Chapter 1348: Angry Void Stomach City

Ye Qing’s promise settled everyone’s nerves. They all found a suitable corner for themselves, sat down, and rested. They were going to need their strength when it was finally time to leave Void Stomach City.

Two hours came and went in the blink of an eye. By then, over ten thousand people were gathered around Ye Qing.

Although their numbers were numerous, powerful warriors such as Taoist Tiger, Old Buddha, Mountain Water Old Man, Headless Mistress, Rakshasa Ghost King, Lady Bai, Iron Matireya and more were keeping everyone organized and in order.

Still, it was clear from everyone’s hopeful and excited expressions that they could barely wait to get out of here.

“It’s time.”

Ye Qing slowly rose to his feet. When he stood up, everyone instinctively looked at him like he was a brilliant light they could not look away from.

“We shan’t be waiting for those who aren’t here yet.”

The Yin Carriage Token appeared in Ye Qing’s hand before he crushed it.

A wisp of black smoke rose into the air and disappeared into nothing.

A dozen or so breaths later, a series of whinnies came from the distance.

“The Yin Horse Carriage?”

“The Yin Horse Carriage is coming!”

“Haha, senior did not lie to us! We really can get out of here!”

“Hahaha...”

Everyone was excited to hear the whinnies. Even Taoist Tiger, Old Buddha, Mountain Water Old Man and more were beside themselves.

The black fog followed the whinnies and enveloped the area in darkness. Ye Qing’s voice echoed within the fog:

“Take everyone here with you.”

As soon as Ye Qing said this, the black fog began churning violently.

“I’m not negotiating with you. I’m ordering you to follow my command.”

“Is... Is senior negotiating with the Yin Horse Carriage?”

Blinded by the black fog, most people could not see what was happening. They could only guess from Ye Qing’s tone and words.

However, Fang Xiaoman and Gu Suitang were standing closer to Ye Qing and so could see that this was no negotiation at all. It was a one-sided threat.

As soon as Ye Qing said this, the black fog abruptly caught on fire. At the same time, a terrifying aura enveloped heaven and earth and chilled everyone to their core.

Those standing closer to Ye Qing such as Fang Xiaoman, Gu Suitang, Taoist Tiger, Old Buddha and more felt the aura much clearer than everyone else. They turned deathly pale and swayed as if they might collapse at any moment.

At the same time, a blurry-faced man wearing a wove rush raincoat and wielding a horse whip slowly stepped out into the open. His aura was dark and terrifying.

One look at the strange man was enough to burn everyone’s eyes like fire. Their minds in particular felt like they were being ripped into pieces or burned. It was insufferable.

The next moment, ye Qing took one step forward and forced the black fire approaching Fang Xiaoman and the others backward. All of it. At the same time, the silhouette approaching Ye Qing subconsciously took a step backward.

It was as if a pressure had been lifted. The pain and terror gripping everyone abruptly vanished into nothing.

“Are you disobeying me? Did you forget that I’m the possessor of the Yin Carriage Token?”

The silhouette was of course the Yin Coachman.

The Yin Coachman opened his mouth as if saying something.

“You’re saying that doing this would break the rules of Void Stomach City and anger the Void Stomach Ghost King?”

“That is exactly what I want to do. What can he do against me? Cry?”

Ye Qing said with dripping disdain, “Just do what I told you to. Remember, this is a command, not a negotiation.”

Behind the Yin Coachman, black flames burst into the air as the four burning horses whinnied in grief and indignation. They were also stomping the ground and kicking up waves of terrifying black flames.

“Are you going to renege on your promise? Or are you planning to fight me?”

Ye Qing remained unmoved. “I don’t mind. I can dismantle you right now if you want!”

In the end, the Yin Coachman did not challenge Ye Qing. Instead, he retreated into the black flames and vanished along with it.

The black fog churned, and everyone’s vision turned dark for a moment. There was the sensation where time and space were flipped, and when next they came to, they realized that they were standing inside the Yin Horse carriage.

The horses neighed, and the Yin Coachman took to the sky. It charged straight toward the entrance of Void Stomach City.

It was at this moment the entire Void Stomach City started shaking for seemingly no reason whatsoever. At the same time, thick, suffocating malice permeated into the air.

The malice was directed at none other than the Yin Horse Carriage and the people inside it.

As the city shook, the buildings started growing taller and taller like living objects. They were attempting to block the Yin Horse Carriage. It was the same for the mountain ranges and the roads.

That wasn’t all, a bloody sun rose into the sky and cast down the Bloody Wind, Hail of Taint, Black Snow and Rain of Aging all at once. Thick, dark clouds filled the sky with lightning, wind, and fire. Innumerable Strangers also soared into the sky in an attempt to stop the Yin Horse Carriage.

Everyone was stunned by what they were seeing, but they could not see what Ye Qing’s Yin Yang Spell Eyes were showing him.

The shaking city was really a gigantic organ.

The growing houses were really fleshy growths attached to the organ.

The extending mountain ranges were really bulging blood vessels.

The python-like roads were really ugly intestines.

And the bloody sun in the sky was really a bloody heart.

As for the wind, hail, snow and rain, they were internal gas and tainted liquid.

The thick clouds, wind, fire and lightning were blood and gastric acid.

And the innumerable Strangers were bugs and filth infesting the organs.

......

At this point, it became clear that Void Stomach City was a collection of organs belonging to the giant ghoul everyone saw prior to entering the city, the Void Stomach Ghost King.

There was never a city. Void Stomach City had always been the Void Stomach Ghost King’s stomach.

Ye Qing was neither surprised nor afraid by this discovery. He had anticipated this.

The changes occurring throughout Void Stomach City clearly made the Yin Horse Carriage feel threatened. The black fog surrounding it abruptly burst into flames, and the Yin Coachman appeared on the shaft.

He swung his horse whip hard, and the horses grew several, no, dozens of times larger than they were before. They also grew horns out of their heads and scales out of their bodies. The black flames wreathing them were beyond terrifying.

The Yin Horse Carriage traveled over twice as fast after its horses underwent a dramatic transformation. Not only that, the horses brutally and violently annihilated any growth, blood vessels, blood, intestines or more blocking its path.

At the beginning the Yin Horse Carriage did not encounter much trouble. Practically nothing could take a hit from it. Over time though, Void Stomach City grew more and more terrifying thanks to a constant infusion of corruption. Not only were the organs, blood vessels, stomach and more becoming stronger and stronger, the city was continuously blasting yin fire at the Yin Horse Carriage as well.

Gradually, the Yin Horse Carriage fell into a disadvantage. It could no longer act as wantonly and fearlessly as before.
