Walnut used me to boost her sales performance.

Even Granny Ping and Gan Yu, who were not originally in Qunyu Pavilion, flew directly to Qunyu Pavilion at this time.

Although Ningguang's expression was solemn, she did not lose her composure. "My informants had previously discovered that the Fools were active in the Lonely Cloud Pavilion and were secretly copying the Unfettered Talisman. Considering the Fools' purpose, I had already anticipated this day."

Liyue seals away many demon gods, and since the Fatui have made up their minds, they will use all sorts of methods to achieve their goal.

If it's not a demon god from Guyun Pavilion, then it must be a demon god from somewhere else.

Liyue is a vast and resource-rich land, and many demon gods have been suppressed there.

And they are hard to guard against.

Even so, they did not remain idle. They had been preparing to face once again the demon god who had once brought crisis to Liyue.

The newly awakened Vortex Demon God, Oser, stretched his body, which had been still for a long time. He had not yet emerged from the sea, but the pressure brought by his awakening was already suffocating.

Huge waves roared toward Liyue Harbor, the sky was as dark as ink, and dark clouds obscured the only glimmer of light. The storm poured down like a waterfall, and the wind and rain fell like dense bullets, like needles pricking the ground.

The sudden wind and rain gave no one time to react; in an instant, Liyue Harbor descended into chaos.

The chaotic crowd fled frantically, while the Thousand Rock Army went against the flow.

They organized the chaotic crowds as they fled, struggling to maintain order.

"Quickly! Everyone back inside! Close the doors and windows tightly!"

Stop packing your goods and get out of here!

"Hey kid! Don't just stand there! Come with me!"

All pedestrians on the streets were quickly organized to go indoors. Restaurants, shops, and teahouses all opened their doors to shelter the people seeking refuge from the heavy rain.

In the rain, the Thousand Rock Army moved in a chaotic yet orderly fashion.

Chapter 295 The Thousand Rock Army is the wall of Liyue!

Looking at the scene below, Ningguang felt a little more at ease. After everyone had entered the house, she shouted loudly:

"Thousand Rocks Solidifying Formation! Activate!"

Her voice echoed over Liyue Harbor, drowning out the thunder, the gale, and the torrential rain.

Golden light burst forth, and a massive array plate rose in Liyue Harbor.

"Chiiwa Army! Charge!"

"Yes!"

The sound of the spear striking the ground echoed throughout the Jade Pavilion, its powerful resonance drowning out the torrential rain and resounding throughout Liyue Harbor.

The seawater trembled violently, and a huge whirlpool swept the seawater into the sky.

With a loud boom, Oser emerged from the deep sea!

Its enormous head, as large as a sea serpent, bared its terrifying fangs and roared to the sky, releasing the pent-up frustration of being suppressed for thousands of years.

The demon god's oppressive aura, accompanied by his roar, was released without reservation.

A suffocating feeling, as if being slowly swallowed by the deep sea and gradually crushed by pressure, enveloped everyone's hearts. The Thousand Rock Army, going against the current, had never seen anything like this before, and many of them could only use their spears for support to avoid falling to the ground.

Chang Zao looked up with difficulty at the terrifying demon god in the sea. Even from such a distance, the mere pressure from the demon god made it hard for them to breathe.

Under the power of the demon god, they were like ants.

His hands were shaking uncontrollably, and his legs felt as heavy as if they weighed a ton, making it difficult for him to take a step.

But he was not willing to give up!

The Emperor has passed away. If even the Thousand Rock Army cannot face their enemies, what will become of their children, their families, and Liyue Harbor behind them?

When they joined the Thousand Rock Army, they swore an oath at Jade Peak to protect Liyue Harbor, and they were determined to do so!

"The cliffs are firm and the peaks are unyielding!"

He roared and took his first step, then his second, under the oppressive force!

"The cliffs are firm and the peaks are unyielding!"

Behind him, soldiers roared and took steps, using their spears for support. They were terrified and trembling, but their steps never stopped.

There are always important things that we must do, no matter how scared or afraid we are.

