Chapter 93 Tevarin: I killed the Rock King? Is that true?! Wendy: How about your resurrection, old man?
boom!
Heavy objects fall to the ground.

In Liyue Harbor, smoke and dust rose from the scene of the ceremony to invite the immortals.

Countless spectators were terrified, not knowing what was going on.

Ningguang, the host of the ceremony, also frowned, not understanding what was going on. However, she still gave a shout and ordered the Qianyan Army to maintain order at the ceremony and not to cause chaos!
Tianquan Ningguang's scolding voice calmed the panic-stricken meeting place.

Afterwards, the smoke and dust that filled the scene disappeared, and what appeared at the ceremony venue was a giant dragon, or more precisely, two giant dragons.

A giant dragon, the incarnation of the Geo King, who is very familiar to the people of Liyue Harbor and even the Seven Stars of Liyue.

On the other side, there was a giant blue dragon that was extremely unfamiliar to the people of Liyue Harbor. What was even more important was that the giant blue dragon was shaking its head at this moment, as if it was dizzy from having hit a hard object.

On the other side, the giant dragon that was the incarnation of the Rock King was completely motionless at this time.

This made everyone in Liyue Harbor have an idea:
The emperor was assassinated!

It was this giant dragon that assassinated the emperor!
The hearts of many Liyue people became angry at this moment.

Ningguang was as angry as everyone else, but at the same time she recognized the blue dragon. It was Mondstadt's East Wind Dragon, Tevarin:
Why did Tevarin appear in Mondstadt?
Could it be that Tevarin was ordered by the wind god of Mondstadt to invade Liyue? !

No matter what, we can't let it leave.

Ningguang thought about this and firmly gave the order to the Thousand Rocks Army:
"The Emperor has been assassinated. Seal off the scene and prevent this giant dragon from escaping!"

Upon hearing this, the Thousand Rocks soldiers rushed forward to surround Tevarin and aimed their Thousand Rocks spears at Tevarin's weak points.

At this time, Tevarin finally came back to his senses from the chaos. He took a look at the many Thousand Rocks soldiers at the scene, and the Ancestral Magical Transmutation that had already stopped moving not far away, and his whole dragon was numb:

what's going on?
I killed the Rock King with a headbutt!

What a joke! !

If I, Tevarin, were so strong, I would not have been poisoned when I fought the dragon Durin... And it should be me, Tevarin, who should be the wind god of Mondstadt now, instead of that idle Barbatos!

No, I have to explain!
We can’t let Mondstadt and Liyue really fight.

Tevarin thought so and said in human language: "Misunderstanding, it's all misunderstanding, I was just an accident..."

"It's an accident." Tianquan Ningguang interrupted, "It just happened that the Immortal Ceremony came to Liyue, and it just happened that the Emperor was hit like this. How could it be an accident!"

"That's right." Keqing, who was not far away, agreed and used Lei Qi to perform Flying Thunder God to arrive at the scene. She grabbed a long sword from the void, aimed at Tianquan Ningguang and said, "Ningguang, stop pretending."

???

Tianquan Ningguang was stunned when he saw this scene.

In the crowd, Ningguang's three assistants, Baiwen, Baixiao, and Baishi, all showed expressions of astonishment, not understanding why Keqing pointed her sword at Ningguang.

The same is true for many Liyue people. They don't understand why Keqing, who is also one of the Seven Stars of Liyue, is pointing her sword at Ningguang, the Tianquan Star.

Internal strife among the Seven Stars!

Even if it is an internal conflict, it shouldn't be done during the ceremony of inviting the immortals!

In the crowd, the eleventh executor of the Fatui, Tartaglia, saw this scene and an inexplicable smile appeared on his face. He thought to himself:
I originally thought that this year's ceremony of inviting the immortals would be as boring as in the past, with the Rock King Emperor coming to read out various decrees and arrange the government affairs for the year...but I didn't expect to see a giant dragon falling and the Seven Stars fighting among themselves!
This is how the battle develops which I, Tartaglia, want to see!

