Who are you?

Only after Bai Ye arrived beside them did the members of the Fatui notice Bai Ye and his group. Upon seeing Bai Ye, the Fatui immediately stood up, picked up their weapons, and assumed a defensive posture.

However, seeing that everyone except Kuki Shinobu was of boy or girl size, and even Kuki Shinobu was just a rather thin girl, the Fatui relaxed their guard a little.

What are you doing here?

The leader, Hammer Bro, asked Bai Ye.

Before Bai Ye could answer, Hammer Bro continued, "This place is very dangerous. I don't know how you guys got into the Chasm. You need to get out of here right now."

As he said this, he planned to continue to physically drive these people away.

However, just as he was about to make a move, Hu Tao dodged and placed the tip of his gun on Lei Hammer Bro's shoulder.

This...

Her actions caught the Fatui in the arena completely off guard, leaving them no time to react.

Seeing their leader subdued, the Fatui were stunned for a moment before turning their attention to Bai Ye, intending to capture hostages in exchange for their leader.

After the thud

Bai Ye pulled out Handheld Crossbow and instantly pinned one of the Fatui to the ground.

Xiangling swung her spear and sent another Fatui flying.

Yanfei picked up the law book, and flames erupted around a musketeer.

Even Kuki Shinobu used his skills to defeat a Fatui.

At this moment, a Debt Collector from the Fatui was lurking behind the group, ready to strike a fatal blow when Bai Ye and the others made a mistake.

But before he could move, he saw a teddy bear staring at him.

Is this a combination?

As the Debt Collector was thinking this, Guoba opened its mouth.

A burst of intense flames shot towards the Debt Collector.

Finally, the Debt Collector saw the bear that had stepped on his feet and couldn't help but look surprised.

No, it's one thing if other people can't beat kids.

But why can't I even beat a teddy bear?

This is so illogical!

Thinking this, he collapsed to the ground.

"Now you can have a good chat with us, right? Don't worry, since you have no ill intentions towards us, then I won't have any ill intentions towards you either," Bai Ye said to Hammer Bro.

Hammer Bro paused for a moment, then nodded.

"Good."

After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but ask, "By the way, what did the people outside the Chasm discover?"

"Yes, Liyue has caused chaos. Now, all the Fatui in Liyue, except for you people from the bottom of the Chasm, have been captured or expelled."

"I understand."

Hammer Bro nodded.

Bai Ye pressed further, "What do you plan to do?"

"We still intend to stay here and uphold our duty. However, we are now your prisoners, and we have no way to resist whatever you intend to do."

"I'm not from the Millelith, so this isn't my business," Bai Ye waved his hand.

However, he planned to take these Fatui with him after he left.

They are all good warriors, and they are not currently hostile to each other, so we must protect their strength.

He asked Hammer Bro, "We're here to find someone. Did you see this person when you were in the Chasm?"

Bai Ye described Yelan's appearance to Hammer Bro in detail.

"A woman with short blue hair..."

The group pondered.

At this moment, the Debt Collector clapped his hands.

"I think I have a clue. When I was patrolling along the planned route that time, I think I saw that woman heading into the depths of this the Chasm. But I don't know anything else."

"Can you take us there?"

Bai Ye asked the Debt Collector.

"I..." The Debt Collector originally thought that the place was too dangerous and he didn't want to go, but after seeing Guoba raising his fist, the Debt Collector immediately backed down.

"I'll go with you, I'll go with you right away."

He said quickly.

"Yes, don't worry, we're not demons. Just lead us deeper in."

Bai Ye said to him.

"Uh-huh."

The Debt Collector nodded quickly.

Seeing the Debt Collector nod in agreement, Hammer Bro was furious, but there was nothing he could do. He could only let Bai Ye leave with the Debt Collector.

With the help of the Debt Collector, Bai Ye and the others' actions became much easier.

It can only be said that the Fatui are indeed worthy of being called; as long as it is Teyvat, there is no place without the Fatui.

Following various secret paths, Bai Ye and the others quickly headed deeper into the Chasm.

As they reached the depths, the Debt Collector looked at Bai Ye with excitement in his eyes.

Finally, we reached the finish line.

It's finally time for you to let me go!

Just as the Debt Collector was about to rejoice, a dark gunshot suddenly appeared from the darkness and attacked him.

The Debt Collector looked bewildered, seemingly not expecting someone to launch a covert attack at this crucial moment.

Fortunately, although the Debt Collector didn't notice this, Bai Ye had already reacted. He stretched out his hand, Genshin Eye on the back of his hand lit up, forming an Anemo Element shield to block the attack from the dark figure.

Bai Ye grabbed the Debt Collector and threw him aside, then the Heavenly Principles' Sword appeared in his hand and attacked the shadowy figure.

Swish swish swish —

The three swords of Bai Ye forced the shadowy figure back.

Only then did he realize who the shadowy figure was.

It's the Black Serpent Knight.

The former royal guards of Khaenri'ah are now terrifying monsters in this the Chasm.

Upon seeing the longsword in Bai Ye's hand, the Black Serpent Knight seemed even more enraged.

The Black Serpent Knight charged forward.

