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

Chapter 78: The downfall of the Long Family, a bountiful harvest. Lin Fan is not a human being - 20,000 words.

The powerful members of the Feather Clan were all in a panic.

What the f*ck, where is our Divine Child?!

Where did our mighty third Divine Child, Yu Mo, go???

In fact, they all knew what was going on. After all, the Feather Clan's intelligence and information were much better than those second-rate sects.

They also knew that in this situation, anyone who was still alive would have been teleported out.

Those who didn't come out?

They were dead.

But...

The third Divine Child is dead?!

They couldn't believe it!

If the third Divine Child really died, they would not have a good time either!!!

As protectors, both openly and secretly, they were responsible for Yu Mo's safety. And now, in such a small place, the third Divine Child died???

This is a complete disaster.

They exclaimed in shock.

People from other forces were also surprised.

Who dares to kill the Feather Clan's Divine Child?! They must be fearless!

Originally, they were itching to make a move against Xiao Ling'er and seize the Strange Fire!

The elders of the Liu Family were almost scared to death, and even the hidden powerhouses of the Liu Family couldn't help but want to come out.

But the sudden exclamation from the Feather Clan made everyone stop in their tracks and turn their heads to look at the Feather Clan... Only then did they realize that their bodies were stiff, and even turning their heads made their necks crack.

The protectors of Yu Mo were almost going crazy.

This was a peak expert in the Sixth Knowing Destiny Realm. Although not too strong, they were enough to dominate in this realm.

But at this moment, he had lost all composure. His Monster Qi was uncontrollable, causing a whirlwind and flying sand and rocks.

"You, tell me!!"

He pointed at a trembling young member of the Feather Clan, who immediately spewed blood and almost died.

The elders of the Long Family saw that the situation was not good and instantly pulled Long Aotian to retreat.

They didn't even care about the other young members of the Long Family.

They knew their own affairs better than anyone else. If they had to say who was most likely to kill the Feather Clan's third Divine Child, it would undoubtedly be Long Aotian!

Most of the others didn't have the strength, and even if they did, they didn't have the guts.

But Long Aotian was different. This kid really dared to kill!

And he definitely had the strength.

So, after discovering that Yu Mo had died, their first reaction was that it was done by Long Aotian.

At this moment, seeing that things were about to be exposed, why didn't they hurry up and leave or wait for death?!

Returning to the Long Family might still have a glimmer of hope, but if they stayed, with their strength at the Fifth Finger Mystic Realm, they would undoubtedly die!

They retreated.

The young Feather Clan Monster Cultivator also realized what was happening and said with bloodshot eyes, "It was done by Long Aotian!!!"

"We will fight to the death to stop him, no matter the cost, but we are no match for him. We were almost wiped out by him..."

"And he also took away the treasures and the golden stele that recorded the secret technique found by the Divine Child!"

"How dare he!!!"

The protectors of the Feather Clan instantly went mad!

There were nine visible protectors, most of them at the Eighth Ninth Layer of the Fifth Realm, with only the leader at the First Layer of the Sixth Realm.

But the hidden protectors who followed them were at the peak of the Sixth Realm!

In an instant, the protector at the peak of the Sixth Realm returned to his true form.

It was a golden eagle with wings spanning several miles, covering the sky and blocking the way of the people from the Long Family.

"Do you dare to run?!"

Boom!

It flapped its wings again, and the fierce wind was like a heavenly blade, like a sudden rain, rushing towards them.

"Ah!!!"

The elders of the Long Family all let out a desperate roar, unleashing all their strength at this moment to resist, but it was useless.

Not only was there a difference of more than one realm, but the gap in all aspects, such as cultivation techniques, secret arts, and combat experience, was insurmountable. They couldn't stop it at all.

In just a few breaths, all their defensive measures were broken through, and then they were swept away by the storm of "wind blades."

In an instant, they turned into a pile of "meat slices."

The elders of the Long Family, along with the other young members of the Long Family, died without exception!

Only Long Aotian remained standing in place, still looking proud, even with his hands behind his back, facing the evil-eyed golden eagle.

"Who gave you the courage?!"

The evil eye golden eagle's eyes were filled with terrifying ripples, and its innate Divine Ability was brewing.

"Hahaha, why? He disrespected me, damn it!"

Long Aotian laughed madly, "Moreover, he couldn't even take a single move from me. This ant dares to be arrogant in front of me, he's just asking for death!"

"Alright, alright, you're very good!"

The evil eye golden eagle roared, "You will suffer countless tortures, unable to live or die. Your entire Long family will be buried with you!"

"You want to kill me?"

"Can you do it?"

Long Aotian was even more arrogant, as if he didn't care at all, he said, "In my life, Long Aotian, I don't need others to watch over me."

"I hold the sun and moon, pluck the stars. There is no one like me in the world!"

"If you dare to touch a member of my Long family, I will kill a hundred beasts from your feathered tribe."

"If you dare to destroy my Long family, one day, the Immortal Martial Continent will no longer have wet, egg-laying, fur-covered beasts!"

"Such audacity, truly audacious!"

The evil eye golden eagle was furious, "Destroy my feathered tribe? I will let you witness the destruction of the Long family!"

"Seal him!"

It angrily extended its "Kun Claw," intending to seal Long Aotian and go to the White Emperor City, pressuring the Liu family to leave, and then slaughter them all!

In its eyes, capturing a mere fourth realm junior and sealing him was a piece of cake, nothing more than a sure thing.

However, a sudden change occurred!

Long Aotian suddenly made a move, in an instant, an immeasurable divine light erupted.

Even in the clear sky, countless starlights descended from the sky and gathered on Long Aotian's body. Then, a terrifying punch was unleashed.

"The Fist of Ten Thousand Stars Breaking the Sun!"

With a magnificent aura accompanied by strange phenomena, it was as if countless stars were joining forces to attack the Sun Star!

"What?!"

The evil eye golden eagle was greatly shocked.

Boom!!!

The seemingly small fist collided with the huge "Kun Claw," but the result was completely opposite.

Bang!!!

The chicken claw that the evil eye golden eagle extended exploded!

Long Aotian's nose and mouth bled, but there were no obvious external injuries.

In the moment the opponent was stunned, he coldly snorted, "Bullying the weak with the strong, old thing, I will remember you. Don't die by someone else's hand, your life belongs to me!"

"When I return, I will slaughter your feathered tribe!"

"Die!"

The evil eye golden eagle went crazy and attacked again.

However, Long Aotian's figure instantly blurred and disappeared...

"Ah!!!"

The evil eye golden eagle almost went mad.

Because it found that it couldn't understand what method Long Aotian used and where he escaped to!

In other words, not only did it fail to capture him, but it also lost track of him!

As a guardian, this was unacceptable!

Due to the special nature of the Great Tomb, it couldn't enter. If the third Divine Child had an accident in the tomb, even if it was punished, it wouldn't be too severe.

But afterwards, it couldn't even capture the person involved, which was a serious offense.

It would be better to die than to be crippled!

"Long family, Long family!!!"

Helpless, it could only roar while reporting this matter to the feathered tribe and its own clan, searching for Long Aotian's whereabouts everywhere. At the same time, it ordered the other mournful Divine Child guardians to go to the White Emperor City together, preparing to target the Long family first!

All of these scenes did not escape the "eyes and ears" of Lin Fan and the others.

Although they hadn't approached, their divine senses were quite convenient!

Anyone above the fourth realm could spread their divine senses, so they could clearly see everything.

At this moment, most people held their breath and were amazed!

Except for Lin Fan and Fan Jianqiang, almost no one expected such a result.

They had anticipated the deaths of the Long family members.

But they never expected that Long Aotian would be able to destroy the evil eye golden eagle's Kun Claw and escape afterwards, leaving the evil eye golden eagle unable to find him, driving it crazy!

This was quite strange.

"Hiss!!!"

Fan Jianqiang couldn't help but gasp, and said with fear, "It's a good thing I didn't push him too hard, otherwise I would undoubtedly be dead. Even ten of me wouldn't be enough for him to kill."

Lin Fan glanced at him.

Here it comes again, another classic quote from the survivor.

But do you guess whether I believe it or not?!

Immediately, Lin Fan frowned slightly.

The development of this damn plot is different from what I imagined!

Just now, no one took action, they were all just watching the show.

