With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

With the speed that Ye Qing Huan went at, it wasn't hard for them to catch up to the group from the Tang Family and the Falling Willow Temple.

Even though they were supposed to be enemies, it seemed like they were sticking together for this.

It seemed that they recognized that they wouldn't be able to face these wraiths alone, so they were sticking together to face them together. Their lives were more important than petty grudges right now.

Though there was a problem that occurred because they were sticking together.

Before this, the Tang Family group was facing one group of wraiths while the Falling Willow Temple group was facing another group of wraiths.

Now that they had gathered together like this, the wraiths that were chasing them had doubled all of a sudden.

So they were now facing twice as many wraiths as before.

Even if there were two groups of people, this made it much worse since the wraiths were working together. After all, it didn't seem like the Tang Family group and the Falling Willow Temple group got along with each other.

They were working together to a certain extent, but it was impossible for them to completely trust each other right away.

They had been enemies up to this point and were fairly guarded against each other.

It was only out of necessity that they were working with each other.

"You foolish monks should block them while we attack."

"You barbaric swordsman should clear the path for us peaceful monks."

That was the arguing that was happening between them as they ran.

It didn't seem like either of them was willing to take the lead in facing the wraiths out of fear that the other group would run off and leave them with the wraiths.

So the only thing that they could do was run.

The strange thing was that…the wraiths weren't able to keep up with these two groups.

The Falling Willow Temple monks had some members that had ice forming on them, which showed that they had been attacked by these wraiths before.

Even if they had been running, it wasn't as if they had been able to outrun the wraiths completely and were attacked from time to time.

So it was strange that they were able to keep ahead of the wraiths now.

Or it would have been if Lin Fan didn't know what was happening.

It was clear that Ye Qing Huan was deliberately controlling the wraiths so that they wouldn't catch up to them. Though he had no idea why she was doing all of this.

All he knew was that it seemed like she was leading them in some place.

After all, whenever they seemed to go in a direction that she didn't want them to go, she would have the wraiths move to the side as if they were about to flank them. When the Falling Willow Temple and the Tang Family group saw this, they would immediately move accordingly to avoid the wraiths.

That meant that they would head in the direction that Ye Qing Huan wanted them to head in.

It was almost like she was a shepherd that was guiding the sheep that were these people.

It didn't seem like the Falling Willow Temple and the Tang Family missed what Ye Qing Huan, or rather the wraiths were doing as they sent some people out from time to time to provoke the wraiths.

This always resulted in a large group of wraiths coming forward to push these stragglers back to where the main group was.

It was as if Ye Qing Huan didn't want to let a single person out of this trap that she set for them.

It was strange that they didn't seem to push more than just a few simple attempts at probing.

It was almost as if the Falling Willow Temple and the Tang Family group didn't seem to care that much that they were currently being corralled by Ye Qing Huan.

Or it seemed that they had some kind of plan.

Even though they tried to deviate from the path that Ye Qing Huan set for them from time to time, it seemed like they were going in a general direction. This was the same general direction that Ye Qing Huan was guiding them, though they did try to go a different path from time to time.

They didn't seem like they had given up all hope even though they were being chased by these wraiths.

They seemed like they still had a trick up their sleeves.

Perhaps there was something that was in this forest that they were relying on…

Or that was what Lin Fan thought until he heard the sounds of fighting coming from not far away.

It seemed that there were more people that were fighting in this forest.

The moment that the Falling Willow Temple and Tang Family group heard these sounds of fighting, they charged in that direction. There was no hesitation in their movements, it was as if they were completely certain that whatever was there would be what they were looking for.

Lin Fan couldn't help finding this strange, so he started paying more attention to the sounds of fighting coming from in front.

He found that these sounds were strange, it didn't sound like any kind of fighting that he heard before.

As they came closer and closer, he could hear it more clearly.

It was obvious that whoever was fighting in front of them was using some kind of strange technique.

Finally, the Falling Willow Temple and the Tang Family group broke through the brush to where the sounds of fighting were coming from.

It was a group of people that were surrounded in wraiths just like the Falling Willow Temple and the Tang Family groups had been before, but it didn't seem like they were pressed by the wraiths like they had been.

This group was surrounded by a bright yellow flame that seemed to be keeping the wraiths at bay, but it also seemed like that was all that it was capable of doing. The flames didn't seem strong enough to completely destroy the wraiths, even if they did burn parts of the wraith away from time to time.

The most important thing was that these flames seemed like they were capable of harming the wraiths.

That was because there was something special about these flames.

These were yang energy flames, which were the perfect counter for these wraiths that were made of yin energy.

The Falling Willow Temple and the Tang Family group didn't hesitate to charge at the group that was surrounded by the flames.

That group was caught off guard by the appearance of the Falling Willow Temple and the Tang Family group. They were even more caught off guard by the wraiths that this group brought with them.

However, they still opened up a hole in this wall of flames for this group to enter the formation.

Or at least they did for those from the Tang Family.

For those that came from the Falling Willow Temple, the flame seemed to form spears before suddenly flying out at them.

The monks from the Falling Willow Temple weren't surprised at all to see these flame spears flying at them. All they did was gather up their golden barrier around them to block the spears that were coming in their direction.

The flame spears slammed into the golden barrier and then…they scattered apart.

They didn't disappear even after scattering, but rather they seemed to gain a new golden glow as they spread as small flames in all directions around the monks that were hit by the flame spears.

These small flames spread across the wraiths around the monks as waves of flames and…the wraiths weren't able to take it.

There were some wraiths that were able to escape in the end, but most of the wraiths that had suddenly been covered in the flames started to fade away as if they were being melted by the flames that covered them.

It seemed that this clash had made the flames that composed the spears stronger and then scattered them across the wraiths around the monk.

In a way, this was a combination move that combined the powers of the ones that wielded the flame spears and the monks of the Falling Willow Temple.

This was not an attack that could have been made without knowing each other's powers, so it was clear that whoever these people controlling the flames were, they knew the monks of the Falling Willow Temple.

Not only did they know the monks, they should also know what kind of power the monks had to not use attacks that were too strong. They had to adjust their power so that it would work with the unique defenses of the monks to create this reaction.

This fake clash had turned into a powerful attack that cleared out a large area of wraiths, but the ones following the Falling Willow Temple and the Tang Family group came forward to make up for it.

It seemed that they wouldn't allow this group to have any rest at all.

This gap was all that was needed by the monks to jump into the flame barrier.

While watching all of this, Ye Qing Huan suddenly said, "Spirit Hall, they are a group that gathers those that want to train in cultivation and shares information with each other."

Lin Fan didn't understand what she meant by this at first, but then he quickly figured out what she meant by this.
