In Genshin Impact, I'm really not Muzan.

"Is that so?" Ningguang stroked her chin, pretending to think. "Go down. I will handle this matter properly. If anything happens, be sure to tell me immediately."

"Yes."

......

Meanwhile, on the other side of Liyue.

Three figures were swiftly moving through the darkness; they were Rosalin and her two companions, who were heading to Dunyu Mausoleum to meet up with Suzumiya Yu.

At this moment, the three of them did not realize that they were being followed. They continued on their way and finally arrived at Dunyu Mausoleum before dawn.

Suzumiya Yu had been waiting here for a long time. Beside him was a paralyzed ruins guard who had suddenly awakened in the ruins and attacked him.

"Master Wuhan."

Upon seeing Ryou Miyabi, the three immediately knelt on one knee, their posture extremely devout.

"This is our meeting point. Remember this place. If there are any plans that need to be explained to you in detail, come here to meet us."

Suzumiya Yui began to speak, and at the same time, the person who had been following Rosalyn and the others arrived, but did not show himself; instead, he crouched in the bushes in the distance to observe.

Fortunately, Suzumiya Yu and the others were talking inside the ruins; if it weren't for those two lit torches, he probably wouldn't have been able to see them at all.

"Also, I have a few things to tell you. First, this is Liyue, not Inazuma, so you must be careful when you move around. If you encounter an opponent like a sage, run away as soon as you can't beat them."

"Second, do not cause trouble around Liyue Harbor, and do not attract the attention of the Liyue Seven Stars. Also, always be aware of whether you are being followed."

Chapter 161 Making Mistakes Upon Arrival

“The Liyue Seven Stars are nothing like the Inazuma Shogunate. They are much smarter than the Three Magistrates, and the subordinates they have trained are all very capable. Am I right? They like to follow people around like mice.”

The next second, Suzumiya Yuu's figure disappeared and appeared directly behind the person who had been following Rosalin and the other two.

"We've been discovered!" Realizing what had happened, the man tried to grab his weapon to fight back, but Ryoujiro cut off both of his arms.

A sharp pain instantly swept through his entire body. He collapsed to the ground, screaming in agony. Blood gushed from his severed arm, making the scene look extremely gruesome.

Rosalyn and the other two were also startled. They had no idea that they were being followed. If Ryoko Yuu hadn't discovered it in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

At the same time, they also began to feel scared. This was only their first night in Liyue, and they had already made such a serious mistake. If Suzumiya Yuu wasn't angry, it would be fine, but if she were, even they wouldn't be able to withstand the torment that went deep into their souls.

On the other side, after the person gradually recovered, Suzumiya Yu waited until he leaned down and asked.

"Little mouse, who exactly sent you to follow us?" he asked in a gentle tone that was rarely heard in his usual voice. If it were an ordinary person, they would probably instinctively tell him.

However, after his arm was severed without hesitation, the man knew very well that the boy in front of him was only harmless in appearance.

So he didn't speak, because he knew that whether he spoke or not, the outcome would be the same.

"You were sent by Tianquan Ningguang, weren't you?" However, Liang Gongyou immediately guessed his mastermind. "Tsk, that woman is indeed troublesome."

"I want to get close to the Seven Stars of Liyue, but I'm afraid I can't start with her. If it were Yuheng Keqing instead, I might have a chance of success. As for you... it's useless now."

The next second, a cold glint flashed in the air, and the man was struck in the throat by Ryou Miyabi's sword, his eyes closing forever.

Wiping the blood off the blade, Ryouji Suzumiya sheathed his weapon. The next second, he glared at Rosalyn and the other two with extreme anger, and at the same time, a suffocating sense of oppression emanated from his body.

The curse within them took effect, and the three of them immediately knelt on the ground. A sharp pain that penetrated deep into their souls struck them, but they dared not put up any resistance.

"What's wrong with you three? Have you gotten too comfortable in Inazuma and started to think of the Liyue Seven Stars as those idiots from the Three Magistrates? I warned you before I came that you had to be careful when you were operating in Liyue, but what did you do?"

"This is only your first night in Liyue, and you've already been followed without even noticing. If it weren't for me, this newly found base would have been exposed. What kind of idiots are you?"

