Chapter 98: Xiao: I want to capture Zhongli! What?! Zhongli is the Emperor?!!
Liyue Food Street is bustling with people.
Ningguang and Keqing were both staying in a corner at this time, using the wind element perception power of Xiao, the demon-conquering great sage and the three-eyed and five-manifested immortal, to listen to Chu Hang's description of the heaven in the Hall of All People.
As they listened, they all felt more and more that the heaven was real, and perhaps the emperor really did ascend.
Finally, the two of them focused their attention on the only immortal Xiao present and asked, "Great Sage Conquering the Demons, do you think the Emperor will ascend to heaven or die?"
“I don’t know.” Xiao shook his head and said, “I went to Jueyunjian before to look for the immortals and the True Lords. I asked the immortals and the True Lords to look for the Emperor’s whereabouts and send a message to me immediately after finding him!
“But now, there is no news.
"This means that something must have happened to the Emperor..."
After Xiao finished speaking, he added: "When the sun sets and the moon rises, we will all get the answer and know the emperor's true identity..."
Xiao was halfway through his words when he heard Zhongli's voice in the sound of the wind coming from Wanmin Hall: "The heaven described by Mr. Chu Hang, the special envoy of the heaven, is truly splendid!
“If the Emperor ascends to that world, he will definitely be able to achieve something!
“Similarly, after Liyue leaves the Emperor, I think there will be new developments!
"After all, Liyue has existed for thousands of years, and the Emperor has governed Liyue for thousands of years. Many of its systems are no longer up to date... Perhaps it would be better to let the people of Liyue govern Liyue than for the gods to govern Liyue!"
Xiao's face darkened when he heard this.
In Xiao's opinion, it is best for Liyue to be governed by the Emperor. As for Liyue's Seven Star Power, can Liyue really be governed well? !
Don’t mess up Liyue in just two or three hundred years!
At this moment, Zhongli was marked as the Black Emperor by Xiao.
Ningguang turned her head and looked at Keqing, and said to her, "There are people in Liyue who share your opinion and believe that Liyue is more suitable for human rule! What do you think, Keqing?"
"I think that guy is the Emperor's little black." Keqing said with a dark face: "Although I want Liyue to be ruled by humans, I think the current system planned by the Emperor is very good, but Zhongli said that the system planned by the Emperor is not perfect.
“Obviously, that Zhongli guy is Emperor Hei!
"Ningguang, and the Great Sage who conquers demons, if there is no news from the Emperor tonight, my suggestion is to capture the only Emperor of Liyue, Black Zhongli."
Ningguang nodded slightly: "I agree."
Xiao nodded: "I agree."
……
In the Hall of All People, the self-introductions continued, and Silver Wolf quickly introduced her as a visitor from heaven, who had just reached adulthood at the age of eighteen.
After hearing this self-introduction, Kurumi looked at Silver Wolf with a different look:
I thought this Miss Silver Wolf from Heaven was not yet an adult...it turns out she is already an adult, and her front armor is almost the same as mine!
Really good!
It turns out that I am not the only one with a small front armor!
The way Hu Tao looked at Yin Lang became more and more accepting at this moment.
Paimon spoke on behalf of the traveler and introduced the traveler's situation:
"This blonde girl is the traveler Ying, who is going to travel the continent of Teyvat!"
After saying that, Paimon extended his hand to the green guy beside him and said, "This is the singer, and also the best bard in Mondstadt, Wendy."
"Okay, okay, today I have made some new friends. Let's have a drink."
Kurumi, in a very happy mood, raised his glass.
Zhongli raised his glass immediately.
Wendy, Chu Hang, Silver Wolf, and Traveler Ying all raised their glasses.
Only Ganyu, the secretary of the Liyue Seven Stars, noticed the way Paimon addressed Venti:
Wendy the singing girl!
Isn't this the person Tevarin, the Dragon of the East Wind, is looking for?
Moreover, this Venti was from Mondstadt. Could it be that Mondstadt had planned for the Emperor's Dharma body to be hit by a giant dragon during the Immortal Invitation Ceremony?
Ganyu was in a heavy mood, but after being stunned for a while, she still raised her glass to toast.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
A party ended and people gradually dispersed.
……
Time passes quickly.
Night soon came. On this night, Zhongli waited for a long time, but the immortals did not fall asleep yet... He sensed the earth veins and found that all the immortals had completed their preparations for battle.
True Lord Ru Liuyun Jiefeng has already repaired the Guizhong Machine and is aiming at the Truth·Qun Yu Pavilion!
For example, Grandma Ping has evolved from Grandma Ping to Ping'er, regaining her youthful appearance and drawing her sword.
