Genshin Impact, but the chat group

The portal then closed, and the outer golden shield shattered, leaving only an empty mountain.

The people present looked at the empty rocks, then at the cold dragon corpse in the center of the altar, and realized that it was all real, not a dream.

The Geo Archon, who had lived for six thousand years and ruled Liyue for three thousand seven hundred years, has fallen, and the most terrible criminal in Teyvat's history has been born!

The entire Jade Capital Terrace was instantly thrown into chaos. Only Ying and Paimon, who were outsiders, were somewhat bewildered, and Paimon couldn't help but ask Ying a question.

"Haven't we seen that scene in Mondstadt before?"

96. Zhong Li and Li Yue, wanted criminals

The Rock Lord Morax has fallen!

This news simply cannot be suppressed, because there are just too many people who have come to Liyue Harbor today, and they come from all sorts of countries!

Ningguang couldn't possibly silence everyone on the Jade Capital Platform, much less lock them all up.

After a series of interrogations to check if there were any spies planted by Li Yue, Ningguang let them leave. Although it was supposed to be an investigation to see if there were any spies, it was just for show. Even if there were spies, she wouldn't be able to find them now.

Those who witnessed the fall of the Geo Archon immediately spread the news of his murder after leaving Yujingtai, causing the Liyue Harbor stock market to plummet! Merchants began to worry about the future of Liyue.

This time, it was different from Zhongli's original plan. In the original plan, Morax died suddenly, and no one knew what happened. There were even seven stars who said that the Emperor had encountered a calamity, which was why he died suddenly. The basic environment of Liyue Harbor was still okay. But this time, he was truly killed by having his power taken away in public.

There's no story about Ningguang being visited in a dream, nor was there any heavenly tribulation; it was purely a man-made disaster!

Zhongli, a guest elder of the Hall of Rebirth, had been lurking in Liyue for over sixty years, all for the sake of enabling Li Yue to seize the power of the Rock King today. The thought that such a terrifying guy usually just drinks tea, chats, and watches plays with everyone else sends chills down their spines!

Who would have thought that Zhongli, who always talks so eloquently with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would actually be such an evil person!

As news of Morax's murder spread, arrest warrants were naturally issued for the three perpetrators.

Three wanted posters were posted by the Liyue authorities. Every available notice board in Liyue Harbor was covered with them, and the Hall of Rebirth received special attention!

"Zhongli and Li Yue assassinated the Rock King Emperor? And Naxida was their accomplice?"

Hu Tao stared wide-eyed at the three wanted posters on the wall at the entrance of the Rebirth Hall.

"It can't be real! How could they possibly assassinate Prince Yan!"

"It's all true. Li Yue and Zhong Li conspired to steal the power and life of the Rock King Emperor in front of everyone at Yujingtai, and even used the Emperor's power right in front of us!"

An enraged Keqing appeared before Kurumi with the Thousand Rock Army.

"Master Hu, you should understand what this means, right? They are enemies of Liyue! You've been deceived by Zhongli from beginning to end!"

Keqing solemnly recounted Zhongli and Liyue's crimes to Hutao, especially Zhongli's sixty-year-long ambush in Liyue Harbor, which greatly shocked Hutao.

Although Li Yue and Zhong Li are evil, there is nothing wrong with the Rebirth Hall where they live, because each generation of the Rebirth Hall is recorded. Hu Tao even grew up under the watchful eyes of the surrounding neighbors, making her a true local of Liyue Harbor, unlike Zhong Li and Li Yue, who appeared out of nowhere.

Moreover, Ke Qing had just investigated the records about the Hall of Rebirth. The Hall of Rebirth was even related to the Emperor in its history. This made Ke Qing understand why Zhongli and Li Yue both chose to stay in the Hall of Rebirth. Places related to the Emperor are better at deceiving others. This is the legendary saying that the most dangerous place is the safest place.

