Trantor: 549690339
“Yin Ying Ind is situated at the northeasternmost corner of the Misthaven Sea, and Li Fan took about twenty days to get nearby.
The ind isn’trge, nor does it have much vegetation.
Just a square building stands tall on the ind.
From afar, one could faintly hear the screams of human agony carried by the sea breeze.
“Is Yin Yin Shangren here?” Li Fan called out loudly. The sound echoed across the entire ind. But there was no response for a long time.
Li Fan patiently asked again.
Only the chilling howl of the sea wind replied to him.
Li Fan spoke out once more.
Still, there was no answer.
After a moment of contemtion, Li Fan confirmed that he was indeed in the right ce ording to his intuition.
Being cautious, he flew andnded in front of the square building on the ind.
The building appeared to be made from a type of ckish-green stone piled up together. Aside from a big door in the middle, there were no other doors or windows around.
Inside the door was pitch ck, eating not only light, but also divine awareness.
It was impossible to see what was actually inside.
Only intermittent wailing sounds constantly came from within.
This ce felt eerie, causing Li Fan to be extra alert as he slowly walked inside.
Just as he was about to enter, he suddenly heard a frantic sound.
A creature as small as a dog came running out from inside at a great speed, charging straight towards Li Fan.
Li Fan thought it was an attack from an exotic beast and was about to strike it down.
But having pierced it with his divine awareness, he realized that it was just amon little beast.
It wouldn’t be appropriate to kill the pet of the homeowner when visiting.
Hence, Li Fan reached out his hand, held it by the neck, and lifted it up.
The little beast whimpered in surprise and fear, shivering all over.
With a pop sound, an object that the little beast was holding in its mouth dropped to the ground.
Looking at the little beast held close to his face, Li Fan couldn’t help but feel a
chill in his heart.
The little beast looked quite simr to a dog, but its limbs were like human hands.
On its belly, five or six eye-like objects were moving around.
They blinked from time to time, fixated on Li Fan.
“What on earth is this…” Supressing his urge to throw it away, Li Fan held it and ced it behind him.
and slowly walked into the darkness.
A momentter, Li Fan, now ustomed to the darkness, finally saw the scene in front of him.
Contrary to his imagination filled with gloom and horror, the ce was rather neat inside.
The floor was clean and there were no traces of blood.
Scattered within were transparent cages, holding a variety of strange creatures.
All of these bizarre creaturesy listlessly in their cages, and did not seem particrly ferocious.
As someone approached them, they remained indifferent.
The cages appeared to be transparent only from the outside, and the creatures inside could not see out.
Among these strange and peculiar creatures were snakes with two heads that fought each other.
Some looked like arge te, covered with tiny maggots, constantly wavering and floating in water.
Others were clearlyposite creatures of two species, with a sheep’s head and a tortoise’s body.
The most disturbing to Li Fan was a monsterposed of six human heads.
Arm-like appendages grew from the top of each head, embedded into the one below.
In this manner, one head held up another.
And the head at the very bottom had two small hands growing out from its lower end.
This “six-headed hand” monster stood erect, looking like a huge insect, with the small hands at the bottom serving as antennae, crawling around in its cage.
During its crawling, the six heads rotated in various directions, bearing expressionless white faces.
Not even in his worst nightmares had Li Fan ever seen such gross monsters.
Suppressing the difort in his heart, Li Fan only took a quick nce, and quickly moved on.
“I must find you, I must find you…’
Listening carefully, from the depths of the building, a low whisper could be heard on a loop.
Following the sound, Li Fan made his way to arge rectangr transparent
cage.
There were four small cages on both sides, each connected to thisrge cage.
In each small cage, there was one mortal.
They were connected to strange devices.
Something seemed to be moving around inside their bodies. Obvious bulges could be seen moving quickly beneath their skin.
Every time a bulge came to a spot, it would cause the flesh to decay rapidly.
As the bulge moved on, some of these decayed spots slowly healed, while others worsened.
In the blink of an eye, a dark hole formed, exposing the bones inside.
The plight of these mortals was no less than the most brutal execution. They writhed and wailed on the floor.
Some of them had no breath left, only a pool of flesh shaking continuously.
A shadow stood in front of the rectangr transparent cage.
Looking over, Li Fan saw disheveled ck and white hair on his head.
His clothes were sloppy and tattered, as if they hadn’t been changed for many years.
“I must find you, I must find you…”
The figure was spellbound, constantly mumbling while staring at the transparent cage in front of him.
“Yin Yin Shangren?”
He was indeed a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator, and there was no one else here.
Li Fan, maintaining a safe distance, asked.
However, the figure seemed oblivious to his question and didn’t respond at all.
“Woof, woof!”
Just then, the human -handed dog that Li Fan was holding struggled and started barking, as if asking his master for help.
Startled by the dog’s barking, Yin Yin Shangren abruptly turned his head. Looking at Li Fan, he seemed to realize. “Ah! There is a visitor here!”
“Ah! There is a visitor here!”
Still, two voices sounded one after another, echoing inside him before being transmitted outside.
Li Fan’s eyelids twitched.
He released the human-handed dog and said tactfully, “Nice to meet you!”
As soon as the little dognded, it whined and rushed to Yin Yin Shangren’s feet, rubbing his head against him to gain favor.
Yin Yin Shangrenbed his tousled hair, appeared somewhat embarrassed, “I was so engrossed in my thoughts that I didn’t hear your call. Please forgive me!”
Again, two voices echoed in a strange sequence. Yin Yin Shangren kicked the human -handed dog aside.
He warmly spoke to Li Fan, “This is not a good ce to talk. Please, follow me!”
As he spoke, a door on the side swung open, and Yin Yin Shangren walked in.
The human-handed dog barked joyfully and followed.
As Yin Shangren led the way ahead, he seemed to remember something and turned back to speak to Li Fan.
“By the way, I’m not called Yin Yin Shangren.”
“I’m called Yin Shangren.”
“Yin Shangren.”
Two voices sounded one after the other, sounding just like Yin Yin Shangren.
“So that’s what it is.” Li Fan had a sudden realization.
The way the Misthaven Sea cultivators addressed him might have carried a certain mocking tone.
“Greetings, Yin Shangren!” Li Fan greeted once again.
Upon hearing his name correctly pronounced, Yin Shangren was quite pleased..”
