Qi Yuan City was the city closest to Beast God City, and Yu An reached it in three days by carriage.
A messenger from the Beast God Hall's branch temple, who had long been waiting outside the city, spotted the carriage and rushed forward to greet them.
A city as large as Qi Yuan City should have been bustling and prosperous, but the moment Yu An stepped out of her carriage, she sensed something was amiss.
As far as the eye could see, the streets were nearly empty. The few people she saw scurried along, looking as though they wished they had flaming wheels on their feet to get them home faster.
"It's related to that strange incident," Ao Yi said softly. "Hundreds of citizens have gone missing in Qi Yuan City, so now people are too afraid to go out."
