Although, according to the words of that Great Sage Who Subdued Demons, the Thousand Rock Army and the sorcerers no longer possess the power they once had.

After all, peacetime makes people weaker, but there is also the Seven Star Secretary, Gan Yu, a half-immortal beast. The aura emanating from him made Dadalia feel the danger.

The opponent is also a very formidable foe, and if it were a one-on-one fight, Tartaglia would be very willing to fight him.

But she wasn't alone; Yuhengxing Keqing and Miss Yelan from the General Affairs Department were both formidable individuals.

At this moment, although D'Artagnan was very anxious, he still had to appear calm on the surface, as if he had come out to collect a debt.

“Behave yourself, young master.” Keqing looked at D'Artagnan and said seriously, “As long as you stay still, we will not harm you.”

“Your actions with your servant are highly suspicious. I will restrict your movements for half a day in my capacity as the Jade Balance Star.”

"If you dare to resist, then from this moment on, Liyue will regard you, Zhidong, as enemies!"

Keqing's voice was serious; she wasn't joking. If D'Artagnan dared to resist, she would definitely attack without hesitation.

Although the Fatui Enforcers were strong, Keqing was not unprepared. Even knowing that Tartaglia possessed the authority of the Ice Queen, she showed no fear.

Keqing had already told Ganyu about this, and Ganyu said that if Tartaglia's Ice Queen authority were to erupt, she would also take action.

The Thousand Rocks soldiers lined up, gripping their spears and aiming at Datalia.

The sorcerers also looked at Dadalia with solemn expressions, various talismans already appearing in their hands, seemingly ready for battle at any moment.

"You guys are being so unreasonable." D'Artagnan said helplessly, trying to reason with them, "I'm just out collecting debts, and you've restricted the actions of the Fools."

"So the targets I need to collect debts from today are all outside. I have no other choice."

Tartaglia is accusing Liyue of its actions, saying that if it weren't for the Asgardians' ritual, their Fatui people would have been trapped in Liyue Harbor.

He wouldn't just come out to collect debts like that, D'Artagnan said.

"It's alright. We'll help you deal with the people who need to collect debts today," Keqing said calmly, looking at D'Artagnan with a smile. "In that case, you shouldn't have any objections, right?"

Ye Lan nodded slightly and interjected, "Yes, young master, you can trust my abilities. I will make those who deliberately owe money pay it back obediently."

Gan Yu didn't speak. She just calmly looked at Dadalia, her bow already drawn. If anything seemed amiss, she would launch an attack decisively.

As D'Artagnan watched this scene, he sighed inwardly, but his gaze quickly sharpened.

There was no other way; a fight was inevitable now. Although fighting at this critical juncture was not what he wanted, the situation was extremely rare, given the circumstances of the summoning ceremony.

I believe the Geo Archon has already appeared in Liyue Harbor, and I must fight my way out.

He had about ten minutes before his subordinates arrived to meet him. Once they did, he needed to quickly break the seal on the Vortex Demon God, Oser.

As for the servants, once I break the seal on the Whirlpool Demon God Oser, the Liyue Sage who was monitoring her will definitely leave. At that time, I can release the Eight Dragons and find an opportunity to seize the Heart of the Geo Archon.

Thinking this way, D'Artagnan was willing to wait until his subordinates arrived, and then he would seize the opportunity to break out. Even if it meant breaking ties with Liyue, he was determined to complete Her Majesty the Empress's mission!

"?!"

But at that moment, Ke Qing's expression changed slightly, as if she had seen something shocking.

"what happened?"

Yelan, who was extremely focused, noticed Keqing's unusual behavior and asked, "What happened?!"

"?" Gan Yu also looked at Ke Qing, not understanding what had happened. How could Yu Hengxing, who was usually calm and decisive, lose his composure like this?

"Back to Liyue Harbor! Don't explain much. She said decisively, 'Forget about Tartaglia. Let's return to Liyue Harbor immediately.'"

With that, Keqing immediately put away her weapon and gave the order to retreat.

"Huh?" X2

Gan Yu and Ye Lan were puzzled, not understanding why Ke Qing would issue such an order.

The Thousand Rock Army and the sorcerers also felt very strange, but since Keqing had given the order, they immediately put away their weapons, even though they didn't understand what was happening.

But Lady Keqing's words are surely correct.

Tartaglia, who was preparing to engage in battle once his subordinates arrived, was also somewhat bewildered.

What happened? Did something happen in Liyue Harbor? Why did they let me go so easily?

Tartaglia was a bit confused. He was all prepared for a fierce battle and was ready to unleash the Vortex Demon God Oser, so why did Yuheng Star suddenly say to call it a day?

Could it be that Arecino made her move? But this isn't how it was planned. Wasn't it supposed to be that I made the first move, and then she would follow?

"What happened?" Gan Yu asked, puzzled. She leaned closer to Ke Qing and inquired, "Miss Ke Qing, why did you let him go?"

D'Artagnan is clearly up to no good. Letting him go now would be like releasing a tiger back into the mountains.

Ye Lan also didn't understand Ke Qing's actions, but since she was just a subordinate, she didn't say anything and just watched Gan Yu and Ke Qing talk.

"........."

Ke Qing then took out the Seven Star Token, which was shimmering with a faint light.

"?!" x2

Gan Yu and Ye Lan's pupils constricted slightly upon seeing this scene, as they both knew what the glowing of the Seven Star Tokens represented.

The token is glowing, signifying that the Liyue Seven Stars must gather immediately, no matter what they are doing right now.

In the past, Gan Yu and Ye Lan wouldn't have cared. It was just a meeting of the Seven Stars, what was the big deal?

