"Why does the city play such an important role in the Heavenly Cauldron?" Lin Xing asked in confusion.

Meng Luo Yu's face changed, and said with a trembling voice, "Because of the demon beast horde, it won't be long before you know."

Since she didn't want to say it, there was no need for Lin Xing to continue asking. He shut his mouth and followed behind her.

Before long, they arrived outside of a city. The city was mottled with rust, and as they got closer, their auras became increasingly thick and filled with an endless ancient aura.

Lin Qi stared at the colossal creature in front of him, his face filled with shock. If he had guessed correctly, this colossal city in front of him should have been left behind since the Primordial Era.

Meng Luo Yu, the woman, and the old man beside her, on the other hand, didn't change their expressions at all. They continued to lead Lin Xing into the city.

"This is the Moon's Edge City. Seven hundred years ago, an ancestor of the Warring Heaven Alliance occupied this city and changed its name to Moon's City. He established this branch of ours here." Meng Luo Yu explained.

Lin Qi thoughtfully nodded his head. As he walked into the city, he saw more than a dozen figures.

Seeing Meng Luo Yu come back, they all went up to greet her.

"Hallmaster, you've brought a newcomer back. He's just a newcomer, there's no need for you to go. Just let me go." A girl walked up and said to Meng Luo Yu.

Although these were the words spoken, their gazes were still filled with enthusiasm as they gazed at Lin Xing. Currently, the Hall of Argent was in dire need of fresh blood.

Lin Qi sized up the group of Heavenly Cauldron Monsters. At first, he was fine, but his gaze suddenly stopped at a single person. He then felt as if his heart was struck by raging waves.

The person he was looking at was a child who was about seven or eight years old. His voice was soft and gentle, and he had a porcelain doll face that people couldn't help but want to pinch.

When Lin Qi saw this child, his eyes almost bulged out of their sockets. What kind of monster was this tiny Heavenly Cauldron Monster?

"What, you were shocked by this little fellow?" I heard that there's a two year old monster in the Black Tortoise Alliance. " Meng Luo Yu walked over and pinched the child's cheek, then turned around and smiled at Lin Qi.

"Ugh …" Lin Qi was numb. Other than being speechless, there was nothing else he could say.

Humph, there's actually someone younger than me in the Heavenly Cauldron. Let's see when I won't go to the Black Tortoise Alliance and trample over him. The child brandished his fists, and his small face that was like a porcelain doll rolled up as he spoke in an extremely domineering manner.

Lin Qi could not take it anymore. This was too much of a blow to him.

Meng Luo Yu then took her hand away from the child, and ordered the beautiful woman beside him: "Take this newbie to where the Hidden Lord lives, and find a room for him."

"Yes, Palace Lord." The beautiful woman replied with a smile.

"From now on, you are a member of my palace. Rest in peace for now, and every five days I will send someone to bring ten spirit crystals to your residence. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask Tan Zhen." Meng Luo Yu said to Lin Xing.

"Spirit crystal?" Lin Qi was stunned for a moment.

"Hehe, the Spirit Crystals in this Heavenly Cauldron are not ordinary Spirit Crystals. They are all of the highest quality and the Spiritual Energy contained within them is even more useful to us than divine powers or celestial spiritual energy." The lady called Tan Cheng explained with a smile.

Lin Qi replied with an "Oh" and did not continue asking. As for how useful it was, he would know in five days.

"Alright, follow me. I'll take you to find a place to stay. I'll settle you down first." Tan Cheng walked towards the depths of the city with large strides.

Lin Qi and Old Shangqi also followed him naturally.

The buildings inside the city were rather ancient, and most of them emitted an ancient aura. They were mottled with rust, but the construction was very regular.

As he walked, Lin Xing saw a few young men scattered around. When he saw Tan pure, he nodded and smiled. Some people even smiled at Lin Xing, treating him as a simple form of courtesy.

Not long after, Tan Chun brought Lin Xing and Old Feng Qi to a row of stone houses in an alley. The houses seemed to be made of piles of boulders and were filled with cracks. They were also very old.

"No one lives in these two rooms, the two of you stay here for now. If you need anything, come find me. If you can't find me, then ask someone." Tan Jie pointed at the two stone houses in front of them.

Lin Qi nodded his head as he looked around.

"Also, since you're the one who brought the person here, you have the responsibility to look favorably upon this old fogey. He doesn't have the orders from my World Alliance, so if anything happens here, my hall won't be responsible." Tan Chun looked at old Feng Qi with cold eyes, and said sternly towards Lin Xing.

"Got it, I will take responsibility for the people I brought with me." Lin Qi answered seriously.

"That's good. I have a plan in mind." Tan Cheng nodded his head in satisfaction. The latter part of his words seemed to be hinting at Lin Qi. As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Lin Qi turned around and said to that wretched face, "You old fart, you can stay in the room next to mine. You heard what that woman said. If you were to be mistakenly killed by the Qi Scholar from the Mt. Everlasting Palace, they would not be responsible."

"Humph, you little fellow, you seem to have a good eye, but why are you so blind? Come, tell me, with this old man's strength, who can kill me with this Sky Cauldron?" The old man's face was filled with displeasure as he roared in anger.

Hearing him boast, Lin Xing felt a headache coming on. He could not be bothered with him and pushed open the stone door.

"Sigh. "However, little brother, thank you so much this time. The beast tide is about to arrive. Without the protection of the city, this old man's old bones will really fall apart." Old Cangqi pulled Lin Qi's arm and said in a very euphemistic tone.

Hearing this, Lin Xing's heart chilled. He turned around and stared into the old man's eyes as he asked, "Beast tide, what kind of beast tide?"

After hearing the word "beast tide" twice, Lin Qi couldn't help but be surprised in his heart.

As soon as the word "beast wave" came out of his mouth, Lin Qi saw that old man's face had changed drastically, becoming the color of a pig's liver. In addition, more or less, fear was revealed in his eyes.

"Don't ask, you'll know after a while." The old man did not answer Lin Xing's question. Instead, he pushed open the stone door in front of him, entered the room in a sorry state, and heavily closed the door behind him.

Lin Qi was helpless, but he secretly remembered the word "Beast Upheaval" in his heart. He remembered that when Meng Luo Yu said those two words, her face was filled with fear.

A monster tide that could cause so many Heavenly Cauldron Monsters to be afraid of it must be something extremely dangerous.
