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

Chapter 68: Departure, White Emperor City

"Brother Lin, we are ready to depart. Has your Embracing Moon Sect confirmed the manpower?" Liu Xun asked.

Facing Liu Xun's inquiry, Lin Fan replied immediately, "It has been confirmed. Where shall we meet?"

"You teleport to the Liu family first, and then we will all go together through the teleportation array," Liu Xun explained.

"Alright!"

With a few simple sentences to confirm the situation, Lin Fan immediately gathered his team and set off.

The personnel arrangement was simple, consisting of only Lin Fan, Xiao Ling'er, Fan Jianqiang, and the Elder.

After all, the previous divination by Lin Fan had determined this configuration. Since the divination indicated great fortune, there was no need to change it arbitrarily. The sect did not need to worry too much about it.

With the support of a brand new formation, cultivators at the Fifth Realm would not pose much of a threat, and cultivators at the Sixth Realm would generally not appear randomly. After all, Embracing Moon Sect had not yet offended such powerful individuals.

At least not openly.

Even if a cultivator at the Sixth Realm of Knowing Destiny were to come, the formation would be able to delay them for some time, enough for Wu Xingyun and the others who stayed behind to seek help from the Liu family.

Therefore, Lin Fan's departure was quite relaxed.

Xiao Ling'er was very excited.

The Elder, on the other hand, had a serious expression and was even prepared to protect the path with his life.

As for Fan Jianqiang...

This guy was crying and even held onto seven lucky charms, wiping his tears and nose as if he would never return. This made everyone feel speechless.

"Jianqiang..."

On the way, the Elder couldn't help but say, "You are the direct disciple of the Sect Master, carrying the hope of our Embracing Moon Sect's revival. The sect will provide you with all the resources you need. Why..."

He found it difficult to understand.

As a "native," the Elder had never read any novels and didn't know what a damn protagonist template was. He only knew that a prodigy should act like a prodigy.

He didn't understand before why Lin Fan would choose a strange girl like Xiao Ling'er as his direct disciple.

But later on, Xiao Ling'er proved herself and also proved Lin Fan's insight and standards.

So, he, as well as the other Elders, had high expectations for Fan Jianqiang.

However, in these past few months, Fan Jianqiang had repeatedly disappointed their expectations.

This kid not only failed to show any signs of being a prodigy, but instead displayed extreme cowardice, laziness, and idleness.

In his many years of life, the Elder had never seen a cultivator like him.

Clearly, he was chosen by the Sect Master and made a direct disciple. Even if he couldn't compare to Xiao Ling'er, he should at least have the demeanor of an ordinary genius, walking proudly and making great strides forward!

But now...

He was even slower in cultivation than those damn seven lucky charms, and in other aspects, he was even more of a mess!

This directly made the Elder unable to hold back and even suspect: Could it be that the Sect Master made a mistake? Fan Jianqiang, this child, doesn't show even a hint of prodigious talent?

Difficult to hold back!

Fortunately, Fan Jianqiang had some self-awareness. Although the sect's treasure trove was open to him, he had hardly touched anything.

In the eyes of the seven lucky charms, Fan Jianqiang had some potential.

But in the eyes of the Elder, this made it even more difficult to hold back!

He didn't even want resources. Wasn't this completely giving up?

"Elder."

Inside the teleportation array, Fan Jianqiang, with tears in his eyes, said, "We are seeking longevity and freedom!"

Elder Su Xinghai: "..."

You brat!!!

Buzz!

The teleportation array lit up, and Lin Fan and the other three disappeared. Wu Xingyun immediately took out a few spirit stones, causing the teleportation array on this side to be paralyzed.

...

The Liu family.

Liu Xun had already brought people to guard outside the teleportation array.

Suddenly, a silver light flickered, and Lin Fan and the other three walked out of the teleportation array.

"Brother Lin, Elder Su."

"Liu Brother~!"

When the two sides met, they were all smiling.

But when Liu Xun saw Xiao Ling'er and Fan Jianqiang, his expression changed slightly: "Brother Lin, are you planning to take them with you?"

"To broaden their horizons."

Lin Fan nodded with a smile.

Liu Xun's eyes flickered: "I see. Brother Lin, why don't you have some spiritual tea and spiritual fruits first? One of our elders from the Liu family has some urgent matters to attend to, but will join us later."

"No rush."

Several people behind Liu Xun were taken aback.

They asked through voice transmission, "Young Master, everyone is here. Why did you say..."

"Nonsense!"

"Go, inform my father and ask for a powerful ancestor to come forward. This journey must be taken more seriously!"

"Why?"

"Why? You always say I'm stupid, but I think you guys are the real stupid ones. Don't you recognize Xiao Ling'er and Fan Jianqiang? Their alchemy talent is astonishing. If Lin Fan takes them along, it won't be peaceful."

"You mean, we need to send another elder to ensure safety?"

"Of course! Hurry up!"

"Yes!"

After the voice transmission ended, Liu Xun continued to accompany Lin Fan with a smile.

But in his heart, he was thinking about many things.

Sending another expert would be more secure, and in case of any unexpected situations with the Embracing Moon Sect~~~ right? At least we can protect these two!

...

"Oh? Those two alchemists are going too?"

The head of the Liu family pondered for a moment. "Has Uncle Er come out of seclusion?"

"He has already come out!"

"Then let Uncle Er go! He can secretly follow them, no need to show himself unless necessary."

"Yes, Head of the family!"

This elder was secretly surprised.

To let Uncle Er go?

But upon further thought, it made sense.

The pills obtained from the Embracing Moon Sect in the past few months were all good things.

Even if they weren't high-level pills, they were excellent for cultivating the younger generation. Therefore, it was only natural to value the Embracing Moon Sect and those two alchemy geniuses.

...

After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Lin Fan and the others set off.

After leaving the Liu family, they headed straight for the giant teleportation array in Hongwu Immortal City.

On the way, Liu Xun chatted casually, "The tomb of the Swallowing Fire Daoist is in the far north of our southwestern region. It's too far and slow to travel there on our own."

"According to the news from there, the array will be activated in the next two days, so we can only make it in time by using the teleportation array."

"We'll first go to White Emperor City in the far north of the southwestern region, and then fly over. It should take about half a day."

"This journey may be dangerous, so Brother Lin, you can decide based on the situation when we enter."

"But with our Liu family present, as long as we don't touch those particularly precious things, we shouldn't attract attention."

"I understand."

Lin Fan clasped his hands, but he couldn't help but feel doubtful.

It's a copy belonging to the 'Flame Emperor,' and the 'Flame Emperor' is following us. You're telling me not to touch those particularly precious things?

I'm afraid that's not possible!

In the rear.

Xiao Ling'er's face was a bit conflicted.

"Teacher, if we succeed on this journey, won't it bring even greater danger to the sect?"

"Your disguise technique, combined with your soul power, can only prevent me from being recognized by cultivators three realms higher than me. It seems useless for this journey."

She naturally wanted to obtain the Unextinguished Flame Swallowing Art.

But if it brings disaster to the sect, or even the extinction of our lineage and inheritance...

She wouldn't want that either!
