Jiang Xiaofeng teleported back to Mondstadt City with Diluc's father.
"Go, go see Diluc, according to your memory."
"Don't worry, I'm not interested in your family's Diluc, as long as he doesn't block my way."
Jiang Xiaofeng had no intention of killing Diluc and the Captain Kaeya, whom he had a good impression of.
Therefore, if there's a possibility of getting Diluc to take over Mondstadt without resistance, Jiang Xiaofeng would still like to give it a try.
Diluc's father looked at Jiang Xiaofeng, hesitated, and finally bowed to Jiang Xiaofeng.
"Thank you..."
Jiang Xiaofeng watched as Diluc's father walked towards his family's tavern and then spoke.
"At least give your name; this is very impolite."
Diluc's father paused.
What meaning does the name of a dead person have...?
Jiang Xiaofeng watched him walk away and asked, "?"
Did he think he was experiencing a final burst of energy before death, and that he had been brought back to relive the glory of Mondstadt City?
Jiang Xiaofeng left with a dark expression.
When Jiang Xiaofeng reappeared, he was already in front of a magnificent mansion.
Jiang Xiaofeng stepped forward and knocked on the door twice.
"Where did this fool come from, daring to make such a racket in front of the great Lawrence Clan?"
Jiang Xiaofeng: "..."
No, I haven't said anything yet.
Jiang Xiaofeng turned around and looked closely. A middle-aged man was looking at Jiang Xiaofeng with an arrogant and disdainful attitude.
Jiang Xiaofeng didn't even bother to refute this guy. He simply raised his hand and forcefully invaded the brain of this member of the Lawrence Clan with his Void Power, planting something like a " Mental Seal " within him.
Then, Jiang Xiaofeng controlled the Lawrence man to open the door...
Soon, Jiang Xiaofeng was sitting in the center of the Lawrence Clan mansion, while a guy lay sprawled on the ground like a dead dog.
Jiang Xiaofeng leaned back in his chair, biting into a grape handed to him by the Knave of the Lawrence Clan he controlled, looking at this stubborn man who refused to yield no matter what.
Eula's uncle.
A loyal remnant of the old aristocracy.
If the old aristocracy had acted ethically, the Lawrence Clan wouldn't be so universally reviled now.
But... the key issue is that the Lawrence Clan is incompetent.
They are nothing but remnants of feudalism, yet they still dream of restoring their former glory...
"Just you wait! I've already made a deal with the Fatui. When the time is right, they'll take over Mondstadt and let us regain our dominance..."
Jiang Xiaofeng got annoyed and waved his hand lightly.
A large amount of Void Power instantly entered his body, Eula's body immediately stiffened.
The next moment--
He instantly exploded!
Jiang Xiaofeng waved his hand, and a the Knave brought out a basin of water and towels to start cleaning up the mess in the hall.
Jiang Xiaofeng had had enough fun and left the Lawrence Clan mansion.
Before leaving, Jiang Xiaofeng gave an order.
"Continue to make deals with the Fatui and provide them with the location of the underground passages in Mondstadt."
After doing all this, Jiang Xiaofeng arrived at the Angel's Share.
Charles remained behind the counter, leisurely wiping the glasses.
Where is your husband?
Charles glanced at Jiang Xiaofeng.
"Winery."
Jiang Xiaofeng nodded.
It seems that Charles was the first to discover the presence of Diluc's father...
The next moment, Jiang Xiaofeng appeared inside the Dawn Winery.
Diluc.
" Diluc! Where is he?!"
Jiang Xiaofeng called out Diluc's name, intending to catch up with him.
After waiting for a long time, no one showed up.
Left with no other option, Jiang Xiaofeng had to ask the head maid, Adelinde.
Upon learning that Diluc and his father had been invited for questioning by the Knights of Favonius, Jiang Xiaofeng fell silent.
Then, Jiang Xiaofeng expanded his perception to the entire Mondstadt City, and teleported the two people inside the Knights of Favonius directly back to Dawn Winery through the Starry Sky Gate.
What are you two doing at the Knights of Favonius?
"Are you afraid no one will know about your father's resurrection, dear Lord Diluc?"
Jiang Xiaofeng, his face grim, questioned Diluc.
Diluc looked at Jiang Xiaofeng, silently stood up, and bowed to Jiang Xiaofeng.
"Thank you."
"Don't hesitate to ask if you need anything."
Jiang Xiaofeng immediately declared, "I want to take control of the entire Mondstadt City."
"You can't stop me, or you might as well try and see if you can stop me."
"I don't want to kill you, so the end result will just be two more Mental Seal appearing."
Diluc remained silent.
If I were alone, I would definitely fight Jiang Xiaofeng to the death and stop Jiang Xiaofeng.
But... even his father, who had been dead for many years, had come back to life. What couldn't Jiang Xiaofeng do?
The more Diluc thought about it, the colder his heart became.
There is absolutely no possibility of successfully resisting...
Looking at Diluc's expression, Jiang Xiaofeng spoke again.
"My only target is Mondstadt's Anemo Archon."
"Apart from that, I will only make Mondstadt better."
"Don't worry, Diluc, just keep an eye on Mondstadt's changes."
"Of course, if you want to continue being Darknight Hero, no one will stop you."
As he spoke, Jiang Xiaofeng's figure slowly disappeared.
Only one last sentence was left.
"What you should be doing now isn't worrying about Mondstadt, but having a good chat with your father. Don't put on that long face like you did a few years ago."
Diluc: "..."
Diluc's father pulled Diluc to sit down beside him.
"Alright, Diluc, stop thinking about that person. It's not something we can interfere with."
"This is a contest between their gods; it has nothing to do with us ordinary people."
"Compared to the Mondstadt situation, I'm more curious about the Darknight Hero that person mentioned..."
Diluc's father quickly diverted Diluc's attention with a few words, and the two began talking about other things...
Jiang Xiaofeng arrived at the headquarters of the Knights of Favonius.
Looking at the anxious Knights of Favonius, Jiang Xiaofeng shook his head.
Neither the three great families of Mondstadt nor the Knights of Favonius are the most difficult to turn.
The difficulty lies with the nuns and bishops of Church of Favonius.
They were devout followers of Barbatos and had virtually no possibility of abandoning their faith.
Just like that Archbishop Seamus.
His actions were indeed for Mondstadt's sake.
but...
Jiang Xiaofeng flew to the Cathedral of Favonius.
The Void Power was quietly released, distorting the thoughts of the believers of the Anemo Archon inside the Church of Favonius.
However, Jiang Xiaofeng gave up halfway through.
When they conquered Mondstadt, the Church of Favonius remained there, allowing them to continue their worship of the Anemo Archon...
hey-hey.
That scene would definitely be very interesting.
Jiang Xiaofeng concealed his presence, landing lightly behind the Church of Favonius, and unleashed the power of the Void Power to stir the Ley Line.
It will be difficult to conquer Mondstadt Blood Sword.
However, some overt strategies are not entirely unusable...
