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

Chapter 34: Achieving Fame and Fortune~

"Be careful!"

They only had time to exclaim in surprise before instinctively defending themselves...

But they didn't expect that this formation would be far more fierce and powerful than before. Their defense, caught off guard, crumbled like paper in an instant.

All the frantic measures they took were completely useless, and they could only watch helplessly as they were completely engulfed by the terrifying fluctuations of the formation.

"Ah!!!"

Boom!!!

A scream, accompanied by a loud rumbling sound, echoed far, far away.

At the same time, the earth shook.

Even Lin Fan and the other two, who had already run a distance away, could clearly feel it.

"Hiss!"

"What a powerful formation."

Fan Jianqiang looked into the distance, his face full of shock. "Second Elder's power is invincible. Judging from their screams, they must have all been completely killed by the formation set up by Second Elder, annihilated."

Lin Fan's mouth twitched, almost laughing out loud.

Although he managed to hold it back, he felt extremely uncomfortable.

Wu Xingyun blinked her eyes, a hint of confusion flashing across her beautiful face.

She even began to doubt her life.

She did set up the formation, and quite a few of them at that.

She could also confirm that the formation had been activated, which was evident from the screams of those people just now.

But, but...

It shouldn't be like this!

Judging from the vigorous roars of those people just now, even if they were injured, their injuries shouldn't be too severe. Moreover, her formation was a series of interconnected formations, one formation nested within another.

According to reason, once one of the formations was triggered, all the formations would activate at the same time and relentlessly kill the intruders.

But since they were able to withstand the first wave and start breaking the formation, they shouldn't suddenly be unable to hold on halfway and be killed by her own formation.

Moreover...

The intense rumbling sound just now even caused the earth to tremble from such a distance!

How could the formation she set up have such power?

Why didn't she know?

But the voices were still those people's voices.

Looking from a distance, the location of the intense explosion was not far from where she set up the formation.

She became even more confused, unable to figure out where the problem was.

But Fan Jianqiang, in front of her, continued to praise, making Wu Xingyun feel a bit floaty.

She couldn't help but think to herself: Could it be that I have reached a higher level of understanding of formations?

Or did I make a mistake in the chaos of setting up the formation, but accidentally made the formation even more amazing?!

No matter how she thought about it, she couldn't figure it out, so she could only explain it this way.

She concealed her confusion and embarrassment, saying, "Ahem, I have studied formations for many years. Although I'm not that powerful, killing a few small fries is still a piece of cake."

But even she didn't believe what she said.

Lin Fan was overjoyed in his heart.

"Indeed, I didn't guess wrong. This guy is definitely a survivor!! Maybe he doesn't know he's the protagonist for now, but surviving is definitely a sure thing. This kind of person, even if he's not the protagonist, will still benefit greatly from joining the sect!"

And he can really pretend!

Fan Jianqiang, in particular, was applauding, "Second Elder is mighty!"

"In the future, the disciples will definitely learn from you..."

Wu Xingyun: "Ahem."

So awkward.

But she couldn't show it, she had to pretend to be mysterious...

Even more awkward.

But what's going on?

As she hurried along, she recalled the details of setting up the formation, but no matter how she thought about it, she couldn't figure out where the problem was.

Even more confused.

It was at this moment that Fan Jianqiang, who had been praising her, suddenly took out something from his storage bag, saying, "Master, Second Elder, I suddenly had a stroke of luck and remembered the last divination. I want to deduce it."

"You may proceed."

Here it comes, here it comes, it's starting again.

Lin Fan didn't stop him, but instead watched him perform with a smile on his face.

With approval, Fan Jianqiang wasted no time and immediately began operating.

After a moment, he looked terrified.

"Huh?!"

"Master, Second Elder, the divination shows great misfortune, it's a sign of great misfortune! It's a very bad omen!"

Lin Fan wasn't surprised at all.

"Hmm?"

Wu Xingyun, on the other hand, was slightly stunned. "Great misfortune according to the divination? This? I also have some knowledge of divination. Based on the divination just now, it should be 'Thunder and Fire Abundance,' right?

The so-called abundance hexagram represents prosperity and growth, a name that matches reality.

The upper hexagram represents thunder, and the lower hexagram represents fire, meaning 'thunder and fire are both present.'

Thunder is what the ears hear, and fire is what the eyes see.

What is heard is virtual, and what is seen is real.

What is heard is 'reputation,' and what is seen is 'actual performance.'

This hexagram can be interpreted as gaining both fame and fortune.

Although it is not an extremely auspicious hexagram, it is still a rare auspicious one."

A hexagram that represents gaining both fame and fortune, and you call it great misfortune?

After listening to the Second Elder's explanation, Lin Fan's mouth twitched slightly.

But when he thought about the fact that the person who said this was a member of the "Surviving Flow," he felt relieved.

What does "Surviving Flow" mean?

A 98% chance is equivalent to certain death!

A mere auspicious hexagram, not a highly auspicious one, what's the difference with certain death?

So it's understandable... What the hell is going on in the minds of people like this?

Lin Fan secretly complained.

Fan Jianqiang, on the other hand, was taken aback and felt that things were not going well.

He secretly muttered, "Why does the Second Elder know everything?"

"According to reason, shouldn't these small sect elders have limited knowledge and skills? How can they even understand divination? This... it's not easy to deceive them!"

"Miscalculated!"

"If I had known, I should have come up with a different explanation. Now..."

"What should I do?"

Fortunately, he reacted quickly.

"Second Elder, there's something you don't know about. This divination was not done for us, but... for the pursuers."

"And because of that, an auspicious hexagram is a great misfortune for us! They gain fame and fortune, but what about us..."

"Is that so?!" The Second Elder was surprised.

"Is there a way to break it?"

She did have some knowledge of divination, but it was only superficial.

She could understand the hexagram, but she was powerless to break it.

"There is!" Fan Jianqiang immediately nodded and confidently said, "Second Elder, your mastery of formations is so high. Previously, when you set up some formations, you wiped out a part of the enemy. Since that's the case, why not do it again?!"

"I think that when the later pursuers discover the traces of the formation, they will naturally assume that the infiltrator has triggered the formation. Who would have thought that even if they were cautious, it was only for a moment.

Who would have thought that there would be a hidden formation in such a distant place?"

Wu Xingyun blinked. "Set up the formation again?"

"Set up the formation again!" Fan Jianqiang nodded heavily.

"Good!"

Although they didn't know what went wrong, the previous formation must have worked. Since that's the case, why not do it again?

They immediately landed, and Wu Xingyun didn't care about the pain anymore and started immediately.

Fan Jianqiang, on the other hand, held his stomach again. "Oh, I was scared just now and came over in a hurry. Now I have some time, but I can't bear the stomachache."

Lin Fan listened helplessly and stared at him with a smile that wasn't a smile. "Go then."