So that their families and children wouldn't tremble in fear under the oppressive power of the demon, they were willing to build this wall and use their bodies to block the danger in front of them.

As each member of the Thousand Rock Army entered the array node, a massive shield gradually enveloped the entire Liyue Harbor, shutting out the oppressive aura of the Demon God and the storms.

The trembling people who fled back into their houses clasped their hands together in prayer.

In the face of Liyue Harbor's peril, there was nothing they could do but try to send some strength through prayer.

"May the Emperor protect Liyue!" Even though the Emperor has passed away, he is like a symbol of faith. Just thinking of the Emperor gives me boundless power.

The woman clutched the safety amulet tightly, praying for her lover, "Your Majesty, please protect me and keep me safe!"

The hunched old man prayed for his children's safety, "May the Emperor protect you, son, you must come back safely!"

The crying child wiped away his tears, "Daddy, I'm not scared, I'm not scared at all! I beg the Emperor to protect you!"

"May the Emperor protect us! We must defend Liyue Harbor!"

"..."

One prayer after another rose up, and though their voices were small, when they came together they were deafening.

As Zhongli listened to these prayers, he struggled to control himself from listening and looking.

The Rock King has passed away, and the child must eventually go through hardships to grow up.

Now, facing this terrifying demon, they can only rely on themselves; no one can stand aside.

Countless nodes lit up one by one, holding long spears and standing straight in the center of the array, facing the pressure of the demon god, like statues.

They were just ordinary soldiers, without divine eyes or great strength, but even as ordinary people, they had the belief to fight against demons and protect their homeland, a belief that disregarded life and death!

Their bodies, like sturdy walls, firmly protect Liyue within.

Liyue has no city walls; the Thousand Rock Army is the thickest wall!

Xiangling looked at the enormous demon god that peeked out from the Lonely Cloud Pavilion in the distance, almost covering the sky. Even across the Cloud Sea, its aura was enough to make one's heart tremble.

"Was it something like this that Master and the others fought back then...?" Xiangling murmured.

Even she, with her divine eyes, felt fear; how much more so those ordinary people?

Guobala tugged at her hand, signaling her not to be afraid.

Xiangling patted its head and shook her head, "I'm not afraid."

She looked up at the shield with a gap in it and patted Guoba's head.

"Guoba, it's our turn."

Although she didn't particularly like Ningguang, she had to admit that Ningguang was a very capable person.

She had anticipated all of this and made the most comprehensive preparations.

Whether it was the Thousand Rock Army or them, they all followed Ningguang's instructions closely and worked together to build this awe-inspiring array to protect Liyue Harbor.

Guoba nodded, and the two of them, a human and a bear, stood on the roof. Golden light shone beneath their feet, and the Eye of God at her waist emitted a dazzling radiance. The shield that had been protecting the Tiger Rock closed completely, and the people hiding in the Hall of Ten Thousand People felt that the terrifying pressure had instantly disappeared by more than half.

The waves on the sea were getting bigger and bigger, and a huge tsunami was about to engulf Liyue Harbor.

Xingqiu, Chongyun, Yunjin, Xinyan, Yanfei...

One by one, the holders of the Eye of God stepped into the center of the array, their Eyes shining brightly on them, and the shield completely enveloped the entire Liyue Harbor.

The tsunami, hundreds of feet high, roared like a mountain collapsing, striking the solid barrier with unparalleled force, attempting to destroy the entire Liyue Harbor.

The shield stood firm like a solid rock amidst the surging waves, unwavering in the slightest.

Seeing all this, Zhongli smiled with relief, and all worry disappeared from her face.

......

Hu Tao, far away in Guili Plain, also sensed the terrifying commotion at Guyun Pavilion. She immediately stopped traveling and, ignoring the three people's attempts to stop her, went up to the top of Wangshu Inn to look at Guyun Pavilion from afar.

From afar, she saw that Yunlaihai was completely shrouded in dark clouds, and the rain was pouring down wildly.

On the sea, a huge and terrifying demon stretched out its many heads, and with just a casual movement, it stirred up huge waves.

"Oh no, Liyue Harbor is in danger!" She gripped the handrail tightly, her heart leaping into her throat.

