"That's why I went to challenge Morax, but you saw what happened to me in the ring."

"And... Morax is dead?"

There was a hint of strangeness in Ba Qiu's voice.

“Dead, died in full view of everyone,” Arecino said calmly, looking at the enormous head of the eight dragons and then down.

At this moment, she could clearly see that Ba Qiu's body was like a snake and a dragon. His body shape was different from that of Osel and the Dragon King Ruo Tuo. He looked more like Morax.

But it's only similar, because the Morax dragon's image is much more majestic.

Even so, Arecino could sense the astonishing strength of the Eight Dragons. The opponent had not even fully broken the seal yet, but it already possessed such a terrifying aura.

As expected, none of the beings from the Demon God War era were to be underestimated.

"To die in full view of everyone? That would be a perfect opportunity."

Ba Qiu muttered to himself, his emotions clearly becoming much more excited.

“Yes, it is indeed a good opportunity.” Arecino continued, following up on what Baqiu had said. She then asked, “So, are you planning to assist Osel, or head to Liyue Harbor?”

This is an inquiry, and based on Ba Qiu's answer, Arecino will pass the information to Su Hao.

As Su Hao had previously told Arecino, if Ba Qiu chose to take revenge on Morax and went to Liyue Harbor, Su Hao would stop him.

Let's also take a look at just how powerful the demons were during the Demon God War.

Of course, if Ba Qiu goes to help Ausel, then Su Hao doesn't need to appear for the time being; let Ruo Tuo Dragon King deal with Ausel and Ba Qiu.

"Help Osel? Go to Liyue Harbor? How could I possibly do such a thing!"

The eight dragons stared at Arecino with their enormous eyes and sneered, "I have been suppressed by Morax for thousands of years, so I am well aware of his terror."

“I also know about the Dragon King Ruotu. With him around, Oser has no chance of turning the tide. If I go to help Oser, I'm afraid they will attack me as well.”

"You weak human, you have no idea how cruel the war between the demon gods was back then. When two demon gods were fighting, if a third party came, both sides would put aside their differences and work together to deal with that third party."

Arecino was slightly taken aback. She didn't quite understand what Baqiu meant. If he wasn't going to participate in the battle between Oser and the Dragon King Ruoduo, then what exactly did he want to do?

Could it be? Arecino was a smart woman; she seemed to understand something immediately, and her expression became particularly subtle.

"I'm leaving this place, you weak humans. Thank you for breaking the seal."

The massive body of the Eight Dragons began to move, as it struggled to break free of the seal. Its voice was filled with excitement as it cried out, "I'm finally free!!!! Hahahahahaha!!!!"

"Morax! Whatever you're planning! It has nothing to do with me!!! I'm leaving this place!!! Going back to my homeland!!!"

At this moment, Ba Qiu's voice sounded somewhat crazy. He had been imprisoned for thousands of years, but he was not an idiot.

During the war between demons, he overestimated himself and challenged Morax, only to be sealed away by Morax for thousands of years.

Even now, thousands of years later, Baqiu doesn't believe he can still defeat Morax, even after so many years.

Morax's strength might decrease slightly, but as for himself... well, if he can regain 60% of his peak strength after breaking the seal, that would be a great thing.

"You're going to run away?" Arecino crossed her arms and looked at Ba Qiu in shock, never expecting this.

There's been a problem with the plan! A demon god who was defeated by Morax and sealed away for thousands of years.

After breaking the seal, the first choice was to escape, not to seek revenge?! That's truly astonishing.

“Yes.” Ba Qiu showed no shame. He looked at Arecino seriously and said, “Why shouldn’t I run now? Do I have an obligation to face an opponent I can’t defeat?”

“Weak humans, you may see no difference between demons and gods, but for me… my past defeat is enough to haunt me.”

With that said, Ba Qiu used all his strength, intending to break the seal as soon as possible!

"…………"

Arecino sighed and silently tore off the talisman that was not far away.

"Hey! Human! What are you doing?!" When Ba Qiu saw Arecino tear off the talisman, it immediately slowed down his speed in breaking the seal.

Under the influence of this specially made talisman, he could have broken the seal completely in just a few seconds, but now he has lost the influence of the talisman.

It will take the Eight Dragons several minutes to escape from the seal! By then, Morax will probably have noticed something amiss.

"I didn't do anything; I was just fulfilling my duties."

After learning of Ba Qiu's thoughts, Arecino didn't waste any words and said calmly, "You want to leave, but I can't let you go. Explain to the Liyue Immortal."

As soon as she finished speaking, Arecino vanished from her spot.

Ba Qiu opened its mouth wide and bit down, intending to swallow her whole.

However, Arecino is the fourth seat of the Fatui Enforcers. Although she does not have the strength of a demon god, she is not afraid to fight a demon god.

However, she didn't need to fight the demon god, so Arecino tore off the talisman and then appeared on the small hill that the rock spear had turned into on the other side, where she tore off another talisman that was pasted on it.

"Leave your things behind!! You weak humans!!!"

