Genshin Impact, but the chat group

Ningguang was even more confused; the more she listened, the less she understood.

"At the time, I thought it was impossible, and I even asked Zhongli, who was also present, about the possibility. Zhongli's answer was that it was very possible!"

Ke Qing gritted her teeth at the mention of Zhong Li.

"I admire Zhongli's knowledge, but I never expected that he would be in cahoots with you!"

Together?

In Ningguang's guess, Zhongli should be a reclusive immortal, and Li Yue is also an immortal, so why are the two of them in cahoots? And why did Li Yue attack the Emperor, and even succeed in doing so? Can you please explain this clearly? What exactly is going on?

"You told me that the so-called Emperor would fake his death, and even told me so many stories about the Emperor, all so that I would take you to the Jade Capital Terrace today, so that you could make your arrangements, right!"

Ke Qing took out the Dragon's Roar from the box and pointed it at Li Yue.

"And once you've made the arrangements, you can accomplish what you want to do: seize the Emperor's power!"

"Keqing, you've grown up. I'm so happy."

Li Yue's tone remained gentle, but this gentle tone sent chills down Ke Qing's spine.

"But you're still not smart enough. There are some things you've misunderstood. Let me tell you my complete plan."

Li Yue landed directly next to the dragon's corpse, looking at it with disdain.

"From the very beginning, Zhongli has been mine!"

As Li Yue spoke, she drew her sword and slashed out a portal. On the other side of the portal, Zhong Li stood expressionless, while Li Yue spoke softly in a voice only the two of them could hear.

"Zhongli, come over and cooperate. This is the request of Yan Wang Dijun Zuo. Please help me."

Zhongli: ???

Did I just shoot myself in the foot? Zhong Li's heart was breaking, but there was nothing he could do. Li Yue had already called his name, so he could only grit his teeth and walk out of the portal, standing expressionlessly beside Li Yue.

“A long time ago, I sent him to infiltrate Liyue Harbor so that he could keep an eye on everything in Liyue Harbor, especially everything related to the Geo Archon, from the time of each Geo Archon’s summoning ceremony to the process of the Geo Archon’s descent, not missing a single detail.”

Li Yue, carrying the Yama Blade, strolled slowly around the dragon's corpse, explaining as she went.

"After confirming all of the Rock King's habits, Zhongli began to do the second thing, which was to study the magic of the Liyue immortals. The Rock King is the ancestor of all immortals, and the immortals led by the Rock King are most skilled in sealing magic. What Zhongli had to do was to learn these sealing magic and then use it to seal the Rock King who created these sealing magic!"

"Impossible! How could the Emperor be sealed by the magic he created!"

A loyal fan of the Twin-Tailed Emperor Emperor offered a rebuttal.

“That’s right, how could the magic created by the Emperor possibly seal him? But what if the power that seals him is even stronger than the Emperor himself?”

Li Yue pointed to the Yujing Terrace beneath her feet.

"Liyue Harbor is truly a wonderful place. When the Geo Archon established Liyue Harbor, he must have known that there were vast ley lines beneath it! And the energy contained within those vast ley lines even surpasses that of a Demon God!"

"I had Zhongli weave a special spell based on the immortals' techniques, which can continuously draw power from the earth's veins, day after day, year after year, accumulating it for a full sixty years."

"What?! Sixty years!"

Zhong Li's eye twitched slightly.

"That's right, a full sixty years. I had Zhongli lie low in Liyue Harbor for sixty years. During that time, he had to change his identity many times. And during those sixty years, because there was a huge ley line beneath Liyue Harbor, even the Geo Archon couldn't detect anything unusual. Until this year, he finally accumulated enough energy!"

Li Yue looked at Ningguang next to Ke Qing.

“The Heavenly Star personally summoned the Rock King Emperor, making him enter this trap that was specially designed for him sixty years ago.”

Ningguang's heart sank instantly, and she swayed. Was it she who had killed the Emperor?

"Ningguang!"

Keqing sensed Ningguang's movement beside her and immediately reached out to support her.

"Don't believe what he says. Whoever summons the Emperor today will fall into his trap. It has nothing to do with you!"

"That's right. It doesn't matter who summons the Emperor today; they will all lead the Rock King Emperor into my trap and transform him into my power!"

"So, you obtained the Emperor's power through this trap?"

Ningguang stared coldly at Li Yue.

"That's right, the Rock King Emperor is also very powerful. He knew he had fallen into the trap the moment he entered it, and he even discovered that I was the one who cast the trap. So he immediately attacked me, wanting to finish me off as soon as possible. But what he didn't know was that the more he struggled, the faster the power would be converted!"

"And all I have to do is simply move my feet a little, exhaust him to struggle, until finally, his strength and life are all mine!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a large number of blue threads suddenly appeared on Li Yue's body, binding him tightly. At the same time, a purple lightning bolt suddenly appeared next to Zhong Li, and the Dragon Roar from the Box struck Zhong Li's neck.

