What the heck is a Joyous Emanator of the Aeon?

Xianyun was panting heavily.

"Who exactly are you people? And who were those guys just now?"

"Does anyone know what's going on? Someone come quickly and explain this to me!"

Xianyun was furious. The fight was over, and he was still completely bewildered.

The current situation is completely chaotic for Xianyun.

"I know, I know!"

"These people are the Fatui from Snezhnaya! And we've come to take you to Liyue Harbor for the Emperor's funeral!"

Upon hearing Xianyun speak, Hu Tao immediately ran to Xianyun's side and said something.

"Snezhnaya? Fatui? Never heard of that."

"Wait, who did you just say died?"

Xianyun listened to Hu Tao's words, but at first he didn't understand what she was saying.

By the time she realized what was happening, her eyes were already wide open in disbelief.

"Your Majesty," Hu Tao said honestly.

"The Emperor is dead? Are you sure?"

"I'm not entirely sure, since I've never seen the Emperor's body, but I've heard everyone say that the Emperor is dead."

"You all agree, right?"

Hu Tao then turned her head and asked Zhongli and Paimon, who were standing to the side.

"That's right, the Rex Lapis fell from the sky and died during the Rite of Descension. This is now a well-known fact throughout Liyue."

Zhongli said calmly.

Now, Xianyun was even more dumbfounded.

This expression is basically the same as that of the Mountain Shaper before.

"The Emperor is dead? Then who is this in front of me? A ghost?"

Even the Mountain Shaper had to look at Zhongli for a long time, but Xianyun recognized Zhongli after just one glance.

To be honest, with Zhongli dressed like this, apart from Ganyu not recognizing him, which Adepti wouldn't recognize who Zhongli is?

Even the Azhdaha, after so many years apart, still recognized Zhongli at a glance.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing? How could you die? Is this for real?"

Xianyun couldn't quite figure out what her boss was thinking.

What? Do you expect them to come to your funeral after you die? That's a bit too much, isn't it?

"Let's not talk about it now, let's wait until the other two arrive before we talk about it."

Zhongli was also a little tired at this point.

He realized that his original plan had been completely ruined.

If I don't quickly explain things to these old buddies, they might start to suspect that I've Erosion myself out so much that I've gone mad.

Even he is a little unsure what to do in this situation.

The La Signora was also laid down, and the Childe was arrested.

The Fatui' plan hasn't even started yet, and most of them have already been captured. That's quite something.

Although the Fatui still has one Harbinger left, Zhongli no longer believes that guy can do anything big.

After all, with Mo Wang causing trouble here, no matter how many plans you come up with, it's completely useless.

It would be better to explain things properly to these people and see how things go later.

However, as soon as Zhongli said this, Xianyun was stunned.

"Huh? Your Majesty, you've already informed those two?"

Xianyun stared at Zhongli in disbelief, "How could you do this?!"

"Hmm? I did notify those two to gather here. Is there a problem?"

Zhongli was taken aback by Xianyun's reaction.

Then, looking at Xianyun's body, which was as black as coal, I suddenly understood.

"Oh no! We're doomed!"

Just then, two familiar auras arrived. The Mountain Shaper, who had lost all his hair, landed between Zhongli and Xianyun from the air.

"Hmm? The Ganyu?"

"Lishui Dieshan? What's this?"

The two birds simultaneously posed a large question mark the moment they met.

Meanwhile, Cloud Retainer, who had also arrived, was utterly perplexed by the situation before him.

"What's going on? Who are these two birds that have almost no feathers left?"

As a deer, the Cloud Retainer had only one thought in his mind at this moment.

That is—have I wandered onto the wrong set?

This can't be some kind of comedy skit, right?

Chapter 374: What kind of demon the Joyful Archon Archon?

"Haha, what's gotten into you two today? Why do you look so special? Have you transformed into human form or changed your race?"

Seeing his two old friends, the Cloud Retainer, he almost couldn't help but burst out laughing.

There's no way around it, the scene before me is just too funny.

One turned into a featherless bird, and the other turned into black charcoal.

Anyone who didn't know better would think their house had been bombed.

After laughing for a while, Cloud Retainer discovered that neither of his two old friends, including Zhongli, had laughed.

Instead, it was that cold gaze that pierced his entire body, causing him pain.

"W-what's wrong? Why are you all looking at me like that?"

