The Emperor Lord Is Assassinated—Seal Off the Entire Area!

Suddenly, the Clear Sky abruptly changed color!

Dark Clouds gathered from all directions at incredible speed, instantly blotting out the sunlight.

The formerly peaceful atmosphere became immensely oppressive, replaced by an ominous aura.

Ningguang frowned and looked up at the sky in confusion.

Nothing like this had ever happened in previous years. What was going on today?

Under everyone's astonished gazes, fierce winds rose, forming into the shape of a tornado.

An enormous Dragon Figure radiating brilliant golden light descended from the heavens and crashed into the Incense Burner.

In an instant, the entire Yujing Terrace shook, and the Incense Burner shattered...

Ningguang quickly stepped before the Dragon Figure to inspect it. Her expression was tense, with a trace of concern.

At this moment, she had no idea what had happened.

Below the platform, the crowd began whispering among themselves.

The Blonde Girl and Paimon were at a loss. It seemed something had gone wrong with the Rite of Descension.

Even though it was their first time witnessing the Rite of Descension, they knew the ceremony was not supposed to be like this.

After pondering for a moment, Ningguang hurriedly turned around and cried out.

"Lord Emperor has been assassinated! Seal off the entire area!"

The crowd in the Sky Screen Footage exploded!

This was the Geo Archon! How could he possibly have been assassinated?

Those watching the Sky Screen were equally stunned and looked at it blankly.

"Is this Lord Emperor's True Form?"

"Isn't Lord Emperor still alive and well? How could he have been assassinated?"

"Do you think there's another possibility—that this is footage from the future?"

The Famous Scenes reviewed by the Sky Screen included not only the past and present, but the future as well!

Didn't Tang San and Huo Yuhao make it On the List because of Famous Scenes from the future?

Huo Yuhao had even come from ten thousand years in the future to ten thousand years in the past!

Heaven Dou City, Crown Prince's Mansion.

"Xue Qinghe" wore an expression of utter shock and disbelief.

"He is the Geo Archon, Morax!"

"Who could kill him? Who could hurt him?"

"Xue Qinghe" was full of questions. She simply could not understand what had happened!

When other Demon Gods faced Morax, they either suffered crushing defeat or fled in panic.

Even Demon God-level combatants were no match for Morax. Wasn't this brief, bloodless "assassination" far too hasty?

"Xue Qinghe" stroked her chin thoughtfully.

Star Dou Great Forest.

The Fierce Beasts looked at one another, their mouths slightly open as though they wanted to speak but held back.

"Morax truly is of the Dragon Race. I never expected his ending to be like this."

Di Tian stared at the Sky Screen, a faint smile curling across his lips.

A dragon who helped humans was no good dragon.

The fact that Morax would die in the future was wonderful!

In Di Tian's view, this had to be footage from the future.

Otherwise, how could Morax still be alive?

New Zhongli Residence.

Gu Yuena sat in the Side Seat. She glanced at the Sky Screen before her violet eyes finally settled on Zhongli.

Her visit had gone very smoothly, and she had entered Zhongli Residence without any trouble.

She had met Zhongli, and she had also met the Ruinous Dragon King.

The relationship between those two "people" was even better than she had imagined!

"Morax, you're not planning to use Feigned Death to Abdicate Godhood, are you?"

Holding a cup of wine, the Ruinous Dragon King directly questioned Zhongli.

"What if it really is an assassination?"

Zhongli said impassively.

"Hehe..."

The Ruinous Dragon King laughed and shook his head.

"Don't joke around. You're Morax!"

Zhongli nodded, lifted his cup, and said.

"This can be considered a trial I gave the people of Liyue when I Abdicated Godhood."

Gu Yuena: "..."

She looked at the Ruinous Dragon King, then at Zhongli. Her red lips parted slightly, but she stopped herself from speaking.

Did those two "people" not care at all about her, their "guest"?

"I see."

After hearing the conversation between the two "people," Gu Yuena also learned the "correct answer."

This was not footage from the future.

It was something that had happened in the past.

Looking at the bowls, chopsticks, and wine before her, Gu Yuena ultimately copied Zhongli's posture, picked up her chopsticks, and tasted human food.

It was her first time eating human food. She did not know how to describe the flavor.

After eating a little, she copied the two "people" again and began drinking wine... then became completely unable to stop.

Zhongli and Rottard exchanged a glance and lightly shook their heads.

The Silver Dragon King, as blank as a sheet of paper, was truly too "innocent."

On the Sky Screen.

The Blonde Girl and Paimon exchanged a glance, staring at each other blankly.

The former had been sealed away for too long and had only just become "somewhat familiar with human nature," so she did not panic.

Besides, this was Liyue's problem. What did it have to do with them?

The latter was so frightened that she hid behind the Blonde Girl, speaking incoherently.

"The... the bard?!"

"No, no!"

"The Geo Archon... he... he was actually assassinated!"

Ningguang's cry of "seal off the entire area" instantly ignited the crowd's pent-up panic on Yujing Terrace!

"Ah... Lord Emperor, Lord Emperor was actually assassinated!"

"There's an Assassin! Catch the Assassin!"

Some people had already lost their Reason, trying to find a culprit who did not exist.

The Millelith gripped their spears tightly, forcibly suppressing the shock and grief in their hearts.

"Maintain order! Protect Lady Ningguang!"

The Emperor Lord was gone. At a time like this, they could only protect Tian Quan Ningguang, one of the Liyue Qixing, first.

"Uninvolved personnel, step back! No suspicious individuals may leave!"

Several Millelith simultaneously looked toward the Blonde Girl and Paimon.

Of everyone present, only those two looked utterly out of place, and none of them had ever seen the pair before.

"They must be those two foreigners!"

"Before the ceremony began, they sneakily pushed through the crowd and tried to get close to Lady Ningguang!"

"It must have been them!"

"That's right, it was them! They were right beside him when Lord Emperor fell!"

Upon hearing this.

Paimon trembled in midair.

She hurriedly waved her hands, her voice carrying a sob.

"No, it wasn't us!"

"We just arrived in Liyue! We were only passing by to watch the excitement!"

The Blonde Girl frowned and instinctively shielded Paimon behind her. Paimon was her companion!

She warily looked around. The Millelith's stares made her feel pressured.

They had only just arrived in Liyue. How had they run into something like this?

Standing high above, Ningguang looked toward the Traveler and Paimon, a trace of complexity flashing through her eyes.

"Take them into custody and keep them under strict guard until the truth is uncovered!"

The creatures watching the Sky Screen were utterly astonished.

The Blonde Girl and Paimon had appeared on the Sky Screen many times.

They knew the Geo Archon!

Yet here, it said this was their first time coming to Liyue...

"So that's it!"

There were still many smart people on Douluo Star, and they instantly sorted out the "timeline."

This footage was from before they knew the Geo Archon. In other words, the Geo Archon had not died!

"My, my, it seems something extraordinary has happened here?"

"You two, do you need a little help?"