As for the Great Demon Sage Xiao, he did not go to subdue demons and cleanse the land of Liyue of the curse of the demon remains tonight.
And Ningguang has already completed the cleanup of the Qun Yu Pavilion and can use the Qun Yu Pavilion as a strategic weapon bomb and put it into combat at any time!
In this case, I can only force myself to communicate through dreams. After all, I cannot really fight.
Zhongli stamped his feet when he thought of this.
He released divine power toward the earth veins, and countless earth vein powers transformed into the dream-telling technique, causing all the fairies to enter a dream.
As a result, True Lord Ge Chen Lang Shi, True Lord Liu Yun Jie Feng, and the Great Demon Subduing Sage Xiao... and other immortals all saw Zhongli's figure and sensed a familiar aura on Zhongli's body. There was no doubt that it was the aura of Emperor Yan Wang.
Then Zhongli opened his mouth slightly and told everyone that he was going to retire...
True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng couldn't help but ask, "What exactly happened during the Immortal Invitation Ceremony?!"
"Well... Tevarin is the actor I hired for my retirement, and the ascension was just an excuse... Anyway, you can just call me Mr. Zhongli from now on."
In order to appease the immortals, Zhongli explained everything clearly.
While Zhongli was explaining to the fairies, the demon-slayer Xiao showed embarrassment on his handsome face, and he seemed a little uneasy.
The reason is very simple. Not long ago, he believed that Zhongli was a black fan who discredited the Geo King Emperor and even wanted to arrest Zhongli and put him in jail... So he really didn't expect that Zhongli was the Emperor, the only one in Liyue who hated the Emperor.
and many more!
Suddenly, the Demon Slayer Xiao thought of what Ganyu said... Tevarin had been looking for a street singer, and seemed to be very concerned about the street singer Wendy, who was from Mondstadt.
This means...
Xiao took a deep breath and asked Zhongli, "Emperor... Mr. Zhongli, since the Dragon of the East Wind is an actor you invited, then the one who was drinking with you at the same table not long ago, whom you called an old friend...could the green one who was drinking the whole time be Mondstadt's Wind God Barbatos?!"
"Yes."
Zhongli did not hide anything from Xiao.
"..."
Xiao was silent, just as he had not expected that the only person who hated the Emperor in Liyue was the Emperor himself. He also had not expected that the dignified God of Wind was a drunkard, and even after getting drunk, he jumped up and down in the Hall of All People, in front of the Emperor... Zhongli, and told the story of the Emperor's ascension, and he told it vividly.
At this time, Grandma Ping Gechen Langshi Zhenjun also asked, "Mr. Zhongli, is Chu Hang really from the heaven? I always feel that there is something wrong with the wind elemental power he uses."
Xiao on the side also nodded: "Yes, I also sensed it. The elemental force he used is incompatible with the elemental force I used, and the concentration of the elemental force is too huge. It has already surpassed the boundaries of the mortal world and reached the level of a demon god..."
"I can't answer these questions for you." Zhongli shook his head slightly and said, "In short, Chu Hang is a being from outside of Teyvat."
After hearing this, Grandma Ping, the True Lord of Gechen Langshi, and the Great Saint Xiao, who conquered demons, understood that Chu Hang was most likely a supernatural being from heaven. At the moment when the two were shocked, the True Lord of Liuyun Jiefeng looked around and suddenly realized something: "Where is Ganyu, Emperor... ahem... Mr. Zhongli, didn't you send Ganyu a dream?"
"I have dreamt, and the magic of dream has been used." Zhongli said, with a strange look on his face, "But Ganyu seems to be used to staying up late for a long time, and she can even withstand the magic of dream!
"Right now, she is still following the orders of Ningguang, the Tianquan Star of this generation of Liyue Seven Stars, to monitor Chu Hang."
Master Liuyun Jiefeng sighed, "Ganyu, that child, has really worked hard for her."
……
The Emperor’s dream ends.
The Guizhong Machine that began to glow in various places in Liyue returned to peace.
True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng flew back to Aozang Mountain, while True Lord Xueyue Zhuyang and True Lord Lishui Dieshan also returned to their respective caves.
As for the True Lord Ge Chen Lang Shi, her face changed from that of a young girl to that of an old woman.
All the immortals returned home to do their work.
Ye Lan quickly got the information from the General Affairs Department and reported it to Tian Quan Ning Guang in the Jade Pavilion, which made Ning Guang's frown tonight relax slightly:
All the immortals have gone back, which means there is news from the Emperor!
No, just in case, I still have to...
As Ningguang was thinking about it, she contacted the Demon Slayer Xiao using the identity of one of the Seven Stars of Liyue.