With the passing of the Emperor, the awakening of the Demon God, and the rebellion of the Fatui, Liyue Harbor faces an unprecedented crisis.

She desperately wanted to return to Liyue Harbor right now, but reason told her that going back would be pointless.

One person's role is insignificant in the face of disaster.

Hu Tao took a deep breath to suppress the surging emotions in her heart.

"With all the immortals in Liyue Harbor and the Seven Stars formation in place, protecting Liyue Harbor shouldn't be a problem. I need to go where I'm needed more..."

Chapter 296 Burying the Young Master

Seeing that Liyue Harbor was firmly protected by the shield, the immortals who were originally preparing to take action breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Ningguang with a hint of appreciation.

Although this woman was a bit power-hungry, she did manage to protect Liyue for the time being.

"The formation is good, but simply holding it is useless. Right now, Liyue Harbor is only facing the waves stirred up by Oser. Once Oser launches an attack, it's hard to say how long this formation can hold out!" Lishui pointed out the crux of the problem.

"Please, all immortals, help us!" Ningguang asked the immortals without hesitation.

It is wishful thinking for them, mere mortals, to defeat the demon god. Ningguang is quite able to recognize reality.

Grandma Ping shook her head slightly, "Even if all of us were here, we might not be able to defeat the Vortex Demon God Oser."

"Is there really no other way?" Ke Qing came out, still unwilling to give up.

If this problem cannot be resolved once and for all, then next time, and the time after that, this demon will reappear and threaten Liyue Harbor again!

Ningguang looked at the Returning to the End on Tianheng Mountain. "I consulted ancient books and found an object called the Returning to the End. It is very powerful and may be able to threaten the Demon God. There used to be one on Tianheng Mountain, but it is very old. Although I had people repair it, I do not know the repair method and cannot fix it."

Upon hearing that Guizhongji was broken, Liu Yun was very displeased. "Hmph! They can't even protect their treasures. What a waste!"

Ningguang sighed softly, "Immortals dwell in the mountains for so long that they probably don't feel the passage of time. More than two thousand years have passed since the war between demons and gods. Under the erosion of time, even rocks can turn to dust. Those who once protected the Return to the End have long since passed away, and very little information remains... Even if we wanted to restore the ancient artifacts, we wouldn't know where to begin..."

Liu Yun was momentarily stunned. Two thousand years! Has such a long time really passed?

"Alright, I'll stay here and remake the new Return to the End. Once it's finished, we'll infuse it with our immortal power, and it should be able to put up a fight against Oser."

Osel is still far away in Lonely Cloud Pavilion, far from Liyue Harbor, so they have plenty of time.

They agreed to test whether the Seven Stars could protect Liyue. Now that the Seven Stars have demonstrated their ability to protect Liyue, they can't just do nothing.

Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun flapped his wings and found an open space in the Qunyu Pavilion to refine the product on the spot.

......

Outside the golden house, a torrential downpour was falling.

Jiang Bai and Kong carried the unconscious Dadalia out of the Golden House. As soon as they looked up, they saw the Jade Pavilion flying overhead, heading towards the Lonely Cloud Pavilion.

Paimon covered his head with his two little hands, trying to shield himself from the downpour, while Jiang Bai and Kong let the rain pelt them.

They looked at the distant demon god with deep concern.

Paimon looked at the Jade Pavilion and said worriedly, "The Seven Stars and the Immortals should both be in the Jade Pavilion. They must be preparing to attack the Demon God, right?"

The question that's more abstract to think about is more practical: "How do we get up there?"

Since we are going to counterattack the demon god, we should naturally follow the main force.

But the problem is that the main force is flying in the sky, and they can't get up there!

Jiang Bai was too exhausted to fight anymore, but that didn't stop him from wanting to join in the fun.

It would be such a shame not to witness the battle against the Demon God up close.

"How to get up there is indeed a problem..."

Jiang Bai thought for a moment, then a brilliant idea struck him, and he shouted towards the Jade Pavilion:

"Xiao! Can you hear me? Immortal Xiao!"

Since you can't get up there yourself, just ask someone who can to help you.
