Hutao uses me to judge my performance

Hutao was very excited and gave a bun to Zhongli.

"Then you pack up and set off with us. We have two friends who have come from afar and are going with us."

The three of them arrived at the agreed upon location on time, where Sora and Paimon were already waiting.

Because today is such an important day, they also got up very early.

Seeing Sora, Zhongli's eyes moved and then fell on Paimon.

As if it was the first time he saw the two of them, he asked curiously:

"Who are these two?"

"Let me introduce you. This is Zhongli, our guest at the Rebirth Hall. These two are Kong, the traveler from afar, and his traveling companion Paimeng!"

Zhongli stretched out his hand and shook hands with Kong briefly.

"Happy to meet."

"Me too, nice to meet you."

The two's hands loosened as soon as they touched.

Hu Tao looked at the two of them, "Have you had breakfast? If so, we will set off directly."

"Eat, eat, let's go quickly, I can't wait!" Pamon rubbed his hands and stamped his feet in the air.

Chapter 264: The emperor was assassinated and the whole place was sealed off.

Hutao led a few people to a higher place and said:

"The ceremony of inviting immortals is held at the Yujing Terrace, the highest point in Liyue Port. Anyone can go to watch the ceremony, but because the ceremony is too cumbersome and boring, most Liyue people don't go there often."

"So that's it. I thought the Immortal Invitation Ceremony would be lively and there would be a lot of delicious food." Paimon was a little disappointed.

Jiang Bai reached out and knocked on her crown, "Are you stupid? How could you be allowed to set up a stall to sell food for such a serious matter as inviting an immortal ceremony?"

Paimon covered his crown and pouted.

She was just talking, why would she be so serious...

As Sora walked up, he observed the surrounding shops and pedestrians.

Just like Hu Tao said, although today is the day of the Immortal Invitation Ceremony, nothing has changed in Liyue Port.

Merchants are still open for business, and busy people are still busy.

The only difference is probably that some clever businessmen put up a sign offering a discount on the Immortal Ceremony in an attempt to attract customers.

Along the way to Yujing Terrace, there were gradually more Qianyan troops around.

Dadalia, who also came to watch the ceremony, saw them and waved hello as he walked over: "Ah, you are here too, do you want to come with me?"

Jiang Bai originally wanted to forget it and didn't want to stay with the Fools, but then he thought about it. By staying together, he could watch this guy at close range and detect any abnormalities immediately.

So, he showed a bright smile and put his arms around the young master's shoulders.

"Just now, Mr. Zhongli was still talking about whether you would come! Let's go, let's go together."

Dadalia was very surprised by Jiang Bai's behavior.

This person was obviously very hostile before, so why was he suddenly so enthusiastic towards him?

The so-called abnormal must have a demon.

Dadalia put her backhand on his shoulder and said very enthusiastically: "Come on, let me get someone to occupy an excellent position. I can see the Rock King Emperor up close!"

Seeing the two people suddenly holding hands, a question mark appeared on Hu Tao's forehead.

What is the situation?

Sora and Paimeng looked at each other, and finally Paimon asked what was on his mind.

"Who is he?"

"The 11th seat of the Executive Officer of Fools, [Master] Dadalia."

"Foolish Executors!" Paimon and Kong were both shocked.

They had only been beaten severely by the Fools' Executives in Mondstadt, and they met another one when they arrived in Liyue!

And why is this guy Jiang Bai so close to the Fools?

The two of them kept the question in their hearts and did not ask it at this time.

Arriving all the way to the venue at Yujing Terrace, I followed Dadalia to the front of the venue.

Kong finally saw the whole picture of this immortal ceremony.

There is a huge incense burner, an altar, and a very majestic woman standing in front of the incense burner.

The prelude to the Immortal Invitation Ceremony is very long and boring.

Jiang Bai stared at Zhongli and Dadalia, wishing that his two eyes could look in different directions at the same time.

Fortunately, both of them were quite calm before Emperor Yanwang appeared.

Hutao was also very alert, always focusing on observing Dadalia and other people around her.

Sora and Paimon, on the other hand, were beginning to fall asleep after hearing this.

In the young master's arms, there are more than one Baiwu Taolu.

He was waiting for Emperor Yanwang to appear so that he could use Bai Wu Tao Lu to attract his attention and communicate with him.

Zhongli simply came to witness the last ceremony of inviting immortals.

Everyone has their own thoughts.

Time passed by, and after a series of tedious rituals, the real invitation to immortality finally came.

Everyone present was in high spirits.