Yui Suzumiya is indifferent to most people, but remains warm to a small number. However, when facing her subordinates, she always shows her most ruthless side.

However, he quickly understood why the three of them had been exposed.

Ningguang is a very cautious person, but no matter how careful she is, it is impossible for her to immediately identify three complete strangers.

The problem lies with Rosalyn. She was once the executor of the Fatui, and the Fatui and the Liyue Seven Stars are now irreconcilably opposed. Her open appearance in Liyue Harbor naturally attracted the attention of the Seven Stars.

As time went by, Rosaline had forgotten that she had once been an officer of the Fatui, and she didn't remember ever coming to Liyue. So, this was all Suzumiya Yu's fault; he hadn't thought of this.

However, he would never admit his mistake.

"You better watch out, or I won't forgive you easily if there's a next time."

After saying that, the oppressive feeling receded from his body, the activated curse stopped, and the three of them immediately ended the torture and collapsed to the ground.

“Go, go to Shimen, make some noise there, and attract that Yuheng Keqing. I will make her the first link in the plan.”

......

"Your Highness, something terrible seems to have happened with Inazuma."

In the pitch-black abyss, an abyss mage was reporting a message to Kong, who was the abyss prince.

"What's going on?" Kong asked in a cold tone. He was already disappointed with these abyss mages, so he would no longer send them on any important missions.

"We sent your blood relative to Inazuma as planned, but after she entered the castle tower, she never appeared again."

If it's anything else, it's fine, but if it's news about his younger sister, Kong will listen very carefully and value it more than anything else.

"and then?"

"Then...then two people rushed out of the castle tower. One was a guy I didn't recognize, and the other...the other was the god who destroyed our kingdom back then."

Upon hearing this, Kong's pupils shrank instantly. Wasn't the god who destroyed Kanria back then the one who resided on Sky Island, Tenri?

How could she possibly be in Inazuma?

"What else do you know? Where did those two guys go afterward?" Kong asked anxiously.

"They...they went to Bayun Island, but they were too fast for me to catch up with. By the time I got to Bayun Island, their battle was over, and I had no idea where they had gone."

"Give me something even slightly useful, you bastard!"

Kong grabbed the Abyss Mage in front of him, furious that such an important matter had been forgotten at the most crucial moment.

Why would Tenri appear in Inazuma, and why would his sister enter the castle tower and never come out again? There must be reasons he could never have imagined.

After calming down, Kong released his grip on the Abyss Mage's hands.

This is a big deal. He has been in the Abyss for hundreds of years, all for the purpose of overthrowing the Heavenly Principles. But now, the Heavenly Principles have appeared ahead of schedule. Although they did not come after him, it was still unexpected.

Moreover, who is the guy who can fight her? Kong has witnessed Tianli's strength twice, so he knows exactly how strong Tianli is. Even if the seven ruling powers of the mortal world joined forces, they could not affect her in the slightest.

"Send word to summon the Abyss Apostles and the Abyss Singers to me. I want to find out the truth with them."

With such a major event occurring, Kong naturally wouldn't ignore it. If possible, he would like to see what kind of battlefront the person who was fighting against Tianli was on.

If he also opposes the principles of Heaven, then I can join forces with him, whether as a partner or by using his power, in order to overthrow the principles of Heaven.

Chapter 162 The Case of the Disappearance of Residents of Shimen

"Lady Keqing, regarding the recent cases of missing residents near Shimen... the situation is getting increasingly serious." Somewhere in Yujingtai, a servant was kneeling on one knee, reporting to a woman in front of him.

That was Keqing, one of the seven stars of Liyue. At this moment, she was standing in front of a map of Liyue, gently sliding her finger across it.

"How many people are missing now?" Ke Qing asked, without turning around, her tone very calm.

"There are already more than a hundred people, and even some of the brothers of the Thousand Rock Army have been seriously injured. Now, rumors are spreading all over Stone Gate that... the dead demon god has been resurrected and is going to slaughter all living beings on the land of Liyue."

"Another demon god?" The words "demon god" finally caused Keqing's expression to change.

