With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods-Chapter 216 Final Battle (3)
Back in the present.
Lin Fan had checked out the entire area and he still wasn't able to find a single trace of the Foundation Realm Cultivators.
He had even learned from his experience and had even checked underground with the moles for any structures that they could have built. They were able to build that large research facility underground, so small structures to hide in would be simple for them.
Unfortunately, he wasn't able to find a single thing.
It was as if they weren't here at all.
Since he didn't have a choice, he could only give up searching for now since it was time for him to meet up with the owner of the bar and the others.
The place that they were gathering was a place that they had found a few days ago, it was a cave that was near the village that the experiment was happening in.
The Flying Feather Organization had found this and had been sending supplies here for the mission ahead of time.
He saw that there were two guards at the entrance of this cave, but they allowed him to go through without hesitation. These guards were from the Flying Feather Organization, so naturally they recognized Lin Fan.
When he arrived, the first face that he saw was a familiar one that he hadn't seen in a while.
It was Tian Xue from Sunset City.
She was the trump card that he had been relying on.
This was a matter that involved not only his dungeon town which she was involved in, but also a matter that involved a person that she very much disliked. She really wanted to see Ming Ze taken down so that he would stop bothering her, so she came to help Lin Fan.
Of course, it would be a lie to say that her personal feelings weren't involved.
This was her little sister's man and it involved her little sister's future, so as the big sister, she would naturally come and help.
Not to mention that she was disgusted by the information that she had received from Lin Fan.
It was just too bad that headquarters couldn't be brought into this matter or she would have brought down the hammer on the branch in Brilliant Light City. 𝗳𝒓𝚎e𝚠𝒆𝐛𝐧𝐨v𝚎Ɩ.co𝓶
Lin Fan secretly let out a sigh of relief when he saw her.
He wasn't sure if she would come, but now that she was here, everything was looking better.
He came up to her and said, "Thank you for coming."
Tian Xue just replied with a smile, "Of course."
Lin Fan then started looking around the room, looking for an unfamiliar face, but he wasn't able to find one in the end.
The reason why he was looking for an unfamiliar face was because the owner of the bar said that he also had someone that he could call for help. He knew most of the people in the Flying Feather Organization even though they wore black because of his Appraisal Eyes.
So if there was someone that he didn't know, then that person would be the help that the owner of the bar called.
But since he didn't see this unfamiliar face, that meant that the help the owner of the bar called wasn't here…
This wasn't a good sign.
The owner of the bar came over and saw Lin Fan looking around, so he said, "He's already here, but he's not going to move with us. He will only help when it's absolutely necessary, that is the deal we've made with him."
Lin Fan knitted his brows when he heard this.
A helper that would only help on a certain condition, this kind of help definitely wasn't reliable…
The owner of the bar naturally knew this as well, so he gave a sigh and said, "This was the only way we could get his help."
Lin Fan could see the difficult look on his face, so he just nodded without saying anything else.
Instead, he changed the topic by asking, "So what do we do now?"
Everyone turned to look at the owner of the bar when they heard this.
The owner of the bar spread his hands and said, "What is there for us to do? We can wander around like headless chickens or we can stay here where we're prepared to make a move at any time."
Everyone looked at each other with bitter smiles, but they knew that he was right.
Lin Fan's ability to scout was much greater than anyone else's here and even then, he wasn't able to find anything.
So if they were to head out now, there would be nothing that they could do.
They at least knew the general location of the experiment, so they could watch nearby and react when necessary.
But before any of them could properly settle in, there was a loud booming sound that suddenly filled the air.
This cave was several kilometers away from the village, but even then, they could still hear this loud booming sound. It was clear that whatever had happened had had quite the large effect.
Lin Fan was about to head out, but before he could take a single step, the owner of the bar suddenly raised a hand to stop him.
The owner of the bar didn't explain anything as he turned to the black clothed figures and gave a nod.
Without any hesitation, they all headed out of the cave and spread out in different directions in four different groups.
