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

Chapter 95: Unreasonable? Then let's fight! One move to finish it! Monstrosity - W Character

Origin Returning Sect disciple was extremely arrogant.

He accepted the sect's mission to recruit the Fan family and make them a subsidiary force of the Origin Returning Sect.

He thought it would be an easy task, as simple as eating and drinking.

And the Fan family, being fortunate enough to be affiliated with the Origin Returning Sect, should be overjoyed, grateful, and eager to please, right?!

But when he brought his people here, he realized something was wrong.

The Fan family showed no signs of joy.

In their interactions, they even hinted at avoiding the matter multiple times...

How unreasonable!

He was very unhappy and was about to lose his temper when Xiao Ling'er appeared before him.

After analyzing the situation, he understood the cause and effect.

He had encountered an opponent.

But he looked down on them.

The Embracing Moon Sect was just a third-rate sect, why should they compete with his Origin Returning Sect? Fan Jin, the head of the Fan family, must have lost his mind!

As for himself, he absolutely couldn't back down.

Otherwise, if word got out, how could he maintain his dignity?

Losing to a sword disciple?

Ha, how long had he been in the Spirit Sword Sect? He was just another weak disciple of a third-rate sect before, only learning a few things.

The widely spread rumors about Xiao Ling'er being a peerless genius, in his eyes, she was clearly just a sword disciple with talent who had recently joined and hadn't learned much yet, which was why she lost.

As for himself, he was the second-ranked disciple of the Origin Returning Sect!

As for the agreement...

He remained calm and said, "Master Fan, what agreement do you have? Please tell me."

"Well..."

Fan Jin looked around, appearing extremely humble.

Not only him, but all similar cultivators and small families were like this in front of major sects.

Even if it was just an ordinary third-rate sect, it was already a huge existence to them, and they didn't dare to offend it. Otherwise, it would be a disaster for their family.

They simply couldn't afford to offend.

But Fan Jin was able to become the head of the family and lead the Fan family's development over the years. Naturally, he had a strong character. He quickly took a deep breath and said, "I have a prior agreement with Miss Xiao from the Embracing Moon Sect."

"As long as Miss Xiao and the Embracing Moon Sect can help the Fan family find our clan member, Fan Shouxin, or any news about him, the Fan family will be affiliated with the Embracing Moon Sect."

"If this agreement is violated, the family will be destroyed."

"So..."

"Friend Qin, I'm sorry, but I can't accept the invitation from the Origin Returning Sect."

"It's not that the Origin Returning Sect is not strong, but there was a prior agreement, and the Fan family doesn't have this blessing."

"Please understand, Friend Qin..."

"Oh?"

Origin Returning Sect's second-ranked disciple, Qin Chuanliu, smiled. "So that's how it is."

He smiled on the surface, but he was somewhat annoyed inside.

In his opinion, Fan Jin was someone who lacked intelligence!

He came representing the Origin Returning Sect, which was such a powerful existence. How could the Embracing Moon Sect, which was far inferior, be chosen over his sect?

Just because of a stupid agreement?

A mere agreement, what does it matter?

With the Origin Returning Sect present, how could the Embracing Moon Sect, Xiao Ling'er, or anyone else dare to make a move?

They wouldn't even dare to fart, yet you refuse me and make me lose face.

Moreover, what's the difference between following the Origin Returning Sect or the Embracing Moon Sect? Why bother thinking about it?

Truly lacking intelligence!

Qin Chuanliu was unhappy, but he had already made up his mind. Today, he must bring the Fan family under his control.

For his own face, and for the face of the Origin Returning Sect.

Otherwise, if it were to spread that the mighty Origin Returning Sect couldn't compete with a small Embracing Moon Sect, how could they maintain their dignity?

His thoughts quickly turned, seemingly slow but actually fast.

It was just a moment, and Qin Chuanliu said again, "However, I think this is just an agreement, not an oath, right? As they say, words are unreliable, and the situation is constantly changing."

"In my opinion..."

"Sister Xiao, you wouldn't want to force someone, right?"

"Let's forget about this agreement."

"As for helping the Fan family, I personally will give you a thousand spirit stones as compensation for your hard work. Let's end this matter, shall we?"

"You!?"

Murong Pipa became angry.

"This is unreasonable! Don't you understand the concept of first come, first served!?"

