Chapter 112: Relying on the Moonlit Sect, Crisis Approaches, Lin Fan Takes Action (Part 2)

Could he really trust this son with the Liu family when he became old or was about to pass away? If he did hand it over to him...

After all these years of hard work, the Liu family had reached its strongest state in history. If he really left it to his son... it might not last more than a few years.

"..."

Liu Wanli stared at Liu Xun, suddenly feeling the urge to change the heir.

But then he thought, he had no other choice but to pass it on to him.

"Fortunately, he listens to my words and takes my advice."

"If it's truly impossible, I'll prepare more 'ingenious strategies' for him, clearly writing down the solutions to various matters. Then, he can just follow the instructions."

"As long as he listens to advice and behaves, there shouldn't be any problems."

With this thought, Liu Wanli sighed, "Summon the elders for a meeting!"

Liu Xun hurried away.

Soon, the Liu family's high-ranking members gathered.

Liu Wanli sipped his spirit tea and said, "You all know why I've called you here, right?"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Good. I'll get straight to the point."

Setting down his teacup, Liu Wanli's brows furrowed, and his eyes flashed with determination. "Those two families have surely discovered the clues!"

Liu Xun: "Huh?"

"What clues?"

Liu Wanli: "..."

"Shut your mouth!"

His brows twitched in annoyance.

Damn it! This is so frustrating!

It's ruining the atmosphere!

Liu Xun reluctantly closed his mouth, feeling helpless.

When I was young, didn't you teach me to ask questions when I didn't understand? Now, when you don't understand, you ask me, and then you scold me? He felt a bit wronged but didn't dare speak up.

Seeing this, Liu Wanli took a deep breath and continued, "Our three families have been in conflict for tens of thousands of years, maintaining a relatively balanced power dynamic."

"But recently, our Liu family's strength has rapidly increased."

"The ones who understand us the most are often our enemies."

"They must have noticed this and started investigating the reasons. If my analysis is correct, they've realized that the root cause of all this is the continuous supply of high-quality pills we've been receiving!"

"Moreover, they've also found out that these high-quality pills come from Linyue Sect, specifically from Lin Fan."

"Otherwise, they could have directly attacked our Liu family."

"If those two families join forces, our Liu family, with its current strength, wouldn't stand a chance against them."

"After all, our rapid progress is relatively recent. Although our power has 'soared,' it's still not enough to rewrite the balance of power."

"Therefore, there's no need to provoke them."

"The reason they've allied with the Moonlit Sect is simple: to use the Moonlit Sect's might to balance the Spirit Sword Sect!"

"This way, they can focus on annihilating the Linyue Sect."

"By then..."

"They plan to wipe out all of us!"

Hearing this, Liu Xun was stunned.

What? How is this possible?

To analyze so many details from the Chen and Jiang families' alliance with the Moonlit Sect and conclude that the Linyue Sect is the root cause, without the need for further verification, is indeed impressive.

But what if it's wrong?

Most importantly, why can't I analyze it like this? Am I really that 'dull'? But most of the time, I'm quite clever!

What made him feel even worse was that after Liu Wanli's analysis, all the elders nodded in agreement, and not a single person stood up to refute or question him.

Is it just me who's this stupid? But he didn't know that these elders and high-ranking members had been working with Liu Wanli for hundreds, even thousands of years.

They had experienced countless storms together.

Yet, every time, Liu Wanli could find the 'correct answer' from numerous pieces of intelligence and lead them through crises, turning danger into safety.

His trustworthiness was beyond question.

How could they doubt him?

"Family Head."

Liu Erge, who had already reached the Sixth Level of the Sixth Stage, took a deep breath. "How should we proceed? Give us your command."

"When it comes to intelligence, I can't match you."

"But when it comes to taking action, I, Liu Bai, have never been afraid."

"Good."

Liu Wanli nodded. "Let's join hands once again to overcome this crisis!"

"Actually, I already have a plan in mind."

"But this is just my personal idea. This matter involves the Linyue Sect, and the Linyue Sect is also in danger because of us. We must inform them and consider their opinions."

