Chapter 55: Driving the Tiger to Devour the Wolf
"Unfortunately, for people like us, the truth of that year has never been passed down, or rather, we are not qualified to know it."
Lin Fan guessed that the man who escaped here with the last inheritance of Lan Yue Sect was just an ordinary inner disciple in his heyday, so he had no right to know those things about the upper level.
He is not qualified to know, and his descendants naturally have no way of knowing.
"Look carefully and you will find out the reason."
"But this also reminds me that as the Lanyue Sect continues to develop, I have to be careful of my old enemies."
Why didn't they eradicate the problem completely in the first place?
Lin Fan didn’t know.
But he was sure that there would definitely be people who would not sit idly by and watch the rise of the Lanyue Sect. Once they noticed that the Lanyue Sect had signs of revival, they would definitely cause trouble.
"hiss."
"It's a troubled time. It's really troublesome."
"It's really not easy to be the sect leader."
"However, if we find out who is behind this earlier, we can try to find those cheating protagonists and find a way to send them..."
"Never mind. That's still a long way off. The most urgent task is to squeeze more money out of angel investors."
Thinking of this, Lin Fan used his spiritual sense to contact the five elders: "Elders, come to discuss this matter."
······
At the same time, Liu Xun and the other two were speeding in the air.
An elder could not help but say: "Young Patriarch, your promise just now was not in the plan. The formation that can temporarily block the sixth level will cost a lot of energy. Patriarch..."
"snort."
Liu Xun raised his head and snorted coldly: "Uncle Qi, I don't like what you said."
"In our Liu family, I still have the final say on such a small matter."
The two elders: “???”
“···”
Their faces were shaking wildly and the corners of their mouths were twitching constantly.
If you tell this to outsiders, they might believe it.
Can we still be fooled by you?!
It's really unbearable!
But young people are full of youthful vigor, and it is understandable that they care about face and want to show off. After all, everyone was a young person once. At this time, they should not sabotage others.
Anyway, we are not the ones who promised this, so even if the head of the family blames us, it has nothing to do with us~
See what you do!
When they got back to the patriarch, the two elders disappeared in a flash.
Although they really wanted to follow and immediately give some high-quality pills back to their disappointing younger generations, they could not go because of a promise made by Liu Xun.
Went...
At least it's a blame for poor supervision, and I have no choice but to take the blame.
So, endure!
Liu Xun, however, held his head high and chest puffed out all the way, like a general who had won a battle, and acted as if he was invincible to everyone he met.
until···
He went to his father's room and closed the door.
Plop.
Liu Xun knelt down directly, kneeling firmly: "Dad."
Patriarch Liu was stunned for a moment, then frowned deeply: "???"
"What good things have you done?"
No one knows a son better than his father.
He knew better than anyone that if this "great intelligence" came into play, nothing good would happen.
"It's nothing, actually. It's just that the results of the Lanyue Sect exceeded expectations. I'm very happy, but they often face threats. To prevent any accidents, my son took the initiative to say..."
After saying this, Liu Xun looked at his father eagerly: "Dad, you can understand my good intentions, right?"
"Also, although this formation is very valuable, fortunately the Lanyue Sect is very small, with only one sacred mountain. We..."
"That's enough."
"Can't you let me worry less?" Patriarch Liu rubbed his brows.
"Dad, what do you mean..."
"You've agreed, what else can I do?! You have no shame, so don't I have any shame too?"
"Go and get ready."
"Next time when we hand over the elixirs, if it can still exceed expectations, how about setting up a formation for them?"
"I knew you were the best, Dad."
Liu Xun was overjoyed. Isn't this done? !
The show-off was successful!
Although I haven't stood up to speak yet, others don't know!
But the old father's next words made Liu Xun's smile turn into tears.
"The fees will be deducted from your monthly salary. If one month is not enough, then two months will be enough. If one year is not enough, then two years will be enough."
"ah?!"
It's over.
Then how can this young master go to Nuanxiang Tower to take care of the half-naked young lady?
······
"Sect expansion..."
Li Changshou groaned for a moment: "With the current strength of our Lanyue Sect, it is not considered weak among the third-rate sects. It should be at the upper middle level."
"At least in terms of high-end combat capabilities."
"As far as this area is concerned, we are indeed qualified to occupy more sacred mountains."
After all, this is a 'remote and poor place', and there aren't many powerful sects here. If there's an elder from the Profound Realm in charge, isn't that awesome?
"However, if we go to war with others, I'm afraid it won't be that easy."
He looked at Lin Fan and said with a wry smile: "Unless the sect master is willing to relax the sect's ban, otherwise..."
What is the sect ban?
When fighting with someone, you must cut the roots and grind them to dust.
If you want to seize someone else's territory, you have to destroy the entire sect of the other party, and you have to do it in an instant with overwhelming force, right?
He is at least three realms higher than the other person...
My family is currently unable to meet this condition!
"According to the sect leader, it would be too dangerous to make enemies so rashly." Chen Erzhu sighed.
"I know what you are thinking, and I am more worried about the risks than you are."
Lin Fan, however, remained calm.
You make the rules yourself, how could you not know them?
"So, we can't do anything."
"Not taking action?"
"Could it be... to buy? We do have the financial resources to do so now. After all, ordinary sacred mountains are not too expensive."
Duan Qingyao was stunned: "But Article 32 of the sect's prohibitions states that wealth cannot be shown openly."
Lin Fan still shook his head: "We have to outsmart it and drive the tiger to devour the wolf."
"Then sit back and reap the benefits."
The elders were confused by what they heard, but Lin Fan did not explain it right away. Instead, he looked at Su Xinghai cheerfully and said, "Great Elder, I heard you say a few days ago that the Eight Sword Sect, Peach Blossom Sect, and Golden Eagle Sect have formed an alliance?"
"Yes, Master."
Su Xinghai nodded: "I got the news that these three sects had conflicts with us before, and now they know that I have made a breakthrough, so they are quite worried, so they formed an alliance to prevent us from retaliating."
“Oh~”
Lin Fan suddenly realized: "What about the territories of these three sects?"
"There are a total of 27 sacred mountains adjacent to our Lanyue Sect. Among them, there are more than 20 mountains with richer resources than ours."
The Great Elder didn't have so many twists and turns and little thoughts. He just answered whatever Lin Fan asked.
"Twenty-seven."
Lin Fan pondered: "I will try to conquer all the twenty-seven sacred mountains within a month."
"If we form an alliance with them and go to war with them at the same time, we won't have much chance of winning." The Great Elder hesitated.
“So, you have to drive the tiger to devour the wolf.”
Lin Fan lowered his eyebrows and said, "Do you still remember the rainy night a month ago?"
"Find a way to replicate it."
"However, the target has been changed to the Eight Sword Sect and other three sects."
The five elders were suddenly shocked.
Thank you all for your tips and monthly ticket support. I wish you all good luck, happiness, beautiful women around you, and good health.
Also, I would like to say that the update time is 12 noon every day, not 12 midnight. I saw that several friends were still waiting at midnight last night, so I would like to explain this.
