Ningguang began to perform the magic used in the ritual of summoning immortals. A golden light from the incense burner shot into the sky. Golden light and auspicious clouds gradually appeared in the sky. All that was left was to wait for the Rock King to appear.
In the dark, the young executive officer of the Dong Kingdom was in the crowd, sweat on his head, holding a stack of "Hundred Taboos Scrolls" in his hand, and going over the plan in his mind over and over again.
Several nearby peaks have deployed personnel and props to find out the direction and location of the Rock King. The strongest Rock God has no chance of winning in a head-on battle. Wait for him to appear, then awaken the Sea Demon God. After the battle, when his strength is greatly reduced, that is your chance.
However, less than 3 minutes had passed. The sky suddenly changed, and the golden light and auspicious clouds turned into fiery red black clouds. The crowd watching the ceremony was talking about it, and they felt something was wrong. Ningguang on the altar was also panicked. What happened?
Suddenly, the dragon-shaped Rock King Emperor fell from the clouds onto the altar and stopped moving. Ningguang went forward to investigate and found that there was no sign of life.
"The Emperor has been murdered, the entire place is sealed off."
Countless Thousand Rocks soldiers appeared and surrounded the people watching the ceremony.
Ningguang's teeth were clattering, and a "井" shape was twisted on her head. Is this the big surprise you gave me? Lin Zixuan, Zhongli, you two just wait!!!
"Call the Seven Stars and hold a meeting at the Jade Pavilion. Liyue Harbor is under wartime management and the entire city is on high alert."
"Yes!"
Ying and Paimeng in the crowd were also confused.
"What...what's going on? She said the Emperor was killed...Is the God of Rock...dead? The Thousand Rocks Army seems to have blocked the intersection. Hey, where are you going?"
"Let's run as well! We won't be able to escape once we are surrounded. We still have a lot of things to do and we can't fall into the hands of the enemy."
The 'young master' in the crowd watched the travelers Ying and Paimeng leave, and had a new plan in his mind, so he followed them and left.
......
Lin Zixuan, who was hiding his strength and appearance far away in the Kingdom of Winter, came to a house.
Ignoring the door, he walked inside.
"This is an invitation from Liyue! It cannot be refused!"
"!!!"
Chapter 122 The situation is fermenting
Soon, the news that Liyue's Geo King had been killed spread throughout Liyue Harbor.
Liyue Harbor entered a wartime management state, and all roads leading to Yujingtai were blocked by a large number of military crystal vehicles. There was basically a guard post every ten steps and a sentry every five steps on the road.
When people from other countries see this speed and mobility from the balconies of their hotels and think back to their own country's armies, they realize that there is simply no comparison.
Especially some of Nata's messengers, when they saw the armaments and speed of action of the Thousand Rocks Army, and the Thousand Rocks Army soldier standing in the middle of the five-man patrol team, who was constantly reporting something on the walkie-talkie.
A powerful warrior of the combined level with the Divine Eye jumped onto the roof of Yuehai Pavilion and was about to leave through the roof, but his way was blocked by several fairy white tassel spears with shield-breaking properties flying from afar. As he refused to surrender, he was stabbed like a hedgehog by the Qianyan Army.
"Should we really run? I think we will die!" Paimon felt terrified as he looked at the powerful man with God's Eye who had turned into a hedgehog in the distance.
"While our attention is drawn to that guy, let's run!" Ying saw that many Qianyan soldiers were attracted over.
But they didn't see that a Qianyan soldier in the attic was staring at them with a video recorder.
"Reporting to headquarters, the leader of the combined treasure-stealing group has been dealt with. The blonde woman and her flying pet were found in the bamboo forest on the edge of the cliff and are moving downwards. Please give instructions."
"Received. Squad 24 of D Brigade has been dispatched to pursue the suspect."
"D Battalion 24th Squad has sighted the target and is in the process of confronting it. Hmm? A troublemaker has appeared. Should we handle it according to the situation in Exercise B?"
"Headquarters received this. Just let them go."
"Yes!"
After a battle, this team of Qianyan soldiers fell to the ground in a daze, and the shield that prevented them from making a final attack was activated at the moment of dizziness.
Tartaglia, who had already started the second stage, had many gunshot wounds on his face, arms, and legs. He took a deep breath and muttered to himself, "Although I knew that the elite Liyue Thousand Rock Army was difficult to deal with, I didn't expect it to be this difficult."
"Hurry up, they have already notified the nearby Qianyan Army."
