Chapter 1331: City In A Stomach

An indefinite amount of time later, a massive figure suddenly appeared outside of the Yin Horse Carriage.

The figure was a savage-looking ghoul with bull horns, a horse face, and a human body. Yin fire surrounded it, and its stomach was bulging like it was ten months pregnant. It didn’t look amusing though. On the contrary, it looked even more sinister and horrifying than before.

The ghoul was walking aimlessly along a vast, seemingly boundless land. Wherever it went, yin fire spread everywhere and destroyed mountains, dried rivers, and killed all living things. It was a walking world burner.

However, the Yin Horse Carriage did not change directions. On the contrary, it flew straight toward the ghoul.

“Young master...”

Papersmith was caught off guard and worried by this.

It’s not trying to commit suicide with us, is it?

“Wait.”

Ye Qing motioned for Papersmith to keep calm. If the Yin Horse Carriage really was planning to commit suicide with them, then he wouldn’t have given them a Yin Carriage Token at all.

That said, Ye Qing still held the Earthly Sovereign Bell. Just in case.

The next moment, the Yin Horse Carriage flew straight into the yin fire surrounding the ghoul.

The Yin Horse Carriage was an ant compared to the ghoul. Therefore, the yin fire surrounding it was like the sea. It looked positively endless from the Yin Horse Carriage’s perspective.

And yet, the yin flames surrounding the ghoul failed to do any harm to the Yin Horse Carriage whatsoever. It was because the black fog surrounding the Yin Horse Carriage perfectly insulated it from the flames.

Naturally, Ye Qing and Papersmith felt no discomfort either.

A moment later, a massive city entrance suddenly entered Ye Qing’s view. The words “Void Stomach City” were written on it.

“The Void Stomach City... is the stomach of the ghoul?!”

Ye Qing and Papersmith exchanged a glance of undisguised shock. Not only that, the massive city entrance they saw was really the ghoul’s belly button.

The entrance to Void Stomach City had no gates. The yin fire covering the entrance was particularly thick as well. The yin fire covering the ghoul was light green in color, but the one covering the entrance was so thick that it looked dark green in color. Its power was such that even the black fog protecting the Yin Horse Carriage was compressed to just a meter or two. This time, both Ye Qing and Papersmith felt like they were being burned or corrupted by the yin flame.

A dozen or so breaths later, the dark green flames outside the horse carriage became much fainter. At the same time, Ye Qing and Papersmith could vaguely see buildings behind the flame.

It was at this moment Yin Horse Carriage came to a stop. The black fog stirred, and Ye Qing felt both a mental thought and a familiar stir of teleportation power.

“Alright, thank you.”

This time, Ye Qing did not resist. After he thanked the Yin Horse Carriage, the black fog enveloped him and Papersmith and, as if time and space itself were flipped, they abruptly appeared outside the Yin Horse Carriage.

“Thank you a—”

Ye Qing turned around and was about to thank the Yin Horse Carriage again when suddenly, he was interrupted by many urgent cries of joy and madness.

“It’s the Yin Horse Carriage...”

“The Yin Horse Carriage has arrived! We must leave, now!” “Haha, I’m going to leave this place, I’m finally going to leave this heaven forsaken place...”

“Get lost! The Yin Horse Carriage is mine! Mine!”

“All of you, die! Only I can leave! This is my right!”

“I’ll kill you all!”

......

At the same time, a group of humans—or at least, that was the term Ye Qing was going to use until he thought of a better one—swarmed out from every nook and cranny and charged toward the Yin Horse Carriage.

Why wasn’t Ye Qing sure? Because they looked very different from your ordinary human despite speaking human and boasting a humanoid figure.

For example, a person’s forehead was split open by a third eye.

A person’s tongue had another mouth, so it looked as if they had two mouths.

A person had arms growing under their ribs and wings behind their backs. They also had hoofs for legs.

A person’s face was horribly scarred, and scarlet flesh buds were growing within the scars.

A person had tumors growing out of their shoulders, and those tumors had an eyebrow and an eye. They looked human and alive.

These were just the people who still looked human. Some did not even look like humans anymore.

For example, there was a guy whose entire body was overgrown with slimy tentacles, dirty and disgusting.

There was a human-faced dog who ran on all fours.

There was a flesh ball that was covered in arms.

There was a person whose face was completely missing, but there was a face at the back of their head.

There was a person whose body was mangled and twisted like withered trees, horrific and ghoulish.

In Ye Qing’s demonic thought, every single one of these people were human. Were. They had turned into this because of corruption.

Of course, appearance wasn’t the only thing that had changed about them. Their mind and spirit seemed to have been warped as well.

For starters, these people were killing each other for the right to enter the Yin Horse Carriage.

The man overgrown with tentacles was swinging his tentacles everywhere, sending everyone in the vicinity flying and breaking their muscles and bones.

The man with a faceful of flesh buds were spreading them everywhere like they were locusts. Anyone touched by the flesh buds would instantly be pierced and devoured from the inside out.

As for the flesh ball that was covered in arms, its arms were like thorny spikes. It rolled back and forth and crushed everyone in its way into paste or pincushions.

......

In just the blink of an eye, flesh and blood smeared the ground like mud, and corpses were everywhere.

Since Ye Qing wasn’t sure what was going on, he did not stop the bloody riot immediately. Instead, he hid his aura and retreated just like Papersmith.

“Hahaha... I got on! I can finally get out! I can finally leave!”

It was at this moment the man with arms on his ribs and wings on his back reached the Yin Horse Carriage. His wings were what allowed him to move the fastest out of everyone.

As soon as the man boarded the Yin Horse Carriage, a black fog swept him away, and the four old horses whinnied loudly. Then, they began pulling the Yin Horse Carriage toward the exit.

“No! Don’t leave! Don’t leave!”

“Wait! I want to get on! I haven’t gotten on yet!”

The departure of the Yin Horse Carriage made those who failed to get on first even crazier. Their screams were hoarse and tragic as they chased after the Yin Horse Carriage.

Unfortunately, they all burst into dark green yin flames as soon as they got close to the city entrance.

“Argghhhhhhh!!!”

The victims immediately screamed in pain. Their voices were hoarse and painful.

The dark green flames seemed to be inflicting an unimaginable amount of pain to them. They were rolling back and forth on the ground and screaming endlessly.

There seemed to be nothing they could do to save themselves. They could neither extinguish the yin fire nor abate the pain tormenting them. Even death seemed to be a luxury as they screamed and rolled and screamed some more, yet never dying.

“What a pitiful fate this is...”

Ye Qing shook his head and said to Papersmith, “Let’s go.”

“Save me... please... save me...”

Right before Ye Qing and Papersmith would leave, they suddenly heard a cry from behind them.

“Huh? Someone noticed us?”

Ye Qing was surprised. Although these people were corrupted into all kinds of horrifying-looking monsters, even the strongest of them were just a Spirit Master. Logically speaking, it should be impossible for them to spot him and Papersmith. And yet, they had. Naturally, he was quite surprised.