He couldn't help but speak out.

This was too insulting!

Not only did he want to intercept them, but he also proposed compensating them with a thousand spirit stones.

What's a thousand spirit stones?!

In the past, when the Embracing Moon Sect only had him and six other disciples, it was indeed a considerable fortune, but that was it!

At that time, it was just a not insignificant amount of wealth.

What is it now?

Not to mention that the Embracing Moon Sect had just obtained a vein, even if they hadn't, the pills they received as monthly allowances as inner disciples far exceeded a thousand spirit stones.

Just taking out a high-quality Condensing Essence Pill would be worth more than that!

He could receive ten of them every month!

And myself, I am just an inner disciple.

But Senior Sister is a direct disciple, and she is also the chief of the Pill Refining Pavilion!

Almost all the elixirs in the sect are made by Senior Sister. I have taken on tasks and helped her before.

But now, Qin Chuanliu wants to dismiss Senior Sister with just a thousand yuan stones?

This is simply unreasonable.

This is unbearable!

Murong Piba couldn't stand it.

Zuo Qingqing and the others also frowned, expressing their dissatisfaction.

"Hehe."

But Qin Chuanliu chuckled, "First come, first served? Interesting, interesting."

"I haven't heard this term in a long time."

"You should know that we cultivators have always valued strength above all else!"

"Why talk about who came first?"

"Tell me, if we find opportunities and treasures outside, do we also have to follow the first come, first served rule? Whoever discovers it first, it belongs to them?"

"Hahaha."

"Sorry, I don't usually laugh, unless I can't help it."

"Furthermore..."

Boom!

He suddenly erupted with his own aura, like a rushing river, instantly making the six auspicious animals tremble and feel a chill all over.

"What are you, daring to speak out in front of this sequence?!"

"Slap, this sequence won't stop until it's done, otherwise..."

"This?"

Fan Jin was stunned.

Why did it suddenly become like this?!

Caught in the middle, he was at a loss, wanting to speak to mediate, but was mocked by Qin Chuanliu, "Master Fan, I'll give you face, call you Master Fan."

"But what do you think you are?"

"Do you think I should give you face and let it go?"

"I came to the Origin Returning Sect personally, already giving you enough face, but you refuse to accept it and even want to plead for this person who offended this sequence."

"You..."

"But have you thought it through?"

"That's enough."

Finally.

Xiao Ling'er spoke up.

With light steps, she took just half a step forward.

Buzz.

A strange fluctuation spread out, instantly breaking Qin Chuanliu's astonishing aura. Murong Piba and the other six felt a sudden relief, almost collapsing.

After barely standing firm, they realized that their vests were already soaked with sweat, and their foreheads were covered in beads of sweat.

She understood.

This Fan Jin was a reasonable person.

Perhaps he couldn't afford to offend either side, so he was conflicted.

But at least, he didn't lean towards the Origin Returning Sect.

That was enough.

"There is something you said that makes sense."

Xiao Ling'er faced Qin Chuanliu directly, not giving an inch, "In the Immortal Martial Continent, strength is respected."

"But my Embracing Moon Sect arrived first, and we had an agreement with the Fan family first. You, representing the Origin Returning Sect, want to snatch it away, but it is your Origin Returning Sect that is in the wrong."

"Do you acknowledge this?"

Qin Chuanliu sneered, "Strength is the truth."

"I am stronger than you, so I am right."

"If you admit it, fine. But as for who is stronger, it's not just a matter of words."

Xiao Ling'er remained calm, "I just want to know, if I defeat you here, will your Origin Returning Sect cause trouble for my Embracing Moon Sect?"

"Are you afraid?"

"Then get lost!"

Qin Chuanliu sneered, "Defeat this sequence? Who do you think you are?"

"If it weren't for the fact that Sword Sect's disciple has only been practicing for a short time, could you be their match?"

"Enough."

Xiao Ling'er sighed softly, "It's easy to provoke the King of Hell, but difficult to deal with a troublesome ghost. In that case, I will capture you and personally send you back to the Origin Returning Sect, explaining the reason."

"If your Origin Returning Sect is reasonable, this matter will end here."

"If you are unreasonable..."

"I want to see if your Origin Returning Sect has the courage to take me down at the risk of offending the Sword Sect."

