Starting as a clan leader: My rules are a bit wild.

In other words, we are currently lacking in strength.

Otherwise, Lin Fan wouldn't even want to wait until the next day to take revenge!
After figuring things out, Lin Fan immediately began to take the corresponding actions.

Barrett?
Let's feed them!
The protagonist's disciples?

Order a recall!

Tell them to finish what they're doing and come back as quickly as possible.

The only problem is that although the Lan Yue Sect is currently wealthy, most of its assets are 'money' and relatively conventional resources.

Those rare items, like 'experience pills,' were already scarce, and they had been constantly being consumed, so the Lan Yue Sect currently had none left.

But it's okay.

With money, why worry about not being able to buy things?

If you can't buy it, it's because the offer was too low!

If all else fails, try exchanging it for a magic pill!

Auction houses everywhere—if you need something, just throw money at it and buy it.

Moreover, Lin Fan played a trick.

Let's all keep our identities hidden~
They all kept a low profile, appearing as if they dared not show their true faces, as they went to auction houses in various places to sell the rare and precious items they needed.

But when it comes to throwing money around, they're incredibly ruthless.

They often spend huge sums of money without batting an eye, and ultimately leave with numerous rare and precious items.

But~~~
The Three Thousand Continents are not so peaceful.

So rich, yet they dare not show their true faces, and they still managed to snatch away the rare items and treasures that 'we' wanted, and they still want to leave?!

And so...

Almost every disciple who went out to auction rare items would encounter trouble shortly after leaving the auction house.

Or perhaps it is a local ancient tribe or religion.

Or some 'thugs'.

Or they may be demonic cultivators or evil cultivators.

Or perhaps some people who appear respectable on the surface but secretly engage in petty theft and other despicable acts.

They blocked the road halfway, clearly intending to rob us.

And in this way...

The disciples' combat experience has increased again!
With Xiao Ling'er and the others' current strength, anyone below the Immortal King level is just easy prey.

Above the Celestial King? If there is only one person, it is not impossible to fight. Even if he cannot kill the Celestial King, he will not be killed by a Celestial King. At least he can escape.

Of course, they wouldn't run away.

Why run away?

Yes, I want it...
This is the opportunity!

If you guys don't come and take it from me, how am I supposed to take it from you?

My Lan Yue Sect still has some sense of shame.

Although we never claim to be from a prestigious sect, we are not evil or heretical. How can we just kill and rob indiscriminately?

But you fucking delivered yourselves to my doorstep, wanting to steal my treasure and kill me!
In this situation, do you think I'd let you get away?
Fighting provides combat experience and helps you grow stronger. Afterwards, you can even plunder the enemy's territory. If you're part of a larger force, you can even raid their stronghold and take their treasure.

Fishing Law Enforcement?

Ah yes!

I'm just entrapping people, so what?
If you didn't mess around and didn't want to kill me, how could you fish out of my league?

Puff, you idiot!

Hit me, huh?

And so...

Most of these robbers were killed on the spot.

For a small number of people who were numerous or particularly difficult to deal with, the disciples also called for reinforcements.

If it's difficult to handle by shaking other fellow disciples, then just ask Lin Fan for help.

Lin Fan fired his gun, 'launching' himself to the scene of the incident.

Then···
Just do it!

With his current strength, capable of being an Immortal Emperor, who can stop him?

Unless the opponent is also an Immortal Emperor!

But how many celestial emperors would be so shameless as to come and rob someone?
Hey~
But you know what, you really shouldn't say it.

This day.

Shi Haomeng walked in front of him.

He had just come from an auction house with a great haul, and he was all smiles and in a very good mood.

Based on past experience, he didn't use the teleportation array or take the main road; instead, he ran alone into the sparsely populated wilderness.

The more desolate a place is, the more he will venture there.

As a result, they ran for three days in a row, but no one caught up with them.

"Weird."

That night.

Shi Hao squatted on the edge of the cliff, eating roasted chicken and complaining.

"Why didn't anyone come to ambush and kill us this time?"

"Could it be that the local people are so simple and honest?"

"That's truly a rare sight!"

"Never mind, let's wait one more night."

"If no one is there, let's go somewhere else."

Looking at the bright moonlight, Shi Hao was not in a good mood.

He's not afraid of fighting.

On the contrary, he was quite looking forward to it.

He would be unhappy if no one came to kill him, after all, everyone said that the Desolate Emperor was like a teddy bear, doing whatever he wanted wherever he went.

Isn't it so boring if we don't fight?
"hehe."

Sudden.

A chuckle came.

Shi Hao's eyes lit up.

