With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

Huang Xie stopped moving and looked in the direction that the pressure was coming from.

It was the Huang Family manor once again.

It seemed that the person that the ancestor of the Huang Family had been referring to as 'sir envoy' had been hiding in the Huang Family manor, watching over everything.

With the way that they acted, it was as if they didn't care what happened to the Huang Family.

But in the end, it still seemed like they cared as they stopped Huang Xie from going any further.

"I think that's enough of that." A scratchy voice came from the Huang Family manor.

When this voice rang out, there was even more pressure that fell onto Huang Xie. It was as if each word was filled with power that pressed down on him when they were spoken.

Only Huang Xie really wasn't pushed back when this voice tried to put pressure on him.

He seemed like he was able to endure the full brunt of this pressure without a single reaction.

Though when one looked closely, they could see that there was this faint layer of green light that was around Huang Xie. This was the same layer of green light that had protected him from all the attacks that came at him previously.

It seemed that even now, it was protecting him against the pressure that was falling onto him. Continue your adventure at empire

Finally, the door to the Huang Family manor opened and there was a short cloaked figure that walked out.

"Ta, ta, ta." As this short cloaked figure walked out, there was this sound that rang out at the same time. It was the sound of something hitting the ground, it was the sound of the cane that this short cloaked figure walked with.

With the cane and the bent over stature that this cloaked figure had, it didn't seem like this short cloaked figure was any threat.

But anyone that could feel the pressure coming from him could tell that he wasn't anyone simple.

It was always the old ginger that was the most spicy.

That was the best way to describe this short cloaked figure.

After walking for a bit, the short cloaked figure suddenly stopped a few steps away from the ancestor of the Huang Family.

When the ancestor of the Huang Family saw this, he immediately revealed a look of joy and said, "Sir envoy, please take care of this unruly descendant of our Huang Family. Please feel free to take him as a slave or whatever you want."

But the short cloaked figure didn't even turn to look at the ancestor of the Huang Family.

Instead, he seemed to be focused on Huang Xie the entire time.

"Not bad, not bad. It seems like you've awakened some kind of special physique which allows you to fight those at a higher level of cultivation. I had given up on your Huang Family, but it seemed that there was something special about you. You raised quite the fine avenger."

The scratchy voice said with a chuckle that seemed to grate on one's nerves.

The ancestor of the Huang Family was shocked to hear this before revealing a strange look.

The way that he looked at the short cloaked figure, it was as if…

"Child, follow me from now on. I'll let you rule over the Huang Family as you want or if you don't care about the Huang Family, you can follow me to new heights. I can even help you join one of the Five Great Sects."

It was just as the ancestor of the Huang Family feared.

He and the Huang Family were being abandoned…or mainly it was him who was being abandoned by the short cloaked figure.

"Sir envoy, this…"

Before he could say anything else, he felt a pressure fall onto him that pushed him into the ground. When he was pushed into the ground like this, he just wasn't able to say a single thing as his face was pushed down.

The short cloaked figure didn't even look at the ancestor of the Huang Family as he did this, his attention was on Huang Xie the entire time.

"Child, what do you say?" The short cloaked figure said in a tempting voice.

But Huang Xie didn't need to answer at all.

After all, there was someone behind him that would take care of this short cloaked figure.

In the first place, the whole plan was to use Huang Xie charging into the Huang Family manor to lure this person out. Now that this person had been lured out, that meant that it was time for Lin Fan to take action.

"Are you trying to steal my disciple?"

As soon as these were said, there was a ball of ice that flew out at the short cloaked figure.

The short cloaked figure raised his cane to block that ball of ice that came at him, but then he couldn't help taking two steps back. His expression couldn't be seen, but based on the fact that he trembled after he stabilized himself, it was clear that he was surprised by the fact that he had been pushed back like this.

"Who is it?" The short cloaked figure said in a heavy voice as he turned his head around.

As if responding to this, Lin Fan appeared behind Huang Xie in a similar cloak and placed one hand on his shoulder.

Then looking at the short cloaked figure, Lin Fan asked, "Who are you to try and steal my disciple? Do you think that you're worthy of taking him?"

"Ha, someone like you thinks that you're better than the Five Great Sects? Aren't you asking for death?" The short cloaked figure said this while laughing at Lin Fan.

Lin Fan didn't seem disturbed at all as he said, "That's only if you can represent the Five Great Sects, but can you do that? You're nothing more than one of the dogs of the Five Great Sects, you're not even close to being able to speak for them."

The short cloaked figure trembled upon hearing this, as if he was triggered by these words.

Then raising his cane, there was a slash of sword energy that suddenly flew out at Lin Fan.

The cane itself shattered apart to reveal that there was a sword in the center of the cane.

But with a wave of his hand, there was a barrier of water that appeared in front of Lin Fan. When the sword energy slammed into the barrier of water, there was no hesitation at all as it was shattered by the barrier of water.

"Tch, it seems that all you know how to do is hole up like turtles. It seems like none of you has trained anything but your defenses." The short cloaked figure said in a voice that seemed to be filled with disdain.

But as this was said, the short cloaked figure was already moving.

That short cloaked figure quickly made their way behind Lin Fan and Huang Xie.

Only he didn't just move during this time, he also swung his sword while he moved.

This caused many different slashes to fly out at Lin Fan and Huang Xie.

The problem was that none of them were able to do a single thing to the water barrier that was around them. No matter how the sword slashes landed on the water barrier, it was as if it didn't have any effect at all.

That was just how strong the water barrier was.

Even after seeing the might of this water barrier, the short cloaked figure didn't seem to give up on attacking as he continued slashing his sword. But while this was happening, it was almost as if there was something gathering around the short cloaked figure.

It was as if the more that he slashed, the more energy gathered around him.

It was clear that there was a powerful attack that was about to come.

Only before he could release it, the small cloaked figure found that there was something that suddenly fell onto him.

It was this strange pressure.

This wasn't the pressure that would come from being suppressed by the aura of a stronger expert, this was a different kind of power that seemed to be dragging him down into the ground.

The small cloaked figure had no choice but to land on the ground while being surrounded by that energy.

The small slashes stopped and it seemed like the final slash was about to come.

It seemed that the small cloaked figure realized that something was wrong, so he was going to end it in one blow.

But then there were black flames that appeared from under the small cloaked figure.

The only thing that the small cloaked figure could do was release the power that was being stored in a single slash around himself.

That single slash pushed back the black flames that had appeared around him, but it didn't make them completely disappear.

"What is this?" The small cloaked figure said in a frustrated voice.

Lin Fan on the other hand looked very calm with the way that he stood there.

With a chuckle, he said, "It seems that the spy that the Wu Empire sent isn't that strong. It seems that they're underestimating our Mu Empire."

The moment that he said this, there was only silence that lingered in the air.

The small cloaked figure stopped panicking over the black flames that were around him and turned to look at Lin Fan.

After that long silence, he asked, "How did you know?"
