Seeing this situation, Keqing had no choice but to go home.

A lot of things happened today, including the information about Grandma Ping, Zhong Li and Ningguang.

As for the matter of the executive officer, it would naturally be left to Ningguang to handle.

They also knew very well what the young master was doing secretly. As she said, this was Liyue, and it was harder than climbing to the sky for the people of Zhidong to make any waves.

Unless someone wants him to turn over.

As for the lady who thought she had some kind of heart of God in her and was stalking her.

Keqing didn't take it too seriously either.

She didn't have that thing in the first place, not to mention that in her opinion, the lady should be the one sent by the Queen of Winter to supervise her colleagues.

Otherwise, she would not have concealed her whereabouts from her colleagues.

The day of the Immortal Summoning Ceremony is getting closer, and Liyue Harbor is becoming more and more lively.

Because of its long history and the fact that one can get a glimpse of the majesty of the gods, the Ceremony of Inviting the Immortals has gradually transformed from a big day that only belonged to the people of Liyue to a celebration of Liyue Harbor.

Many travelers and merchants from the seven nations would also gather here during the festival to experience the unique culture of Liyue.

As a commercial country, Liyue will naturally not close its ports and give up such a great opportunity to make money.

Therefore, on a day like this, which even exceeds the Lantern Festival, no mistakes are allowed.

Just like today, it is the day before the ceremony of inviting the immortals.

Keqing got up early and began to check whether the ritual items required for the ceremony of inviting the immortals were in compliance with the regulations and whether they were damaged.

However, deep down, she was actually thinking about the plan.

For some reason, she suddenly felt that something might go wrong tomorrow.

But all the facts show that their plan went very smoothly.

Granny Ping did leave Liyue Harbor and go to Wangshu Inn, where Ganyu was also, carrying out the orders of the fake imperial edict.

Keqing originally wanted to ask Zhong Li if she felt that there was anything different about the ceremony of summoning the immortals this time, but she couldn't find Zhong Li these two days.

When we arrived at the Hall of the Dead, the funeral home only said that Zhong Li seemed to have gone to have tea with an old friend.

In this way, Keqing spent the day busy checking the ceremony of inviting the immortals, and arrived at the next day.

On this day, Keqing was no longer busy, but stood on the altar with Ningguang, looking at the offerings on the table.

“The quality of these fruits and vegetables is quite good. The size and specifications of the tablet and table made by Mr. Lu also meet the requirements. The Emperor will probably be quite satisfied when he sees them.” Ningguang said.

Keqing didn't say anything.

Seeing the silent Keqing, Ningguang smiled and said, "You should have confidence in yourself. Isn't that what you always do?"

"..."

At this time, an older man came up behind the two of them, bowed and said:

"Sir, the arrangements for inviting the immortals have been made. All the noble families of Liyue have arrived. However, the Seven Stars..."

Ningguang's face was calm: "No need to wait for the other seven stars, let's get started."

"But this doesn't fit..."

“Master Li, don’t you remember what the Emperor Xiandianyi said last time?” Ningguang asked calmly, with the majesty of a superior in her tone.

Master Li recalled: "The Emperor said, 'Rules are dead, people are alive...'"

Finally giving in, the old man nodded: "Okay then."

The old man bowed to the two of them, then signaled the Qianyan Army to maintain order.

"When the immortals are being summoned, idle people must stay away and not get close to the place of sacrifice. Violators will be arrested!" Qianyan Soldier shouted to the ordinary people watching.

"Burn incense!"

Following the old man's shout, Ningguang took the burning incense handed to her by the servant.

"play music!"

There was no movement. Everyone turned their heads to look and found that the person in charge of playing the music was motionless and seemed to be shaking.

"Maybe he's too nervous." Ningguang said after taking a look.

The old man also frowned. The person in charge of playing the piano in the music ceremony was a young man. Although he was young, how could he be nervous in such an occasion?

Thinking of this, the old man wanted to step forward and teach her a lesson, but Keqing shook her head and stopped him.

"Let me do it."

"Ah? Lord Yuheng is here to play music?"

"That should be possible, right?" Keqing asked.

The old man nodded, but still showed hesitation: "Of course, it's okay, but this is the work of a servant. You are a Seven Star... just like Lord Yan and us ordinary people, our identities are different..."

“Someone has to play, right?” Ningguang said.

Seeing that people started to talk about the sudden pause of the ceremony, the old man couldn't stop it, so he could only let Keqing lower her status and act as a ritual and music master.

Coming to a long harp, Keqing slowly sat down and then looked up at the sky.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Sitting down and finding something to do made her feel better.

"play music!"

As the old man's voice sounded again, a beautiful piano melody gradually emerged.

The old man was also surprised. He didn't expect Keqing's playing of the musical instrument was so good. But when he thought about it, it made sense. Lady Keqing was born into a noble family, so she must be proficient in some of the four arts: music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

"Drum roll!"

Waves of drum sounds and piano music spread throughout the entire ceremony site.

As the drum beats became more and more frequent, everyone knew without guessing: the big one was coming.

"Please ask the immortal!"