She showed no fear.

You say strength is respected?

Then let's fight!

It just so happens that I can let the Fan family see the strength of my Embracing Moon Sect disciples!

So what if the Origin Returning Sect is a second-rate sect?

So what if you, Qin Chuanliu, are in the second sequence?

I, Xiao Ling'er, have no fear!

"Sharp-tongued!"

Qin Chuanliu's face gradually turned cold: "Do you really think you're an unrivaled genius?"

"If you were someone like Long Aotian, I wouldn't dare to act rashly, let alone fight you. But what are you?!"

"Don't think that just because you have the backing of the Spirit Sword Sect, you can call the shots. I may not dare to kill you, but what can you do if I capture you or humiliate you?"

Xiao Ling'er smiled and said no more, pointing to the sky.

"Bold."

Qin Chuanliu laughed.

He had long wanted to make a move!

"I've been waiting for you up there... cry!"

Boom!

Qin Chuanliu immediately soared into the sky, breaking through the roof with a large hole.

Several disciples of the Origin Returning Sect who followed him also sneered and followed closely behind.

"Sister Senior."

Murong Pipa smiled bitterly, "It was my impulsiveness, otherwise..."

"You did the right thing."

"I, as a disciple of the Embracing Moon Sect, may not be immune to humiliation, but I won't tolerate such humiliation."

"Besides, he's not worthy."

Xiao Ling'er smiled slightly, not blaming her, but rather praising her.

Murong Pipa and the other five disciples were slightly stunned, and then their minds were stirred!

Fan Jin, on the other hand, was restless and at a loss, and transmitted his voice anxiously, "Miss Xiao, Qin Chuanliu is the second-ranked disciple of the Origin Returning Sect, with strong power after many years of cultivation. It would be extremely dangerous for you to fight him."

"I wonder if there is a way to think of a solution for now..."

"Master Fan, rest assured."

"Be prepared to become a member of the Embracing Moon Sect."

Xiao Ling'er responded softly, and then soared into the sky.

Fan Jin was initially stunned.

Then his scalp went numb.

To be so confident even knowing it's the fifth realm?!

Could it be that this person known as the unrivaled genius, Xiao Ling'er...

He immediately appeared on the roof, releasing his divine sense and focusing on the sky.

As for the humiliation Qin Chuanliu had just inflicted, he could only pretend nothing had happened.

Otherwise, what else could he do?

This is the tragedy of insignificant people.

······

"You do have courage."

Qin Chuanliu and Xiao Ling'er both soared into the air, standing a hundred meters apart.

For cultivators in the fourth and fifth realms, this distance was as close as it could get.

He chuckled, "Are you ready to accept defeat?"

"Xiao... genius?"

The word "genius" was heavily emphasized, particularly grating.

"You talk too much."

"Are you afraid and dare not make a move?"

As Xiao Ling'er spoke, she formed hand seals with both hands.

"Oh? Can't wait anymore? That's right, if you don't make the first move, you won't have a chance to make a move at all. But I, as a person, care most about fairness."

"So, let's make a move together."

Boom!

Qin Chuanliu also made a move.

He opened his hands and then closed them in front of him.

A semi-transparent energy ball gathered in his palm, with a terrifying energy fluctuation that was shocking.

Several disciples of the Origin Returning Sect who were watching from a distance were amazed.

"Wow!"

"Six points of Essence Qi?!"

"Isn't this the limit that can be displayed by the fifth realm?"

"Qin Senior Brother is actually going all out with his first move? This... is he overestimating this Xiao Ling'er?"

"Hmph." The only female disciple among them snorted coldly, "What do you know? Even a lion goes all out when pouncing on a rabbit. This Xiao Ling'er must have some ability!"

"Besides, the Fan family is watching!"

"The Fan family is nothing, but Qin Senior Brother must win beautifully and cleanly, otherwise, what's the difference from failure?"

"I see!"

They suddenly realized, but were shocked at this moment.

"Why did Xiao Ling'er's cultivation suddenly skyrocket?!"

"No, it skyrocketed again!"

"Third time, she... a half-step Finger Mystic?!"

"Not good!"

They finally changed their expressions.

Qin Chuanliu's face also changed, but he was not panicked, "Hmph, so this is your reliance?! It's indeed amazing, but so what?"

