Chapter 98: Desolate Qishui City

Jiang Yantian himself also wanted to laugh.

I came out to find a place to fish, and unexpectedly I managed to catch such a beautiful girl with animal ears.

A lot of nice looking ones.

It’s a romantic affair!

This time, I gained a lot.

Come to think of it, I haven't dealt with the demon clan yet.

I must collect more monsters later.

What a fox spirit, what a snake spirit.

It seems that the foxes are all in the Qingqiu Mountain area. We should go and poke the fox den when the time comes.

The fox tribe usually has a saint, who must be beautiful.

Jiang Yantian returned to Xuanling Sect.

He was too lazy to go over to Qin Xuan's side.

That guy might be "guiding" over at Hualong Tianchi, it's an eyesore.

He is a son of luck, and he talks about Dafei every day. It would be very interesting if the news got out.

I will go there tomorrow and use the photo stone to record the beautiful life while Qin Xuan is guiding me.

Then put it over at Tengwang Pavilion for people to appreciate.

It is played in rotation every day, and the humiliation value is also rising.

Jiang Yantian laughed secretly in his heart and stretched lazily.

It’s actually still early at this time. I had promised Tan Taiyue before that I would take her to Qishui City.

It’s okay to go now.

He hasn't been back for a long, long time, even though the people living there now are not the same familiar folks he used to be.

But it is still necessary to make a final trip and say goodbye to that homeland.

After all, it is where he first came out.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yantian prepared to go to Qinglan Peak.

Just as I was getting ready to go, what I wished for came true.

Tan Tai Yue's figure has appeared.

She is still as heroic as ever, wearing a red dress.

She walked towards Jiang Yantian.

"Jiang... Jiang Yantian, didn't we agree before that we would go to Qishui City together?"

Before Jiang Yantian could even speak, Tan Taiyue had already stated her purpose.

Seeing that she was quite anxious, Jiang Yantian smiled and said, "Remember, I was just about to go find you. If you have time now, let's go back together!"

The reason why Tan Taiyue spoke so anxiously was because she was afraid that Jiang Yantian had forgotten.

Now it seems that I have thought too much.

"Well, I'm free now, let's go together!"

Jiang Yantian nodded, walked to her side and held her hand.

Tan Taiyue's heart skipped a beat and her body tensed up.

She was actually held by the hand.

But before she could say anything, she felt her body lighten, and she and Jiang Yantian disappeared from the spot in an instant.

Yuanying stage masters have the ability to teleport and do not need to fly at all.

A distance of a thousand miles is covered in a flash.

When Tan Taiyue reacted, she and Jiang Yantian were already outside Qishui City.

Tan Taiyue was actually still feeling a little lost.

I thought I would take a flying boat with Jiang Yantian, or fly in a flying vehicle.

That way at least there will be plenty of time to talk on the way.

But now, the moment has arrived.

However, Tan Tai Yue didn't have the heart to think about these things.

Looking down from a high vantage point, she returned to her old place and looked at everything that was once familiar to her, with mixed feelings in her heart.

It’s not that she can’t come here, but coming here always brings back those memories that make her feel painful.

Fortunately, Jiang Yantian is by her side, bringing her psychological comfort.

Qishui City, as the name suggests, water!

The name comes from the big river that runs through the city.

But now it looks desolate.

After a natural disaster, there will naturally be a severe drought, but as long as there is water, it will not turn into a disaster.

The former water city now looks more like a desert, with yellow soil blown by the wind and extremely barren.

Jiang Yantian was also watching everything below.

There is no big wave in my heart.

Every region is different, and Qishui City is a relatively remote city.

Although both are cities of the Yanyang Dynasty, the gap between them and some big cities is quite large.

When good policies are introduced, I guess no one would think of this side, but they suffer and fail all at once.

When the disaster struck, the imperial orders to increase taxes and levy corvee labor were implemented cleanly and efficiently.

I wish I could take away all the surplus food in the people's homes and let them eat it.

As a result, some escaped, some died, and some were killed.

Although the disaster has passed, the devastation left behind has not changed. Even though many places have been rebuilt, people are still unable to get enough food.

Qishui City was completely ruined.

Barely enough for some outsiders to stay.

As for food, it all depends on fate.

"Let's go down and take a look!" Jiang Yantian pulled up Tan Taiyue's slender hand and dropped directly to the ground.

Once I got to the ground, I really felt like I was facing the earth and my back was facing the sky.

The air was filled with that kind of dust.

Not to mention humans, even dogs will get sick after coming here for a short time.

Outside the city, many people were digging soil in the dried-up river. The soil was a little moist, and some water could be squeezed out.

It is probably the only source of water.

"This place is so barren, why don't they leave?" Tan Taiyue asked curiously.

Jiang Yantian secretly thought that the girl was naive.

"You are a cultivator, and you only need to fly away from here, but don't forget that Qishui City is an isolated city, and the nearest city is more than 600 miles away."

"The people here have no supplies. The dust they inhale over a long period of time has made them physically weak. Not to mention whether they will encounter bandits, wild beasts or strange animals on their way out."

"Without water and food, they can't leave. Here, they have a place to stay. Although the food and water can't make them full, at least they can fill their mouths."

"It's better to live a miserable life than to die a good death, that's what it means!"

Hearing Jiang Yantian's words, Tan Taiyue was also shocked.

Every word Jiang Yantian said was true, this was the reality.

The two entered the city, and Jiang Yantian looked towards an alley on the right.

This is also a familiar place.

Tan Taiyue remained silent the entire time, following behind Jiang Yantian.

The alley is a shady place, and there are people sitting on the roadside.

When you see people as glamorous as Jiang Yantian and Tan Taiyue, you can tell at a glance that they are wealthy outsiders.

They all came forward immediately.

"Master, Master, please give me something to eat, please give me something to eat!"

Once there was one, there would be two, and they surrounded him one by one.

Jiang Yantian's expression was indifferent, and he was not moved at all.

Instead, it was Tan Tai Yue who felt compassion.

She was about to take out some dry food from her storage bag.

Tan Tai Yue is also a Jindan cultivator. He has been practicing fasting and does not need to eat.

But there are still some dry food.

"Don't give it!"

Just when Tan Taiyue was about to take it, Jiang Yantian spoke lightly.

Tan Taiyue was stunned: "I have some dry food. We don't need to eat it anyway, so just give it to them!"

Jiang Yantian looked around and said, "If we make a noise here, more people will come over. How many people can your dry food feed?"

Tan Taiyue murmured in a low voice: "But, it's good to let them eat a little!"

Jiang Yantian glanced at Tan Taiyue and frowned slightly.

Seeing Jiang Yantian frowning, Tan Taiyue was startled and thought she had said something wrong.

"You have experienced a great disaster. When people are hungry to a certain extent, they become wild beasts. It will be useless even if you can distribute food evenly to everyone."

"It is human nature to be prepared for danger in times of peace. If we have something to eat, we will think about the next meal. What do you think will happen to those who don't finish their meals?"

Tan Taiyue was stunned.

"Look at that woman!" Jiang Yantian pointed at a weak woman over there and said, "If you distribute the dry food today, she will die soon and she will not even have the dry food!"

"Human beings are inherently evil, and disaster victims are even more like evil spirits. Don't expect evil spirits to behave in a polite manner. Instead of doing this, it's better to let them continue to live like this!"