"Liu Xun, go and inform them of this matter. Ask your Uncle Lin for his opinion, and then we'll make a decision."

"Huh?"

Liu Xun's eyes widened.

"What do you want me to do? Are you mute?" Liu Wanli was infuriated.

Liu Xun helplessly replied, "You told me not to speak."

"Now you can speak!"

"Then... I was thinking, Uncle Lin is the head of the Linyue Sect, and you, Family Head, are of the same generation. So, I call him 'Uncle' out of respect."

Liu Wanli's eyes twitched. "He's the head of the Linyue Sect, and you're the head of the Liu family. Logically, you should be of the same generation. Why do you call him 'Uncle'?!"

Liu Xun felt helpless. "It's difficult, isn't it?"

"It's not easy to have a brother, and you want me to call him 'Uncle'?"

"At your age, do you feel comfortable being of the same generation as him?"

"Always reflect on yourself first."

"After all these years, have you not diligently cultivated and improved your cultivation stage? If you were a powerful cultivator, would you need to be of the same generation as him?"

"I..."

"Get out!"

Liu Wanli lost his temper.

Liu Xun immediately retreated, shrinking his neck.

...

Linyue Sect.

Upon Liu Xun's arrival, Lin Fan was unperturbed.

"Big news!"

Liu Xun spoke excitedly, his words flowing like a river. His analysis was spot-on.

Of course, he was just repeating his father's analysis.

After speaking, he stared at Lin Fan, expecting to see admiration or surprise on his face.

Huh?

??

You’re being...

Not even a bit of shock, not even a change in expression, leaving me quite anxious!

He was stunned: "Good brother, why aren't you shocked?"

"Why be shocked?"

Lin Fan spread his hands: "I already know it."

"How did you know?" Liu Xun was shocked.

"You already knew it, so why can't I know it?"

"Moreover, didn't you figure it out as well?"

Liu Xun was speechless: "Ah, it is as it is, it can be analyzed."

He had a flushed face.

Fortunately, his skin was thick, so it wasn't red.

"Cough."

"I came here because my father has a plan~"

"His idea is, since he can't be content with himself, he will take a bold step! He will also find a powerful first-rate sect and become their subordinate force."

"Thus, there will be no fear of the Moonlit sect."

"At that time, please invite several great powers from other sects to assist, and with the combined strength of both sides, we can surely turn danger into safety..."

"Not bad."

Lin Fan nodded.

Liu Xun was delighted: "Brother Lin, you agree?"

"No."

Lin Fan shook his head again.

"? "Liu Xun was puzzled.

"My point is, doing this indeed has a high probability of turning danger into safety, especially for your Liu Family, there will basically be no unexpected events."

"But for our Moonseizing Sect, it's difficult."

Lin Fan saw through it clearly.

The Scarlet Cloak Guard has already gradually begun to penetrate the southwestern region.

Although many 'secrets' need not be overthought at the moment, the Moonlit Sect has already announced to all. If we still can't get the news first, the Scarletcloakguard wouldn't have a purpose.

As for 'analysis'~

Lin Fan was originally adept at thinking, so naturally analyzing things up to eight or nine out of ten.

"Your Liu Family is strong and situated within Hongwu Immortal City, wanting to destroy you in a short time is unrealistic, unless you move everyone outside the city and fight to the last man."

Lin Fan sighed lightly: "After all, the Hongwu City Lord has already restated the ban, hasn't he?"

"Therefore, in this battle, their main target is bound to be the Moonseizing Sect."

"The Moonseizing Sect is the 'root.' Once the root is cut, your Liu Family's progress is limited, and they will have nothing to fear, having time to slowly grind against you."

"But our Moonseizing Sect, we can't become a subordinate of other sects, can we?"

"And if the pill matter leaks out..."

"It would be very troublesome."

He knew this day would come sooner or later.

But...

Currently, this day has come too soon, too early.

The Moonseizing Sect still lacks the strength to protect itself.

However~

There is still a way to solve it.

And, if my prediction is correct, this would be the 'small calamity' of this year?

"Indeed."

Liu Xun also reacted, his brows slightly furrowed: "Our Liu Family isn't that easy to take down, but Brother Lin, do you have any thoughts?"

