The Emperor is Harm, the Entire Scene is Locked Down!

"The Rite of Descension is about to begin! Quick, let's go take a look!"

Hearing that loud shout, the Emergency Food immediately looked quite interested. With a cheeky grin, she took the lead and dashed off.

Lumine paused, glancing at Bi Ji beside her. The latter smiled and said, "Let's go, we should take a look too!"

The two hurried over, but to their surprise, they were a step too late; the area was already packed three layers deep.

"Traveler, let's move a bit further forward. We can't see anything from out here."

"Alright!"

After some maneuvering, Lumine and the Emergency Food finally squeezed into the very front row.

In the center of the square.

Ningguang wore a solemn expression. After checking the sky and confirming the auspicious hour, she let out a long breath, and rock and soil began to churn around her.

The Geo elements began to roil and boil, forming stones around her body. With a wave of her hand, they shot instantly toward the central incense burner she was pointing at.

In an instant.

The incense burner began to vibrate. A moment later, golden light flared, and a pillar of golden radiance surged into the sky, blooming directly above.

A short while later.

The previously clear, cloudless sky began to dim, as if the entire Liyue Harbor had plunged into the middle of the night, with the moon bright and stars sparse.

At the same time, a blue tornado churned and rolled in the sky.

Seeing this, Ningguang's expression froze. Clearly, this scene was beyond her expectations; she had never anticipated such a situation.

And in the very next moment.

A thick, black smoke suddenly rose in the sky, moving at an incredible speed to shroud the blue tornado and even swallow the golden light that had been piercing the heavens.

"Hm?"

At this sight, not only was Ningguang stunned, but everyone present was taken aback.

Some were attending the Rite of Descension for the first time, while others had participated many times before. Yet, even those who had witnessed the ceremony repeatedly had never seen such a spectacle.

"What... what is going on?"

Seeing the black fog, even those who were there for the first time felt a deep sense of unease.

Especially!

Tianfeng Douluo, who was hiding in the crowd, was also feeling bewildered, "Why does this feel like something is wrong?"

As he muttered to himself.

Suddenly, a loud boom echoed from the sky.

A massive black shadow plummeted from above, crashing straight onto the offering altar and smashing the golden incense burner into pieces!

"BOOM!"

The heavy impact of the giant shadow kicked up a massive cloud of dust and debris, causing an uproar throughout the crowd!

"What... what is that thing?"

"Isn't this supposed to be the Rite of Descension? How did... something just fall out of the sky?"

"Wait, look! That looks like... a dragon!"

On the Douluo Continent, many creatures gasped as the dust settled and the figure was revealed. "My heavens, it's a giant dragon!"

Star Dou Great Forest, Forbidden Zone.

Di Tian's eyes widened like copper bells. Beside him, Zi Ji was also visibly shocked. "Beast God, this is..."

"Is it the Mountain Dragon King?"

The Beast God Di Tian did not speak, silently chanting in his heart, Lord?

"I see it."

Likewise, the Silver Dragon King in the Silver Dragon Space was startled, but she soon shook her head slightly. "It shouldn't be the Mountain Dragon King..."

"Then this is..."

"Unclear."

The Silver Dragon King spoke plainly, "This is only a projection on a light screen. I cannot sense its aura, so I cannot determine if it is of the Dragon Clan."

Hearing this, the Beast God Di Tian took a deep breath, his heart racing and his hands trembling.

How many years had it been? How many years...

He had finally found a new dragon!

Even if it was in another world!

But, in Di Tian's eyes, as long as it was of the Dragon Clan, it belonged to the same lineage!

"Beast God, something seems wrong!"

Just as Di Tian was lost in these thoughts, Zi Ji suddenly exclaimed from beside him.

"Hmm?"

Di Tian was taken aback. He snapped out of his thoughts and looked at Zi Ji beside him. "What is it?"

"This looks like... a dragon corpse!"

A dragon corpse?

Di Tian froze, then abruptly looked up.

However, before he could even see the light screen, a sharp, stern voice rang out from within it!

"The Geo Archon has been murdered! Seal off the entire area!"

After crouching down to examine the dragon corpse, Ningguang's expression shifted violently. She turned back, waved her hand, and shouted sharply.

"Millelith!"

In an instant!

A large number of Millelith soldiers, weapons in hand, charged out from the archway and secured the entire area in the blink of an eye.

"No way, this is..."

"Good heavens, what is going on?!"

"What happened?"

"What is the meaning of this?"

Emergency Food was also stunned. "Th-this, what is going on?"

"She said the Geo Archon was murdered..."

"Could it be that the Geo Archon... is dead?"

Beside them, Bi Ji's pupils trembled, her wide-eyed shock as vivid as a startled goose.

Likewise!

Every other participant who had come to attend the Rite of Descension was trembling with shock, every single one of them.

This included Chen Fan, who was standing in the crowd.

He had changed into ordinary Liyue attire, making him unremarkable in such a large crowd; he looked just like everyone else.

Previously, Lumine had been searching for people based on their clothing, and since her vantage point wasn't very high, she naturally couldn't take in everyone's face.

Next, I'll just wait for Lumine to cause some trouble.

Chen Fan held Qiqi and thought silently, Though... those whose clothing stands out so much will definitely be the primary focus of the Millelith.

Perhaps Lumine won't even need to stir up any trouble herself.

After a night of repairing her spiritual sea, Qiqi's dull eyes had regained a glimmer of vitality, though the instability of her spiritual sea had lasted too long for her to fully adapt yet.

The reason she was following Chen Fan now was that his spiritual power had mended her spiritual sea, making her feel a sense of affinity toward him, which caused her to instinctively stay close.

Once she adapted, she would no longer suffer from her forgetfulness.

This was the limit of what Chen Fan could do under the current circumstances.

Just as he was thinking this, Chen Fan suddenly saw Bi Ji's path being blocked, as if she were being interrogated.

Seeming to sense Chen Fan's gaze, Bi Ji instinctively looked back, her eyes lighting up instantly. "This is my husband, and that is my child. We are a family of three here to watch the Rite of Descension!"

The two Millelith soldiers: "?"

They were stunned, instinctively turning to look at Chen Fan and Qiqi.

Fortunately, Chen Fan had the foresight yesterday to change Qiqi out of her original attire, and at this moment, she was buried in his arms, so one couldn't see the talisman on her forehead at first glance.

Thus, the two Millelith soldiers looked at each other, hesitating.

But just then!

A loud explosion erupted outside, instantly drawing the attention of a large number of Millelith soldiers!

"Look over there, there's a situation!"
