Starting As A Sect Leader: My Rules Are Bit Wild.

Chapter 42 - Murderous Intent in the Rainy Night



“Phew…”

“Tired.”

Down the mountain, Fan Jianqiang wiped the sweat from his forehead, then looked towards the Embracing Moon Sect in the distance.

“The restrictions haven’t been triggered, and the scarecrow avatar hasn’t been targeted. They’re actually so trusting of me?”

He was somewhat surprised. “The Second Elder should already suspect me, yet he’s still so at ease?”

Although he wasn’t afraid even if he was being watched, as he had ways to mislead them, the feeling of being trusted right after joining still made Fan Jianqiang feel extremely comfortable.

“It seems the Embracing Moon Sect isn’t bad.”

“It’s indeed a bit weak, but it’s not impossible to become stronger.”

“With this kind of atmosphere, why worry about not achieving great things?”

“If I had known the Embracing Moon Sect was like this, even without the Sect Master’s words…”

With a slight smile, Fan Jianqiang let the cool breeze blow over him and muttered, “Thinking too much, thinking too much.”

“It’s only just begun.”

“If a powerful enemy invades, this place will surely be destroyed!”

“No, I have to continue!”

Then, he continued to busy himself tirelessly.

Hongwu Immortal City, the Liu family.

Liu Xun was dejected, as if he had lost his parents.

“How could you lose them?”

The Liu family head frowned deeply. “A mere Embracing Moon Sect, with the strongest being only at the ninth level of the Cave Heaven Realm! Losing them is one thing, but you even lost your storage bag?”

Liu Xun shrank his neck. “Father…”

“Call me Family Head!”

“Family Head, I, I… was careless.”

He was too embarrassed to say that his cleverness had backfired.

“Don’t worry, my injuries have fully recovered. I’ll go to the Embracing Moon Sect and bring them back.”

“As for the storage bag, in my opinion, it’s definitely not the Embracing Moon Sect’s doing, and there are no clues. It’s probably difficult to find it again.”

The Family Head glared at him. “You still have the nerve to say that?!”

“You can go, but don’t be careless!”

“Moreover, it might not be the Embracing Moon Sect’s doing!”

“Father… Family Head, what do you mean?”

“The Embracing Moon Sect was once a first-rate sect. Although it’s now in decline, no one knows if they have any hidden strength. Therefore, we can’t be careless.”

“Is there really a need for that?”

“Hmph, foolish!” The Family Head was disappointed and angry. “What do we rely on to establish ourselves in Hongwu Immortal City?!”

“Luck?”

“Luck is one of them! But more importantly, it’s caution!”

“It’s brains!”

“Without using your brain, you can only work at noon.”

“Why?”

“Because you’ll die sooner or later!”

Looking at his confused son, the Liu Family Head was even more exasperated. “Take two elders with you for support.”

Seeing Liu Xun trying to slip away, he added, “Wait!”

“After you arrive, don’t rush to attack.”

“Even if few people are paying attention to Fan Jianqiang, and few know that he was taken away by the Embracing Moon Sect, don’t forget that Xiao Ling’er is the champion of the Pill Refining Assembly. Many people are paying attention to her, and she happens to be from the Embracing Moon Sect!”

“If Xiao Ling’er was kidnapped, that would be one thing, but she’s been missing for the past few days, probably having left using some unknown method. Many people will likely be targeting the Embracing Moon Sect at this time!”

“And the Embracing Moon Sect is so dilapidated, it’s already on the verge of collapse.”

“Many people will definitely take action. Therefore, you should observe for now and probe the Embracing Moon Sect’s strength!”

“If the Embracing Moon Sect is destroyed, you can then come forward, which can be seen as doing a good deed, leaving a good impression on Xiao Ling’er and Fan Jianqiang, so that they will be willing to return.”

“On the other hand, if the others who take action are destroyed, and the Embracing Moon Sect survives…”

The Family Head paced back and forth, his hands behind his back.

After a moment, he said, “Then befriend them, don’t make enemies!”

“Ah?!”

“Family Head, is there really a need to be so cautious?! Isn’t this making a mountain out of a molehill?” Liu Xun felt this was completely unnecessary and too troublesome!

Upon hearing this, the Liu Family Head’s head throbbed!

He even suspected: Is this really my son?!

He was too lazy to explain further. “Do as I say!”

“If the Embracing Moon Sect has the advantage, then you should directly help them and kill the other villains, and then befriend the Embracing Moon Sect. It would be best if you could cooperate with them and have priority in purchasing their high-quality pills.”

“I will have the two elders watch you.”

“If you mess around, I’ll skin you alive!”

The Family Head realized that his eldest son was just like an ox. He had to be whipped constantly, otherwise he would definitely act foolishly.

He couldn’t explain it clearly?

Then he wouldn’t explain it. It was tiring!

He would just make a strong demand.

Several days later.

A heavy rainstorm descended, accompanied by rolling thunder.

Lin Fan finished his cultivation. Profound Origin Qi permeated the air. Even standing in the heavy rain, his clothes didn’t get wet.

Looking at the layers of dark clouds pressing down, Lin Fan was moved. “Dark clouds press down on the city, threatening to destroy it…”

“Calculating the time, they should be coming.”

braving the storm, Lin Fan saw Fan Jianqiang running up the mountain.

These days, Fan Jianqiang went down the mountain every morning and returned with the moon.

Today was the only exception.

In terms of cultivation, Xiao Ling’er had made further progress, already at the eighth level of the condensing Yuan Realm.

Fan Jianqiang…

Was still at the first level of the Condensing Yuan Realm.

At least on the surface.

Lin Fan had also advanced further, not far from the third level of the Profound Origin Realm, becoming even more powerful.

“The preparations that should be made have all been made.”

“Whether this calamity can be overcome depends on human effort and fate.”

Then, Lin Fan sent a message that the five elders should not go out recently and should stay at the mountain gate.

The sect’s protective formation was activated all day!

Night.

A group of people loomed in the darkness, looking at the Embracing Moon Sect’s mountain gate from afar.

“The Embracing Moon Sect, once a top first-rate sect, only one step away from becoming an immortal holy land, but now, it’s nothing more than this! Xiao Ling’er’s talent is something they cannot possess.”

“Are the preparations complete?”

“Everything is ready.”

“Since it’s ready, then prepare to attack.”

The leader stood proudly, completely disregarding the Embracing Moon Sect.

“However… it seems others also have designs on them.”

“We can sense the aura of many people, and some haven’t even concealed themselves, seeming extremely confident. If we attack first, I’m afraid…”

“What is there to fear?”

The leader said he wasn’t afraid, but…

He didn’t give the order to attack.

His subordinates secretly complained but also breathed a sigh of relief.

If they were the first to rush over, even if they instantly killed everyone in the Embracing Moon Sect and kidnapped Xiao Ling’er, they would definitely not survive.

“Huh? Someone else is coming!”

A cultivator who was good at sensing was surprised and uncertain. “This aura… a demon race?!”

“Why is the demon race also interested?”

“After all, she’s the champion of the Pill Refining Assembly. The demon race can also take pills! Or perhaps, they’re not interested in Xiao Ling’er, but want to curry favor with someone else.”

“Don’t forget, the Third Divine Son of the Feather Clan lost face at the Pill Refining Assembly.”

“If it doesn’t take action, it should know that other demons will naturally do so to please it…”

Boom!

Another thunderclap exploded.

Finally, someone couldn’t sit still anymore, turning into a streak of black light and rushing towards the Embracing Moon Sect’s mountain gate through the rainy night.
