At that moment, Xiao discovered to his astonished delight that the Karmic Debt that had plagued him for so many long years had completely dissolved, all because he had performed a bizarre dance?
"The Karmic Debt... it's gone..."
"Is this real?"
"I..."
Xiao was truly questioning everything now, but he felt as though his body had shed a crushingly heavy set of shackles. His whole body felt so light that he could have floated away!
"It's real. Surprised? Didn't see that coming, did you?"
Theresa toyed with the taint of Karmic Debt she had extracted from Xiao, then casually purified it. As she was now, she could effortlessly remove these conditions that resembled negative buffs.
"Words cannot express my gratitude for such a great kindness! If there is anything you need me to do, just say the word. So long as it does not involve harming the innocent or committing atrocities, I will not hesitate!"
After repeatedly confirming that the Karmic Debt within him really was gone, Xiao cupped his fist toward Theresa and spoke with astonished delight and immense gratitude.
"Really?"
"Then how about taking us to meet the Geo Archon?"
Theresa smiled as she spoke to Xiao through a voice transmission. She knew that most people in Liyue believed the Geo Archon really was dead. Only a handful of adepti, along with Xiao, Lumine, Paimon, and the others, knew that the Geo Archon had become Zhong Li and retired to a life of wandering the streets.
His aim was to let the people of Liyue break free of his influence and usher in a civilization of their own.
Zhong Li had also instructed the adepti to avoid interfering in the people's affairs as much as possible, so that the people would stop depending on them and become self-reliant.
