Starting As A Clan Leader: My Rules Are A Bit Wild

Chapter 56: The Plan Begins~!

Wu Xingyun was the first to react.

"So, what the Sect Master means is to attract Independent Cultivators to attack the Three Sects with high-quality pills or treasures, weaken their power, and even annihilate them."

"And then, we take over their territories?"

"That's not a bad idea. After all, Independent Cultivators won't occupy territories, they will only plunder important items. The territories will inevitably be left behind. As long as we act fast enough, the success rate is not low."

"But..."

She paused and said, "There are some problems with this plan."

"First, how do we give out the treasures? If it's just a rumor, few people will believe it. If it's really given out, like pills, once given to the other party, they will probably take it immediately. It may not necessarily attract powerful individuals to take action."

"Second, if we give out other treasures, do we have any?"

Lin Fan chuckled, "Second Elder's concerns are not unfounded, so we have to do it this way and that way."

The five elders listened, skeptical.

But Lin Fan remained silent and smiled.

The power system of the Immortal Martial Continent was extremely astonishing.

But precisely because of this, cultivators tended to overlook the power of "public opinion".

After all, as long as my strength is strong enough, I can easily destroy cities and countries with a single slap. Why would I care about public opinion?

But as a transmigrator, Lin Fan was particularly clear about this.

Public opinion, if used properly, is a bloodless knife~!

...

Peach Blossom Sect.

Another piece of news came, and Sect Master Jiang Tao's face darkened after reading it.

"Damn Embracing Moon Sect, they haven't been annihilated yet?"

"Then the Finger Mystic realm experts who made a move were all stopped. Are they all useless? Su Xinghai is clearly only at the early stage of the Finger Mystic realm!"

He was very worried.

Although the previous conflicts were not intense, they had created enmity between the two sides.

The reason why there had been no further action was simply because both sides were wary of each other.

Embracing Moon Sect couldn't kill them, and if they killed Embracing Moon Sect, they would suffer heavy losses as well.

So, they could only temporarily put this grudge aside.

But now the situation was different.

Su Xinghai of Embracing Moon Sect had reached the Fifth Realm, but the strongest in Peach Blossom Sect, Sect Master Jiang Tao, was only at the Grotto-Heaven Realm Ninth Layer.

If Embracing Moon Sect attacked, they might not be able to withstand it!

Of course, not being able to withstand it was just a matter of face. In reality, they would definitely not be able to withstand it.

That's why he took the lead in forming an alliance of the Three Sects.

At the same time, he secretly prayed that those "insignificant" forces would be stronger, preferably killing Su Xinghai and completely annihilating the Embracing Moon Sect's lineage.

Only then could he feel at ease.

But the result was unexpected.

A month passed, and Embracing Moon Sect not only remained standing, but also formed an alliance with the Liu Family. Moreover, their strength seemed to be growing stronger.

This made Jiang Tao particularly uneasy.

"We need to come up with a solution."

"Otherwise, if Embracing Moon Sect is free to act, even if our Three Sects are allied, we will definitely be in a bind."

"The Finger Mystic realm..."

"No, I need to purchase Finger Mystic pills. If I also break through to the Fifth Realm, what do I have to fear from Embracing Moon Sect?"

However, Jiang Tao also knew his own talent. His current cultivation was almost at its limit. In order to break through to the Finger Mystic realm, he would need at least a Fifth Grade Finger Mystic pill, with a fifty percent chance of success.

But Fifth Grade Finger Mystic pills were too expensive, otherwise he would have bought them long ago.

"Damn it, I can only promise more benefits."

He immediately summoned the elders and had two of them go to the Hongwu Immortal City to "purchase" Fifth Grade Finger Mystic pills at a high price, three percent higher than the market price.

However, it must be paid in installments.

First, pay half of the yuan stone, and the rest will be paid within the next hundred years.

The news spread quickly.

Lin Fan also received the news and almost burst out laughing.

"I thought I would have to arrange everything from beginning to end, but I didn't expect you to take the initiative..."

"Well then, I won't be polite."

And so.

The next day, a mysterious outsider Alchemist found two elders of the Peach Blossom Sect and set up a soundproof barrier. They had a private conversation and then both left laughing.

Many people with ulterior motives witnessed this scene.

After the mysterious Alchemist left, the two elders of the Peach Blossom Sect suddenly realized that something was amiss in the atmosphere and quickly disappeared into the crowd.

However, no one knew that shortly after the mysterious Alchemist left, he changed his appearance and returned to the crowd.

"I heard the deal was made!"

"Oh? Don't you know? The Peach Blossom Sect has successfully acquired two Fifth Grade Finger Mystic Pills, and they used the future hundred years of sect income to purchase them. Jiang Tao really has courage, but he was forced to do so."

"Forced? How did that happen?"

"They have a grudge with the Embracing Moon Sect! The Embracing Moon Sect has been in the limelight recently, and I'm sure you've all heard about it. The Peach Blossom Sect and two other sects are in a hurry and formed an alliance, but obviously, even with the alliance, their strength is still not enough."

"So, they had to take a risk and do it!"

"I heard that they spent a lot of money to buy two Fifth Grade Finger Mystic Pills because the talent of the Peach Blossom Sect's master, Jiang Tao, is not that good, and the success rate of one pill is too low..."

"Is that true?"

"Where did you hear that?"

"I can't say, I can't say..."

"..."

Rumors spread.

At first, people naturally had doubts.

But gossip lovers are not few in any world!

Moreover, many people did see the two elders of the Peach Blossom Sect talking to the outsider Alchemist, and then both parties left with laughter, obviously very satisfied.

Why were they all laughing?

Obviously, both parties were satisfied!

The Alchemist sold the pills at a high price, and the Peach Blossom Sect obtained what they urgently needed... so both parties were happy, which made sense!

As the rumors spread further, although there were still some hesitations, there were also many believers.

But whether to take action was also a question.

After all, the Peach Blossom Sect was not the Embracing Moon Sect. The Embracing Moon Sect had only a dozen people in total, but the Peach Blossom Sect had thousands of people, including dozens of Grotto-Heaven Realm elders and a protective array.

Powerful Finger Mystic realm cultivators disdained taking action for just one Fifth Grade Finger Mystic Pill, while the weaker ones were not very confident.

As for why it was only one pill...

Naturally, after Jiang Tao obtained the Finger Mystic Pill, he would take one immediately!

So, for a while, no one took action, but there were many people keeping an eye on them.

That night, there was more news.

The mysterious Alchemist reappeared!

In the Hongwu Immortal City, he sold several Seventh Grade Grotto-Heaven Pills!

This further confirmed his identity.

It also increased the credibility of the news that the Peach Blossom Sect had purchased two Fifth Grade Finger Mystic Pills!

Many independent cultivators began to stir and couldn't sit still.

Among them were some Finger Mystic realm independent cultivators who were struck by lightning and fled on that rainy night.