However, she quickly realized that the thing causing trouble at the stone gate couldn't be a demon god. If it were a demon god, it wouldn't be acting so cautiously.

More than a month ago, cases of residents going missing began to occur in Stonegate. The news quickly reached Liyue Harbor, and the General Affairs Department dispatched a Thousand Rock Army to handle the situation. However, most of those Thousand Rock Army soldiers were still missing.

It should be noted that among the missing people are many holders of the Eye of God. Factors that even they cannot overcome are certainly not as simple as they appear on the surface.

Now, everyone in Stonegate is in a state of panic, and some families who are able to afford it have even moved to Liyue Harbor with their children.

As the border between Liyue and Mondstadt, Stonegate is an indispensable part of Liyue. Without it, trade between Liyue and Mondstadt would become extremely difficult.

Liyue is known for its trade, so even if we ignore the missing people, we must handle this matter properly.

"I understand. Give the order: have one of the instructors from the Thousand Rock Army lead a small team. I will go with them to Stone Gate to investigate this incident."

......

"Lord Muzan, Keqing from Yuheng Star has already departed from Liyue Harbor for Stonegate and will arrive in about three days."

Inside the stronghold of Dunyu Mausoleum, Wuye knelt on one knee, reporting his discovery to Liang Gongyou.

The disappearances near Stone Gate were all the result of Rosalyn and Utagawa. He himself had not been there, because Suzumiya Yu had asked him to keep an eye on the movements in Liyue Harbor.

"Finally, you've made your move." Ryou Miyako sighed softly from the stone chair. This was all part of his plan: to lure Keqing to the stone gate, then deliberately approach her to gain access to the inner workings of the Seven Stars of Liyue.

We can leave the immortals alone for now; they won't interfere in Liyue's affairs. Only the guardian yaksha at Wangshu Inn will occasionally search for evil spirits wreaking havoc across Liyue.

Judging from the current situation, Rosalyn and Udagawa have not yet attracted his attention; otherwise, with the power of a sage, he would probably have already come looking for them.

"Keep an eye on Liyue Harbor. If the other six members of the Liyue Seven Stars make any moves, be sure to report to me immediately."

If he wanted to get close to Ke Qing, he couldn't let the other six members of the Seven Stars find out, especially Ning Guang of Tianquan Star. That woman had a lot of ulterior motives, just like the Eightfold Divine Child, making her unpredictable.

However, compared to her, Keqing seems a bit simpler. Although her abilities are among the best in Liyue, she speaks frankly and never hides her true thoughts.

Of course, don't mention collecting the clay figurines of the Emperor; she'll slit your throat.

His figure vanished instantly, and the next second, only Wu Ye remained in the palace.

Suzumiya Yuu plans to go to the Stone Gate, arrive there before Keqing and the others, and then plan the script for the upcoming performance.

......

"Lady Keqing, once you pass the Seven Gods statues on this side of Dihua Island, you will enter the territory of the Stone Gate. Please be careful."

On the Dihua Island side, Keqing and a team of Qianyan soldiers were about to arrive at Shimen. When they officially entered the territory of Shimen, they, who had been somewhat lazy, immediately became serious.

Even those far away in Liyue Harbor heard about what happened at Stonegate. To prevent any accidents, they remained on high alert after passing the Seven Statues in Dihua Marsh.

It was already dusk when they arrived at the stone gate, only to find it desolate and completely different from what they had imagined.

Stonegate is located at the junction of Mondstadt and Stonegate, so merchants pass through here almost every day. Some merchants choose to rest at Stonegate for the night because it gets too late.

Over time, this place became a region where Mondstadt and Liyue cultures coexisted, and it was usually very lively, completely different from its current desolate state.

It wasn't dark yet, but there were no residents in the neighborhood. Everyone had their doors and windows tightly shut, as if they were afraid they would be the next one to go missing.

"This..." The Thousand Rock Army was also very surprised. They did not expect that the impact of this incident would be so great. If this continues, trade between Mondstadt and Liyue will decrease by at least 70%.

In fact, it has already decreased by about 30 percent. It was only to prevent this percentage from increasing that Keqing personally led a team to investigate.
