A momentary lapse in judgment left the wealthy man without any leverage to manipulate Ningguang, and the madwoman began to recklessly suppress the Northern Bank, which was already struggling to gain a foothold in Liyue.
The rich man could only focus his attention on Inazuma, but unexpectedly, he also encountered Ningguang's people there.
Without the advantage of home territory, the rich are not afraid of Ningguang, but they have also sensed another force that they cannot resist.
The Anemo Archon of Mondstadt.
Sometimes, that person would join in...
After Inazuma issued the lockdown order, the power that the wealthy feared gradually disappeared.
However, the isolation edict also prevented wealthy individuals, who were executives of the Fools' Clan, from entering Inazuma.
After the witch completed her mission in Liyue, the Queen arranged for her to go to Inazuma to carry out another mission to steal the Heart of God.
Before leaving, the rich man specifically asked the witch to help him bring someone back.
But later, the witch didn't bring back the man; she brought back a corpse.
His own corpse.
Since then, Ningguang has become even more unscrupulous in her suppression of the Northern Bank, completely disregarding Liyue's economic situation.
In the midst of their frantic chaos, the Queen revealed two pieces of information to all the executives, and the wealthy man immediately understood the reason for Ningguang's madness.
The first piece of news was that the little follower she cared about had died.
The second piece of news is that someone used some kind of power to bring the little follower back to life.
However, because of that person's interference, the madwoman was unaware of this news.
Therefore, with the wealthy man's special attention, he obtained some intelligence.
Inatsume's priest wanted to revive that little follower, but the madwoman, after learning this information, wanted to use the power of the Layered Rock Abyss to intercept him halfway.
Years of maneuvering have made it clear to the wealthy what Ningguang is thinking.
The little follower died in Inazuma, so the people of Inazuma no longer had the right to take care of the little follower.
Chapter 199 Exclusive Nickname: Big Wooden Head
Above Ningguang's plan was a plan devised by the wealthy.
Although his henchman has been resurrected, the rich man knows that fragments of his soul still exist within the World Tree.
So he commissioned a doctor he had worked with before to find information about his sidekick based on his numerous biopsies.
At the same time, the Doctor will also interfere with Ningguang's plans, using this as leverage to threaten Ningguang in front of him.
Plans can't keep up with changes, but the rich know that most plans don't change.
The wealthy never imagined that the plan they devised would be only a small part of it.
What appeared in the Abyss of Layered Rocks was not a fragment of the little follower's soul, but a consciousness that was barely intact.
Fortunately, this did not affect the rich man's plans.
As leverage against Ningguang, a conscious entity is far better than a soul fragment without subjective consciousness.
Thinking of this, the rich man smiled even more kindly, and then wanted to say something.
However, before he could speak, he felt a tightness around his waist.
A pulling force came, and the rich man immediately felt his vision blur.
When she came to her senses, the white-haired, red-eyed Ningguang was no longer in front of her.
Ye Lan held a pale blue silk thread, and in the moonlight, her eyes gleamed with a chilling light.
Another unexpected turn of events; the rich man forgot that Ningguang had an accomplice standing beside her.
The rich man's gaze subtly drifted toward Ningguang not far away.
The arm that had been pushed away by the rich man grabbed Mu Xian once again as he tried to return to the earth's veins.
Having failed to catch her, Mu Xian was forced to stop. Ning Guang's repeated attempts made Mu Xian a little impatient.
Mu Xian drew his sword without holding back; even a conscious being could feel its fierce aura.
The blade was aimed at Ningguang's head, and Mu Xian's gaze remained fixed on the spot where Bu Yanshan had landed.
He saw Ningguang's expression; the coldness she had shown when looking at the rich man hadn't faded, but he could see the determination in her eyes.
Even though the unspoken kindness was gradually becoming more prominent in her mind...
The back of the knife drooped down, followed by drops of blood falling to the ground.
Mu Xian didn't know how Ning Guang came into contact with the consciousness, but he could feel the grip on his wrist getting tighter and tighter.
Anxiety welled up in Mu Xian's heart.
Ningguang maintained the same expression as before, but she smiled at Mu Xian.