"After all, you're not in the fifth realm. You will lose!"

With a flick of his finger, the energy ball with terrifying fluctuations flew out, astonishingly fast.

Xiao Ling'er didn't dodge or avoid, and at some point, a small colorful fireball had quietly formed in the palm of her hand.

She...

Equally beautiful and determined to win, to crush everything in her path!

Boom!!!

Suddenly, the world changed.

A scorching sun appeared in the sky, two suns in one day!

"Oh no!!!"

Fan Jin's face changed drastically. Even though they were far apart, his scalp tingled and his heart raced.

"Activate the clan protection formation quickly!!!"

Boom boom boom...

In less than a second, a terrifying shockwave arrived.

Even though they were far apart, even though the formation had been activated, the Fan family was still hit by a strong wind, causing many people to stumble and even the roofs to be blown away.

And this was the result of Fan Jin's full protection.

"This, this??!!"

He was shocked, looking at the slowly dissipating sun, his mouth twisted, unable to speak a complete sentence for a while.

When he reacted and started to pay attention to the sky, wanting to know who would win, his whole body trembled.

"People..."

"Where are the people?!"

In his spiritual sense, Xiao Ling'er's aura returned to normal, unharmed.

But Qin Chuan...

His body was in tatters, already unconscious, falling freely from high in the sky.

As for the other Origin Returning sect disciples, they had all disappeared without a trace, as if they had never appeared!

"Oh no!"

Although he would have loved for this damn dog to fall to his death, considering his own meager strength and not wanting to cause trouble for the Embracing Moon Sect, Fan Jin suppressed the urge in his heart and caught Qin Chuan.

Then he immediately infused Profound Essence into him and discovered that Qin Chuan was severely injured!

He hadn't been killed or crippled because he had a High Grade Spirit Weapon protecting his meridians and dantian.

But at this moment, the High Grade Spirit Weapon was already full of cracks, on the verge of breaking.

This discovery made Fan Jin's pupils shrink.

"This..."

"This is the strength of a direct disciple of the Upper Sect?!"

"No wonder he's called a peerless genius, capable of defeating Sword Child."

"The full force of the second sequence of the Origin Returning sect couldn't even last a round, and even the High Grade Spirit Weapon was shattered!"

"In that case, even the first sequence of the Origin Returning sect probably couldn't do it."

"If that's the case, my choice was correct!"

"Success lies in the details, and wealth lies in danger!"

"Depending on the Embracing Moon Sect will inevitably bring many dangers, and may even offend the Origin Returning sect, but now the Embracing Moon Sect is lucky and thriving!"

"With the care of the Liu family, there may not be much difference between facing the Origin Returning sect and relying on the Yunxiao Valley. At most, it's just barely surviving."

"But if I attach myself to the Embracing Moon Sect now..."

"Once the Embracing Moon Sect rises, it will be a great achievement."

"Choose the Embracing Moon Sect!!!"

Before this, he had some hesitation.

But at this moment, his conviction was unwavering.

After landing, Fan Jin placed Qin Chuan on the ground and reluctantly fed him a pill.

He would have preferred for Qin Chuan to die immediately, but...

He couldn't die in the Fan family!

Then he sent his clansmen to search for the other Origin Returning sect disciples.

It was at this moment that Xiao Ling'er descended slowly.

"Sister Senior is invincible!!!"

Murong Pipa and the other six mascots shouted.

Xiao Ling'er smiled and looked at the Fan family, saying, "Master of the Fan family, have you made a decision?"

"Why does the Upper Sect say this?"

Fan Jianqiang hurriedly said, "We had an agreement beforehand, and the Upper Sect has already fulfilled the agreement. My Fan family is not a treacherous and unfaithful clan!"

"My Fan family, from now on, will be a subordinate force of the Upper Sect! We will look up to the Upper Sect and will never dare to disobey. Otherwise, our family will be destroyed, and no one will survive!"

"If I violate this oath, my Dao heart will collapse, my body will die, and I will never be reborn!"

"Good!"

Xiao Ling'er also smiled.

It was not in vain that she had taken action.

Then she took out a token and said, "This is our sect's token, which can contact the Fifth Elder. If there is anything, contact in advance!"

"Later, our sect will send someone to set up a teleportation array."

