Chapter 222: Emperor Killed (Two in One)

Liyue Harbor, Yujing Terrace.

The mighty Qianyan Army maintained order at the "Ceremony of Inviting the Immortals" venue and guided people to stand in dispersed positions in an orderly manner to avoid crowding.

In the center of the spacious Yujing Terrace, there is something like a large incense burner.

There is also a stone table in front, on which are placed various exquisite foods as offerings to Emperor Rock. It seems that the time to "invite the immortals" has not yet arrived, and one of the seven stars who will preside over the ceremony this year has not appeared yet.

When Li Qiuzhi and his friends arrived here, the entire Yujing Terrace was already surrounded by circles of people coming to watch the fun.

Ying stood on tiptoe and looked around, but could only see the heads of the people in front of her.

"Wow, there are so many people. Let's go a little further ahead. We can't see clearly from here."

Paimon flew in easily in mid-air, and Ying also wanted to squeeze in when seeing this.

But a strange man in a dark green shirt in front of her blocked her way with his body, not giving her a chance to squeeze in, and glared at Ying from top to bottom:
"Go away, go away. You can't see it, but I can't see it either. If you have the ability, just fly over like that elf."

"If you don't want to let me go, then don't let me go. What's the big deal? You are such an impolite person!"

Ying clenched her hands slightly, placed them on her waist, and glared back without any courtesy.

"Hmph, I won't bother with a little girl like you." The man in green crossed his arms and turned his head away without paying any attention to Ying.

"Humph!"

Ying also snorted coldly, and ignored the rude guy in front of her with a stern face.

"Haha, there's no need to get angry with him. If you can't see him, you can open your wind wings and I'll use the wind element to blow you over, how about that?"

Li Qiuzhi came up with a good idea.

"Well, please." The fluorescent amber pupils lit up slightly.

She seemed to feel that this would work, so she nodded her head slightly, her golden hair shaking slightly as she spoke.

"Okay, wait a moment."

With Li Qiuzhi's current strength, he can still guide the wind element to form a small wind field.

He retreated to an empty space with few people, and the surrounding wind elements gathered in Li Qiuzhi's palm like young swallows returning to their nests.

Eventually, a mini wind field with rising air currents is formed.

He then placed the mini wind field on the ground and continuously input wind elements to slowly expand it to about one meter wide and high.

After completing the production of the wind field, Li Qiuzhi stopped inputting wind elements and gave Ying a signal with his eyes.

Ying nodded to show that she understood.

She spread her wings of wind with a "flick" sound, jumped lightly into the wind, and flew two or three meters high easily like a kite facing the wind.

But their noise was a little too loud and attracted the attention of a Thousand Rocks soldier who was maintaining order.

"Hey! You two! You are not allowed to use elemental power in Yujingtai venue to avoid danger. Please stop!"

The Qianyan soldier stood at the door and shouted at Li Qiuzhi and the others from afar.

It was this sudden shout that startled Li Qiuzhi a little. The continuous input of wind elements into the small wind field was cut off, and the wind field slowly dissipated.

Ying, who had not yet maintained her balance in mid-air, suddenly lost control of the Wind Wings and fell down.

"ah!"

Ying couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise. Just when she thought she was going to fall, Li Qiuzhi below reacted and stretched out his hands to catch her.

A heavy body fell into his arms, and both the left hand that was around the girl's shoulders and the right hand that was pressed by her calf gave him a soft and warm touch.

"You bastard, there are so many people watching me, put me down now."

There was a slight blush on Ying's fair face. She looked at Li Qiuzhi who was holding her for a long time and was unwilling to let go, and subconsciously pinched his belly.

"Uh, sorry."

Li Qiuzhi felt the gentle force coming from his lower abdomen and gently put her down.

"Humph."

Ying stood up straight, rolled her eyes at him, and walked to the side.

See if there is a chance to go to the front of the venue and stop Li Qiuzhi from having any bad ideas.

[Ying has developed a favorable impression of you, gaining 160 points of favorable impression, and the current favorable impression level is Lv.8 (165/800)]

If Li Qiuzhi hadn’t seen the prompt on the character panel, he would have thought Ying was really angry.

He turned around and apologized to the Qianyan soldier, then followed Ying to see if there was a chance to get to the front.

After all, there were so many people that it was difficult to see what was ahead.

