Chapter 414: Chapter 72 Recruitment by the Trans-Sun Saint_2
Ultimately, the rise of the Ye Family was too swift, and they lacked the necessary depth of foundation.
After receiving the orders from the Trans-Sun Saint, Quantian Yaosheng was not overly concerned. He sent a subordinate to the Ye Family to convey the orders of the Trans-Sun Saint.
In the Ye Family, Bodhi Old Ancestor, who was in charge of security, immediately sensed the presence of a Semi-Saint standing outside of the Ye Family’s residence, becoming instantly alert.
The Ye Family had no connection whatsoever with the other Semi-Saints, so the appearance of a Semi-Saint outside their residence was clearly an ill omen.
“Summon your leader to receive the order!”
The Blue Bird Semi-Saint, upon seeing Bodhi Old Ancestor, declared arrogantly.
Though the Blue Bird Semi-Saint’s cultivation level was only at the beginning stage of Semi-Saint, as a subordinate of a Saint, even the peak Semi-Saints respected him highly. This fed his arrogance even more, to the point where he did not take the Ye Family seriously.
In the eyes of the Blue Bird Semi-Saint, the Trans-Sun Saint’s interest in the Ye Family was their honor.
Even if his attitude was somehow flawed, did he really think the Ye Family would dare to be dissatisfied?
The Blue Bird Semi-Saint’s tone made Bodhi Old Ancestor extremely uncomfortable, but as an old timer who had lived hundreds of thousands of years, he was able to conceal his disapproval.
“Who are you? Why are you seeking our Family Head?”
Bodhi Old Ancestor asked.
“I carry orders from the Saint. I am here to enlist the Ye Family. Summon your Family Head!”
His words held a commanding tone that wasn’t pleasant to hear!
Even though Bodhi Old Ancestor would have loved to slap this Semi-Saint to death, he could not underestimate the weight of a Saint’s presence.
Bodhi Old Ancestor had no choice but to usher the Blue Bird Semi-Saint into the Ye Family residence while notifying Ye Fan at the same time!
A Saint recruiting the Ye Family?
Ye Fan also quickly received the message and felt a heavy burden in his heart.
A Saint would put a real pressure on the present Ye Family.
However, Ye Fan had never considered the Ye Family acting as a minion to a Saint.
All Ye Fan could do was to confront the situation by meeting the envoy of the Saint-level power in Jiufang City.
“You are the Ye Family Head?”
After examining Ye Fan for a while, the Blue Bird Semi-Saint spoke nonchalantly.
“I am the envoy of the Trans-Sun Saint. The Saint highly values your Ye Family. From now on, the Ye Family will be a vassal to the Trans-Sun Saint, submitting half of your profits. In return, the Ye Family will receive the protection of the Saint.”
Protection?
Ye Fan couldn’t help but scoff in his heart!
Such protection was nothing more than a verbal agreement.
If the Ye Family truly angered a formidable enemy, would the Saint still protect them?!
Ye Fan took a deep breath and replied graciously: “I am deeply grateful for the generous offer from the Trans-Sun Saint, but the Ye Family cannot accept it. So, I must decline!”
A quite generous offer indeed, considering it insists on half of the profits.
The Ye Family had a substantial number of individuals living in Jiufang City, and the consumption of Chaos Liquid was considerable every day.
If they had to give away half, the Ye Family wouldn’t have enough left for themselves.
Compared to protection, Ye Fan was more concerned about the cultivation speed of the Ye family cultivators.
The Blue Bird Semi-Saint was in disbelief after hearing Ye Fan’s words. He thought he had misheard.
“Are you sure you’ve made the right choice, Clan Leader Ye? This is an honor bestowed personally to the Ye Family by Trans-Sun Saint!”
The Blue Bird Semi-Saint couldn’t believe it. The Ye family dared to refuse a Saint?
Did the leader of the Ye Family have a faulty brain, failing to comprehend the difference between a discussion and an order?
What’s more, he was anticipating that he would gain some benefits in the name of the Saint!
Previously, not only did the families have to give a portion of their profits to the Saint, they also had to provide him, the messenger, with significant benefits.
Now that Ye Family was refusing even the Saint, what benefits could he, a semi-saint, gain?!
“You have heard right, indeed, the Ye Family does not require any protection!”
Without any further considerations, Ye Fan loudly expressed his stance!
“Clan Leader Ye, are you aware of whom you are refusing?”
The Blue Bird Semi-Saint exploded with rage, glaring intensely at Ye Fan.