"As for now..."

"I am going to Origin Returning Sect." Xiao Ling'er looked at Qin Chuanliu, who was still in a coma, with a broken body and only one limb left. "There must be a conclusion to this matter."

"This?" Fan Jin felt both delighted and a little headache.

If Xiao Ling'er could solve the worries of the aftermath, it would be good, but would it be that easy?

"Why don't you go back to the sect first and discuss it with the elders?"

"No need."

"This matter started because of me, so it should end because of me." Xiao Ling'er's attitude was resolute.

In her opinion, Origin Returning Sect might not dare to do anything to her. Therefore, she didn't want to involve Embracing Moon Sect. Although Origin Returning Sect would definitely not openly harm Embracing Moon Sect, they might cause trouble secretly or target the disciples who went out. It would be troublesome.

If she could solve it herself, she would.

Fan Jin ultimately couldn't persuade her.

After the remaining disciples of Origin Returning Sect who were "blown away" were found and brought back, Xiao Ling'er set off alone with them.

Muran Pipa, Zuo Qingqing, and the other six mascots had already returned to Embracing Moon Sect after the teleportation array was set up.

Accompanying them were Fan Jin and several members of the Fan family.

Before long, they met Lin Fan at Embracing Moon Palace.

"Greetings, Sect Master."

Fan Jin and the others showed a solemn expression and bowed.

"No need for formalities. I believe that Fan family's choice to join Embracing Moon Sect is a very correct one."

"The final result will be a win-win situation."

Lin Fan was in a good mood.

Although Fan Jin immediately revealed that Xiao Ling'er had gone alone to Origin Returning Sect, he was not worried at all. He even felt a sense of accomplishment.

"Indeed, I didn't guess wrong."

"Wherever these protagonist templates go, it can never be peaceful."

"No matter how small the matter seems, unexpected things will happen when they take over, and the final result is turning these unexpected things into opportunities."

"And then, the people or forces close to them will encounter some crises, and then..."

"Will the protagonist template save them at a critical moment?"

Lin Fan marveled secretly.

The forces belonging to other protagonist templates might face many dangers and even be wiped out.

But as for the Flame Emperor...

It seemed that apart from his own newbie village, every time he would save someone at a critical moment.

Thinking like this, Lin Fan made corresponding arrangements for the Fan family.

"Huishan Mine, your Fan family can send suitable manpower for this task. You are familiar with it. As for the reward, it will be increased by 20% compared to before."

"Those who perform exceptionally well will receive additional rewards."

"Thank you, Sect Master!" Fan Jin was overjoyed.

"In addition, your Fan family will enjoy internal privileges."

"Internal privileges? May I ask..."

Fan Jin's expression changed.

Being mentioned so seriously by Lin Fan meant that it was of utmost importance!

The so-called internal privileges meant the privileges of being a member of Embracing Moon Sect. Since they were attached to Embracing Moon Sect and working for Embracing Moon Sect, they were naturally part of it.

"This benefit is quite simple."

Lin Fan smiled slightly. "It means that you can purchase various cultivation resources within Embracing Moon Sect at internal prices."

"This includes but is not limited to techniques, secret arts, elixirs, Law Treasures, etc."

"Afterwards, Embracing Moon Sect will update the 'list' every year. Everything on the list can be purchased at internal prices, which is very cost-effective."

"It's only about 60-70% of the market price."

"But there are also regulations."

"The items purchased with internal discounts can only be used by your Fan family. If you sell them outside..."

Lin Fan's smile remained. "Fan Jin should understand the consequences."

"I understand, Fan Jin understands!"

Fan Jin quickly said, "Sect Master, rest assured, the Fan family will never engage in such selfish acts! If any clan member dares to do so, I will personally punish them severely."

He was extremely excited in his heart!

This internal privilege was too wonderful!

With this privilege, various resources would be discounted to 60-70% of the original price. How much could they save on expenses?

Not only that, but there were also techniques, secret arts, and so on.

How much did the Fan family have?

They were all ordinary goods. Embracing Moon Sect had been passed down for so many years, there must be some good things, right?

If he could buy some...

The rise of the Fan family was within reach!

Indeed, his choice was correct. Joining Embracing Moon Sect was not a loss!!!

But then, his face turned dark.

Something was wrong!

