What bad intentions could the original dragon have?

I clearly saw Zhong Ling get into the cup, but the cup was still empty.

Then, a chaotic vortex emerged from the mouth of the cup, and the stream of light transformed by Zhong Ling flew out of the cup and turned into a human form again.

"Well, even though I haven't used it for a long time, I'm still not rusty."

As long as one is proficient in using the [External Scene Technique], even a stone can be used to create a stable entrance and exit.

However, due to the material, such entrance and exit anchor points usually cannot last for too long.

An anchor made of a randomly picked up stone can only last about twelve hours.

If the timeout is too late and the entrance and exit anchor point collapses, then they can only come out from "White Dragon Gorge" or rely on Ying's teleportation anchor point.

Although it is possible to use better materials to make anchors that can last longer.

But if the material is too good to be used as an anchor, what if someone picks it up...

"In other words, can we live in Linglong's secret realm in the future?" Paimeng asked excitedly.

The scenery I saw that day was quite shocking.

"Ah."

B.70 struck by lightning

"Are you leaving?" Hu Tao asked with wide eyes, looking at Zhong Ling in front of her. "Why so suddenly?"

"I stayed at the 'Wangsheng Hall' before because I wanted to see Liyue as a mortal, and now..." Zhong Ling did not continue speaking, but just smiled at Hu Tao.

The fact that Zhong Ling is an immortal cannot be concealed.

After all, many people saw Zhong Ling take action in the 'Qun Yu Pavilion' that day.

Also, Hu Tao actually already knew that Zhongli was not an ordinary person.

Back then, when Hu Tao was still young, she took over the "Wangsheng Hall" from her grandfather, the 75th generation hall master.

When Old Hu was dying, he was worried about Hu Tao, so he asked his "friend regardless of age difference" Zhongli to take good care of Hu Tao.

This is also one of the reasons why Zhongli became a guest official of the 'Wangsheng Hall'.

Although Old Hu did not know Zhongli's true identity, he also understood Zhongli's identity as an immortal.

Because Old Hu had also met Zhongli when he was young.

Hu Tao naturally understood that Zhongli was not an ordinary person, but she didn't care who he was.

Usually, she just regarded Zhongli as a mortal who looked young but had the personality of an antique, who knew everything but cared about nothing.

"That's a shame." Kurumi sighed. "It was quite pleasant to spend time with you guys."

"We just found a new place to live. We're not leaving Liyue. We might come to find you someday." Zhong Ling knew Hu Tao's story because Zhongli had told her about such a person.

Her grandfather is the 75th generation, and she is the 77th generation, among which...

To Zhong Ling, Hu Tao’s life story could not be considered tragic, because Zhong Ling had seen too many people with tragic lives.

But Hu Tao is a wonderful person, Zhong Ling is sure of that.

To ordinary people, Hu Tao's quirky personality is hard to handle, but to Zhong Ling, she quite likes children like Hu Tao who like to playful.

Moreover, Hu Tao is not a person who does not know her limits. Her mischief is based on the premise that it is acceptable and will not really hurt others.

"Oh! It's a deal then, you must come and play with me." Walnut shouted excitedly. "If there is anything fun, you must think of me first."

"Okay." Zhong Ling chuckled and nodded, agreeing to Hu Tao's agreement.

"Okay~" Although Hu Tao often makes trouble, she also makes trouble for different people. The closer the person is, the more she makes trouble. "I didn't expect that such a big~ person like Miss Ling would be so friendly."

"Big shot? I'm just an ordinary person."

"Yeah." Walnut grinned, revealing a smile that meant 'I understand'.

In fact, Hu Tao doesn't have much awe for immortals.

In Hu Tao's eyes, even immortals, whether it is [Cang Ming Yuan Jun] or [Yan Wang Di Jun], are ultimately "life".

For these two, isn't it time for the 'Wangsheng Hall' to organize the 'Sending Off the Immortals Ceremony'?

For walnuts, yin and yang are in order, but fate is unpredictable.

Regardless of identity or status, they are all the same in Walnut's eyes.

What she truly respects is 'death' and 'life'.

In Zhong Ling's eyes, Hu Tao actually possesses a certain degree of "divinity", which is the so-called great love.

But Walnut has not reached the level of the devil, who has boundless love.

If I had to say...Zhong Ling thinks Hu Tao is quite similar to herself.

Possessing the great love of 'divinity', he also has the preference of 'humanity'.

Although Zhong Ling and Hu Tao did not communicate much, they seemed to get along very well.

However, perhaps it is precisely because of Walnut's "divinity" that people around her are afraid of her.

"Let's stop here and say goodbye. We will always have the chance to meet again in the future." Zhong Ling looked at the door of the 'Wangsheng Hall'. "Besides, the 'Send Immortal Ceremony' of the Emperor in a few days, and the 'Send Immortal Ceremony' of the Yuan Lord in a few days, Master Hu will definitely not be absent."

"I actually wanted to be absent." Hu Tao spread her hands. She didn't want to appear in the crowd, but after all, it was such a big event, and as the head of the 'Wangsheng Hall', it was naturally impossible for her not to show up.

Although there will definitely be Zhongli to serve as a foil, and the most capable Wang Xiaomei in Liyue... Ganyu will be there.

The secretary of the Liyue Seven Stars is the truly terrifying one.

"That's right... Well, I'll go back to the house now. We'll leave early tomorrow morning."

"Yeah, you don't need to tell me then." Walnut nodded quickly and stood up. "Okay, it's time to bask in the moonlight, I'm going out~"

Having said this, Walnut quickly ran out of the door of the 'Wangsheng Hall'.

——A few days later——

"Send it over, the Seven Stars official announcement"

“Everyone should know: Even though a soaring dragon or a flying unicorn may live as long as a mountain, it will eventually turn into dust and ashes.”

