Chapter 61: Going All-In
Chapter 61: Going All-In
"Of course, your insight surpasses that of the gods, so there's no way you could be wrong." Liu Xun quickly praised.
"Stop flattering me!"
"But..."
He knew his son too well.
Every time this guy knelt, it was never for anything good.
At this moment, he couldn't help but feel a bit worried.
The significance of this good news was indeed substantial! Logically, even if something went wrong, it would still be enough to offset any mistakes.
But now, this kid was still kneeling steadily before him, which clearly indicated that the problem was severe!!!
"But..."
Liu Xun cleared his throat, "You should already know that the Moonseizing Sect currently possesses twenty-five Spirit Mountains, right?"
"Of course!"
"The mysterious disappearance of the three sects and the so-called Finger Profound Pill, according to rumors, are all baseless, but the exact situation is still unclear. The perpetrators are mostly those desperate outlaws, leaving little trace behind, making it difficult to identify them."
"But what does this have to do with the Moonseizing Sect?"
The head of the Liu family was perplexed.
It couldn't be that the Moonseizing Sect was behind this, could it? They didn't have the strength to wipe out three sects overnight.
"Dad, I don't know if this matter is related to the Moonseizing Sect, but previously, we agreed to help them set up the Sect Protection Array. Now, the Moonseizing Sect's Spirit Mountains have surged to twenty-five, and their territory has increased by more than a hundredfold..."
The head of the Liu family took a sharp breath.
"You... agreed?"
"Mhm."
Liu Xun lowered his head, already prepared for the scolding and the dog's blood that would be splashed on him.
But the old man's angry curses and spittle didn't come as expected. He quietly lifted his head and saw his father pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back, clearly deep in thought.
After a long while, he stopped pacing and whispered, "Since you've agreed, you must keep your word. Take the materials and some people with you, and quickly set up the array for them."
"Dad?"
Liu Xun was shocked, "You... agreed?"
What surprised him even more was that he didn't get scolded? This would mean taking away nearly a tenth of the materials from the Liu family's treasury! And it would also consume a large amount of Yuan Stones!
"Since you've already agreed, how can I refuse? Do you want to lose face for the Liu family?"
The head of the Liu family let out a cold huff, "Besides, you should know when to let go and when to hold on."
"Do you know why there's a Ninth Rank Mystic Essence Pill and even an Eighth Stage Celestial Pill this time?"
"Why?"
"Because the Moonseizing Sect is showing off its capabilities."
The head of the Liu family was speechless. How could his son be so foolish?! In the future, could he really entrust the Liu family to him?
"It's also telling us that the Moonseizing Sect is worth our investment, and in the future, we will receive even richer rewards!"
"But, just because of Xiao Ling'er and Fan Jianqiang?"
"Foolish!"
"Before this, the Moonseizing Sect kept a low profile, and their pill refining techniques were nothing special. But now, they suddenly have Xiao Ling'er, a pill refining genius. Do you believe that she has no backing?"
"In my opinion, this Celestial Pill was most likely not made by her, but by someone else, like an unseen pill refining master!"
"But regardless, Lin Fan's actions this time have indeed piqued my interest."
"In any case, take the materials and people and set up the array, don't delay!"
"Consider it as my all-in bet."
"As for winning or losing, time will tell."
Liu Xun still didn't quite understand.
But thankfully, he didn't have to endure scolding, and the matter was resolved.
This was undoubtedly the best outcome.
He didn't ask further and quickly took the materials and people to the Moonseizing Sect once again.
Then...
The array formation began!
The five elders of the Moonseizing Sect successfully exchanged Spirit Mountains with other sects, although they had to pay a price. However, it allowed the Moonseizing Sect's twenty-five Spirit Mountains to connect, without any other sect's mountains interrupting.
This was undoubtedly safer and more convenient.
Liu Xun brought a considerable number of people and sufficient materials, but even so, it took almost a day's time to reach the end.
As the moonlight bathed the willow branches, Liu Xun and Lin Fan stood side by side, holding the sound transmission jade talisman to perform the final confirmation.
After receiving an affirmative response, Liu Xun took a deep breath and turned to Lin Fan.
His emotions were particularly complex.
These were all Liu Family's materials!
But...
Things had come to this point, and there was nothing more to say.
He steadied his mind, "Brother Lin, shall we activate the array?"
"Yes!"
Lin Fan smiled.
With this array, at least for a short period, Moonseizing Sect no longer had to worry about their safety.
Even a Sixth Stage cultivator could stall for a moment, let alone a Fifth Stage cultivator! It was almost impossible to break through.
Moreover, with so much territory, disciples wouldn't have to crowd into the same mountain base. At the same time, they could also expand their sect without restraint...
The benefits were countless.
"Activate the array!"
Lin Fan held the array disk, infusing it with essence energy, causing it to activate automatically.
Boom, boom, boom, boom!!!
Brilliant pillars of light shot into the sky, a total of twenty-five, representing the twenty-five Spirit Mountains of the Moonseizing Sect.
Subsequently, these pillars of light connected, forming a vast light screen that enveloped the entire Moonseizing Sect. Then, it gradually faded...
It wasn't that the array had disappeared.
Usually, the array would remain hidden, but if someone without the 'token' approached or attempted to enter, the array would instantly reveal itself, blocking them outside.
"It's done."
Although he had mixed feelings, at this moment, Liu Xun couldn't help but reveal a smile, "From now on, as long as a Sixth Stage cultivator doesn't intervene, the Moonseizing Sect will remain unharmed!"
He wasn't boasting.
Although the array couldn't block Sixth Stage cultivators for an extended period, it could still manage a brief obstruction.
With this time, the Moonseizing Sect could seek aid from the Liu Family!
Moreover, in this remote wilderness, where would so many Sixth Stage cultivators come from?
"I plan to set up a teleportation array within your Moonseizing Sect, making mutual support and communication more convenient."
Liu Xun proposed again.
Lin Fan naturally wouldn't refuse this suggestion.
However, he intended to remove the essence stones required for the teleportation array during normal times and reinstall them when needed.
He was cautious about someone potentially using the teleportation array to launch an attack!
Although it was unlikely under normal circumstances, it was better to be safe than sorry.
...
Outside the Moonseizing Sect's array, neighboring sect cultivators gathered in small groups, their expressions fluctuating between worry and relief.
"Hiss."
"The Moonseizing Sect, which was on the verge of collapse, now has a chance to rise again?"
"With twenty-five Spirit Mountains, they are already among the top five sects in this region."
"This array must be the work of the Liu Family."
"Nonsense, it was you who saw the Liu Family members busy setting up the array, why would you even mention it?"
"The Moonseizing Sect, now under the protection of the Liu Family, suddenly rises to prominence. For us, it's uncertain whether this is a blessing or a curse..."
"Hmph, relying on others is unreliable. Although the Moonseizing Sect has gained a significant advantage with the Liu Family's backing, their number of Spirit Mountains far surpasses our sect. But with a sparse population, what use is a sect with mountains but no people?"
"Indeed, instead of worrying about the Moonseizing Sect, we should be concerned about the disciples sent to the Spirit Sword Sect from the Eight Swords Sect."
"The destruction of the Eight Swords Sect, although the Moonseizing Sect occupies their territory, we, as neighboring sects, might also be targeted. After all, the Spirit Sword Sect is too domineering..."
At this point, their faces paled.
