Chapter 326: Chapter 326: The Filthy and Disordered Cave Dwelling

Lin Fan’s mind suddenly flashed with inspiration, and then he asked the boatman, "By the way, where does this boat come from that it can withstand the attacks of these souls?"

The boatman replied, "Bought it!"

"Where did you buy it?" Lin Fan asked again.

The boatman explained, "Every now and then, someone from a high-ranking area would come here to sell these small boats. We really do not know who they are and we dare not ask; we only know that these people have very strange temperaments. If we show the slightest disrespect, they would kill us!"

Lin Fan did not speak!

He had originally wanted to uncover the secrets of Soul Refining River through the small boat!

But now it seemed that this was not realistic!

At this time, the small boat finally approached the Chaotic Land and stopped at the shore.

"Master, please disembark," the boatman said to Lin Fan.

Lin Fan nodded and said, "After disembarking, you shouldn’t call me master anymore. Call me... Mu Yi!"

"Okay, master!" the boatman replied.

Lin Fan didn’t say much more. With one step, he had already set foot on the land of Chaotic Land.

At the same time, Lin Fan couldn’t help but reflect inwardly, "I had never thought before that one day I would step on the land of the Chaotic Land. If not for the relentless coercion of the Dasong Dynasty, I would have not come here..."

"Heh, Dasong Dynasty"

A sudden surge of killing intent appeared in Lin Fan’s heart.

"When I return to the Dasong Dynasty, that will be the time of the Dynasty’s demise!" Lin Fan thought to himself again.

To tell the truth, Lin Fan wasn’t that keen on Imperial Power.

But...

If Imperial Power actively troubled Lin Fan, he naturally would not be polite.

Since they provoked me, then I will overturn them!

The boatman quietly stood beside Lin Fan. Looking at Lin Fan, he thought to himself, "It seems this guy must have a story..."

For a moment, the boatman also became curious about Lin Fan’s identity.

But that was just curiosity; he wouldn’t ask, because he was Lin Fan’s slave at this moment, and even if curious, he dared not inquire further.

Lin Fan said, "Let’s go, we’ll talk after we get to your place."

While speaking, Lin Fan began to walk.

"Okay."

But the very next moment, Lin Fan suddenly stopped and his brow furrowed slightly.

Mysterious Power

Just then, Lin Fan sensed a faint mysterious energy within the Chaotic Land, an energy that gave a heart-palpitating feeling, very powerful...

The nearby boatman seemed to know Lin Fan’s confusion and spoke up, "Master... No, Mu Yi, this is the Power of Slaughter. The Chaotic Land has seen so much killing that the endless slaughter has already converged to become the Power of Slaughter. Anyone here, as long as they gain the approval of the Chaotic Land, can harness the Power of Slaughter. The more powerful the Power of Slaughter one can harness, the stronger they are!"

"There’s such a thing?"

Lin Fan found himself becoming more and more curious about the Chaotic Land.

Then, Lin Fan asked again, "How does one gain the approval of the Chaotic Land?"

The boatman shook his head, "That... I don’t know!"

"Alright then!"

Lin Fan did not speak further.

The boatman said, "Mu Yi, let’s go. You must be tired, let’s rest at my place first. But... my place is very simple, please don’t take offense!"

Lin Fan nodded.

Afterward, the boatman led Lin Fan forward. Along the way, Lin Fan witnessed many acts of killing, where conflicts often escalated to violence instantly, and once it happened, one side would surely be killed.

The boatman was already used to such things!

But Lin Fan couldn’t help but lament in his heart, "It truly lives up to its name as the Chaotic Land, this place really is chaotic enough!"

The boatman whispered to Lin Fan, "Mu Yi, this place is quite special. If it’s not necessary, it’s best to avoid provoking others. Even if someone comes to provoke you, if possible, it’s still better to retreat. As the saying goes, taking a step back opens a vast sky and sea. Otherwise, you might inexplicably lose your life!"

Lin Fan looked at the boatman and asked, "Is this your secret to surviving in the Chaotic Land - Endurance?"

The boatman smiled awkwardly and said, "I know this approach seems very cowardly, but... heh, if you don’t have enough strength, you can only endure. After all, being alive is better than anything else!"

With that, the boatman paused for a while before continuing to speak, "Actually, if it wasn’t for my lack of strength, I wouldn’t be working as a boatman!"

Lin Fan understood in his heart.

So it turned out that those who become boatmen did so due to insufficient strength.

After walking for a while longer, someone came to provoke and ridicule the boatman.

However, the boatman took his Endurance Divine Skill to the extreme. It seemed that the other party was just there to ridicule the boatman and didn’t really intend to do anything to him, so after a cold laugh, the other party simply left.