This was a task entrusted to him by Quantian Yaosheng. If he could not even accomplish such a simple mission, what would Quantian Yaosheng think of him?
Quantian Yaosheng had countless Semi-Saints under him.
He had only managed to gain some standing in Quantian Yaosheng’s heart by being particularly obsequious, and occasionally receiving some tasks assigned by Quantian Yaosheng.
There were many other Semi-Saints under Quantian Yaosheng who were waiting for him to make a single mistake to replace him!
No, he could not allow the Ye Family to refuse like this, the Ye Family must accept the Saint’s recruitment!
However, he forgot that other powers respected him not because he was strong, but because they respected the Saint.
The Ye Family is now refusing to respect even the Saint, what does he amount to then!
In the next moment, Bodhi Old Ancestor and Ten Thousand Swords Old Ancestor both unleashed their Semi-Saint late-stage pressure, tightly locking onto the bluebird Semi-Saint.
If the bluebird Semi-Saint dared to make any move, they would undoubtedly strike without hesitation!
Being targetted by two Semi-Saints stronger than him, the bluebird Semi-Saint felt as if he was facing death and immediately sobered up.
He knew that today, he had completely failed.
“Very well, the Ye Family is it? I hope you can stay this defiant in the future!”
Upon his return, his status in the heart of the Quantian Semi-Saint would definitely decline greatly, all because of the Ye family’s actions.
If the Ye Family had accepted the Saint’s recruitment, he wouldn’t have ended up this way.
Facing the repeated threats from the bluebird Semi-Saint, even if Ye Fan didn’t want to provoke a Saint, he could not suppress his murderous intent.
Since they’ve already fallen out, why not just kill this Semi-Saint?
The concept of not killing the messenger doesn’t exist for Ye Fan.
Feeling Ye Fan’s murderous intent, the bluebird Semi-Saint felt his hair stand on end.
This head of the Ye Family actually wants to kill him!
Next moment, the bluebird Semi-Saint wildly fled, fearing that Ye Fan would strike directly!
“Damn it, the Ye Family really deserves to die, they must be destroyed!”
The bluebird Semi-Saint rushed back to the inner city to give a detailed account of the Ye family’s arrogance to Quantian Yaosheng!
By the way, to ease his own responsibility a bit.
An individual who only knows how to brown-nose will not gain attention so easily!
However, soon the bluebird Semi-Saint fell back into despair.
Quantian Yaosheng had not imagined that the bluebird Semi-Saint would fail in his recruitment and had gone into seclusion.
For a Semi-Saint powerhouse, they are all striving to break through to the Saint Realm.
Most of their time is spent in seclusion!
Wake up Quantian Yaosheng? The bluebird didn’t dare!
Report directly to the Trans-Sun Saint? The bluebird dared even less.
In the end, he could only wait in frustration for Quantian Yaosheng to come out of seclusion.
“When Quantian Yaosheng comes out of seclusion, it will be the death of the Ye family!”
The bluebird Semi-Saint bitterly thought to himself.
Meanwhile, back at the Ye Family, after the bluebird Semi-Saint left, Bodhi Old Ancestor and Ten Thousand Swords Old Ancestor started to worry!
After all, they’re dealing with a Saint, even if they were confident in Ye Fan, they couldn’t help but feel some pressure!
“Little Fan, what do we do next?”
Bodhi Old Ancestor thought that if the Saint really came after them, they could retreat back to the Pangu Universe.
They believed in Ye Fan’s talent, breaking through to the Saint Realm wouldn’t take long.
At that time, they could return.
Kill all Trans-Sun Saints and everyone else!
“Don’t worry, maybe this Saint is broad-minded and won’t mind our refusal!”
Ye Fan reassured with a smile, not overly concerned internally!
Ye Fan now gauged that he was not far away from the Saint Realm, but not quite there yet.
If he could acquire one or two more trump cards, he should be ready.
The easiest trump card to obtain now would be the Great Saint bloodline.
Once his bloodline level is elevated to the Great Saint Stage, upon unleashing the power deep within the bloodline, Ye Fan’s strength would skyrocket once again.
To obtain a Great Saint Stage bloodline, one must complete a long-term mission!
The rise of the Family Head, the family armory, these two tasks should be the easiest long-term tasks to complete now.
As for how to accomplish them, Ye Fan already had some ideas.
He should have enough time.
Moving back to the Pangu Universe could only be the last resort!
There has never been a precedent where the Ye Family has been driven back, and Ye Fan does not want there to be one.
If that is the case, then let’s continue to plan!