"Hey, why are you still outside? The 'Heavenly Power Star' Master Ningguang, who is hosting this year's 'Ceremony of Inviting the Immortals', has come out!"

Paimon watched in front for a long time until "Tianquanxing" appeared.

The ceremony seemed to be about to begin but Li Qiuzhi and Ying hadn't appeared yet, so he quickly flew out to find them and reminded them.

"There are so many people here that it's hard to get to the front. How about you, Paimon, pull us up to the sky one by one to see?"

Ying glanced at Paimon's hands thoughtfully and said.

"I can't do it. No matter how hard I think about it, I can't do it!"

Paimon retorted angrily.

I didn't expect Ying to come up with such a bad idea. Does she look like she has the strength to pull up two living people? Really!
"Okay, Paimon, look around and see where the gap is bigger. I can find a way to squeeze in."

Li Qiuzhi said with a smile.

"Hey, that's no problem." Paimon nodded when he heard that she didn't need to use brute force, and flew higher to take a look around. Then he said with bright eyes, "I found it, follow me."

Paimon flew to the left, and Li Qiuzhi and Ying quickly followed.

Finally they found a pillar at the edge of the crowd that separated them slightly.

Seeing this, Li Qiuzhi used his strengthened mental power, which could now extend five meters, to slowly and casually push the crowd away.

Then he quickly pulled Ying and took advantage of every opportunity to get to the front.

The venue of the "Ceremony of Inviting the Immortals" which is about to begin is completely within view.

Standing in front of the incense burner stone table is a tall lady who looks extremely dignified and wears an elegant cheongsam made of white as the base and gold as the secondary and black as the embellishment.

A dark wooden hairpin slightly curled her long, smooth platinum hair.

The long hair forks at the back, following the graceful curves of the cheongsam and the hem of the cheongsam all the way down to the snow-white calves.

Ningguang covered her forehead with her right hand covered with a black long-sleeved glove. Her vermilion pupils looked at the brighter sun through the golden glove, confirming that it was now in the middle of the sky, representing the position of noon.

She put her hands down again, gently folded them in front of her cheongsam-covered belly, and said simply in a voice that was both dignified and gentle:
"The auspicious time has come."

Finished.

The two young women beside her who seemed to be there to help also bowed slightly and stepped back.

Ningguang's body emanated a faint golden color of rock element, and then several palm-sized amber gems were easily created and began to rotate around her body.

She waved her left hand, and several amber gems left a trail of rock elements and flew towards the incense burner on the huge stone table. After circling around it several times quickly, Ningguang made a hand seal, and several gems suddenly crashed into the incense burner at the same time.

In less than three seconds, the incense burner shook.

A huge golden beam of light shot straight into the sky. In an instant, the wind and clouds changed suddenly. The sky began to spin like a whirlpool, and the sky became dark.

"Is the Rock King's appearance always so grand?"

Paimon, like everyone else, looked up at the sky curiously.

"Something seems a little off. When the Emperor appeared two years ago, it wasn't so chaotic."

A young man next to Li Qiuzhi whispered.

"Oh, has something unexpected happened?" Li Qiuzhi replied casually.

Ningguang in the field also seemed to feel something strange.

She looked up into the sky along the golden beam of light.

Just as I was about to observe what was happening, suddenly a huge black shadow fell from the clouds at an extremely fast speed.

"boom!"

The incense burner and the stone table were smashed in an instant. After a cloud of dust, everyone saw a half-scale, half-dragon creature lying in the ruins.

"What, what's going on?"

"It seems like Lord Emperor fell from the sky!"

Ying and Paimon heard the discussions around them, and they opened their eyes slightly wide and looked at the creature lying in the ruins in front of them, looking very surprised.

They wanted to meet the Rock King, but they didn't expect it to be in this way.

Ningguang took two steps forward in her black high heels, then squatted on one knee without her snow-white knees touching the ground. With a serious expression, she observed the Rock King who was in half-unicorn, half-dragon form.

Soon.

She finally came to a conclusion that even she couldn't believe.

"The emperor has been killed, the whole place is sealed off!"

Ningguang stood up again and quickly gave orders to the many Thousand Rocks soldiers who were maintaining order.

Nothing happened to Emperor Yanwang early or late, but something unexpected happened at noon when the "Ceremony of Inviting the Immortals" was being held.

