Clan Leader: My strength equals to that of the entire clan

No introduction was needed, everyone recognized this figure—it was the King and Great Qin Taoist Ancestor of the Divine Qin Dynasty!

“King Dayu, pardon my intrusion.” He said.

The Great Qin King took a step forward, slowly approaching Ye Xiaoxiao and others. A warm smile appeared on his face as he spoke first.

As soon as he spoke, the sound of his deep, resonant voice immediately dispelled all overbearing intensity, enveloping everyone in a fresh, spring breeze.

Ye Xiaoxiao finally reacted at this point and said, “It’s Dayu’s honor to have the Great Qin King visit the Divine Dayu Dynasty.”

“I suppose this is the famed Head of the Ye Family!”

At this point, the Great Qin King suddenly turned his head to look at Ye Fan.

“Being remembered by the Great Qin King is my honor indeed!”

Ye Fan bowed slightly, laughing as he said this.

Although his expression maintained calm and he could still muster a smile, Ye Fan’s heart was beyond peaceful.

The hint of aura unintentionally revealed by the Great Qin King exuded a certain familiar sensation.

This sense of familiarity was almost identical to that coming from the shadowy figure behind Tonghai Daozu!

This discovery startled Ye Fan.

Could it be that the Great Qin King was the one who stole from the Divine Dayu Dynasty, taking their Fate Jin Ding?

Logically speaking, it’s highly probable!

The Great Qin King suddenly decided to visit the Divine Dayu Dynasty, and then the Fate Jin Ding vanished. Isn’t it quite an astounding coincidence?

But based on Ye Fan’s shallow understanding of the Great Qin King, it didn’t quite add up.

The Divine Qin Dynasty was the oldest and most powerful amongst all the divine dynasties.

The Great Qin King was the pinnacle amongst the Invincible Taoist Ancestors.

Would such a figure really resort to devious means against the Divine Dayu Dynasty just for a Fate Jin Ding?

Rumor has it that the Great Qin King was mighty and intimidating. Even when facing the unbeatable Demon Ancestor of the Demon Clan, he single-handedly charged and slew the Demon Ancestor, refusing any offer of assistance.

Would such a figure do something as petty as theft?

Ye Fan didn’t believe it!

This filled Ye Fan’s heart with doubts, but he refrained from ruling out that the Great Qin King was guilty.

One never truly knows what’s going on in another’s heart; anything was possible.

Ye Fan held onto this emergent thought deep in his heart. There’s no point fussing over it now since he had no way to confront the situation.

When his abilities had caught up, he would bring this matter to light then.

Ye Xiaoxiao enthusiastically welcomed the Great Qin King and even established relations with the Divine Qin Dynasty, as if everything were progressing smoothly.

After the Great Qin King left, Ye Fan didn’t linger in Dayu for long. He sought out the Old Bodhi Ancestor!

“Master, I’ve sensed an aura quite similar to the person behind Tonghai Daozu!” Ye Fan directly told the Old Bodhi Ancestor about his discovery.

Upon hearing this, the Old Bodhi Ancestor’s face turned rather grim.

“Little Fan, I always felt that something was off with this matter.”

He sighed.

“Alright Master, you also feel that something’s amiss!” Ye Fan got excited hearing the Old Bodhi Ancestor share his sentiment.

“Actually, I’ve known for a while whose aura this is similar to.”

The Pangu Universe was that big, and there were only so many in the Ancestor Realm. There would inevitably be intersections within the paths of these powerful beings.

As one of the most eternal of Taoist Ancestors, wouldn’t the Old Bodhi Ancestor be aware of this specific aura?

However, to prevent Ye Fan from doing something out of anger, he decided it was better to wait until the investigation concluded before revealing it to Ye Fan.

Upon hearing the Old Bodhi Ancestor’s explanation, Ye Fan didn’t get angry but expressed understanding instead.

The Great Qin King and the Old Bodhi Ancestor were both very important figures for the Human Clan.

Any conflict arising from this matter would not bode well for the Human Clan.

Moreover, this matter seemed a little too deliberate.

“Master, given the Great Qin King’s level of cultivation, would we have even detected his residual aura if he hadn’t intentionally left it?”

“No chance! Although there’s only a minor realm difference between an Invincible Taoist Ancestor and a Peaking Taoist Ancestor, the difference in strength perception is profound. This is even more so for the Great Qin King, who’s on the verge of stepping into the Semi-Saint Rank.”

Just as he figured!