Fight now, fight now!
Let me see the strength of the Liyue Seven Stars and how they compare to the Fatui!

Being a battle fanatic, Tartaglia opened his eyes wide, not daring to miss any of the following scenes.

At this moment, Tianquan Ningguang, who had white hair, a rich aura, and a curvy figure, spoke up: "Keqing, what are you doing? Your sword should not be pointed at me, but at the dragon!"

"Isn't that giant dragon yours?" Keqing, who had a purple cat head, snorted coldly and pointed her sword at the sky, saying, "I just saw with my own eyes this giant blue dragon dragging the Jade Pavilion into a collision with the Emperor!
“Ningguang, you really betrayed Liyue and the Emperor!!” When Keqing said this, tears appeared in her eyes.

Although Keqing always says that the Emperor should let go and that Liyue needs human rule... these words are considered to be extremely treasonous by many people in Liyue.

But in fact, she is also a fan of the Emperor, just a slightly twisted fan of the Emperor.

On weekdays, she would even buy the Emperor’s dragon-shaped action figures… So after she saw the giant dragon dragging the Qun Yu Ge and killing the dragon transformed by the Emperor, she rushed over immediately and pointed the sword in her hand at Ningguang, the Yuheng Star, who was also one of the Seven Stars of Liyue.

Ningguang did not speak but raised her head. All the Liyue people present also raised their heads and immediately saw the huge Jade Pavilion in the sky. What was more crucial was that there was a wind elemental belt connecting the Jade Pavilion and the giant dragon that fell to the venue of the Summoning Immortals Ceremony.

This scene caused many Liyue people to have a terrible guess:

Could it be that what Yuhengxing Keqing said was true, and Tianquan Ningguang really betrayed the Emperor and Liyue? !

At this moment, Tianquan Ningguang said with difficulty: "That is not my Qunyu Pavilion, but another one."

“Nonsense.” Keqing retorted without hesitation: “Apart from you, Ningguang, who else in this world can create such an aerial wonder?”

Ningguang opened her mouth slightly but could not say anything... The reason was very simple. She still had not figured out who was the person who had created the Jade Pavilion in Mondstadt and who shared the same taste as her.

Seeing this, Keqing said coldly: "Ningguang, you finally have nothing to say."

"..."

Ningguang was speechless.

The people of Liyue looked at Ningguang with an increasingly strange look in their eyes.

……

At the same time, Zhongli, who was carrying a bird cage, drinking tea and listening to opera in a teahouse, looked as leisurely as a retired old man. However, he couldn't help showing a toothache expression:
I'm just getting ready to retire!
Mond's drunkard is here to cause trouble!
Moreover, he brought the followers of the East Wind Dragon with him to cause trouble... If this is not handled properly, the people of Liyue will think that the gods of Mondstadt have invaded Liyue and assassinated Liyue's Rock God, Rock King!

By then, a war to the death will break out between Mondstadt and Liyue.

Just when Zhongli was having a headache, a gust of wind blew over, and at the same time, Wendy's voice came:
"The old man was in a car accident. Now let your dragon incarnation open his eyes and explain, or my follower Tevarin will become the dragon that kills the Rock King!"

"..."

After a moment of silence, Zhongli responded to Wendy: "Today is my retirement day. I originally wanted to make that incarnation become the ancestor's magic transformation."

Wendy: “Ah, this…”

Zhongli: "Barbatos, let's discuss how to deal with this situation! After all, if we don't handle it well, Liyue and Mondstadt will go to war!"

Wendy: "How about you perform a resurrection trick, old man?!"

Zhongli: "?"

Wendy: "Just control your avatar and shout, I'm resurrected..."

Zhongli: "Barbatos, you are still as out of tune as before!"

Wendy: “Hey hey!”

