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

Chapter 61: A High-Stakes Gamble, Showdown!

"That's natural, Father. Your vision has surpassed that of gods and immortals, so naturally you won't make a mistake," Liu Xun quickly praised.

"Don't flatter me!"

"But, Father!"

He knew his son too well.

As long as this guy kneels down, nothing good will come of it.

At this moment, he couldn't help but worry.

Because the weight of this good news was truly substantial! In theory, even if there were any mistakes, they would be enough to offset each other completely.

But now this kid was still kneeling in front of him, which indicated that the problem was very serious!

"But..."

Liu Xun hesitated, then said, "Embracing Moon Sect currently possesses news of twenty-five spiritual mountains. You should already know this, right?"

"Of course!"

"And the suspicious destruction of the three sects, the so-called Finger Mystic Pill, is said to be nonexistent. However, the exact situation is still unknown, and the culprits are mostly those desperados who left very few traces, making it difficult to find out who they are."

"But what does this have to do with Embracing Moon Sect?"

The head of the Liu family was puzzled.

It couldn't be that Embracing Moon Sect was behind it, right?

They didn't have the strength to wipe out three sects overnight.

"Father, I don't know if this matter is related to Embracing Moon Sect, but we previously promised to help Embracing Moon Sect set up a protective formation. However, now Embracing Moon Sect's spiritual mountains have increased to twenty-five, and their territory has expanded more than a hundredfold..."

The head of the Liu family's breathing hitched.

"You... agreed?"

"Mm."

Liu Xun lowered his head, prepared to be scolded and spat on.

But his father's angry scolding and spittle didn't come. He quietly looked up and saw his father pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back, clearly deep in thought.

After a long while, he stopped and whispered, "Since you've agreed, you must follow through. Take the materials and some people with you and set up the formation for them as soon as possible."

"Father?"

Liu Xun was surprised. "You... agreed?"

What surprised him even more was that he didn't scold me?

This means that nearly a tenth of the formation materials in the Liu family's treasury will be moved away!!

And it will also consume a large amount of elemental stones!

"You've already agreed, so can I refuse? Should I let the Liu family lose face?"

The head of the Liu family snorted coldly. "Besides, you have to know how to choose in everything!"

"Do you know why this time there is a Ninth Grade Profound Essence Pill, and even an Eight Grade Grotto-Heaven Pill?"

"Why?"

"Because Embracing Moon Sect is showing its value."

The head of the Liu family was somewhat speechless. Why was his son so foolish?

In the future, can he really entrust the Liu family to him with peace of mind?

"It's also telling our Liu family that Embracing Moon Sect is worth our investment, and at the same time, we will receive even greater rewards in the future!"

"But, relying solely on Xiao Ling'er and Fan Jianqiang?"

"Stupid!"

"Embracing Moon Sect used to be low-key and unremarkable, especially in alchemy. But now, suddenly, there's someone like Xiao Ling'er, an alchemy prodigy. Do you believe that she has no one behind her?"

"In my opinion, this Eight Grade Grotto-Heaven Pill is most likely not made by her, but by someone else, such as an alchemy grandmaster who hasn't shown themselves!"

"But regardless, Lin Fan's actions have indeed piqued my interest."

"In any case, take the materials and people with you, set up the formation, and don't delay!"

"I'll consider it a high-stakes gamble."

"As for winning or losing, we'll see in the future."

Liu Xun still didn't quite understand.

But fortunately, he didn't need to lament, and the matter was resolved.

This was undoubtedly the best outcome.

He didn't ask any more questions and quickly took the materials and manpower to Embracing Moon Sect.

Afterward...

The formation has begun!

The five elders of the Embracing Moon Sect have successfully exchanged spiritual mountains with other sects. Although they paid a price, they have ultimately connected the twenty-five spiritual mountains of the Embracing Moon Sect, without any other sects' mountains in between.

This undoubtedly makes it safer and more convenient.

