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

Chapter 60: You're pushing me into a fire pit.

"That's only natural."

"As an ally, Lin Zongzhu, you have pleasantly surprised me. How could I let you down?"

Liu Xun patted his chest. "You wait for a moment. We will start right away. It won't take an hour to set up the formation. We can discuss everything else after we succeed."

Originally, he was quite annoyed and conflicted about the price he paid for showing off.

But at this moment, he was very excited.

An Eighth Grade Grotto-Heaven pill!

When I bring it back, I will definitely be richly rewarded, right?

After all, Father still loves me.

What does a mere monthly allowance amount to?

"Hiss!"

Seeing Liu Xun and the others turning around to go down the mountain to set up the formation, Lin Fan couldn't help but gasp and exclaimed, "Brother Liu is truly worthy of being the young master of the Liu family, and the two elders are also incredibly powerful!"

"A formation that covers twenty-five spiritual mountains and can temporarily block a cultivator at the Sixth Realm, and it only takes a mere hour?"

"Admiration!"

"Admiration to the extreme!"

Of course!

Isn't it natural for this young master to be amazing?

Being praised, Liu Xun was in a state of excitement, but suddenly reacted, "Huh? Brother Lin, what are you... talking about? What twenty-five spiritual mountains?"

At this moment.

One of the elders suddenly took out a sound transmission jade talisman. After a moment, his face trembled, and he solemnly said, "The latest news."

"The Eight Sword Sect, Golden Eagle Sect, and Peach Blossom Sect were attacked at night and completely destroyed. Most of their territories have fallen into the hands of the Embracing Moon Sect and... the Liu family."

Liu Xun was stunned. "How is this possible?!"

"Why didn't I know?"

Damn it!

They're trying to push me into a fire pit!

Liu Xun was dumbfounded.

The seven elders of the Liu family furrowed their brows and looked at Lin Fan. "Lin Zongzhu, although we have formed an alliance, this matter has nothing to do with our Liu family. It seems inappropriate for you to involve the Liu family."

"You're mistaken!"

Anticipating that they had something to say, Lin Fan had already prepared his words. He spoke righteously, "As the saying goes, we share both glory and loss."

"Now that we have formed an alliance, and we are mutually supportive, why bother about these details?"

"You have also witnessed the abilities of the Embracing Moon Sect. Even with just one mountain and limited resources, we can refine such high-quality pills. If we have more resources, a better environment, and abundant spiritual energy..."

"We will undoubtedly greatly enhance the strength of the Embracing Moon Sect!"

"With the improvement in strength, all aspects of our abilities will naturally improve."

"Forgive me for speaking bluntly."

Lin Fan lowered his voice. "The premise of the cooperation between the Liu family and the Embracing Moon Sect is based on pills."

"Now, the Embracing Moon Sect is only borrowing the reputation of the Liu family and has not caused any harm to the Liu family. On the contrary, after some time, we can produce even higher-level and higher-quality pills..."

"For the Liu family, this is also a good thing, isn't it?"

The seven elders were speechless.

What you said sounds reasonable and logical at first listen.

He also admitted that the Embracing Moon Sect had indeed surprised the Liu family twice in a row, but can twenty-five spiritual mountains be compared to one?

In his opinion, there was no problem with borrowing the reputation of the Liu family. In fact, even if the Liu family's flag was not raised, only the flag of the Embracing Moon Sect, if anyone dared to cause trouble, the Liu family would still step forward.

Even if they didn't take action, they would at least speak out against it.

So raising the flag was not a big deal.

But, what you mean is clearly asking us to expand the range of the formation by more than a hundred times!

Although it seems like it has changed from one spiritual mountain to twenty-five, the size of the spiritual mountains is different, and they can't be placed right next to each other, right?!

There are various terrains such as plains, valleys, and basins in the middle, right?

Now, the entire area where the twenty-five Ling Mountains are located, along with the surrounding regions, has become the territory of your Embracing Moon Sect. If you want to set up a large protective formation to cover all of it, even increasing the range by a hundred times would still be an understatement.

It's very likely to be several hundred times!

The investment required for this is enormous!

Liu Xun gradually realized this and his face turned green.

The excitement from earlier dissipated instantly.

He could withstand a formation that covered only one mountain peak, but protecting the twenty-five Ling Mountains with a large protective formation...

Oh my god!

How many years of monthly resources would it take to fill such a hole?!

"Ah, this..." Liu Xun's mouth twitched. "Cough, Brother Lin, I just received the news and didn't know beforehand that you had already taken control of most of the Ling Mountains from the three sects. So, I wasn't adequately prepared."

"It seems that we won't be able to set up this formation right now."

"We need to go back and bring some materials and formation foundations, and then make a plan..."

"I see. That's reasonable, very reasonable!" Lin Fan nodded. "However, Embracing Moon Sect is currently in a precarious situation, and it's a time of many troubles. The five elders are also not in the sect, so there is no formation protection. It's too dangerous!"

"How about..."

"The three of you split up, with one person going back to get the necessary materials, while the other two immediately start setting up the formation?"

Liu Xun and the others frowned.

Isn't this like forcing a duck onto a perch?

Seeing their lack of response, Lin Fan was quite surprised. "Could it be that there is something you're not telling me?"

"Or... you actually don't know how to set up the formation for Embracing Moon Sect?"

"But it's okay. Even if you are only... able to cooperate with the Liu family, it would still be our honor. If that's the case, we'll figure out a solution ourselves."

That's quite a statement!

If they were modern people, they would definitely retort: Are you kidding me?

This is not just forcing a duck onto a perch anymore.

This is a situation where not doing it is not an option!

At this moment, even the two elders, who have seen and experienced a lot, felt that they couldn't save face, let alone Liu Xun, who was young and had a good reputation.

"Brother Lin, why do you say that? Has the Liu family ever been untrustworthy?"

"Just now, I was only considering how much material we might need. And what you said makes sense. Embracing Moon Sect is indeed in a dire situation."

"Two elders, be prepared. I'll go back and bring the materials, and then we'll set up the formation together!"

The two elders looked at each other in astonishment.

Wow, are you serious?

For a protective formation of this scale, which needs to temporarily withstand a sixth realm expert, how many valuable things would it take? Can you bring them out???

But at this moment, they also couldn't refuse and could only nod in agreement.

Anyway, even if Liu Xun ends up not losing in the end, it won't be our fault. The most embarrassing one won't be us.

...

"Dad."

Plop.

As soon as he saw his father, Liu Xun immediately knelt down, steady and firm.

The head of the Liu family's mind jumped. "Something happened again?"

"Dad, it's not a big deal, strictly speaking, it's good news. It's just... this..."

"Speak properly!"

"Well, this time, Embracing Moon Sect has more elixirs, and the quality is higher. There are Ninth Grade elixirs like Condensing Essence Pill and Profound Essence Pill, and even six Eight Grade Grotto-Heaven Pills!!!"

"Oh?!" The head of the Liu family couldn't help but be overjoyed. "Indeed, I didn't misjudge you!"