It's not quite accurate to say they were just watching the show. More precisely, it's because the Feather Clan is too dominant, and the death of the Third Divine Child is a big deal. No one wants to provoke the Feather Clan at this critical moment.

If they provoke the Feather Clan after taking action and make them hold a grudge, it would be more harm than good.

So, for now, they haven't taken action, just watching.

But now, the Feather Clan has already run far away. Obviously, at this moment, they don't have the mood to care about these people and forces. Compared to the death of the Third Divine Child, they don't care about anything, including the Strange Fire.

But the problem is, now that Long Aotian has run away and the Feather Clan has gone far, won't our Embracing Moon Sect become the target of everyone's arrows?!

Seeing everyone's eager eyes, and some have even started to prepare to take action, Lin Fan is already prepared. Even if he exposes his strength, he is ready to use the Great Sun Burning Heaven to intimidate everyone!

Xiao Ling'er even bites her red lips and takes a step forward, wanting to publicly "defect" and even thinking about launching a sneak attack on Lin Fan.

It's not that she really wants to kill Lin Fan, but she wants to play a trick.

A public sneak attack, let Lin Fan suffer a small injury from her attack, and make Embracing Moon Sect become enemies with him, so he doesn't have to worry about others using Embracing Moon Sect to threaten him.

If he can survive this disaster, he will come back in the future to repay and atone for his actions.

But at this moment, Liu Xun takes a deep breath...

He is very excited!!!

Strange Fire!

When he heard the news just now, he almost couldn't help but jump up.

What is Strange Fire? Any knowledgeable cultivator would not be unfamiliar with it.

Even if they haven't seen it or possessed it, they must have heard of it, right?

Especially for alchemists and artifact refining masters, Strange Fire is a Divine Weapon! It's a Goldfinger, a cheat.

Xiao Ling'er's alchemy skills are already amazing, bringing many benefits to the Liu family. Originally, as long as she is given time to develop, she can provide great assistance to the Liu family.

But now...

She even obtained Strange Fire?

Doesn't that mean she can directly take off from here?

Of course, the premise is to protect Xiao Ling'er.

Although it's difficult, it's not impossible, as long as they can return to the Liu family!

Even if they have to pay some price.

As long as they can bring Xiao Ling'er and Strange Fire back, the Liu family will be able to take off in no time. At that time, the Liu family will be the most powerful among all the families in Hongwu Immortal City.

The other two families that are equal to their own will have to bow down.

How can the Flying Dragon Cavalry lose?

And at this moment, feeling the eager eyes of other forces, especially the first to bear the brunt, the Yunxiao Valley, Liu Xun immediately protects Lin Fan and the other three.

But...

They are also struggling!

Liu Xun's strength is at the Fifth Layer of the Finger Mystic Realm, and the other elders are at the Eighth and Ninth Layers of the Finger Mystic Realm. If they don't have other opportunities in this lifetime, they basically won't have a chance to advance further.

They simply can't hold on!

"It's a good thing I have foresight."

"I told you, most of the time I'm clever as hell."

Liu Xun muttered to himself, then looked towards the void.

Boom!!!

The strong wind howled.

The "Second Young Master" of the Liu family has arrived!

With the strength of the Fourth Layer of the Sixth Knowing Destiny Realm, he can be considered a top expert among the second-rate sects.

When he appeared, he didn't say anything, but it made many forces hesitate in their momentum to take action.

Many people frowned.

The elders of Yunxiao Valley immediately changed their expressions, "He is the second young master of the Liu family, Liu Bai."

"The Liu family actually sent such a powerful cultivator?"

"Is it to protect the young master Liu Xun?"

To suddenly have a cultivator of the Sixth Realm, and even the Fourth Layer of the Sixth Realm, they didn't expect it.

"No need to be afraid!"

But at this moment, someone sneered, "Although the Sixth Realm is strong, we are not weak either. It's just a difference of two or three small realms."

"We have so many people here, there are more than ten Sixth Realm experts, and there are thousands at the Fifth Realm! Even if Liu Bai is strong, can he kill all of us here?"

"Let's attack together, we don't need to kill Liu Bai, as long as we can stop him, kill Xiao Ling'er, and seize the Strange Fire!"

After these words were spoken, many people were eager to move.

Xiao Ling'er frowned. She was in a difficult situation, but at this moment, the situation was unclear, so she didn't rush to jump out and make a judgment.

However, can Liu Bai withstand it?!

"Damn it!"

Liu Xun muttered angrily in a low voice: "It's Chen Family's sixth generation, who was constantly beaten down by my second uncle when he was young, almost every time they met. Now he dares to be so bold, relying on the number of people!"

"But I never expected that Chen Family would also send a sixth realm expert!"

"As one of the three major families, Chen Family and our Liu Family have always been at odds. This is intentional!"

Among the second-rate forces in the middle and lower reaches, there really aren't many sixth realm experts.

Most of them are from their own background and rarely go out.

Otherwise, if one of them is killed, it would be a big loss.

Liu Xun also didn't expect that Chen Family would have such courage!

It was only at this moment that one by one, hidden sixth realm experts appeared...

The terrifying aura made everyone look over frequently.

At a glance, there were more than ten of them!

And it's unknown if there are still hidden sixth realm experts.

However, the auras of these sixth realm experts are not as strong as Second Uncle Liu's. Obviously, even though they are in the sixth realm, they are two or three small realms lower than him.

It is precisely because of this that they did not take action immediately.

The Guardian of the Fire Virtue Sect is strong, at the Third Layer of the Sixth Knowing Destiny realm!

But Huo Yuner quickly transmitted a message, preventing him from taking action, so he could only frown and give up.

······

Lin Fan felt annoyed.

He estimated that if he insisted on breaking out, it wouldn't be impossible...

He could just activate 'Unrivaled', directly reach the third transformation of the Immortal Fire Nine Transformations, then take medicine, and throw two 'nuclear bombs'!

The second layer of the sixth realm probably wouldn't get any benefits.

Even if he died, he still had the Nirvana Scripture to resurrect!

But wasting a resurrection coin here would be somewhat of a loss.

And if he directly threw a nuclear bomb, it would probably kill countless people. It's likely that all the sixth realm and below who ran slowly would die!

This would definitely create a big grudge.

Even if he successfully escaped, it would be difficult to move forward after leaving the Embracing Moon Sect, waiting to be besieged and annihilated.

The Liu Family couldn't protect themselves.

"But according to the divination, it shouldn't have come to this point."

"After all, it can almost be said to be a 'perfect ending', this kind of play can't be considered perfect."

"So... is there still a change?"

Thinking like this, Lin Fan didn't rush to take action, but carefully observed.

······

Whoosh!!!

A gust of wind blew, and the atmosphere became even more tense.

Liu Bai stared at Chen Family's sixth generation and chuckled, "I sensed that you old thing had also arrived a long time ago. How about it, back then, I spared your life because of your father's face. Did you really think you survived by your own strength?"

In the ugly expression of Chen Liu Ye, Second Uncle Liu looked at everyone again and sneered, "I may not be able to kill all of you, but I can kill Chen Xiao Liu first. Then, whoever dares to attack me, I will kill them."

"If you're not afraid of death, go ahead and make your move."

Everyone was shocked.

Second Uncle Liu continued, "The Embracing Moon Sect and my Liu Family are allies in offense and defense. Moreover, this kind of opportunity is meant for those who are destined to have it. Xiao Ling'er got it, it's her opportunity. If any of you want to snatch it, be prepared to face the wrath of my Liu Family."

"I'm putting it out there."

"If you dare to make a move and succeed, no matter which family ends up with the Strange Fire, my Liu Family will consider them mortal enemies!"

"We won't stop until we're dead!"

"You're just bluffing." Chen Liu Ye couldn't bear it anymore and coldly snorted, "If we all attack together, what can you do?"

"Moreover, after obtaining the Strange Fire, our own strength will definitely increase. Why should we fear your Liu Family?"

Second Uncle Liu, however, remained calm and domineering, "If you all attack together, I will kill Chen Xiao Liu first!"

Damn it!

Chen Liu Ye immediately wanted to curse.

This is too much, when will it end?!

But after thinking about it, he became a little scared.

This damn guy can really do it!

Therefore, it's not good to speak up again. He was sure that provoking to this extent was enough. As the saying goes, money moves people's hearts, and this Strange Fire is much more precious than money.