But...

Lin Fan’s brow slightly wrinkled!

Lin Fan felt that the boatman was really too spineless. To tell the truth, just moments ago, Lin Fan had almost lost his patience and nearly resorted to violence!

Lin Fan said, "Skinny, I really didn’t expect that your Endurance Divine Skill had already reached such a masterful level."

The boatman’s face flushed with a deeper shade of red, clearly becoming more embarrassed, and helplessly said, "Heh, there’s nothing I can do about it. If I didn’t endure, I would have been killed a long time ago!"

Lin Fan said no more.

Previously, when the boatman was on the boat, Lin Fan had thought the man was ferocious and assumed he was a formidable figure. Only now did Lin Fan discover that he was just a coward.

To tell the truth, Lin Fan felt a little disappointed in his heart...

Finally, they arrived at the boatman’s dwelling!

And upon reaching the boatman’s dwelling, Lin Fan couldn’t help but be dumbfounded!

This... Calling it a dwelling was a stretch; it looked more like a ramshackle cave!

To be accurate, it was an old cave that nobody else wanted anymore. Perhaps after being discarded by others, it was picked up by the boatman, who tidied it up a bit before settling down here.

The surroundings of the Illusion Realm were extremely poor.

Everywhere there was trash discarded by Cultivators in their Cultivation practices, and mosquitoes as big as thumbs were flying around. Don’t underestimate these mosquitoes; they could feed on the blood of Cultivators.

A wave of foul odor came wafting over, making Lin Fan feel very uncomfortable.

Describing everything here in three words: "Filthy, chaotic, poor!"

Lin Fan’s eyebrows furrowed slightly...

At this moment, Lin Fan finally understood the boatman’s status in the Chaotic Land.

This guy, in the Chaotic Land, was simply a beggar!

And an extremely spineless beggar at that!

The boatman had been watching Lin Fan’s expressions change the whole time, and now he knew Lin Fan must despise this place.

With no other choice, the boatman said, "This... Mu Yi, I know you’re not used to living here, but... there’s no helping it. For now, we can only live here. Maybe after we grow stronger, we can think of other ways."

Lin Fan nodded his head.

Although Lin Fan didn’t want to live here,

But...

Currently, Lin Fan had no other options. He had no other place to stay, so he could only live here!

Lin Fan thought to himself, "Perhaps, over the next period of time, I’ll have to live in this place filled with garbage, accompanied by these thumb-sized mosquitoes, but... these thumb-sized mosquitoes are a bit annoying!"

Lin Fan shook his head, putting away those jumbled thoughts.

Speaking of which, Lin Fan was quite adaptable. Although he really didn’t like it here, but...

When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

After all, he had to live somewhere.

Although the environment here was terrible, it didn’t affect Lin Fan’s Cultivation, because Lin Fan could clearly feel that the Power of Slaughter here was quite potent. If he could absorb this Power of Slaughter, it would be very helpful for his Cultivation advancement.

At this time, a person walked out from the dilapidated cave.

It was a very feeble-looking person with a pointy chin and monkey-like cheeks - a deeply unpleasant... Monkey!

Seeing this person, Lin Fan’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Clearly, Lin Fan also disliked this Monkey!

And when Skinny saw the Monkey, his face turned sour, and he even became... angry!

"Monkey, what are you doing in my dwelling?" Skinny roared furiously.

"Hehe!"

The Monkey smirked and said: "Skinny, is this your dwelling?"

The Monkey’s voice was very sharp, making it unbearable to listen to.

A bad feeling crept into Skinny’s heart as he said, "Of course, this is my dwelling!"

The Monkey replied again, "It used to be your dwelling, but I now declare that, from this moment on, this cave is mine. You, get lost, and don’t ever show up here again, or else, I’ll kill you!"

"You... you... don’t bully people too much!" Skinny, enraged, pointed at the Monkey, his body even starting to tremble.

The Monkey sneered, "Skinny, you better not push your luck. If it weren’t for our past acquaintance, I would have killed you already. Better get lost. Remember, don’t appear before me ever again."

"I’m going to fight you!"

Skinny bellowed and charged toward the Monkey.

He decided to risk his life fighting the Monkey.

Yes, Skinny was very spineless.

But when it was time to take action, he would do so, because he still had the blood of a Cultivator.

Because the Monkey was trying to snatch his dwelling.

He knew very well that once he lost the cave, he wouldn’t survive long.

If death was inevitable, better to struggle against the Monkey.

More importantly, Skinny knew that the Monkey’s strength was about equal to his own. If he fought to the death, he had at least a fifty-fifty chance of winning.
