Genshin Impact short video: The death sentence at the start terrifies Fou.

That's fine, Ying thought.

Before the invocation ceremony began, she wandered around and found that there were many Qianyan soldiers present, which meant that Qixing must also attach great importance to the words in "Footprints".

Just in case, she planned her escape route in advance.

Ying's current position is excellent; it's far from the crowd, yet she can still see Ningguang in the arena.

Before long, the crowd gradually quieted down.

Ningguang glanced at the sun and announced that the auspicious time had arrived.

She activated the power of the Geo Eye, pouring several gems into the sacrificial cauldron.

In an instant, a beam of orange light shot through the sky, and the clouds began to churn and condense into a tornado.

After several claps of thunder, everyone thought it was the Emperor descending.

Unexpectedly, the Rock King Emperor's body crashed heavily onto the sacrificial altar!

Ningguang frowned slightly and glanced at Ying in the distance.

He quickly withdrew his gaze and approached the Emperor's corpse to examine it.

The people below were buzzing with discussion. They had all seen the video, but few believed it was real.

After all, the Emperor is the oldest deity and is also known as the God of War. How could he be someone who could be murdered?

But now, it has still happened.

"The emperor has been killed! Lock down the whole place!"

Ying exclaimed in alarm, because she sensed that most of the Thousand Rock Army had already locked onto her.

She won't take the blame for this.

"Paimon, run!"

"what?"

Ying sped off at an incredible speed toward the route she had just scouted.

"Quickly, chase them! Catch them!"

Ying leaped down from the high platform, but there were simply too many Qianyan soldiers. It seemed that the Seven Stars had already set up an array to wait for her to arrive.

She drew her Windhawk Sword, ready to clear a path, but before she could even make a move, the Thousand Rock Army opposite her was driven back by arrows flying from the shadows.

Is this all the fighting power of the Thousand Rock Army is?

The young master jumped down from the roof beam; it was he who had just helped.

"Oh, I didn't expect you to actually dare to come."

Before the two could exchange more than a few words, Qian Yanjun caught up with them: "Quick! Keep up!"

"follow me."

The two followed the young master and fled the scene.

"I think I should introduce myself. I am the Executor of the Fools, Young Master."

"What do you want? I don't have a good impression of you Fools."

Ying watched the young master warily.

"It's because of the woman, to be honest, I don't like that woman either."

The young master changed the subject, "Alright, let's all forget about what that woman did for now! I'm here to help you."

"help?"

"Hey, I'm an executor of the Fatui, don't be so disrespectful. I'm not a bad guy... well, I guess I am, but I'm not here to cause you trouble."

Ying thought for a moment and concluded that she and the Fool's Enforcer in front of her were probably the prime suspects.

Since I didn't do it myself, I might as well see what this young master is up to.

The two followed the young master to the Northern Bank.

"Here, here you go."

The young master took out something that resembled a talisman.

"This is?"

"Who knows? Sometimes, money can only buy 'things,' but not 'names.'"

He continued, "Simply put, this is a token. It's a token that will prevent the 'Three-Eyed Five-Manifestation Immortal' from harming you."

Ying was somewhat skeptical: "Are you sure? When the video was playing, I felt like they were all about to make a move."

"But they didn't do anything, did they?"

"Heading north out of the city, west of Guili Plain, there is a stone forest. Its name is Jueyunjian. The people of Liyue believe that it is the location of the immortals' abode."

Ying asked, "Why are we going to find the immortals?"

"The Seven Stars have dispatched the Thousand Rocks Army to search for an assassin among the spectators. Can a mortal assassinate that God of War who swept through thousands of armies? The Rock King Emperor has never abandoned his divine power."

"This crude response is not up to their usual standard and is highly questionable. Especially considering there was a video warning."

The young master explained the pros and cons, and it seemed that Seven Stars was hiding something.

Ying agreed to deliver the message to the immortal.

Otherwise, if the Seven Stars catch him, no matter what they're hiding, he'll be the one to take the blame.

