Master Changmei heard Ye Qiu's voice, turned around and asked, "Little bastard, what's wrong?"
"Come and take a look." Ye Qiu said.
At that moment, Master Changmei and the others stood up and came to Ye Qiu's side. When they looked down, they found that there was actually a city below.
The strange thing is that there is no one in the city.
"It's strange, why is there no one in such a big city?" Mo Tianji said with confusion on his face.
Lin DaNiao was also puzzled: "Logically speaking, it shouldn't be!"
Master Changmei said: "It's okay if there are no people, not even a cat or a dog. This is very abnormal."
Ye Qiu took a careful look and found that the buildings in the city below were intact and extremely quiet.
"Old man, where is this?" Ye Qiu asked.
Master Changmei immediately took out the map, glanced at it, and said: "This is Pearl City, with a population of three million. It originally belonged to Daqian, but now it is included in the territory of Central Continent."
"Population three million?" Lin Daniao exclaimed: "Second brother, you are not mistaken, are you? Let alone the population, there is not even a mosquito in this city."
Master Changmei shook his head and said: "There is no mistake. This map was given to me by Princess Ning'an. The name of the city and population are marked on it."
"Where have the people from Pearl City gone?" Lin Daniao asked.
Master Changmei said: "How do I know?"
Mo Tianji said in a deep voice: "The city that originally had a population of three million has now become an empty city. It's very strange!"
Lin DaNiao asked: "Will they be killed?"
Mo Tianji said: "Even if a population of three million is slaughtered, there will always be blood stains or corpses left behind, right? But look, are there any corpses in the city now?"
With their current cultivation level, they can clearly grasp the situation in the city as long as they use their spiritual consciousness.
There are no bodies.
No bloodstains.
Not even a drop of blood.
There weren't even any signs of a fight.
Ye Qiu immediately opened his eyes, looked around and found that there was no life force.
"It's strange. Three million people have disappeared without a trace. It's really unbelievable." Ye Qiu also felt a little weird.
"Little bastard, why don't we go down and have a look?" Master Changmei suggested.
Ye Qiu said: "Forget it, this place now belongs to the territory of Central Continent. If something really happened, Ning'an should have received the news long ago. We should rush back as soon as possible!"
At this moment, Chengfeng Sword carried them forward.
About two hours passed.
"Boss, second brother, come here quickly." Lin Daniao stood on the edge of the sword and shouted.
Master Changmei was sleeping. After being woken up by Lin Daniao, he shouted dissatisfied: "What's wrong?"
"A city appeared below, just like the Pearl City." Lin Daniao said.
Hearing this, Ye Qiu and Master Changmei quickly appeared next to Lin DaNiao. When he lowered his head and looked, sure enough, a city appeared below.
The scale of this city is much larger than that of Pearl City, and the city has green mountains and pleasant scenery, making it a very livable city.
Strangely, there was no one in the city.
Another empty city!
Master Changmei quickly took out the map and said: "This city is called Cuiwei City, with a population of five million. It used to belong to Daqian."
Lin DaNiao touched his head and said: "Five million people disappeared, what an evil act."
Ye Qiu used his spiritual sense to investigate, but still found nothing. They did not stop and continued moving forward.
Two hours later.
With the sound of the wind-riding sword piercing the air, Ye Qiu and his party once again passed through a vast plain.
Ye Qiu's eyes suddenly became sharp. He patted the long-browed master's shoulder and motioned for everyone to pay attention below.
"Brother, senior brother, look, it's an empty city again!" Mo Tianji's voice was filled with disbelief.
Master Changmei cursed and said: "This is already the third empty seat. What kind of evil did you hit today?"
Ye Qiu frowned. He looked down and saw a large-scale city coming into view. The city walls were high, the city gates were majestic, and the buildings in the city were well-proportioned, but they were also deserted and silent.
"This city..."
Master Changmei opened the map, his voice suddenly stopped, and then he said in shock, "This is Lingyun City, with a population of eight million. It was once a prosperous place in Daqian!"
Lin DaNiao was stunned: "Eight million people just disappeared out of thin air? How... how is this possible?"
Mo Tianji also looked quite shocked. He mused: "Three consecutive cities, with a combined population of more than 16 million, have mysteriously disappeared. This is definitely not an accident."
Ye Qiu stared at Lingyun City, a sharp light flashed in his eyes.
He opened his eyes and tried to catch any clues, but still found nothing.
There were no corpses, no bloodstains, no signs of fighting, not even a trace of life in the city.
"Could it be that the populations of these cities were instantly transferred away by some powerful force?" Lin Daniao guessed.
Master Changmei shook his head and said: "Unless you are an immortal, it is impossible for even a powerful emperor to transfer so many people so quietly. According to Pindao, there must be something fishy behind this matter."
"By the way, old man, if I remember correctly, there are troops stationed at the borders of every city, right?" Ye Qiu suddenly asked.
"Yes." Master Changmei said: "After the unification of Central Continent, Princess Ning'an ordered that in addition to garrison troops in the city to maintain peace, there are also garrison troops at the borders of each city."
Ye Qiu said: "But the garrisons on the border between Mingzhu City and Cuiwei City have disappeared."
"Let's take a look at the situation in Lingyun City!" After Ye Qiu said this, he flew forward with his sword and soon arrived at the border of Lingyun City.
They discovered that Lingyun City's border defense line was actually empty, and the garrison seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.
"There is no garrison." Changmei Zhenren's eyes narrowed: "I don't know, what exactly happened here?"
Mo Tianji said: "There must have been changes in these three cities, otherwise it would be impossible for tens of millions of people to disappear."
"When something goes wrong, there must be a monster." Master Changmei said, "How about I tell a fortune?"
"Forget it, don't waste your energy." Ye Qiu was silent for a moment and said slowly: "This matter is of great importance. We must return to the imperial city as soon as possible and ask Ning'an what the situation is."
The Wind Sword accelerated again, piercing the sky and galloping towards the Imperial City of Zhongzhou.
Along the way, Ye Qiu and others felt extremely heavy. People from three consecutive cities had mysteriously disappeared. This was definitely not a small matter.
They had a vague premonition that Central Continent might be facing a crisis.
However, it is still not clear where the source of this crisis comes from?
Time passes minute by minute.
Master Changmei took out three copper coins, played with them for a while, and said: "Pindao just did a divination. The divination shows that it is a good omen. There should be no problems in the city in the future..."
The words were not spoken yet.
Lin DaNiao suddenly exclaimed: "Boss, another city has appeared below, but it's still empty!"