So, he discreetly took a few steps back...

If we all attack together, you will kill me first?

Then I'll be one step slower than them, let's see what you can do!

Do you really think I can't think?

After all, I used to be one of the best among my peers. Although I was beaten down by you guys, there were still many weaker than me! Ahem, at least there were quite a few weaker than me!

Chen Liu Ye secretly muttered.

Mr. Liu Er remained indifferent.

Although he couldn't take care of the Liu family and Lin Fan and others if he were besieged, he wouldn't be afraid. If a fight were to break out, he might even kick the heads of several sixth realm experts like a ball.

"Nice words. Let's see who among you is willing to be the first to die."

"If you don't make a move, I'll leave with my people."

Mr. Liu waved his hand, stood at the forefront of his team, and strode forward. The others followed suit. Wherever they passed, people hurriedly dodged.

They were not sixth realm experts, so they didn't dare to stop them, nor did they have the strength to do so. Why lose their lives for no reason?

However, the divine senses of those sixth realm experts were intertwining and discussing countermeasures.

At this moment, you could hear a pin drop. Everyone remained silent, just watching Lin Fan and his group move through the crowd. The quieter it was, the more tense the atmosphere became.

A storm was coming!

Everyone knew that those experts wouldn't let the Liu family leave so easily.

But...

Just as those sixth realm experts were about to make a move after finishing their discussion, an unexpected person suddenly spoke up.

"Everyone."

The sudden words startled everyone, and someone even accidentally cast a spell.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and threw it into the sky, like setting off a huge firework.

Looking in the direction of the sound, they discovered that it was the elder from the Spirit Sword Sect!

"I am Tang Hu, an elder of the Spirit Sword Sect."

Elder Tang of the Spirit Sword Sect spoke calmly, "Originally, I was just passing by, wanting to join in the fun, without intending to affect anyone or anything."

"But the final result turned out to be somewhat unexpected."

"I also have a few things to say."

"I have protected the Embracing Moon Sect on behalf of the Spirit Sword Sect. You are not allowed to make a move against them. Otherwise, you will be our enemy!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked, including Lin Fan, who was directly involved.

What's going on?!

Why did the Spirit Sword Sect jump out?

Even in his mind, he instantly imagined a drama from thousands of years ago!

Could it be that in the past, an ancestor of the Embracing Moon Sect and an ancestor of the Spirit Sword Sect had a tragic love story, full of tears and pain?

Now, the Embracing Moon Sect's ancestor had passed away, but the senior from the Spirit Sword Sect was still alive. Thinking of the old feelings, he had secretly protected the Embracing Moon Sect from being annihilated?

And even in these years, the Embracing Moon Sect's decline was not completely due to the Spirit Sword Sect's efforts?

While Lin Fan was pondering, Yunxiao Valley couldn't sit still.

An elder couldn't help but ask, "Elder Tang, I don't mean to go against the Spirit Sword Sect's wishes, nor do I have the courage, but... why is that?"

"You, the Spirit Sword Sect, are a top sect, high above others. Why did you take an interest in the Embracing Moon Sect?"

He was very dissatisfied!

Others were also dissatisfied.

In their eyes, what did it mean to protect the Embracing Moon Sect?

Clearly, the Spirit Sword Sect was just abandoning righteousness and wanted to monopolize the Strange Fire!

They said it nicely, like they were just watching and observing?

Clearly, they wanted to snatch it!

But if you wanted to snatch it, why didn't you say so earlier? Why did we have to risk our lives?

And there was no need to jump out and offend the Liu family!

If we had known you wanted to snatch it, couldn't we just lie down and do nothing?

Now, damn it, you want the Strange Fire, and we have offended the Liu family. Although we are not afraid of the Liu family, having one more enemy means they might take advantage of us in the future.

Isn't this fucking annoying?

They cursed in their hearts.

They smiled on the surface but were full of shamelessness in their minds.

"I know you are dissatisfied, and I know you think that the Spirit Sword Sect has taken an interest in the Strange Fire," Tang Hu chuckled, not caring.

You're angry, you're not convinced?

Then why don't you fucking come and fight me? Do you dare?

But for the reputation of the Spirit Sword Sect, he still explained, "Actually, it's not like that."

"Perhaps many of you know that not long ago, the Peach Blossom Sect, Golden Eagle Sect, and Eight Sword Sect were all destroyed, and the specific person who made the move is still unknown."

"But... the cause and effect of this matter is inseparable from the Embracing Moon Sect."

He looked at Lin Fan and the others and said lightly, "As far as I know, not long ago, Embracing Moon Sect had some conflicts with these three sects. Afterwards, the Elder of Embracing Moon Sect was promoted to the Fifth Realm, which put pressure on the three sects, leading them to form an alliance."

"Afterwards, there were rumors that the Sect Master of Peach Blossom Sect obtained the Finger Mystic Pill, which led to the destruction of the sect."

"The allied sects, Golden Eagle Sect and Eight Sword Sect, were also destroyed as a result."

"Afterwards, most of the territories of the three sects fell into the hands of Embracing Moon Sect."

"Therefore, no matter how you look at it, the destruction of the three sects is closely related to Embracing Moon Sect. Even if Embracing Moon Sect did not take action, the cause and effect cannot be ignored."

The crowd listened, feeling confused...

Are the destruction of these three sects related to Embracing Moon Sect?

Then what does it have to do with your Spirit Sword Sect!

Suddenly, an elder from Yunxiao Valley reacted, "A disciple of Eight Sword Sect joined Spirit Sword Sect?!"

Yunxiao Valley had investigated Embracing Moon Sect, so they knew about this matter.

But in his opinion, it was completely nonsense.

For the sake of a disciple from a small sect, they would keep Embracing Moon Sect for him to level up? What a joke.

Isn't it all for the Strange Fire?!

"That's right."

But Tang Hu laughed, "If it was just an ordinary disciple, it would be fine. But after he joined, and went through the baptism of the Sword Pool, we discovered that he actually has the appearance of an immortal!"

Everyone was shocked.

Even Lin Fan raised his eyebrows.

Wow, there's something like this?

Seeing everyone's surprise, Tang Hu's smile grew wider, but deep down, he felt extremely disdainful.

These country bumpkins, it's a waste of breath to explain to them.

But being away from home, he couldn't ruin the image of Spirit Sword Sect, so he continued, "It's just that his physique hasn't been activated before, but now it's in the process of activation!"

"When he fully activates his physique and reaches the Fourth Realm, he will become a disciple of my Spirit Sword Sect!"

"We sword cultivators value integrity the most. We cut down all injustices with a single sword. We must not leave any regrets in our hearts, otherwise it will affect our Sword Intent!"

"At that time, Lord Jianzi will learn that his sect has been destroyed and his mentor has died, naturally he will want revenge."

"And Embracing Moon Sect is related to this matter. If they are destroyed by you, it may become a demon in Lord Jianzi's heart!"

"Therefore, we need to wait for Lord Jianzi to handle it personally!"

He looked at everyone, his smile disappeared from his face, and his voice became colder, "This matter concerns Lord Jianzi of Spirit Sword Sect, and even the next sect master. We cannot afford to make any mistakes!"

"So..."

"Everyone."

"What should we do? You should have an idea in your hearts."

Everyone was even more surprised.

Wow.

One disciple from Eight Sword Sect actually went to Spirit Sword Sect to become a disciple?!

Isn't this like reaching the heavens in one step?!

And most of the people present only now realized that the fallen Embracing Moon Sect had caused so many troubles.

But that's not the point. The point is that Spirit Sword Sect is bound to win. It seems that they won't be able to get their hands on the Strange Fire. What a pity!

However, they didn't completely believe Tang Hu either.

It sounds good and reasonable, but who can guarantee that Tang Hu or Spirit Sword Sect didn't take the opportunity to keep the Strange Fire for themselves?

That's the Strange Fire, and it's highly likely to be ranked high!

Even if Spirit Sword Sect doesn't need it, they can sell it and make a small profit.

But they could only complain in their hearts and dare not say it out loud.

Only the elder from Yunxiao Valley felt a bit tricky and said with a forced smile, "But our Yunxiao Valley also has a deep grudge with Embracing Moon Sect. The younger brother of our Valley Master died in Embracing Moon Sect..."

"I already heard about your little matter."

