When I learn how to stop time, I'll first go and see what color the panties of the guardians of heavenly justice are.

"Hungry? Let's go eat! From now on, eat whenever you're hungry, eat until you're stuffed. You've seen all the wealth your master has. I even eat Mora as food, so how could I be short of a little bit of yours?"

Lu Sheng waved his hand and took Paimon out for a big meal.

During the meal, a group of Qianyan soldiers suddenly ran past downstairs in a hurry, seemingly rushing to a certain assembly point.

"Master, it's already dark. Those Thousand Rock Army soldiers seem to be in a hurry. Has something happened in Liyue?"

Lu Sheng silently watched the direction in which the Thousand Rock Army disappeared, thinking that they must have all gone to Wuwang Slope to capture the Abyss Cult.

Did you act so soon after receiving the news? You're really impatient.

For some reason, he couldn't shake the feeling of unease.

The abyss is too strange; this shouldn't be so easy.

Let's sneak over and take a look.

"Eat quickly, then come with me."

Lightly I rode down the mountain, to the slope of Wuwang.

Gan Yu led the last Thousand Rock Army to the scene and joined Ye Lan and Ke Qing, who had gone ahead.

"Is everyone here?"

"They're all here. A thousand elite Thousand Rock Army soldiers are here, ready to attack at any time."

After Ye Lan finished her report, she asked Gan Yu with great confusion, "How do you know that the Abyss Cult is hiding in Wuwang Slope? I have been investigating for a long time but have no clue. I only know that they are looking for a certain underground palace in Hulao Mountain."

“It was Lu Sheng who told me. He was that boy from Mondstadt. He had fought against the Abyss Order in Mondstadt and knew more about the Abyss than we did. So I contacted him privately, and he said that there was a person from the Abyss Order called Venerable who was hiding in Wuwang Slope.”

Hearing this, Yelan was even more puzzled and whispered, "That's even stranger. He's from Mondstadt and knows very little about Liyue. How could he know that the Abyss Order is hiding in Wuwang Slope?"

Ke Qing interrupted the two of them.

"Alright, enough chit-chat, let's get down to business. With such a commotion, the people inside might have already noticed."

"You underestimate me, Liyue's top agent, don't you? I've already had Wuwang Slope completely surrounded, not even a fly could get out. By the way, who is this?"

Ye Lan sized up Shen He, and intuitively felt that she was a very dangerous woman.

My intuition has always been very accurate.

“She is my junior sister, named Shen He. I mentioned her to Ke Qing before. I asked her to come and help me when I went up the mountain this time.”

"Shen He, this is Ye Lan, a spy from the General Affairs Department, and this is Ke Qing, one of the Seven Stars."

Gan Yu introduced themselves to each other, but Shen He seemed not to hear them.

She walked a few steps deeper into Wuwang Slope alone, reaching out her hand to flail in the air as if trying to grasp something.

“I can feel a strong aura of death... The legend of Wuwangpo is not false; there really is a boundary between life and death here.”

Keqing shuddered and gripped her sword tightly.

“Whether there are ghosts in Wuwangpo or not, we have to go in and find out. Yelan and Ganyu, you go first, I'll bring up the rear.”

Ye Lan waved behind her, "A small team of fifty people, follow me!"

Several people led fifty well-trained elite soldiers of the Thousand Rock Army into Wuwangpo. It was night, and a cold wind was blowing at the foot of the mountain. Ghostly shadows often flashed by, and the cries of babies could be heard from afar. The atmosphere was eerie and chilling.

The operation was originally planned for tomorrow during the day, but Ningguang couldn't wait. She ordered a night raid to catch the Abyss Order off guard and wipe them out completely to prevent future troubles.

As the group ventured deeper into the forest, a thin red mist gradually enveloped them, limiting their visibility. Even the rustling of grass beneath their feet could send a shiver down their spines.

Suddenly, Shen He, who was walking at the front, stopped and said coldly, "The border is nearby."

Ke Qing wanted to curse inwardly. Couldn't they have avoided bringing up the border issue at a time like this?

Her eyes searched around, both afraid and eager to see what this legendary border actually looked like.

As it turned out, she did see a white figure standing in the fog, pointing at their group without saying a word.

The figure's clothing wasn't the current trendy style, but rather the style that Liyue's grandparents' generation wore when they were children.

This is truly a ghost sighting!

Ke Qing got angry.

She quickly patted Yelan on the shoulder, "Look over there, isn't there someone?"

Ye Lan tilted her head and saw a white figure. She immediately took out her bow and shot an arrow at it.

After the arrow struck the white figure, the figure instantly turned into a cloud of white mist and vanished.

"They're just wandering ghosts, what's there to be afraid of?"

"Who's afraid? If I had a bow and arrow, I'd shoot one first and see."

Ye Lan just smiled and didn't say anything.

