With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

Duanmu Yi had sent them off, but it was clear by the look on her face that she had wanted to come with them. However, Lin Fan would never allow that since this was not a fun trip, but rather a dangerous one.

Not to mention that they were going out to kill people.

She was still a young girl, he didn\'t want to expose her to that kind of stuff yet, even if this was that kind of world. He wanted to protect her innocence for as long as he could, but it was just too bad that she had long lost it…He just didn\'t know that she had.

As for Lala coming along, she was only still in the Fifth Qi Gathering Realm, so she was weaker than the enemies that were coming. However, with her body cultivation technique, she was still able to fight someone in the Sixth Qi Gathering Realm, which was why Lin Fan felt assured in letting her come.

But of course, the biggest assurance was Mu Bao Bao, this Golden Core Realm Cultivator.

She had only spent a single day with these girls and she was already getting along with them like they were sisters…

Lin Fan really couldn\'t help admiring how quickly she adapted.

They quickly headed off in a carriage that was pulled by Hi, which allowed them to move faster than most other carriages. It only took them around a day to reach the location that they had chosen for their ambush.

This was a small village that was in between Sunset City and the dungeon town and no matter which route one took, they would have to pass through this village. So they were certain that the Sheng Family group that was coming would pass through here.

Of course, with their difference in speed and the geography, they arrived at the village much faster than the Sheng Family group.

The problem with that was that the village was much closer to the town than Lin Fan wanted, but he had no other choice. There was no other place where all the different paths gathered like this, so this was the only place that they could safely set up the ambush.

If they had set it up anywhere else, it was a toss up on whether the Sheng Family group would pass by there.

So even if he didn\'t like how close it was, he had no choice but to set up the trap here.

Based on the timeline, there was still around a day or two before the Sheng Family group arrived, so they still had plenty of time. But to ensure that nothing went wrong, even though it was already evening when they arrived, they already started scouting out the area for a suitable place to hold an ambush.

It didn\'t take them long since there wasn\'t much around this area, it was nothing more than a normal village. So it took very little time to actually find a place for the trap.

The village didn\'t have a place like an inn since it was just a small village, so they camped out in the forest in the end. Though if he wanted, he could have used the Pet Storage Space, but he still hadn\'t told Tian Tian and Mu Bao Bao about that yet.

The next morning, they went to talk to the village chief about hiring a few people to watch the road for them. While the village chief was confused why they wanted this, after showing their Mercenary License and giving him a sparkling gift, the village chief immediately closed his mouth and helped them.

Lin Fan couldn\'t help giving a secret sigh as he thought, "Money really does make the world go round…"

The rest of the day was spent planning the trap and getting everything ready.

As they expected, they received the report that the Sheng Family group arrived the next day and they immediately took their positions, waiting for them to arrive.

…

The Sheng Family group traveled along the road in silence.

At the head of this group was the same servant who had appeared by young master Sheng\'s side at the auction all those months ago. However, he looked completely different compared to before…

Gone was the youthful look that he once had, now he looked like he had aged by several decades in an instant. His hair was already turning white and there were wrinkles all over his face, but there was no mistaking the aura that was around him.

He was still in the Seventh Qi Gathering Realm.

He was the leader of this group that had been sent to the dungeon town, but instead of saying that they were sent to the dungeon town, it should be said that they had been dragged here by him.

The other subordinates of the Sheng Family clearly weren\'t as enthusiastic about going to the dungeon town as this servant of young master Sheng, but they had no choice but to follow his orders when they were shown young master Sheng\'s token.

This was the personal token of young master Sheng, it represented a status that they couldn\'t ever go against.

So they had no choice but to follow the servant.

This servant\'s name was Yu Song and he was one of the main servants under young master Sheng. They recognized this, so they never doubted young master Sheng\'s token that they were shown.

Though with the way Yu Song looked, he clearly didn\'t seem like a servant of the Sheng Family.

In addition to the fact that he looked like he had aged quite a bit, his clothing was also in quite the sorry state. It was as if he didn\'t care about what happened to him or what he looked like anymore.

But there was a flame that burned in his eyes, a flame that almost seemed to show his rage against the world. It was as if he wanted to take revenge on the entire world…

When their group arrived in the village, it was already evening, but Yu Song wouldn\'t let the group rest.

The members of the Sheng Family group were clearly tired after the rushed way that they had been traveling, but Yu Song didn\'t care about any of that. He just took out the token of young master Sheng and showed it to everyone.

In front of this token, there was nothing that these people could say.

So they could only grumble a bit, but they had their carriage continue past the village without stopping for a second.

What they didn\'t notice was that there were eyes that were watching them. After these eyes saw them pass by the village, they sent a bird with a message out and then returned to their lives.

This bird flew off, going faster than the carriages and landing somewhere in the forest ahead of the carriage, landing on the hand of someone who was waiting there.

The carriage quickly moved across the road, but a while after they left the village, they suddenly stopped as there was something on the road that was blocking their path.

There were several tree logs that were placed across the road, blocking the path for anyone that wanted to go through.

When the members of the Sheng Family group saw this, they weren\'t surprised or afraid at all. They knew that this was a common trick used by bandits to stop people from crossing the road, but for common bandits to steal from them, weren\'t they just crazy?

All of the members of the Sheng Family group were cultivators and not to mention that the weakest among them was in the Sixth Qi Gathering Realm. Just the weakest among them was not someone that a normal bandit could face and they wanted to rob them?

This was going to be a joke.

So after stopping in front of the fallen logs, the members of the Sheng Family group waited for the appearance of the bandits that would follow. However, to their surprise, there wasn\'t a single bandit that appeared.

Even after waiting for a few minutes, there was no one that appeared around them.

The Sheng Family group couldn\'t help knitting their brows when they saw this.

Could it be that this wasn\'t a bandit raid, but rather just a normal accident?

But if that was the case, where did these logs come from?

They couldn\'t help feeling a bad premonition as this thought passed through their mind, but they weren\'t able to find anything strange around them. It was like there wasn\'t a single person near them at all.

So just what was happening?

But since nothing happened, Yu Song didn\'t let them stay idle. After all, he was in a rush to reach the dungeon town to find Xiao Yue, so he couldn\'t just be stopped here.

So with a single order, the members of the Sheng Family group got out of their carriage and started moving the logs in the road.

With their cultivation, it was easy for them to move the logs. However, this was a very noisy thing to do and with the noise and work distracting them, they didn\'t notice the strange changes around them.

As they were lifting the logs, there was water gathering in the space above them and the temperature around them dropped.
