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

Chapter 64: Most of the time, I'm clever as hell.

"Oh?"

"Is the news true?!"

The Valley Master of Yunxiao Valley, Yun Ruofu, walked out of the secret room with a delighted expression.

"The news is true!"

The disciple responded excitedly, "Many forces have already sent people there, but the protective formation is astonishing. It is said that it was arranged by the Grandmaster of the Eighth Realm Formation, even though it has not collapsed after thousands of years, it is just a bit unstable and has been discovered by others."

"Many formation masters are trying to break the formation, but progress is slow. According to reliable information, it will be possible to break the formation and enter in about twenty or thirty days."

"Who's tomb is it?"

"It's the tomb of the infamous Swallowing Fire Daoist from over seven thousand years ago!"

"Oh?"

"Swallowing Fire Daoist?"

"I do have some impression of this person. It is said that he was infamous back then and was only one step away from reaching the Eighth Realm. Unfortunately, due to his arrogance, he offended a terrifying powerhouse and had his vitality wiped out. He struggled in despair for several years before dying with resentment."

"But this Swallowing Fire Daoist was rampant and accumulated great wealth back then..."

Yun Ruofu paced back and forth, "If we can obtain all the inheritance and burial items in his tomb and step into the Seventh Realm, it would indeed be promising."

"Hahaha, well done, my disciple. I'm very pleased with this news!"

"Seventh Senior Brother!"

"Seventh Senior Brother?"

"Seventh Senior Brother, where did you go after you died? Come over here and..."

Yun Ruofu was originally very excited and was about to make arrangements, but he saw that his disciple's face turned pale in an instant, causing his brows to furrow, "What are you panicking about?!"

"Where is Seventh Senior Brother?!"

"Seventh... Seventh Senior Brother, he..."

Thud! The disciple knelt down directly, even prostrating on the ground, "He... he's gone."

"Gone?"

"What do you mean gone?"

Yun Ruofu was shocked, but he didn't want to believe it, "Yunxiao Valley is still alive, who dares to touch him?!"

Then, he roared angrily, "Seventh Senior Brother, don't scare me, come out!"

However...

There was no response.

Boom!

Yun Ruofu exploded with rage, causing the disciple to tremble in fear, "Speak!"

"What exactly happened?!"

"Seventh Senior Brother went to Hongwu Immortal City for some business, but he accidentally learned about a third-rate small sect that obtained an opportunity and had a genius alchemist. He wanted to bring them back together, but... he never returned."

"A month ago, Seventh Senior Brother's life jade slip shattered."

"Considering that you were in seclusion, I didn't inform you immediately..."

Upon hearing this, Yun Ruofu stood still in place.

For a long time, for a long time.

When the disciple looked up, he saw tears streaming down Yun Ruofu's face.

"Master, please forgive me, disciple..."

"Foolish child, what does this matter have to do with you? Get up."

"Tell me, which small sect is it?"

"It's the Embracing Moon Sect. The Embracing Moon Sect is mediocre in strength, but they formed an alliance with the Liu Family. Seventh Senior Brother's death is probably related to the Liu Family."

"Please calm down, Master. Once you seize the opportunity and advance to the Seventh Realm, even if it's the Liu Family..."

"Hmm, you're right."

"But..."

(Note: The translation provided is a direct translation and may not capture the full nuances of the original text.)

The disciple was taken aback and looked at Yun Ruofu.

But he saw a particularly sinister smile on his face: "You're too noisy."

Boom!

His body exploded, turning into a mist of blood, dispersing in the wind.

"Embracing Moon Sect, Liu Family..."

Yun Ruofu murmured softly, "Old man, I will definitely find out the truth."

"Seventh brother, oh seventh brother, there were originally nine of us brothers. Only you and I are left. I thought your talent was slightly inferior, but as long as we worked hard together, we could live carefree for ten thousand years, a hundred thousand years."

"I repeatedly advised and warned you to stay away from danger, but you always wanted to prove yourself. In the end, you ended up like this. How can I, as your brother, handle this?"

"From now on, I am the only one left in this world."

"Don't worry, I will avenge you. Once I reach the Seventh Realm..."

His expression gradually turned cold as he glanced at where his disciple had disappeared, and said coldly, "As for you, hmph, even the other elders dare not inform me of this bad news. You have the audacity, but unfortunately..."

Even if you were deceived by other senior brothers and came here, you are extremely foolish and not worth pitying."

"Guards!"

"Spread the word, closely monitor the Tomb of the Fire Swallower Daoist. I want to know every little detail!"

...

Embracing Moon Sect.

Liu Xun came to deliver Spirit Medicine and materials once again. Seeing the abundant harvest of pills, he couldn't help but say, "Brother Lin, have you heard of the Tomb of the Fire Swallower Daoist?"

"The Tomb of the Fire Swallower Daoist?"

Lin Fan's eyes turned, "I don't know, please tell me more."

Liu Xun didn't hold back and immediately informed him of all the information the Liu Family had gathered.

He continued, "It's not really a secret. Nowadays, anyone with some knowledge or forces with disciples outside would basically know."

"But Embracing Moon Sect is currently lacking in manpower, so the spread of information is slower."

"But if you're interested, you can try your luck."

"Until the last moment, no one knows who will be the lucky one to obtain this opportunity. Perhaps Embracing Moon Sect will have that luck?" He casually laughed.

Of course, that's what he said.

But he didn't really think so.

The Fire Swallower Daoist was not weak. Looking at the past and present, he was at the top even among those in the Seventh Realm. He had even killed someone in the Eighth Realm, even if that person was weaker in the Eighth Realm, they were still in the Eighth Realm.

There were too many people who coveted the tomb of such an ancient powerhouse.

"But there are still dangers."

Seeing Lin Fan's silence, Liu Xun explained, "The Nine Great Saint Lands are too transcendent and definitely won't be interested. First-class sects might not be interested either, but second-class sects and forces will mostly not miss out."

"So, it will be chaotic and dangerous when the time comes."

"But..."

"Risk and opportunity always go hand in hand. If Embracing Moon Sect is interested, you can send a few people to go with our Liu Family and join in the fun."

"With our Liu Family's experts present, no one will dare to harm you. And if you're lucky, you might gain some good things."

Pausing for a moment, he added, "As long as you don't foolishly touch those inheritances."

Seeing Lin Fan lost in thought, Liu Xun didn't rush and just drank his tea, waiting quietly.

In his heart, he was quite pleased.

Revealing this common knowledge wouldn't have any impact at all.

It wouldn't matter if the people from Embracing Moon Sect joined in. As long as they didn't do anything stupid, who would harm them? So there wouldn't be any real danger.

And with this action, he could gain Lin Fan's favor. Next time, even if the quality of the pills didn't improve, there would be more of them~

A profitable deal, how could he not do it?

Heh!

Father always says I'm stupid, but I'm not stupid at all.

Most of the time, I'm clever as hell.