Zhongli listened to the voice in the breeze, shook his head slightly, and said with his mind: "I said, today is my retirement day... I have made a lot of preparations for this retirement." Wendy: "What preparations? Drinking tea and listening to opera in a teahouse? Or using the wallet of Tartaglia, the eleventh executor of the Fatui, to buy various stones?"

Venti noticed Zhongli's silence and chuckled, "The wind from Mondstadt blowing towards Liyue told me a lot of things..."

Zhongli continued to shake his head, "Anyway, I don't want to work anymore if I can't revive the dead Rock Emperor."

Just as the two were discussing, another gust of wind blew into the teahouse, and Chu Hang's voice was heard in the wind: "Have you two finished your discussion? If you don't come to a conclusion, a fight will really break out at the Immortal Ceremony Venue!"

Zhongli was surprised to see that besides Wendy, there was someone else who was so good at controlling the power of wind. He asked, "Who are you?"

A voice came from the wind: "Chu Hang."

"It turned out to be Mr. Chu Hang."

There was a flash of understanding in Zhongli's eyes.

"You know I exist?"

"Barbatos once told me part of your story." Zhongli finished speaking, then thought of something and looked up at the void and said, "Barbatos, why don't you reveal your true identity and stop the conflict that is about to break out during the Immortal Invitation Ceremony... Then wait until night, and I will use the dream-entering technique to tell them that I am planning to fake my death and retire."

"No, no, no." Wendy's evasive voice was heard in the wind. "I have just woken up and my power is very weak. You may not know, old man, that I was robbed of my Heart of God by the Eighth Lady of the Fatui before, and I suffered a heavy blow!"

When Zhongli heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and he said in his heart:
Your divine power is so weak that you were severely injured by the Eighth Lady of the Fatui and your Heart of God was taken away. I don't believe you at all!

Barbatos, you can clearly hear what's happening in Liyue Harbor across the distance between Liyue and Mondstadt.

Also, being severely injured by the lady and having the Heart of God taken away is even more ridiculous... I think you gave it away on purpose!

By the way, I also want to send the Heart of God to the Fatui!

The Queen of Winter Ice really needs the Heart of God!

Oh, no...I shouldn't be thinking about this now.

Zhongli shook his head and continued to think, communicating with another breeze in the void: "Can Mr. Chu Hang's request for the Immortal Ceremony be handed over to you to handle?"

"Let me handle it?" Chu Hang said in surprise: "Lord Rock King, aren't you afraid that I will cause a bigger mess?"

"It doesn't matter. No matter how big the mess is, I can guarantee the bottom line." Zhongli said confidently, and then said: "And Mr. Chu Hang, just call me Zhongli. I'm retired now."

"Okay Zhongli, you don't need to call me Mr., just call me Chu Hang."

The moment the words fell, the gust of wind representing Chu Hang in the void dissipated.

At the same time, Wendy's voice once again reached Zhongli's ears:
"Old man, don't underestimate the ability of the adventer named Chu Hang to cause trouble!

"He possesses a spatial force similar to that of the Heavenly Law Maintainer. Of course, there is more to it than that. He can also create countless mechanical creations like the people of Keria five hundred years ago."

When Zhongli heard this, his hand, which had just grabbed the teacup to drink tea, trembled slightly.

Obviously, Zhongli had never expected that Chu Hang possessed such extraordinary power. If Chu Hang displayed such power and was discovered by the one in the sky, the Frost Sky Nail would probably fall towards Liyue!
By then, even if he, the Rock King, revived and used the power of the Rock God Jade Shield to protect Liyue, Liyue would still suffer a heavy loss...

When Zhongli thought of this, he finally lost his usual calmness. He quickly told the waiter to leave the bill at the Hall of Rebirth, then he rushed to the venue of the ceremony to invite the immortal, carrying the bird cage.

At this moment, Wendy's somewhat teasing voice rang out in the air: "For thousands of years, every time we met, you looked as steady as a rock. Now you finally can't hold your ground anymore!"