Only then did the owner of the bar turn back to say, "You can't go just yet. You need to wait for one of the big prizes to show up before heading out."
Lin Fan settled down after hearing this and he gave a nod.
He knew that the owner of the bar was right.
He was one of the two Foundation Realm Experts that they had, so he couldn't rashly charge into action. He had to wait for the other side to show their Foundation Realm Experts as well before he made a move.
After all, the other side had more Foundation Realm Experts than them. So they had to make sure that they whittled down the enemy forces without suffering too many casualties.
To do this, they had to sacrifice a few of the weaker members to draw out the enemy Foundation Realm Experts.
Lin Fan felt a bit bad about basically sending these people out to die, but this was just how it had to be…
So he sat back down and calmed himself, waiting for the signal to act.
It didn't take long before one of the teams reported in, stating that there was a Foundation Realm Expert that had shown themself.
Lin Fan stood up when he heard this, but once again, the owner of the bar raised a hand to stop him.
Lin Fan knitted his brows as he asked, "Isn't this what we were waiting for?"
The owner of the bar shook his head at him before saying into the Thousand Mile Voice Transmission Talisman, "Use "that" and try to take him down."
Lin Fan knitted his brows even more when he heard this and he asked, "That? What is that?"
The owner of the bar didn't explain as he anxiously waited for a response from the team that had reported in.
After a long period of silence, the team finally reported back saying, "We were able to subdue the Foundation Realm Expert with "that", but we've suffered heavy casualties. We will relay with the other team to coordinate evac."
The owner of the bar let out a sigh of relief when he heard this.
Lin Fan couldn't help asking in a curious voice, "What is "that" that they talked about?"
The owner of the bar turned back and said, "It's a Foundation Realm Array, it's one of the treasures of our Flying Feather Organization. As long as it's used, it can trap someone in the Low Foundation Realm and kill them."
Both Lin Fan and Tian Xue were surprised when they heard this.
The owner of the bar saw this and said with a smile, "If we don't take it out now, when will we get a chance to use it? This is more important than just our Flying Feather Organization."
Lin Fan and Tian Xue both looked at the owner of the bar with looks of admiration.
"Anyway…" Before the owner of the bar could continue, there was another report that came in.
"Report! There's a powerful Foundation Realm Expert chasing the group that just took down the Foundation Realm Expert! Requesting backup!"
Then that was quickly followed by, "It's the Mercenary Guild's president, Ming Ze!"
All three of the people in this cave were shocked when they heard this.
The Mercenary Guild's president Ming Ze was personally acting this early? What was going on here?
Lin Fan stood up and was about to head out, but this time it was Tian Xue that stopped him.
She looked at him and said, "Leave this one to me. I have to take care of this one myself."
Lin Fan looked at her and seeing the firm look in her eyes, he gave a nod in response.
He knew that this wasn't just because of the plan, but because this was something that she needed to settle with Ming Ze and it wasn't his place to interfere.
But before she could leave, there was another report that came in.
"The creature has been spotted heading towards the village! But there's two Foundation Realm Experts guarding it!"
When they heard this, all three of them knitted their brows.
But Lin Fan was the one that stepped up by saying, "Leave them both to me."
Both the owner of the bar and Tian Xue looked at him with concerned looks before the owner of the bar asked, "Are you sure? You just broke through and these are two Foundation Realm Cultivators that have been in the Foundation Realm for a long time."
Lin Fan just nodded and said, "It won't be a problem."
But the owner of the bar couldn't help asking, "Should I ask my helper to make a move?"
Lin Fan shook his head.
Since the helper was confident in making one move without any interference, it was clear that this helper was someone powerful. It was better to save this kind of trump card for when they really needed it.
For now, Lin Fan also had trump cards that he could use against the two Foundation Realm Cultivators.
The owner of the bar still had a worried look, but he gave a nod in response.
Before they left, he said, "Be careful and come back safe."
Tian Xue and Lin Fan both gave nods before heading out of the cave.