It's a pity he hasn't seen Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons, otherwise...
He came up in a pose as languid as a monkey just freed from its cage, with an extremely seductive air: "Finally, I've been tricked~"

A figure strolled over, sat down by the fire, and said with a chuckle, "You don't seem surprised?"

"Was it really done on purpose?"

Shi Hao frowned.

Feeling puzzled by the man's attitude, he asked, "What are you talking about?"

"I don't understand, I don't understand!"

"It's fine if you don't admit it." The other person stretched. "It's good that you know it in your heart, but you won't be able to wait for them."

"Ok?"

Shi Hao stared at him, a look of confusion on his face.

"because."

The other person laughed, revealing a set of rather glaringly yellow teeth: "I've already taken care of them all."

Shi Hao was even more puzzled.

What is this person's intention?

Could it be...?
One of our own?

Or perhaps they realized his identity and that the Lan Yue Sect had done him a favor, so they 'helped' him get rid of those people and repay the favor along the way?

No way!
If that's the case, then wouldn't I have wasted my time and been happy for nothing?
Shi Hao's disdain was written all over his face: "Who are you?"

"Why do you do this?"

"Don't you understand yet?"

The other person simply shrugged: "They're in the way too much."

"I've taken a fancy to your things, and they dare to steal them?"

"If they don't die, who should?"

Shi Hao was taken aback, but then overjoyed.

What do you call this? A complete turn of events! I thought I wouldn't be able to make a move on this trip, but unexpectedly, I've gained something unexpected!

And someone who can take down everyone else must be very strong, right?
He's probably a Celestial King!

Greetings, Celestial King!

He immediately retorted, "So, you're here to rob us too?"

The other party chuckled: "You can't say that."

"What robbery? It'll sound terrible if word gets out."

"Besides, your Lan Yue Sect is currently enjoying great influence and has good relations with the Four Great Walls. If this news gets out, wouldn't I be in trouble for no reason?"

"Therefore, it cannot be called robbery."

"It should be said..."

"You are the one who takes care of me, an old man, and takes the initiative to show filial piety to me."

"Understand?"

He tidied the fire and brushed the dust off his hands.

"All right."

"The point has been made clear, well..."

"Hand over the stuff, so we don't make things unpleasant for everyone. I can go easy on you later and make your death easier and less painful."

Shi Hao smiled.

His smile was exceptionally bright: "You old codger, you really are..."

"I admire your shamelessness." "However, knowing who I am and still daring to come, don't disappoint me."

"Ugh."

The other party sighed: "I knew you young people were all arrogant and thought you were second to none, capable of suppressing all enemies, and would never surrender easily."

"so troublesome."

"However, since you insist on fighting, then I will also exchange a few blows with you."

"It also lets you know the gap between us."

Shi Hao took a bite of chicken and stood up casually: "Okay."

"bring it on."

"Come on." The other person threw a punch.

boom!
It was clearly an extremely simple punch, yet it instantly distorted space, like a super energy cannon. It was terrifyingly powerful without any laws or secret techniques.

Shi Hao raised an eyebrow and immediately dodged to the side.

but···

He managed to dodge it.

The roast chicken I was only halfway through eating was blasted into nothingness.

His face darkened: "My roast chicken!"

You have to pay!

"Haha~~~"

"You're so arrogant!" the other person laughed, and then unleashed a barrage of punches.

Every punch was ridiculously powerful; every punch possessed the might of a Celestial King!

"He really is a Celestial King!"

Shi Hao was overjoyed: "Come, come, don't disappoint me!"

"Six Paths of Reincarnation Fist!"

Boom!
He stood on the void, with six Reincarnation Caves appearing and disappearing behind him. Every punch he threw carried the true meaning of reincarnation, as if he wanted to send everything into the cycle of reincarnation.

Boom, boom, boom!

The two exchanged punches from a distance, neither giving an inch.

Each clash shattered the void in this area.

The two struck each other from the cliff into the sky, and then from the sky into the void.

It was too intense.

They didn't stop for a moment, as if they were about to cause a landslide or earthquake.

Shi Hao became more and more excited as the game progressed.

The other party frowned slightly.

Boom!
Another head-on collision, and both were forced back simultaneously.

Shi Hao laughed loudly, "Hahaha, good, that was awesome, awesome!"

"It's been a long time since I've encountered an opponent who can fight me like this. You'd better hold on for a while."

"The ultimate in strength!"

"Kunpeng Fist!"

Shi Hao changed his tactics.

With the ultimate power of the Heavenly Horned Ants empowering the Kunpeng Fist, and further enhanced by the Xingzi Secret and Kunpeng Speed, the speed and power surged dramatically in an instant.

