With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

Chapter 493 Detour in Dungeon City

?

General Lu could see the look on their faces, but he just calmly said, "His majesty will personally tell you everything. You will be able to see him soon."

Both Lin Fan and Mu Bao Bao revealed confused looks again.

General Lu continued, "We will be escorting you to the capital next so that he can make the announcement that your highness will be the heir to the throne. As well as declaring a new era for the Mu Empire."

This time, Lin Fan and Mu Bao Bao knitted their brows.

The only orders that they had received was to follow General Lu and exterminate the Gale Sect, there wasn't anything written there about following General Lu to the capital.

The capital was the last place that they wanted to go since that would mean getting caught up in all of the politics of the Mu Empire. They just wanted to live a simple life away from everything.

But at the same time, they had already agreed to go through with this plan with Emperor Mu.

Seeing the hesitation that they had on their faces, General Lu said, "Your highness, his majesty has told me that I must bring you back with me. I ask that you do not make this hard for me."

Both of them narrowed their eyes to look at General Lu, but General Lu didn't back down in the face of this.

General Lu just looked back at them with a calm look on his face, as if he didn't intend to take back what he had just said.

At the same time, they couldn't help looking at Elder Jian who was still floating there in the air. They could see the same calm look on his face, making it clear that his intentions were the same as General Lu's.

Since these two had already made their stances clear, then there was no going against it.

But that didn't mean that they had no options left.

Lin Fan just cleared his throat and said, "Alright, we'll come with you."

Hearing this, General Lu's expression relaxed a bit.

After all, he wanted to serve Mu Bao Bao, but doing something like this would certainly leave a bad impression on her. So he hoped that she wouldn't struggle and make things worse since he had no choice in this matter.

However, Lin Fan then said, "But there's a condition."

General Lu immediately knitted his brows as he asked, "What condition?"

"We have to make a stop in Dungeon City first." Lin Fan said in a firm voice.

General Lu's brows relaxed as he revealed a confused and surprised look. But then he asked, "What do you want to stop there for?"

Lin Fan simply said, "We need to go back and repair the truck. I don't know what will happen, so I want to have it available when we're in the capital."

General Lu narrowed his eyes as he looked at Lin Fan, but in the end, his expression relaxed and he gave a nod as he said, "Alright, that's fine."

He did have orders to bring Mu Bao Bao to the capital, but it was fine to take a detour since the orders didn't say to bring Mu Bao Bao right away.

He was certain that Emperor Mu still had many things to take care of after taking down all of these sects, so he wouldn't be prepared for the announcement just yet. Taking this detour to Dungeon City wouldn't matter since they would still have plenty of time to arrive in the capital.

At the same time, if this detour meant that there was another trump card on Mu Bao Bao's side, then it was worth it.

He had seen the power of the truck and knew that this thing couldn't be underestimated.

Not to mention, he had seen that this thing could be driven and ridden in.

If Mu Bao Bao had this vehicle if she ever needed to escape, he didn't need to doubt that it would be able to keep her safe.

He had seen it crushing through all those attacks before after all.

With this settled, they didn't bother staying in the ruins of this Gale Sect any longer.

Everything valuable had been gathered and the grounds had been razed, so it was time to head back to Dungeon City.

The path to Dungeon City was on the way to the capital, so it really was just a small detour to head to Dungeon City. But of course, it was hard for all of General Lu's troops to come along with them to Dungeon City.

So in the end, General Lu sent his troops to one of the army's outposts nearby while he came with them to Dungeon City to make sure they didn't run away.

This was definitely a relief for Lin Fan since with the size of this army, it would have cost him an arm and a leg to feed them. Even if he was rich, it wasn't as if he wanted to spend money on things that he didn't want to spend money on.

When they arrived, it was the middle of the night, so they were able to easily enter the city without a fuss.

With them were the city's guards and the members of the Love Sect, but they quickly left after an order from Lin Fan.