But Tang Hu glanced at him and said lightly, "You wanted to take advantage of the situation, but you didn't expect to be crushed by it. Looking at the cause and effect, it's only fair."

"But our Valley Master is deeply troubled by this matter and has developed a demon in his heart..."

Isn't it just a demon? It affects cultivation, right? Who doesn't know that? Fight magic with magic!

"What is your Yunxiao Valley? How can you compare it to my Spirit Sword Sect?" Tang Hu no longer gave face, and with just one sentence, the faces of the Yunxiao Valley people turned pale, angry but unable to speak.

Then, Tang Hu's tone changed, "However, you can also take action against Embracing Moon Sect."

"But Sect Master Lin Fan, the direct disciple Xiao Ling'er, and the main gate of Embracing Moon Sect cannot be touched. After all, the cause of this matter is related to Lin Fan and Xiao Ling'er. As for the others..."

"They are not that important."

"Just don't go too far."

What the hell are you talking about!

Several elders from Yunxiao Valley frowned, feeling extremely frustrated.

What the hell is this?

Lin Fan can't be touched, Xiao Ling'er can't be touched, so we just attack a few insignificant people from Embracing Moon Sect???

Do not move Xiao Ling'er, can you get the Strange Fire?

But unfortunately, I still dare not speak, I can only hold it in.

People from other forces watched eagerly, but they didn't say anything.

The power gap is evident. Even though Tang Hu is only a cultivator at the Ninth Layer of the Fifth Finger Mystic realm and just an outer elder of the Spirit Sword Sect, his background is strong enough that even if they can kill Tang Hu, they dare not act recklessly.

The oppression is even stronger than that of Liu Er.

"Yes, yes, what Elder Tang said is absolutely right."

"Since this matter is related to the future Sword Child of the Spirit Sword Sect, it is naturally of utmost importance. We will never act recklessly."

"We are the same..."

They expressed their stance one after another, indicating that they would not touch the Embracing Moon Sect and Xiao Ling'er.

Although they coveted the Strange Fire, they didn't dare to provoke the Spirit Sword Sect.

Sword cultivators, to some extent, are all crazy.

They kill without blinking an eye!

The Yunxiao Valley is no exception, they can only reluctantly accept it.

The Liu family's people are both happy and worried.

They are happy because they can safely bring everyone back.

Worried... isn't it obvious?

Headache!

Fan Jianqiang muttered to himself, constantly talking about danger and death, followed by some mutterings that others couldn't understand.

Xiao Ling'er hesitated to speak, stopped speaking, and hesitated again.

This development is too dramatic.

She was already prepared to ambush Lin Fan and escape from the sect at the same time, but the result turned out to be so dramatic...

But fortunately, it's safe for now, and there's no need to defect. As for the Sword Child of the Spirit Sword Sect, could it be the one called Wen Jian?!

If they want to deal with the Heart Devil, should they let him handle it himself?

If it's just him alone...

Xiao Ling'er feels that this might not be a bad thing.

In the eyes of the people of the Spirit Sword Sect, it should be easy for their Sword Child to destroy a third-rate sect, right?

But in Xiao Ling'er's eyes, if it's just a peerless genius, she might not be unable to handle it!

As long as she becomes stronger than him.

Lin Fan...

He's a bit annoying.

"Damn it, it's just having a background that makes you impressive."

"A cultivator at the Fifth Layer, speaking more authoritatively than a Sixth Layer expert. Wait for a while, and I'll elevate the Embracing Moon Sect to the peak again and enjoy this treatment."

To be honest, this guy is a bit envious.

After transmigrating, his sect was weak to the point of death, and he had always been cautious. Fortunately, he had the idea of recruiting the protagonist template and experienced many crises. He calculated everything to barely reach his current position.

If he had transmigrated as the Sect Master of the Spirit Sword Sect or a peak period Sect Master of the Embracing Moon Sect, would he still have to worry so much?

But it doesn't matter, just do it.

As long as he continues to develop, there will come a day when he will be stronger than the Spirit Sword Sect!

"As for this matter, it can be considered settled. Although it was unexpected, it actually gives our Embracing Moon Sect a period of peaceful development."

Lin Fan pondered slightly, similar to Xiao Ling'er's view, he didn't think it was a bad thing.

After all, it's not the Spirit Sword Sect's army pressing on their territory.

If it were the Spirit Sword Sect's army pressing on their territory, then there would be no way out, they would have to surrender directly.

But it's just a 'Sword Child', and he can still be manipulated.

For example, always surpassing him by a small margin, letting him go back to continue cultivating, and then come back, repeating this process...

It's like sparring with each other, giving him hope but not letting him succeed. In this process, the Spirit Sword Sect wouldn't just destroy the Embracing Moon Sect, right?

And before that Sword Child or the Spirit Sword Sect realizes it, the Embracing Moon Sect will practically be living under the wing of the Spirit Sword Sect~

This is a period of safety!

"But we can't be careless either. After all, plans can't keep up with changes, and no one knows which will come first, accidents or tomorrow."

"We must strive to increase the strength of the sect and ourselves during this period!"

...

The crowd began to disperse...

The tomb of the Swallowing Fire Daoist has been looted, and the small world has collapsed.

The two people who gained the most, one ran away, and the other was "predestined" by the Spirit Sword Sect. Naturally, there was nothing else for the others to do, they could only rush back bitterly.

The Yunxiao Valley also left angrily.

But the most miserable one is the Feather Clan.

How powerful is the Feather Clan?

The Third Divine Child was also a peerless genius. In theory, becoming a great power in the future should not be a problem, but unfortunately, he died prematurely in this small place.

In theory, someone at the level of a Divine Child should not come to such a small place.

But he not only came, but also hung up...

It's really outrageous.

Long Aotian's strength also surprised many people. Many people witnessed that scene.

One strike to kill the third Divine Child of the Feather Clan, isn't that a challenge to the first Divine Child of the Feather Clan? That is truly the first in line, a person of the 'Saint Child' level.

Therefore, everyone is speculating about Long Aotian's talent...

As everyone left, the news spread like wildfire, quickly spreading throughout the southwest region, and then spreading even further, with the intention of spreading throughout the entire Immortal Martial Continent.

Lin Fan and his group also left.

Liu Er Ye no longer hid his figure and was not careless at all.

The pressure from the Spirit Sword Sect is enough, but what if there is a crazy old man who is not afraid of death?

The so-called crazy old man refers to those solitary individuals who have no hope of breakthrough and have a limited lifespan.

These existences have nothing to lose. If they see a glimmer of hope for a breakthrough, they will dare to do anything, so precautions must be taken.

Fortunately, the journey was quite peaceful and they did not encounter any crazy old men jumping out.

But they did not go to White Emperor City, instead choosing to take a detour to the second closest Immortal City and use the super large teleportation array to return to Hongwu Immortal City.

The reason for this is naturally because of the Feather Clan.

The third Divine Child of the Feather Clan was killed, and the Evil Eye Golden Eagle also lost one of its claws. It will definitely not give up easily. There is a high probability that it will demand the Dragon Clan members from White Emperor City, and then torture, kill, or even devour them.

So, White Emperor City is definitely not peaceful at the moment!

Therefore, they chose to take a detour.

Then, they returned to the Embracing Moon Sect through the teleportation array of the Liu Family and the Embracing Moon Sect.

This trip can be considered completely successful.

It wasn't until they returned to the Embracing Moon Sect that Xiao Ling'er finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"This time, it's really..." she sighed: "There were so many twists and turns, but fortunately, the final result was perfect."

"Indeed." Liang Danxia also felt that this time was quite 'exciting'.

"I have lived for so many years and have been to many Secret Realms and seized many opportunities, but this is the first time I have seen so many twists and coincidences coming together," said the 'Medicine Granny'.

"It's really outrageous."

According to reason, after obtaining the Unextinguished Swallowing Flame, Xiao Ling'er would definitely not be able to stay in the Embracing Moon Sect anymore.

Even if the Spirit Sword Sect were to intervene, it would not be possible.

Because of the Feather Clan!

Although the Strange Fire is not much to the Feather Clan, Feather Ink would definitely not let it go.

After coming out, even if Tang Hu were to continue to intervene, the strong members of the Feather Clan would not give him face, because the Feather Clan is not afraid of the Spirit Sword Sect at all. Even if they were to fight, the Spirit Sword Sect is not a match for the Feather Clan.

