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

Chapter 36: The Sect Master Seems a Bit Cunning

Fan Jianqiang felt that the Sect Master was really good.

Without saying much, he always stood by his side and never doubted him. How nice!

The Second Elder, on the other hand, couldn't be trusted. That look in his eyes definitely meant he was suspicious of me.

Sigh, it's difficult.

He sighed inwardly, but then he vaguely felt that something was off. "If the Sect Master is truly this honest, how could he have the Second Elder under such control?"

"There must be hidden motives!"

"And, what about that sentence the Sect Master said earlier..."

Fan Jianqiang suddenly realized.

The Sect Master is an honest person?!

At first glance, it certainly seemed that way, but upon closer analysis, there seemed to be many doubts.

In other words...

If he's not an honest person, then he must be someone with incredible scheming, cunning, and acting skills!

"No, I can't continue to see him as an honest person in the future, even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance. I have to be more cautious, especially in front of the Sect Master."

"I always feel like he's much more 'cunning' than the seemingly astute Second Elder."

They were still on the run.

Liu Xun continued to chase after them from behind.

He was a Finger Mystic realm cultivator, and being alone, he naturally had a faster speed.

But the previous waves of formations and talismans made him cautious. He didn't dare to charge recklessly, instead carefully investigating every area. As a result, his speed was slowed down.

He couldn't catch up in a short period of time.

Until...

He discovered another area filled with formations.

"Another formation?"

"Judging from the scale, it's not much different from the ordinary formations before. It should be the work of one person. Those who can track me here won't be stopped by these formations."

"Could it be that there are even more astonishing formations ahead?"

"Using the same trick again?"

He smiled. "Who would be so foolish?"

"But it can still mislead others."

Liu Xun suddenly had a clever idea.

He guessed that there must be other formations nearby, but it didn't matter. He could simply take a bath in this ordinary formation and make them think he was trapped, and then...

Just do it like that!

Liu Xun no longer hesitated and stepped into the formation.

With a smile on his face, he didn't care at all.

These formations could already deal with cultivators at the slightly stronger Fourth Realm. But he was in the Fifth Finger Mystic realm, so what could they do to him?

However, the result far exceeded his expectations.

Just as he stepped into the formation, he instantly felt disoriented and everything around him shifted.

Everything had changed.

If the previous formations were harmless little mice, then what he faced now was a group of hungry wolves and fierce tigers. Moreover, these tigers had become even more cunning!

"What?!"

"I've been tricked!"

"I'm in trouble!"

Liu Xun instantly understood that he had been tricked.

The opponent changed their strategy!

How the hell is this formation meant to deceive the enemy and make them lower their guard?! It's clearly a bait, and the target is someone like me who thinks too highly of themselves!

So...

Have I become the fool I always mocked?

Damn it!

Liu Xun's thoughts raced, and he thought of many things in an instant.

However, none of it mattered.

Even if he acted immediately, he was still instantly swallowed up by the terrifying fluctuations of the formation.

"Ah!!!"

A scream echoed from far away.

...

"Elder Wu's power is invincible, once again striking down the enemy. I admire you like the endless flowing river, unstoppable like the flooding Yellow River~!"

Before Wu Xingyun could speak, Fan Jianqiang immediately showered her with a series of exaggerated compliments.

The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, but in the end, she remained silent.

At this point, how could she not understand that it was absolutely impossible for her to be the one behind it?

Once could be considered a coincidence or an accident.

But twice, three times?

Where did all these coincidences come from in the world!

Seeing her silent, Fan Jianqiang was not in a hurry either.

Anyway, as long as she doesn't suspect herself, it's fine~

Just that~~~

His eyes rolled around: "Second Elder, I can't hold it anymore, can I..."

This time, Wu Xingyun didn't ask Lin Fan, she just stopped and said, "Go."

"Sorry."

Fan Jianqiang once again covered his butt and disappeared into the depths of the jungle.

······

"Master, why aren't you surprised at all?"

Wu Xingyun couldn't help but ask, "How did you know where he came from?"

"I don't know."

Lin Fan shrugged.

He really didn't lie.

Who knows where he came from?

All I know is that he's a survivor~ cough.

After hearing this, Wu Xingyun wanted to say something but stopped.

Don't know? Don't know and yet you personally set off and brought me along to find him? Don't know and yet you trust him so much?! I don't believe you!

But in the end, she didn't say these words out loud, she just secretly made up her mind...

Not saying it?

Then I'll observe for myself!

I don't believe that I can't dig up Fan Jianqiang's background!

It's not just out of curiosity, but also because she is somewhat worried about Fan Jianqiang's character and motives.

Unlike Xiao Ling'er.

Xiao Ling'er is the kind of person who can see through things at a glance, with a very good nature.

But Fan Jianqiang...

He's too elusive.

And he's so timid, if you put it nicely, it's cautious, if you put it bluntly, it's cowardly.

Taking in someone like him into the Embracing Moon Sect naturally requires careful observation!

······

Liu Xun was stunned by the explosion.

He collapsed on the ground, his life hanging by a thread, already unconscious.

A Daoist figure appeared stealthily.

He peeked out from behind a big tree, then took out two straw men that transformed into human forms and approached. After confirming that the other party was indeed unconscious and unresponsive, he used the straw men to take away his storage bag, and then quietly left.

As for the two straw men...

They were burned directly.

Along the way, this figure chuckled strangely.

"Reaping both fame and fortune."

"Fame belongs to you, fortune belongs to me."

"Hehehe."

"···"

······

Before long.

Fan Jianqiang came back, holding his stomach.

"Master, Second Elder, sorry to keep you waiting. I have completely cleaned up, let's go?"

Lin Fan nodded with a smile.

Wu Xingyun's mouth twitched, but she didn't say anything, leading the two of them towards the Embracing Moon Sect.

······

At the same time.

Xiao Ling'er, Duan Qingyao, and the other three elders returned to the mountain gate one after another.

Their journey was unusually peaceful.

Due to the secret technique of disguise, no one noticed them. They thought Xiao Ling'er was still hiding in the city, so those who were interested either blocked the gate outside Hongwu Immortal City or were investigating inside the city.

They never expected that they had quietly returned to the Embracing Moon Sect.

But...

Everyone knows that returning to the Embracing Moon Sect does not mean safety.

The current tranquility is just the calm before the storm.

Xiao Ling'er's face was tense.

The Grand Elder, Su Xinghai, saw her worry and couldn't help but smile, "You have taken the position of the leader and brought fame to our Embracing Moon Sect in the southwest region. This is the fortune of our Embracing Moon Sect. Moreover, you have returned unharmed. Even if we old folks are lying in our coffins, we would still wake up with a smile."

"Why worry so much?"