In this case, the murderer who murdered the emperor was most likely among the crowd watching the ceremony.

"Wait, what's going on now!"

Paimeng looked at the scene which suddenly became turbulent and felt himself getting confused. That "Tianquan Star" actually said "the Emperor was murdered"!
"What should I do? They're going to question someone who looks suspicious next!"

Paimon showed a worried look. It was actually quite suspicious that they were too close to the scene.

"I wonder if this god is the murderer who kidnapped my brother. In case of any danger, we must leave here quickly and not be caught by them."

Ying became a little nervous. She looked towards the circular moon gate on the other side of the Yujingtai wall and was about to take a step to escape towards that side.

She suddenly felt her hand being pulled and she couldn't move it.

Turning back, he saw that it was Li Qiuzhi and couldn't help but asked in confusion: "What are you doing? If you don't run, you will fall into their hands."

Li Qiuzhi, who knew the plot, quickly pulled Ying over and put his other hand around her waist, just like a couple.

This way she didn't pretend to run away and arouse suspicion.

"Hey, it's already this time and you're still like this!"

Ying put her hands on Li Qiuzhi's chest and tried to push him away.

Normally, she wouldn't care much about his intimate behavior, but now that she was in crisis, she was really a little angry.

"No, if you run away now, wouldn't that just send the message that 'I am the murderer'? Liyue Harbor is so big, there are so many Thousand Rocks troops, and there are also the unfathomable 'Liyue Seven Stars'. Where can you run to?

"Anyway, we are not the murderer, so we just need to answer their questions like everyone else. We are honorary knights of the Knights of Favonius. They can't detain us without evidence. This will cause diplomatic problems!"

Li Qiuzhi couldn't say that he knew that Emperor Yanwang's death was fake.

He wants to become a retired old man who can wander the streets whenever he wants and bring a little bit of change to Liyue.

So he still held Ying tightly and didn't let her break free.

It would be terrible if the final result was that I was still wanted by the Qianyan Army.

Knowing that it could be avoided, Li Qiuzhi would not allow it to happen.

"Yes, Ying, I feel like what this guy said makes a little sense."

Paimon thought about it with his little brain.

Although Ying's worries are not unreasonable, I feel that what Li Qiuzhi said is not wrong.

After all, they are not the murderers, and running away like this would be an unwise move.

"If we are really wanted by Liyue, the most prosperous country in Teyvat, then running away to anywhere seems to be useless, and it will greatly interfere with your journey to find your brother!"

Although Paimon thinks about all kinds of delicious food all day long, he is not stupid.

In times of crisis like this, we can still analyze and judge the interests of the matter clearly.

Listening to Paimeng's words, Ying slowly loosened the strength of her hands that were pressing on Li Qiuzhi's chest. She was not an unintelligent person and she was just in a hurry just now.

Now that I have calmed down and thought about it carefully, I found that they were right and that I was a little anxious.

"Okay, I got it, let go of your hand."

Ying's pretty fair face turned red with embarrassment.

Although he understood what was going on, he still felt a little embarrassed, so he could only step on Li Qiuzhi to vent his anger on him.

[Ying has developed a favorable impression of you, gaining 260 points of favorable impression, and the current favorable impression level is Lv.8 (425/800)]

Well, seeing that Ying was unexpectedly cute and said one thing but meant another, Li Qiuzhi tactfully did not continue to hug her, but he took this opportunity to hold her hand and did not let go.

Ying just twitched slightly symbolically, and when she found that it didn't work, she just pretended to be angry and turned her face away without taking any further action.

"Hmm? You two?"

Paimeng looked at the two people holding hands, and suddenly widened his eyes as if he had thought of something, and then stared at Li Qiuzhi:
"Well, you playboy, aren't you and Fischl already a couple? Why are you still thinking about hitting on Ying?"

"Well, she probably won't mind."

In response to Paimeng's questioning, Li Qiuzhi touched his cheek with his other hand and looked away, not meeting her gaze.

This is the benefit of having a high favorability.

Both Fischl and Ying are quite tolerant towards Li Qiuzhi. At least they don't care how many lovers he has.

At this time, Qianyan Army also discovered that Li Qiuzhi and the others were relatively suspicious people, and walked towards them to interrogate them.

After all, Paimon, a humanoid elf in the eyes of outsiders, gives people a relatively conspicuous and special feeling.
