Why did the prosperous city turn into a dead city after the black fog?
Now everything is clear. It was all caused by the Sky Demon Spiders; those people were all eaten by them.
The four Guardian Gods, and even the entire Longxia, are not fond of people from Western countries. Qin Yi doesn't like them either, but he understands how these Sky Demon Spiders came to Earth.
Because he obtained the Eye of Righteous and Evil and opened the passage between the Primordial and Earth, so many demons appeared.
All beings are equal. The West is indeed detestable, but not all Westerners are bad people; among those who died, there are indeed good and innocent people.
Therefore, Qin Yi cannot take pleasure in the misfortune of others.
All he can do now is pray that the cultivators in the West will act quickly to slay the Sky Demon Spiders so that these beasts do not harm the human world.
Qin Yi is filled with remorse and annoyance.
Although he did not deliberately seek to obtain the Eye of Righteous and Evil and open the passage between the Primordial and Earth, the fact is that countless innocent people died because of him.
He did not kill Boren, but Boren died because of him.
He must find a way to close the passage connecting the Primordial and Earth.
Actually, he is anxious to go to the Primordial for two reasons: first, to save Yiyi, and second, he wonders if the passage connecting the two spaces would close if he went to the Primordial himself.
That night, Qin Yi stayed in front of the TV, where there was indeed a lot of news ing about the black fog appearing in the West.
He checked the news online, becoming more and more alarmed as he read.
Due to the appearance of the Sky Demon Spiders, dozens of cities in Western countries had turned into dead cities, with countless deaths, and there was still no accurate figure.
But even without calculating, one could imagine how terrifying this number was.
He felt a knot blocking his heart.
The key point was that the response from Western countries was somewhat slow; the cultivators had yet to take action. The cities were frequently shrouded in black fog, and for the time being, only official military forces were taking action.
However, the black fog was too terrifying and corrosive, so the army dared not go too deep; they could only patrol the periphery. But each entry resulted in heavy casualties, having little effect.
As strong as an army might be, it is still made up of mortal bodies that cannot withstand the corruption of Demonic Qi. Specialized protective suits were yet to be developed.
Qin Yi could only pray in his heart for those innocent people and hope that the Qi Refiners of the West would quickly appear. Only they could withstand the corrosion of the Demonic Qi and slay those Sky Demon Spiders.
"Honey, are you alright?"
When going to bed, Xia Yanbing found Qin Yi frowning deeply, looking absent-minded.
Qin Yi shook his head, deciding to keep these troubles to himself rather than letting those around him worry too.
Moreover, he could not tell anyone about opening the passage between the Primordial and Earth, as no one would believe him.
That night, unusually, Qin Yi did not cuddle Xia Yanbing to sleep. Normally, he would skip cultivation to hug her, but today he just wasn't in the mood. After coaxing Xia Yanbing to sleep, he went alone to another room to cultivate.
But his mind was disturbed, unable to enter meditation, only able to sit in a daze.
As dawn approached, Qin Yi barely managed to calm his thoughts and enter cultivation.
But just after entering meditation, he was startled awake by the sound of an urgent phone ring.
It was Bai Siyin calling. Qin Yi frowned, feeling a sense of foreboding. A call from Bai Siyin at this time surely meant something important.
"Hello, Xiao Bai?" Qin Yi answered the phone.
"Qin Yi, bad news, a village in the north has been shrouded in black fog."
Qin Yi immediately tensed. The thing he feared most had happened; Longxia indeed had a Sky Demon Spider.
"Tell me in detail."
"I just got the news, a black fog appeared in the northern Hongye Village, and it's spreading. Up ahead is the county town, and Shanlin City is just over a hundred kilometers away."
"Xiao Bai, send my orders. Have all the Peace Army personnel gather at Hongye Village as quickly as possible."
"Yes."
Qin Yi got up and returned to the room, waking Xia Yanbing.
Knowing Qin Yi woke her at this time meant something important had happened.
"Honey, what happened?"
"A Sky Demon Spider appeared domestically; I need to check it out."
Xia Yanbing was shocked, "It appeared domestically too? Where?"
"A small village."
Xia Yanbing admonished, "Honey, you must go quickly, and please be careful."
Qin Yi nodded, "Don't worry, I will come back unscathed."
This was his eternal promise to Xia Yanbing, no matter what dangers he faced; he promised her he would come back unharmed.
"Dear, please take care of the matters at Tiger Roar Mountain, look after the baby and everyone, and wait for my return."
Xia Yanbing nodded emphatically, "Don't worry! I'll take care of everything here."
Qin Yi gently pecked her on the lips and then turned to leave.
Once outside, Qin Yi thought for a bit and decided to inform Azure Dragon and the others.
"Do you need us to go with you?"
"I'll check out the situation first. If I need your help, I'll send someone to notify you."
"Alright, be careful on your way!"
Qin Yi nodded slightly, then soared into the sky and vanished as a streamer in the horizon.
...
Hongye Village, located in the north, with a population of less than a thousand.
This village is nestled against a large mountain, offering beautiful scenery. It is an old village, with houses exuding a sense of age. In recent years, tourism has boomed, and the villagers' lives have been prosperous.
However, the whole village was now screaming in terror, fleeing outwards as the rolling black fog loomed from behind, covering the sky and sweeping towards them.
The people, panic-stricken, were mostly still in their pajamas, having been awakened from their dreams.
Looking panic-stricken, they fled desperately, as if a ferocious beast was chasing them from behind.
Indeed there were monsters in the black fog; even though they didn't know what they were, whenever someone got caught in the black fog while running, people would inexplicably disappear.
The unknown is the most terrifying thing.
They didn't know what was in the black fog, but they knew that if it touched them, they were doomed. As ordinary people, all they could do was run for their lives.
The black fog was spreading rapidly, and the village was already shrouded in it.
Out of hundreds in the village, only a few dozen escaped, trembling and huddled together, looking in horror at the halted black fog.
Some cried hysterically, some were paralyzed with fear, but their loved ones were left in the black fog.
Eventually, supporting and encouraging each other, they headed towards the county town dozens of kilometers away.
Several hours later, over a dozen figures appeared at the entrance of the village.
They were members of the Zhu Family from Shanlin City's Guardian Family. As soon as they received the news, they ed it to the authorities and organized a team to rush here immediately.
Gazing at the swirling black fog, each of them wore a solemn expression.
They knew about these black fogs, which turned many Western cities into dead cities.
However, faced with this sky-covering black fog, they were helpless and did not know how to deal with it.