The Fan family had no spirit stones left!

They had all been handed over to Fan Shouxin and the others to exchange for resources. And all of this happened yesterday, just one day! Just one day!

Thinking of this, Fan Jin felt a sense of panic and almost spewed out a mouthful of blood.

I lost big time!!!

"Oh, there's another internal privilege," Lin Fan said again, "If you, as a member of the Fan family, want to join the sect for cultivation, the entry requirements will be slightly lower than those for external personnel, but the treatment will remain the same."

Internal privileges, huh.

Naturally, it is necessary to show hope and benefits to affiliated forces.

In modern society, this kind of operation is simply commonplace.

But in the Immortal Martial Continent, this is an unprecedented privilege.

Lowering the threshold for accepting disciples is quite common, but the act of "giving benefits" has never been done by any sect.

Simply because in the eyes of these sects: Why?!

You small clans and forces can't survive on your own. You rely on us to survive. We help you weather the storm, so you can survive. You do things for us, work for us, provide for us. Isn't that only natural?

Even ordinary people know about paying protection fees~

In the end, it all evens out, and you still want us to give discounts, give privileges?

Dream on!

But Lin Fan doesn't think so.

You have to win people's hearts!

Although the saying "win the hearts of the people, win the world" doesn't completely apply in the Immortal Martial Continent, winning people's hearts still has some use.

Moreover~

You have to establish your own image!

Once Embracing Moon Sect has a good image, the Fan family will also taste the benefits. Naturally, they will work harder for Embracing Moon Sect. And after this matter spreads, more small forces and clans will want to join.

With this back and forth, won't there be more affiliated forces?

Affiliated forces can be seen as "peripheral forces" or "temporary workers" in the game. They may not be able to do big things, but they can handle small tasks. And after they finish, they still have to provide for the sect every year~

What's wrong with giving them some privileges?!

It's just selling internal items to them at a lower price, earning a little less, but still making money.

In games, don't they have guilds with guild buffs?

At this moment, looking at Fan Jin's tearful expression of gratitude, Lin Fan feels even more convinced that his decision was correct.

Internal privileges~

They're so sweet!

After a moment.

Fan Jin received the list, and then...

He cried.

"Master Fan, is it really necessary to cry like this?" Lin Fan scratched his head.

Am I going too far?

But there aren't many Law Treasures, and they are all "street stall goods." The cultivation techniques are also of medium quality, all obtained from the Liu family for free, only the pill quality is higher.

Starting from Fifth Grade.

The highest is Seventh Grade.

It's not that higher quality items can't be sold, but even if they are sold, the Fan family can't afford them.

And once news of these things leaks out, the Fan family will attract too much trouble, which is unnecessary.

But looking at Fan Jin's current appearance, it seems that even Fifth to Seventh Grade is a bit too high, directly moved to tears?

"Master, this is not your concern, it's me, it's me, this..."

Holding the list, Fan Jin wanted to cry even more.

These are all good things!

Especially these pills, from Rank One to Rank Four, and all of them are Fifth Grade or higher, and the prices are low!!!

But unfortunately, I can't afford anything!

It's so frustrating!

If I hadn't made that decision suddenly yesterday...

At this moment, Fan Jin just wants to splurge!

So angry!!!

He can only endure the pain and put away the list, then prepare to take his leave.

"Hmm?"

Lin Fan was a little surprised, "Master Fan, don't you want to buy anything? Today is our first meeting, and I happen to have some free time. Whatever you want, I will personally get it for you, so as not to trouble you."

Fan Jin: "o(╥﹏╥)o!!!"

"Then, um..."

"Thank you for your concern, Master. For now, for now..."

"Oh, I understand!"

Lin Fan suddenly realized, "You don't need these resources for now?"

"In that case, the Fan family's foundation is quite good."

"It's okay, it's okay."

Lin Fan smiled, "When you need them in the future, it's not too late to buy them."

Fan Jin's face turned red.

He wanted to tell the truth, but after thinking about it, telling the truth would be a bit embarrassing, especially for himself. So he could only remain silent and choose to default.

And this misunderstanding... should also make the upper sect take a closer look, right?

...

"Embracing Moon Sect's Xiao Ling'er is here to pay her respects."

Looking at the grand and bustling Origin Returning Sect and its busy disciples, Xiao Ling'er took a deep breath and spoke loudly.

