What bad intentions could the original dragon have?

The power of the fight gradually subsided, and the [Power of the Whirlpool] was finally completely suppressed by the seal.

The [Power of Dust and Sand] was integrated into the Sword Mountain and returned to the ancient golden sword at the core of the Sword Mountain.

The 'Yunlai Sea' gradually returned to calm.

Looking at the sword mountain that was a thousand meters high, with only the hilt sticking out of the sea, the whole of Liyue fell into silence.

Everyone was waiting, waiting for the fairy in green feather clothes to reappear.

But as time passed, the increasingly solemn atmosphere seemed to have foreshadowed the departure of the fairy.

Unlike the rumors a few days ago, the departure of [Cangming Yuanjun] was witnessed by people.

When the first sobs were heard, the era of "rule by man" in Liyue arrived.

----

"Sigh..." Zhong Ling looked at Jianshan, put one hand on Ying's shoulder, and transferred part of her weight to Ying.

"What's wrong?" Ying supported Zhong Ling and heard her sigh, so she couldn't help but ask.

"【Yuan Jun】... has also left." Zhong Ling withdrew his gaze and returned to the 'Qun Yu Pavilion' from the extended platform.

'...' Ying's expression was a little subtle, but Ying didn't have many expressions normally, so she was able to keep her composure.

She followed Zhong Ling's footsteps, and the fairies returned to the "Qun Yu Pavilion" together.

Seeing that everyone had retreated back to the ground, Ningguang also stopped outputting elemental power.

In just a moment, the boundary between humans and immortals was drawn.

"..." Zhong Ling pretended to look at the immortals for a few times, and then looked at Ningguang and other mortals. "Now that [Emperor] and [Yuanjun] have left one after another, do you mortals have anything to say?"

"I have also heard about the shocking speech made by the little girl from Yuhengxing at the last 'Ceremony of Inviting the Immortals'. Now that your words have become a reality, it is time to do what you should do."

"And the little girl from [Tianquan Star], I think you should know better than me where the group of guys who appeared earlier and disturbed the immortals came from. You should know what to do."

After speaking to the two [Seven Stars of Liyue], Zhong Ling looked at the immortals around him.

"Everyone, now that the Emperor and Yuanjun have left one after another, the duties of us immortals have not changed."

"Our duty is still to protect this land... No... What we have to protect is never the land but these people."

"Since our duties have not changed, we will just watch over them as before." At this point, Zhong Ling pondered for a moment. "Perhaps, we immortals will transform into mortals and sneak into the mortal world one day."

"If you little guys don't do well, don't blame the immortals for being merciless."

"...I understand." Keqing bowed to Zhong Ling and said seriously.

Although Keqing once complained about the immortal's condescending attitude, she could also see that the immortal was indeed dedicated as a guardian.

Because of their different identities, their views on things are also different. She understood that Miss Zhong Ling was using the views of an immortal to help mortals like them out of trouble. Since they had accepted her kindness, they had to show some results.

"I will keep your teachings in mind." Ningguang also bowed and said, "I hope you will take good care of Liyue in the future."

"Oh, the incident hasn't even ended yet and you've already started talking about 'please take good care of me'?" [True Lord Liuyunjiefeng] said coldly.

"Of course. You immortals are our predecessors. We still have a lot to learn from you. I hope you will be willing to teach us when the time comes."

"Okay, okay, Master Liuyun, stop being stubborn." Zhong Ling chuckled and walked to the side of Master Liuyun Jiefeng and touched her feathers.

"Being tough? I'm not." [True Lord Liuyunjiefeng] felt a chill on his back.

Now that this woman has stepped down from the position of [Yuan Jun], will she turn back into the lawless little tyrant she once was?

"Then let's go back. When we have free time in the future, how about coming to Liyue Harbor together? And ask Ganyu to come along." While combing the soft down, Zhong Ling forced herself to resist the urge to pull it hard.

“We’ll talk about it later.” [True Lord Liuyunjiefeng] spread his wings and flew away.

"Forget it, I'd better go home...I'd better go home." When [Li Shui Die Shan Zhen Jun] saw an immortal leaving, he also spread his wings and flew away.

B.65 Black Heart

Although the passing of [Emperor Geo] and [Lord Cangming] will bring extremely heavy pain to the hearts of the people of Liyue, life must go on.

Because when fighting against the [Demon of Whirlpool], there were [Faint] who were disrupting the situation.

In such a situation, the Fatui's interference is actually no different from declaring war.

