C1892 The City Has Changed
Jie Qiu got up. "Did you agree?"
Zhou Yi nodded. "Since you're already out, let's go take a look."
"Yes, yes. As long as you can treat the mayor well, as long as Yan Yu City can do it. "Yes, yes. As long as you can treat the mayor well, as long as Yan Yu City can do it, it doesn't matter." Jie Qiu promised again.
For the rest of the time, the three of them continued their journey.
Now that Hua Xin's cultivation had increased by quite a bit, the speed of her journey was naturally not slow. However, they had a hard time understanding Qiu. He was just an ordinary person, and he was simply unable to catch up to the two of them.
Helplessly, when they passed by Huang Lianshan, Zhou Yi personally caught a wild beast that was as fast as a cheetah.
Zhou Yi had never seen such a wild beast before. Huaxin said that the people here called it Liefeng, which meant that it was an animal that ran very fast.
As expected, with the addition of this Liefeng, their speed had increased a lot.
Seeing Zhou Yi's means, Jie Qiu was even more confident that he could help the city lord recover and cure the strange disease.
Because they sped up, the half a month journey was shortened to a week.
But when they arrived at Misty Rain City, they found that the city gates were closed. They did not know what had happened.
"Please wait for a moment. I will go over and take a look." Jie Qiu hurriedly walked to the city gates and heavily patted the city gates. However, no one responded.
Jie Qiu became more and more anxious, from the initial knock on the door to smashing it.
He raised his head and shouted at Cheng Long, "Wang Dachui, are you there? Open the door for me."
No one on the city gate responded to him.
Jie Qiu had never hated this sturdy city wall and gate as much as he did now.
The city wall was about three to four meters tall. If he didn't rely on external forces, he wouldn't be able to go up at all.
Jie Qiu was just an ordinary person. He could only look at the wall and sigh.
He had been fighting in front of the city gate and under the city wall for half a day, but the city was still very quiet. No one responded to him.
Zhou Yi walked up and grabbed Jie Qiu, who was already half crazy, "You stay back."
After saying that, Hua Xin walked up and pulled Jie Qiu behind her.
Zhou Yi's feet stepped on the ground, and with the help of the recoil, he jumped onto the wall.
The scene inside the wall made Zhou Yi's pupils shrink.
The city was silent. It was full of blood. No one knew where the people had gone. It was not like the blood was left by the people in the city.
Zhou Yi jumped off the city wall and opened the gate. Jie Qiu and Hua Xin walked in.
Hua Xin was fine, but Jie Qiu ran to the city as fast as he could when he saw the scene in the city.
Zhou Yi and Hua Xin followed closely behind him, keeping an eye out for their surroundings.
Wherever they went, everything was silent. There was no sign of anyone.
"Where is he? Where did he go? Why can't I see him?" Jie Qiu shouted as he ran.
He only stopped when he arrived in front of City Lord's Mansion.
The gates of the City Lord's Mansion were tightly shut. However, one could see countless bloody handprints on the wall at the side. There were even blood stains on the ground.
Xie Qiu pushed his hand towards the gates of City Lord's Mansion.
Creak!
They let out a heavy sound and slowly opened it.
Jie Qiu stood at the door for a moment, then rushed in.
He opened a door, but there was no one inside.
Then, he pushed open the next door, but there was still no one inside.
The City Lord's Mansion was relatively clean, and there were no traces of blood.
However, at the same time, Zhou Yi found a strange phenomenon. Logically speaking, the blood in the entire city would certainly give off an extremely fishy smell of blood, but there was no smell in the air at all.
Hua Xin seemed to have noticed this as well. She looked at Zhou Yi with a puzzled expression.
Zhou Yi shook his head gently.
Jie Qiu had almost run all over City Lord's Mansion, but he didn't find anything.
"Is there any other place in the Prefecture that can hide people?" Zhou Yi looked at Jie Qiu and asked.
Jie Qiu kept repeating Zhou Yi's words, "Hide people? Hide people?"
Suddenly, he turned around and ran to the back of City Lord's Mansion.
The backyard of City Lord's Mansion was empty except for some fake mountains and small lakes. It seemed like this was the place where the city lord usually had fun.
There were two wooden boats parked on top of the small lake.
Jie Qiu rushed all the way to the side of the fake mountain and pressed down on a protruding rock. The fake mountain slowly moved to the side, revealing the dark underground cave entrance.
Jie Qiu desperately wanted to rush in, but was stopped by Zhou Yi.
"You don't need to worry. We will walk down slowly behind me." Zhou Yi pulled Jie Qiu behind him, and then he took the lead to walk inside.

It was pitch black in the cave. With a slight movement of Zhou Yi's wrist, an orange light slowly appeared on his palm, illuminating the stone steps in front of them.
Behind him was Jie Qiu, while Huaxin covered the rear.
The stone steps were very high, about five to six meters high. After they reached the bottom, they finally saw the scene of this underground space.
There were countless people lying in disorder here.
The area of the cave was very large. It was estimated that the area of the underground area was equal to the area of the city lord.
Even with such a large area, it was still filled with people.
Everyone's eyes were closed as they fell to the ground. They did not know if they were dead or alive.
Zhou Yi waved his hand. Countless small flames appeared in the air. The entire underground space was illuminated brightly.
Huaxin reached out her hand and tested the noses of those people. Then, she raised her head and shook her head at Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi was surprised. There were at least a few thousand people in this city. It was impossible for all of them to die here.
So, he said, "Release the Divine Soul Power to investigate everyone. If you encounter anyone who still has energy, treat them immediately."
Hua Xin complied and immediately did as he was told.
Jie Qiu sat on the ground with a dispirited expression as he muttered to himself, "Why is it like this? Why, I... I shouldn't have left this place."
Hua Xin and Zhou Yi kept searching this space and found that there were still a small number of people who were still breathing weakly.
"It's not the time for you to be sad. Come and save them." Zhou Yi pulled up his coat and pointed at a little girl in red clothes in the distance. "Go and get her. I'll clear the area here."
Jie Qiu was stunned. "Is there still a way to save her? Isn't she already dead?"
Zhou Yi shook his head helplessly. "If you don't help, she might really die."
Without saying another word, Jie Qiu ran over and picked him up, sending him to the empty space that Zhou Yi cleared out.
Zhou Yi slowly injected the emerald green energy into the little girl's body. He found that there seemed to be no major problem in her body. She must have fainted due to excessive shock.
After calming the little girl's soul, he let the little girl fall asleep.
Then, the three of them began to search for the person who was not dead in the underground space.
Time passed by. After an unknown period of time, footsteps suddenly came from the originally quiet underground space.
The three of them stopped what they were doing at the same time and looked in the direction of the stone steps...
