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

Chapter 33: Pursuers, the Power of Formations Revealed

Before long, Wu Xingyun finished her busy work.

Her face visibly showed signs of distress.

Clearly, the materials required to set up these formations were extremely costly for her.

However, considering the safety of her group, she did not hesitate.

In her opinion, even if she didn't care or fear death, she couldn't let the sect leader get into trouble, especially with Fan Jianqiang around!

Although she didn't know if Fan Jianqiang had any other extraordinary abilities besides alchemy and divination, as long as they were members of the sect, she would do her best to protect them.

After finishing her work and wiping the sweat off her forehead, Wu Xingyun turned around and saw only Lin Fan standing by her side. She couldn't help but furrow her brows slightly and asked, "Hmm? Fan Jianqiang hasn't returned yet?"

Although she had divine consciousness, there were differences between men and women.

He had clearly said that he needed to "take care of business" earlier, and she couldn't keep using her divine consciousness to monitor him, so she didn't know how far along Fan Jianqiang was.

After a moment of contemplation, Lin Fan chose to act like an actor.

He suddenly felt that a lyric from a song was very suitable for his current situation.

I should cooperate with you in the performance, but I'll pretend not to see it~

Hmm, pretend that I don't know anything and turn a blind eye to everything about Fan Jianqiang.

"He should be back by now, right?"

He pretended to glance towards the depths of the dense forest.

"Then let's wait."

Wu Xingyun focused her gaze on the path they had come from, spreading out her divine consciousness to see if there were any movements.

Fortunately, after a few breaths, Fan Jianqiang emerged from the dense forest with a rustling sound. He had a simple and silly smile on his face as he rubbed the back of his head and said, "Sorry, I drank too much earlier, so I had to relieve myself for a long time."

"Elder Second, are you done with your work? Shall we go?" Wu Xingyun asked.

"Let's go!"

Without any delay, Wu Xingyun immediately led the two of them to fly at a low altitude, rushing towards the Embracing Moon Sect at the fastest speed.

However, Fan Jianqiang's expression remained extremely serious.

Not long after they flew out, his face suddenly changed. "Oh, I have a severe stomachache. I can't hold it in any longer."

Wu Xingyun furrowed her brows slightly. "You are already a Condensing Essence stage cultivator, with far better control over your physical body than ordinary people. How can you not control your bodily instincts?"

"This..."

"I have just entered the Condensing Essence stage, so I might not be very proficient yet. Besides, I tried some medicine with my body last night and ate a lot of spiritual objects. It's not just an ordinary urge to relieve myself, so... so..."

"Oh, it's about to come out."

Helpless, Wu Xingyun looked at Lin Fan.

After enduring great hardship to hide his true feelings, Lin Fan nodded lightly.

Wu Xingyun could only land again.

As soon as Fan Jianqiang landed, he covered his buttocks and ran frantically, shouting, "Oh, it's about to come out, I can't hold it in!"

Wu Xingyun: "!!!!"

"Master."

She lowered her voice. "It's not that I enjoy scheming against others or speaking ill of them behind their backs, but this person has many suspicious points. Could it be..."

Clearly, she had doubts.

How could a Condensing Essence stage cultivator be like this?

As the saying goes, a lazy donkey produces a lot of dung and urine!

Who has ever heard of a cultivator needing to relieve themselves so urgently?

Lin Fan didn't find it strange at all.

On the contrary, it would be strange if she didn't suspect anything.

After all, Fan Jianqiang, although cautious and steady, came up with these excuses that were really...

Tsk, let's not mention it.

Therefore, Lin Fan shook his head and smiled. "He is also an alchemist. It's normal to have some minor problems when experimenting with his body. Elder Second, you might be overthinking it."

"I hope I am overthinking it," Wu Xingyun sighed softly.

Just as she finished speaking...

Boom!!

A loud explosion suddenly came from the direction they had just been.

Then, there were one after another explosions, rumblings, and the sounds of cultivators using spells or slashing with their swords!

Although faint, they couldn't escape their ears.

"Based on the sound, it's the place where we just stayed."

"The formation I set up has been triggered!"

Wu Xingyun's expression changed slightly.

Lin Fan narrowed his eyes.

Before they could speak again, a series of roars echoed.

"Ah ah ah, who set up this damn formation?!"

"Don't let me catch you, otherwise, you will beg for survival but find no death!"

"Break it for me!!!"

"Break it!!!"

"Break, break, break!"

More than one voice!

They were all extremely angry. Amidst curses and roars, they were all trying their best to break the formation. The sound of rumbling was incessant.

Soon, the sound of formations being shattered came from afar.

...

At the same time, within the formation set up by Wu Xingyun, a group of five or six people were in a particularly miserable state. They were surrounded by multiple formations, covered in dirt and wounds. Two unlucky fellows had already met their demise, leaving only half of their bodies.

"Damn it!!!"

"This is a trap!"

"They were prepared long ago, setting up numerous formations here..."

"What a daring Embracing Moon Sect, daring to do this, seeking death!"

"Break the formation quickly, catch up to them, not one of them can escape!"

...

Wu Xingyun's expression changed, "We must leave immediately. There must be more than one Grotto-Heaven Realm cultivator among them, perhaps even a Finger Mystic cultivator suppressing the formation."

"Ah ah ah."

"So terrifying."

Lin Fan hadn't spoken yet, but Fan Jianqiang rushed out of the dense forest, holding up his pants and shouting, "Second Elder, let's escape quickly, they're catching up!"

"..."

At this moment, Wu Xingyun didn't say much either, immediately taking the two of them and fleeing.

However, along the way, she couldn't help but worry a little, whispering, "Master, although I set up multiple formations, judging from the sounds just now and calculating the time, they should have already broken all the formations and are currently chasing after us."

"If they catch up later, I will stay behind and hold them off. Master, you must take Fan Jianqiang and return to the sect as quickly as possible, without any delay!"

Lin Fan shook his head slightly, not saying anything.

He wasn't a saint or a good person.

But he also didn't consider himself a bad person.

This adventure was his own decision.

Bringing Fan Jianqiang along was also his choice.

Even today's events were caused by himself. If he hadn't established those rules, how could these events have happened?

Abandon the Second Elder and run away?

That's something he couldn't do.

Moreover, if he wasn't mistaken, things shouldn't be as pessimistic as they seemed.

Before this, he didn't have much confidence in confirming that Fan Jianqiang was the protagonist template of the 'Surviving Remnant Flow'. But at this moment, he was ninety percent certain.

Just based on his two 'urgent needs'.

...

It was at this moment that the group of five or six people finally broke through all the formations and chased after them with high spirits.

"Just this much!"

"Just the Embracing Moon Sect, how much heritage can they have left?!"

"We were only caught off guard, that's why we fell into their trap. Hmph, trying to run? Dream on!"

However...

Before they could run two li, they suddenly felt uneasy.

"No, something's not right."

"Why am I so uneasy?!" One of them couldn't help but speak up.

Before the words could even fall...

Boom!!!

An even more terrifying formation suddenly erupted, engulfing them before they could react...