But unexpectedly, Long Aotian appeared, causing the Feather Clan to leave early, and Xiao Ling'er was able to return safely~~~

"The way of cause and effect is truly mysterious," Liang Danxia couldn't help but sigh.

They were all very clear about the cause of the matter, the advertisement from the Embracing Moon Sect...

That was the cause.

But they didn't expect the effect to come today.

"Ling'er."

Just as the master and disciple were pondering, several excited elders and seven auspicious beasts gradually calmed down under everyone's gaze, allowing the seven auspicious beasts to play on their own.

Lin Fan spoke softly.

"Master."

Xiao Ling'er quickly stepped forward.

Under everyone's gaze, Lin Fan pondered and said, "Now that the fact that you possess the Strange Fire is no longer a secret, we should slightly improve the quality of the pills we refine for the outside world."

"Both the quality and quantity."

"If the Liu Family can handle it, give them all to them. If they can't handle it, I have other uses for them."

"After all, the Liu Family has helped our sect a lot, and we should give them the corresponding rewards. It's only fair."

Lin Fan has always been righteous.

You treat me well, and I will naturally treat you well.

You fuck with me, and I'll kill you.

Although he had tricked the Liu Family a bit before, increasing the scale of the formation by dozens of times, Lin Fan remembered the efforts they had put in!

Actually, it can't be considered a trick.

It can only be said that there was no other way, so he played the trick of 'acting first and reporting later'. After all, it wouldn't do for all his disciples to stay in one place, right?

Now, it's time to double the rewards for the Transcendent Level.

Moreover, from the current perspective, the Liu Family is still a very reliable partner. Supplying more pills will benefit them when their strength increases.

"I will follow Master's instructions."

Xiao Ling'er saw no problem with it.

Before, she had to hide her use of the Strange Fire, but now she can openly use it, even if it's only the Unextinguished Swallowing Flame, it's enough.

Even without the Strange Fire, she was able to refine so many good pills before. Now, it's even more reasonable and there's no need to worry about attracting more attention.

"Well, but don't rush. Judging from your aura, you have gained a lot this time. You should be able to break through to the fourth realm. Take your time and see for yourself."

"Alchemy is important, but cultivation is even more important," Lin Fan reminded.

Xiao Ling'er quickly responded with a fist salute, feeling warm in her heart.

Master is so kind!

Remembering others' kindness and knowing how to repay it is especially important for our own people.

Isn't this the best example?

At this moment, Fan Jianqiang jumped out. After returning, he resumed his cowardly and fearful demeanor.

Lin Fan and Xiao Ling'er didn't expose him, letting him pretend.

"Master, you must have gained something this time, right?" he asked curiously.

Lin Fan's storage bag was bulging, catching everyone's attention.

"It's nothing, just some decorations for our Embracing Moon Sect... um, I mean, some decorations," Lin Fan replied.

"Elder Si, I'll leave this matter to you and the inner disciples. Shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Lin Fan took off the storage bag.

Everyone was very curious and took one each, carefully examining them. Upon seeing them, they all exclaimed in surprise.

"Really... dug three feet into the ground?" Wu Xingyun exclaimed with wide-opened red lips.

"Master, you're even more amazing than the Spirit Locusts," Duan Qingyao exclaimed in awe.

At least the Spirit Locusts don't eat dirt!

But Lin Fan didn't even spare the spiritual soil!

"We're poor at Embracing Moon Sect!"

But Lin Fan said it was only natural: "Good territories are already occupied by others, so only those small worlds that have been sealed for thousands of years have these little things."

"Use them to cover the twenty-five peaks of our Embracing Moon Sect. The spiritual energy will be abundant, and the Spirit Field can also expand. There are many benefits."

"That's right!"

Everyone agreed without any objections.

The place where Embracing Moon Sect was located was indeed a small place...

If the Sacred Lands and top-tier sects were considered prestigious schools like Tsinghua University, then Embracing Moon Sect would be a rural elementary school, built in a remote mountain village.

There was nothing good nearby, but what Lin Fan brought back was two levels higher than the things in front of their own doorstep.

"I'll go now."

Elder Chen Erzhu happily grabbed the storage bag and led the others to get busy.

"I'll help too."

Li Changshou was also extremely excited and volunteered to help.

This was related to their own future!

In fact, their talents were not limited to this, but the previous environment and conditions made it difficult for them to make further progress.

They couldn't even afford a few pills from the Grotto-Heaven Pill City, and their lives were tight. The spiritual energy on the peaks was also thin and pitiful, resulting in slow cultivation speed and even being "stuck at a level."

This was a common problem faced by many small sects, small forces, and independent cultivators.

Although the Immortal Martial Continent was vast, after so many years of development, there were too many people and cultivators.

Resources were limited!

If too many people fought over them, there would be droughts and floods.

Half a year ago, among the five elders of Embracing Moon Sect, only the Grand Elder had a slight chance of reaching the Fifth Finger Mystic Realm, while the other elders believed they had no chance.

But now...

It was not necessarily the case!

The Fifth Realm? It was within reach!

And the things Lin Fan brought back could further shorten this time and increase everyone's cultivation speed. Naturally, they were very enthusiastic.

Only Wu Xingyun, amidst her excitement, felt a bit desolate.

In terms of talent, she was the best among the five elders, but she had injured her origin due to fierce battles in her early years.

Without solving this problem, there was no hope of a breakthrough.

However, seeing the gradually developing and thriving sect, Wu Xingyun was also very happy.

Even if she couldn't make a breakthrough, it was enough to smile in the afterlife.

Having lived for hundreds of years, she had gone from being a disciple to an elder, and throughout this process, Embracing Moon Sect had been getting more and more miserable and declining. Now, she could see the sect continuously growing and prospering.

It was worth it!

Xiao Ling'er noticed Wu Xingyun's expression and quickly stepped forward, holding her hand and said, "Second Elder, don't worry. Once I break through the Fourth Realm, I can try to refine higher-quality healing pills. They will definitely be able to treat your injuries!"

"Good child."

Wu Xingyun smiled, "I believe in you."

"But your cultivation is more important! You can refine them when you have free time."

She naturally wanted to recover, but she didn't want to delay Xiao Ling'er's progress in cultivation. After all, Xiao Ling'er's talent is evident to all! Give her some more time to develop, and she can carry the sect forward on her own! In comparison, whether she recovers or not is not too important.

"Mm."

Xiao Ling'er agreed.

After some more communication, the crowd dispersed one after another.

In the end, only Lin Fan and Fan Jianqiang remained on the main peak.

Fan Jianqiang shook his head and said, "Master, can you tell me all the sect rules now?"

"Sure, sure."

Lin Fan took out the sect rules he had written before and handed them to Fan Jianqiang, wanting to see his evaluation.

After all, the five elders and Xiao Ling'er are all "natives," at most feeling puzzled, but Fan Jianqiang is one of them, even if he didn't transmigrate from the same Earth, he is most likely from a parallel universe.

So, there should be different opinions.

"Wow!"

After reading half of it, Fan Jianqiang was stunned.

"This..."

"You want to eliminate all those with protagonist fate!"

"The operation is really amazing."

"As long as our Embracing Moon Sect doesn't collapse halfway through its establishment, we will definitely surpass countless sects and Sacred Lands and dominate the Immortal Martial Continent!!!"

Fan Jianqiang didn't think he was flattering.

This is the truth!

Looking at the conditions on the enrollment rules, which one of them doesn't have protagonist fate or is a child of the Heavenly Dao?

"Why couldn't I come up with such an amazing operation before?"

Fan Jianqiang scratched his head, feeling enlightened!

Lin Fan smiled, "I guess you were just thinking about survival."

Fan Jianqiang pondered seriously for a moment and said, "That's true!"

"I was just thinking about caution and stability, never thought about creating a force or anything."

"That's good. I've written down all the sect rules, and I'll recruit people according to this standard in the future."

Fan Jianqiang was shocked but also very excited.

With such an amazing operation, as long as they survive the initial series of crises and recruit a few more disciples with protagonist fate, how can they not develop?

By then, he can just survive as a low-ranking disciple within the sect.

At that time, is there a safer place than Embracing Moon Sect?

There are plenty of big shots outside attacking and making money, while he can live a comfortable life in the Sutra Pavilion until the end of time. Isn't that great?

Wonderful!

That's the decision!

