"Did the Emperor really manifest himself?"
"It must be the Emperor manifesting his power."
"Does His Majesty have something important to announce? I heard that Mondstadt was attacked by Stormterror a few days ago, didn't he? Could it be that His Majesty..."
"After this battle, Mondstadt will belong to Liyue!!!"
Regardless of people's speculations, all the people of Liyue knelt down in unison as they were illuminated by the multicolored light, waiting for the Geo Archon to appear.
"Grandpa, when did you Liyue people become so warlike that you even want to attack Mondstadt..."
"From a generally rational perspective, this is indeed a good opportunity."
"Hey, old man, you're not really going to order an attack on Mondstadt, are you? Didn't you invite me to your retirement ceremony?"
Upon hearing Zhongli's words, Wendy's hand trembled, spilling some of the wine onto the ground. However, when he saw the smile on Zhongli's face, he knew he had been tricked.
"I never expected that you would learn to joke after you retired, sir."
"Hehe, spending these past few days with those kids has made me feel younger."
"Let's take a good look at this. According to Ruoduo, she's going to show me what a black with five-colored spots looks like."
Zhongli stood on a high place and looked up at the sky. With his eyesight, he could naturally see that a small bird was struggling to flap its wings, carrying a small, glowing lantern in its beak.
In a secluded alley in Liyue Harbor, Rota was observing the sky with her two best friends. Behind her, a large, dark pipe stood straight up into the sky.
"Sister Tuotuo, I've made what you wanted. Keli worked on it for a long time last night."
"Not bad, not bad, little Cleo, when we're done with this, I'll take you guys out for something delicious, it's on me!"
Ruoduo was very satisfied with what Keli had made, while Qiqi tilted her head and observed the big black tube. Having never set off fireworks before, Qiqi didn't know what this thing was for. She was only worried that Liuliu would get tired. Oh, Liuliu was the name Qiqi had given to that little sparrow.
"It's about time, leave the rest to me."
Ruo Tuo condensed a large ball of water element in his hand, then took out Zhong Li's treasured ink. After fully blending the ink with the water element, he added some strange-tasting drink to the water element to mask the ink's flavor. After doing all this, Ruo Tuo jumped high and crawled into the large black pipe.
"Alright, let's begin, Klee. Remember to make the overload response a bit bigger, I'm worried I'll fall off halfway through the flight."
"Sister Tuotuo, are you sure this won't cause any accidents?"
Klee held an electric crystal in one hand and gathered fire element in the other. Although she knew that Rota was very strong, she had never experienced stuffing someone into a firework tube before, and Klee was still worried that she might hurt Rota.
"Don't worry, I'm fine. Even if Morax dies, I won't die."
"Let's begin; the more violent the overload reaction, the better."
"Alright then, Tuotuo-jie, please be careful. If you get hurt, Klee will be sad, and Captain Jean will scold Klee too."
At Roda's insistence, Klee had no choice but to place the Electro Crystal at the bottom of the firework tube. Then, she closed her eyes, pulled out a large Bouncing Bomb, and detonated it at the bottom of the firework tube.
boom!!!
After a huge explosion, the fire and lightning elements experienced a strong overload reaction, and the talisman on Qiqi's forehead was blown off by the shockwave.
Klee straightened her crooked hat, and the enormous impact of the overload reaction sent Rota flying out of the firework tube with a whoosh.
The petite loli Ruoduo held a ball of black water element and drew a perfect arc in the air. Ruoduo, experiencing fast flight for the first time, squinted and enjoyed the impact of the wind hitting her face.
However, she did not forget her mission. After aiming at the dark cloud, she threw a large mass of water element into it. Instantly, the cloud began to churn, and the water element content in the cloud rose rapidly. Soon after, black raindrops began to form and crash down to the ground.
"Ying, it feels like something dripped onto my head."
Paimon, who was hiding in the crowd, scratched her head. As outsiders, she and Ying did not kneel with the Liyue people, so it was normal that they noticed the rain first. But why was the rain black?
"Could a biohazard outbreak have occurred on the continent of Teyvat???"
As Ying watched the black raindrops fall on Paimon's forehead, her heart tightened. In other worlds, black rain usually carries strange viruses. In the worlds Ying explored, several had become lifeless due to the effects of viruses.
"Resident Evil? What's that? Ugh, this rain tastes weird."
Paimon accidentally swallowed a mouthful of rainwater while opening her mouth to speak. The strange taste made Paimon's little face scrunch up. She had never imagined that rainwater could taste like this.