But right now is the ceremony to invite the immortals. No matter what else is important, nothing is more important than the arrival of the Rock King Emperor. It is at this critical juncture that the Seven Stars Conference is being held.

Something big has happened in Liyue Harbor, and it's not just any ordinary big thing!!!

"Walk."

Keqing glanced at Dadalia, then decisively gave the order. She already knew from the group live stream that the Emperor had passed away.

Although it's unacceptable, getting back to Liyue Harbor is more important right now than keeping an eye on Tartaglia.

Liyue Harbor is currently in complete chaos, and someone needs to go and take charge. Ningguang and Suhao will temporarily leave Liyue Harbor to settle the body of the Emperor.

So now she must return to Liyue Harbor. Gan Yu and Ning Guang are both good at handling this matter, and the hundred Thousand Rock soldiers she leads, along with other sorcerers, are all elites.

Simply put, Keqing can't waste any more time on Tartaglia. Whatever the Fatui's plans are, stabilizing Liyue Harbor is the most important thing right now.

Gan Yu and Ye Lan did not object. Given the current situation, the Seven Stars needed to hold a meeting because something terrible had happened in Liyue Harbor, and they had to return immediately.

And so, Keqing withdrew her troops, and the hundred Thousand Rock soldiers, along with dozens of sorcerers, quickly departed, heading back towards Liyue Harbor.

D'Artagnan was left standing there, somewhat bewildered.

"do not fight?"

D'Artagnan watched Keqing leave, looking utterly bewildered. He wondered if this was a conspiracy by Keqing.

First they left briefly, then they made a surprise return?

However, Tartaglia didn't care. Even if Keqing wanted to launch a surprise attack, he had already released the Vortex Demon God Oser by then.

With this in mind, Dadalia changed direction and rushed towards Lone Cloud Pavilion. At the same time, he used the Fools' communication device to tell his subordinates not to come looking for him, but to meet up at Lone Cloud Pavilion.

After traveling for nearly ten minutes, Dadalia arrived near Lonely Cloud Pavilion and stood there waiting for his men to arrive.

His reason for going to the vicinity of the [Layered Rock Abyss] was actually to provide cover for his subordinates. The pseudo-Unrestricted Talisman was of utmost importance, so he wanted to use himself as bait to lure out the people secretly watching him.

He sent his subordinates carrying the pseudo-Talisman of No Taboos to the vicinity of Lonely Cloud Pavilion, and he has already found the place where Oser was sealed.

Once the subordinates arrive, the plan can begin smoothly.

"Judging by the time, the Geo Archon should have arrived by now." Tartaglia gazed towards Liyue Harbor, even though he wasn't there.

Based on the previous two summoning ceremonies, the Geo Archon Morax should be in Liyue Harbor, preparing to begin his speech.

"My lord! My lord!!!"

At this moment, a group of Fools arrived carrying a fake "Talisman of No Taboos," their expressions showing great excitement.

"Oh, you've arrived. There's no time to lose. Hand over the item to me." When D'Artagnan saw his subordinates arrive, he ordered them to hand over the pseudo-Talisman of No Taboos. He was ready to begin his plan.

But one of the Fools looked at D'Artagnan with great excitement and said, "Young Master, you have already killed the Rock King, haven't you?!"

"Gah?" D'Artagnan was stunned. Killed the Rock King Emperor?

Who? Me? What ability do I have? I haven't even stepped into the realm of demons yet!

Even with the authority granted by the Queen and the Demon King's armor, Tartaglia was at most confident that he could fight on par with an ordinary demon god.

However, when it comes to gods like Morax, who emerged from the war between demons and gods, Tartaglia is quite self-aware.

Unless he is given more time to hone his martial arts to the extreme and truly enter the realm of demon gods, he will not be confident in fighting Morax.

As for now, if he has the ability to fight Morax, does he still need to release the Vortex Demon God Oser?

Why not just confront Morax head-on and sign a contract? If he loses, he'll have to hand over the Heart of God!

“Yes!!! Young Master, stop pretending.” Another member of the Fools said excitedly, “We’ve already received the news.”

“Yes, yes.” A lightning mage looked at Tartaglia excitedly and said, “We have received news that the Rock King Emperor died tragically during the Summoning Ceremony.”

"It must have been you, young master, who made it."

Another member of the Fatui, wielding a thunder hammer, looked at Tartaglia with great admiration and said, "To actually kill the Rock King, young master, you are truly amazing."

"Although I don't know how you did it, I believe that after this battle, no one in the entire Fool Clan will question you."

Because of the high expenses in Dadalia, the wealthy man's direct subordinates had many complaints about Dadalia.

In addition, the other direct subordinates of the Fatui Enforcers also thought that Tartaglia was a reckless man who only knew how to fight and spend money recklessly.

Although the other executives didn't say anything, these Fools, as direct subordinates of Datalia, were also holding their breath.

Now that the Rock King Emperor has died during the Immortal Summoning Ceremony, the Fools, who are subordinates of Tartaglia, immediately think that it was the young master who did it.

Yes, who else but him could do this?!

Young Master, you've prepared so much, isn't it all for today's ceremony to invite the immortals?

Thinking about it that way, killing Morax seems like the most logical thing to do.

What's even more shocking is that even his subordinates didn't know how the young master had managed to do it.

"Wait, wait a moment."

D'Artagnan was starting to feel overwhelmed. He looked at his subordinates and asked, "Morax is dead?"

"Yes, didn't you kill him?" The Thunderfire Sorcerer felt a little strange. Why was the young master so suspicious?

"I killed Morax???" Tartaglia was even more bewildered, more bewildered than when Keqing and the others suddenly withdrew.