However, Liyue, which had lost [Emperor Rock King] and [Cangming Yuanjun], was now at its weakest period, but it was only for this period of time.

Because the system of the [Seven Rulings of the World] will not collapse, this means that a new [God of Rock] will be born in Liyue in the future.

The same is true for [Cangming Yuanjun]. Although the Naga has been lost, the 'Water of Liyue' will not disappear.

One day, new 'Morax' and 'Naga' will appear in Liyue again.

The devil is immortal, and so is the elemental essence of the earth veins.

This is where Liyue’s confidence comes from. Of course... before they truly reappear, Liyue can only bluff.

“Even at this moment, we are still under the protection of the Emperor and Yuanjun.” Ningguang looked at the mountains and rivers in the distance through the window.

"The departure of [Emperor] and [Yuanjun] is still an uncertain factor for other countries, and... the system of [Seven Worldly Rulers] will not collapse, so the gods of other countries will never take action against Liyue."

Although everyone saw that [Cangming Yuanjun] transformed himself into thousands of seals to suppress the vortex.

But this does not mean that [Cangming Yuanjun] is really dead...at least that's the case for other countries.

This means that the power of [Emperor] and [Yuan Jun] is still there, and they are still the most reliable shade trees in Liyue.

Since the deterrent power of the [Seven Rulers of the World] still exists, as long as Liyue does not take the initiative to launch a war of annihilation against other countries, the [Seven Rulers of the World] will not take action.

In terms of "generals", the immortals of Liyue are among the most powerful among the seven nations.

When it comes to soldiers, Liyue's Thousand Rock Army is still reliable.

Moreover, now, areas such as the 'Qun Yu Pavilion' and the 'Liyue Port' all have the immortal mechanism called the [Return to the End Machine] that Keqing moved in.

Although ordinary people cannot use their immortal powers to provide them with more powerful strength, once the [Return to the End], which has the ability to shoot and kill giant beasts, launches an attack, it will be impossible for ordinary people to resist.

This also greatly strengthened Liyue's armed forces.

Therefore, the [Seven Stars of Liyue] don’t need to worry about anything when they take action.

It would be better to say...the more ruthlessly the [Seven Stars of Liyue] strike, the more it will demonstrate Liyue's strength, and only then will Liyue not be bullied before the new [God of Geo] is born.

"【The Fatui】..." Ningguang looked at the documents on the table. "You are stretching your hands too far."

For [Tianquanxing], which is in charge of the revision of laws and regulations, it is not difficult to give [The Fatui] a severe blow.

What Ningguang is thinking about now...

"If it's just one cut, maybe it's not enough..."

Ningguang was thinking about how to come up with a plan to raise pigs.

"Hmm? This is..." Suddenly, Ningguang saw five photos placed on the table.

The person in the photo is the Young Master, one of the executive officers of the Fatui.

The first picture shows [Young Master] quietly escaping from the 'Northland Bank'.

The second and third pictures show [Young Master] knocking out the [Thousand Rock Army] soldiers guarding the 'Golden House'.

The fourth picture is [Young Master] sneaking into the 'Golden House'.

The fifth picture shows the [Young Master] smashing the ceiling of the "Golden House" and escaping.

"Haha...it seems...this knife is not that simple." Ningguang touched the pipe beside her.

It was just a one-shot kill and then a slow bleeding.

Now...with this cut, I have to chop off a few bones of yours.

----

"Linglong, what are we going to do now?" Ying said after stretching. "Today is really a big event."

"Indeed." Zhong Ling nodded with a smile. "It is very difficult to create a clone like that."

"Clone... Come to think of it, is Linglong much stronger than that clone?" Ying asked curiously.

After all, when talking about clones, the first reaction is that they are not as strong as the original body.

"Well... how should I put it..." Zhong Ling said after a little thought. "In fact, the strength of that clone is not weaker than my real self."

It's not just a 'water clone'.

If one wants to fully utilize the [Power of Dust], it is impossible to rely on a clone alone. Instead, Zhong Ling's original body must be transformed into the [Demon of Dust]. However, such a transformation is irreversible, and Zhong Ling has no intention of turning himself into the [Demon of Dust].

In fact, the Dust Dragon was actually created by Zhong Ling and Zhong Li using the magic sword called "Endless Return", so it looks like a rock dragon.

The sword in the fake body's hand is the real body. That body itself is made of Zhongli's rock shape and the thousands of seals carved by Zhong Ling... Well, you can say that it is just a weapon used for self-destruction.

