Five little ones looked at each other.
In the end, it was a little boy with somewhat withered yellow hair who stepped forward and said timidly, “The man-dog was transformed into this by bad people.”
“The rich families in the city, they all keep these ‘man-dogs.’
“A man-dog is more obedient, smarter, and stronger than an ordinary dog.”
“So they are very popular.”
“To become a man-dog, one has to go through the conversion of Immortal Law, which is very painful.”
“If they can’t endure it, they will lose their sanity and become crazed.”
“Then they will be abandoned and left to fend for themselves.”
Although the little boy was young, he spoke with clarity and order.
“Immortal Law,” Li Fan sneered inwardly.
On this man-dog, he couldn’t see any trace of the workings of Spiritual Power at all.
It was just a crude sewing together of a dog’s limbs onto a human body.
The so-called “Immortal Law” is nothing more than a pretense to deceive mortals.
Such methods, if Brother Zhang saw them, would surely provoke an angry denunciation: “Evil heretics, deserved to be condemned by all.”
“The man-dog is just a defective product that was discarded. If it weren’t for Little White…”
As the boy with yellow hair was speaking, he was suddenly kicked hard from behind.
Dusting off his behind, he looked somewhat embarrassed.
The boy hurriedly corrected himself, “If Mr. Bai hadn’t stepped in to treat him, I’m afraid the man-dog would have been dead a long time ago.”
Li Fan’s expression shifted.
Mr. Bai?
It seemed he had heard the name before in this Fallen Immortal Realm?
A blue crystal flickered in his mind, and in an instant, he retrieved the relevant information from the depths of his memory.
It was when he acquired the “Violet Sky Soul Viewing Art” that after the battle between Zhang Qianmo and Song Hesong, two Cultivators, Ningyuan City had become ruins, and suddenly, some beggar children about ten years old appeared, calling out in despair.
They kindled hope for survival in everyone and were able to organize rescue efforts in an orderly fashion.
And they obeyed the commands of this Mr. Bai.
Li Fan couldn’t help but be intrigued and immediately asked, “Who is Mr. Bai?”
As soon as Mr. Bai was mentioned, the young boy with yellow hair became excited.
He opened up and said fervently, “Mr. Bai is the kindest person in the world!”
“He also has the best medical skills in the world!”
“And he’s the best-looking person in the world!”
The other children behind him also chimed in with their own praises, “Mr. Bai is the gentlest speaker in the world!”
“He’s also the smartest person in the world!”
Listening to the overflowing words of praise from the children, Li Fan found it somewhat amusing.
In the eyes of these children, perhaps this small Ningyuan City was their whole world.
However, it was also apparent that this Mr. Bai indeed had some extraordinary aspects and was extremely kind to the children.
Could such a person be the master of this Fallen Immortal Realm’s lingering thoughts and spaces?
Li Fan became interested.
“This Mr. Bai truly sounds remarkable! Could you introduce me to him?” Li Fan asked with a smile.
In an instant, the five children all fell silent.
They instinctively stepped back and eyed Li Fan with a wary gaze.
As if Li Fan were a bad person with ulterior motives.
Li Fan chuckled: “Don’t be afraid of me, I’m just like your Mr. Bai, a good person too.”
“I just want to meet him, that’s all.”
After exchanging glances, it was ultimately the boy with yellow hair who spoke up.
“Actually, we don’t know where Mr. Bai lives.”
“We live in a small temple east of the city, and Mr. Bai often comes to see us.”
“If you want to meet Mr. Bai, you can wait for him at the small temple.”
Li Fan narrowed his eyes slightly, making a judgment.
The blond little boy had not lied.
“Lead the way!”
Li Fan tossed the still sleeping dog to a few others and said in a deep voice.
The blond little boy took the dog, saw that it had indeed just fainted, and let out a sigh of relief.
Only after confirming that Li Fan was not some great evil did he truly feel at ease.
So, under their guidance, Li Fan arrived at a small temple in the east of Ningyuan City.
It seemed to be an abandoned temple.
The stone statue that was worshipped had long been broken beyond repair, leaving only a small fragment remaining.
Inside the temple, there were more than a dozen children, dressed in tattered clothes, both boys and girls.
Though they all looked frail, they were spirited, with a glint in their eyes.
Seeing the return of the blond little boy and his group of five, they all gathered around.
They chattered,”Lu Ya, who is this uncle?”
“Why did you come back empty-handed? Didn’t you get any food this time?”
“Doggy! What’s wrong with the dog?”
The blond Lu Ya then explained to everyone.
Li Fan also understood why Lu Ya and his group of five had inexplicably followed him.
It was simply because they saw he was a stranger, an outsider, and they wanted to get some money from him to buy food.
Groups like Lu Ya’s were not the only ones.
Some had not yet returned.
The children in the temple eyed Li Fan with a mix of wariness and curiosity.
However, none approached to make conversation.
Li Fan couldn’t be bothered to quibble with a group of brats, so he stayed aside, waiting for this Mr. Bai.
If all went as expected, once Brother Zhang made his move, Ningyuan City would be reduced to ruins under the hands of two cultivators.
Then Mr. Bai would reveal himself.
After waiting for a little while, Li Fan felt it was about the right time, so he sent a message to Brother Zhang.
“Be careful with Manager Song…”
Then he quietly waited for what would follow.
Sure enough, before long, Brother Zhang’s thunderous roar of fury resounded above Ningyuan City.
“Evildoers! Seek your own death!”
Purple thunderstorm, symbolizing majestic heavenly might, shimmered in the vault of heaven.
“Fellow Daoists, make your move quickly!” This was Chu Liang’s voice.
The battle started anew.
Knowing Brother Zhang’s strength, Li Fan didn’t pay much attention to the fight.
Instead, he was interested in watching the behavior of the children in the temple.
“Quick! Get to the cellar!”
Watching the strange phenomenon in the sky, Lu Ya’s face turned somewhat pale as he gave the command.
And the children seemed to be very accustomed to taking refuge.
Pushing aside the small fragment of the stone statue, they revealed an opening.
Without panic, they hurriedly climbed in one after another.
“Uncle, you should take cover too!”
When only Lu Ya was left in the temple, he looked back and said to Li Fan, “There are Immortals fighting outside, it’s too dangerous!”
Li Fan smiled slightly, “Don’t worry about me, you go take cover yourself.”
Lu Ya hesitated for a moment, nodded, and then his small figure disappeared into the hole.
The stone statue then slowly moved back into place, covering the entrance.
It was only now that Li Fan slowly walked up to the stone statue, his expression inscrutable.
As the group of children had pushed the stone statue aside and revealed the secret room beneath, Li Fan had also been somewhat astonished.
“Interesting, this seemingly ordinary stone statue, can it actually shield my spiritual awareness?”
He gently touched the age-worn stone statue, and spiritual power surged out from within him.
