Chapter 60: You're Pushing Me into a Trap!
"Of course."
"As allies, Lord Lin, you have consistently brought me pleasant surprises. How could I possibly disappoint you?"
Liu Xun patted his chest and said, "Just wait a moment. We'll start right away. It won't take more than an hour to set up the array formation. All other matters can be discussed after we succeed."
Initially, he was still feeling the pain of his impulsive decision and the price he had to pay for it.
But at this moment, he was incredibly excited.
An Eighth Stage Cavern Heaven Pill!
Once he brought it back, wouldn't he receive a substantial reward?
After all, Dad still loved him.
A mere monthly allowance... it's nothing!
"Hiss!"
Seeing Liu Xun and the other two turn to descend the mountain to set up the formation, Lin Fan couldn't help but gasp in admiration, exclaiming, "Brother Liu, you truly live up to your reputation as the Young Master of the Liu Family. The two elders are also incredibly powerful!"
"A formation that can cover twenty-five Spirit Mountains and temporarily block a Sixth Stage cultivator, yet it only takes a mere hour?"
"Impressive!"
"Extremely impressive!"
Nonsense!
Isn't it natural for the Young Master to be exceptional?
Flattered, Liu Xun was still in a state of excitement when he suddenly realized, "Hmm? Brother Lin, what... what did you say? Twenty-five Spirit Mountains?"
It was at this moment.
One of the elders took out a Communication Jade Slip, and after a brief moment, his face twitched, and he spoke in a low voice, "The latest news."
"The Eight Swords Sect, Golden Eagle Sect, and Peach Blossom Sect were raided at night, and all three sects were destroyed. Most of their territories fell into the hands of the Moonseizing Sect and... the Liu Family."
Liu Xun was stunned, "Such a thing has happened?!"
"Why didn't I know about this?"
Damn it!!!
You're pushing me into a trap! Liu Xun was left speechless.
The Seventh Elder of the Liu Family frowned slightly and looked at Lin Fan, "Lord Lin, although we have already formed an alliance, this matter involves my Liu Family. It might not be appropriate to involve the Liu Family in this manner?"
"Your words are incorrect!"
Anticipating their concerns, Lin Fan had already prepared his response and spoke with righteousness, "As the saying goes, 'One's glory is shared by all, and one's loss is shared by all.'"
"Now that both sides have formed an alliance and agreed to mutual aid, why bother with these minor details?"
"You've seen the capabilities of the Moonseizing Sect. Even with just a single mountain and limited resources, we can still refine such high-quality pills. If we had more resources, a better environment, and more abundant spiritual energy..."
"We could significantly enhance the strength of the Moonseizing Sect!"
"With increased strength, all aspects of our capabilities will improve."
"Forgive my frankness."
Lin Fan lowered his voice, "The basis of cooperation between the Liu Family and the Moonseizing Sect is built upon pills."
"Now, the Moonseizing Sect is merely borrowing the reputation of the Liu Family, and it hasn't caused any losses to the Liu Family. On the contrary, after some time, our Moonseizing Sect will be able to produce even higher-grade pills..."
"This is also a good thing for the Liu Family, isn't it?"
The Seventh Elder was speechless.
Your words are logical and make sense at first glance.
He acknowledged that the Moonseizing Sect had indeed brought two pleasant surprises to the Liu Family. But could one Spirit Mountain compare to twenty-five? In his opinion, borrowing the reputation of the Liu Family wasn't an issue. In fact, even without the Liu Family's flag, if others dared to cause trouble, the Liu Family would still stand up for them.
Even if they didn't take direct action, they would at least voice their opposition.
So, displaying the flag wasn't the issue.
However, your intention is clearly to have us expand the array's range by over a hundredfold!!!
Although it seems to have changed from one Spirit Mountain to twenty-five, the mountains vary in size, and they can't be right next to each other, can they?
In the middle, there are various terrains such as plains, valleys, and basins, right?
Currently, the entire area where the twenty-five Spirit Mountains are located, along with their surrounding regions, has become the territory of Moonseizing Sect. If they were to set up a Sect Protection Array to cover all of it, even increasing the range a hundredfold would still be an understatement.
It could very well be several hundred times more!
The investment required would be enormous!
Liu Xun gradually came to his senses, his face turning green.
His initial excitement instantly dissipated.
He could withstand an array covering a single mountain base, but to protect twenty-five Spirit Mountains with a Sect Protection Array...
Damn!
How many years' worth of monthly allowance would it take to fill such a huge hole?
"Ah, this..."
Liu Xun's lips twitched, "Cough, Brother Lin, I've just received the news, and before this, I wasn't aware that you had already taken over most of the three sects."
"This array, at this moment, is probably impossible to set up."
"I'll have to go back and get some materials and array foundations, then reconsider..."
"So that's the case? It's reasonable and understandable!" Lin Fan nodded. "However, Moonseizing Sect is currently in a precarious situation, facing numerous challenges. With all five elders away from the sect, it's too dangerous!"
"How about..."
"You three can split into two groups. One group can return to gather the necessary materials, and the other two can start setting up the array immediately."
The three Liu Xun's eyebrows furrowed instantly.
You're pushing us into a corner, aren't you?
Seeing their lack of response, Lin Fan was rather surprised. "Could it be that there's something you're hesitant to say?"
"Or... do you actually not know how to do it? Or perhaps you never intended to set up the array for Moonseizing Sect?"
"But it's fine. Even if you only..."
This is outrageous!
If it weren't for the fact that they weren't modern people, they would have surely exclaimed, "Are you a green tea btch or something?"
This is no longer just pushing them into a corner.
It's a must!
At this very moment, even the two elders, with their vast experience and composure, felt embarrassed. How could Liu Xun, with his youthful arrogance and vanity, not feel the same?
"Brother Lin, why do you say such things? Has my Liu Family ever broken a promise?"
"I was just considering the amount of materials needed, and what you said makes sense. Indeed, Moonseizing Sect is currently facing many crises."
"Elder, prepare yourselves. I'll bring the materials and return, and then we'll set up the array together!"
The two elders' eyes widened in surprise.
Wow, you're serious?
For an array of this scale, capable of briefly withstanding a Sixth Stage powerhouse, how many valuable resources would it consume? Could you possibly bring out that many?
But at this moment, they couldn't back down.
Therefore, they had no choice but to nod in agreement.
After all, even if Liu Xun doesn't show up later, it won't be our brothers' problem. We won't be the ones losing face.
...
"Father."
Liu Xun knelt down, his knees steady.
The Head of Liu Family's eyes widened in surprise. "What is it? It's not a big deal, right? Strictly speaking, it's good news. It's just that..."
"Speak clearly!"
"It's like this..."
"Oh?"
The Head of the Liu Family listened intently. "As expected, this old man's judgment was not wrong!"