"The Emperor's immortal record, his fate is as bright as the sun and the moon, but sometimes it is cloudy and sometimes it is sunny, and sometimes it happens to be a thunderstorm."

"There are all kinds of rumors on the street, saying that the emperor was assassinated, but it is not true."

"The Emperor suffered a heavenly calamity, and his soul returned to heaven."

"Therefore, I hereby announce this to Liyue, and pray that the people of Liyue will mourn with patience and avoid being heartbroken."

"Also, don't listen to rumors and make assumptions."

Listening to the Seven Stars official announcement narrated by the instructor of the Thousand Rock Army who participated in the battle against the demon god in the 'Qun Yu Pavilion' a few days ago.

Zhong Ling glanced at Zhong Li quietly and pursed her lips to prevent herself from laughing.

"It's nothing." Zhongli crossed his arms over his chest and glanced at Zhong Ling's slightly pursed lips and said, "The people who watched the ceremony that day all saw the flash of red lightning."

"The Emperor suffered a calamity and his soul returned to heaven. This statement... does make sense."

"Hmmmm." Zhong Ling nodded with a subtle expression.

That day, the sky was first filled with auspicious clouds, which was a sign of the arrival of the [Emperor Rock King].

Then Zhong Ling quietly summoned thunderclouds to replace the auspicious clouds, and quietly mixed in a little bit of pressure.

Make that thundercloud more terrifying than ordinary thunderclouds.

Zhong Ling quietly cast a bolt of lightning and at the same time cast [Spiritual Magic: Flowers in the Mist] on everyone.

This is an illusion. Well, Zhong Ling's illusion does not directly affect people's minds.

Instead, it creates an illusion similar to a mirage.

Since the dark clouds are real and the rain is real, then the flashing thunder is also real.

However, what actually flashed was white thunder, while what ordinary people saw was red thunder that was created as an illusion by Zhong Ling.

Taking all the conditions into consideration, it is reasonable for the Emperor to encounter a heavenly calamity.

And...from a certain perspective, the people of Liyue don't want the existence of a murderer.

After all, [Gro Emperor] is the supreme god of Liyue and the most powerful god.

How could such a being be killed without any warning?

Therefore, the fact that there is no murderer makes it easier for the people of Liyue to accept it.

B.71 Baalzebub

‘Dang! ’

After the edgeless sword was 'entangled' on the blade of another sword in the air and rotated for several weeks, the long sword was swung and stabbed into the soil.

"Ah... I lost." Ying sighed as she looked at her empty hands. "Is Linglong's swordsmanship so strong?"

Ying's swordsmanship was honed through traveling across countless worlds and through numerous battles.

I thought her swordsmanship was the best in the world, but I didn't expect Zhong Ling's swordsmanship was even better than hers.

"Those who have lived too long must know a little bit about everything." Zhong Ling said, holding the sword in his hand.

"Your 'knowing a thing or two' actually means being proficient in all eight things, right?" Ying hooked his finger, and the wind elemental force bounced up the edgeless sword on the ground, and Ying sucked the sword into his palm.

"Haha." Zhong Ling smiled but said nothing. "Ying's swordsmanship must have been honed in battle."

In Zhong Ling's opinion, Ying's swordsmanship is unmatched in Teyvat.

"Well, when I traveled to various worlds with my brother, we experienced a lot of battles." Ying nodded. "But, Linglong, your swordsmanship seems to be more defensive, eh?"

During the sparring just now, Ying discovered that Zhong Ling's swordsmanship was mainly based on defensive moves.

Well, this is normal, after all, he has a brother who is known as the [God of War].

At that time, the little Naga was very competitive and would often look for Morax to fight with.

And her martial arts were trained in this way...

Because Morax is a famous stone in Liyue.

When he sparred with him, he hit really hard.

In order to avoid getting hit, Zhong Ling's sword skills became more defensive as he practiced.

"I see." After listening to Zhong Ling's reasoning, Ying nodded in understanding. "Linglong's swordsmanship is so good. Is there anyone in Teyvat who is better than you besides Zhongli? Well, it doesn't necessarily have to be swordsmanship, other weapons can also be used."

"Emmm...yes." Zhong Ling pondered for a moment and then nodded.

Zhong Ling's martial arts were developed through sparring with Zhong Li, and they are the ones who are most familiar with each other's moves.

When they were young, Zhong Ling was naturally inferior to Zhong Li, and now if we just talk about martial arts, they may fight for hundreds of days and it will be difficult to determine the winner.

Apart from Zhongli...the only one who is comparable to her is the country girl from Inazuma.

"Who?"

"A country girl." Zhong Ling thought of an old friend whom he hadn't seen for six or seven hundred years, and pressed his forehead in distress.

"Country girl?" Ying became interested.

Liyue is very large and has different areas. If we have to say, places like 'Qingce Village' and 'Dihua Prefecture' belong to the countryside.

But Zhong Ling lives in 'White Dragon Gorge', which is one of the most deserted places in Liyue.

So Zhong Ling is also a country girl?

"She's not from Liyue, she's from Inazuma." Seeing that Ying seemed to have misunderstood, Zhong Ling explained.

"Um...isn't it inappropriate to say that Inazuma is from the country?" Ying didn't quite understand, but she remembered that Qin had said that before.

All countries are actually countries, they are just called differently when they were established.

Theoretically speaking, Inazuma and Liyue are both one of the seven kingdoms, and there is no difference in status.

"It's not that Inazuma is country, but that guy looks like a country girl."

"Tell me about it, tell me about it!" Ying's curiosity was aroused.

"Forget it. This will destroy that guy's dignity, right? Well... although she has no dignity to begin with." Zhong Ling spread her hands.