"Indeed, I have some thoughts."

"Since they want to fight, then let's fight."

Lin Fan smiled helplessly: "What else can be done?"

"The two great families, your Liu Family, should all be quite familiar, shouldn't they?"

"That's right."

Liu Xun nodded confidently: "All the details, they know even more than we do!"

"That's good."

Lin Fan changed the subject: "Then, how many Seventh Stage Great Powers do they each have?"

"On the surface, three each."

Liu Xun pondered: "Based on our Liu Family's analysis, the possibility of a fourth Great Power is low among the three families."

"But we can't rule out the 'half-dead' people who have only the strength to fight one more battle."

"Therefore, if they fight to the death, we can't rule out the possibility that each family has four to five Seventh Stage Great Powers."

"Close to what I expected."

Lin Fan nodded slightly: "Then, on this basis, your Liu Family intercepting one, or even one and a half families, should have no problem, right?"

"One is definitely no problem!"

"Our Sixth Stage and below clan members have all improved significantly, so there should be no problem."

"Blocking one and a half is also not impossible."

"But in terms of Great Powers, the three families are not much different in strength. This is the foundation, if the difference was too great, the outcome would have already been decided, and we wouldn't be here now."

"Therefore..."

"Perhaps it's a bit difficult." Liu Xun smiled bitterly, somewhat hesitant to respond.

One definitely has no problem.

One and a half?

That might mean two more Great Powers showing up. How can they be blocked?

"Then..."

"Add this?"

Lin Fan took out a jade bottle and handed it to him.

Liu Xun was stunned.

He was too familiar with this type of jade bottle; it mostly contained pills.

But, could one bottle of pills allow blocking two more Seventh Stage Great Powers?

It seemed unlikely.

But when he opened it and his eyes widened: "So, such a rich medicinal fragrance, and this medicinal power, just a sip, and I feel the Primordial spirit energy surging within me? What?!"

"Seventh Rank Harmony Pill?!"

He was greatly shocked.

Seventh Rank pill!

And it's Seventh Rank?!!

"Indeed."

He was stunned.

"How?"

Lin Fan asked.

Liu Xun gradually calmed down, looking deeply at Lin Fan before saying: "It can increase the odds, but... still, I can't guarantee it."

"Still, although we don't know when they will make a move, it won't be too long, and we should prepare as soon as possible, the sooner the better."

"To avoid delays."

"This pill is astonishing, but without enough time, the improvement is limited..."

"True."

Lin Fan smiled lightly, then took out another jade bottle: "This, plus this, is enough?"

"!!"

"Seventh Rank healing pills can quickly restore the injuries of Seventh Stage Great Powers, allowing for prolonged combat..."

"And it's also Seventh Rank?"

"What?!"

"A hundred pills?!"

What does this mean?

As long as it wasn't a severe injury, one pill was enough to make one feel rejuvenated. Even in the case of severe injuries, one could recover seventy to eighty percent in a short time!

"That's enough!"

Liu Xun finally stood his ground, "This, plus this!"

"Before these pills are consumed, our clan's ancestor will definitely be able to hold off a Great Power from one and a half families!"

"But, what about the remaining 'half a family'? What about the other two, or even three Great Powers? What should we do then?"

"The rest will be taken care of by our Moon-Seizing Sect."

"Your Liu Family only needs to handle the strong cultivators and Great Powers from that one and a half families." Lin Fan responded nonchalantly.

"But...?"

"There's no 'but'. Trust me, brother."

Liu Xun's eyes smiled, and he couldn't help but agree.

"It's just that if the Moonlit Sect takes action..."

"The Moonlit Sect won't make a move." Lin Fan was certain.

Liu Xun: "..."

Here it comes again, such certainty! My father is like this, and so are you.

The way you two are, it makes me look like a fool!

"Brother Lin, why are you so sure?"

"If the Moonlit Sect wanted to take action, they would have done so already. After all, our Moon-Seizing Sect has old grudges with them. If they wanted to destroy us, they wouldn't have waited until now."