The group continued deeper into the ruins, where the fog was even thicker, making it impossible to distinguish between people and animals more than ten meters away. The people in the group had to keep a close eye on the heels of the person in front of them to avoid getting separated.

Even so, when they stopped counting, there were still more than a dozen Thousand Rock Army soldiers missing.

"They must be lost in the fog. Let's look for them when we get back."

Gan Yu looked towards the ruins. In a corner, several white soul banners fluttered, swaying without wind. They were inscribed with characters that looked like ghostly scribbles, and it was unclear whether they were for suppressing or summoning souls.

Not far away, a dilapidated pavilion stands out abruptly on the hillside, like a lonely, hunched old man.

"Don't move! There's someone there!"

Shen He stopped the group and looked toward the center of the pavilion.

A person was sitting upright in the pavilion.

It wasn't a white ghost, but a real person.

The man was dressed in a plain-colored robe, with a white mask covering his entire face. He held a book in his hand and sat comfortably in the pavilion.

This time, this place, this atmosphere, these people.

It sends chills down your spine more than ghosts and monsters.

"They actually managed to find this place. It seems that Seven Stars isn't as useless as I thought."

The other party seemed to have known that Gan Yu and the others were coming. He spoke calmly and without any panic. He stood up straight, put his hands behind his back, and walked out of the pavilion.

"You are the Venerable One?"

"It was me," the man admitted without hesitation.

"Originally, I was just an ordinary person in Qingce Manor who was trying to change my life. It wasn't until His Highness the Prince took me to see the Abyss and made me see the world clearly that I realized I had been wasting my time for the first half of my life."

"All living beings suffer. If I had the opportunity to step forward and save the world, but I turned a blind eye, I would be a sinner."

“You mortals, blinded by worldly desires, unable to see the truth of this world, I do not blame you. The wise ones, join me in the abyss, and there will be a glimmer of hope when the end comes. Those who are unwilling to enter my abyss, you will die sooner or later anyway, so you might as well keep company with the lonely ghosts of Wuwang Slope today.”

Mondstadt-Liyue Chapter: Chapter 48: The Traveler vs. the Twins

In an inconspicuous corner where no one notices.

Land-based probe.

Paimon probe.

"Master, what are you doing in a place like this in the middle of the night? It's terrifying! I just saw a ghost!"

"Shh~ We're not the only ones who came here in the middle of the night. Look, there's a whole bunch of lunatics over there."

Paimon rubbed his eyes and looked over. Sure enough, there was a group of people doing something in the graveyard in the middle of the night.

"Huh? They look like the Thousand Rock Army who just left the city, along with Ke Qing and Gan Yu. Ah! And that fierce tigress! Her name is Ye Lan, right?"

"Oh my god! Look! Look! It looks like they're about to fight!"

Paimon pulled out a telescope from some four-dimensional bag to watch the show.

"It must be that the masked man was a womanizer when he was young, which is why so many beautiful women are ganging up on him! I've seen similar plots in martial arts novels."

Boom!

Lu Sheng punched Paimon on the head and snatched the binoculars.

"Damn it, Paimon! What's the point of having such a vivid imagination?"

"That man is a Venerable of the Abyss Order. He looks like a show-off. I hate show-offs more than anything else in my life, except for me."

Hehehe, Venerable One is going to be in trouble today. You made such harsh words right from the start. Don't be in a hurry to beg for mercy when you get beaten up.

He had already suffered enough from Ke Qing and Ye Lan, not to mention those two sisters.

Even if you were the Dragon Subduer, you'd be skinned alive today.

With a wave of his hand, the Venerable One caused the surrounding red mist to gather instantly. As if summoned by some force, the white figures hovering on the edge of life and death broke the rules, crossed the boundary, and stepped back into the world of the living.

Strangely, the moment they stepped out of the boundary, their bodies miraculously returned to their original appearance.

But that wasn't a true resurrection; Lu Sheng could sense the abyssal aura emanating from the bodies of these departed souls.

They pull people back from the world of the dead and transform them into an army of the undead.

The Abyss Order really does manage to pull off some truly shocking and ruthless moves every time.

With an almost limitless army of undead, the Abyss Order does indeed have the strength to fight Liyue head-on, and their chances of winning are very high if the Emperor does not interfere.

If the soldiers of the Chiyan Army saw their grandmothers wielding swords and slashing at them, their morale would probably collapse very quickly.

The Abyss Cult in this world is truly ruthless; they are genuinely aiming for the destruction of the nation and the extermination of the race.

It must be related to the addition of another empty space.

I can't let those two siblings ruin Liyue. If Liyue is gone, where will I make money?

"Huh? Uncle... Uncle? Aren't you already..."

In the Thousand Rock Army, a soldier recognized his deceased uncle. Even a well-trained elite soldier was so frightened by the sight that his hands trembled and he could not grip his spear tightly.

"grandmother?"

"Mother...is it really you? Mother..."

Some even saw their long-missed loved ones and knelt down in tears.
