Chapter 55: Divide and Conquer
Chapter 55: Divide and Conquer
"Unfortunately, for people like us, the truth of those times was never passed down."
Lin Fan guessed that the last heir of the Moonseizing Sect who fled here during its heyday was probably just an ordinary inner sect disciple, so he had no right to know about the upper echelons' affairs.
If even he didn't have the right to know, it was natural that the later generations would be even more clueless.
"We'll investigate slowly and eventually understand the reasons."
"However, this also reminds me that as the Moonseizing Sect continues to develop, we must be cautious of our past enemies."
Lin Fan didn't know why they hadn't completely eradicated their enemies back then.
But he was certain that there were people who wouldn't just stand by and watch the Moonseizing Sect rise again. Once they noticed the Moonseizing Sect showing signs of revival and resurgence, they would definitely stir up trouble.
"Hiss."
"A time of trouble, indeed."
"Being the Sect Master is truly not easy."
"However, if we can find out who's behind this sooner, we can try to locate those protagonists who were set up and then find a way to send them..."
"Forget it, these things are still too far away. The most urgent matter is to squeeze more benefits out of the angel investor."
With this thought, Lin Fan scanned with his spiritual sense and contacted the five elders, "Elders, let's gather for a discussion."
...
Meanwhile, Liu Xun and the other two were flying swiftly in the air.
One of the elders couldn't help but speak up, "Young Master, your promise just now wasn't part of the plan. The formation capable of temporarily blocking a Sixth Realm is not cheap to maintain. As for your father..."
"Hmph."
Liu Xun raised his head and coldly snorted, "Uncle Seven, I don't like hearing that from you."
"In our Liu Family, I still have the final say in such minor matters."
The two elders: "???"
"...
Their faces twitched uncontrollably, and their mouths kept twitching.
If you say such words to outsiders, it's understandable.
But to us? It's hard to bear!
However, young people are young and passionate, wanting to show off is also understandable. After all, everyone has been young once, so it's best not to spoil their plans.
Anyway, we didn't make the promise, so even if the Family Head blames us, it has nothing to do with us~
Let's see how you handle it!
When they returned to the Family Head, the two elders immediately disappeared without a trace.
Although they wanted to follow and immediately distribute some high-quality pills to bring back to their unmotivated juniors, they couldn't go because of Liu Xun's promise.
If they went...
At the very least, they would be blamed for not keeping an eye on things.
So, they endured!
Liu Xun, on the other hand, walked with his head held high and his chest puffed out, like a victorious general returning from battle, acting arrogantly towards everyone he met.
Until...
He arrived at his father's place and closed the door.
Plop.
Liu Xun knelt down directly, steady as a rock: "Father."
The Liu Family Head was taken aback, and then his eyebrows furrowed deeply, "???"
"What good deed have you done now?"
A father knows his son best.
He knew better than anyone that whenever this 'clever' son of his did something, it was never good.
"Actually, it's not a big deal. The results from the Moonseizing Sect exceeded our expectations, and I was very happy. But they often face threats, so to prevent this, I took the initiative and said..."
After speaking, Liu Xun looked at his father with pleading eyes, "Father, you understand my good intentions, right?"
"Moreover, although this formation is not cheap, fortunately, the Moonseizing Sect is very small, with only one Spirit Mountain..."
"Enough."
"Can't you let me worry less?" The Liu Family Head rubbed his forehead.
"What do you mean, Father?"
"How can I stop you now?! If you have no shame, should I, as your father, also have no shame?"
"Go and prepare."
"Next time we hand over the pills, if the results still exceed expectations, it will be like setting up a formation for them."
"I knew it, Father. You're the best!"
Liu Xun was overjoyed. So, it's done!
A successful show of strength!
Although I haven't stood up and spoken yet, others don't know!
But the next words from his father turned Liu Xun's smile into a cry of despair.
"The cost will be deducted from your monthly allowance. If one month isn't enough, then two months. If a year isn't enough, then two years."
"Ah?!"
Damn it.
How can the young family head still afford to take care of the young ladies at Nuangxiang Tower who can't even afford proper clothing?
...
"Expanding the sect..."
Longevity Li pondered, "With the current strength of our Moonseizing Sect, we're no longer weak among Tier Three sects, and we're considered above average."
"At least in terms of high-end combat power, that's true."
"Indeed, we have the qualifications to occupy more Spirit Mountains at present."
After all, this place is a remote and impoverished area, and it's hard to find a powerful sect here. Having an Elder of the Finger Profound Realm stationed here would be incredibly impressive.
"However, if we go to war, it won't be that easy."
He looked at Lin Fan and smiled bitterly, "Unless the Sect Master is willing to relax the sect ordinances, otherwise..."
What are the sect ordinances?
When engaging with others, one must eliminate them completely, leaving no trace.
If we want to seize their territory, we have to annihilate their entire sect, and it must be done swiftly and decisively, right? Moreover, we need to have at least three higher cultivation realms than them... We currently can't meet this condition!
Chen Erzhu sighed lightly, "According to the Sect Master's intentions, it's too risky to make enemies so rashly."
"I understand your concerns, and I'm even more worried about the risks involved."
But Lin Fan's expression remained unchanged.
The rules were set by him, how could he not know them?
"So, we can't take action."
"Not take action?"
"Unless... we buy? We do have the financial resources now, after all, ordinary Spirit Mountains aren't too expensive."
Duan Qingyao was taken aback, "But the thirty-second sect ordinance states that wealth should not be flaunted."
Lin Fan still shook his head, "We must use our wits and employ the strategy of divide and conquer."
"Then we'll reap the benefits afterward."
The elders were confused, but Lin Fan didn't immediately explain. Instead, he turned to Elder Su with a smile, "Elder Su, didn't you mention a few days ago that the Eight Swords Sect, the Peach Blossom Sect, and the Golden Eagle Sect have formed an alliance?"
"Yes, Sect Master."
Elder Su nodded, "I received news that these three sects had conflicts with us in the past, and now that they know of your breakthrough, they're worried. So, they formed an alliance to prevent us from seeking revenge."
"Oh~"
Lin Fan understood, "Then what about the territories of these three sects?"
"They're adjacent to our Moonseizing Sect, and together, these three sects have twenty-seven Spirit Mountains, with resources exceeding twenty of ours."
Elder Su was straightforward and didn't beat around the bush. He answered whatever Lin Fan asked.
"Twenty-seven."
Lin Fan pondered, "We'll strive to take over all twenty-seven Spirit Mountains within a month."
"If we go to war with them while they're in an alliance, our chances of victory are slim." Elder Su hesitated.
"That's why we must employ the strategy of divide and conquer."
Lin Fan lowered his gaze, "Do you remember the rainy night a month ago?"
"We'll find a way to replicate it."
"But this time, the targets will be the Eight Swords Sect and the other two sects."
The five elders were startled.
Thank you all for your support and monthly votes. May good fortune accompany you.
Also, just a reminder, the update time is at noon every day, not midnight. I noticed that several readers were still waiting at midnight yesterday, so I wanted to clarify.
