Ningguang's Guess Comes True! Night Raid on the Jade Chamber!

"Just because you let him stay in the Jade Chamber, does that mean he'll definitely help you?"

Yelan looked suspiciously at Ningguang before her.

She did not think the Tianquan would hold such a naïve idea.

"At the very least, it can ensure the Jade Chamber's safety."

Ningguang did not answer directly, merely speaking calmly.

She did not know whether it was just her imagination.

She kept feeling her right eyelid twitching, as though something bad was about to happen.

"Fine."

Seeing that Ningguang was unwilling to elaborate, Yelan did not press further and changed the subject. "What do we do now?"

After a pause, she said, "If the adepti decide to put pressure on us, then this matter—"

"I'll handle this matter."

Ningguang cut Yelan off and said solemnly, "Go investigate the origins of those foreigners in strange attire."

"Alright."

Watching Yelan leave, Ningguang sat down wearily in her chair, let out a long breath, and rubbed her temples.

After serving as the Tianquan for so long, this was the first time she had felt the burden on her shoulders to be so heavy—

"How did you know we'd have a place to stay tonight?"

After leading Chen Fan and Bi Ji into a side room, Ganyu did not disturb them further. She informed them briefly before leaving.

Not long after she left, Bi Ji could not help but look at Chen Fan and ask.

"Of course I knew."

"Then why did you know?"

Bi Ji could not figure it out. They had clearly arrived in this world of Teyvat together, so why did Chen Fan always seem to be one step ahead?

However, Chen Fan had never considered telling her and brushed her off. "Of course I knew that!"

Bi Ji, "Right."

Chen Fan paused, then said, "Let me correct that—it's me who has a place to stay tonight."

"What do you mean?"

"Keep watch tonight. If anything happens, call me."

Bi Ji's eyes widened. "You mean you want me to stand watch?"

"What else?"

Bi Ji opened her mouth. Looking at Chen Fan's strange expression, she found herself unable to say anything.

"—Fine!"

Watching Bi Ji leave, Chen Fan rose and looked out the window at the endless night sky, sinking into thought.

He felt that...

The mission to survive for three days and three nights could not be as simple as merely hiding from the Millelith in Liyue.

There had to be something else—

"Damn it, are Liyue people this brutal!?"

"Hiss—"

At this moment.

In the Lisha Outskirts.

In a certain corner.

Tianfeng Douluo hid there, clutching his arm and grimacing in pain.

Looking closely.

A large patch of obvious charred flesh covered his shoulder, even faintly releasing the smell of cooked meat into the air.

After fleeing ahead of the others, he had been caught squarely in Keqing's sneak attack. Combined with the ambush, the Electro Elemental Burst had been devastatingly effective.

Therefore.

Tianfeng Douluo had immediately gone all out. Using his advantage in the air, he injured Keqing, then saw that two more companions capable of manipulating elemental power had arrived and fled through the sky.

While escaping, he happened to run into Pufferfish Douluo, and the two finally managed to reunite.

"They took us for the culprits behind the attack on Liyue's deity, so naturally they didn't hold back at all."

Hearing this, Pufferfish Douluo, who stood nearby, said, "I've heard that beneath Liyue's deity, there are also the adepti and the Liyue Qixing."

"However, up to now, I've only heard of the Tianquan and the Yuheng Star. The backgrounds of the others are far too mysterious—I couldn't uncover even the slightest bit of information."

After a pause, he added, "I just never expected this Yuheng Star's combat strength to be so extraordinary—"

As he spoke, he raised his hand. To everyone's shock, his entire left palm was charred black, and all five fingers had vanished—

"I tried to ambush that badly wounded Yuheng Star. I never thought that not only would I fail to kill her, but she'd cripple my hand instead—"

"Her bizarre elemental power was actually similar to heavenly lightning. It was truly impossible to guard against—"

The two unfortunate brothers looked at each other, then both lowered their heads and sighed in silence.

"Still, fortunately, we participated in this Rite of Descension. All we need to do now is survive for three days and three nights—"

Before Pufferfish Douluo could finish, Tianfeng Douluo said gravely, "Pufferfish, you're thinking too simply."

"Hm?"

"You said it yourself—the Liyue Qixing stand beneath Liyue's immortals."

Tianfeng Douluo's expression was solemn. "Right now, Tianquan is hiding in the sky, while the Yuheng Star was seriously wounded by our ambush. There's a good chance the Liyue immortals will step in to clean up this mess."

"Those Liyue immortals—shouldn't be that formidable, right?"

Tianfeng Douluo snorted coldly. "Even among Titled Douluo, there are differences in strength!"

"For example, you're Level 95 now, but do you think you could have handled the Bone Douluo of old?"

Pufferfish Douluo fell silent, unable to refute him.

After clearing the first Mondstadt stage, Tianfeng Douluo had already become a Level 97 Titled Douluo, while both Pufferfish Douluo and Snake Lance Douluo were Level 95.

"Then we—"

"Rest for a while, then head up to the Jade Chamber!"

A cold glint flashed through Tianfeng Douluo's eyes. "As long as we kill Tianquan and that Yuheng Star and throw them into disarray, surviving these three days and nights won't be a problem!"

At those words, Pufferfish Douluo's heart trembled. He stared at Tianfeng Douluo before him in shock.

Though they were both elders of the Spirit Hall Empire, Pufferfish Douluo was ultimately far too young, whether in age or seniority. Tianfeng Douluo was a genuine veteran Titled Douluo.

Of course.

Among his peers, he might have been the weakest Titled Douluo. Those of the same generation as him had either already become Super Douluo or been laid to rest.

"What?"

Seeing that Pufferfish Douluo remained silent, Tianfeng Douluo frowned. "With such severe injuries to your hand, can you really swallow this humiliation?"

Pufferfish Douluo said, "—Fine!"

After a moment of silence, Pufferfish Douluo looked at his left hand, now little more than a fist. A vicious glint flashed through his eyes before he finally nodded in agreement.

Late at night, under cover of the dark, windy moonless sky, two shadows quietly snuck onto the Jade Chamber.

For the people of Liyue, reaching the Jade Chamber was rather difficult, even with a Wind Vision.

But to Tianfeng Douluo, none of that was a problem.

As a Level 97 Super Douluo whose martial soul was wind, his understanding and mastery of wind ran extremely deep. Carrying one person as he rode the wind to the Jade Chamber was no great difficulty.

At this moment, the Jade Chamber was faintly lit, yet there appeared to be no one stationed nearby.

Too much had happened today. Ningguang had exhausted herself thinking, while the secretaries and other staff aboard the Jade Chamber had all been busy carrying out the tasks one by one. Naturally, they were all quite exhausted as well.
