With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

Chapter 1297: As an escort

“What realm?”

Lin Fan was surprised when he received this piece of paper from the elder that came to see him.

The elder just calmly said, “It’s all written on that piece of paper. It’s the first mission that the sect has officially assigned to you, so I hope that you will handle it properly.”

Though the elder acted seriously when he said this, it was clear that there was a look of expectation in his eyes. In the end, he chose not to elaborate and just left without saying anything else to Lin Fan.

So the only thing that Lin Fan could do was read the piece of paper that the elder handed him.

“Lead a group into a newly discovered hidden realm.”

That was the mission that had been assigned to him.

Lin Fan was even more confused since this didn’t seem like the kind of mission that would be assigned to the gardening hall. This seemed like the kind of mission that would be assigned to other disciples that were in the more combat focused halls.

But then again, it wasn’t as if Lin Fan was weak since he was in the gardening hall.

The more that he read about this mission, the more that Lin Fan realized something.

“This is an escort mission…” Lin Fan thought to himself in the terms of his past life.

This certainly wasn’t something that he had been expected to be handed since this was the kind of thing that should have been given to someone that was higher up than him. This was the kind of task that should have been handed over to someone that was an elder.

Even if they were an outer sect elder, they would still have a higher position than him.

Though Lin Fan knew that in terms of power, it wasn’t as if he was weaker than an outer sect elder.

So Lin Fan knew that it wasn’t as if this was some kind of punishment.

As he read more and more about this mission, Lin Fan started to understand more and more why he was being assigned this mission.

“So there are some precious herbs and treasures to find in this secret realm.”

Though he was being made to escort outer sect disciples like an elder would, the most important thing was that he would be able to enter the secret realm.

This was a secret realm that was supposed to only be accessible by the younger generation. This was something that had been agreed upon by the sects that managed it.

It wasn’t the Heavenly Demon Sect that managed it.

It wasn’t even the Five Great Sects that managed it.

But that didn’t mean that the Five Great Sects weren’t involved with this secret realm.

Though they weren’t directly involved, they were still involved in terms of the sects since they were subsidiaries of the Five Great Sects.

So that meant that there were outer sect disciples from the Five Great Sects along with the disciples of these sects heading into the secret realm.

“It seems like they’re really trying to use me to sabotage the other sects.” Lin Fan said to himself with a faint smile on his face, but it wasn’t as if he was against this.

Since he was a part of the Heavenly Demon Sect now, it was only natural that he would do something for the Heavenly Demon Sect.

If he could also get a few treasures while doing this, there certainly wasn’t anything to complain about.

That was why Lin Fan was even looking forward to this escort mission.

…

“Senior Brother Lin, we’re looking forward to working with you.”

The outer sect disciples that Lin Fan had been assigned greeted him the moment that they met him.

There wasn’t a single trace of disrespect that was made towards him.

It seemed that they had long heard the rumours about him and knew of his fame, so there was only respect and a trace of awe in their eyes.

Lin Fan couldn’t even help wondering what they had heard about him that they were looking at him like this. There was no doubt that they must have heard some rumours about him or else they certainly wouldn’t have looked at him like this.

But still, it wasn’t as if this was a bad thing.

Since they were this willing to follow him, it meant that things would be much easier.

“Just follow me and I won’t lead you wrong.”

Their eyes all lit up when they heard this, but they quickly nodded in agreement to what Lin Fan said.

After all, this person was the disciple of the Poison King and was even regarded as the second coming of the Poison King. They didn’t have the chance to meet with him before this, but they knew that he had been trying to recruit people to follow him.

So if they could become his followers now…

There was absolutely nothing to lose from becoming his followers, it was just that they were afraid that they weren’t qualified to do so.

Lin Fan on the other hand didn’t think the same thing.

From his Appraisal Eyes, he was able to see some interesting things from the ones that had been assigned to him. He knew that the elders of the Heavenly Demon Sect were taking special care of him because of what he saw.

After all, the abilities of these outer sect disciples were considered better than what most outer sect disciples should have. They were almost on the same level as the inner sect disciples.

There was no doubt that they would grow up to become powerful members of the Heavenly Demon Sect.

At the same time, Lin Fan could see the way that they looked at him.

He could easily tell that they didn’t have a faction behind them or else they wouldn’t have looked at him like this.

Since they were being offered to him, it would have been rude for him not to accept them.

In the future, he might even be able to turn them into his greatest followers. Though that would depend on what they would be willing to do for him.

There was no reason not to reward loyalty after all.

But this wasn’t the time to be talking about this since they had arrived at the place that they were supposed to arrive in.

When they arrived, they found that they weren’t the only ones that were here. There were a few other groups that had also gathered in this place and it was clear that they hadn’t come here for no reason.

The place that they were gathering in was a bar in the middle of nowhere, so there shouldn’t have been a reason for these people to be here. Unless they were here for a certain something like Lin Fan’s group was.

There wasn’t a single person that greeted them when they arrived and they didn’t greet anyone else. After all, there was no reason for them to greet each other since they were supposed to be rivals on this trip.

After sitting for a while, there were several more groups that arrived at this bar.

It was only when the last group arrived that the bartender suddenly said, “Welcome everyone. This bar has already been rented out, so please have whatever you want before you leave.”

Though he said this in a friendly tone, there wasn’t a single person that ordered anything.

All of them just stared at the bartender as if they were waiting for him to do something.

The bartender didn’t mind this when he saw them looking at him like this, he just simply looked back at them with a smile as if he was waiting for something.

Everyone seemed a bit confused when they saw this, but they didn’t seem to know what to do. So there was only silence that lingered in the air as everyone waited for someone else to make a move.

In the end, it was one of the groups that suddenly came forward to say, “A straight shot.”

The bartender gave a nod before gesturing for them to come behind the bar and then he led them to a secret room in the back.

When this happened, everyone started to understand what was happening and they took turns giving their orders to the bartender.

This was because they had found that there was something that appeared on their orders. This was something that hadn’t been there before and it seemed like it was something that only appeared after they walked into this bar.

It seemed that there was something special about this place that made those words appear.

No one really questioned it since they assumed that it was just part of what was used to keep this secret realm hidden. After all, they all knew that there was a secret realm here since it was what they had come here for.

Though the one thing that they couldn’t help being curious about was the order that they went in by.

No one seemed to recognize the group that had entered first, so they knew that it wasn’t by fame.

So they had no idea why that group was the first that was called in.

It was the same with the second and third group.

It was only when it came to the fourth group that Lin Fan recognized them.

He knew about this group because they had been marked in his package.

This was the group that was sponsored by one of the four righteous sects, specifically the Mount Hua Sword Sect.

But even then, they were the fourth ones to enter the secret realm…
