The Anemo Archon Is Plotting Against the Geo Archon? Hurry and Suppress Mondstadt!
"Oh, it means that if you stick this ruler into the ground, the soil will be covered with salt like a flood."
Laxus: "..."
"How should I put it, this power is surprisingly practical?" Cecilia said, both amused and exasperated.
"Wow, so that means if we have this, we won't need to buy salt anymore?!" Kiana's eyes lit up.
"Exactly."
Ling Yuan smiled slightly.
"Alright, let's go back."
"Aren't you going any further in?"
"These are the only two things that give me authority. There's nothing else to take after that," Ling Yuan said, shrugging.
Chapter 338 The Wind God plots to harm the Archon? Quickly go and suppress Mondstadt!
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
During this time, the group took in the beautiful landscapes of Liyue.
I also went to Mondstadt and gave the Eye of Salt to Barbara.
The latter was very moved when he saw it.
After all, for a wet nurse, the ability to regulate and continuously produce saline solution is extremely important.
Afterwards, the group returned to Liyue Harbor.
And today at noon is the annual [Seven Stars Rite of Descension].
Whether it's a coincidence or the World Will, I don't know.
Today, Kong and Paimon have just left Mondstadt and arrived at Liyue Harbor.
"Huh? It's Ling Yuan and the others, Traveler, let's hurry over."
Paimon had just entered the city again, saw Ling Yuan and the others appraising (replica) jewelry at Mingxin Boutique and waved happily.
It flew over.
"Little Paimon?"
Kiana happily ran over to Paimon after seeing Paimon.
Bella is nice, but she's just too big.
Bella's expression dimmed slightly as she looked at the two who wanted to be together.
Ling Yuan, who had Belleronus on his head, turned his head when he heard the sound.
She put down the jewelry she was holding.
He slowly walked towards the Traveler and Paimon.
"You've arrived! We've been waiting for you for so long."
"How long? Ling Yuan, did you know we were coming all this time?"
Paimon curiously.
"Uh-huh?"
"Don't use new words!" Paimon stomped his foot at the void.
Ling Yuan smiled and patted Paimon's head, then spoke into the air, "Better late than early. The Rite of Descension will be held soon."
Paimon: "The Rite of Descension, isn't that...?"
Ignoring Paimon, Ling Yuan continued, "Later, you need to move forward as much as possible. Zhongli already hinted at it quite clearly, didn't he?"
Kong nodded. "I understand."
Yujing Terrace
Ningguang Ningguang, one of the Liyue Qixing, is the host of this year's Rite of Descension.
A huge incense burner stands in the center of Yujing Terrace, surrounded by offerings.
The surrounding area was filled with visitors who came to watch this year's Rite of Descension.
Kong, meanwhile, led Paimon through the crowd to the very front.
Ningguang glanced at the bright sun in the sky.
Seeing that the auspicious time had arrived, he unleashed his ultimate move.
On the roof of Bubu Pharmacy, Qiqi gazed down at the Rite of Descension.
For Qiqi, whose memory spans less than three days, witnessing the Lord of Geo was a major event.
As Ningguang swung his arm, several crystals resembling amber flew into the incense burner.
In an instant, the clouds in the sky began to swirl.
Boom!
A beam of yellow light shot straight up into the sky from inside the incense burner!
However, the next second
Everyone present changed their expressions.
Unlike before, the sky suddenly turned dark with clouds.
To everyone's astonishment, a brown Flood Dragon plummeted from the sky.
They smashed the Yujing Terrace.
On the summit of Mt. Tianheng, not far from Yujing Terrace, Zhongli watched his immortal ancestor's hair fall.
Then he understood that he could retire.
"You've arrived."
Suddenly, Zhongli turned to the side.
Then they saw Ling Yuan walking slowly towards them.
"We can't miss the Rock God's farewell."
As he spoke, Ling Yuan looked towards the Yujing Terrace: "It has already begun."
Zhongli also looked over
After Ningguang shouted, "[The Archon has been murdered, seal off the entire venue]",
Sora and Paimon were about to leave secretly, but were unfortunately discovered by Millelith Officer.
In the end, he was rescued by the Childe.
Watching Kong and Tartaglia disappear, Ling Yuan said, "Shouldn't we take the Tome of Forbidden Arts to Jueyun Karst next?"
"You really can't hide anything from me," Zhongli chuckled.
"Indeed, although the immortals and Liyue have a contract, after I leave, we don't know how they will resolve this incident."
"Ling Yuan, let's witness this together."
"I don't think it will take that long," Ling Yuan chuckled.
"Oh?"
Zhongli exclaimed in surprise.
Ling Yuan did not answer, but simply smiled.
"Now, you should focus on preparing for your own funeral."
With that, he waved and left.
Jueyun Karst
When Kong and Paimon arrived
Two birds, a sika deer, and Shenhe were already waiting for him there.
Sora was also bewildered by the scene before him.
Shenhe, what are you doing here?
Paimon noticed the large blue bird behind him and asked.
"Traveler, speak quickly if you have something to say, I have other matters to attend to." The True Lord, skilled in conversation, spread his wings and said.
If Shenhe hadn't called her, she wouldn't have wanted to come out of the cave.
Seeing this, Kong didn't waste any words and took out the Unrestricted Talisman.
"Here's what happened."
Paimon then began to explain.
Soon, Paimon recounted the events of the Rite of Descension.
"What?! The Archon was assassinated?! How could such a thing happen?!"
The three immortals were extremely shocked upon hearing this news.
The Archon is the strongest among the Seven Gods.
Who could assassinate him?
Unless they are of the same rank...
Upon hearing this thought, Cloud Retainer spoke up, "Traveler, when the Archon was assassinated, did you see anyone?"
"People..."
"There's no point in saying more, let's just search his soul!" Liu Yun said directly, seeing Kong still hesitating.
"Liu Yun, calm down." Moon Carver the ground with his foot.
A burst of immortal power finally Cloud Retainer back to his senses.
"I'm sorry, I never thought that even someone as calm as me could lose control of my emotions one day," said Cloud Retainer.
"Shenhe, when you were in Liyue, did you notice anything unusual?" Cloud Retainer.
"Before this, His Majesty the Archon had met with Barbatos, the Anemo God," Shenhe said.
"What? Barbatos, the Anemo God? Gentlemen, come with me immediately to suppress Mondstadt!"
Null. "..."
Paimon: "Uh..."
Why is this immortal being so clumsy?
"Gentlemen, hearing is believing. Perhaps we should go to Liyue Harbor to verify this first," said Mountain Shaper.
"That makes sense. Let us go to Liyue together," said River Skipper.
"It seems that this is the only way."
Upon hearing this, Cloud Retainer abandoned his plan to suppress Mondstadt.
After all, she, a single bird, couldn't possibly defeat the gods of Mondstadt.
"Traveler, you and Shenhe should head to Wangshu Inn. The Vigilant Yaksha and the Guardian Yaksha are there. We'll go to Liyue Harbor first."
As he spoke
The three immortals left together.
Seeing that the departing figures were three immortals, Kong was momentarily confused.
Something feels off.
It's as if everything has already been arranged.
"Let's go to Wangshu Inn," Shenhe said.
"Good."
