It felt like a blink of an eye, yet also like a very, very long time.

Bai Ye and the others felt flashes of light around them, and heard sounds of fighting all around them.

The sounds of people calling out, roaring, hacking and slashing, crying out in pain, the clanging of weapons, and calls for help rose and fell; in addition, there were even more deafening roars of monsters.

This is the battlefield of Liyue 500 years ago.

At the time, to prevent the Khaenri'ah from invading Liyue Harbor, the Millelith set up a defensive line at the Chasm. Even with heavy casualties, it was difficult to completely stop the Khaenri'ah beasts from breaking through the defenses. But at this time, the Millelith and others resisting the Khaenri'ah discovered that underground palace.

They knew that this underground palace was isolated from the outside world.

So, Boyang, the ancestor of Yelan, and Fushé, the Yaksha who was also there at the time, led a group of Millelith to lure the ferocious beasts of Khaenri'ah into this underground palace, ultimately making it impossible for either side to leave.

At that time, this underground palace space already showed its special characteristics. The injuries and fatigue suffered by the Millelith and the Fushé were greatly reduced, while the ferocious beasts of Khaenri'ah did not receive such treatment.

So after the beasts were finally defeated, many soldiers of the Millelith and Boyang Fushé remained here.

There is no way to get out of this area anymore.

Slowly but surely, the soldiers of the Millelith vanished from this underground palace. Fushé and Boyang were the last to hold out, but unfortunately, in this palace, surviving long was not a cause for celebration. On the contrary, it was the longest and most agonizing ordeal.

Of course, the events that were about to happen when Bai Ye and the others crossed over to this place were still far from over.

Judging from the roars of the ferocious beasts and the shouts of the Millelith soldiers, Bai Ye knew that the Millelith had just lured the ferocious beasts from Khaenri'ah into the Thousand Rock Underground Palace.

"Let's not delay, let's get started."

Bai Ye looked around and spoke to the others.

This area certainly gave the Millelith soldiers a significant advantage. However, this advantage did not mean there would be no casualties.

"Um."

Xiao was the first to react. He saw a Millelith soldier being pinned down by an Entombed Beast Hound. He immediately rushed in front of the soldier and thrust his spear, pinning the Entombed Beast Hound to the wall.

The soldiers of the Millelith stood up.

"Thanks..."

Just as he was about to express his gratitude, he saw what Xiao looked like.

His expression was one of astonishment.

"Demon-Queller Demons, what brings you here? Isn't only Lord Yaksha here?"

He said to Xiao.

"It's a long story, you should hide for a while. I'm here to lead you out of here."

As Xiao spoke, he saw another Entombed Beast Hound about to harm the humans, and he immediately rushed over.

Behind them, the rescued Millelith soldier saw Xiao's actions and a hint of anticipation appeared on his face.

He wasn't afraid of death; when he entered the underground palace, he knew their fate was to die there. But now that he had a chance to survive, he naturally wanted to see the outside world.

While Xiao began his massacre of the Entombed Beast Hound, the others were not idle either.

When Yelan saw a person casting spells facing five ferocious beasts alone, her eyes immediately narrowed.

"He must be my ancestor Boyang."

This is a family-inherited technique, and in this generation, apart from another ancestor, Rong Zhao, who lives outside, only Boyang knows how to use it in the underground palace.

Just as she was speaking, Hu Tao had already come to Bo Boyang's side.

The Adeptal Art activated the elemental power of the Genshin Eye, instantly unleashing a fiery aura upon the Entombed Beast Hound. Then, Hu Tao swiftly drew her spear, slaying all the Entombed Beast Hound surrounding Boyang.

After all, Hu Tao was personally taught skills by Zhongli, so her martial arts skills are quite high.

Seeing that he was out of danger, Boyang breathed a sigh of relief. Then, when he saw Hu Tao, he immediately frowned.

"Whose child are you? Why are you here? Who sent you?"

The Millelith soldiers who entered this place all had families and no worries about their families' livelihoods. Of course, some didn't meet the requirements and sneaked in, but Boyang never expected that there would be such a young child here.

She's only fourteen or fifteen years old!

"I... sigh..."

Boyang looked melancholy.

There is no way to leave here.

She has no choice but to stay here.

"Don't be so discouraged." Seeing Boyang's expression, Hu Tao smiled and said, "I came here to take you away."