Fan Jianqiang said again, "After I decide, I'll shout a few times in crowded places, like the Wumong Mountain and the mountains beyond, to see if anyone can respond~"

"Although I usually don't go out..."

He thought it was fine to do so.

If he wasn't a transmigrator, he definitely wouldn't be able to respond.

If he can respond, then he must be a transmigrator or have had contact with a transmigrator.

And nowadays, which transmigrator doesn't have cheats? Those with cheats all have protagonist fate, so it's fine to bring them over. But if their surname is Tang... that's definitely not okay.

He hasn't lived enough yet.

And Gu Yue and Long... they're not okay either.

These two really betray their own people.

"You handle it, we understand."

Lin Fan smiled.

Talking to a fellow villager always brings a sense of familiarity.

Just don't know what kind of "cheats" he has, but it's not good to ask. Even if asked, he won't say.

Just like himself, he wouldn't say even if asked, even if it's his future Dao companion or even his son.

After all, one must be cautious.

Some secrets can be shared, some cannot.

As fellow transmigrators, it's fine to know each other's identities, but cheats are their own trump cards, how can they give them away?

"Hey, then I'll go back to the Sutra Pavilion?"

"Okay, I'll contact you if there's anything."

Fan Jianqiang also left.

Lin Fan, however, did not start cultivating immediately, but instead pondered.

"Spirit Sword Sect's Jianzi should be coming, so there should still be some time before the 'annual crisis.' No need to worry before that."

"So, it's time to prepare for this crisis."

"Unfortunately, there is too little information. I don't know in what form this crisis will appear."

"But I have a rough idea."

Lin Fan suddenly realized that three days after his transmigration, it would be the annual enrollment ceremony.

In other words, three days after experiencing the first crisis would also be the enrollment ceremony.

After thinking about it, it became clear.

Can't pass the crisis? Ha!

Passed it? There will be rewards!

Most likely, there will be surprises in accepting disciples!

"Heh."

Lin Fan rubbed his hands. "I don't know if there will be a protagonist template, but even if there isn't, I should at least get an A+ disciple, right?"

"At least I can share the combat power of another disciple."

He was quite excited.

For a moment, his worries about the crisis were overshadowed.

"No, I still can't be careless. The prerequisite for receiving rewards is to pass the crisis!"

"I need to think carefully."

"Although I don't know in what form the crisis will appear, there are only a few possibilities. I can find a way to prevent some of them in advance..."

The martial world is not just about fighting and killing; it's about human relationships and worldly affairs.

As the sect master, it's not just about relying on strength; it's more important to use your brain.

Otherwise, it would be useless, and sooner or later, the entire sect would be destroyed.

Fortunately, Lin Fan is good at this!

He has never been a sect master, but he has played over three hundred strategy games and nearly a hundred cultivation strategy games. He has a wealth of experience!

After all, they are all cultivation games, and there are commonalities.

Just do it!

...

A sleepless night.

The next morning, Lin Fan notified Liu Xun to come and collect the goods.

Liu Xun immediately brought people over, but with a resentful face, he said, "Brother Lin, I wanted to come and talk to you face to face last night, but this teleportation array..."

"Oh," Lin Fan said calmly, "I'm a coward. I'm afraid someone will suddenly appear from the teleportation array and scare me, so I usually remove the teleportation array's energy stones. I only install them when needed."

Liu Xun: "???"

The two accompanying elders twitched their faces and felt speechless.

"Alright, next time I'll let you know in advance," Lin Fan said.

Liu Xun was helpless, but then he worriedly asked, "What about the matter with Spirit Sword Sect? How are you going to handle it?"

"When the enemy comes, we will defend. It's better to deal with one person than to be overwhelmed by the entire Spirit Sword Sect. Besides, this is a crisis, but also an opportunity," Lin Fan replied frankly. "At least Spirit Sword Sect has deterred many small fry, so during this period, our Embracing Moon Sect is very calm. We should take advantage of this opportunity to develop."

After speaking, Lin Fan patted Liu Xun's shoulder. "By the way, your Liu family is lucky!"

"Xiao Ling'er now has the Strange Fire, and her alchemy skills have improved by leaps and bounds..."

"Moreover, she is not far from reaching the Fourth Realm. I estimate that after she reaches the Fourth Realm, she will have no problem refining the Finger Mystic Pill, and the grade will not be too low. It should be at least Fifth Grade."

Liu Xun showed a happy expression. "My father said the same thing."

"This is dangerous, but also an opportunity. As for the pills, don't worry, our Liu family will purchase them at market price. We won't let you suffer any losses," Lin Fan said.

There was something he didn't say.

The market price is fine, Embracing Moon Sect won't suffer any losses, but their Liu family will make a profit!

They will profit from consuming the pills themselves, and even more so from selling them.

High-quality pills can be sold at auction.

"That's good, but what about the medicinal materials?" Liu Xun asked.

"Rest assured, Brother Lin!"

"This small matter won't cause any problems for our Liu family!"

...

They agreed to deliver more medicinal materials in the afternoon, and Liu Xun happily left.

This time, there were nearly a thousand pills!

They were all the most common and commonly used cultivation pills.

Condensing Essence Pill, Profound Essence Pill, Grotto-Heaven Pill!

The worst ones were Seventh Grade!

Eighth Grade is mainstream.

There are dozens of Ninth Grade!!!

These are all rare items that would be snatched up by major forces if released.

But the Liu family is reluctant to sell and plans to use them themselves.

Make money?

Isn't the ultimate goal of making money to improve one's own strength? It's pointless to make money with these elixirs when they can better and quickly improve their strength.

Unless they are short of money.

But at least for now, the Liu family is not short of money, so just do it!

When Liu Xun returned with the elixirs, the patriarch and Second Master Liu were extremely excited.

"So, high-quality Finger Mystic elixirs are not far away. It's just a matter of when we can refine high-quality sixth realm elixirs!!!"

"Patriarch, we need to find a way to make some money as soon as possible." Second Master Liu pondered, "The elixirs below the fifth realm are not too expensive, but the fifth and sixth realm elixirs..."

"They are not cheap."

"We need to come up with a plan!"

Sell elixirs to make money?

That's possible.

But it's even better to consume them ourselves!

Unless we can't finish them ourselves.

"That's right." The patriarch nodded. "Not only that, but buying these materials in large quantities is also expensive. Once the quantity becomes too large, the price will increase. In the end, we will spend more and more."

This is obvious.

There have always been speculators and price gougers in any era and background, and there are quite a few of them.

But he didn't have any objections to Embracing Moon Sect, he was just discussing the matter at hand.

After all, this is not a bad thing, but a great opportunity!

He felt particularly proud of himself at this moment, feeling that he was awesome.

Back then, when Embracing Moon Sect was in ruins, he was able to choose to invest and gamble. What else could be more awesome?

It's simply awesome!

How long has it been?

There are already returns, and they are far beyond expectations, even bringing about such happy troubles.

The formation that covers the twenty-five Ling Mountains?

Hey, even if there are another twenty-five, I can handle it!

Only I have the courage, the vision, and the courage!

If it were this kid...

He glanced at his son Liu Xun and secretly sneered.

This kid is definitely not capable.

"My Liu Wanli's vision and luck are well-known! I have made money in nine out of ten investments I have made. It's just that in this lifetime, the investment in Embracing Moon Sect has the fastest and most abundant returns."

He pondered and then spoke, "We need to prepare for price gouging. So, Second Uncle, since you have already come out of seclusion, you probably won't go into seclusion again in the short term, right?"

"Why don't you go to other immortal cities and markets to purchase the corresponding medicinal materials? When it becomes necessary or when you are too busy, you can buy them near our home?"

A rabbit doesn't eat grass near its burrow. Liu Wanli naturally understood this principle very well.

"Now everyone knows that our Liu family is cooperating with Embracing Moon Sect, but the specific details of the cooperation have not been revealed."

"If the Liu family buys the corresponding materials in Hongwu Immortal City, it will easily arouse suspicion and then be investigated."

"That will definitely invite jealousy, and the other two major families may even join forces. It will be troublesome then."

"So, it's better to go farther away, buy from various places. After all, the Immortal Martial Continent is vast, and with yuan stones in hand, we are not afraid of not being able to buy."

"But it will waste some time and energy, and the risk will be higher."

As for the price, it is estimated that the difference won't be too big.

