Chapter 1000: Soul Leaving Xiliang
How could such a prosperous city fall?
The scale of this city is even much larger than Xuanqing City. The most important thing is that there are no human bones here.
The two of them walked around the city for a long time. There was no life here. The sky was clear and cloudless, but there was not even a flying bird.
"It's really strange. These ruins aren't in disarray, which means they don't seem to have been destroyed by an attack or war. There's not even any ghostly aura. Could it be that everyone here disappeared overnight?"
Even if they were eaten, there should be signs of someone escaping with their family, instead of like now, where the streets and houses are very clear, as if someone was living here a moment ago.
Jun Xuanche said, "Perhaps he disappeared in the space tunnel."
This way no trace of anyone will be left.
Yun Guiyue nodded, "That makes sense."
But she always felt there was something else going on.
“Crack—”
A wooden board under his feet was crushed. Yun Guiyue bent down to pick up the board. The three words "Book Collection Pavilion" could still be vaguely inferred on it.
Compared with other buildings, this library is relatively well preserved, with a large section of wall still remaining, but it is covered with dust and its original appearance cannot be seen clearly.
As soon as Yun Guiyue approached, Jun Xuanche waved his sleeves and made a cleansing gesture, and the dust on the ground disappeared in the blink of an eye.
What was revealed were large pieces of text from that era, densely carved all over the wall, until the end, the handwriting became increasingly sloppy and smaller.
It seems like I am in a panic and want to record everything, but there is not enough time and the wall is not big enough.
Just by looking at the handwriting, Yun Guiyue could feel the despair and helplessness of the person who left the letter.
Yun Guiyue had studied previous books, so he was familiar with these words.
This records the reason for the disappearance of this city.
This city, originally called Xiliang City, is part of the fifth continent.
The people in the city live and work in peace and contentment. Under the leadership of the city lord, everyone is proficient in cultivation and their business is booming.
Due to its advantageous geographical location, it not only has spiritual veins, but also can cultivate a variety of rare medicinal herbs.
Most of the alchemists, weapon refiners, and beast tamers in the city are excellent, and the city can achieve self-sufficiency. In just a few years, it has developed to a level that other cities cannot match. The strength of the city lord is at the top of the entire fifth continent.
Therefore, the city lord looked down on other cities and tried his best to separate this city into a separate space, and also split the fertile land and rare resources together. He even almost sucked out the spiritual power of the entire Western Wilderness, wanting everyone here to become powerful.
Everyone began to focus on cultivation and neglected their lives.
Until a plague broke out here.
The plague spreads extremely quickly, especially here because the population is dense and the space is completely blocked from the outside world. If they want to survive, they can only ask the city lord for help to open up a space tunnel for them to go to the outside world.
However, the city lord had already contracted the plague and was not very capable. The space tunnel he opened was dangerous. It was unknown whether the people who entered could escape, and they might stay in the Six Paths forever.
So he left this wall letter just to record the glory and fall of Xiliang City.
"Xiliang's existence can be called a legend, but it disappeared here. I hope that those who come here in the future can bring Xiliang's past with them. If they cannot leave Xiliang physically, they hope that their souls can leave Xiliang..."