"Leave?"

Boyang was taken aback.

Bai Ye and the others also came over.

As he walked, Bai Ye continued to shoot at the Entombed Beast Hound with his Handheld Crossbow.

The crossbow bolts, imbued with Anemo Element, were incredibly fast, easily piercing the bodies of the Entombed Beast Hound.

When Boyang saw Bai Ye and the others walking over, his face became even more dejected.

He stomped his foot angrily. "What are you, you children, doing here? Aren't you just making a scene? I..."

"But the fighting power of us young girls is much higher than yours."

Bai Ye said to Boyang.

Then, he drew his Heavenly Principles' Sword and charged directly into the pack of Entombed Beast Hound.

Soon,

The surrounding Entombed Beast Hound were all cleared out.

Seeing Bai Ye's formidable fighting prowess, Boyang showed no joy whatsoever. Such a young man, with such strength, proved his exceptional talent.

Such an outstanding person should dedicate themselves to the development of Liyue Harbor in the battle against the enemy.

I cannot die here.

The others were also young men and women in the prime of their youth; apart from a woman in her twenties, the others were girls aged thirteen or fourteen.

How did they end up here?

Just as he was thinking this, another Entombed Beast Hound suddenly appeared beside him, opening its mouth wide and biting at him.

However, at this moment, Yelan made her move. She stretched out her hand and waved it, and strands of silk wrapped around the Entombed Beast Hound. After binding it, Yelan made another gesture and released a spell that hit the Entombed Beast Hound.

The Entombed Beast Hound howled once and then disappeared.

"You, what are you doing..."

"Hey, do you know who I am?" Seeing the surprised look on Boyang's face, Hu Tao asked him with a smile.

"Who are you?"

Clearing her throat and glancing at Yelan, Hu Tao didn't dare to puff out her chest. She then introduced herself, "I am the 77th Director of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor."

"The 77th generation hall master? But isn't the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor just at its 50th generation? Even if the old hall master passed away, he should be the 51st generation!?"

Boyang holds a high position in Liyue Harbor, so he naturally knows the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor. However, isn't the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor just the fiftieth generation? Besides, he knows the family of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, but there's no such person there!

Xiangling, on the other hand, was very honest and explained to Boyang, "Well, Mr. Boyang, we came from 500."

"Five hundred years ago?"

Boyang was taken aback.

"Yes, we came from 500 people."

Bai Ye had already dealt with the Entombed Beast Hound he could see. He stood beside the others and said to Boyang.

"And her?"

Boyang pointed at Yelan.

"She is your descendant."

Bai Ye explained.

Hearing Bai Ye say this, Boyang was still somewhat skeptical.

After all, the idea of traveling through 500 miles is still hard for most people to accept.

He even wondered if these young people were suffering from a condition called 'chuunibyou' that had recently become popular in Liyue Harbor.

However, Xiao then came over from the side, causing Boyang to instantly change his attitude.

"The Demon-Queller?"

He said in surprise.

"It's me."

Xiao nodded slightly.

"Weren't you following the Geo Archon? How did you end up here?"

Boyang said in surprise.

"That was me at this time. And the me now is me from 200 years later."

Xiao said calmly.

Young boys and girls may lie, but Boyang knew that Xiao Na would never lie easily.

So they really are from 1000 years ago?

And that woman...

Boyang looked at Yelan.

She really is my descendant.

Looking at Yelan like this.

A feeling of joy welled up inside him.

Her appearance and abilities prove that she is living a good life.

My descendants seem to be doing quite well.

Boyang was completely satisfied.

He wanted to ask what Liyue Harbor would look like after 100 years, and at that moment Xiao asked Boyang, "Um, I want to know where the Yaksha who came with you is."

"Are you looking for that Yaksha- sama?"

"Yes, he is my elder brother Fushé."

Xiao nodded and said.

Boyang asked in surprise, "Then, is that Lord Fushé?"

Years ago, Boyang only learned of Fushé's identity after he and Fushé were left alone. Now, Boyang is still unaware of Fushé's Fushé, and upon hearing Xiao reveal it, he is utterly astonished.

This is none other than Fushé, the most renowned Marshal of the Yaksha clan under the Geo Archon's command.

"Yes."

Xiao nodded.

"Lord Fushé, he's in that area ahead. Because his mental state isn't quite right right right now."

