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

Chapter 35: Fan Jianqiang: Did I expose myself?

"I want to see what tricks you still have up your sleeve."

Lin Fan was quite looking forward to it.

While the second elder set up the formation again and Fan Jianqiang made a comeback, a person descended gracefully within the range of the formation that Wu Xingyun had broken.

"Are you prepared?"

"These formations are all ordinary, like the work of a small sect elder. They only managed to kill two young newcomers to the Grotto-Heaven Realm by force."

He wasn't very interested, walking forward with a speed as fast as Shrink the Earth to an Inch.

In just a few steps, he arrived a couple of miles away, looking at the forest that had been completely destroyed and turned into a huge pit, smelling the faint smell of blood in the air, he furrowed his brows slightly.

"There are still formations?!"

He didn't approach rashly, but carefully observed around the huge pit.

Soon, he discovered some clues.

"The formation in the previous place was nothing special, I could break it easily."

"But this formation here..."

"Hiss!"

"The Seven Absolute Killing Formation, the Endless Sword Formation, the Blood Sea Annihilation Formation, the Fifth Trapped Formation... all of them are famous formations, even if they are all simplified or incomplete versions, they are still quite impressive!"

"And there are multiple formations intertwined and complex, with you in me and me in you."

What's most astonishing is that they were arranged so hidden and naturally.

Even if I were to come in person, I might not be able to discover them in advance. And if triggered, I might not be able to escape unscathed."

"When did the second elder of the Embracing Moon Sect, Wu Xingyun, have such a high level of formation skills?!"

Gululu!

Liu Xun swallowed his saliva.

Even though he was considered a top expert in the Liu family, with his cultivation already reaching the Finger Mystic Fifth Layer, at this moment, he felt dry-mouthed and fearful.

The Liu family had many eyes and ears!

And their target from the beginning was Fan Jianqiang, so they had been closely monitoring him.

Wu Xingyun wasn't their focus, but when Wu Xingyun went to talk to an ordinary fortune teller, it was worth paying attention to. After that, when Fan Jianqiang revealed his true face, some people saw it, so the Liu family naturally received the news and rushed over as soon as possible.

However, they were still a step too late.

From a distance, they saw the huge shockwave soaring into the sky, and Liu Xun, who was worried that Fan Jianqiang had been killed, couldn't help but quicken his pace to catch up.

But now he saw this scene...

He couldn't help but fall into deep thought!

This was the temporary route of the Embracing Moon Sect, which completely ruled out the possibility of others setting up formations to intercept them.

Moreover, the two formations were so close to each other, it was basically impossible for them to be set up by unrelated people.

In other words, these formations must have been set up by the Embracing Moon Sect.

Even if it wasn't Wu Xingyun, it must be someone who was cooperating with him.

But when did the Embracing Moon Sect have such means?!

Liu Xun looked into the distance and muttered to himself, "There must be other means, but I can't be careless. Otherwise, if I fall into such a formation again, even I..."

Hmm?

He couldn't help but stop and look to the right.

A group of cultivators came rushing over.

Seeing Liu Xun, they were only slightly wary, not afraid.

"The source of that intense fluctuation just now was here!"

"It doesn't seem like a fight between two people, but more like an ambush."

"One side is already dead."

"The other... ran this way."

"Although we don't know why they clashed, it seems that one side had something the other side coveted. If we catch up and kill them, that thing will be ours."

"Even if there isn't, there should be a decent harvest by hunting them down!"

"Chase!"

They came quickly and left quickly.

Liu Xun just watched silently without saying a word.

It wasn't until they were far away that he sneered, "Hunters."

"Unfortunately, their eyesight is too poor."

"They can't even see through these formations, yet they want to take advantage?"

"Equivalent to sending oneself to death."

After saying that, he took another deep look at the big pit before lifting his foot to catch up.

Sure enough, not long after, terrifying rumbling sounds continued to echo, accompanied by cries of misery.

Liu Xun laughed.

"Foolish, it seems to align perfectly with what I had in mind."

He approached slowly, but what he saw surprised him slightly.

"Hmm?!"

"No, it's not a formation?!"

He was astonished.

"It's talismans!"

"Although these hunters may not be powerful, there are also Grotto-Heaven Seventh and Eighth Layer cultivators among them. However, they were easily dealt with by mere talismans. The preciousness of these talismans is probably..."

His mouth twitched slightly, unable to laugh anymore.

Looking at the scattered limbs and arms on the ground, he became even more surprised.

However, he then saw the shattered storage bags and scattered resources of these hunters.

A smile appeared on his face again.

"Interesting."

"Today's luck is not bad. Without even making a move, I managed to pick up all the belongings of a group of hunters."

He waved his sleeve, collecting all the resources into his storage bag, and began to track once again...

...

"Hmm?"

"Another rumbling sound?!"

Just as Lin Fan and the other two were setting off, they heard rumbling sounds and cries of misery coming from behind.

"Who is fighting?!" Wu Xingyun frowned.

Fan Jianqiang started to "cause trouble": "Elder Second, didn't you set up a formation in that area?"

"No," Wu Xingyun shook her head gently. "That area..."

She suddenly looked at Fan Jianqiang. "It seems like the place where you made your appearance."

"Huh?"

Fan Jianqiang was confused, then quickly waved his hands. "Elder Second, what are you talking about?"

"Could it be that the things I arranged are still so terrifying?"

"What does this have to do with me?"

However, Wu Xingyun didn't say anything more. She just stared at him with deep eyes.

"That's it!"

At this moment, her mind was filled with countless thoughts, realizing her own foolishness.

"He is someone who meets the requirements of the eighth rule of the sect's regulations. How can he be judged by common sense?!"

"He appears harmless and honest, but in reality, he is definitely not as simple as he seems on the surface."

"Otherwise, why would the sect master attach such importance to him?"

However, she still didn't understand what made Fan Jianqiang so extraordinary, but at this moment, Wu Xingyun was already certain that this guy was definitely not an ordinary person!

Just like how she couldn't understand the sect master's rules, even though she couldn't see through Fan Jianqiang, this person must be extraordinary!

She kept staring at Fan Jianqiang until he felt uneasy, then slowly withdrew her gaze.

"This really has nothing to do with me. I'm just a mere junior cultivator who has just entered the Condensing Essence realm. What qualifications do I have?"

Fan Jianqiang shrugged. "Perhaps some senior passed by here before and left behind some means?"

Wu Xingyun chuckled. "That's also a possibility."

This performance made Fan Jianqiang feel uncertain.

Why did he feel like he had exposed something?

But this shouldn't be the case!

He had always been cautious in his actions, and how could she start suspecting him in such a short period of time? Her reaction was too quick!

He clearly didn't show any flaws!

Could it be that this Elder Second was too clever?

He couldn't help but look at Lin Fan, who had a calm expression, and thought to himself, "The sect master is better. He never doubted me at all."
