Jiang Xiaofeng carried Venti and flew back towards Mondstadt City.
This is Venti's request.
Knowing he was in the wrong, Jiang Xiaofeng had no choice but to agree to let Venti fly back to Mondstadt instead of teleporting directly back.
"Look at that big tree in the Windrise; that's where Vanessa landed on the Celestia."
"And there, Falcon Coast, the fault line there is still the mark left by Dvalin and me after defeating the dragon Durin..."
"And there... ouch."
Jiang Xiaofeng gave Venti's butt a light slap.
"Stop talking. You'll have plenty of chances to say it once I've put you under house arrest."
Jiang Xiaofeng sped up and flew towards Mondstadt City.
By the time Jiang Xiaofeng and Venti arrived in Mondstadt, it was already dusk.
Jiang Xiaofeng put Venti down.
Damn, her body is even more flexible than a girl's...
Jiang Xiaofeng kicked Venti in the butt. "Hurry up and leave. Since you really don't plan to care about Mondstadt anymore, just stay in the tavern and don't come out."
"Hehe."
Venti turned around, blinked, and walked towards the Angel's Share.
Jiang Xiaofeng infused the Void Power into the ground, sensing the hidden pieces he had previously laid, and smiled slightly.
Soon...
Beneath Mondstadt lies a vast network of tunnels.
"My lord, does this secret passage truly lead directly to Mondstadt City?"
A musketeer asked the debt collector who was walking at the front.
"This information was provided by the Lawrence Clan, so it shouldn't be wrong."
"After all, they need the power of the Fatui to control Mondstadt."
"A bunch of good-for- Fatui! If the Fools really conquer Mondstadt City, when it comes time to divide the spoils, why would it be your turn, you bunch of idiots..."
The Fatui army advanced rapidly along the tunnels.
Suddenly, the debt collector raised his hand.
"Stop!"
"There's trouble ahead!"
The debt collector stared at the motionless black-clad, knife-wielding skeleton before him and swallowed hard.
A warning bell rang in his mind, urging him to retreat immediately and absolutely not to fight this "person" in front of him!
However... if we retreat, there are no other alternative routes...
The debt collector looked back at his small squad of Fatui and made a tough decision.
"Retreat!"
At the same time, the debt collector brandished his twin swords and charged at the skeleton.
He can die himself, but he can't drag his teammates to their deaths!
" The Captain!"
The team members behind shouted.
"Retreat! Retreat now!"
The Geo Fools, wielding Fatui, waved their staffs, erecting a wall of Geo.
The musketeer teammate fired at the skeleton, attempting to disrupt Mr. Three Blades's actions.
But... it's a pity.
Seeing the Fatui's Debt Settlement Officer charging towards him, Mr. Three Blades suddenly pulled back, dodging the attack.
Then...
Raise the knife high...
"Laugh--"
The debt settlement agent was cut in two!
"Click!"
Mr. Three Blades charged forward and swung his second blade, cleaving the musket soldier in two at the waist!
The third strike was thankfully blocked by the wall.
The Geo Fatui soldiers dared not breathe, slowly retreating...
Suddenly, Mr. Three Blades moved.
The knife in his hand was shrouded in black mist, and with another seemingly ordinary strike, it easily shattered the wall.
The Geo Fatui breathed a sigh of relief as they watched the approaching skeleton.
"Brothers, run!"
After they finished speaking, a yellowish-brown light shone from the bodies of the Fatui!
Immediately afterwards, several Geo barriers blocked their path.
The Geo Fatui soldiers slowly stood up, looked at the skeleton that had raised its sword and swung it down, and muttered something.
Take care, brothers.
The light emanating from his body instantly erupted, causing a section of the entire tunnel to collapse!
In the other tunnels of Mondstadt, the Fatui squad also encountered monsters such as the King of Fighters and the Hugger.
All the secret passages were destroyed by the Fatui, making it impossible to enter or exit.
In this operation, the Fatui' forces suffered heavy losses...
At this moment, Saixiya and Xisuo'en were sitting in the Knights of Favonius's reception room.
Qin looked at the Favonius Sword on the table, her brows furrowed in worry.
"This is truly not the work of us Knights of Favonius."
Qin tried to explain, but her explanation was so weak and unconvincing.
After all, the Favonius Sword is the standard weapon of the Knights of Favonius.
Although they are mostly sealed away, they are indeed Mondstadt weapons, and only the Knights of Favonius can find them.
"Regardless of the reason, we urge our leader to give us, the Fatui, an explanation."
"After all, our compatriots died in Mondstadt."
"They're still using your Knights of Favonius Sword of the Knights of Favonius."
"Saixiya said softly."
Qin nodded.
"We will certainly fulfill your request."
"Does Your Excellency have other matters to attend to?"
"Us..."
Just as Xisuo'en was about to speak, he suddenly received some information, and his expression turned extremely ugly.
"Excuse me, Acting Grand Master Jean."
With a grim expression, Xisuo'en walked out of the reception room and headed towards the outside of the Knights of Favonius.
Saixiya had clearly received the message as well, and her expression was not good.
After a while, Xisuo'en walked in.
"Let's get straight to the point, Acting Grand Master Jean."
"Since the murderer used the Favonius Sword to kill our compatriots, is it alright if we take some Favonius Sword as compensation?"
" The Fatui have no shortage of Mora or treasures, but we are very interested in your Mondstadt weapons."
"That's settled then, Acting Grand Master Jean. If you don't want our diplomats to negotiate with you, then you'd better seriously consider our demands."
"After all, compared to them, we've been very merciful..."
Xisuo'en and Saixiya stood up, leaving behind a rather unpleasant-looking Jean, and departed from the Knights of Favonius.
"Hand over the Favonius Sword... How is that possible...?"
Qin's face looked very pale.
The Favonius Sword is no longer just a weapon; it is a symbol of the Knights of Favonius in Mondstadt, and its commemorative significance far outweighs its use in battle.
But... now not only have they been stolen, but they've also been used to kill members of the Fatui...
Who did this?!
Qin looked unwell.
Having just dealt with the Lawrence Clan's collusion with the Fatui, and now this has happened, it's hard for Jean not to focus her attention on the Lawrence Clan.
What if this is also the work of the Lawrence Clan?
However, the Honorary Knight is not currently in Mondstadt...
Having reached this point, Qin summoned Eula.
"Commander, is there a mission?"
Eula's busiest task lately has been cleaning up the Hilichurl; she's been quite relaxed lately.
"Hmm, Eula, please go back and investigate your family. Is it... um..."
Eula understood immediately.
"I understand, Acting Grand Master Jean. Are you trying to make me fall out with my family again?"
"I'm leaving. I'll remember this grudge."
Eula swayed as she left Qin's office, leaving Qin looking utterly helpless.
Lisa has been engrossed in her research lately, while Amber has been clearing out Hilichurl in the wild.
Kaeya simply wasn't in Mondstadt City.
She has almost no one she can rely on left.
Qin felt so tired...
So, what about Jiang Xiaofeng at this moment?
He has deployed a large number of Royal Guard to Mondstadt, where they massacred monsters and drove them far away from Mondstadt City in the wilderness.
However, Jiang Xiaofeng hasn't made a move in the Wolvendom yet.
After all, it's the remnant of a demon god's soul; even the Royal Guard might not be able to handle it...