Moon Carver couldn't help but take a step back. Why did these two guys look at him like they wanted to eat him, no, eat him like a deer?

"Is it funny?"

Do you think this is a joke?

Xianyun and Mountain Shaper coldly stared at Moon Carver before them.

Especially when they see that the other person is completely unharmed, they feel an urge to give them a severe beating first.

Why are we the only two people in such a terrible state, while this guy is completely unharmed?

Where does this sarcastic and cynical personality come from?

"You... you guys really exploded? So those two explosions just now really were from here?"

The Moon Carver Technique couldn't laugh anymore.

So it really exploded?

"If you say another word, I might really beat you up."

Xianyun spoke calmly to Moon Carver in front of him.

However, that chilling killing intent caused Moon Carver to retreat several steps.

Seeing that Xianyun was about to go crazy, Moon Carver didn't hesitate at all and ran directly behind Zhongli to hide.

He was practically screaming, "Master, save me!"

To be honest, it's a bit speechless that this deer, which is almost twice the size of Zhongli, is hiding behind Zhongli like that.

What is the point of something that can't be hidden?

In fact, Zhongli was also quite speechless at this moment.

He never expected that his disciple would be so talented at courting death.

Even though everyone could see how ugly those two looked, they still dared to say that.

The two birds were staring intently at the deer behind Zhongli, creating a rather peculiar scene.

If it weren't for the fact that Hu Tao and the others were currently busy tying up the surrounding Fatui, they would probably be stunned by the situation right now.

"Ahem, alright everyone. Now is not the time for this."

"A huge crisis is brewing in Liyue Harbor right now, and that's why I've called you here."

Seeing this, Zhongli coughed twice in embarrassment, and then addressed the three Adepti present.

"Your Majesty, what exactly happened? What is the connection between the crisis you spoke of and your escape by faking your death?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. What could possibly be so important that it would require you to go to such lengths?"

Upon hearing Zhongli speak, both the Mountain Shaper and the Ganyu ignored the Cloud Retainer behind Zhongli.

Zhongli then began to explain the whole story to the three Adepti.

Meanwhile, having finally gotten rid of the persistent Shenhe, Mo Wang began to accompany Hu Tao in dealing with the Fatui.

Apart from the group that Mo Wang had thrown into the bushes earlier, there were still more than a dozen other members of the Fatui who hadn't escaped.

Including the La Signora, the number has exceeded thirty.

"My God, there are so many people!"

"Are we going to take so many people to find the remaining Adepti?"

To be honest, Hu Tao was a little bewildered looking at the thirty or forty people lying on the ground.

If they were to eliminate so many Fatui, wouldn't they become Fatui Harbinger?

"It seems we'll have to take them all back."

Mo Wang is actually feeling a bit of a headache right now.

How come they came out to challenge the Liyue Adepti, but ended up with so many Fatui?

If we were to actually bring so many people to Wangshu Inn, the scene would be truly breathtaking.

But if I go back, wouldn't my 200,000 Mora be Abyss Flower?

Now all that's missing is Xiao.

When the time comes, I'll just have Zhongli stand there, and that will complete the mission, right?

If Zhongli again next time, the price might increase tenfold.

Just as Mo Wang was struggling with what to do, a group of Liyue soldiers ran up to Mo Wang, panting heavily.

"Finally, finally found it!"

When the Liyue Millelith soldiers ran up, they suddenly found that the atmosphere around them was very strange. Not only were the three Liyue Adepti looking at them with strange eyes, but Mo Wang and Hu Tao were also looking at them.

"What, what's going on?"

The leader of the Millelith swallowed hard, startled by the strange atmosphere. Something seemed amiss!

At this moment, his soldiers hurriedly said, "Boss, something's not right! Why are all three Adepti here? And the way they're looking at us is terrifying!"

"How the hell should I know!" The leader of the Millelith shook his head at this moment.

With his experience, he immediately sensed that something was amiss.

"Well, you bunch of bastards actually ran away and dared to come back?! You even dared to impersonate the Millelith?! Do you think we're fools?!"

At this moment, Paimon looked angrily at the Millelith and stomped his legs in the air several times.

"Pretend?"

Upon hearing Paimon's words, the leader of the Millelith was stunned for a moment. Then, he was horrified to discover that all around him were people dressed in Millelith uniforms lying down, along with a large group of Fatui.

"Broken!"
