The last time he visited Liyue, Diyuzhou happened to see Xiaoxu struggling with karmic obstacles and about to have an attack. Seeing this, he naturally couldn't just stand by and do nothing, so he used some methods to temporarily suppress Xiaoxu's karmic obstacles.

When he saw Xiao appear in front of him again, he still looked at him curiously.

Is this karmic obstacle even stronger?

If you keep going like that, there will come a day when you can't control it anymore. Even I, even the old man, will eventually lose control.

Let me see, whether he needs it or not...

He looked at Xiao with some surprise.

The karmic burden within Xiao's body was not only no more than when he last saw him, but was even less than before.

Could it be that the old man has found a way to cleanse the karmic obstacles within Xiao's body? If so, it would be extremely beneficial to the entire Teyvat.

The so-called karmic obstacles are mostly the accumulated things from the Archon Residue.

Venti wanted to ask Morax for advice.

On the other side, when Xiao saw Venti appear, his eyes widened, and he instinctively wanted to speak.

Venti quickly interrupted Xiao.

"Hey, ship owner, although I may look young, I'm a well-known bard in Mondstadt and I'm an adult who can drink alcohol. I'm completely different from them..."

Venti pointed to Xiao, Bai Ye, and Kazuha.

"You can say that to others, but I don't agree with it." Beidou looked down and reached out to take the bottle from Venti's hand.

"None of you four are getting any alcohol."

Beidou looked around at the four people, and especially patted Bai Ye on the shoulder.

"Especially you, don't become one of those decadent youths!"

After Beidou finished speaking, he walked directly onto the ship.

"You guys, remember to keep up with me too."

Bai Ye and the others then went up to the upper floor.

Xiao then looked at Venti, Venti made a shushing gesture.

I don't want my identity to be revealed!

Xiao saw through Venti's thoughts and kept quiet.

Neither he nor Venti could possibly know that Bai Ye actually knew Venti's identity.

Bai Ye watched Venti standing right in front of him, subconsciously scrutinizing her.

This is the Anemo Archon, the second one of the Seven Earthly Lords he's encountered. Of course, since it's Venti, his feelings for him aren't as strong.

The only feeling I have right now is...

How come he's a little taller than me?!

Seeing that Bai Ye's gaze was fixed on her, Venti immediately smiled and said, "What? Want to learn some dating tips from me? I'm quite good at how to win a girl's heart!"

Just as Venti was saying this, several female sailors disembarked from the ship. Their eyes lit up when they saw them.

"See? My fleet is still quite popular..."

Venti had barely finished speaking when the girls surrounded Bai Ye and started flirting with him.

"Pfft—" Kazuha couldn't help but laugh.

Xiao forced himself not to laugh.

This is my benefactor, this is my benefactor, this is the Anemo Archon, this is the Anemo Archon...

He kept repeating it to himself.

Venti, on the other hand, didn't feel embarrassed at all. She even watched with great interest Bai Ye was surrounded and flirted with by various girls.

"Tsk tsk tsk, no wonder he is the holder of the Genshin Eye the Anemo Element, he is easy to be liked by girls."

He also commented as follows.

It was only after Bai Ye waited until the navigator Hui Xing and the other girls' eagerness subsided a bit that he finally came aboard the Japanese ship with Venti Xiao and the others.

"Phew~"

Once aboard the ship, Bai Ye breathed a sigh of relief.

To avoid being approached by strangers again, Bai Ye immediately pulled Xiao and the others to one side of the ship.

The four Anemo boys are together.

Venti gently plucked a string and began to speak.

"What are you two doing at Guyun Domain? There are lots of monsters there."

"We're clearing away the remnants left behind by demons and Gods."

Xiao said very honestly.

Xiao's identity isn't exactly a secret in Liyue. Because he has done a lot of exorcising demons in Guili Plains, this young Adepti's name is quite well-known in Liyue, and many people have witnessed his deeds.

His Guyun Domain's methods of exorcising demons and monsters can be described as aboveboard and honorable.

Xiao is a demon-slaying monster, but what about Bai Ye, who is with him?

Venti and Kazuha turned their gaze toward Bai Ye.

"I'll come and help Xiao," Bai Ye replied to the two of them.