Standing on high, Zhongli watched Ruotuo crash into a small hill and his face twitched. Under the multicolored light, torrential black rain flooded Yujingtai, and a colorful black was born.
"King Ruo Tuo, you're really something! You're a real talent, old man. I've really seen something new today."
"A colorful black, hahaha, old man, I didn't expect your family to be so talented. Ptooey, what's this taste? Oh no, my wine is still on the table!"
Looking at the people soaked to the bone, Wendy beside Zhongli couldn't stop smiling. Then a few drops of black rain drifted into his mouth with the wind, and an indescribable taste exploded in Wendy's mouth. Wendy hurriedly wanted to find some wine to rinse his mouth, but when he looked, he remembered that his wine was on the stone table of Yujingtai, which was now covered by black fish.
"My wine, my century-old vintage, oh my god!"
Chapter 130 The Ceremony of Inviting Immortals (3)
Bathed in the black rain, Ningguang's expression turned somewhat grim. In Liyue, rain at important occasions was an ominous sign, let alone black rain.
Recalling the astrologer's words, Ningguang pondered how to prepare for the great battle after the summoning ceremony. If necessary, she would recall all the Thousand Rock Army troops within Liyue to guard Liyue Harbor.
Although the astrologer couldn't be sure what the disaster was, according to Ningguang's analysis, it was very likely the turmoil of the Fatui. Her informants reported that the Fatui had been acting strangely lately and seemed to be plotting something in secret.
"I hope you don't go too far. There are still quite a few Fools in the Abyss of Lava."
Ningguang's gaze grew colder and colder. She had never had a good impression of the Fatui. If it weren't for that Fatui executive saying that the Fatui had a way to solve the problem of the Laminariat and her idea of sacrificing her own life for the sake of her friends, Ningguang would never have let the Fatui enter the Laminariat.
(My lumenite collection isn't full yet... Back when the rock layers were first opened, there were no markers, so finding them now is pure torture...)
Knowing everything, Gan Yu saw that Ning Guang remained silent for a long time and thought that Ning Guang was stunned. She silently sighed to herself, "I didn't expect the Rock King Emperor to play such tricks. Could it be that he has learned bad things from Senior Ruo Tuo Dragon King?"
On a high mountain outside Liyue Harbor, Zhongli calculated the time; it was almost time for his retirement ceremony. Venti noticed a change in Zhongli's demeanor and stopped crying and making a fuss over a jar of fine wine. He asked Zhongli a question in a rare serious tone.
"Old man, you should think this through. Once you really retire, the title of Emperor Yan will only exist in legends from now on."
“My mind is made up, Barbatos, you don’t need to try to persuade me anymore.”
"Perhaps I should also enjoy the prosperity of the world like you."
There was no wavering in Zhongli's eyes. His unwavering will meant that once he made up his mind to do something, he would not be disturbed by the outside world.
"Alright, alright, I can't persuade you, Grandpa. So please get started quickly, and we'll go have a drink together once we're done."
“I heard there’s a restaurant in Liyue Harbor called ‘Three Bowls Before Crossing the Harbor’. Let’s go there and have a good drink later.”
In the center of Yujing Terrace, Ying held the pot Su Bai had given her on her head. Pai Meng flew to Ying's side to take shelter from the rain and enjoy the envious glances of those around them. At this moment, Ying felt that this big pot was one of the best gifts she had ever received.
"Ying, why is it raining black rain? Could it be that the Rock King Emperor recognized the incense we used? If we are captured, will Su Bai come to our rescue?"
"According to the descriptions of those around us, the Rock King Emperor is not a petty god. He shouldn't be angry about this, but I have a bad feeling. Let's leave first."
As Ying turned to leave the eerie place of Yujingtai, she heard a loud bang, the sound of something falling from a great height and overturning things.
When she turned around, she saw a huge rock dragon lying on the ground, with offerings scattered all around, and the whole scene fell into silence.
Even Ningguang, who had weathered many storms, was stunned for a moment. An ominous feeling enveloped her heart. After silently cursing herself for being offended, Ningguang suppressed her shock and went forward to check on the situation.
Seeing that the once majestic and spirited dragon eyes were now dull and lifeless, Ningguang knew that the Emperor might have passed away. But clinging to a one in ten thousand chance, she still used her rock element to sense it.
"Yes, completely lifeless." Looking at the lifeless body before her, Ningguang couldn't believe her eyes, but since it had already happened, she had to deal with it. She waved her hand and shouted loudly...
"The Emperor has been murdered! Seal off the entire area!"
