With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods - Chapter 1438: Taking the stage away

Chapter 1438: Taking the stage away

There was nothing that Lin Fan and Ye Qing Huan had to do to get out of this situation in the end.

After all, none of the people that were here were the main characters in the end.

They had been brought along just so they would be able to experience the Dao Sect ruins. It wasn’t as if anyone had been counting on them to actually explore these ruins.

There was another group that took the stage and they were the ones that controlled the situation the moment that they appeared.

Once they appeared, it seemed like everyone became wary of them.

It seemed like they all lost interest in Lin Fan and Ye Qing Huan.

It was only natural that this would happen since they were the ones with real power.

These were the elders of the Five Great Sects, the main force that was in charge of this place.

After they appeared, there was only silence that followed as they all stared at each other. Though it was clear that there was one side that was getting more stares than the other side.

It only took a single thought to guess who this group was.

It was the group from the Heavenly Demon Sect.

Ye Qing Huan recognized the aura of her master while Lin Fan recognized the aura of his two masters.

Not only that, they recognized the aura of a few more of the Eight Kings.

The Heavenly Demon Sect had mobilized quite a few of their experts to claim this Dao Sect ruins.

However, it didn’t seem like they were lacking on the other side.

In terms of numbers alone, it seemed like the righteous sects had the advantage. It was just that even though they had the sheer numbers, the aura was a bit weaker and they were spread out.

Even if they were grouped together as the righteous sects that faced the demonic sects, it was hard for them to abandon everything and work together.

Which was why there was this separation between the righteous sects that made them weak.

At the same time, it made them afraid of actually doing anything to the Heavenly Demon Sect.

“We’re all here to explore, so let’s just split it.”

It wasn’t even the Heavenly Demon Sect side that made this suggestion.

In the end, it was the righteous sects that proposed this to the Heavenly Demon Sect.

That was just how afraid of them they were.

There was no movement from the Heavenly Demon Sect’s side after this proposal was made, but that was done on purpose. It was done by them just so they could have the upper hand in this negotiation.

After a very long silence, that was when the Heavenly Demon Sect finally agreed to the terms that the righteous sects proposed.

As if there was a large weight that was removed from their shoulders, they all revealed visible signs of relief when this happened.

The righteous sects really didn’t want a fight in this place.

In their minds, they had an advantage that the Heavenly Demon Sect didn’t have in this place.

Since they were the ones that had received the inheritance of the Dao Sect, it meant that they had some information about this place. With that information, they would be able to obtain more things than the Heavenly Demon Sect would be.

Once they were able to bring those things back to their sects, then they would be able to strengthen themselves.

The Dao Sect had once ruled over the cultivation continent and had suppressed the demonic sects. If it wasn’t for that disaster that they suffered, then the demonic sects never would have had that chance to rise up.

While the righteous sects didn’t fool themselves into thinking that they would be able to suppress the Heavenly Demon Sect, they at least hoped that they would have something that would allow them to stand on equal terms with the Heavenly Demon Sect.

Which was why they had to swallow their pride for now.

As for the Heavenly Demon Sect, they just simply didn’t want to start an all out war.

The Heavenly Demon Sect was only united when a war happened, but otherwise they all had their own desires as demonic cultivations. Which was why allowing everyone to explore freely was to their interest.

The only thing that one had to be worried about now was whether smaller fights would lead to an extreme.

It wasn’t as if something would happen if an extreme did happen in a smaller fight since they were considered smaller fights for a reason.

It was just that for Lin Fan and Ye Qing Huan who were targets of everyone else…

“It’s not a problem as long as no elders interfere.”

For them, that was the most important thing.

Lin Fan and Ye Qing Huan had already seen the level that the core disciples of the other sects were at, so it wasn’t as if they were worried about facing them. The only ones that actually posed a threat to them were the elders of those righteous sects.

However, it didn’t seem like anyone would go that far.

Not to mention that after everything was settled, they received a few voice transmissions.

When everyone separated from the main group and went off to explore the Dao Sect ruins on their own, they received voice transmissions from their masters.

“We’ve already reached an agreement before coming here that we would let the disciples fight it out. The moment that an elder moves out of line, they know that it’ll start a war.”

Lin Fan was surprised that they had reached an agreement beforehand, but Ye Qing Huan wasn’t that surprised. She was someone that knew more than Lin Fan did, so she knew that this was the most likely case.

It seemed like what they had done just now was nothing more than a show for everyone.

But there was a reason for them putting on this show.

“So, how did you find your way to that gate?”

As expected, this question was asked in the end.

However, from the way that they asked this, Lin Fan could tell that there was something special about the gate. Well, he already knew that there was something special about the gate from the way that everyone looked at them earlier.

What he had just confirmed was that there was something special that even made the elders take note of it. At the same time, he confirmed that they knew something about the gate.

When asked about it, the Poison King said, “We don’t really know that much. The only thing that we know is that that gate has only opened for a few people before. They were people that were regarded highly by the Dao Sect.”

“Not to mention that these are from the few pieces of information that we’ve been able to find about the Dao Sect, so it’s not certain.”

Though the Fire Fist King said it like this, the way that he said it showed that this was something that had appeared quite a few times in those few notes that they had. So it was something that they should take note of.

This just made Lin Fan even more curious what identity the Highoak Family had.

It was only because of the things that he got from them that he was able to make it through this gate in the first place. Which meant that the Highoak Family’s ancestor should have had a decently high position in the Dao Sect before it collapsed.

They might have even been a former elder of the Dao Sect…

After they answered his questions, they did have a few questions of their own, only they didn’t ask it directly.

“I found a few notes of my own.” That was the response that Lin Fan gave in the end.

Once he gave this response, it seemed like they no longer cared about this matter.

That was the faith that they had in him that he would be able to deliver the results that they wanted to see.

Lin Fan also didn’t ask anything else and just headed off with Ye Qing Huan.

After all, he knew the other reason that they had put on that show just now.

It was simply to set the stage, but it wasn’t them setting the stage for them.

What the elders were doing was putting up an umbrella by setting the stage around themselves. They were taking the attention from Lin Fan and Ye Qing Huan so that they would be able to do what they wanted to do.

Simply put, they were telling them to go wild.

If they were going to do all of this, then there was no reason for Lin Fan to decline.

With this map that he possessed, it would be easy for him to ’go wild’ as they wanted him to.

In fact, he might even be able to turn the entire Dao Sect ruins upside down if he wanted.

But he wouldn’t actually do that since it would attract too much attention.

He would ’go wild’, but he would do it in a way where he would be able to take all of the benefits without actually attracting trouble.

When the time came, he would certainly share the spoils of his labour with the Heavenly Demon Sect since they were the ones that brought him here.

He wouldn’t let the elders down who were covering for him so that he could do what he wanted in this place.