Boom! ! !
With just one punch, the opponent's expression changed drastically, and he retreated rapidly, each step causing the void to shatter.

"Come on, come on, come on again!"

Shi Hao became increasingly excited, and his attacks became more and more reckless, causing his opponent to retreat steadily.

"Is this the Celestial King?"

"Your physical body is no good!"

hum!
The physical body's grotto-heaven is opened!
They erupted by taking their own lives as a seed.

Shi Hao's combat power increased once again: "Vermilion Bird Four Strikes!"

Boom, boom, boom!

The Vermilion Bird True Fire swept across the sky, forcing the opponent into a series of retreats.

"Aren't you going to get serious yet?"

"You want to suppress me with your body to prevent your identity from being revealed?"

"pity···"

"Can you do it?"

Shi Hao pressed on relentlessly, but the other party sneered, "Can't do it? Then open your eyes wide and take a good look."

boom!
His momentum surged dramatically.

"A Celestial King Giant?"

Shi Hao was stunned, utterly astonished: "You actually hid your strength?"

"hehe."

A mocking smile appeared on the other person's lips.

"Although you are indeed a prodigy, you are still too young."

"You are at the fifteenth realm because you have struggled to the death to reach the fifteenth realm so far, while I appear to be a Celestial King only because I want you to see a Celestial King, nothing more."

"However, since you're so arrogant, then you might as well be a little more serious."

"Since a Celestial King's physical body is insufficient to suppress you, what about now?"

Shi Hao: "..."

At that moment, he was somewhat confused.

"you···"

"He seems very proud?"

He asked rhetorically.

Isn't that strange?

An ancient, seemingly immortal being, tried to bully the younger generation, hoping to outsmart them. However, his bravado backfired, and he not only failed to defeat himself but was also forced to deploy a higher level of combat power…
In this situation, why do you still have such a proud tone and expression?

"you···"

"How shameless!"

The other person suddenly stopped: "You... what did you say?"

"You're shameless!" Shi Hao said innocently. "Isn't that right?"

"They bullied the weak, trying to conceal their identities, so they didn't use Dao principles or techniques, relying only on their physical strength. However, their physical strength was no match for mine, forcing them to use a higher level of physical strength..."

"Why are you still able to laugh in this situation?"

The other person was speechless: "You little rascal!!!"

"What I'm laughing at is that you're about to die!"

"Die!"

At this moment, the opponent took the initiative to attack. The physical strength of the Immortal King level was extremely terrifying. Shi Hao's expression was solemn, and he used many methods to try to make contact.

But in the brief encounter, he was constantly at a disadvantage and even suffered some injuries, which gave him a real headache.

"Is the difference in their cultivation levels really that great?"

Shi Hao frowned and chose to use the "Travel" technique to temporarily dodge rather than fight head-on.

"Oh?"

"Why aren't you laughing?"

The other party grinned maliciously: "Have you sensed my power?"

"Die!"

boom!
He threw a punch, and everything in front of him shattered in an instant, as if he wanted to blast Shi Hao into dust.

"Ah."

Shi Hao let out a low shout and unleashed his full power.

However, the vast difference in their cultivation levels still caused him to suffer severe injuries almost instantly.

"How?"

The other side is pressing closer and closer, intending to strike decisively.

"···"

"The Third Supreme Technique".

Shi Hao reversed time, forcibly restoring himself to his peak condition, and sighed, "Since that's the case, there's nothing we can do about it."

"Facing such an opponent..."

"Although I really don't want to use it."

"Other-transformation...the Dharma of Freedom!"

hum!
He transforms into freedom, he transforms into eternity!
Boom!
A figure emerged from behind Shi Hao, its face obscured, yet its strength was terrifying.

This figure arrived first despite being behind, bypassing Shi Hao and engaging in fierce combat with the enemy.

Boom, boom, boom!

The two sides were like two ancient ferocious beasts, without any fancy moves, relying solely on their physical strength, yet they were terrifyingly powerful, like the horned ants of the ancient times descending!
"what?"

The other person exclaimed in surprise, "You rascal!"

"What kind of law is this?"

He pushed his physical strength to the limit, but he still couldn't defeat this seemingly illusory figure. Instead, he was gradually suppressed, and in the end, he was almost completely suppressed.

"How can this be?!"

Fuck!
A physical body that transcends two realms was completely suppressed by this kid's single technique?
Shi Hao sighed, "Just as I thought."

"Although the method of transcending the self can reverse the situation, my sense of participation has decreased somewhat. Fortunately, I can also 'join in'."

"Then..."

"Liu Shenfa!" (End of this chapter)
