Zou Qing hurriedly put away the spirit essence stones that Lin Xi had thrown on the table, afraid that Lin Xi would go back on her word.

Zou Qing swallowed hard and said, "We have to start from fifty years ago." Zou Qing spoke for two to three hours without any intention of stopping. Lin Xi didn't interrupt her.

In Zou Qing's narration, Lin Xi found out that fifty years ago, the natives of the virtual bamboo island had a great battle with a group of people that didn't look like humans or fish that didn't look like fish. The reason was very simple; these foreign things were said to be evil creatures of their tribe.

This battle went on for two years. Afterwards, two eight-legged things came about, and all the experts in the Water Moon Temple were killed. After that, these things started on the Virtual Bamboo Island. It was a crazy killing incident.

At first, they had only killed those who were against them, but later, those with high Cultivation bases had sent people to kill those who were only at the Core Formation stage. In order to prevent the natives on the island from cultivating, they had taken all the spirit essence stones from the island and had even ordered them to trade with copper coins.

Those who survived were all subject to their rule, or hiding in other parts of the island.

Since these things became the overlords of the virtual bamboo island, the local people definitely could not call them things. Thus, they gave them a honorific name — Mermaid.

This Thousand Meddling City was the place with the largest number of people on Void Bamboo Island fifty years ago. It was also the most bustling place on the island, and Water Moon Temple was also located in this city.

Lin Xi wanted to personally come to Thousand Yun City and see if it was as Zou Qing said. He wanted to confirm if Grand Wisdom Master had truly passed away. In addition, he wanted to check if Lin Xi's goal was Long Kuang Hu.

Along the way, Lin Xi ran like an ordinary person, not using any martial arts. She even restrained her aura. Along the way, Lin Xi passed by three or four villages that were similar to the Misty Bamboo Village. Every village was exactly the same, and there were surprisingly few people.

There were no troubles along the way. Liang Min just followed behind Lin Xi without a word.

About ten minutes later, Lin Xi finally arrived at the Thousand Meddling City that was marked on the map.

However, the scene in the city made Lin Xi unable to match what she had imagined.

The main street of the city was very wide, one could see the entirety of the street, but there was not a single soul in sight. There were weeds growing in the cracks of the road, and all the shops and houses had their doors shut tight.

"Brother Lin, did we come to the wrong place?" Why does it feel like a ghost city? " Liang Min frowned slightly as she looked at the empty street.

"The map says so, so it should be correct. Let's take a look and see if there are any residents here!" After Lin Xi finished speaking, he slowly walked forward.

After walking through a few streets, the scenery was similar and there was not a single person in sight. Could it be that these people had all died after slaughtering the fishes in the city? Lin Xi stood in the middle of the street and looked into the distance.

"Pop!"

Lin Xi felt something hit her left cheek. Instinctively, she looked to the left. A child was aiming a slingshot at her.

Finally, he saw a living person in Thousand Arts City, even though he was just a child, and he didn't have the slightest bit of good will towards that child. No matter what, he had to first ask about the specific situation of this Qianyun City.

Just when Lin Xi wanted to go up and ask, he was extremely surprised to find out. This child who looked to be only seven or eight years old, she could not see through his cultivation level.

On Zi Ling planet, it wouldn't take long for a newborn child to reach the early Qi Condensation stage. What was going on with this child in front of him? Wasn't he born here? Or was there some other reason?

Liang Min also saw this child. She wasn't as calm as Lin Xi, and was even a little angry. However, when she saw that Lin Xi didn't seem to be angry at all, she suppressed the unhappiness in her heart.

"Little friend, are there any adults here?" Lin Xi asked the child with a smile.

"Scoundrel, all of you, die!" The kid didn't pause at all. He aimed the slingshot at Lin Xi and sent it flying towards her.

Lin Xi really didn't have much experience defending against such purely physical attacks, but dodging this kind of small ball only made her slightly bend her body.

His attack had been easily neutralized by his opponent. The child couldn't react for a while, and could only blankly look at Lin Xi as if he was looking at a monster.

"Bai Xuan, come back quickly! They'll kill you. " From the back of one of the houses came a small sound, like a girl's voice calling out in a low voice.

When the child heard the shout, he turned around and tried to run away. This was the only person that Lin Xi had found in Thousand Flow City. How could he let him escape so easily?

Lin Xi easily moved his footwork, and only flashed one or two times before arriving in front of the child.

Ahh!

Just as Lin Xi arrived at the child's side, a soft call sounded from a corner of the room not far away.

Lin Xi didn't think too much about it. Grabbing the child with one hand, he dodged another two times before running towards the source of the sound.

A girl around sixteen to seventeen years old, dressed simply, was covering her mouth and staring at Lin Xi with her round eyes.

At this moment, Liang Min had also arrived beside Lin Xi. Seeing Liang Min behind her, the little girl's panic lessened considerably.

"Put me down! "You bad guys." The child in Lin Xi's hand twisted its body.

Lin Xi then let go of her hand. The child quickly ran to the little girl's side and said, "Elder sister, hurry up and go."

Lin Xi couldn't hear his voice clearly, but he knew a bit. After the child finished speaking, he turned around and pounced towards Lin Xi with the slingshot in his hand. Lin Xi had no intention of dodging. This child's attack did not harm him at all.

The child had only taken two steps before he stopped. He was held back by the little girl. The child's face was filled with surprise as he looked at his elder sister behind him. "Big sister, you …"

"They're not bad people, at least not mermaids." The little girl stood up and said indifferently.

The child was especially obedient to his elder sister and really gave up on attacking. Instead, he stood behind the little girl.

"I'm sorry for what happened just now!" The little girl said as she bowed towards Lin Xi, "My name is Bai Yan, this is my sister, Bai Xuan. You should be from the outside of the island, right? There aren't many people left in this Thousand Arts City. If you don't have anywhere to go, you can come to my house. It's not too far away, and that's the house. " As she spoke, Bai Yan pointed to a house that had more than half its walls broken off.