"You'll be my helper?"

Kazuha was somewhat surprised.

He had heard many stories from sailors from Liyue about the young immortal Adepti during his Southern Yaksha Northland Bank. If he always fought demons and monsters alone, when did he suddenly have a helper?

"Yes, that's right." Xiao nodded.

At this moment, Xiao frowned. The karmic obstacles within his body were tormenting him.

In such situations, he usually has no choice but to rely on his willpower to persevere.

Venti glanced at him and prepared to take out her flute.

If I can lend a hand, I will...

Venti was about to pick up her flute to play when she saw Bai Ye waving and placing her hand on Xiao's shoulder.

When the karmic retribution of the Yaksha manifests, do not disturb him or agitate him!

Venti wanted to speak up and remind Bai Ye, but at that moment he discovered that the karmic obstacles on Xiao's body were now flowing down Bai Ye's arm and into Bai Ye's body.

As the karmic burden lessened, the pained expression on Xiao's face gradually disappeared. However, Venti was even more nervous. The Yaksha's body could still bear the karmic burden, but if a human were to bear it, he estimated that they would instantly go insane.

His gaze was fixed on Bai Ye.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

Bai Ye looked completely satisfied, without raising any questions.

Venti clearly felt the karmic obstacle that had appeared from Xiao's side circle through Bai Ye's body and then disappear.

He was somewhat dumbfounded.

Who is this person?!

They can even harmlessly treat karmic obstacles.

Since this guy can absorb karmic obstacles, can he also absorb the Archon Residue?

Venti knew all too well how troublesome the Archon Residue were. The Archon War in Mondstadt was actually one of the least intense battles between Gods; the North Wind Wolf King voluntarily relinquished his power, merging it with the earth, resulting in positive outcomes. But dealing with the Decarabian Decarabian's Archon Remnant had been incredibly taxing on Venti. And now, some remnants remained, forcing him to relocate them to a deserted island.

In Liyue, far too many Gods have fallen; in the past, the only way to compensate was with the lives of Yaksha. Even Morax, the most powerful of the Seven Archons, could not prevent this.

Is it possible that someone can actually eliminate even the Archon Residue?

Venti felt like she wanted to show a surprised expression.

How do you make sashimi?

He asked Bai Ye.

Bai Ye withdrew his hand, looked at the curious Venti and Kazuha, and said, "You must have a natural physique, which allows you to easily absorb the karmic burdens on the Yaksha."

"Then, what about the Archon Residue?"

Kazuha asked Bai Ye.

"That works too."

When asked by Kazuha, Bai Ye answered him.

The Adepti and the Liyue Qixing all knew about his ability, and there was no need to hide it from others.

The key point is that Bai Ye's ability poses no threat whatsoever, and Seven Nations need him, so wouldn't everyone want to protect Bai Ye properly?

This is like someone in the previous life of Bai Ye saying that they could absorb all nuclear pollution; the importance of that is self-evident.

Even the Heavenly Principles should welcome, not resist, Bai Ye's ability.

Upon hearing that Bai Ye possessed such an ability, Venti narrowed her eyes and smiled slightly.

The remnants of the Dekalabian might be able to be resolved. It's just unclear what the situation is with the Abyss, and whether Bai Ye can purify Abyss.

If only the Abyss could be purified...

Kazuha then said to Bai Ye, "If you have the chance, you must go to Inazuma."

Kazuha remembered the evil spirit on Yashiori Island.

After the great serpent Orobas was killed by the Raiden Shogun, the island was completely affected by the power it unleashed before its death.

With the presence of evil spirits, apart from a few plots of land used for battles between the Shogunate Army and the rebels, the rest of Yashiori Island is filled with the Archon Residue, making it impossible for humans to live there. A perfectly good piece of land has become desolate.

If Bai Ye could clear away the Archon Residue, it would create another island in Inazuma that would be extremely suitable for human habitation.

For Inazuma, this was a great opportunity. Neither the Shogunate Army nor the Sangonomiya had any reason to oppose it.

Not to mention that Inazuma is also affected by the Archon Residue in other places. If Bai Ye were to go to Inazuma, it would be of great help to the entire Inazuma.

"If I have the chance, I will go."

Bai Ye nodded in agreement.