He closed his eyes and condensed the light, and the rock elements gathered at his fingertips.

Under her control, several rock elements as bright as gems poured into the incense burner. The incense burner erupted with a dazzling light and rushed into the sky to welcome the emperor.

Like the door to another world being opened, the originally clear sky was instantly shrouded in clouds, and in the center of the light, the clouds turned into a whirlpool.

Everyone raised their heads excitedly, looking forward to the emperor's appearance.

However, what shocked people was that the clear sky suddenly turned dark, and a giant dragon that was supposed to descend from the sky fell straight down from the sky and landed on the altar, raising a large amount of smoke and dust.

Seeing this scene, the venue fell into panic.

Jiang Bai looked at Zhongli immediately.

There was no expression on Zhongli's face.

He rubbed the jade ring on his thumb, neither excited nor surprised, nor surprised.

It was as if everything was expected.

Jiang Bai then looked at Dadalia.

Dadalia opened her mouth in shock, her emotions clearly leaking out.

It was obvious that this was an accident that even he had not expected.

Jiang Bai looked at the other people around him again. They looked shocked and even a little confused, not knowing what was going on.

The quickest person to react was the condensed light on the altar.

She stepped forward to check the situation, her brows furrowed into the character "Chuan".

She could clearly feel that there was no life fluctuation in the current giant dragon, which meant that the emperor was killed!

"The emperor is killed, block the audience!"

After confirming, she turned around and stared at Dadalia in the venue, her voice was extremely stern.

All the Qianyan troops moved quickly, and the white cherry guns in their hands emitted a huge cold light, sealing off the venue.

The murder of an emperor had never happened in Liyue for thousands of years, so they had no plans or preparations.

But fortunately, with Hu Tao's previous reminder, Qixing was already extremely wary of the Fools, and even every member of the Fools was under their surveillance.

But even with such surveillance, the emperor was still killed!

"What on earth is going on?" Paimon scratched his head in confusion, "She just said that the emperor was killed. Could it be that the God of Rock is dead?"

This news is really exciting for them who are new here.

Ignoring the reactions of everyone present, Hutao jumped directly to the dragon corpse after being stunned to check the situation.

As the leader of the Rebirth Hall, she is the person who can best perceive life and death.

The dragon corpse in front of him no longer had any vitality. Just like Ningguang said, the emperor was killed.

Looking at the emperor's body in front of her, she hit the ground hard with both fists, not caring even if there was blood on her hands.

Her plum blossom-like pupils were blazing with fire, and her anger was uncontrollable.

This is the emperor!The people of Liyue believe in an emperor!

Who is it, who dares to attack the emperor!

She stared at Dadalia, the temperature around her body rising. Because the temperature was so high, it even burned the air, creating a slight hazy feeling.

The Staff of Homo appeared in her hand and stabbed Dadalia's throat.

Dadalia sidestepped and passively defended while asking confusedly:

"Wait a minute, wait a minute! Why did you attack me suddenly?"

"Tell me! Did you do it!"

Hu Tao's eyes were very cold. This was the first time Jiang Bai saw Hu Tao showing such a cold expression.

It's like looking at a dead person, almost endlessly.

"What does this have to do with me? I'm confused too!"

Dadalia was really speechless.

I originally wanted to meet the Rock King Emperor at the Immortal Invitation Ceremony, but I didn't see him, but I did see the body.

He was also suspected of being the murderer...

It would be okay if he did it, but the key is that he didn't do anything!

Jiang Bai did not stop Hutao from attacking Dadalia. He looked at Zhongli, who still looked calm, and spoke in a deep voice.

"Did you do it?"

Chapter 265 Questioning Zhongli

Jiang Bai's tone was very determined:

"The death of Emperor Yanwang was caused by you!"

Zhong Li was silent.

In a sense, what Jiang Bai said is true.

Sora and Paimon next to them were stunned.

How come the development of things is different from what they thought?

Why did Jiang Bai say it was Mr. Zhongli who did it?

The two of them turned into a melon-eating crowd and both looked at Zhongli, ready to see what reply he was going to give.

"Why do you say that?" Zhongli looked a little strange, as if he was very confused by his reaction.

"Because, uh... because..."

Jiang Bai wanted to say that all signs pointed to this.But it seems that this is all just wishful thinking on his part, and he has no actual evidence.

The one-sided battle between Hutao and Dadalia continued, and he did not come out for a long time because of anything.

In the final analysis, most of them are just his guesses.

But things must be resolved as soon as possible before Walnut notices this.
