The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

Yes, Yu Jin is going to He Guan too. They don't need to rack their brains like this. Anyway, Yu Jin will definitely make a move in the end.

"There's no good way," Yu Jin said confidently.

"There's nothing I can do..."

"But I'm strong!"

Ember abruptly changed the subject, forcibly swallowing back what the stragglers were about to say.

"What's the use of being strong? Even with all my strength, I can't do anything." The young master looked around at the ships that were tightly connected together. He had to pull these ships over by himself in the first place!

"That's because you're not strong enough. Move aside!" Yu Jin glanced at the young master with disdain and waved his hand to make everyone else step back.

He reached behind him and pulled out a straight sword. The young master and the scattered soldiers stared wide-eyed, completely unable to see how Yu Jin had drawn his weapon.

"Watch closely, if you don't work hard, one wrong move might be made against you in the future!"

Yu Jin paid no attention to the gaze of the person behind him. He held the sword with both hands and held the blade slightly behind his back.

Combat Art: Storm Blade – Stoneville's lost combat art. Wrap the weapon with a storm blade and unleash a storm forward; can be cast consecutively.

"Sususu!"

A piercing howl of wind rose from the sea. A white glint appeared on the sword behind Yu Jin's back, growing brighter and brighter, accompanied by an increasingly louder sound.

"Hu-hu-hu-"

In just a few moments, the sound became deafening, causing everyone present to cover their ears.

When the white light on the blade became almost tangible, Ember swung the sword behind his back.

"boom!"

White light poured out from the sword, forming a huge, swirling vortex of wind.

The windball was initially only half the size of a human body, but as it moved forward, it grew larger and larger.

In the end, the wind mass was no longer a wind mass, but a storm swirling above the sea.

As the storm passed, the thick fog dissipated, and the sea parted. Blue skies and white clouds replaced the unchanging fog, once again becoming the familiar backdrop for others.

After wandering in the thick fog for so long, the crowd felt a sense of warmth and comfort upon seeing the blue sky and white clouds; just one glance was enough to refresh their spirits.

"I thought it was something else. It turns out it's just a phantom created by the earth's veins."

As the white mist dissipated, the shadow hidden within it was revealed to Ember.

Once the disguise was removed, the shadow appeared entirely of an illusory blue color, and anyone with discerning eyes could tell that it was a phantom that appeared when there was a problem with the ley lines.

Many ghost stories about places eventually come down to this reason.

"Look at you, scared like this by a mere ley line phantom. And you call yourself an Executor!" Ember sheathed his weapon and teased the skirmisher.

"Earth... earth veins, if it's earth veins, then it means we're not far from the land."

The stragglers forced themselves out of their shock. They looked to their sides, where a thick white curtain stretched to the horizon, with only their position receiving sunlight.

"Land?" Ember's ears twitched. Indeed, as the skirmisher had said, the presence of ley lines meant that land was not far away.

It's not that there are no anomalies in the seabed, but rather that these anomalies only affect the seabed itself, and we haven't seen any that can directly affect the sea surface.

"Boom!"

"Then what are we waiting for! Everyone row! We're almost at He Guan!" Yu Jin pulled out a copper gong he'd bought from a street stall in Liyue and started banging it hard.

The fools, still reeling from the shock, were jolted awake by the loud banging of gongs. Looking around, they saw the fog that had parted on either side due to the storm beginning to close again.

"Dang! Dang! Dang!"

Upon seeing this, the prince and the scattered soldiers quickly cut the chains connecting the ship to the hull, and then shouted to the other ships beside them:

"Everyone, full speed ahead! Make sure you see land before the fog closes in!"

At the command of the young master and the scattered soldiers, the surrounding ships sped forward. Without the two men needing to monitor them closely, the fleet unleashed a speed it had never achieved before.

Previous experiences have fully demonstrated the eeriness of the fog surrounding Heguan. No normal person would want to sail in such fog.

The ship cut through the waves, just as the skirmishers had said before they set off: a human-powered ship is not necessarily slower than a machine-powered ship, and the Fools have now done just that.

Of course, how long this high-energy state can last is unknown; it's not as stable as an engine running.

However, judging from the current momentum of the Fools, they are still far from exhausting themselves, a fact that became even more apparent after a black line appeared at the edge of their vision.

This proves once again that human potential is limitless. Just as the thick fog was about to completely close in, the speeding fleet rushed towards the shore.

"Huh...huh..."

"My...my hand...is going to cramp..."

"In this lifetime... I never want to see anything like a boat oar, I... I feel like throwing up..."

……

The fools helped each other to the shallows of the island, and as soon as they stepped onto the ground, many of them collapsed.