"Although I don't know why they didn't eradicate us completely, there must be a reason. This reason restricts them, so they won't take action personally."

Lin Fan was as certain as ever, unwavering in his belief.

However, he wasn't entirely sure either.

He just felt that there was an eighty to ninety percent chance that the Moonlit Sect wouldn't take action personally.

But there was still that one or two percent certainty, and it was the Spirit Sword Sect that gave it to him.

Obviously, the two great families were the crisis this year. This year's crisis could almost certainly be expected to erupt on 'that day', and on that day, the people from the Spirit Sword Sect would also arrive.

Even if they weren't as powerful as the Moonlit Sect, the Spirit Sword Sect wouldn't just stand by and watch the Moonlit Sect take action. Otherwise, what face would they have?

The two sects were very likely to clash fiercely over this 'minor issue'.

Therefore, the final outcome was likely to be verbal sparring, and neither side would take action.

However, there was another possibility.

That is... the Moonlit Sect would turn their attention to the Liu Family.

If that were the case, it would be quite troublesome.

But if it came to that, the Moon-Seizing Sect wouldn't just sit idly by.

After all, although the Moon-Seizing Sect's high-end combat power was insufficient, they still had two Seventh Stage experts. Even if they didn't want to fight to the death, they could still hold off an attack for a while.

If worse came to worst, they could even bring Lu Ming back to join the battle!

And there was still some left.

If it really came down to a critical moment, he wouldn't just stand by and do nothing. He would have to take action.

"Hmm."

Liu Xun was stunned.

In truth, he didn't quite understand.

But he couldn't just say that, could he? It would make him look really stupid.

So, he could only pretend to understand and say, "I understand, but I can't make this decision alone. I'll have to go back and inform my father, and I'll give you a reply later, okay?"

"Okay."

Lin Fan smiled and nodded.

Liu Xun left.

Soon after, the Liu Family was in an uproar.

The high-ranking members of the family widened their eyes in astonishment, exclaiming that it was heaven-defying.

"Xiao Ling'er... Invincible!"

"This move was perfect!"

Liu Xun was also amazed, thinking back to his initial thoughts. He had even considered making amends with the Liu Family, following his father's advice!

But Xiao Ling'er was just too heaven-defying.

The elders' exclamations continued in his ears: "What do you mean, saying this move was perfect? Every move our head of the family makes is perfect..."

"I didn't mean it like that. I'm saying this move was just too perfect..."

"Alright, no more of this." Liu Wanli smiled slightly: "Lin Zongzhu and Xiao Ling'er are both beyond our imagination. Since he has made this arrangement, there must be a reason. We'll cooperate."

"Not becoming an affiliated force is, of course, the best outcome. But in this battle, everyone..."

"Please ask the ancestors to come out of seclusion. We believe in them."

"For the sake of our head of the family, we'll die a thousand times without regret!"

"As long as the Moon-Seizing Sect isn't destroyed, as long as Xiao Ling'er is still alive, as long as our Liu Family still has people, even if we all die, we need not worry about the future of our family!"

"Hmm, go and inform the ancestors. We believe in them."

"..."

The Liu Family agreed to his arrangement.

But Lin Fan, after much thought, still felt it wasn't quite right, or rather, not stable enough.

He should put all his resources into action.

"It's time for the Great Emperor's aura to make its move."

He took a deep breath.

"Speaking of which, this person can be considered a half-protagonist, always losing but never dying. As long as the true protagonist doesn't kill him..."

"So, letting him go out and fight is actually the best choice."

"Just run into the protagonist template and run away."

"Yes, that's right."

"Give him the sect rules, teach him the Thousand Transformations Technique, and then let him go out and fight the Chen and Jiang Families."

"If he can win, he wins. If he can't, he runs."

"Anyway, even if he loses, he won't die. Who knows, he might even obtain the Chaos Ancient Emperor's inheritance through a fortuitous encounter? Cough, cough..."

"With the sect rules in hand, he'll have nothing to fear, even if he runs into the protagonist."

"Moreover, his Artificial Sun Fist is already usable, and gaining some combat experience is a good thing."

"So, it's decided happily~!"