Not long after, a wind man appeared on the Jade Pavilion. Ningguang immediately asked him, "Any news from the Emperor?"
“Yes.” Xiao nodded slightly and said, “The Emperor has ascended to the heavens. All matters in the mortal world of Liyue will be handed over to you, the Liyue Seven Stars, to handle from now on!”
"Does this mean Chu Hang is really the envoy of the heaven?"
"Yes."
"understood."
After Ningguang learned that Chu's identity as the special envoy of the space industry was genuine, she ordered Ye Lan, who was standing beside her, to let the Qianyan Army, which had already been arranged, retreat.
"Yes."
Ye Lan left quickly.
After that, Ningguang narrowed her eyes and asked the Great Saint Xiao a question: "Ganyu said that Tevarin is looking for the green bard. Is he a special existence in Mondstadt?
"And is Zhongli, his old friend, also a special existence?!"
When the Demon Conqueror Xiao heard this, he did not answer. After all, if he revealed Venti's true identity, Zhongli's identity would be easy to guess!
In order to prevent the identity of the Emperor from being revealed, he had to run... no, go and exorcise demons!
When Xiao thought about this, his figure turned into a wisp of wind and quickly disappeared in the Jade Pavilion.
This scene made Ningguang realize that Zhongli and Venti were indeed special.
After all, Ningguang knew that Xiao had determined that Zhongli was Emperor Black during the day and agreed to capture Zhongli... but now he refuses to reveal even the slightest information about Venti and Zhongli.
This is enough to show how special these two people are!
No wonder the Qianyan Army found nothing when they searched the North Country Bank during the day.
Ningguang was lost in thought when she heard a series of crisp footsteps. She turned her head and saw Keqing's figure, as well as her doubtful and anxious voice asking:
"Ningguang, you have withdrawn the Qianyan Army. Is there any news from the Emperor?"
"Ah."
Ningguang nodded slightly and explained to Keqing.
Even later, Ningguang, in her capacity as Tianquan Star, convened the other seven stars in the Qun Yu Pavilion and held a small meeting.
And at the same time when the meeting was being held in the authentic Qun Yu Pavilion, a meeting was also being held in a room in another truth Qun Yu Pavilion, a two-person meeting.
The people attending the meeting were Chu Hang and Yin Lang.
The reason was very simple. After listening to the Traveler Ying and the Silver Wolf who had been making noises all night about Chu Hang yesterday, he couldn't bear it anymore today.
So the silver wolf transformed into a wolf and took the initiative.
Superior!
And Chu Hang turned into prey!
And it was at the moment when the two were playing the hunting game, one chasing and the other fleeing!
Gan Yu, the secretary, was standing outside the door at this time. She was swaying in her place, feeling extremely sleepy due to the Emperor's dream magic.
Why am I so sleepy today!
No, you must not fall asleep!
If there is no news from the Emperor today, I must shoot the arrow in my hand and avenge the Emperor!
Ganyu was waiting, and as she waited she was no longer sleepy, the reason was very simple - she heard the sound of a concerto coming from the room.
Gan Yu, who had lived for many years, had naturally heard that voice before and understood what the person in the room was doing...
As the sound continued to resound, Ganyu's body also showed some reaction, but the problem was that she was always busy with work and she had not found it yet.
So now she really wants to leave and find a room to take care of herself.
But the problem is that night has arrived, and the letter from the ascended emperor may arrive soon, and the Qianyan Army and all the immortals will take action.
So, she can't leave.
We must continue to follow the orders of Liyue Seven Stars Ningguang and monitor Chu Hang.
Time passes bit by bit.
Hours passed.
The Silver Wolf who had transformed into a wolf in the room was completely exhausted. The main force in the meeting was replaced by Chu Hang, who was explaining and practicing the superb techniques he had learned from many videos!
The silver wolf thus changed from a wolf to a lamb.
It's totally useless.
Ganyu's eyes widened at this moment, filled with disbelief:
So long... and still not stopping!
Aren’t they tired?!
And Emperor, Ningguang...it's already late at night, why is there still no news from you!
Hurry up and send me news!
Ganyu, I can’t take it anymore.
Even the Ice God's Eye couldn't stop the body...
The moment Ganyu thought of this, her body could no longer support itself and she fell down... or to be more precise, she sat down like a duck.
The color of the black S has also changed, becoming darker.
Ganyu was distracted for a moment, and at that moment, she saw a yellow figure flash by.
? !
Did someone just go in?!
Just when Ganyu was puzzled, the timbre and tone of the concerto in the room changed!
It's like a different person!
Ganyu also understood that someone had really entered the room just now, and that person was definitely the Traveler... There were actually three of them!
This is too...