Completely oblivious to the wound on his forehead, completely oblivious to the pain from the wound.
Blood flowed from the wound, dripping down her cheeks, making Ningguang's smile look particularly disheveled.
"Are you relieved?"
Ningguang said, "If you're still not satisfied... you can continue."
Mu Xian didn't speak, his eyes lowered as he looked at the silent benevolence in his hand.
Feeling relieved?
Mu Xian looked at Ning Guang's bloodied smile and felt a little annoyed.
He had no idea who he was smiling at.
After all... that expression really looked awful.
He grabbed Ningguang's right hand, trying to shake off her arm.
But Mu Xian never expected Ning Guang to use so much force.
She was still holding Mu Xian's arm, still wearing that same smile.
The next instant, the power that appeared in Ningguang's hand made Mu Xian momentarily dazed.
In a daze, Mu Xian felt something hug him, and then a voice came to his ear.
"My little brother's body is still so warm."
"So, let's go home... let's go home."
The sound seemed to carry some kind of power, a power that was about to blur Mu Xian's consciousness.
However, Mu Xian, whose consciousness was fading, managed to muster his strength.
Knowing what was really going on, he used all his strength to push away the person who was holding him.
A white figure receding into the distance appeared in Mu Xian's already blurred vision.
The figure tried to come closer, but Mu Xian blocked its path with the tip of his silent blade.
What stopped the figure from continuing forward was not just swords and blades, but also eyes sharper than blades.
Mu Xian no longer cared about hiding his disgust in front of Ning Guang, and stared intently at her with his eyes gradually turning deep red.
"Walk..."
Mu Xian, struggling to stay conscious, whispered, only to see the figure in front of him seem to have taken a step forward.
"I told you to get out of here!"
His voice was low, but he couldn't suppress the emotions in it, making it clear to everyone around him.
As Ye Lan confronted the wealthy man, her pupils slowly dilated, then quickly returned to normal.
She continued to stare at the rich man, but her expression became complicated.
Upon hearing those words, the wealthy man whom Ye Lan had stopped slightly opened his narrowed eyes.
It seemed that one could glimpse the keen interest hidden in his smile through the gap.
His gaze passed over Ye Lan and fell on Ning Guang. He saw Ning Guang's whole body tremble slightly, and then she stood quietly in place.
The two people with their backs to Ningguang couldn't see her expression, and Mu Xian, who was facing Ningguang, also couldn't see her expression.
However, Mu Xian didn't care and turned to walk towards the entrance of the ley line.
One step, two steps...
Following the pull of the earth's veins, Mu Xian quickly entered them. A sense of tranquility enveloped him, just like when he died for the first time.
Mu Xian, his consciousness hazy, lay on the ley lines, and he could feel an attraction emanating from afar within them.
That is the direction of Mount Sumeru.
It seems that the Great Tree King has finally realized what was happening and is gradually gathering the extracted souls back into the World Tree.
Seeing this, Mu Xian simply went with the flow and took out the light points he had put away.
The light spot remained a hazy gray color. It tried to merge into Mu Xian's body, but Mu Xian kept rejecting it from entering.
After several failed attempts, it seemed somewhat disappointed and slowly crawled into Mu Xian's sleeve.
Seeing this, Mu Xian went with it.
As his raised right hand was about to fall, Mu Xian felt a warmth coming from his wrist.
The sudden warmth made Mu Xian turn his gaze, and what he saw was a pair of eyes with plum blossom-shaped pupils.
Those eyes seemed to be smiling, smiling as they looked at Mu Xian lying on the earth's veins.
The sudden appearance of the black shadow surprised Mu Xian, but he quickly recovered.
He tried to get up, but his consciousness gradually faded and he lay back down.
After struggling in vain, Mu Xian quickly closed his eyes, and then a warm feeling slowly welled up in his head.
The warmth in my head seemed to carry some kind of power, gradually dispelling the previous blurring of consciousness.
He didn't know how much time had passed when he opened his eyes and was met with the eyes of the black figure from before.
Her red plum blossom eyes seemed to be smiling mischievously, completely unlike the weak appearance Mu Xian had imagined.