Upon hearing this, the Thousand Rock Army, surging from all directions, immediately began to surround Jade Capital Terrace. Ying and Paimon were dumbfounded. Was the special incense from the Hall of Rebirth really that powerful? After offering three sticks of incense to the Rock King Emperor, he was already dead? Ying and Paimon exchanged a glance and then slipped away. They didn't know anything about this place.
"Check everyone, and detain anyone who seems suspicious!"
"Don't let your guard down; the killer could very well be hiding in the crowd!"
The commander of the Qianyan Army, who was in charge of the security of Yujingtai, loudly reminded the Qianyan soldiers that after receiving the order, anyone who stammered and could not give a clear answer would be detained. If they had enough manpower to detain so many people, everyone on Yujingtai would be detained and interrogated for such a major event as the death of an enemy soldier.
In Ying's mind, perhaps because of Su Bai, she didn't really suspect that the Rock God was the strange god who defeated her and her brother back then, but that wasn't a reason for her to be arrested. After all, in terms of suspicion, she and Paimon were probably the most suspicious people.
After a series of swaying and dodging, Ying and Paimon finally reached the exit. Ying breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that they would be out soon. She had thought she was going to be wanted again.
But things were clearly not as simple as Ying had imagined. With a snap, Ying accidentally stepped on a tree branch, and the sound immediately caught the attention of Qianyan Army.
"Oh no, we've been spotted! Run!"
"Hey? Ying, wait for me!"
Upon being discovered, Ying turned and ran. The Thousand Rock Army hadn't originally planned to question Ying, since how could a little girl possibly have the ability to assassinate the Rock King? However, seeing Ying's anxious departure, the Thousand Rock Army began to suspect that something was amiss with her.
And so, a scene unfolded on the Jade Capital Platform: a group of Thousand Rock Army soldiers chasing after a little girl. Grandma Ping looked at Ying's panicked appearance and smiled wryly.
"It's so good to be young."
However, because she was unfamiliar with the surrounding environment, Ying was surrounded by the Thousand Rock Army after wandering around. Seeing that she could not escape, Ying had no choice but to take out the Black Rock Longsword she had just bought and hold it in front of her. If it was not necessary, she really did not want to be enemies with the Thousand Rock Army.
"Girl, you'd better put down your weapon. If you fight, you might get hurt."
"We're just asking you some questions, we won't make things difficult for you."
The squad leader of Qianyan Army spoke very sincerely. As a father, he did not want to lay a hand on the girl in front of him who was about the same age as his daughter. Ying hesitated.
"You really won't detain me?"
"Don't worry, as long as you answer our questions, I won't make things difficult for you."
As he spoke, the squad leader gestured to the Thousand Rock Army soldiers behind him to put away their weapons, knowing that putting away their weapons at this moment would better demonstrate his sincerity.
“Girl, look, we’ve all put our weapons away. Shouldn’t you put yours away too? We, the Thousand Rock Army, are not people who break our promises.”
Chapter 131 The Ceremony of Invoking the Immortals (The End)
Ying and Paimon exchanged a glance. This Thousand Rock Army soldier seemed quite easy to talk to. Should they trust him this once? Having made up her mind, Ying put away the Black Rock Longsword in her hand.
The Thousand Rock Army squad leader breathed a sigh of relief when Ying put away her weapon. He had planned to ask Ying a few questions and let her leave after she answered them, but before he could even speak, he felt a sharp pain in his neck and his vision went black. He then fainted.
“Come with me, this is not the place to talk.”
Looking at the guy she had met once before, Ying hesitated for a moment, but when she heard shouts coming from behind her, she gritted her teeth and chased after him.
After running all the way, Ying stopped in a secluded alley. She leaned against the wall, slightly out of breath. The Qianyan Army was chasing her too closely. If she hadn't run fast, she would have been caught.
"I didn't expect you could keep up with my speed. How about we become friends?"
"I don't think I'd become friends with the Fatui Enforcers. If you could return Wendy's Heart of God, I might consider it."
Seeing the hand outstretched in front of her, Ying slapped the young master's hand away. She and the Executor of the Fools had nothing in common. She didn't stab the young master because she had just swindled five million Mora from the Northern Bank a few days ago.
"Ahem, I didn't get the Heart of God, so I have no right to interfere with these things. I just want to be friends with you."
The young master was somewhat embarrassed. He seemed to have underestimated this traveler. This traveler seemed to know his identity, but he had clearly never met this traveler before.
"Search them! I just saw those two people disappear into this alley; they must be hiding inside!"