"Embracing Moon Sect?"

"Xiao Ling'er?!"

The disciples were all shocked.

However, the higher-ups remained calm.

Although they didn't know her intentions, Xiao Ling'er was just one person, not worth their attention.

They immediately ordered her to enter the sect.

But suddenly, an elder became suspicious.

"Something's not right!"

"What's wrong?!"

"Why are the second-ranked disciples all heavily injured and broken, and she brought them back?!" The elder's divine sense swept over and saw this scene, shocked and stood up.

"Who did this?!"

"What?"

"It's actually true!"

The divine senses of the elders swept over, instantly filled with shock and anger.

At this moment, they couldn't care about their demeanor.

Soon, Xiao Ling'er was surrounded.

But it wasn't by Origin Returning Sect disciples, but by many elders.

The disciples also wanted to surround her, but they didn't have the qualifications.

"Xiao Ling'er."

"Why would our sect disciples act like this?"

An elder frowned and asked, while another elder approached and fed Qin Chuanliu and others medicine to help them heal.

"Differences in opinions led to an agreed battle to determine the winner."

"As you can see, I am the victor," Xiao Ling'er responded calmly, "By bringing them back, I wanted to settle this matter."

"The matter with the Fan family?!"

An elder frowned.

Someone else shouted, "Arrogant! Acting so ruthlessly, and still daring to enter our Origin Returning Sect?!"

"It is indeed about the Fan family. Why wouldn't I dare?" Xiao Ling'er remained fearless and said, "I had a prior agreement with the Fan family. Your second-ranked disciple wanted to interfere, so I reasoned with him. However, he threatened me and said that fists are the only reason and strength is everything."

"As for the battle, I had the right cause!"

"As for being ruthless, both I and your second-ranked disciple went all out, but it was just one strike, not even a second move. How can that be considered ruthless?"

"If I truly acted ruthlessly, would I have brought them back alive?"

"Arrogant!"

The elders were immediately annoyed.

"According to you, our Origin Returning Sect's second-ranked disciple is not your match?!"

"Words alone are not enough."

Xiao Ling'er remained calm, "With the strength of you esteemed seniors, it should be easy to wake them up. Why not ask them yourselves?"

The elders were momentarily speechless.

If Xiao Ling'er defended herself, they would naturally not accept it and would immediately refute her.

But by having them ask their own people, Xiao Ling'er made it difficult for them to make a move.

"..."

"Why have you come here?!"

A female elder asked calmly, furrowing her brows.

"To settle this matter."

Xiao Ling'er spoke, "Both of our sects want to make the Fan family a subordinate force, but according to the order of arrival, my Embracing Moon Sect has the right cause."

"The reason for this battle was proposed by your sect disciples, and I simply responded."

"And their injuries may seem severe, but they haven't affected their foundation. With some rest, they will recover completely."

"I brought them back to settle this matter."

"Now, it depends on your sect's attitude."

Xiao Ling'er made her intentions clear.

If you don't have the right cause.

I fought Qin Chuanliu because he owed it to himself!

What do you want? Just say it openly, don't do any despicable actions in the future, it's disgusting!

This implied meaning was understood by the cunning elders of the Origin Returning Sect.

And at this moment, Qin Chuanliu was awakened. As soon as he opened his eyes, he screamed, "Ah!!!"

"Save me!!!"

The elders: "..."

Embarrassing!

They quickly used their divine sense to calm him down and then asked simple questions. They found that what Xiao Ling'er said was indeed true, causing them to furrow their brows.

In this matter, they were indeed in the wrong.

However, the Immortal Martial Continent was never a place where reason prevailed.

Strength is the only reason!

The strong make the rules!

So what if you have a reason?

A disciple from a third-rate sect has beaten our second-ranked disciple like this. If we don't suppress you, once this matter spreads, what face will our sect have?

But here's the problem.

Damn it, this Xiao Ling'er is the person that Spirit Sword Sect specifically wants to protect.

It can only be Spirit Sword Sect that kills her.

Our Origin Returning Sect is not easy to deal with! If it were an ordinary third-rate sect, we could simply suppress it without much thought. But this Embracing Moon Sect's Xiao Ling'er...

At this moment, the elders are feeling a bit annoyed.

