering from the shock of the Sea Dragon Saint’s fall, many Saints felt a twinge of jealousy.

The higher-ups of the Saint Sect were too generous, they gave Ye XiaoFan two Great Saint artifacts.

Even the Elders don’t receive that kind of treatment!

The Elders also felt jealous!

Ye XiaoFan’s family is also too generous!

Just because he broke through the Saint Realm, does he need to be so richly rewarded? Two Great Saint artifacts, fully armed!

This treatment, it’s too unsettling.

However, they still needed to handle the aftermath of the Sea Dragon Saint’s demise, so all the Elders emerged from the void.

Seeing the Elders appear, numerous Saints who had previously held grudges against Ye XiaoFan began speaking up.

“Elders, we admit that the talents of the Sea Dragon Saint are remarkable, but to give him two Great Saint artifacts, isn’t that a bit too generous?”

Someone discontentedly commented.

“If other forces found out, they’d think that Great Saint artifacts are cheap!”

Someone remarked sarcastically.

Elder Purple Huan, who had been silent all this while, didn’t speak until everyone had had their say. He said slowly, “Our Saint Sect did not give any special treatment to the Sea Dragon Saint. These two Great Saint artifacts were not given by us.”

At these words, everyone immediately erupted into a buzz.

What? These two Great Saint artifacts were not given by the Saint Sect?

Then where did Ye XiaoFan, a cultivator at the early stage of being a saint, get these Great Saint artifacts?

Did they fall from the sky?

Why hasn’t any of them ever had the luck to stumble upon them?

Most of the Saints did not believe this explanation, suspecting that it was favoritism by the high ranks of the Saint Sect towards Ye XiaoFan.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain how a cultivator who has just broken through to become a saint could have Great Saint artifacts, and two of them at that.

“These two Great Saint artifacts were given by our Ye Family Head,” said Ye XiaoFan.

He had no intention of hiding this fact, for he knew full well of the Ye Family’s two prior attempts to track the Saint Sect, but simply did not feel the need to expose them.

Demonstrating his worthiness, Ye XiaoFan was convinced that he could win even more respect from the Saint Sect.

Hearing what Ye XiaoFan said, the minds of numerous cultivators were flooded with question marks.

Isn’t Ye XiaoFan supposed to be a lone wolf? Could there really be a clan backing him?

Could Ye XiaoFan’s rapid breakthrough be due to the support of his clan?

With Ye XiaoFan’s words, many mysteries were suddenly unraveled.

His words were far more convincing than those of the elders.

Most importantly, if what Ye XiaoFan said was untrue, uttering such words would be a grave disservice.

By then, they wouldn’t need to take action. The higher-ups in the Saint Sect would create trouble for Ye XiaoFan themselves.

The Saints fell into silence one after another.

If it was the Saint Sect’s higher-ups who had given all these things to Ye XiaoFan, they still could voice their complaints, considering they too were part of the Saint Sect and had made their contributions.

But under these circumstances, how could they justify their dissatisfaction?

Could they reproach the Family Head behind Ye XiaoFan for showing favoritism, nurturing Ye XiaoFan but not them?

However, most Saints had the sense to realize they could only envy and feel resentful toward Ye XiaoFan.

Not a few Saints planned to strengthen their ties with Ye XiaoFan. Since Ye XiaoFan not only possessed outstanding talent but also the backing of a powerful clan, they saw more than enough reason to approach him.

For any bloodline that could upgrade Ye XiaoFan’s cultivation to the Saint Realm so quickly and then hand him two Great Saint artifacts.

No one would believe that Ye XiaoFan’s clan is weak.

Once the misunderstanding was cleared, although they still envied and were jealous of Ye XiaoFan, they couldn’t speak out in public about it anymore.

Moreover, Ye XiaoFan had demonstrated enough strength.

If Ye XiaoFan could kill the Sea Dragon Saint, he could certainly kill them too.

Aside from a few Elders, Ye XiaoFan’s strength was already amongst the strongest in the Saint Sect.

With such skills, coupled with his talent, he’s fully qualified to assume the position of the Thirteenth Elder.

Even if they’re unwilling to accept it, they couldn’t do anything to Ye XiaoFan anymore.

Meanwhile, at the main chamber of the Saint Sect, the Sect Master dismisses the energy mirror with a wave of his hand.

“The power behind the Sea Dragon Saint is even stronger than we imagined!”