Zhongli stopped and thought to communicate with Breeze, "Barbatos, I remember you said yesterday that Chu Hang, Traveler, and Silver Wolf came to Mondstadt, but today you let Tevarin bring three Adventers to Liyue!

"You guys are not trying to divert the blame!"

“How is it possible!?” Wendy raised his voice and said, “Old man, how can you have such an idea? The reason why those three Adventers were brought to Liyue by Tevarin was because the three of them begged Tevarin for help.

"By the way, old man, you don't need to worry so much. You may know the horror and terror of the laws of nature better than I do, so they will not easily use forbidden powers and attract the attention of the sky!"

"That's good."

Zhongli let out a long sigh, and his steps towards the Ceremony of Summoning the Immortals became steady again. On the way to the Ceremony, he even saw a good piece of Yebo Stone in a store, so he went up to it and bought it without asking the price, and asked to put it on the account of Northland Bank.

"okay!"

Since Zhongli had already created a character that after retirement, he would not be short of money and would be an expert in antiques, calligraphy and paintings... he also made himself familiar to the merchants in Liyue Harbor.

So the merchant quickly packed the Yebo Stone products for him in fine packaging.

Wendy sensed this scene with the wind and couldn't help but sigh: "Old man, you are really calm."

“I believe in you, Barbatos.” Zhongli picked up the stone and thought to himself, “Although you, Barbatos, have always acted unreliable in front of others, there is no doubt that you are qualified to rule!

"If not, Mond wouldn't be as peaceful as it is now!
"I have also seen Mondstadt six thousand years ago. It was a freezing cold place. Only within the high walls built by the solitary king of the tower, Dekalabian, could humans survive!
"However, in your hands, Mondstadt has undergone a tremendous change, from a freezing snowy land where no one could survive to a green land with birds singing and flowers blooming in a pleasant temperature.

"Even now, your wind elemental power called the Millennium Symphony is still maintaining Mondstadt's current status!"

Wendy: “Hey hey!”

……

While the gods of Mondstadt and Liyue were chatting, Chu Hang opened his eyes on the Jade Pavilion of Truth and said to Paimon, the Traveler Ying, and Silver Wolf: "Zhongli has given me full authority to handle matters related to the Summoning the Immortals Ceremony."

Silver Wolf blinked his eyes when he heard this and said, "He is really determined to retire. He actually handed over the matter of inviting the immortals to the ceremony to outsiders like us to handle."

Chu Hang shrugged and said, "He originally wanted to let Jiu Mengzi handle it, but unfortunately Jiu Mengzi refused, so this task fell on me."

At this time, the traveler Ying started to complain: "We clearly set out early, and Tevarin dragged us to Liyue, so why did we encounter the Immortal Summoning Ceremony? And it was Tevarin who ran into the Immortal Summoning Ceremony..."

Chu Hang heard this, turned his head and glanced at the traveler and said: "Maybe it's because you are the protagonist, or maybe you are the Adventer, with a status equivalent to the continent of Teyvat, so many things on the continent revolve around you, the Adventer!"

Traveler Ying thought of something and asked, "The protagonist's luck?"

Chu Hang nodded slightly: "Yes!"

Just as the two were communicating here, Paimon flew over from afar and said anxiously, "Traveler Ying, Chu Hang, Silver Wolf, and Tevarin are surrounded by Liyue's army with spears! And the street singer has disappeared! What should we do next?!"

Traveler Ying raised his hand, touched Paimeng's little head and comforted him, "Don't worry, little Paimeng, just leave it to Chu Hang."

"That's right, just let me handle it!"

Chu Hang nodded slightly.

When Paimeng saw this scene, he felt that the Traveler trusted Chu Hang extremely well.

Soon Paimeng recalled the voice he heard from the master bedroom of the Qun Yu Pavilion yesterday... and understood why the traveler Ying trusted Chu Hang so much:
"Okay, okay...Chu Hang, you have to work harder!"

"Don't worry, leave it to me!"