"Well, thank you for saving me. You are injured, do you need help?" Ying asked with concern when she saw Tartaglia who was injured while helping in the battle.
"It's okay, just follow me first."
Tartaglia gave Ying a "Talisman of No Taboos" and asked her to go to Jueyunjian to look for the immortal.
"The target has entered the Northland Bank. The blonde woman and the flying pet are leaving Liyue Harbor."
"Continue to monitor the Northland Bank. The blonde has arranged for the rest of the team to follow."
"Yes."
Ye Lan crossed her arms, supported her chin, and listened to the report below.
Letting the blonde woman go was part of the plan. Since Lin Zixuan is so optimistic about this person, let me see what's different about him.
Ningguang, who had already changed her appearance, hurried to Changsheng Hall and learned that the guest official had gone out for tea.
Then I saw an old man drinking tea at an outdoor table at Sanwan Buguogang. I was about to approach him to ask him, but I found that I couldn't take a step forward.
After trying several times, he still couldn't get close to Zhongli, and heard a voice in his ear: "Do what you need to do."
Ningguang stared at the person at the table for a long time, bowed, turned and left, thinking silently in her heart.
"Can I control Liyue after it loses its god? The other seven stars may have other plans."
At night, except for Inazuma who was still in seclusion, the entire continent of Teyvat knew that a big event had happened in Liyue: the Emperor had been murdered.
According to the description of the on-site personnel, the rock god has died. Now only one of the original seven gods is left, the erratic wind god Barbatos.
However, the atmosphere in Liyue Harbor was filled with strangeness. The Qianyan Army finished the interrogation in the afternoon, and people dispersed. Except for the increase of three times the number of Qianyan Army patrolling in Liyue Harbor, nothing else seemed to have changed.
In the tavern.
"What's wrong with everyone? Why is no one talking tonight?" The burly bearded man looked at the people around him who were drinking silently.
"Emperor! Who on earth harmed you? None of the Seven Stars have expressed their opinions."
"Who killed him? Is there any need to think about it? Apart from other gods, only his closest relatives could kill him."
"That's right! We mortals certainly can't kill the Rock King Emperor. The only ones who can kill him are immortals, or people he has no defense against."
"What do you think? Could it be that Lin Zixuan from Xuanyuan Trading Company did it?" a merchant from Zhidong Country said sinisterly.
"hiss..."
The people in the tavern gasped.
"Bang!" The burly bearded man slapped the table.
"We have to find him and ask him clearly! Death at the hands of a despicable villain cannot be forgiven!"
The Fatui of the Winter Kingdom scattered in the taverns and teahouses of Liyue Harbor and began to stir up people's emotions. All kinds of vicious words and conspiracy theories were thrown at Lin Zixuan.
Lin Zixuan, who had already set out from the Kingdom of Winter and was returning to Liyue, was lying on a lounge chair on the deck, basking in the moonlight, using electromagnetic force to sense everything that was happening in Liyue.
It is a simple and effective strategy. The Kingdom of Zhidong is quite capable. As the saying goes, it takes only one mouth to spread a rumor, but it takes a lot of effort to refute it.
In this age of underdeveloped communications, rumors will not only become more and more distorted, but will also gradually become true as more and more people know about them.
If a normal person was wrongly accused, he might end up having to decide whether to eat one bowl of noodles or two. Unfortunately, this strategy doesn't work in Liyue, where news can be broadcast live to all the towns. Let's play chess! Let Ningguang play it.
"What do you want to do? My brother will not let you go!" A girl on the boat mustered up the courage.
"I'm just simply inviting you to visit Liyue!" Lin Zixuan smiled.
"Of course not. If you smile that disgusting smile, I will let my brother smash your face!"
"Not bad, not bad. You have the courage, but you still lack strategy. Let me think, what would normal thieves do in this situation?
Ah! Got it, I should lift your chin and lick your tender cheeks with my tongue. Then I will drag you into the room and do some naughty things, right? "
Lin Zixuan sat up and walked to the girl. The girl shrank back, but her bound hands and feet did not allow her to move much.
"It's windy at night at sea, go inside the boat and rest. Don't think you can run away by jumping into the sea!"
He gently rubbed her head and used the Wood Release Technique to untie the ropes of their family. Lin Zixuan lay back on the recliner and closed his eyes to rest. The good show had just begun.
In the Jade Pavilion, the Seven Stars meeting ended. Except for Yuheng Star and Tianshu Star, the other seven stars left one after another.
“Ningguang, where are you going to place the remains of Geolord?” Keqing asked.
"Put it in the Golden House for now. The security there is the best."
