With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods - Chapter 1427: Cut with a knife

Chapter 1427: Cut with a knife

The place that these two led Lin Fan to was not a place that he had been expecting.

But the moment that he stepped into that place, he knew exactly why he had been brought to this place.

The tension that was in the air…it was so solid that it could be cut with a knife.

However, it didn’t seem like anyone was planning on talking about the tension that was in the air. With the way that everyone just went about their own business, it seemed like all of them were just silently accepting of the tension that was there.

It was as if they all treated it as something that was just normal.

Seeing this, Lin Fan could easily figure out what it was.

“So they know that something is going to happen, but they don’t want to be the first ones to make a move.”

While he was entering the city, Lin Fan could also tell that the people in line with him weren’t normal. If he had to guess, they were most likely here for the same reason as him.

The only difference was that they were most likely from a different sect.

They were most likely from one of the righteous sects unlike him who was from the Heavenly Demon Sect.

Once he was in, he followed the two girls to a place that seemed appropriate for a demonic sect.

Every city had one and it was the place where those that were considered ’scum’ would gather. However, since they were part of a demonic sect, this place was actually the best place for them to gather.

As for why the righteous sects didn’t attack this place even though they knew that those from the Heavenly Demon Sect were here, it was because they couldn’t afford to go after them.

It was just that they didn’t want to start anything before the real event started.

If they were to lose their forces before the main event, they would be the ones that suffered when the time came.

After all, it wasn’t just the Heavenly Demon Sect alone that they would have to be on guard against.

Even though the righteous sects came together, the reality of the matter was that they were all against each other as well. None of the righteous sects wanted each other to gain enough power that they would be able to go beyond the other righteous sects.

They wanted to be the ones that became the leader of all the righteous sects.

So even if it looked like they were working together on the surface, they were really watching out for each other.

Once Lin Fan arrived in this bad part of town, it didn’t take long for people to come up to him. After all, he looked like a handsome young master that was here with two beautiful girls.

Because they were keeping a low profile, they didn’t have the same aura that they normally had that would allow them to move unhindered.

“Young master, you have quite the beautiful companions. How about you lend them to us to have some fun with?”

Lin Fan couldn’t help shaking his head with a faint smile when he saw this.

It had been a long time since he had been approached like this, not since his days starting out in the Mu Empire. Even back then, there were few people that actually dared to pick a fight with him.

So seeing these thugs trying to pick a fight with him now was actually interesting to watch.

Still, it wasn’t as if they would be able to do anything to him.

With just a single step, he punched all of these thugs in the stomach that made them reel forward. It looked very natural in a way that everyone thought that these thugs had suddenly lost consciousness on their own.

However, there was no one that actually believed that this was the case.

In a part of the city like this, there was no one that would challenge someone that could demonstrate this kind of skill.

Though as he did this, there was a part of Lin Fan that couldn’t help feeling that this was a bit fun. It was something that he had always wanted to do, but never had the chance to do in his new life.

Following the two girls, it didn’t take long for them to arrive at an inconspicuous house.

Only the moment that they arrived, Lin Fan felt something coming from within.

It was like a signal that was just for him and he knew exactly who it was that had sent it.

The two girls didn’t go in with him and just stayed outside as if they were keeping watch over this place.

When he came in, the first thing that happened was…

“You’re finally here.”

Lin Fan had to reach his arms out to catch the person who was flying towards him.

However, it wasn’t as if that person had any hostility towards him when she flew at him like this. It was that she just missed him since she hadn’t seen him in a while now.

As for who it was, it was naturally Ye Qing Huan who was in charge of the squad that those two girls belonged to.

“What are you doing here?” Lin Fan asked after catching Ye Qing Huan like this.

Only when he asked this, it seemed like Ye Qing Huan wasn’t happy about his tone.

“You haven’t seen me in this long and you’re already talking about business?”

Lin Fan really didn’t know how to feel since it felt like Ye Qing Huan’s personality had changed in some way. She did show her affection before, but it was more silent affection instead of direct affection like this.

He had never seen her acting this way, so he couldn’t help being completely caught off guard seeing her like this now.

“I’ve missed you.”

When Ye Qing Huan didn’t hold back like this at all, he couldn’t help feeling a bit awkward. At the same time, Lin Fan had to wonder if this was a fake Ye Qing Huan that had been thrown at him to test him.

But in the end, he could tell that this was the real Ye Qing Huan.

After all, he could see and feel the connection between them through his Love Gauge Taming. There was no one else that would be able to replicate the feeling that came from a skill from the gods.

So he slowly calmed her down before saying, “What’s wrong?”

Ye Qing Huan looked at him and puffed out her cheeks before saying, “It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you and I’ve had some time to think. I don’t like when we’re apart for so long, so there’s no need for me to hold back when I do see you.”

Lin Fan once again revealed a strange look, but he could tell that she was just being honest.

“Could it be that she reached some kind of epiphany?”

Even if that was the case, it wasn’t as if it was Lin Fan’s position to judge.

“Alright, I’m here now and we can spend time together.” But then his tone changed as he said, “However, we should focus on the situation at hand.”

Ye Qing Huan looked a bit disappointed hearing this, but she didn’t throw a fuss like she did before. This time, it seemed like she had gained enough of some kind of resource that allowed her to focus once more.

Once she focused again, Ye Qing Huan said, “Let me show you what we’re dealing with.”

When Lin Fan saw the reports that Ye Qing Huan handed him, he couldn’t help revealing a serious look.

After all, the information on the reports showed that things were much more serious than he thought they were. It was almost as if the righteous sects were feeling desperate, which was why they were acting out in this way.

“Is it really that bad?” Lin Fan couldn’t help asking Ye Qing Huan in the end.

She slowly gave a nod to show that this was indeed the case.

Then with a sigh, she said, “This is something that we didn’t expect at all. We thought that they would have other tricks up their sleeves, but it feels like they don’t have anything at all. It’s almost as if they know something that we don’t, which is why they’re so desperate.”

“Even with the Heavenly Demon Sect’s intelligence network?”

Ye Qing Huan gave a slow nod before saying with a sigh, “We’ve tried sending people in, but we haven’t been able to find anything. It seems like it’s something that only the higher ups of the righteous sects know and we don’t have a way of finding out.”

This naturally wasn’t a good sign, but it wasn’t as if there was anything that Lin Fan could do about this.

The only thing that he could do was rely on the information that he had gotten from the Highoak Family to see if he could give them an advantage.

“Can you get me a map of this area?”

Ye Qing Huan was caught off guard by this sudden request from Lin Fan, but she nodded in agreement in the end without asking anything.

She knew that if Lin Fan was asking for something at this time, he would most likely have some kind of plan.

She could trust him enough to let him keep this plan secret until the time came.

They would certainly need all the advantages that they could get in the Dao Sect ruins.