"Don't move, or I might accidentally tighten the threads."

A figure slowly emerged behind Li Yue, holding a large handful of silk threads in her right hand. These threads were wrapped around Li Yue's body.

"Oh? They approached me without my knowledge."

Li Yue remained calm.

"Could it be that you are the legendary intelligence expert, Ye Lan?"

"Oh dear, I never expected that the murderer who plotted against the Emperor would actually know about someone as insignificant as me."

Ye Lan laughed.

"In my opinion, you are no small fry. After all, a small fry wouldn't be able to tie me up so easily."

As Li Yue spoke, she looked at Zhong Li, who was being held to the neck by Ke Qing with a sword.

"It seems that neither I nor Zhongli can move. I was hoping that you would come to save me, Zhongli."

"That's a bit of a pipe dream."

Ye Lan tightened the silk thread slightly, and Li Yue's throat was even cut.

"Well, there's nothing we can do about that. Speaking of Zhongli, how do you feel about being pointed at with a sword by our familiar Miss Keqing?"

Zhongli was utterly speechless at Li Yue's question. He now deeply regretted ever thinking of dragging Li Yue into this mess; the way this guy came up with to confirm his own death was just too...

Although she was inwardly cursing, Zhongli outwardly cooperated and gave a reply.

"Miss Yuhengxing's speed is much faster than I expected; I didn't even have time to react."

"Don't talk to me like that! You're not the Zhongli I know at all!"

Hearing Zhongli's calm voice as always, Ke Qing felt only anger. How could she have thought this voice was so learned and even admired it before! This guy cooperated with Li Yue to kill the Emperor. Now she only wanted to tear this guy named Zhongli to pieces!

"Is this not the Zhongli you know anymore? What a pity. That's your illusion, Miss Keqing. The Zhongli you know never existed in the first place."

"So when we start, we won't hesitate at all."

Yelan gave her own answer.

"What a pity, both Miss Yelan and Miss Keqing wish we were dead."

Li Yue smiled as she looked at Naxida, who was still standing in the same spot.

"But unfortunately, today is not the day we die."

After saying that, Zhongli, who was being held at sword length by Keqing, and Li Yue, who was bound by silk threads, suddenly disappeared.

"what!"

"What about people?"

Ke Qing and Ye Lan both stared in surprise at the empty space in front of them.

"There they are!"

Paimon, standing in the crowd, pointed to the rocks behind Yujingtai, where Li Yue, Zhongli, and Naxida suddenly appeared.

"It's that little girl! Oh no, I forgot about her!"

Ke Qing immediately noticed Naxida, who was clasping her hands together and emitting a green light. It must have been this little girl who rescued Li Yue and Zhong Li!

"Get 'em!"

Ningguang immediately gave the order, while throwing a string of gems at Li Yue and Zhong Li. Keqing also transformed into lightning and pounced on Zhong Li, while Yelan directly drew her bow and shot an arrow at Li Yue from a distance.

But all of this was in vain!

"Sure as a rock!"

Li Yue raised his hand, and a huge transparent shield appeared around him, enveloping him, Zhongli, and Naxida. It deflected Ningguang's attack, Keqing's lightning, and Yelan's arrows.

"This is!"

Ke Qing stared in shock at the enormous shield that Li Yue had deployed.

"This is the power of the Rock King Emperor."

Li Yue withdrew her left hand.

"Unfortunately, I'm not very skilled at using this power yet, so I'll let you off the hook for now."

"The objective has been achieved; there's no need to waste any more time here."

As Li Yue spoke, she turned her head and slashed at the air. The teleportation portal opened inside the shield, and Zhong Li quickly stepped into it, not wanting to stay even a second longer. Naxi Da followed closely behind, tilting her head.

Li Yue also prepared to go in after the two went in.

"Li Yue!"

Ke Qing looked up at Li Yue and shouted.

"Why did you try to seize the Emperor's power! What is your purpose in doing this!"

Li Yue turned around and looked down at Ke Qing. For some reason, he was now wearing black-rimmed glasses.

"For a higher realm!"

"A higher realm?"

"That's right!"

Li Yue slowly took off her glasses.

"No one has ever stood in the heavens from the beginning, neither you nor I, nor even God, but the unbearable vacancy of the throne of heaven is about to end."

"From this day forward, I will stand above the heavens!"

With a snap, the glasses were crushed. Li Yue swept her loose hair back, turning it into a slicked-back hairstyle. Her gentle smile instantly turned cold.

Li Yue turned around, slowly walked into the portal, and faced the crowd from the side.

"Goodbye, everyone, goodbye, Miss Keqing. As far as humans are concerned, you are quite interesting..."
