You Know What I Mean / As Steadfast as a Rock

At the same time

Through Rosalyn's introduction, Tartaglia met Zhongli.

When Zhongli first saw Tartaglia, a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.

He could sense that this person was someone he had a connection with.

Chapter 339 Those who know, know

"Forehead..."

Whether it was just her imagination or not, Tartaglia had a very bad feeling the moment she saw Zhongli.

But considering that the other party was a guest of [Wangsheng Funeral Parlor], I didn't think much of it.

It's normal for people who teeter on the edge of life and death to give off an uncomfortable feeling.

"Um, what, Mr. Zhongli, I heard you're going to hold Rite of Sending Immortals for [Lord of Geo]?" The Childe sat down opposite Zhongli and asked.

Zhongli smiled slightly, "Yes, the ceremony of inviting the immortals is of great importance, and the ceremony of sending them off is equally important. This is a tradition of Liyue."

"However, the Seven Stars have neglected their duties because of the death of the Lord of Geo."

"Haha, interesting. This is the first time I've heard someone from Liyue talk about the Liyue Qixing like this. Mr. Zhongli, I'm really looking forward to our collaboration."

Zhongli took a small sip of tea.

Guyun Pavilion

Ling Yuan stood atop Belleronus's head, looking down at the sea below.

In this sea area, there dwells the suppressed Osial, the Vortex Demon God and Osial's wife, Bàchè, the Remnant of the Vortex.

"What's the point of just temporarily lifting the ban? If we're going to go for it, we should go all out."

With a murmur, Ling Yuan reached his hand down.

Hundreds of golden halos appeared behind Ling Yuan.

Splash!

The chains flew out of the void and suddenly embedded themselves into the Lonely Cloud Pavilion.

This vast Lonely Cloud Pavilion is the end of Morax's Rock Spear.

One can imagine just how enormous its body must be.

The Chains of Heaven slammed heavily onto Lonely Cloud Pavilion.

Belleronus vanished, God-Slaying Weapon [Silver Dragon's Judgment] appeared, covering Ling Yuan's arms.

Without hesitation, Ling Yuan grabbed the chain and began to pull it.

Following closely behind was the turbulent sea.

Liyue Harbor

Upon returning, Kong was introduced to Zhongli by Tartaglia.

Tartaglia was still introducing them, unaware that the two had already known each other for a long time.

"So, Zhongli, you want us to help you complete the Rite of Sending Immortals?" Paimon asked.

Zhongli nodded. "Yes."

"We don't have any other options, do we?" Paimon looked into the air and shrugged.

Now being pursued by the Millelith, he wants to prove himself.

Everything needs Zhongli.

"That's right, no matter how much you think about it, the result will be the same," the Childe agreed.

Kong glanced at Zhongli and said, "It seems that this is the only way."

Zhongli nodded. "Yes, we'll talk about the details on the way."

Subsequently, Yi Long, along with his Paimon, emerged from the Guhua Teahouse.

After leaving the Guhua Teahouse, Paimon flew to Zhongli's side and asked curiously, "Zhongli, didn't Ling Yuan already prepare that [Rite of Sending Immortals] for you?"

Upon hearing this, Zhongli couldn't help but cover his forehead. "Indeed, everything has been taken care of."

"Then there's nothing to do. But Zhongli, don't you feel awkward taking yourself home?" Paimon asked curiously.

Zhongli chuckled lightly, "Haha, perhaps, but if I can see the future of Liyue, I have no problem with it."

"Alright, let's get started on the setup."

"Um."

At the same time

Because of Ling Yuan's early intervention

Just as the Liyue Qixing were discussing how to handle the Archon's murder...

The arrival of the immortals sent a jolt through Liyue Qixing, who was still unsettled.

The immortals have come here to demand an explanation.

Ningguang, however, did not back down in the face of this.

The two sides argued back and forth, neither gaining the upper hand.

Boom!

However, just when neither side was willing to back down

A roaring sound came from afar.

Lightning flashed and thunder roared in the sky, and the wind became extremely turbid.

"What is that?"

Both sides who were arguing stopped.

"Guyun Pavilion, could it be?!" Mountain Shaper's pupils shrank.

"The ancient demon god who was suppressed by the Archon has broken free of his restraints?!"

"Could it be that with the Archon's death, the seal has also been broken?" Xiao's expression changed.

"No matter what, the Liyue Qixing, we have made a pact with the Archon to protect Liyue Harbor."

The only immortal present with a clear mind was the Mountain Shaper.

"We will discuss the matter of the Archon's murder after we have resolved the immediate crisis."

"Good!"

Ningguang nodded immediately.

She had also read about the demon god who was suppressed under the Lonely Cloud Pavilion in the ancient books.

Moreover, she had no intention of clashing with the immortals.

"Fellow immortals, please join me in ascending the Jade Chamber."

"No need, we'll be faster," Cloud Retainer said, then spread his wings and flew towards Osial.

The other immortals also left using their own methods.

Seeing this, Ningguang didn't say anything.

He led the other combat personnel up to the Jade Chamber.

Meanwhile, the Childe sitting in the Guhua Teahouse learning to use chopsticks was completely bewildered after feeling this suffocating pressure.

What's going on?

"Um?"

Zhongli, who had just finished setting up, looked in the direction of Guyun Pavilion with surprise.

Chapter 340 As Solid as a Rock

"It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early!"

Upon seeing this, Kong chuckled softly.

With a powerful stomp, he leaped onto the head of Belleronus.

After a moment's thought, Zhongli landed on Belleronus's head.

"Zhongli, take this."

Ling Yuan tossed a Grandmaster-level mask from the King's Treasure Trove to Zhongli.

"This is?"

Zhongli looked at the Crown of Reason in his hand, somewhat bewildered.

"Obtained from the copy of Kaichi."

Ling Yuan replied casually.

Zhongli only paused for a moment before putting it on her face.

His clothes gradually changed from the color of rock, which symbolizes the virtue of bearing all things, to white.

"You know what, looking at it this way, it does resemble the Rock God quite a bit," Ling Yuan teased.

Zhongli smiled gently.

"Ling Yuan, I hope you can watch this battle as an observer for the time being."

"No problem."

Ling Yuan answered very decisively.

Even Zhongli was taken aback.

Then, remembering that Ling Yuan knew about his faked death beforehand, he calmed down.

Guyun Pavilion

The two demons of the vortex, intertwined, lurked in the sea.

On the Jade Chamber

Ningguang stared intently at Osial and Bache opposite her.

This is a terrifying demon god from ancient times who could fight against the Archon.

She had no choice but to be extremely vigilant.

The immortals also began to sit down and prepare.

But Osial on the other side was clearly already at his breaking point.

He will repay the humiliation of being suppressed for thousands of years tenfold today!

"Morax!"

Osial roared, then looked towards Liyue Harbor in the distance.

The roar was filled with the flames of revenge.

Neither he nor Ba Che took the Jade Chamber and the immortals seriously.

In Osial's eyes, there was only one Morax, and only one, who was his true rival!

"Such terrifying pressure! Just getting close makes me feel uncomfortable all over." Ningguang frowned.

"Some soldiers of the Millelith have already begun to experience fainting symptoms," Keqing said.

"That's exactly right, and we absolutely mustn't let them get close to Liyue Harbor!"

Having said that, Ningguang looked at the immortals and said, "Fellow immortals, at this critical moment, we should unite to fight the enemy!"

"Snort!"

"Moon Carver" let out a cold snort.

But it flew out together with all the immortals.