Then…Lin Fan left Mu Bao Bao with General Lu and Elder Jian.

Yes, Elder Jian had also followed them to Dungeon City which was the most surprising thing of all.

Mu Bao Bao had an unwilling look on her face as this happened, but she knew that this was the only way that they would be able to discuss without General Lu and Elder Jian following them. The two of them were clearly here just to make sure that she didn't run away, so they would stay put as long as she stayed put.

Though judging by the way that Elder Jian looked at the dungeon, it was clear that he was curious about it.

Still, he stayed put since Mu Bao Bao didn't go anywhere.

When Lin Fan returned to the manor, he found that all of the girls that remained in Dungeon City were already gathered.

They had received the report from the gate guards, so they quickly pulled him into the special room before letting out the ones in the Minor Realm.

Then they forced him to sit down and explain everything that happened.

Lin Fan told them about the destruction of the Gale Sect before also telling them that he had to make another trip to the capital.

When they heard this, all of them knitted their brows.

Lin Fan didn't say anything as he waited for Yue Lan and Ming Xin's analysis.

He knew that they were much smarter than him, so he relied on them at times like this to help him come up with plans.

But in the end, both of them shrugged their hands and gave sighs to show that they didn't know anything. This was just beyond their ability to analyze since they didn't have the information for it.

Even if Yue Lan had built an information network across the entire Mu Empire already, it still wasn't deep enough that it would be able to obtain this kind of information.

Yue Lan said with a sigh, "It seems like Emperor Mu trusts the force that he's won over…but what gives him this kind of trust? It must be some kind of connection that we don't know about, so I can't give any good advice."

Ming Xin nodded to show that she agreed with this.

Lin Fan also nodded before saying, "But a force that can compete with the Five Great Sects…That's not something that can be taken lightly."

Everyone just fell silent at that.

No one here was a fool and they could tell that this had become much more dangerous than they had thought. If they were to get out of this safely, they needed much more information.

It was just too bad that it was impossible to get that information without taking risks.

Lin Fan gave a clap and said, "For now, we'll just leave this matter at this. There's nothing to gain from empty speculations that just make us even more worried."

Ming Xin and Yue Lan both nodded in agreement to this.

In a situation like this, the best thing that they could do was keep a calm mind and deal with things as they came.

Then Lin Fan said, "I'll go with Mu Bao Bao to the capital as planned then. I'll see if there's anything that I can find."

When they heard this, all of them revealed worried looks.

But those worried looks became more serious as he said, "I'll be leaving the Minor World here as well. You will all stay here and digest the resources from the Gale Sect. You have to grow stronger during this time."

Yue Lan immediately stood up and said, "What are you saying? You need to take the Minor World with you just in case anything happens. Otherwise, how will you escape when something dangerous happens?"

The others all agreed on this since they knew that the Minor World was basically a get out of jail free card. Hiding in the Minor World made one almost impossible to find unless the other side was a cultivator at the highest levels.

Even Elder Jian hadn't been able to detect the Minor World and he was a Soul Formation Realm Cultivator.

So with this, at least Lin Fan would be able to escape.

But Lin Fan shook his head and said, "I have something even better than that."

That was true since he still had his Pet Storage Space.

When it came to hiding the Pet Storage Space was much greater than the Minor World. It was just that he never used it before because he was afraid of exposing it.

But in this situation, it would be too late for regret if he didn't use it now.

All of them couldn't help revealing looks of doubt when they heard this since they knew that there was nothing that could be better than the Minor World.

However, they remembered all the different amazing things that he had already shown them…

So they had no choice but to trust him when he said that he had something better.

But they were still worried about him because they loved him.

In the end, Yue Lan took the lead by saying, "Be careful. I don't know what I would do if anything happened to you." Then after saying this, she came forward to hug him.

The others all nodded before coming forward, though they did seem a bit unhappy with Yue Lan for getting the jump on them.

Lin Fan could feel their love as they hugged him, so he said in a soft voice, "I will."
