The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

"Furthermore, Ember, have you noticed that the purple light we saw outside has also disappeared?"

The screen was torn open, and the two then discovered that the end of the corridor they were in was a wide square.

"What you're saying seems to make sense." Yu Jin nodded; it seemed there was indeed something fishy going on here.

"Tuk! Tuk! Tuk!"

Everything around was extremely quiet, with only the echoes of Yu Jin and the footsteps of Shinoin Heizo reverberating.

This space truly resembles a huge, abandoned mansion.

"Sizzle... sizzle... sizzle..."

Just as the two were moving forward, a piercing buzzing sound suddenly came from their silent surroundings.

It sounded like the surging of thunder, but there was also a hint of resentful roar within it.

Then, wisps of purplish-black energy peeked out from the railings on both sides of the corridor. They stood out sharply from everything around them, like agile tentacles.

As the tentacles approached, a floating magical artifact instantly appeared in his hand.

He held up the ever-turning pages of the magical artifact in one hand, while clenching his five fingers tightly in the other.

With the combined blessing of magical runes and the Eye of God, countless wind elemental forces gathered on Hirazo Shinoin's clenched fist, making it exceptionally bright.

"Unity of Mind and Heart!"

Hirazo Shinoin slammed his fist into the ground, unleashing all the elemental power he had accumulated.

"Boom!"

The wooden planks were shredded into pieces by the sweeping wind, fluttering down like a heavy snowfall. The purple material that had just emerged from the drafty fence was immediately dispersed by the gale, unable to reach the two people.

The corridor floor was lifted up, and even the hard rock underneath was sheared off by Kanoin Heizo, but the walls on both sides of the corridor were completely undamaged.

The purplish-black mist that had just been blown away was now blowing out again from the ventilation grilles beneath the wall.

"Get out of here! We can't stay in the hallway!"

Without even thinking, Kanoin Heizo knew that these strange gases must be related to the evil spirits, and might even be the evil spirits themselves.

"Understood!" Yu Jin immediately followed behind Shinoin Heizo.

He saw the ventilation fence emitting a continuous stream of purplish-black gas and quietly took a breath.

Very well, it's not a malevolent spirit, but rather the remnants of a demon god.

These two are essentially the same thing. The evil spirit is the resentment of a dead demon god, while the remnant of a demon god is the corpse of a dead demon god.

"Tsk, this is quite dangerous," Yu Jin muttered to himself. Then, an empty pot engraved with ceremonial patterns appeared in his hand.

Ritual Jar – An empty jar that will restore itself even if broken. A special item with greater load-bearing capacity than a cracked jar, used as a container for crafting ritual jars and similar items.

Various materials and spells can be sealed inside the pot, and they will take effect after being thrown out.

"Absorb it!" By raising the ritual jar above his head, Ember activated the sealing runes within.

The rising demonic remnants seemed to be pulled by an invisible hand, surging wildly into the ritual jar above the embers' head.

Soon, a ritual vessel radiating a purple light appeared in his hand.

Chapter 432 An Alternative Hypnotic Pot

2024-01-19

The interior of the cliffs on Ba Yun Island is surprisingly vast. Large enough to build a multi-story factory and associated warehouses.

"There shouldn't be any problems here!"

Heizo Kanoin glanced at the solid wood floor beneath his feet. The chilling purple aura from before hadn't returned, which relieved him.

“There’s a big problem.” Ember toyed with the ritual pot that emitted a purple light in his hand and pointed to the wary Fools in the corner.

At the end of the corridor was a spacious training ground. Of course, it wasn't used for fighting.

Ember guessed that this was where the Fools held meetings in this stronghold.

This stronghold of the Fools, hidden in the mountains, is divided into several levels, and this can be clearly seen from this plaza.

The main problem was that the layers upon layers of Fools were too conspicuous, making it impossible for Ember to ignore them.

"You two! What are you doing!" A shout came from all around, but because the crowd was too dense, Yu Jin didn't know who shouted it.

"Phew—, folks, is there any point in asking this?"

"Don't tell me you accidentally released that poison gas." Shinoin Heizo took a few steps back and stood with Ember.

"Hey! Great Adventurer, can you hold them off? I need to scout out the terrain!"

Heizo Kanoin asked the embers in a low voice. He looked up at the surrounding wooden buildings, which were dimly lit, with uniform stripes and multiple layers. Looking up from here, it was like being deep in a maze.

If no one goes to explore the terrain, they will probably be trapped and killed by the Fools.

"Hold them off?" Upon hearing Kanoin Heizo's request, Yu Jin looked at the purple ritual vessel in his hand and nodded emphatically.

"No problem, leave it to me!"