------

Ying arrived at Jueyun.

A deer emerged. "You must be the travelers from the video. What brings you to Jueyun Pass?"

Ying looked at the immortal before him; he seemed unaware of the news of the Rock King Emperor's murder.

She took out the "Treasure Book of No Taboos" and told the truth about the situation.

"The Liyue Seven Stars, this is outrageous! After watching that video, this still happened, and they're even trying to pin the suspicion on the ordinary people at the scene?!"

Ying looked at him and asked, "Don't you suspect me? I was not only there, but I also have that video..."

“Traveler, I can’t sense the killer’s presence on you, and besides, you have the Unfettered Talisman. I will help you with the matter of being falsely accused of being an assassin.”

Afterwards, following the instructions of the True Lord of Shaving the Moon and Building the Sun, Ying successively found the True Lord of Managing Water and Stacking Mountains, the True Lord of Leaving Clouds and Borrowing Wind, and Xiao from Wangshu Inn.

He then relayed the information to all the immortals.

------

On her way back to the Northern Bank, Ying found things increasingly strange.

Why is it that the immortals appear angry on the surface, but don't seem to be truly angry?

Moreover, they were all blaming the Liyue Seven Stars, even though they were the prime suspects right in front of them.

Just like that day in the video, the immortals' gazes all disappeared at a certain moment.

Could it be that the Rock King Emperor said something nice to him?

Interlude to Chapter 80: Farewell to the Long-Awaited Body (Part Two)

Interlude: Farewell to a Long-Awaited Body (Part Two)

Ying returned to the Northern Bank and reported her experiences along the way to the young master.

However, she did not explicitly state the immortals' attitude towards her.

The young master hasn't been idle during this time either; he went to investigate the Seven Stars of Liyue.

The Seven Stars' behavior was indeed very strange; they even tried to cover up the news of the Rock King Emperor's murder.

However, such a bombshell announcement could not possibly be prevented.

Finally, the young master revealed to Ying that he could let Ying see the "Immortal Ancestor's Manifestation," but it would have to wait until tomorrow.

------

After that, Ying followed the young master and found Zhongli.

In order to see the body of the Rock God, preparations for the "Sending Off the Immortal Ceremony" began.

Along the way, Ying finally witnessed Mr. Zhongli's 'power' and how important the Sending-Off-Immortals Ceremony he himself had mentioned was.

But when he started working, he didn't bring a single molar with him.

While preparing these items, Ying also met many Liyue people from the videos, such as Bai Shu and Qi Qi.

Everyone is familiar with Ying, and things are done very quickly.

After preparations were nearly complete, Zhongli hosted a feast at "Three Bowls and No Port" for Ying and Paimeng.

I also listened to Tian Tiezui's storytelling about Ningguang, which gave me some understanding of Ningguang.

Just after they finished listening, Gan Yu arrived and invited Yingmei and Paimeng to a gathering at Qunyu Pavilion.

------

After experiencing a few minor setbacks, Ying and Paimon arrived at Qunyu Pavilion with small gifts.

Along the way, they also discovered the truth about the unrestricted taboos.

Ningguang was quite frank; she had started paying attention to Ying ever since the video appeared.

Especially after the dragon disaster was resolved, Jean informed Ningguang of this information.

Therefore, when the two were at the stone gate, they were already within Ningguang's sights.

Not to mention Wangshu Inn, which is full of Ningguang's people.

The purpose of this invitation is mainly to clarify the misunderstanding between us.

Ying learned about the Demon God War and the origins of the Seven Kingdoms from Ningguang.

“That day at Yujingtai, although we were prepared, it still happened. You were there at the time, so you should have seen it all.”

Ying: "I see. Weren't you guarding against me? You even mobilized so many Thousand Rock Army soldiers."

“Do you really think so?” Ningguang continued, “The Seven Stars’ enemies have already been lurking in Liyue Harbor. If we don’t hide the Immortal Ancestor’s Dharma Body, we will definitely be at a disadvantage.”