But Hu Tao hadn't seen the footage, so she still didn't believe that Zhong Li and Li Yue could do such a thing, especially Zhong Li. This guy was so lazy that he walked slowly; how could he have seriously infiltrated for sixty years?

"them..."

"They've escaped and left Liyue Harbor, but that doesn't mean we're safe. Li Yue's intentions are terrifying, and he might very well return to Liyue Harbor. So you must be extremely careful during this time, and if you discover any clues about them, be sure to tell us immediately!"

Ke Qing gave her serious instructions, but Hu Tao's expression was somewhat subtle.

Should I tell you that Li Yue, Zhong Li, and even Naxi Da are currently drinking tea and eating snacks in the backyard of the Rebirth Hall?

Hu Tao didn't go to Jade Capital Terrace, so she didn't know what had happened there. As usual, she took advantage of the crowds in Liyue Harbor to promote her meal packages on the streets. After failing to sell a single one, she returned to the Hall of Rebirth in despair, only to find Li Yue, Zhong Li, and Nasida whispering to each other. So she went over to them.

Before I could even speak, I heard a great commotion outside, so I went out to check it out, and that's when I encountered this situation.

"Hu Tao, remember this? Once they return to Liyue Harbor, be sure to let us know immediately!"

After giving Hu Tao another few instructions, Keqing led the Thousand Rock Army away in a hurry. The killing of the Rock Lord had caused chaos in Liyue Harbor, and she had to lead people to maintain order.

After watching Ke Qing and her group leave, Hu Tao glanced at the three wanted posters on the notice board one last time, and couldn't help but tilt her head and pop out a string of question marks.

Forget it, let's just go back and ask them what happened!

Hu Tao went straight back to the Hall of Rebirth, closed the main gate, and then rushed to the backyard, kicking open the backyard gate.

"Li Yue! Zhong Li! What exactly happened! What have you both done!"

Trusting Li Yue and Zhong Li, she didn't have any precautions against them, because she felt it was unnecessary. If they wanted to harm her, they would have done so when she returned, instead of making her leave the Hall of Rebirth again.

Li Yue and Zhong Li both looked at Hu Tao after she shouted.

"Hu Tao, you're back again! Have you heard about what's going on outside?"

Li Yue had a smile on her face, looking nothing like someone who had just killed the Emperor.

"I heard from Ke Qing that you two killed the Emperor? What exactly happened? Li Yue is one thing, but Zhong Li, how did you get involved too? Are you tired of living?"

Hu Tao put her hands on her hips and looked at Zhong Li with a puzzled expression.

Zhong Li's lips twitched slightly, and she looked at Li Yue helplessly.

"Li Yue, you explain this to us."

Hu Tao looked at Li Yue, whose expression was serious.

"Hu Tao, we are doing this all at the Emperor's behest!"

"what?"

Hu Tao looked completely bewildered.

"You mean it's the Emperor's intention?"

"That's right, it was the Emperor who ordered me to kill him!"

Hu Tao frowned and looked at Zhong Li, only to be met with Zhong Li's helpless facepalm.

I regret it. Can I go back and start over?

97. Xiao Shangxian, the Seven Stars assassinated the Emperor!

"I knew long ago that this guy named Zhongli was no good!"

At the tea stall, archaeologist Hanxue angrily expressed his assessment of Zhongli.

"As Liyue's most professional archaeologist, no one understands the Emperor better than me. How dare he refute my views in public? At the time, I didn't want to criticize him in public to save face for him. Now everything is clear. He is a born evil guy!"

"That's right, that's right. I've disliked him for a long time, but unfortunately he's too cunning. He's so discreet that I haven't been able to find an opportunity to expose him to Qianyan Army. Otherwise, he would have been locked up in jail long ago."

Archaeologist Yi Xuan also expressed his anger.

"What a pity! We were all blinded by this master of concealment and couldn't see the evil plan he had been preparing in the shadows for sixty years!"