There are quite a few Gods on Inazuma's side. If I could obtain the power of Gods, it would obviously greatly enhance my strength.

"What are you all talking about?" Beidou walked up to Bai Ye and the others and asked them.

"We're talking about the Bai Ye ability, the 'Love' ability." Kazuha explained the Bai Ye ability to Beidou.

Upon hearing what Bai Ye said, Beidou gave him a thumbs up.

"Wow, that's impressive! Sure enough, good-looking people are usually quite capable."

"What kind of theory is this?" Kazuha was somewhat puzzled by his ship owner's idea.

Beidou said to Bai Ye, " With Bai Ye's looks, if he didn't have some real strength, do you believe he'd wake up one morning in some woman's bed?"

After joking around, Beidou said seriously to Bai Ye, "Next, when we go to Guyun Domain, do you need our protection? If your abilities are genuine, they are extremely important to the entire Teyvat. It doesn't matter whether we, who make a living on the high seas, go out or not, but if you go out, it will be a huge loss for Teyvat."

"No need. Clearing these things will always involve various dangers. I need to have the ability to protect myself."

Bai Ye refused.

"Oh well."

After Beidou finished speaking, he looked into the distance and said to Bai Ye, "We're about to reach Guyun Domain. Bai Ye and Demon-Queller, you two should prepare to disembark."

"Hmm." Xiao stood up, ready to disembark.

Just then, Venti reached out her hand to Beidou and said:

"Um, I also need to go and check on the situation at Guyun Domain."

"Is this dangerous?"

Kazuha reminded Venti.

"As a bard, my ability to escape is still insufficient," Venti said as she slipped to the side of the boat.

"Hey~"

A gust of wind appeared beneath his feet, and he flew into the air. Then, Wind Glider unfolded behind him, and he flew towards Guyun Domain.

"Hey, this guy."

Beidou shook his head helplessly.

However, Venti wasn't one of her crew members, so it's not appropriate for her to comment.

Seeing this, Bai Ye and Xiao also came to the side of the boat.

Then, wind-force appeared beneath Xiao's feet, and he shot directly towards Guyun Domain. Bai Ye waved his hand, took out a wooden kite, tied it to his wrist, and slowly flew over.

Three dashing young men approached Guyun Domain in three different ways.

Xiao wasn't the first to set off, but he was the first to arrive. He quickly reached the Guyun Domain, and upon seeing the demons beginning to be affected by the Archon Residue, he immediately began a massacre.

"The Demon-Quelling Dance!"

A mask appeared on his face, and he gripped a spear and began a killing spree.

Whether it's the Abyss Mage or the Hilichurl King, they have almost no chance to fight back against Xiao.

Venti was the second person to arrive at Guyun Domain.

Seeing Xiao begin his rampage, the immediate reaction was...

They found a place to hide.

I am but a pitiful and helpless bard, how could I possibly be a warrior!

After hiding, he also took out a bottle of fine wine from his pocket.

"In the end, I still managed to get the rice cake."

Venti said with a smile.

Bai Ye was the last to slowly fly over. By the time he arrived, Xiao had already killed all the monsters in front of him, and the beach was littered with monster corpses.

On the monster's corpse, Bai Ye could clearly see the Archon Residue.

Xiao turned around and saw Bai Ye, saying to him, "Next, it's up to you, Bai Ye."

Without Bai Ye, I would have to absorb and bear all these energies on my own.

"Um."

Bai Ye nodded, then reached out to absorb the aura of the demon Archon Residue's corpse.

The corpses of these monsters didn't have much aura left, and Bai Ye easily absorbed it all.

Venti saw this and then stepped out.

"Impressive! I'll stay behind you guys during the next operation at Guyun Domain."

He smiled and said to Bai Ye and Xiao.

Venti is certain that Bai Ye has the ability to cleanse the Archon Residue, and he needs to find a way to get him to Mondstadt.

As for the reason...

You are, after all, the holder of the Genshin Eye. Although I didn't issue the Genshin Eye, you should still go and check the Anemo Archon's status.

If all else fails, ask the old man for help.

We're friends with thousands of people, there must be some friendship between us, right? If I ask someone to help me, they'll definitely help me out!

Venti thought to herself.
