With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

After the outer sect disciples of the Kunlun Sect left, Lin Fan went over to Ye Qing Huan to ask, "Are you sure that this is the right move? Are you sure that this is a good idea?"

Ye Qing Huan had told him what to say, so that plan just now was what Ye Qing Huan had come up with.

The only reason that Lin Fan said it was because he trusted Ye Qing Huan, but that didn't mean that he supported the plan that she came up with. It didn't seem like it was the best way to handle this matter.@@novelbin@@

It seemed like there were still many loose ends that weren't tied up with this plan.

But Ye Qing Huan just said, "I know what I'm doing."

Lin Fan raised a brow to look at her, but he eventually gave a nod in response.

Now all that was left was to prepare everything to catch the disciples of the Kunlun Sect.

They would have to make sure that not a single one of them escaped from the net, or else it would be troublesome to deal with what came afterwards. Only by catching them all could they strike a blow to the Kunlun Sect.

As for what happened afterwards, that wasn't really Lin Fan's concern.

Though he would be happy to see conflict between the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Kunlun Sect.

It would distract the Kunlun Sect from bothering the Mu Empire.

The Five Great Sects were clearly planning something with the Mu Empire with the recent moves that they made through the Wu Empire. So it was only a matter of time before something happened.

But compared to the Mu Empire, if the Heavenly Demon Sect were to make a move, the Kunlun Sect would be too busy to do anything to the Mu Empire.

Compared to the Mu Empire, the Heavenly Demon Sect was definitely the bigger fish.

At the same time, it would also involve the other righteous sects from the Five Great Sects.

The Heavenly Demon Sect was strong enough to take on all four of the righteous sects on its own, so it was not something that the righteous sects could ignore.

If the Kunlun Sect was in danger because of the Heavenly Demon Sect, then the other three sects wouldn't remain idle. After all, they needed the Kunlun Sect's power just to maintain the balance between the Five Great Sects, so they wouldn't let the Heavenly Demon Sect actually do anything to the Kunlun Sect.

That would mean even less pressure on the Mu Empire since the Five Great Sects would be turning their attention elsewhere.

But that would mean pressure on the Heavenly Demon Sect that the Ye Family was a part of…

Since Ye Qing Huan had decided on this, Lin Fan would see it through to the end.

…

It was a normal day in the capital city, that was until it suddenly changed.

No one knew where it came from, but soon there was a wave of rats that ran through the streets of the city.

These rats weren't just normal rats, but spirit beasts. That meant that they were more powerful than normal mortals.

But it wasn't as if that meant that they were stronger than cultivators.

These rats were only in the Qi Gathering Realm, so normal cultivators would be able to take care of one or two of these rats. It was a problem since there were just too many of these rats in the first place.

There were tens of thousands of these rats and it didn't seem like the wave of rats that appeared was going to stop. It seemed like even more rats were coming out of the ground with the way that more and more of them appeared.

At this rate, it really seemed like the entire capital would be covered in rats.

The royal army and all other cultivators that were in the city were fighting against the rats, but there were just too many of them that many of them ended up running away. The only thing that they could do was protect the most important locations in the capital.

That didn't include a certain restaurant.

What no one noticed was that there was a certain flow to the rats that appeared in the capital. When one looked closely at them, they could see that the rats seemed to be moving in a certain direction.

It was as if they were heading towards a certain location.

It was one of the most popular restaurants in the city, but it wasn't a restaurant that was anything special since it was one that was only owned by a mortal. It wasn't a place that should have attracted all of these spirit beasts.

But this restaurant had a special status since it was owned by the Ye Family.

It was the same restaurant that the Ye Family's intelligence network went through, the same place that Lin Fan had worked in just yesterday.

When they were threatened by these rat spirit beasts, the workers of the restaurant had no choice but to reveal themselves. Some of them were just normal workers, but the ones that were in management were different.

They were the ones that the Ye Family had arranged to run this restaurant, so there was no need to doubt their power. They were certainly strong enough to deal with this wave of rat spirit beasts that appeared.

But there was one thought on their minds.

"Where did these rat spirit beasts come from?"

Though they were curious about this, there really was no time for them to try and figure this out.

It was even a bit embarrassing that as the Ye Family's information network, they never found out about all of these rat spirit beasts that were in this capital city that they were based in. After all, it was impossible for this kind of spirit beast wave to have just appeared in the city.

A wave of this level would be something that had built up over a long period of time, so they must have been in the city for a while now.

For a branch of the Ye Family's information network to not have discovered something like this, there was no doubt that they would be in trouble. At the same time, it was certain that they would be blamed for what happened today.

So the only thing that they could do now was take care of the rat spirit beasts while avoiding as much damage as possible.

At the same time, the manager of this branch couldn't help thinking to himself…

"Is this why those two suddenly appeared?"

He was naturally referring to Lin Fan and Ye Qing Huan.

The two of them had come with recommendations from the young miss of the Ye Family, which meant that the two of them had come here for a purpose. Now that the rat spirit beasts came out in waves, the manager of this branch couldn't help associating them to this.

Did the young miss already know about this, which was why she sent those two people here?

It seemed to make even more sense since those two had taken the day off.

Whatever they were here for, it was most likely related to these rat spirit beasts.

It really seemed like he and the rest of this branch would be in trouble for this lack of their duty.

What Lin Fan and Ye Qing Huan were actually doing was that they were in the sewers.

The distraction that the outer sect disciples of the Kunlun Sect caused was the wave of rat spirit beasts. They had the option of causing the distraction themselves, but they didn't take this risk and sent the rats instead.

Though by doing this, it meant that they lost the method to collect more life energy for the embryo.

That meant that if they didn't find a way to awaken the embryo, then their plans would be set back even further.

But they did this after considering the pros and cons.

What they were waiting for was Lin Fan and Ye Qing Huan to bring the items that would allow them to awaken the embryo.

"Is everything ready?" Lin Fan asked Ye Qing Huan as they moved through the sewers.

This was where they said that they would meet with the outer sect disciples of the Kunlun Sect, which was why they were currently heading to where the embryo was hidden.

The outer sect disciples of the Kunlun Sect were really taking a risk by bringing them here, but Lin Fan had insisted on this and they had no other choice.

Ye Qing Huan didn't say anything at first, but she eventually said, "It's not a problem. Everything is already prepared."

Lin Fan could see the look that was on her face, so he decided not to say anything else.

That was because they didn't expect the Kunlun Sect disciples to release the rat spirit beasts in the first place.

They had been able to place some people around the capital to ensure that most people wouldn't be hurt, but it was impossible to completely keep everyone in the capital safe.

Ye Qing Huan blamed herself for this since she was the one that made the decision to trap the Kunlun Sect disciples like this.

Lin Fan didn't say anything in the end since he knew that there was no use saying anything.

Instead, he focused his attention on the Kunlun Sect disciples that were waiting in front of him.