After all, teleportation arrays also cost money, and being unfamiliar with the place means not getting discounts, which will cost more money. So overall, the price should be similar to the price after they raise it, but with a little less trouble.

"When our strength far surpasses the other two major families, we can make a big move and make a name for ourselves, won't that be great?"

Liu Xun was filled with enthusiasm when he heard this.

He didn't have the talent of Second Master Liu, so he couldn't suppress all the geniuses of the Chen and Jiang families. If nothing unexpected happens, it would be good enough if he could protect himself.

But with the assistance of Embracing Moon Sect's elixirs in the future, that might not be the case~~~

He wanted to beat all those guys!

Second Master Liu also thought it was feasible and nodded immediately, "This plan is good. Even if we can't save much yuan stones, we can avoid many troubles near our home. I will be busy running around during this time."

"Thank you, Second Uncle." Liu Wanli smiled.

"We are family, no need to say these things." Second Master Liu was a person who paid attention to etiquette.

"Liu Xun."

"Father." Liu Xun immediately ended his endless imagination and responded obediently.

"Call me patriarch!" Liu Wanli frowned.

"Yes, Master."

"Well then, you should also go and deliver the medicinal materials. At the same time, make a copy of all the techniques and secret arts of our Liu family, except for the clan techniques and the secrets that are not to be passed on. Send them all to Embracing Moon Sect."

"They have been robbed miserably in recent years, and I estimate that they don't have much left. By sending some over, we can deepen our relationship with them."

"You must remember!"

Liu Wanli's expression became serious.

Liu Xun immediately stood at attention, not daring to blink his eyes. "Master, please go on."

"Whether it's cooperation or investment, if it goes well, we must increase our investment. Gradually, as long as we can continue to provide assistance to the other party, we should progressively let them feel our goodwill and make them owe us more favors!"

Liu Wanli spoke confidently, "In this way, the relationship will be more solid, and we will gain more benefits."

"So as not to see them towering above us when we are already powerless, while we can only lament and regret in the corner."

"On the other hand, if this investment fails or if we discover that the other party has a bad character, we must immediately cut off ties with them. Otherwise, we may end up ruined."

"Ah!"

"Master, it can't be that bad, right?"

Liu Xun felt it was too extreme, "I agree with making decisive decisions, but are you saying that we will be powerless and they will be towering above us? Embracing Moon Sect?"

"Is that possible?!"

"You don't understand!"

"Even if there is only a one or two percent chance, we must do it. That's the charm of investment."

Liu Wanli smacked his lips, "You know, among my peers, my talent and cultivation are not considered top-notch. Why is it that I became the Master of the family and the Liu family is thriving? Is there anyone who doesn't respect me in the Liu family?"

He pointed to his temple, "Because I have a brain, I have luck, and most importantly, I am willing to invest!"

"If we lose, we lose."

"If we win, we soar."

"In short, don't wait until we are powerless and then regret it!"

Liu Xun still found it hard to believe.

Damn it, Lin Fan, leading Embracing Moon Sect, surpassing the Liu family?!

How many people are there in Embracing Moon Sect? The strongest is only at the Finger Mystic realm, first layer!

And what about the Liu family? With a heritage of over 30,000 years, the members of the clan are scattered, with the main branch, branch families, and subsidiary branches spread all over. If you count them all, there are probably millions of people!

Even if the strongest is not at the seventh realm, they are probably just one step away from it.

After having the supply of pills from Embracing Moon Sect, they can further improve. Why does Embracing Moon Sect have the right to do so?!

This can't be!

Liu Xun was at a loss.

Although he and Lin Fan called each other brothers on weekdays, weren't they just being polite?

But now you're telling me, Father, that one day he might climb over me, over the entire Liu family?

This...

He was skeptical, "So if we miss the opportunity, we can only regret it?"

"Not necessarily."

Liu Erye shook his neck.

"Erye?"

Liu Erye grinned, "There is another way to try, it's not that difficult."

"If you want to increase investment but feel powerless, then you have to flatter and please others, maybe you can gain some benefits."

Liu Xun was surprised.

Wow, Er Ye, I misjudged you.

I thought you were someone who valued dignity!!!

······

In the afternoon, Liu Xun came with two elders and three bulging storage bags.

Compared to before, the value of the Spirit Medicine supply has increased by more than ten times!

Previously, it mainly consisted of Condensing Essence Pills and Profound Essence Pills. Now, it mainly consists of Grotto-Heaven Pills, as well as many medicinal materials for Finger Mystic Pills.

"Brother Lin, let Ling'er and Jianqiang practice with the medicinal materials for Finger Mystic Pills. There's no rush."

"Also, I thought about it. Considering that your Embracing Moon Sect has not been well managed before, there may not be many techniques and secret arts to choose from. But the development of a sect and the recruitment of disciples cannot do without these things."

"Therefore, I took the liberty of making a copy of many techniques, secret arts, cultivation experiences, and miscellaneous discussions from our Liu family and sent them over. I hope Brother Lin won't mind."

Liu Xun understood it clearly.

The Liu family will eventually fall into his hands. Since Father has such high hopes for Embracing Moon Sect, why not count this favor on his own head?

He believed that his father would be generous and wouldn't hold it against him!

"Brother, how could I be displeased? I'm more than happy."

Lin Fan laughed.

Truly a heavenly investor!

The Liu family's vision is unparalleled.

He had originally planned to acquire a batch himself in a while.

As for techniques and secret arts, he actually had some powerful ones in his hands, even including the "Nirvana Scripture," which can be considered a "crazy-level" technique. But most of them were obtained from Xiao Ling'er and Fan Jianqiang.

Myself, as the sect master, I can't just take advantage of my disciples' things, right? That would be shameless.

So I can only spend money to buy them, even if I can't buy the best, but something decent should be fine.

Anyway, Embracing Moon Sect has just started, and the standard techniques and secret arts are sufficient for now. As for the future? We'll talk about it later!

As for the template disciples, most of them come with cheats, so I don't need to worry too much. So there's no problem.

But now the Liu family has sent them, naturally it's even better. Saves me the trouble.

Are we considered brothers now?

Liu Xun felt very pleased.

The hidden Dao Fruit is still the same. After this operation by my father, our relationship has indeed improved.

But I'm not bad either. With a move like "Flower Replacement," this favor falls on me, right?

And it's good to have a brother!

I, Liu, like dealing with "good brothers" the most. Brothers are easy to talk to, hey.

He is smiling.

Lin Fan is also smiling.

It's good to have a brother!

I'm afraid that brothers will suffer, and I'm afraid that brothers will drive a Land Rover, oh no, I mean I'm afraid that brothers...

In short, having a good brother is enough.

"To be brothers in our hearts." Lin Fan pounded his chest and then hooked Liu Xun's neck. "I will remember the goodness of my brother, but can you do me a small favor?"

"You tell me."

Liu Xun said there's no problem.

"It's not a big deal, just a matter of intelligence."

"As the saying goes, intelligence comes before the movement of troops..."

"Isn't it about food and supplies?"

"Hey, don't pay attention to those details."

"In short, the current situation is that after the expansion of Embracing Moon Sect, we know too little about the surrounding neighbors. I think this is a risk. I believe the Liu family should have intelligence. Can we share it?"

"We don't need to know too much, just the intelligence about the sects and forces that border Embracing Moon Sect for now."

Lin Fan had been thinking about it before and now finally had some clues.

First, eliminate the crises he can think of.

Then... cultivate a group of followers.

For example, picking up a nuclear warhead in the desert, oh no, I mean, after they make a solemn vow, they are very lucky to find high-quality pills in the wilderness.

Lin Fan believes that this is very attractive to those small sects, small forces, and ordinary independent cultivators~

Making them fight to the death may not work.

But fighting half to death should be fine, right?

With Xiao Ling'er, pills are their greatest asset!

"That's a small matter."

Liu Xun agreed without asking for details.

He thought it was normal. If you want to develop, how can you not gather intelligence?

"After I go back, I will find that part and inform you through a sound transmission jade talisman."

"Thank you."

"I knew you would help with this favor."

Lin Fan smiled.

"There's another thing." Liu Xun said with a hint of fear, "Do you remember Long Aotian?"

"Of course I remember."

Lin Fan raised an eyebrow, "Did something happen to him?"

