With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

Once the disciples entered the Love Sect and found their masters, the sect recruitment was finally over.

It was different from last time where the Love Sect held a public sparring session to show off their might.

This time, there was no need for them to do that since everyone already knew the might of the Love Sect. There was no need for them to go out of their way to show them since they had long been convinced.

That meant that instead of hanging around any longer, the representatives of the sects returned to their sects.

When they did, they were shocked to find that things had changed in the Mu Empire.

During the few days that the Love Sect's sect recruitment was being held, everything was normal in the Mu Empire. But the moment that Love Sect's sect recruitment ended, everything suddenly blew up.

That was because there was a piece of news that spread across the empire.

It was the news about the Wu Empire sending spies into the Mu Empire.

It was the news that the Mu Empire had already swept out the spies that had been in hiding across the Mu Empire.

When the representatives from the sects returned to their sects to find this news, they were shocked by who these spies were. That was because the moment that they heard their names, they immediately recognized them.

After all, these were the ones that had gone missing during the Love Sect's sect recruitment.

First there were sects that had been wiped out because they had been spying for the Wu Empire. The representatives from these sects had disappeared during the Love Sect's sect recruitment.

The representatives that remained thought that they had either left or gone to a different place to observe.

But it turned out that they had been caught by the Mu Empire.

Dungeon City was where the empress lived and was the center of the government, so there were many experts of the Mu Empire there. It wasn't strange that the representatives from the sects were subdued that easily.

Currently, the Mu Empire's government controlled most of the powerful cultivators in its territory, so the sects couldn't do anything to them.

Well, perhaps the Love Sect could fight back, but it wasn't as if the Love Sect would ever go against the Mu Empire. Especially with the relationship between the Love Sect's sect master and the Mu Empire's empress.

The other ones that were caught were also familiar since they had seen them during the Love Sect's sect recruitment.

The other ones that were caught were large noble families across the Mu Empire that had existed for a long time.

Since they had existed for so long in the Mu Empire, no one would have thought that they would actually betray the Mu Empire and work for the Wu Empire as spies like this. But anything was possible in this world, especially since people were always greedy for more power and wealth.

If they were offered enough, it made sense that these large noble families would be moved.

The Wu Empire was an empire that was on par with the Mu Empire and had plenty to offer.

As for how the representatives of the sects were familiar with these large noble families, it was because they were the ones that were behind the talented youths that had lost control.

Those talented youths that seemed like they had lost their minds in fear when they looked at the mirror and had been taken away, they all belonged to the large noble families that had been exposed as spies.

There were of course some other large noble families that they didn't recognize, but the ones that they did made one thing clear.

The Love Sect…had been related to the sweep of spies this time.

With all the evidence that was there, it seemed that the Love Sect had even held the sect recruitment this time just to help the Mu Empire sweep out all of these spies.

Everyone knew that the relationship between the Mu Empire and the Love Sect was deep, but no one knew just how deep it was.

After this incident, people knew that the relationship between them was much deeper than they expected.

It could even be said that they were in bed together… Enjoy more content from My Virtual Library Empire

Well, with the relationship between the Love Sect's sect master and the Mu Empire's empress, that might be more true than one thought.

In the future, they would have to be careful of the Love Sect and the Mu Empire…

Especially since the Mu Empire had the ability to find all of these spies in one go.

If they were ever tempted, they would have to avoid the Mu Empire even more seriously.

Though it wasn't as if anyone had the thought to betray the Mu Empire for the Wu Empire.

…

"How did you do it?" Mu Bao Bao asked Lin Fan when they were alone.

They had just finished a meeting with the ministers who had gone over the report on how many spies had been caught and what they had done with the spies. At the same time, there was another report that was about the response from the Wu Empire.

The Wu Empire naturally denied their connection to the spies that they planted and they even claimed that they were being framed by them.

That was why the Wu Empire had requested the Mu Empire to hand these spies over to them to take care of. They promised that they would find out who sent these spies and they would provide the Mu Empire a proper explanation.

Which of course was a lie.

The spies that the Mu Empire had captured had already revealed everything after being tortured.

There were some that were adamant, but there was nothing that they could do against the tricks that Lin Fan had. Even those that tried to keep their mouth shut had no choice but to speak when they were interrogated by Lin Fan.

His methods were a bit strange, but they were certainly effective.

So the Mu Empire wasn't fooled by the words of the Wu Empire.

Though they were surprised that the Wu Empire would go this far to try and save these spies in the first place. They thought that the Wu Empire would just give them up, yet they had come up with this excuse for them.

It seemed that these spies held some value to the Wu Empire.

Only what value did they have?

The only thing that anyone could come up with was the cultivation techniques that the Wu Empire had given these spies. These cultivation techniques weren't that weak, that was how they had been able to convince them to become spies in the first place.

So handing over the spies was basically handing over the cultivation techniques.

That was the only thing of value that the spies had.

And that was related to how Lin Fan had found these spies in the first place.

It was also the reason why he had allowed the noble families to buy their way into the sect recruitment in the first place.

During the first trial where everyone was divided into groups, Lin Fan had been using his Appraisal Eyes to look over the talented youths. With his Appraisal Eyes, he was able to see what cultivation techniques these talented youths from the large noble families had cultivated.

At the same time, because it was a max level skill, he was also able to see the background of these cultivation techniques. That allowed him to figure out which ones were spies and which ones were normal people.

As for how Lin Fan thought of this idea, it was all because of the Huang Family.

When he caught the spy from the Wu Empire in the Huang Family, he noticed that the Huang Family had been cultivating a strange cultivation technique that he didn't recognize. With his Appraisal Eyes, he found that this was a cultivation technique from the Wu Empire.

So with that knowledge, Lin Fan believed that he would be able to do the same thing to find the other spies with this sect recruitment.

Of course, no one would have expected someone like this that would be able to see through cultivation techniques and see where they came from.

So that was why no one knew just how Lin Fan had found all of these spies.

"It was just intuition." Lin Fan said in a modest tone.

Mu Bao Bao narrowed her eyes to look at Lin Fan, showing that she clearly didn't believe him.

But in the end, she didn't push this matter since she was already used to this.

There were many secrets that Lin Fan kept not just from her, but the rest of the girls. While they were hurt because of it, they knew that he had his reason for keeping these secrets.

After a moment of silence, Mu Bao Bao asked, "What are you planning on doing now? Are you finally going to stay here for a bit with us?"

There was almost what seemed to be a trace of bitterness in her voice as she said this.

Lin Fan couldn't help shaking his head with a faint smile when he heard this.

He would have said that he wanted to stay here, but when she said something like this…

It really felt like there was a flag being triggered.

As he had expected…

"The one from the Heavenly Demon Sect is here to see you again."
