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

Chapter 55: Driving Tigers and Swallowing Wolves

"Unfortunately, for people like us, the truth of that year never came to light, or rather, we were not qualified to know," Lin Fan estimated that the person who brought the last inheritance of the Embracing Moon Sect here was just an ordinary inner disciple during its heyday, so he was not qualified to know about the upper echelons.

If he wasn't qualified to know, then naturally the descendants wouldn't know either.

"We'll slowly investigate and eventually understand the reasons."

"But this also reminds me that as the Embracing Moon Sect continues to develop, we must be careful of our enemies from the past."

Why didn't they completely eradicate them back then?

Lin Fan didn't know.

But he was certain that there were definitely people who wouldn't just sit back and watch the Embracing Moon Sect rise. Once they noticed signs of the Embracing Moon Sect's revival and resurgence, they would definitely cause trouble.

"Hiss."

"Trouble always comes when you least expect it."

"Being the sect master is really not easy."

"But if we can find out who's behind all this earlier, we can try to find those troublemakers and figure out a way to deal with them..."

"Forget it, that's still too far away. The most urgent matter is to squeeze some benefits out of the angel investors."

With this in mind, Lin Fan swept his divine sense and contacted the five elders, "Elders, come for a meeting."

...

At the same time, Liu Xun and the other two were speeding through the air.

One of the elders couldn't help but say, "Young Master, your promise just now was not part of the plan. It took quite a toll to temporarily stop the formation at the Sixth Realm. As for the Patriarch..."

"Hmph."

Liu Xun raised his head and coldly snorted, "Uncle Seven, I don't like what you just said."

"In our Liu family, such a small matter is still up to me to decide."

The two elders: "???"

...

Their faces twitched uncontrollably and their mouths trembled.

If you said this to outsiders, they might believe it.

But can you fool us?

It's really hard to bear!

But young people, they're full of youthful energy, and it's understandable that they want to show off. After all, everyone was young once. At times like this, let's not ruin the atmosphere.

Since we're not the ones who made the promise, even if the Patriarch blames us, it has nothing to do with us.

Let's see how you handle it!

Back at the Patriarch's place, the two elders disappeared in a flash.

Although they really wanted to follow and immediately bring back some high-quality pills for their disappointing juniors, because of Liu Xun's promise, they couldn't go.

If they did...

At the very least, they would be blamed for not taking good care of things.

So, they endured!

Meanwhile, Liu Xun walked with his head held high, like a victorious general, acting all high and mighty to everyone he saw.

Until...

He arrived at his father's room and closed the door.

Thud.

Liu Xun knelt down directly and said firmly, "Father."

The Liu family patriarch was taken aback, then furrowed his brows deeply, "???"

"What have you done this time?"

No one knows a child better than their father.

He knew better than anyone that when this 'genius' started scheming, it never ended well.

"It's nothing, really. It's just that the results from the Embracing Moon Sect exceeded expectations, and I was very happy. But they are constantly facing threats, so to prevent any accidents, I took the liberty to say..."

After speaking, Liu Xun looked at his father expectantly, "Father, can you understand my good intentions?"

"And besides, although this formation is valuable, fortunately, the Embracing Moon Sect is very small, with only one Ling Mountain. As for us..."

"That's enough."

"Can't you let me worry less?" The Liu family patriarch rubbed his temples.

"What do you mean?"

"You agreed to it, so what else can I do? You have no shame, so should I not have any either?"

"Go and prepare."

"If we can exceed expectations again during the next handover of elixirs, what does it matter if we set up a formation for them?"

"I knew it, Father, you're the best."

Liu Xun was overjoyed. Isn't this great?!

Successful showing off!

Although I can't speak standing up right now, no one knows!

But the next sentence from his father made Liu Xun's smile turn into a cry.

"The expenses will be deducted from your monthly allowance. If one month is not enough, then two months. If one year is not enough, then two years."

"What?!"

I'm screwed.

How will the young master of the Shao family take care of the girl who is barely clothed at the Nuanxiang Tower?

······

"Expansion of the sect..."

Li Changshou pondered for a moment. "With the current strength of our Embracing Moon Sect, we are not weak among the third-rate sects. We should be considered upper-middle level."

"At least in terms of high-end combat power."

"In the current territory, we are indeed qualified to occupy more spiritual mountains."

After all, this is a "remote and desolate place," and there aren't many powerful sects to be found. With an Elder in the Finger Mystic realm presiding, isn't that impressive?

"However, if we were to engage in a battle with others, it would not be so easy."

He looked at Lin Fan and sighed, "Unless the Sect Master is willing to relax the sect's prohibition..."

What is the sect's prohibition?

When engaging with others, it is necessary to completely eliminate the threat and leave no trace. If we want to seize someone else's territory, we have to destroy their entire sect and do it instantly. And we must be at least three realms higher than them...

Currently, we cannot meet this condition!

"According to the Sect Master's intention, it is too dangerous to provoke enemies in such a reckless manner," Chen Erzhu sighed lightly.

"I understand your thoughts, and I am more worried about the risks than you are." However, Lin Fan remained calm.

He set the rules himself, how could he not know?

"So, we cannot take action."

"Not take action?"

"Could it be... buy? We have the financial resources now, after all, the Spirit Communication Mountain is not too expensive."

Duan Qingyao was surprised, "But according to the 32nd article of the sect's prohibition, we cannot reveal our wealth."

Lin Fan shook his head, "We have to use our wits, drive away the tiger and swallow the wolf."

"And then reap the benefits."

The several Elders were confused by what they heard, but Lin Fan didn't explain immediately. Instead, he looked at Su Xinghai with a smile, "Elder Su, a few days ago, I heard you say that the Eight Sword Sect, Peach Blossom Sect, and Golden Eagle Sect have formed an alliance?"

"Yes, Sect Master."

Su Xinghai nodded, "I received the news that these three sects had conflicts with us before, but now that they know our Sect Master has made a breakthrough, they are quite worried. So they formed an alliance to prevent us from retaliating against them."

"Oh~"

Lin Fan suddenly realized, "What about the territories of these three sects?"

"They are adjacent to our Embracing Moon Sect. The three sects have a total of twenty-seven spiritual mountains, and more than twenty of them have richer resources than ours."

The Grand Elder didn't beat around the bush like the others. Whatever Lin Fan asked, he answered directly.

"Twenty-seven."

Lin Fan pondered, "Let's try to take all twenty-seven spiritual mountains within a month."

"They have formed an alliance, so we don't have much chance of winning against them," the Grand Elder hesitated.

"That's why we have to drive away the tiger and swallow the wolf."

Lin Fan's eyes narrowed, "But do you still remember the rainy night a month ago?"

"Find a way to recreate it."

"Just change the target to the Eight Sword Sect and the other two sects."

The five Elders were suddenly shocked.

Thank you all for your support and votes. I wish you good luck, happiness, beautiful women, and good health.

Also, I want to mention that the update time is at noon every day, not midnight. I noticed that several readers were waiting late at night, so I wanted to clarify.