The old man stepped back immediately after drinking, while Ningguang, as the person in charge of the immortal summoning ceremony and also the immortal summoner, took a step forward with burning incense in her hand.

She bowed slightly towards the tablet of Emperor Rock King, then she closed her eyes and a golden light appeared around her body.

The tablet of Emperor Rock King is not an ordinary object, but an immortal item that can communicate directly with the Emperor. All one needs to do is inject elemental power into the tablet.

By calling the Emperor's name again, you can invite Liyue's God, the Rock Emperor Morax.

This has been the case from thousands of years ago until today.

It will be the same today.

But there will be a slight difference.

Ningguang closed her eyes for a little longer this time.

The old man on the side was also very puzzled. He had assisted many Seven Stars in presiding over many ceremonies to invite the immortals. Usually, the Seven Stars who possessed the Eye of God only needed to release a little elemental power and inject it into the tablet of the Emperor.

Because all we need to do is let the Emperor sense it.

However, this time, the light from Lady Ningguang became brighter and brighter, almost overshadowing the sun in the sky.

As the divine power of Liyue, Ningguang not only has strong business skills, but her own strength should not be underestimated. The elemental force in her body is like a torrent.

If I don't stop and just inject it into the Emperor's tablet, it might hurt the Emperor... right?

The old man was not very sure, but with the power of the Emperor, this should not hurt it. After all, the Emperor was the God of War who ended the War between Demons and Gods, and the God of Rock who had protected Liyue for thousands of years.

It is definitely impossible to hurt the Emperor with just the Seven Stars.

Thinking of this, the old man felt relieved.

He just felt that Lady Ningguang was also a little nervous, after all, Qixing was also a human being.

However, due to Qixing's noble status, he certainly couldn't scold him.

At this time, Ningguang, who was as dazzling as the sun, had opened her eyes, and her face looked solemn and dignified.

Holding the incense in her hand, she moved her index finger slightly, forming a seal, and instantly the elemental power was injected from her body into the tablet.

The dark tablet then lit up with a golden light, which then rushed straight into the sky like a flood.

The clouds in the sky were instantly stirred up, and a dark crack appeared out of nowhere in the sky.

But Ningguang suddenly frowned and clenched her teeth.

"No... My own elemental powers aren't enough!"

Just as Ningguang began to feel panic, a soothing piano sound rang out, and several gentle breezes blew on Ningguang. Then Ningguang felt a gust of wind power surging out of her body again.

After being stunned for a moment, Ningguang turned her head and saw Keqing, and she also breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Keqing is here.

In this way, as long as they prevent the Emperor from coming, they can issue a false edict on behalf of the Emperor to announce his abdication, thus keeping Liyue Harbor in the hands of her and Keqing.

Even if there are doubts, they will be quickly suppressed. When all the immortals are not in Liyue Harbor, all we need to do is stop the Emperor from coming, and everything from the old era will come to an end, thus ushering in a new era, an era belonging to the people of the Seven Stars and Liyue.

This is Keqing and Ningguang’s plan.

It seems simple, but it took them years to plan just to prevent the Seven Stars from appearing at the Immortal Summoning Ceremony.

Not to mention the retreat of the immortals, they were lucky, otherwise it would have been impossible to accomplish.

Moreover, they had no idea how powerful the Emperor was, and they had no idea how long they could stop him.

So Keqing and even Ningguang herself felt that this plan should not be able to succeed.

But maybe it was God's blessing that everything went smoothly.

However, just when Ningguang thought that the Emperor had passed the time of his arrival and everything was over, Keqing suddenly stood up.

Ningguang's expression also changed.

Because she suddenly felt a huge pressure approaching quickly from above her head.

When they looked up, everyone including Ningguang saw something like a meteorite breaking through the sky and falling towards the sacrificial site from the dark crack.

Chapter 81. I want to save the Emperor!

The moment the huge shadow appeared, everyone at the sacrificial site raised their heads, staring in shock at the huge thing falling from the sky.

The huge object rubbed against the air, and the flames burning at the front made it impossible to see what it was.

But if that thing were to fall like this, the consequences could be imagined.

Only Ningguang reacted instantly. If that thing was allowed to fall like this, the Yujing Terrace might be turned into ruins, with even more casualties.

Gazing at the sky, Ningguang waved his arms and sleeves, and suddenly golden light appeared around him, and then huge yellow ambers appeared in the golden light.

Ningguang bent her wrist, drew a semicircle in front of her body, and then pointed her index finger at the falling giant.

For a moment, all the ambers around her flew towards the giant in the sky like golden meteors.

However, those "meteors" were directly annihilated when they hit the flaming giant.

No, we have to retreat!

Ningguang made a judgment in an instant. Just as she was about to order everyone to leave the place immediately, she saw a dazzling purple light suddenly lit up not far away.

Keqing jumped onto a flagpole and shot a thunder wedge in her hand towards the giant.

The next moment, her figure disappeared from the spot, and when she appeared again, she was in the air right below the giant creature.

Keqing was seen holding a gorgeous sword in mid-air. Dark clouds appeared in the sky and purple lightning flashed in her hand.

As the giant creature hit the tiny Keqing, a huge burst of fire and roar resounded throughout Liyue Harbor.