After thinking for a moment, Boyang used the phrase 'something's not quite right' to describe it.

"We dare not make contact with him. We can only let him fight a group of beasts from Khaenri'ah by himself."

"Um."

Xiao nodded.

He brandished his spear and looked at Bai Ye, saying, "Bai Ye, we still need you this time."

Xiao had always tried to avoid troubling Bai Ye, but now not only did he need Bai Ye's help when he arrived here a year ago, he also needed Bai Ye's help to rescue Fushé.

"Hey, remember to treat me to apricot tofu when you get back to Hey."

Bai Ye followed Xiao Guo.

Immediately, two mechanical arms appeared behind him.

"He... he can actually fight alongside the Demon-Queller. Who... who is he?"

"He's Guest Official of our Wangsheng Funeral Parlor," Hu Tao replied with a smile when she heard Boyang say this.

Then,

I added a few other small details.

"There are also the disciples of the Gods Guizhong Dust, the envoys of Liyue on our side, who saved the Inazuma Thunder God, the people protected by the Anemo Archon, and the spiritual faith of the Inazuma Watatsumi Island."

Boyang: "..."

As they walked, Bai Ye instructed the others, "Hu Tao, you guys take care of the other Khaenri'ah beasts over here. Remember, safety first."

"Okay."

Hu Tao gently swung her gun, killing two more Entombed Beast Hound.

The others, not wanting to be left behind, also began to hunt down the remaining Entombed Beast Hound.

Bai Ye and Xiao moved swiftly and soon arrived at the place Boyang had mentioned.

At this moment, there are countless Entombed Beast Hound here.

Among these Entombed Beast Hound, a dark figure was weaving back and forth.

As the shadowy figure moved about, flashes of lightning occasionally streaked across the sky. And after each flash of lightning, the Entombed Beast Hound fell one after another.

"That's Fushé. Among us Yaksha, he's most skilled in assassination techniques. Be very careful of his assassination techniques later."

Xiao explained to Bai Ye.

"Okay." Bai Ye nodded, then said to Xiao, "Next, we'll start the operation. I'll hold off Fushé and restore him. You, on the other hand, will deal with those Entombed Beast Hound."

These Entombed Beast Hound carry the aura of Khaenri'ah and the Abyss, an aura that triggers the madness within Fushé's body.

This needs to be dealt with as soon as possible.

Xiao charged swiftly toward the beasts.

"The Demon-Quelling Dance!"

The Anemo Element gathered, and Xiao gathered the beasts together before slamming his spear down heavily.

Kill--

The karmic burdens within him had been completely absorbed by Bai Ye, so he could now unleash his power without any reservations when facing the beasts from Khaenri'ah.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Bai Ye also got closer to Fushé.

At this moment, Fushé has been completely affected by karmic obstacles and has lost his reason.

After dealing with the surrounding beasts, he looked at Bai Ye.

In his vision, Bai Ye's body contained the most energy, making him an extremely dangerous enemy.

Fushé shadow flashed and rushed towards Bai Ye.

Bai Ye watched as Fushé approached and gently raised the mechanical arm.

"I'm least afraid of assassins."

Gods's power activated - Seven Senses stripped away.

The Fushé boat stopped moving immediately.

The most important thing in assassination is clear vision; the enemy is in the shadows while I am in the dark.

However, Bai Ye directly stripped away all Seven Senses.

How can you carry out assassinations now?

The most troublesome class for those who have their Seven Senses deprived is the incredibly tanky type, because even if you deprive them of their senses, they can't do any damage. The most comfortable class to fight is the assassin.

After having his Seven Senses stripped away, Fushé was immediately bewildered and at a loss.

He could only wave his arms wildly to the side, occasionally unleashing lightning.

Bai Ye walked behind him, and two mechanical arms gripped Fushé's four arms tightly.

The power of strength is activated.

Hold onto the Fushé tightly.

Then, Bai Ye pressed down on Fushé's body.

Absorption of karmic obstacles.

Bai Ye began to absorb the karmic obstacles on Fushé's body into his own.

Visibly, the thick black aura around Fushé disappeared.

And Fushé gradually stopped struggling.

Seeing that the karmic obstacles in Fushé's body had disappeared, Bai Ye finally released the Seven Senses from Fushé's body.

"Next, we just have to wait for him to wake up."

He thought to himself.