"Yes, that's the best. The security facilities there have been improved a lot over the years. I'm afraid only the strength of an immortal can break through."
Keqing nodded. The Golden House had been changed beyond recognition over the years. If you want to get in, you can only use your brute force to fight your way in, but whether you can get out after entering is still a question.
There is a Qianyan Army camp stationed nearby, and if there is a problem, they will immediately march to support. Any possible way to get in has been simulated, and there are almost no blind spots.
"Ningguang, Geo King should not be dead, right?" Uncle Tian, a veteran Seven Stars, sorted out the current information.
“????” Keqing looked at Uncle Tian in confusion.
"Aqing, your family is a great noble family in Liyue. The family should have collected a lot of information about the death of the demon gods. I wonder if you have discovered some problems in it."
"After the death of the demon god? Family records say that after the death of the demon god, ghosts and monsters will surely appear. The place where the demon god dies will surely be a desolate place. The more powerful the demon god is, the greater the scope of impact will be, and it will last for thousands of years and cannot be eliminated." Keqing recalled the words in the ancient books at home.
"As the most powerful of the demon gods, the death of the Rock King has absolutely no impact on Liyue. Do you think that's possible?"
"!!! It's really impossible." Keqing figured out the key point.
The two looked at Ningguang, waiting for her reply.
"Uncle Tian, when do you think it would be best for you to retire?" Ningguang asked back.
"Me?" Uncle Tian stroked his beard. "I feel like I'm getting old lately, and I'm not doing enough. I'll probably retire in a few years."
"Since you will choose to retire and go home to enjoy your old age in a few years, will the Rock King Emperor also choose to retire when he gets old?"
"This..." Uncle Tian and Keqing were shocked.
"My answer is: The Rock King is dead. According to the Emperor's wishes, from now on, it will be the era of humans.
Keqing, the era you want to see without the protection of the Geo King has arrived. Be prepared to deal with all kinds of problems! "
"Will that Lin Zixuan inherit the throne of the Rock King Emperor?"
"No. Liyue will probably not have gods in the future. This is because the Geo King has been engraved into the bones of the people of Liyue, and even after thousands of years, it cannot be erased."
There was a knock on the door.
"Lord Tianquanxing, urgent news!"
"Come in." Ningguang said.
Bai Wen handed a report to Ning Guang.
"Bang!" The table worth tens of thousands of Mora was smashed to pieces, and the items on the table fell to the ground.
"These fools are so brave." Ningguang was angry. Uncle Tian, holding a teacup in his hand, looked at the broken table, not knowing whether to put it down or drink from it.
"Sorry, I lost my composure. Here is the information. Take a look." Ningguang used rock elements to condense a new table, handed the information over, and arranged for Baiwen to serve tea again.
Uncle Tian and Keqing looked at the intelligence documents that were discrediting Lin Zixuan and could not help but get angry. If this incident is not handled properly, under the manipulation of someone with ulterior motives, the problem will be very serious. Once those uninformed Liyue people are led into the rhythm, it will lead to unpredictable results.
"What should we do? One mouth can't speak louder than tens of thousands of others! I'm afraid those people will do something extreme."
"Rumors stop with the wise, arise with the foolish, and start with the scheming. I'm afraid these people have big plans." Uncle Tian also began to think about the key.
“No matter what their plot is, Liyue will kill them one by one.” Ningguang said seriously.
Chapter 123 Continuous Fermentation
The next day.
People who hadn't slept all night saw that the newspaper only wrote a few words about the emperor's murder, and there was no further news. People were holding their breath and could burst out at any time. The people of Liyue seemed to be waiting for the reply of Qixing.
Thousands of people gathered at the entrance of the General Affairs Department. The General Affairs Department posted a message on the bulletin board at the entrance saying: The Qianyan Army is still investigating the case and it will take time. Once the truth is revealed, everyone will be given an explanation.
Many people with low tear points had already burst into tears and kept worshipping the statue of the Rock King. The whole city was immersed in pain.
"It must have been done by Lin Zixuan! There is a grudge between them!"
"Yes, it must be him! He was sealed by Morax in the passenger station square a few years ago. Now he is strong enough to seize the position of god."
"He gave Liyue so many benefits just to prevent us from rebelling against him. We must not be fooled by him!"
"Lin Zixuan hasn't shown up yet. He must have been injured in a battle and has gone into hiding to recover."
"We can't let Lin Zixuan go, and we can't let Xuanyuan Trading Company go. Everyone, follow me and smash his store together."
