Chapter 4790: Nation of Sin
Someone, struggling to control a trembling voice, shrieked, "It's the human-snake! It's that human-snake!"
"Don't panic, everyone, don't panic," the old man's cold, calm voice sounded again, soothing the crowd.
"Don't forget, in this place, the higher one's cultivation realm, the more severely they will be suppressed."
A fierce light flashed in the old man's eyes as he stared at Mo Lian and Feng Chen with interest. "Shouldn't you all be very happy that our Nation of Sin has three new slaves?"
Behind him, the crowd paused, then suddenly erupted in cheers.
One of the older men said excitedly, "Great! It's down! This human-snake is finally down and no longer blocking the passage up. As long as we kill it, can we finally leave?"
"Yes, yes, yes! Right! Dasen is right, let's kill this human-snake!"
"Yes, kill it! We can get out!"
Zuo Lanshan looked bewilderedly at Mo Lian and Feng Chen beside him. "Looking at their excited expressions, how come I don't remember ever meeting them before?"
Feng Chen couldn't help but roll his eyes. "You probably blocked their path after your hibernation..."
He paused, his gaze immediately turning to the sinkhole where everyone was kneeling. "Could this pit be the entrance they fell through?"
Mo Lian shook his head. "Impossible. This location doesn't feel right. And if falling down leads to this place, then why did we fall from above? We've walked for two days straight to get here."
Feng Chen thought about it and, full of doubt, said, "Then why are they worshiping this pit so mysteriously?"
As they spoke, some scattered items began to emerge from the sinkhole.
A white mist filled the sinkhole, with only a glimmer of light floating within.
The faint light Mo Lian and the others had seen from afar earlier was coming from inside.
"Ah, thanks be to God."
"Thanks be to God." These people knelt down, performing a dramatic act of worship, repeatedly kowtowing to the sinkhole, each one acting deranged, like lunatics.
Mo Lian was quite speechless.
These people ignored the three of them, simply digging out the scattered items from the sinkhole, their faces filled with devotion as they bowed to the sinkhole a few more times.
As they collected the items emerging from the sinkhole, they exclaimed in surprise, "It's a big bag of beans!"
"Oh my God, someone's inner world actually had beans?"
"This is amazing!"
"Wow, clothes! Several sets of clean clothes!"
"Mine, this is mine, mine, mine, I..."
"Alright everyone, don't snatch," the leading elder's eyes flickered as he said coldly, "Let's gather these things first and take them back to the Great Overlord."
"Don't forget, all resources must be handed over to the Great Overlord for distribution."
Everyone reluctantly withdrew their hands, their gazes once again falling on Mo Lian, Feng Chen, and the third person.
One of them chuckled lewdly at the elder. "These young men are quite handsome. Should they also be offered to the Great Overlord?"
The elder leading the group nodded, just about to give the order to have Mo Lian and the other two tied up.
Then, a noisy commotion came from behind the sinkhole.
Everyone turned to look and saw several well-dressed, bearded guards escorting a young man, walking towards them.
"What's going on?"
