When Longmei Zhenren heard Ye Qiu’s voice, he turned his head and asked, 「Little bastard, what’s the matter？」
「Come and take a look.」 Ye Qiu said.
Immediately, Longmei Zhenren and the others got up and came to Ye Qiu’s side. Looking down, they found that there was actually a city below.
The strange thing was that there was not a single person in the city.
「Strange, such a big city, why is there not a single person？」 Mo Tianji said with a puzzled look on his face.
Lin Daniao was also puzzled： 「Logically speaking, it shouldn’t be like this！」
Longmei Zhenren said： 「It’s okay if there are no people, not even a cat or a dog. This is very abnormal.」
Ye Qiu carefully took a look and found that the buildings in the city below were intact and overly quiet.
「Old thing, where is this？」 Ye Qiu asked.
Longmei Zhenren immediately took out the map, took a look, and said： 「This is Mingzhu City, with a population of three million. It originally belonged to Daqian and is now under the territory of Zhongzhou.」
「A population of three million？」 Lin Daniao exclaimed： 「Second brother, you can’t be wrong, let alone the population, there isn’t even a mosquito in this city.」
Longmei Zhenren shook his head and said： 「I won’t be wrong. This map was given to me by Princess Ning’an. The names of the cities and the population are marked on it.」
「Then where did the people in Mingzhu City go？」 Lin Daniao asked.
Longmei Zhenren said： 「How do I know？」
Mo Tianji said in a deep voice, ‘A city that originally had a population of three million has now become an empty city. It’s very strange！」
Lin Daniao said, ‘Could they have been killed？」
Mo Tianji said, ‘Three million people. Even if they were all slaughtered, there should always be bloodstains or corpses left. But look, are there any corpses in the city now?」
With their current cultivation level, as long as they spread their spiritual consciousness, they can clearly understand the situation in the city.
There are no corpses.
There is no bloodstain.
Not even a drop of blood.
Even, there are no traces of any fighting.
Ye Qiu immediately opened his Heavenly Eye and looked around, and found that there was no death energy either.
‘Strange, three million people actually disappeared without a trace. It’s really incredible. ‘Ye Qiu also felt a bit incredible.
’Little brat, why don’t we go down and take a look？’ Changmei Zhenren suggested.
Ye Qiu said, ‘Forget it. This place now belongs to the territory of Zhongzhou. If something really happened, Ning’an should have already received the news. We’d better hurry back！」
Immediately, the Chenfeng Sword carried them and continued to move forward.
After about two hours.
’Boss, Second Brother, come here quickly.’ Lin Daniao stood on the edge of the sword and shouted.
Changmei Zhenren was originally sleeping. After being woken up by Lin Daniao, he shouted dissatisfiedly, ‘What’s the matter again？」
’A city has appeared below, and the situation is the same as that of Mingzhu City.’ Lin Daniao said.
Upon hearing this, Ye Qiu and the Long-browed True Man quickly appeared beside Lin Daniao. Looking down, sure enough, a city appeared below.
The scale of this city is much larger than that of Mingzhu City, and the mountains in the city are green and the scenery is pleasant. It is a very livable city.
The strange thing is that there is no one in the city.
Another empty city！
The Long-browed True Man quickly took out the map and said, “This city is called Cuiwei City, with a population of five million. It also belonged to the Great Qian before.」
Lin Daniao touched his head and said, “Five million people disappeared without a trace. It’s really fucking strange.」
Ye Qiu used his spiritual sense to explore for a while but still found nothing. They didn’t stay any longer and continued to move forward.
Two hours later.
With the sound of the Chenfeng Sword breaking through the air, Ye Qiu and his party once again passed over a vast plain.
Ye Qiu’s eyes suddenly became sharp. He patted the shoulder of the Long-browed True Man, Youdaoplaceholder0 that everyone should pay attention to the bottom.
”Big brother, senior brother, look quickly, it’s another empty city！” Mo Tianji’s voice carried a bit of incredulity.
The Long-browed True Man cursed and
said, “This is already the third empty city. What kind of evil have we run into today？」
Ye Qiu’s brows were tightly furrowed. He looked down and saw a large-scale city come into view. The city wall was tall, the city gate was majestic, and the buildings in the city were staggered, but equally empty and lifeless.
「This city…」
The Long-browed True Man opened the map, his voice suddenly stopped, and then said in surprise, 「This is Lingyun City. The population is as many as eight million. It used to be a prosperous place in the Great Qian！」
Lin Daniao was dumbfounded： 「Eight million people, just disappeared out of thin air like this？ This… How is this possible？」
Mo Tianji also seemed quite shocked. He pondered and said, 「Three consecutive cities, with a total population of more than sixteen million, have all mysteriously disappeared. This matter is by no means accidental.」
Ye Qiu stared at Lingyun City, a sharp light flashing in his eyes.
He opened his Heavenly Eye, trying to catch a clue, but still found nothing.
There were no corpses, no bloodstains, no traces of fighting in the city, and not even a trace of vitality.
「Could it be that the population of these cities was instantly transferred by some powerful force？」 Lin Daniao guessed.
The Long-browed True Man shook his head and said, 「Unless it is a fairy, even a Great Emperor powerhouse would not be able to transfer so many people so quietly. In my opinion, there must be something strange behind this matter.」
「By the way, old thing, if I remember correctly, there are troops stationed at the border of each city, right？」 Ye Qiu suddenly asked.
「Hmm.」 The Long-browed True Man said, 「After the unification of Zhongzhou, Princess Ning’an ordered that in addition to the troops stationed in the city to maintain peace, there are also troops stationed at the border of each city.」
Ye Qiu said, “But at the borders of Mingzhu City and Cuiwei City, the garrisons are all gone.」
”Let’s see the situation in Lingyun City！” Ye Qiu said, and then flew forward with his sword. Soon, they arrived at the border of Lingyun City.
They found that the border defense line of Lingyun City was also empty, and the garrison seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.
”There is no garrison.” The Long-browed True Man narrowed his eyes and said, “I don’t know what exactly happened here？」
Mo Tianji said, “There must be something wrong with these three cities. Otherwise, it is impossible for tens of millions of people to disappear all of a sudden.」
”There must be something strange when things go against the norm.” The Long-browed True Man said, “How about I do a divination？」
”Forget it, don’t waste your energy.” Ye Qiu was silent for a moment and then 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-riding Sword accelerated again, and rushed towards the direction of the imperial city of Zhongzhou.
Along the way, the mood of Ye Qiu and the others was extremely heavy. The mysterious disappearance of the population of three consecutive cities was definitely not a trivial matter.
They had a faint premonition in their hearts that Zhongzhou might be facing a crisis.
However, it is not yet clear where the source of this crisis comes from？
Time passed by minute by minute.
The Long-browed True Man took out three copper coins, fiddled with them for a while, and said, “I just did a divination, and the divination shows a very auspicious omen. The next city should not have any more problems…」
Before the words fell.
Lin Daniao suddenly exclaimed： “Boss, there is another city below, and it’s still an empty city！」
