Starting As A Sect Leader: My Rules Are Bit Wild.

Sect Prohibitions:

1. No sect member is allowed to provoke anyone who meets any of the above conditions.

2. No sect member is allowed to randomly provoke others. Our principle is: We will not offend others unless they offend us.

3. If others offend us, we must eradicate them completely, root and branch, leaving no survivors, crushing their bones and scattering their ashes, preferably even wiping out their families, sects, and close friends, leaving no survivors! Afterward, the ashes should be scattered at a windy place so they can be blown further.

4. If the third condition cannot be met, we must not become enemies with them. Choosing to endure is acceptable. A gentleman’s revenge is not too late in ten years.

5. If, due to special reasons, it is necessary to provoke someone who meets the ‘recruitment conditions’, a fatal blow must be delivered, and their family, especially their girlfriend, must be exterminated in the shortest possible time! At least those who are three major realms stronger than their strongest opponent must be sent, and they must not be given any chance to react. If the sect’s strength is insufficient… 

Even for the most special reasons, provocation is not allowed! Even if it means apologizing. Even if the premise is that a certain disciple is cuckolded by the other party.

6. …

After reading this series of new rules, the five elders were numb.

The previous new rules for recruiting disciples were okay, although they didn’t understand what they were for, they were at least not too outrageous and barely acceptable, but what were these sect prohibitions!?

Not allowing them to provoke people who meet the disciple recruitment conditions?

That was one thing.

If they didn’t make a move, they wouldn’t. But if they did, they would exterminate the entire family, even their relatives and friends, leaving no survivors, and then crush their bones and scatter their ashes. Weren’t they afraid of being regarded as a demonic sect with this kind of behavior?

The Great Elder shuddered and said, “Sect Master, these prohibitions are probably a bit inappropriate?”

“What’s inappropriate?”

Lin Fan retorted, rolling his eyes.

“To exterminate entire families at every turn… this is too ruthless, harmful to heavenly harmony, and easily invites backlash!”

“What backlash?”

Lin Fan retorted again: “We’ve exterminated the entire family, killed all their close friends, and crushed their bones and scattered their ashes without leaving a trace. Who would know we did it?”

“Even if they knew, with no relatives or friends, who would avenge them?”

“Or does the Great Elder think that killing just one person is safe? Wouldn’t their family and friends seek revenge?”

Su Xinghai was speechless and stared with wide eyes for a moment, not knowing how to refute.

The Second Elder Wu Xingyun pondered and said, “Sect Master, to do this, our Embracing Moon Sect currently doesn’t have the strength.”

“Even if a few of us old guys go out together, we are only barely the combat power of a third-rate sect.”

“So, didn’t I write it very clearly?”

“If you don’t have enough strength, then endure it for me! If you don’t even have the strength to exterminate entire families, you still dare to provoke them? Aren’t you afraid of being exterminated in return? Haven’t you died before?”

Lin Fan didn’t give face to the beautiful woman when it came to important principles.

Lin Fan knew what he wanted and knew even more clearly how to ‘survive’!

Therefore, these clauses must be implemented.

As soon as these words came out, Wu Xingyun’s red lips opened and closed several times, but in the end, she was speechless and said nothing.

She naturally wanted to refute.

But you really had to admit that Lin Fan’s words made a lot of sense.

They were rough but true.

The Great Dao was simple.

“Especially those who meet our recruitment conditions, if we really offend them, we must kill them with one blow, along with their families! Not to mention people, even the dogs must be slapped twice to burst their heads, their balls must be thoroughly mixed, and even the earthworms must be dug out and cut vertically!”

Saying this, Lin Fan looked at them: “Does anyone else have any questions?”

The Fifth Elder Duan Qingyao lightly raised her hand: “Sect Master, I have a question. What does ‘cuckolded’ mean?”

“It means being cheated on,” Lin Fan replied casually.

The five elders’ expressions were synchronized, equally blank: “Huh?”

“The hatred of having one’s wife taken, do you understand?”

“The kind where your wife is snatched away by someone else and runs away with them.”

“…”

Hiss!

The five elders suddenly gasped.

Good heavens.

They had to endure even this kind of hatred?!

The Fourth Elder Chen Erzhu hurriedly said: “Sect Master, I’m afraid this is inappropriate. If this kind of hatred is suppressed in the heart and cannot be released, if the mind is not clear, it will be detrimental to cultivation, and it is feared that it will produce inner demons. At light, one cannot make any progress; at worst… one’s cultivation will regress, or even one’s body will explode and die!”

“What inner demons can this produce?”

The other four elders nodded one after another.

Lin Fan crossed his arms: “I know what you are thinking, but why don’t you think about it the other way around?”

“Is a woman, or Dao companion, who can be snatched away still worthy of being your Dao companion?”

The five people were stunned, and then they shook their heads one after another.

She was definitely not worthy.

A good horse doesn’t turn back, let alone a person?

“Then what are you suppressing?”

“Change your thinking. You get to be with someone else’s Dao companion for a while for free. What are you suppressing?”

“Even if you spent money, doesn’t everything cost money? Doesn’t visiting a brothel also cost money? Isn’t a decent woman more comfortable than visiting a brothel?”

“Suppressing? Shouldn’t you be secretly happy? Even if you are unhappy, you can work hard, cultivate, and after you are done, go and beat the other person up, working hard just to beat him up!”