Bai Ye immediately swiftly swung his sword, deflecting the Black Serpent Knight's spear and piercing the Black Serpent Knight's chest with his own.

"Ah!"

The Black Serpent Knight only had time to let out a scream before collapsing to the ground.

"Thank you, thank you."

Still in shock, the Debt Collector, panting heavily, thanked Bai Ye.

"No, I brought you here because I'm responsible for your safety."

Bai Ye waved his hand and said.

At the same time, his gaze fell upon the Black Serpent Knight lying on the ground.

This guy...

Bai Ye gently stroked the armor.

He did not have the ability to cleanse the Black Serpent Knight, after all, the curse on the Khaenri'ah did not originate from the Abyss.

Looking at the black snake again, Bai Ye prepared to set off.

He prepared to retract the Heavenly Principles' Sword in his hand back into his body.

At that moment, Bai Ye clearly sensed several figures rapidly attacking him from all around.

Bai Ye held his breath and stared intently at the person approaching.

They were all dressed in black armor and black clothes, like Black Serpent Knight.

Upon seeing Bai Ye, it was as if they had encountered a blood feud or a formidable enemy, and they attacked Bai Ye's direction.

Bai Ye thought it through clearly.

"What are these guys up to?"

Hu Tao then made another move.

Seven or eight Black Serpent Knight arrived.

The number seems quite large, but compared to Bai Ye and the others, the gap is far too great.

These Black Serpent Knight were stronger than the Fatui, but not by much.

It was almost a one-sided battle.

The Black Serpent Knight were all defeated.

"Why are these guys hostile to us?" Hu Tao asked, looking at the corpses of the Black Serpent Knight on the ground.

"They probably saw the longsword in my hand."

Bai Ye sheathed the longsword in his hand.

That was the Heavenly Principles Principle Longsword, the very culprit who cursed them into this state.

Therefore, when the Black Serpent Knight saw Bai Ye's situation, they all rushed forward on their own.

Bai Ye was puzzled. Weren't these Black Serpent Knight supposed to be scattered throughout the Chasm? Why were they all gathered together now?

This made Bai Ye suspect that there was some conspiracy, but he didn't know who could have done it.

Deep within the Chasm,

The blond youth, slightly taller than Bai Ye, held a white hibiscus flower in his hand.

This is Kong, the elder brother of the traveler Ying and the 'Prince' of the Abyss Order.

At this moment, several tall and thin figures appeared in front of him.

"Prince Highness, our original intention was to use the Black Serpent Knight to test his skills, or perhaps to see if he possessed any items given to him by the Seven Archons. But... he is..."

His figure and tone were slightly panicked and filled with hatred.

"What's unusual about him?"

Kong asked him.

"The long sword in his hand was given to him by the Heavenly Principles Maintainer."

"What did you say?"

His eyes were sharp.

Those Heavenly Principles Maintainer are his enemies.

If it weren't for Xu Wei stopping her back then, he and his younger sister would have already left.

Recently, his younger sister has been getting close to Bai Ye, who carries the sword of the Heavenly Principles Maintainer, which makes him extremely worried about his sister's safety.

I hope my younger sister won't be in any danger.

He even considered ordering the Abyss Order and Bai Ye to attack, but he had the rationality to stop himself.

The fact that Bai Ye and Ying have been in contact for so long without any results proves that the Heavenly Principles Maintainer currently has no intention of harming his sister.

It's not that she can't take action, it's that she doesn't want to.

If I were to provoke those Heavenly Principles Maintainer in this way, I would be in great danger.

Currently, his and the Abyss Order's strength is far from comparable to that of the Heavenly Principles Maintainer, and they are simply unable to protect their sister.

"Since we can't take action against him, we might as well change our approach."

He muttered to himself.

If we can't hurt Bai Ye, then let's try a different approach.

He turned Bai Ye into someone who would protect his younger sister.

Take advantage of this time to have him help protect his younger sister.

Moreover, when Sora gives other men around, he always worries that they might do something bad to his younger sister, but when he lets Bai Ye get close to his younger sister, Sora is not worried at all.

Bai Ye is too inexperienced.

"However, if I have the chance, I'll still try to get in touch with Bai Ye."

Kong thought to himself.

Within this the Chasm, he can do far more than in the outside world.

It shouldn't be too difficult to find an opportunity to meet with Bai Ye and test the waters.

"Have you found out why they came here?"

Kong asked his subordinate.

"They've come looking for the woman who was in trouble before."

"Hmm..." Kong pondered for a moment, then raised his hand and commanded:

"Give them directions so they can find their target."

"Yes, Prince Highness."

Is Your Prince planning to trap them in that space and kill them?

I understand now.

"This is what the Abyssal Apostle thought to himself."

As a member of the Abyss Order, he could be said to have extreme aversion to Bai Ye, who could purify the Abyss's power.

However, these people have more contact with the power of the Abyss than the Abyss Mage, so when they see Bai Ye, they are completely suppressed.

It's a testament to their agility that they weren't instantly killed.

He just stared at him without explaining.

It would be too difficult to confine Bai Ye within that space.

Unfortunately, they didn't go in either, otherwise they would have liked to see how Bai Ye behaved in that space.