"He didn't have any trouble. Even when the Feather Clan launched a major attack, they couldn't find him. Even when the life and death of the entire Long family was threatened, Long Aotian didn't show up."

"Just before I came, news came from White Emperor City that the Long family has been completely wiped out."

"Not even a chicken or a dog was left."

"Only Long Aotian is hiding somewhere. The Feather Clan is very angry, and no one wants to provoke them at this critical moment."

"But this is also good news for Embracing Moon Sect. Their focus was on Long Aotian, so the little friction between you and them probably won't amount to anything."

Liu Xun sighed.

Although the Long family is not as strong as the Liu family, they are not weak either.

But they were wiped out because of that idiot Long Aotian!

As fellow young masters, can't he learn from this young master? Look at how stable this young master is!

"The Long family has been wiped out."

Lin Fan suddenly realized, feeling a bit emotional but not surprised.

I had already guessed it, after all, it's Long Aotian. Besides, even the newbie village is embarrassed to call themselves a protagonist template.

This also sounded the alarm for Lin Fan once again.

Even the protagonist template like Long Aotian was dragged into the newbie village. I have more than one protagonist template, so it's even more dangerous.

I must be cautious, cautious, and cautious!

...

Not long after Liu Xun returned, intelligence came.

Currently, there are six sects bordering the Embracing Moon Sect.

These sects are doing quite well, with about ten spiritual mountains. They have several hundred to over a thousand disciples, and the largest one has over three thousand people.

They don't have much background.

On weekdays, they rely on pleasing... um, pleasing the dominant sects to gain some benefits, such as providing them with talents, and so on.

Other than that, they can only "farm" on their own and develop slowly.

It is worth mentioning that the Jade Unicorn Palace, with its three thousand people, has a small elemental stone vein!

It is because of the existence of this elemental stone vein that they have been able to develop all the way and become the strongest in this area.

With seventeen spiritual mountains and over three thousand disciples, they even have three elders in the Finger Mystic realm.

If given some time and more opportunities, they may have a chance to challenge the second-rate sects in the future.

But it is really difficult, and there is only a glimmer of hope.

After all, this area is really too barren. A sect with over three thousand people supported by a small spiritual stone vein is already operating at full capacity. If they want to expand further, they either have to successfully expand their territory or produce a genius who can carry the sect forward.

The idea of carrying the sect forward may sound absurd, but in reality, many sects have developed and grown in this way. It is a very practical problem.

For example, a certain sect's founder is invincible and directly establishes a first-rate sect. This is also a case of someone carrying the sect forward.

Or a mediocre sect that luckily recruits a talented disciple who knows how to be grateful. Afterwards, they can lead the sect to overcome obstacles and grow continuously.

This is also carrying the sect forward.

Without a genius or a sudden opportunity, it is extremely rare for a force to develop, advance, and upgrade normally.

After all, this is the world of cultivation and fantasy, which is different from the development of ordinary companies in the mundane world.

It is not uncommon for the strength and talent of a genius to surpass an entire sect.

"But for now, it seems that there hasn't been a disciple in the Jade Unicorn Palace who can carry the sect forward alone, so it's worth a try."

"The other five sects... their strength is almost the same as the Peach Blossom Sect, so they can also be used."

Lin Fan pondered, his eyes gradually shining.

The next day.

Lin Fan found the Elder Su Xinghai and said, "Elder Su, please go to the Jade Unicorn Palace and the other six sects that border us and deliver these invitation cards."

"What does the Sect Master want?" Su Xinghai asked curiously.

"To establish a relationship with them!" Lin Fan smiled.

We are all brothers!

Su Xinghai was full of doubts, but he still obediently went to deliver the invitation cards.

He is now a fifth realm cultivator, fast, and with the Liu family as a background, these six sects envy and resent him, but they dare not cause trouble for him. They accepted the invitation cards without any trouble.

After all, they don't have any direct enmity with the Embracing Moon Sect. At most, they will be competitors in the future.

...

Jade Unicorn Palace.

Palace Master Wang Yulin played with the invitation cards.

Soon, the elders of the Jade Unicorn Palace arrived and took their seats.

Only then did he open the invitation cards and said, "Embracing Moon Sect sent Su Xinghai to deliver the invitation cards and invite all of you to come tomorrow to discuss important matters together!"

"Don't worry, it's a good thing for both of us."

"But if you don't come, I will ask the Liu family to take action, and you will bear the consequences."

Wang Yulin was stunned, and the elders were puzzled.

"What is this?"

"Is this how you write an invitation card?"

"This is not an invitation card, this is clearly a threat!"

"Does the Liu family have such a backing? It's just that we don't want to bow down and live under others. Otherwise, would we not have any support?!"

"This is too much, let me go and fight Lin Fan alone!!!"

They were suddenly furious.

Although they were all third-rate sects, they were considered "upper-class figures" within the third-rate sects. What is Embracing Moon Sect? Just half a year ago, they were struggling on the verge of destruction, and now they are threatening us?

Who can tolerate this!

"Palace Master, give the order!"

"Let's fight them!"

"Nonsense!!!" Wang Yulin frowned, he was also very angry.

Yulin Palace was created by him alone. As the "ancestor" and the palace master, he naturally refused to be humiliated. But for the sake of his pursuit, he had to remain calm.

"Embracing Moon Sect is currently in the limelight. Although their strength is not as good as ours, Xiao Ling'er's alchemy skills are outstanding, and now she has obtained the Strange Fire. It is likely that her relationship with the Liu family has also improved."

"If we make a move, the Liu family will definitely retaliate. At that time, we will have no way out!"

Wang Yulin took a deep breath and forcefully suppressed his anger, saying, "If it were in the past, it would be fine! But now, my son Wang Teng has the Posture of the Great Emperor..."

"As long as we lie low for a while, Yulin Palace can soar to new heights and become a second-rate or even first-rate sect. We must not act recklessly now!"

The elders smiled bitterly.

"What the sect master said is true."

"The young master is exceptionally talented. As long as we give him time..."

"What does the sect master mean?"

"Go there in person!"

Wang Yulin said coldly, "Since it is said to be a good thing, it shouldn't be too outrageous. As for safety, there is no need to worry too much."

"If they really want to take action, they can directly invite the Liu family. There is no need to deceive us."

"As for the last sentence, in my opinion, it is probably because they are afraid that we won't give them face, so they deliberately said that."

After calming down, he felt that accepting this invitation was not so difficult.

Of course, the main reason was that the Liu family was too strong and they couldn't win.

Otherwise...

Damn it!

"I will go in person."

"I want to see what tricks they are playing."

At this moment, a handsome young man suddenly jumped out from behind a pillar, saying, "Father, I will go with you."

"Wang Teng?"

Wang Yulin was somewhat annoyed, "Did you use secret techniques to hide and eavesdrop again?"

"Father, rest assured, I have made a breakthrough again. Even if there are any accidents, I am confident that I can bring you back safely."

The young man raised his head confidently.

He had an "invincible belief" and believed that he was invincible among his peers.

Who cares about Embracing Moon Sect?

Even Long Aotian, who has been making waves recently, is not his opponent!

This young man possesses the Posture of the Great Emperor!

"Father naturally knows that you are exceptionally talented, and with the Posture of the Great Emperor, you are already strong. But precisely because of this, you need to be patient..."

"Father, I have been patient for twenty years!"

"Moreover, it may not necessarily come to blows this time. Just let me go!"

Wang Teng was not convinced.

After arguing for a while, Wang Yulin couldn't persuade him and could only agree.

But he decided to ensure their safety.

He directly brought all the elders with him!

If Embracing Moon Sect really causes trouble, they will fight to the death!

"As long as my son can survive..."

...

Meanwhile, the other five sects also received invitations from Embracing Moon Sect, one after another.

At first, they all had smiles on their faces.

They thought that Embracing Moon Sect was coming to make amends. After all, they were "neighbors." If Embracing Moon Sect wanted to develop, they had to maintain good relations with their neighbors, right?

And with Embracing Moon Sect's size, what kind of waves could they make?

But after reading the invitations, they were all dumbfounded.

They were furious and shouted, "Embracing Moon Sect is outrageous!"

"This is unacceptable!"

"I'm furious!"

They were angry and roared, but then they contacted other sects and found out that several neighboring sects had also received the same invitation with the same content.

"Then let's go."

"I want to see what Embracing Moon Sect is up to!"