Ye Fan had felt that this was improbable.

However, Ye Fan was interested in the Semi-Saint realm the Old Bodhi Ancestor mentioned.

“Master, is this Semi-Saint realm the one right above the Taoist rank?”

“The Saint Realm is indeed above the Taoist Rank. However, it’s almost impossible to break through to the Saint Rank today—even stepping into the Semi-Saint realm is extraordinarily challenging.”

“Without the Hongmeng Purple Qi, no one can break through the Heavenly Dao’s restrictions to reach the Saint Realm.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan was also taken aback.

The role of the Hongmeng Purple Qi, is it very important?

Hearing this, Ye Fan was struck by a thought.

Others may not have Hongmeng Purple Qi, but Ye Fan did.

Ye Fan had a system, so he didn’t have a dire need for Hongmeng Purple Qi.

But he didn’t know if the system rewards could be used by others outside of the Ye Family.

Ye Fan wasn’t planning on revealing his cards just yet, hoping to wait until later.

If possible, Ye Fan wouldn’t mind giving the Hongmeng Purple Qi to Bodhi Old Ancestor for his disposal.

Ye Fan was deeply grateful for all the help the Bodhi Old Ancestor had given him.

A single Hongmeng Purple Qi was a small price to pay, he thought.

Besides, who says that he would never get more Hongmeng Purple Qi in the future?

With the system’s consistent efficiency, such level of rewards might become a norm!

Bodhi Old Ancestor noticed the change in Ye Fan’s expression and came up with a crazy idea.

His disciple couldn’t possibly possess such a treasure like the Hongmeng Purple Qi, could he?

Impossible, impossible.

The Bodhi Old Ancestor quickly dismissed the idea.

With the disappearance of the Six Ancient Saints, there was no more Hongmeng Purple Qi in this world, how could Ye Fan possibly have it?

Even if he had, it was Ye Fan’s own property.

As his mentor, he couldn’t steal his own pupil’s treasure.

“You’re overthinking, you should focus on breaking through the Taoist Ancestor realm.”

Bodhi Old Ancestor chastised, knocking Ye Fan on the head as a signal for him to stop daydreaming.

Ye Fan grinned widely, remaining silent.

Ever since the ascension of the Dayu Divine Dynasty, the Pangu Universe was immersed in a rare peace.

As time went on, the Chaos Demon Seed which had troubled the Pangu Universe for so long, disappeared almost entirely.

The absence of the threat imposed by Chaos Demon Seed, led to a sigh of relief across all major forces.

However, as the threat by the Chaos Demon Seed dissipated, the importance of the Ye Family gradually declined.

Nevertheless, considering the power displayed by Ye Fan and Dayu Divine Dynasty, no one dared to provoke Ye Fan simply because the Ye Family had lost its significance.

Simply put, strength remained the salient factor for gaining respect from others.

However, the mood among the Chaos faction was less optimistic.

“It seems like our plan has failed,” sighed Bone Ancestor, looking at the void with a helpless expression.

“No, it hasn’t failed yet,” despite his grim countenance, Black Cloud Daozu had not lost hope entirely.

“It hasn’t failed?” Bone Ancestor was puzzled.

“That’s correct. After the ascension of the Dayu Divine Dynasty, Ye Fan immediately headed to the Square Inch Mountain, which is a pretty obvious signal that he has noticed something.”

“It was probably the interference of Bodhi Old Ancestor that kept Ye Fan from acting rashly.”

“The only thing we need to do now, is to add fuel to the fire!”

“Add fuel to the fire? How do you plan to do that?”

“The realm of Gods and Demons, it’s high time we expanded.”

“The forces that have lost their territories, don’t they need a new place to inhabit?”

“In the current Pangu Universe, which power possesses a vast territory but limited strength?”

“Excellent, get it done!”

Ha ha ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha ha ha!

The laughter echoed through the entire headquarters of the Chaos faction, sending chills down one’s spine.

By the time the Human Clan realized that something was wrong, the expansion of the God and Demon Realm had already begun.

The expansion of the God and Demon Realm required a lot of expenditure.

Facing difficulties in maintaining their existing territory with their current strength, the Chaos Faction wanted to continue expanding. Why?

Every action has a cause. Before they found the reason for the Chaos faction’s expansion, even the major Taoist Ancestors were not foolish enough to engage hastily.

They are dealing against the Chaos Faction, after all. Even for the Daozu, a moment of carelessness can result in their downfall!