The archaeologists kept expressing their hatred for Zhongli. There was no other way; of the three wanted men, Zhongli was the most familiar to everyone present. They were not very familiar with the other two, so they simply started with Zhongli, whom they were most familiar with.

Among the group of archaeologists, only a girl named Wanyan did not participate. Instead, she stared into thought as she watched the streets constantly patrolled by the Thousand Rock Army.

Also lost in thought was the Fool's Executive Officer, "Prince," who remained at the Northern Bank.

The young master was also present when the emperor was killed, and to be honest, he was also greatly shocked.

He originally wanted to observe the most ancient war god in legend, but what he saw was the scene of the most ancient war god being killed.

Most importantly, the people involved in the assassination of Morax were Zhongli and Li Yue, whom he had met after arriving in Liyue! One of them was someone Her Majesty the Empress had mentioned who could help him, and the other was a celestial being from the intelligence he had obtained. Because of Li Yue's intervention, although he had obtained some information about the celestial being, he had not obtained any information about Morax from Zhongli. He was originally worried about this, but now things have turned out much better.

These two people, without saying a word, actually killed Morax in public, and even explained the complete plan to the Seven Stars of Liyue in public before making a clean getaway!

How incredibly awesome! Even more awesome than those Fools! No wonder the Queen sent him to find Zhongli; it turns out Zhongli had been wanting to make a move for a long time!

As impressive as he is, this has made it difficult for his son to carry out his work.

Because the Liyue Seven Stars' investigation revealed that before the Asgardian Summoning Ceremony, their son Dartalia had invited Zhongli, Li Yue, and even Narcida to dinner. Since too many people witnessed this, Dartalia became a suspect. This was because Dartalia had recently arrived in Liyue Harbor and was a member of the Fatui, which inevitably aroused the Liyue Seven Stars' suspicion. Although there was no direct evidence, Dartalia and the Fatui's actions were temporarily restricted, which is why he stayed at the Northern Bank instead of causing trouble outside.

In the original storyline, the blonde-haired guy shone brightly in Mondstadt, attracting the attention of the Fatui. So much so that after the blonde-haired guy arrived in Liyue, Nautilus also included him in his plans. However, now, due to Li Yue's intervention in Mondstadt, the blonde-haired guy's exposure is not high. Although the lady met the blonde-haired guy in Mondstadt, she didn't care about him. Nautilus also didn't get any information from the lady, and didn't even know Venti, so naturally he wouldn't look for the blonde-haired guy.

In the original storyline, the blond-haired boy's role was to lure the Immortals, causing conflict or even battle between them and the Liyue Sept. He could then take advantage of the chaos to obtain the Heart of God from Morax's corpse.

But now, the young master not only doesn't recognize Huang Mao, he can't even leave the house, let alone cause trouble.

Lost in thought, the young man unconsciously turned his gaze to the peaceful street outside the window.

At this moment, Liyue had calmed down under the control of the Seven Stars.

Although Li Yue and the other two are on the wanted list, Liyue has no intention of searching for them everywhere. The death of the Geo Archon is a fact, and in the eyes of the Liyue Seven Stars, it is better to stabilize the situation in Liyue Harbor than to chase after an enemy that they cannot fight at the moment. The greater significance of announcing the bounty is to let others find Li Yue and then tell the Seven Stars the information, so that the Seven Stars can keep track of information about Li Yue and Zhongli.

They first sent people to collect the dragon corpse left behind by the Rock Lord, and then immediately began to take full control of Liyue Harbor through the Thousand Rock Army.

Just like in the original storyline, they placed even greater emphasis on the stability of Liyue Harbor. At least in their view, Liyue Harbor could not be in chaos. After the initial shock caused by the death of the Geo Archon, they took this opportunity to replace the gods and quickly seize all power in Liyue during the time following the Geo Archon's death.

The entire process was secretly observed by Zhongli, who was hiding inside the Hall of Rebirth, and he was very satisfied with it.