The two water tornadoes used to defeat Osel, a move called "Grains of Sand and Flat River", were actually cast by Zhongli.

The move [Cangming, gathering hundreds of rivers to form the sea] that suppresses the infinite water is Zhong Ling's. It cannot be used in Osel's domain, but Zhongli is Liyue's [Rock God] and is no longer as simple as the [Rock Demon God] he once was.

Everything within the range of Zhongli's divine power is 'Liyue'.

Zhong Ling, the "Water of Liyue", has absolute control. She does not need to fight against Osel's power and can directly suppress the falling sea water.

As for the sword mountain that was thrown down at the end...it was indeed driven by Zhong Ling's immortal power "Never Return" and then smashed down.

However, the vortex formed after Osel's death was suppressed by Zhong Ling and "Never Return".

In other words, although Zhongli has not shown up, he is actually nearby.

He was very satisfied with the performance of the common people before the 'Naga fake body' appeared.

In fact, when it comes to fighting against the devil, ordinary people are of no use at all. So why did the [Thousand Rocks Army] go up to the 'Qun Yu Pavilion'?

In fact, it was because Ningguang had already considered the possibility of someone disrupting the situation the moment Osel appeared, so she arranged the [Thousand Rocks Army]. The fact that the [Thousand Rocks Army] was able to withstand the pressure of the demon god in Zhong Ling's "sometimes effective" barrier was enough to be called a "great achievement."

Zhongli has always been satisfied with Ningguang's sharp and precise thinking.

As for Keqing... Zhongli felt that Keqing had a good vision, was measured in her actions, was prepared for a rainy day, and was resolute in her execution when she felt she was right. All of these were very satisfactory. The only flaw was that she was still a little immature and had little experience.

"Ah...you brothers and sisters are so cruel..." Ying had already imagined that the Fatui would be slaughtered by Ningguang and their blood would flow all over the ground.

"It can't be helped." Zhong Ling smiled and spread her hands. "Everything has a price."

"Now that you have done it, you have to pay the price."

"Now..." Ying showed a somewhat funny smile and stretched out her hand to Zhong Ling. "Miss Linglong."

"Let's go to the 'Northland Bank' and have a look." Zhong Ling took Ying's hand.

B.66 Clown

"You actually said this was cooperation between executives? If it was cooperation, at least there should be information exchange, right?!" [Young Master] stared at the white-haired woman in front of him with a bad expression.

This woman with a very hot body is none other than the eighth executive officer of the Fatui, the Lady, who had taken the 'Heart of the God of Wind' from Mondstadt not long ago.

"What does that matter?" The [lady] smiled happily, covering her mouth. "Anyway, fighting against the strong is your favorite thing, right?"

"Although we only fought in Mondstadt... maybe not even one round, Miss Ying is indeed quite powerful. Fighting with her should make you happy."

"Hmm... That's true." The [Young Master] nodded slightly. "In many ways, Miss Ying's endless ingenuity in the battle makes this operation quite worthwhile."

Although from various perspectives, [Young Master] was beaten up by Ying, his strength was there after all. Although he was not as skilled as Ying, his advantage in elemental power prevented him from being really beaten by Ying.

But fighting against the strong, this is the meaning of the [Young Master] joining the [Faint], and it is also the meaning of his life.

"Oh? An acquaintance is coming..." As soon as the [lady] finished speaking, she saw Zhong Ling who followed Ying in.

She suddenly recalled the star-like eyes she saw when she was suddenly pulled into a secret realm at the end of Mond some time ago.

The pressure from a high-level demon god is not something that ordinary people can contend with. This has already been proven by the [Demon God of Whirlpool] just now.

For mortals, facing the pressure of the devil is a great feat.

Although the [lady] was not an ordinary person, when she was in Mondstadt, what she faced was not the indiscriminate pressure released by the demon god across the entire area, but an aura directed only at her.

Just thinking back on it, I can feel the suffocating and desperate feeling as if I had fallen into the deep sea.

"You really caused a big fuss in Liyue, two executives of the Fatui." Stars flowed in his eyes, and his azure feathered robes moved without wind. The environment in the 'Bank of the North' suddenly became humid.

"It is not our intention to cause a disturbance in Liyue." Feeling the pressure from the supreme elemental dragon, [Lady] calmed herself down. "If your brother had not agreed, how could we have made such a plan?"

"So this is part of the plan?" the Young Master at the side suddenly said.

"..." [Madam]'s breathing stopped for a moment.
