After breaking through Grand Completion of Body Integration, the speed of Zhou Qi surged several times compared to when it reached Primordial Immortal Sect.
The Spiritual Power in his body was as vast as the sea, flowing endlessly. When he used Tidal Escape Art, his body turned into an almost invisible green light.
Even without the activation space Principle, the figure is so ethereal that it is difficult to catch traces with the naked eye.
From the Primordial Immortal Sect to the Cloud Marsh Kingdom, you have to pass diagonally through the large area of Wasteland and more than a dozen small border countries.
Zhou Qi Heading north, the further you go, the Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth becomes thinner, and a very light fishy smell begins to linger in the air.
That's Yao Qi.
The surrounding mountains are undulating, and the roars of sky-shaking beasts are heard from time to time in the depths.
The mighty and majestic big monsters are coming one after another, and the cultivation level of many of them is no longer inferior to that of the three-headed monster of Zhongnan Mountain.
As for the Cloud Marsh Kingdom, although its strength is acceptable, its overall ranking is in the top twenty among the 108 forces, but its territory is located in the southern border and is located in a desperate frontier.
Due to the remoteness of the terrain, Primordial Immortal Sect's rescue operations often lagged behind, resulting in the Cloud Marsh Kingdom being plagued by demonic disasters all year round, resulting in numerous casualties among the people.
According to what Elder Song said, Cloud Marsh Kingdom has quite a few tasks, most of which are related to monsters.
It's just that this nationwide invasion is an extremely unusual first time.
It was three days after Zhou Qi actually entered the territory of the Cloud Marsh Kingdom.
At dusk, the setting sun in the sky was like blood, dyeing the entire Wasteland with a layer of dark red.
Zhou Qi was parked above a low mountain, overlooking the front.
Behind his eyes is the most important city in the southern border of the Cloud Marsh Kingdom--Yongchang City.
He opened the missions Jade Slip, Divine Sense and explored them.
"Yongchang City, Cloud Marsh Kingdom The first city in the southern border, with a population of 1.87 million. After the outbreak of the beast tide, it became a gathering place for refugees in the southern border. Please ask the Supreme Sect for help."
Population 1.87 billion.
Zhou Qi slowly put away Jade Slip and looked at his feet.
The skeleton of the city wall is still there, but the main city gate has half collapsed. There is a national flag of the Cloud Marsh Kingdom on the city head, which has been torn into several rags by the wind and is swinging feebly in the wind.
The whole city was dead silent, without any lights or human sounds.
Even the chirping of insects and birds that could be seen everywhere disappeared completely here.
A strange chill quietly crept into his heart, Zhou Qi frowned slightly and jumped into the city.
The desolation and tragedy inside the city are far more shocking than when viewed from a distance.
The bluestone streets were covered with dried dark brown blood stains, and all the houses on both sides were trampled and damaged by Demon Beast.
Houses collapsed one after another, wooden beams were charred black and carbonized, and dilapidated ruins were everywhere.
On the stone wall, claw marks and tooth marks that were several feet deep were densely packed, making them hideous and terrifying.
There is no doubt that this place has experienced a brutal battle to destroy the city.
But the question is... where is the body?
Zhou Qi narrowed his eyes, Divine Sense spread out like a tide, covering the entire city.
After a moment, his brows furrowed even more.
There was no body, not even a breath of living things was found!
He walked along the long street, passed through several collapsed buildings, and entered a few houses that were still intact to check.
The pot was still on the stove and the rice was already moldy.
There were bowls and chopsticks on the table, and in some bowls there was half a bowl of food that had long since rotted into ashes.
Apparently it looked like no one had been back for a long time.
Zhou Qi stayed at Yongchang City for half an hour.
He visited every main street in the city and repeatedly scanned all areas with Divine Sense.
The results are the same.
There were only a few sporadic blood stains all over the ground, which could not match the tragic scale of the population of 1.87 million.
He didn't delay any longer, straightened his figure, turned into a green shadow, and continued heading north.
Heading north from Yongchang City, six hundred miles away is Pingyang City.
The results are generally the same as Yongchang City.
The city walls were broken, houses collapsed in pieces, and the ground was covered with Demon Beast hoof prints and claw marks.
There were many damaged low-level Law Artifacts in the city, and it was clear that a fierce battle to defend the city had taken place.
But there were still no corpses or living creatures.
Further north, more than 700 miles, Fen River City.
A dilapidated, empty city with no corpses.
Then Wangbei City, Nanli City, Chiyang City, White Crane City...
Zhou Qi swept through seven cities in one go.
Every one of them had the same scene: ruined cities, collapsed buildings, and traces of demons all over the city, but not a single person or body of Demon Beast could be found.
He flew faster and faster, and his brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
The seven cities have a population ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions.
The total number is nearly eight million living beings!
With such a huge number, no matter how ferocious the beast tide is, it is impossible to eat everyone until even the bones are left.
Moreover, even if Demon Beast swallows flesh and blood, there will definitely be traces such as clothing scraps, skeletal remains, and excrement left behind.
But these cities are so clean and strangely clean.
It wasn't until the eighth city - Clear Origin City that the scene in front of us finally changed.
Clear Origin City is completely different from the seven purgatory-like empty cities ahead.
The city gate is intact, the towering city walls and towering towers are standing safely, and the water of the moat outside the city is still flowing quietly, with the moonlight reflecting on the water.
But the deathly silence that penetrated into the bone marrow did not diminish at all.
There were no lights or sounds in the city, and the huge city was eerily quiet.
Zhou Qi stepped into the wide open city gate. The city was extremely clean, and the houses on both sides showed no trace of damage.
All signs indicate that the beast tide has not reached here.
Continuing to look inside, the store's signboard was still hanging, and the cloth banners were gently swaying in the night wind.
There are also dried fruits and preserves on the street stalls. There is a trolley parked in front of the stall, which is filled with bamboo baskets.
It's like the owner closes the stall at dusk, goes home for dinner, and comes back the next day.
But... there is still not a single soul left.
No fighting, no struggling.
It was like the entire city evaporated into thin air at the same moment.
Zhou Qi stood on the long street and looked around, feeling a bone-chilling chill spreading down his limbs.
Compared with the seven empty cities that are in disarray, this intact Clear Origin City is even more creepy.
Those seven cities can still be explained by beast tides, but how can we explain this Clear Origin City?
Zhou Qi flew up and hovered over Clear Origin City, overlooking the whole city.
The morning light was dim, and the whole city looked like an ink painting nailed to the ground.
Zhou Qi took a deep breath and suppressed the chill in his heart.
Silently erasing all life in a city with a population of one million.
This method is completely beyond the scope of what monk Body Integration Realm can do.
Even if Mahayana Realm is a powerful person, if he wants to transfer millions of people in a short time, he will have to spend a huge price and leave many traces.
What's more, this place is definitely not transferred, but completely erased.
Zhou Qi did not stay at Clear Origin City for too long.
He turned around and continued heading north, heading for Cloud Marsh Imperial City.