Liu Xun brought a lot of manpower and sufficient materials, but even so, it took nearly a day to approach the end.

As the moon rose above the willow branches, Liu Xun stood side by side with Lin Fan, holding a sound transmission jade talisman for final confirmation.

After receiving a positive response, he took a deep breath and looked at Lin Fan.

His emotions were particularly complex.

These are all materials from the Liu family!

But...

Since things have come to this point, there's nothing more to say.

He steadied his mind and said, "Brother Lin, will you set up the formation?"

"Okay!"

Lin Fan smiled.

With this formation, the Embracing Moon Sect no longer needs to worry about its own safety issues in the short term.

A cultivator at the Sixth Realm can block for a moment, and what about the Fifth Realm? It's almost impossible to break through!

Moreover, with so much territory, the disciples don't have to stay in the same mountain, and they can also expand boldly...

There are too many benefits.

"Set up the formation!"

Lin Fan held the formation plate and infused it with Essence Qi, causing it to activate automatically.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!

Dazzling columns of light shot up into the sky, a total of twenty-five, representing the twenty-five spiritual mountains of the Embracing Moon Sect.

Then, these columns of light connected together, forming a large light curtain that enveloped the entire Embracing Moon Sect, gradually fading away...

It's not that the formation disappeared.

It's just that the formation doesn't show itself on ordinary days. However, if someone without the 'token' approaches or wants to enter, the formation will instantly appear and block them.

"It's done."

Although his emotions were mixed, at this moment, Liu Xun couldn't help but smile. "From now on, as long as it's not a cultivator above the Late Stage of the Sixth Realm, the Embracing Moon Sect will be safe!"

He wasn't bragging.

Although the formation couldn't block a cultivator at the Sixth Layer for a long time, it could still temporarily hinder them.

With this time, the Embracing Moon Sect can completely seek help from the Liu family!

Moreover, in this remote area, where are there so many cultivators at the Sixth Realm?

"I'm planning to set up another teleportation formation within your Embracing Moon Sect. This way, mutual support and communication will be more convenient when needed," Liu Xun proposed again.

Lin Fan naturally wouldn't refuse.

However, he planned to remove the required spirit stones for the teleportation formation during normal times and only install them when needed.

He was afraid that someone would use the teleportation formation to sneak in!

Although it wouldn't happen under normal circumstances, it's better to be safe than sorry.

...

Outside the Embracing Moon Sect's formation, cultivators from surrounding sects gathered in groups of two or three, their expressions uncertain.

"Hiss."

"The Embracing Moon Sect has declined to this extent... and yet there is still a day of resurgence?"

"Twenty-five spiritual mountains are already in the top five in our territory."

"This formation must be the work of the Liu family."

"Stop talking nonsense. We all saw the people from the Liu family busy setting up the formation just now. Do we still need you to say it?"

"The Embracing Moon Sect, with the Liu family as its backing, suddenly rises. For us, it's hard to say whether it's a blessing or a curse..."

"Hmph, relying on mountains and people is not as good as relying on oneself. Although the Embracing Moon Sect has gained a great advantage by leaning on the Liu family, having more spiritual mountains than our sects, the Embracing Moon Sect lacks people. What's the use of a sect with only mountains and no people?"

"That's right. Instead of worrying about the Embracing Moon Sect, we should worry about the disciples sent to the Spirit Sword Sect by the Eight Sword Sect."

"Although the Eight Sword Sect was destroyed and the Embracing Moon Sect took over their territory, our neighboring sects are likely to be targeted as well. After all, the Spirit Sword Sect is too domineering..."

At this point, their expressions changed.

Also, let me explain the update situation again. I'm still writing the draft, and when it's published, there will be at least 50,000 words!

And this chapter is a transitional one. Once this part is over, it will be very interesting, especially interesting. Let me give you a preview: I've already written up to Long Aotian, hehehe!)
