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

Chapter 32: The Beginning of "Stability"

"Fate?"

"Perhaps, it is indeed fate."

Fan Jianqiang muttered to himself and glanced deeply at Lin Fan.

"Disciple Fan Jianqiang, greetings..."

He bowed with clasped fists.

Is it settled like this?

Wu Xingyun was still a bit confused, but quickly said, "I am the Second Elder Wu Xingyun, and this is our Sect Master, Lin Fan."

"Greetings, Second Elder, greetings, Sect Master."

"No need for formalities."

Lin Fan laughed, "This place is not suitable for staying long. Do you have any business to attend to? If not, come back to the sect with us."

"I have no business, I will follow the arrangements of the Sect Master."

Fan Jianqiang quickly responded, then whispered, "Actually, I wanted to run away a long time ago, but I cast a divination for myself."

"Oh?"

Lin Fan was even more surprised.

Apparently, Fan Jianqiang's divination had exceeded its expiration date.

Before transmigrating, he had never seen anyone play divination so skillfully.

On the other hand, he hadn't noticed much of the characteristic of "surviving at all costs" in Fan Jianqiang.

But even if Fan Jianqiang wasn't the protagonist of the "surviving at all costs" genre, he was still not at a loss.

At least his divination skills were very useful!

Moreover...

His alchemy skills were not weak either!

Could it be that "surviving at all costs" meant developing in all aspects, becoming a hexagonal warrior?

If that's the case, it would be even more wonderful.

...

The three of them immediately left, without attracting much attention.

Once they reached a desolate place, they immediately soared into the sky.

Fan Jianqiang also restored his original appearance and directly became a First Layer Condensing Essence cultivator from an "ordinary person." Wu Xingyun was quite surprised by this.

It was hard to believe that Fan Jianqiang could hide so perfectly. She hadn't noticed any clues before!

Lin Fan, on the other hand, remained calm. After all, Xiao Ling'er had already sent a message explaining everything. But was the First Layer of Condensing Essence his true strength?

Not necessarily.

Since he could disguise himself as an ordinary person from the First Layer of Condensing Essence, why couldn't he disguise himself as a higher realm, pretending to be a First Layer Condensing Essence cultivator?

And if he really was the protagonist of "surviving at all costs," then the possibility was very high!

Unfortunately, he had not yet been formally accepted into the sect, and there were people around him. It wouldn't be easy to explain if his cultivation suddenly skyrocketed. Otherwise... he really wanted to immediately share his strength and see what realm Fan Jianqiang was in!

Looking forward to it!

And to determine whether Fan Jianqiang was indeed the protagonist of "surviving at all costs" was very simple.

Just return to the sect, let him formally join the Embracing Moon Sect, and then share his strength.

"If he really is the protagonist of 'surviving at all costs'..."

"At least he has hidden a major realm!"

Even a major realm was just the beginning!

The anticipation grew stronger.

Wu Xingyun's speed was extremely fast.

She exerted all her strength and quickly flew away with the two of them.

After all, the Hongwu Immortal City was too powerful, and the two who had made a name for themselves in this alchemy competition were now disciples of the Embracing Moon Sect. If they were targeted by someone, it would inevitably cause trouble.

However...

Halfway through the flight, Fan Jianqiang expressed his unease.

"Second Elder, although flying at such a fast speed is indeed quick, I think it's a bit risky."

"Oh?"

Wu Xingyun was puzzled, "Why is it inappropriate?"

"To return to Embracing Moon Sect as quickly as possible for greater safety."

"Forgive me for being blunt."

Fan Jianqiang sighed, "The strength of Embracing Moon Sect is not outstanding. Even if we return immediately, if there are strong opponents, we won't have much chance of winning. It will be difficult for us to even protect ourselves."

"Moreover, you haven't been hiding your whereabouts! The Second Elder is not an unknown figure either. I believe he has already been recognized."

"Even if they don't know my identity, Senior Sister Xiao Ling'er won the first place in this alchemy conference. The things in her possession are already suspicious."

"That's why Embracing Moon Sect is now easily targeted by others."

"If we don't make some preparations, this journey will be full of dangers. Without preparations, we might even die."

Wu Xingyun frowned slightly, "It doesn't necessarily mean we will die, right? But if we want to make preparations, it will inevitably delay time, which is equally dangerous."

"I wonder if the Second Elder has studied formations?"

Fan Jianqiang pondered, "If we set up some formations, it might delay the pursuers for a while."

Here they come.

Guo Sheng started to 'guo'.

Lin Fan smiled slightly, "Second Elder, I think Fan Jianqiang's words make sense."

"Then let's set up some formations."

Wu Xingyun pondered, "Fortunately, I have studied some formations over the years. It is not difficult to set up Rank Four formations that can block the Fourth Realm without consuming too much time."

After speaking, Wu Xingyun began to act.

Using the clouds in the sky, the towering trees on the ground, and many elemental stones and formation flags as the core, he set up many formations.

Unexpectedly, Guo Sheng was still not satisfied.

He said again, "The sky is too open and not easy to hide. If we encounter someone proficient in formations, they will probably be able to see through it at a glance and choose to go around. In my opinion..."

"We might as well deliberately leave some traces and lure the pursuers into the dense forest below, and then set up formations in the forest. This way, we can greatly increase our chances of success."

Wu Xingyun frowned slightly and looked at Lin Fan.

Lin Fan nodded quietly.

Seeing his agreement, Wu Xingyun wasted no time and immediately started to act.

He took out his spiritual sword and scattered a large amount of sword light, leaving behind Sword Intent fluctuations. At the same time, he destroyed a part of the dense forest below. Then, with the two of them, he rushed down and left behind some battle traces and footprints before starting to set up formations.

Halfway through setting up the formations, Fan Jianqiang suddenly trembled, "Ahem, I need to go to the bathroom, I need to go to the bathroom."

"Master, Second Elder, you carry on, I'll be right back."

Lin Fan's mouth curled up slightly, "Go ahead."

With a glimpse of Fan Jianqiang quickly retreating, Lin Fan's smile grew even stronger.

"I thought you wouldn't take action."

"This doesn't fit Guo Sheng's style."

What does it mean to 'guo'?

'Guo' means to survive by any means necessary, extremely cowardly, unwilling to take even the slightest risk.

But in reality...

He has countless hidden cards, extremely 'cautious' and 'prudent', and will not take action unless he is a hundred percent certain. Even if there is a success rate of ninety-eight percent, in the eyes of such a person, it is still 'certain death'.

For such a person, knowing that they are being targeted and that Embracing Moon Sect is also being targeted, how could they feel at ease and complacent with just the Second Elder setting up some Rank Four formations?

At this moment, it seems like he's running away...

But Lin Fan is convinced that he must have gone to 'increase the chances of success'.

That's being cautious!

"However, this also indirectly shows that Fan Jianqiang is truly a hexagonal warrior?!"

"Alchemy, divination, and cultivation should not be low. Now it seems that his formation attainments should be even higher than the Second Elder's?!"

Thinking of this, Lin Fan couldn't help but feel more anticipation.

Although he roughly knows what Fan Jianqiang is going to do, but... how far can he go?

"I'm really looking forward to it."

Thank you all for your continued support. I wish you all good health, good luck, and the company of beautiful women.

Thank you 'Luoyu's Winter', 'Little Master Yichen', 'Love Remains Empty' and other students for your support, thank you.