“Sleeping with someone’s Dao companion and then cleaning him up afterward, you’re suppressing?”

“Even if you can’t figure it out, this matter also lets you recognize what kind of person your Dao companion is, which is better than her betraying you at a critical moment and killing you, right?”

The five elders: “Huh?!”

(ΩДΩ)!!!

At this moment, they were all stunned.

What kind of thinking was this?

A principle they had never imagined.

But you had to admit it.

You really had to admit it!

The Third Elder Li Changshou slapped his thigh wildly, staring at Lin Fan with fiery eyes.

Well said!

In the end, even the most stubborn Great Elder felt that there was some truth to it, but he still felt that it was inappropriate: “What the Sect Master said is not unreasonable, but this is ultimately a bit undignified, right?”

“If these sect rules are spread out, I’m afraid they will be ridiculed.”

“It’s okay for us elders to see it, but if the disciples see it, I’m afraid it’s inappropriate.”

“Inappropriate?”

Lin Fan sighed lightly: “Ridicule?”

“What time is it? Do we still need face?”

“What is more important, face or the sect and our lives?”

“Great Elder, you have been in the Embracing Moon Sect for much longer than me. In terms of seniority, I have to call you ancestor, so tell me, in the previous generations, our Embracing Moon Sect also received some good seedlings, but why now is it my turn to be this sect master?”

The Great Elder’s face changed slightly, and he thought of many things.

His own fellow disciples, disciples, grand-nephews, and even…

Too many.

In these years, they had all become a handful of yellow earth.

His voice gradually became hoarse. “The others… are all dead. Sect Leader is the best seedling our Moon Gazing Sect has now.”

“Then did any of them die of old age?”

The Grand Elder’s voice was even more hoarse. “No.”

“Still don’t understand?”

Lin Fan sneered. “It’s come to this point, and you still can’t face reality, talking to me about reputation?”

“Just try to survive. When there’s no chance to even survive, then it’s truly hopeless.”

“Moreover, I know why you chose me as the sect leader.”

He didn’t hide it. “That night when you were talking, by chance, I overheard it.”

“You didn’t want to take this responsibility, so you chose me. I’m not afraid.”

“But since you’ve chosen me, you have to give me the authority so I can be bold and decisive in what I do!”

“Whether I succeed or fail, at least I tried.”

“I can face the sect, and I can face my own conscience!”

“Don’t make me the sect leader in name only, while you deny everything I do, even when you know there’s some reason behind what I’m doing…”

Lin Fan gave a self-deprecating laugh.

“If that’s the case, I don’t want this sect leader position. Whoever wants it can have it. Or, I have some other fellow disciples. Why don’t you let them be the sect leader?”

Saying this, Lin Fan let out another long sigh.

“The Moon Gazing Sect is already sick, terminally ill.”

“Change might not lead to success, but not changing will definitely lead to death.”

“In chaotic times, harsh measures are needed. A loud drum doesn’t need a heavy hammer.”

“Whether you agree or not, it’s up to you to decide.”

He looked directly at the five elders, with not a trace of humility in his eyes. At this moment, he was the true sect leader, not a puppet, much less a scapegoat!

If you want me to do it, then give me the authority to do it properly.

If you don’t want me to do it, then you can take the blame yourselves!

These words were very impolite, even rebellious in this era.

But they left the five elders speechless.

Finally, the Grand Elder lowered his head and sighed, “Let’s do as the Sect Leader says.”

“I have no objections,” Wu Xingyun nodded.

Subsequently, the other three elders also expressed their support.

Seeing this, Lin Fan finally smiled. “Elders, please don’t blame this junior for being disrespectful to my elders, but this junior really has no other choice.”

“After all, you are more aware of the current situation of the Moon Gazing Sect than this junior.”

“This is my only way.”

“And rest assured, I’m not just playing around. I’ve already made up my mind to live or die with the Moon Gazing Sect!”

Hearing this, the five elders were surprised and couldn’t help but feel deeply moved.

A sense of shared purpose spread among them.

Live or die together?

Weren’t they, these old fellows, feeling the same way?

At this moment, they even had a feeling.

Perhaps this young man, who was pushed into this position because they didn’t want to take the blame, could really bring some change…

“Therefore, I ask for your assistance!”

“Rest assured.”

Duan Qingyao smiled, wiping away the previous awkwardness, and patted Lin Fan’s shoulder. “Our goals are the same. We will definitely assist you with all our strength.”

“Yes! Perhaps this is our last chance. We should do our best!” Chen Erzhu also patted Lin Fan’s shoulder.

Then, the Grand, Second, and Third Elders followed suit.

They all patted Lin Fan’s shoulder, indicating that they would also do their best.

“Then we’ll go down and prepare first.”

The five elders looked serious. “Whether there can be any change, perhaps, it all depends on three days later…”

“Yes, thank you for your hard work.”

Lin Fan nodded.

Watching them leave, Lin Fan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. “Fortunately, I didn’t fall out with them. As long as they are willing to assist with all their strength, there is still a chance.”

“As for my fellow disciples…”

Thinking of them, Lin Fan scratched his head.

They were all outer sect disciples, with negligible talent.

It was basically impossible for them to achieve anything.

“I’ll try my best to protect them. Even if they don’t achieve anything, they can be mascots and fill the ranks.”
