My Simulated Road to Immortality

Chapter 381: 357: The Miserable and Weird Accusation

Instead, a barren and deathly silent landscape took their place.

Li Fan did not forget his goal, he returned and gave the ruins a rough search once again, found no useful information.

He marked the ruins, selected a direction, flew off keeping close to the ground.

Two days later, Li Fan discovered another set of ruins within the Mist Sea.

These ruins were several times larger than the first one he discovered.

Accordingly, the scene of countless stacked bodies was even more brutal.

The lively expressions on their faces almost made Li Fan feel as though he was at the scene of a brutal massacre.

Suppressing the unease in his heart, Li Fan searched the area as usual.

Although he found no valuable information, some of the corpses amidst the sea of bodies caught his attention.

Most of the cultivators in the first and second ruins died within a split second.

Apart from their faces showing fear and despair, they left behind no other information.

However, amongst the multitude of people, there were a handful who had relatively higher cultivation levels.

Before they died, they seemed to stare at a certain direction, filled with resentment and unwillingness.

As if the existence that took their lives was over there.

Long after their death, they still remained in that position.

Fortunately for Li Fan, an outsider, they pointed out a direction in the White Mist.

Following the indication from the corpses, Li Fan flew rapidly for a day and located the third ruins.

Following this method, Li Fan traced the path of the killer, and continued forward.

The fourth, the fifth, the sixth…

Until his provisions could only last for three more days.

Li Fan had already encountered eleven piles of corpses among all the ruins.

Then, while he was hastily heading for the twelfth ruins.

Something unusual happened.

Li Fan, who was originally flying forward rapidly, found himself back at the eleventh ruins after not so long.

After spotting the mark he made earlier, Li Fan confirmed that this was not his illusion.

Once again, he set off.

The result was the same.

After a round, he returned to the starting point.

Li Fan pondered for a moment without panicking.

He made a third attempt.

This time he slowed down, always sensing the direction of the eleventh ruin while flying.

Finally, he figured out what was happening.

Somewhere during his flight, he encountered something.

That made his forward direction, in a split second and without any traces, switch to backward.

The first two times, Li Fan had no idea, and thought that he was still flying forward.

In reality, he had been turned around.

Then naturally, after not too long, he returned back to his starting point.

At this moment, Li Fan stood solemnly in front of the area that brought about this change.

As he flew into it, his position didn’t change.

But, without realizing it, the eleventh ruin that he sensed was behind him, appeared before him.

Li Fan frowned slightly, turned back and tried to distance himself from the eleventh ruin.

But not long after the flight, the direction was messed up again.

However, Li Fan now had experience, and he ensured that the eleventh ruin was always behind him.

Constantly adjusting his direction, he moved forward.

After much difficulty and spending an additional two days, he finally reached the twelfth ruin.

This ruin, amongst all the other ruins, was the largest in scale.

Yet, in the outskirts, he could not find any trace of corpses.

Something was amiss.

Li Fan braced himself and began to explore towards the center of the ruin.

The surroundings were desolate, and silent.

Within the isolated Mystical Realm, even the Abyss Demon Sound from the Roaring Abyss could not make it through.

Apart from noises he made himself, Li Fan hadn’t heard anything for a long time.

However, as Li Fan approached the center of Relic No. 12, a sudden rustling sound made the hairs all over his body stand upright.

Through the somehow thinned out White Mist, Li Fan saw something on the ground not far away.

A cultivator was lying there with his face upwards, but his limbs were grotesquely twisted downwards.

His hands and feet were irregularly broken.

His toes and fingers were twisted together, similar to a twisted doughnut.

And with these disturbing limbs, the cultivator circled and crawled around slowly and strugglingly.

Untiring.

Unaware of how long it had been going on, it seemed like it would never stop.

Seeing the creature in the White Mist in front of him, which he had no idea how long it had survived, Li Fan’s scalp tingled, and his heart jolted to a stop.

Suppressing his breath, he slowly retreated.

Yet, this twisted creature’s senses appeared to be extremely keen.

Immediately, it detected the arrival of an unfamiliar visitor.

Its drooping head snapped, folding onto its abdomen.

Then it directly turned 180 degrees, watching Li Fan closely with its countenance.

The visage of the twisted creature landed in Li Fan’s eyes, startling him immediately.

Its facial features were completely overturned and displaced.

Two pairs of eyes grew from where the mouth should be, and were unnaturally prowling around on the face.

The nose was embedded inside the skull.

And as the eyes constantly changed positions, the mouth opened and closed non-stop.

Instead of a tongue and teeth, there were bloody human faces bursting out from within.

The twisted creature, despite its grotesque body, moved exceptionally fast.

Its hands and feet swam frantically, closing the distance between it and Li Fan in just a few moments.

The ferocious bloody faces in the creature’s mouth appeared as though they were about to envelope Li Fan’s face the next second.

Li Fan roared, “Die!”

He executed the Great Five Elements Annihilation Sword repeatedly.

While retreating rapidly, the Serenity Blade was never inactive.

However, to Li Fan’s horror, the black Sword Light that fell on the creature, which usually had the characteristic of annihilating everything, seemed to lose its effect.

A creaking sound of bones constantly compressing and twisting came from the creature’s body.

The creature did not seem to care at all, it only caused a slight delay in its movement.

Then it rushed towards Li Fan at an even faster speed.

Even if Li Fan launched hundreds of Sword Lights in a breath, the creature took every single hit, showing no signs of injury.

“Damn it!”

Seeing the twisted creature about to pounce, Li Fan cursed under his breath, ready to activate his true essence.

The next second, an unexpected thing occurred.

This twisted creature came to Li Fan’s side, didn’t attack, but instead knelt down.

It kept kowtowing.

While kowtowing, it let out a sobbing wail.

Blood tears flowed from its constantly mobile eyes.

It seemed eager to say something from its mouth.

But its mouth was filled with ever-changing, crying bloody faces, so it was unable to fully express what it wanted to say.

“What’s going on?”

Looking at the creature in front of him, still wailing and kowtowing, Li Fan’s mind was in turmoil.

Finding himself temporarily out of danger, Li Fan stopped his true essence.

But for a moment, he didn’t know what had happened, so he refrained from any hasty actions.

Instead, he patiently tried to decipher the sobbing from the twisted creature’s mouth.

“Sky….”

“Healer….”

Listening, maybe due to being under the influence of the Abyss Demon Sound for a long time.

Li Fan once again heard these two words from the creature’s mouth.

Suppressing his shock, Li Fan attempted to ask.

“Sky, healer?”

The twisted creature let out a bitter wail, forcibly banging its head hard on the ground.