We can't fight her, we can't suppress her. We can't even destroy her sect.

What do you want us to do?!

Should we let the younger disciples teach her a lesson?

That's not possible either.

She scared the second sequence almost to death with just one strike. Even if we call out the first sequence, we will most likely lose, and it will be quite embarrassing.

We have to accept it, but we are still unwilling.

Nothing seems to work. This is a hot potato, very troublesome.

In the end, they all look towards Qin Chuangliu, feeling dissatisfied.

It's all because of this idiot!

You know that Xiao Ling'er is an unparalleled genius. Even Sword Master from the Spirit Sword Sect has been defeated by her twice. Why would you dare to challenge her and fight her one-on-one?

What were you thinking?!

Do you have a brain?

You've made us look bad no matter what we do, it's embarrassing!

As the elders communicate with their spiritual senses, they can feel each other's embarrassment.

They are truly restless.

Especially those elders who were boasting just now, wanting to suppress Xiao Ling'er. They are even more embarrassed and can hardly look Xiao Ling'er in the eye.

What should we do?

Senior brothers and sisters, what do you think?

It's a dilemma!

They communicate quickly through their spiritual senses.

Suppressing her is definitely not appropriate, after all, we are in the wrong in this matter...

Since when did the Immortal Martial Continent start talking about reason?

Especially when our strength is obviously much stronger than hers.

It's absurd!

But it's also not appropriate to let her go like this, right?

Indeed, it's not appropriate. Everyone, think about it, is there a compromise?

This compromise...

Oh? I have a plan!

A senior suddenly has a bright idea: "Everyone, see how Xiao Ling'er is!"

Naturally, she is very beautiful. Why are you asking this?

You idiot, I'm asking if you think she's beautiful? Besides, I'm face-blind, I don't even know if she's beautiful or not.

Upon hearing this, the elders twitch their mouths.

Here we go again.

This pretense, it's truly natural! If it weren't for the fact that your Dao companion is the most beautiful among us, I would believe it!

But then the elder says again, "What I mean is, how talented is she?!"

Her talent is naturally top-notch!

Everyone finally realizes that they should talk about the real matter!

She is the champion of the Alchemy Competition in the Hongwu Immortal City. Her talent in alchemy is also extraordinary!

With a Strange Fire by her side, her future achievements are limitless. If she doesn't die prematurely, she will at least become a grandmaster alchemist.

Her combat power is also extremely strong. She first defeated Sword Master, and then defeated Qin Chuangliu with just one strike. You should know that their cultivation levels are almost a whole realm apart! Her cultivation and combat talents are even more outstanding than her alchemy talent, right?

If their cultivation years were the same, our first sequence would definitely be far inferior to her!

She is truly an unparalleled genius!

She can be called a monster.

In the end, only the words "monster" remain echoing.

There is no need to say the word "envy" out loud.

Indeed, a monster!

But such a monster is bending down to a mere third-rate sect like Embracing Moon Sect. Isn't it a waste of talent?

Moreover, how many resources does Embracing Moon Sect have to cultivate her?!

No matter how talented she is, she still needs resources! As the saying goes, a good bird chooses its tree to nest in. If we can let Xiao Ling'er join our Origin Returning Sect, such a monster would become one of us, wouldn't it?

There would be no need to envy anymore.

If we can do that, today's dilemma would be nothing, and everything would be easily resolved.

Even if we give Embracing Moon Sect to the Fan family, it wouldn't matter. Having Xiao Ling'er, such a genius, is worth more than a thousand Fan families!

As for the threat from the Spirit Sword Sect, our Origin Returning Sect is also a second-rate sect. We have no grievances with Sword Master's mentor. Even if Xiao Ling'er is defeated and killed in the future, I don't think the Spirit Sword Sect would blame us.

What do you senior brothers and sisters think?

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes light up: "Brilliant!"

But, is she willing?

Why wouldn't she be willing? Embracing Moon Sect doesn't have much background, what good things do they have?

Tell her that as long as she agrees to join our Origin Returning Sect, she can freely use our sect's supreme techniques, secret arts, various high-quality pills, and spirit medicine.

Even our sect's secret realm can be opened to her!!!

I don't believe that a young person who comes from a third-rate sect and hasn't seen any good things would not be tempted.