"Get up right now! Keep moving forward!" Seeing the Fools lying flat on the beach like salted fish, the stragglers were furious.

They had finally made it ashore, but they couldn't immediately go and investigate. The stragglers felt a pang of anxiety, as if being scratched by a cat.

"Go by yourself if you want, I need to rest for a while too." Upon hearing the words of the scattered soldiers, the young master immediately followed the example of the fools on the ground and slumped down on the ground as well.

Did you really think activating the Demon King Armor was an easy thing for him? The young master acted as if nothing was wrong before, but that was because the situation was strange, and he was just putting on a brave face for the sake of morale.

Now that he could finally breathe a sigh of relief, the young master immediately stopped pretending.

"you……"

"What do you mean, 'what ...

Upon seeing the soldier's furrowed brows, the young master immediately interrupted him.

The dense fog over Heguan not only exists on the sea surface, but also envelops the entire Heguan Island.

In just a short while, the dissipated fog returned. The thick fog blocked the sunlight from reaching the ground, leaving very little light.

This makes Tsukkan Island, shrouded in fog, seem to be perpetually in darkness.

"I didn't expect you to say something so reasonable?" Ember emerged from the mist.

"boom!"

The heavy object landed, causing the fog to swirl slightly.

"What is this?" The skirmisher was some distance from Ember, so he only saw Ember throw a lump of shadow onto the ground.

"Firewood." A flame appeared at Yu Jin's fingertip, and then he flicked his finger, and the flame rose up.

The bonfire, several meters high, burned fiercely. Although the visibility in the fog above the Crane Pavilion was less than ten meters, the thick fog was still torn open by the firelight.

The Fools, lying dead on the ground, saw the rising firelight and, ignoring their aches and pains, all moved closer.

The fog nearby is getting thicker and thicker; no one knows what will happen if they are swallowed up by it.

"By the way, what about our ship?"

Standing by the campfire, Ember looked around and realized that he could no longer see the sea in that direction.

The fog here is really thick.

"Where did you get this wood?" the soldier asked, glancing at the embers.

"Chopped? You think I transformed into that?"

"That's exactly what I thought just now."

The stragglers nodded, then said nonchalantly:

"Since there is wood on the island, we can rebuild it. It's just a few boats; once they're gone, they're gone."

Chapter 476 Ember Sign Light

"So generous? I hope you'll work just as hard in the future." Yu Jin patted the soldier's shoulder with hopeful words as he saw the soldier waving nonchalantly.

"Work?" A hint of doubt appeared in the soldier's eyes. He quickly realized what Yu Jin was doing at He Guan.

He came to Heguan to find out what was here that would give Balzeb a hard time.

What about Ember? It can't be like that too, can it? The soldiers felt that Ember's continued presence in Inazuma was already a headache for Balzeb.

"I remember you were the one who suggested going to Heguan first. What are you coming to Heguan for?"

The stragglers turned to the embers and asked.

Ember did not respond immediately. He merely glanced at the Fools gathered around the campfire; without exception, their faces were filled with exhaustion.

The harder they rowed back then, the more sore they are now.

"Before you ask me this question, shouldn't you answer one of my questions first?"

"Did you have any involvement in Inazuma's isolation edict and eye-hunting edict?"

Upon hearing this, the young master, who had just been resting with his eyes closed, trembled and leaped up from the beach in a somersault.

"It's none of my business. I don't know anything about it. If you ask me who owes money to the Northern Bank, I can rattle off a whole list of names right away."

"But all I can understand is debt collection; these policy-related matters are definitely none of my business!"

The young master quickly waved his hand, hastily distancing himself from the matter.

However, under everyone's gaze, the young master's movements gradually slowed down, mainly because he had become the center of attention, which made him quite embarrassed.

"Since you asked that, it seems you've received some definite information. Indeed, I admit that the Immunity Order and the Eye Hunt Order did have elements of the Fools' Sect involved."

"What? Did you specifically bring us here so you could make your move easier?"

The stragglers maintained their composure, their eyes never leaving Yu Jin as they spoke, fearing that Yu Jin might suddenly turn on them.

Upon hearing the words of the scattered soldiers, the young master's eyes darted around erratically—he was considering where he should run if he were to escape later.

"Haha, do I look like such a bloodthirsty person?" Seeing the skirmishers and the young master's little tricks, Yu Jin couldn't help but laugh out loud.

“I can see… never mind, you probably can’t.” Yu Jin put one arm around the stragglers’ neck and pointed to the thick fog in the distance, wanting him to see the desolate Crane Pass.

However, after realizing that the skirmishers' vision couldn't penetrate the thick fog, he decisively lowered his arm.
