Clang... clang!
From the deepest part of the ship's hold came the rhythmic scraping of iron chains.
The sound chilled the soul and bones, filling anyone who heard it with dread.
Even Muyun's expression grew grave when he mentioned that fellow. Clearly, whoever his father Duo Jie had brought along was extremely dangerous.
Duo Jie sneered, a cold glint flashing through his eyes.
"That's right. After that unexpected failure in Inazuma last time, I learned to be careful. With him along this time, nothing can go wrong!"
Yet Muyun still looked somewhat worried.
For one thing, that fellow was very likely to lose control and cause a major uproar in Liyue.

After all, Liyue was Lin Yi's territory, and Lin Yi was Rex Lapis, a god of staggering power.
"Can this really work, Father? I observed them carefully. Those two guards who angered you so badly you spat up three pints of blood both had capabilities comparable to Vision holders. They were even hiding their elemental abilities, so we can't underestimate them.