"Okay! I'll be right back!"

Upon hearing Ember's confident reply, Kanoin Heizo turned and ran deep into the Evil Eye Factory.

"Kid, now that you're here, stay put!" The Fools certainly wouldn't allow anyone else to roam freely in such an important place.

As soon as Kanoin Heizo and Kanoin separated, soldiers of the Fools immediately approached him.

"You're the ones who should be here! Take my hypnotic arrow!"

With a nock of arrows, Yu Jin raised his hand and shot out several arrows that shimmered with a holy purple light.

Hypnotic Arrows – Bone arrows with the arrowhead coated with water lily ointment. They have the effect of inducing a hypnotic state.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

The arrows pierced the bodies of the moving Fool soldiers with pinpoint accuracy. The Fool soldiers, who had been charging menacingly toward Shinoin Heizo, immediately collapsed to the ground as if their bones had been removed.

Upon seeing this scene, both Kanoin Heizo and the surrounding Fools were shocked.

Kanoin Heizo touched his cheek. The gusts of wind from the arrows had just grazed his face, making him almost think he was about to be hit.

Recalling the moment when he fought Kujo Sara at the martial arts tournament, Kanoin Heizo vaguely felt that Ember's archery was even better than Kujo Daisho's!

However, the arrow's landing point... Kanoin Heizo looked around at the unconscious fools lying on the ground, and they all had one thing in common.

That is, each of them had a dangling arrow stuck in their buttocks.

"..."

Rubbing his eyes, Kanoin Heizo ran straight away. The great adventurer Alice, who had visited Inazuma before, had made the Third Magistrate extremely uncomfortable; judging from this… perhaps all great adventurers have some kind of problem!

Unbeknownst to him, Kanoin Heizo had found a reasonable explanation for Yu Jin's behavior.

"Looks like my aim is pretty good." Seeing that no one was chasing Shinoin Heizo anymore, Yu Jin turned around to face the horde of fools in front of him.

"Tell me! What is this place? Tell me the truth! Otherwise, you'll be sorry!"

Facing the Fools before him, Ember took the initiative and began to question them.

This almost confused the Fatui on the other side; anyone who didn't know better would think this was Ember's territory.

"Knowing too much is not good." With a cold snort, a dense array of gun barrels were pointed at Ember.

Moreover, the melee units among the Fools, such as the Wind Fist and Thunder Hammer, were also slowly approaching the Ember, their elemental power surging.

Ember's archery skills had truly frightened them. In Teyvat, having a "gun" doesn't mean you can completely dominate archers.

A skilled archer could split mountains and shatter rocks with a single arrow, and even take down an enemy from a thousand miles away.

If we really want to compete, we'll have to use cannons.

However, the Fools here obviously do not have such good firepower, and deep in the mountains, even if they had cannons, they would not dare to fire them.

Otherwise, if the mountain collapses, everyone will be buried with it.

"Fire!"

"Wait! Let me..."

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Just as Yu Jin was about to say something, a series of flashes of light shot out from the dark muzzle of the gun, and the resulting smoke and sound completely obscured his figure and voice.

"Bah..."

Amidst the grayish-white smoke, a splash of purple suddenly appeared.

The Fools, who were loading their weapons and cautiously approaching, stared in utter horror. Even though they were all wearing masks, they couldn't hide their overflowing panic.

"Damn it! Retreat! Who released the remnants of the demon god?!"

Amid a series of gasps, the Fools retreated step by step. Clearly, they understood the danger of the demon's remnants better than anyone else.

"I told you to wait, is it my fault for not having ears?" Ember emerged from a pile of purple demonic debris.

Beside his feet lay the ritual jar, which had just been shattered by the Fools. The rising demonic remnants were emanating from the broken jar.

The remnants of the demon god seemed to sense the breath of life; they seemed to come alive all at once, surging towards the retreating crowd like madmen.

"Boom!"

"Clap!"

"Clang!"

The sounds of heads hitting the ground, freefall, and clashing weapons filled the air. Under such a high concentration of demonic remnants, even the soldiers of the Fatui wouldn't last long.

Whether it's on the ground or hidden high up, once the remnants of the demon god are covered, it won't be long before that place falls into a deathly silence.

"Hypnotic jar?" Ember raised an eyebrow as he looked at the Fools sprawled on the ground.

However, this hypnotic pot seems to have some significant side effects.

Even if these fools don't die, they'll probably be tormented by the remnants of the demon god within them.

"This won't do. Are you all going to die like this? Are you going to make me clean up this mess?" Yu Jin thought for a moment and realized that the current situation of Inazuma was definitely partly due to the Jujitsu.

Want to die? At least clean up this mess before you die!