With a roar, Ba Qiu gathered water elements around him, transforming into tens of thousands of fish with sharp teeth and claws, which charged toward Arecino.

He planned to trap Arecino; people could leave, but the things had to be left behind!! It was about his hope of getting out of there.

"Hehehe."

Arecino sneered. She stretched out her hand, not using the power of the Eye of God, but instead using the power of authority.

Frosty energy erupted from her, freezing all the fish that tried to trap her.

Just kidding, Her Majesty the Queen has entrusted me with the authority of the soldiers and ladies, so the power I wield is quite formidable.

You can't fight the Eight Dragons head-on, but you also can't expect them to hurt you with their attacks.

"You can stay here." Arecino tore off the two talismans, then disappeared from the spot, refusing to engage in a prolonged battle with the Eight Dragons.

If this ruler of the sea decides to confront Liyue head-on, she will definitely stay behind as an assistant to provide him with combat power.

But now the other party wants to leave? How could that be?! Arecino doesn't think she can make that decision.

Although the Eight Dragons are trying to escape now, can you guarantee that they won't suddenly have a brain fart and launch an attack on Liyue Harbor in the future?

If this were to happen, Arecino would be the sinner.

Yes, she's not just a sinner of Liyue, but also a sinner of Winter, because by doing this, she essentially thwarted the Geo Archon's plans.

If she was unaware of the situation, that would be one thing, but since Ba Qiu broke the seal and immediately chose to run away, she still has a reason to complain.

Even before the seal is broken, the Eight Dragons are already eager to leave Liyue.

Arecino wasn't stupid, so before anything happened, she wanted to restrict the other party's movements, and then let the Liyue people decide whether Baqiu should go or stay.

"Ughhhhh!!! Human!!!! Leave your name!!!!"

Ba Qiu roared, demanding that Arecino leave her name; he wanted revenge!

Morax sealed him away for thousands of years, and even the Eight Dragons were not this angry because the other party had the strength and ability to do so.

But this weak woman was about to let him go, and Ba Qiu had even decided to reward her afterwards.

But I never expected them to do something like this—they actually took away the item that broke the seal!

What should have been resolved in seconds has now been prolonged again!

How could Ba Qiu not hate this?! How could he not want to kill Arecino?!

"Heh." Alecino heard the voice from behind, shook her head slightly, and gave a helpless smile. Then she saw Linnie and Linette swimming quickly towards Liyue Harbor, and took the two of them away.

At this moment, Linnie and Linette were quite confused, completely not understanding why their father had returned.

"Let's go."

Arecino didn't explain much, and left with Linnie and Linette, leaving the eight dragons roaring behind them.

Although the eight dragons were roaring, Linni and Linette couldn't understand them, since the language of the demon gods was not so easy to comprehend.

Soon, Arecino left the deep sea and brought Linnie and Linette to a small island not far away.

Arecino, Linnie, and Lynette took off their wetsuits.

Arecino silently crushed a crystal, an alchemical gadget that was created in pairs and was otherwise useless.

But if you crush it, the crystal on the other person will also break, and the location here will be transmitted at the same time.

Arecino handed another crystal to Su Hao, saying that if any unexpected situation arose, she would crush it and let Su Hao handle it.

"what happened?"

Su Hao crossed space and arrived, with Ella following closely behind, crossing over with her young master.

"The plan has changed."

Arecino said calmly, looking at Su Hao with some helplessness, "The Eight Dragons plan to escape Liyue and do not intend to participate in the battle."

Upon hearing this, both Su Hao and Ella showed expressions of surprise.

Planning to escape Liyue and not participate in the battle? Really?

Wasn't this guy sealed away by Morax for a thousand years? Doesn't he even have the slightest thought of resistance? Isn't he planning to cause some damage before leaving?

Not only were Su Hao and Ella surprised, but Linni and Linette were also shocked.

The plan took an unexpected turn, but the unexpected turn of events was that Ba Qiu didn't want to fight anymore and wanted to run away instead.

"Is that so? That's quite surprising, but I also think it's pretty normal." Su Hao was surprised, but not entirely.

Because if he were Ba Qiu, he would probably make the same choice.

The logic is simple: if you know you can't beat Morax, why fight to the bitter end?

Not to mention that Liyue has other powerful figures besides Morax, such as Sage, Gui Zhong, and Rota Dragon King.

If all else fails, the Liyue Seven Stars have a secret weapon: Ningguang's Jade Pavilion!

This thing can be considered a one-time use [Celestial Star], and its power is extremely immense.

"Hmm." [Ella] nodded slightly, agreeing with the young master's point of view, which was quite normal.

Because if you can't win, you run away—that's the thought of all living beings, just like when she was being hunted down by the Fatui Enforcers.

Isn't that the idea? If you can't beat them, lay low for a while, and then take revenge when you're stronger!

Of course, [Ella] also successfully got her revenge; the feeling of torturing and dissecting the doctor was just too satisfying!!!

"What should we do now?" Arecino asked Su Hao.

The plan succeeded, but in a sense, it was also a failure.
