Genshin Impact: Immortal Cave

When the last match came to an end, time passed quietly and a subtle sense of tension gradually spread in the audience.

"What's going on? The award ceremony hasn't started yet? It's already been half an hour."

"Where's Dean Naberis? Where are the contestants from Liyue? Didn't they say they would make a group appearance?"

"It seems that the people in the Ministry of Education have strange expressions. They are more nervous than usual."

Various speculations and discussions quietly arose around the arena, although no one officially announced the truth.

However, the increasingly tense atmosphere could not be ignored by anyone.

After all, today is undoubtedly a disastrous day for the "Sumeru Teachings Institute".

"What? You said... Dean Naberis was attacked? He is now seriously injured and unconscious?"

At this time, in the Liyue lounge, everyone learned this amazing news from Senor. Not long ago, in the brief moment before the end of Fischl's last game, when she showed the "Eye of Judgment", it attracted everyone's attention.

The Sumeru Grass Elemental God, Dean Naberis, who was sitting in the special viewing box, was assassinated.

It happened so quickly and suddenly that no one noticed how the assassin acted.

“When we were about to notify Dean Naberish to hold the award ceremony, we found that he had already fallen in a pool of blood.”

When Seno mentioned the scene not long ago, he couldn't help but grit his teeth and his face became extremely ugly.

One assassination, thirty-six lives. Although Dean Naberis was only seriously injured and unconscious, his life was not in danger, but all the thirty-six masters of the Order who were responsible for protecting him were killed.

An attack of this scale was horrifying and unprecedented. On the top of Mount Xumi, which was closely guarded by the Xumi Teachings Institute, not far from the arena where tens of thousands of spectators gathered, in just a few minutes, the assassin defeated all the masters guarding Naberis and severely injured the grass god.

This kind of strength is chilling. However, Li Mochen felt that this matter was a bit strange.

"Was Dean Naberis only injured? Was there anything important missing?"

"Lost what? You mean..."

"Since the assassin killed everyone around him silently and seriously injured Naberis, it shouldn't be difficult to kill him. Why is he still alive?"

Senna couldn't help but frown when he heard this. Although this didn't sound pleasant, it was indeed a problem. According to the description of the staff of the Order Institute after entering the Kusagami's box, Naberis should have been knocked unconscious quickly after being attacked, because there were no obvious signs of fighting in the box.

Therefore, if the assassin really wanted to kill him, everyone should have seen a dead body. Therefore, this may not be a simple assassination. The other party did not want to kill Naberish, but just wanted to make him incapable of action and then do other things.

Thinking of this, Li Mochen and Ningguang exchanged glances, and an idea emerged in their minds at the same time. They had seen or heard of similar special attacks before, and the purpose was not to kill the gods.

"Could it be... that the assassin wanted to seize the 'Heart of God' of the Grass Elemental God?"

"So it was someone from the Kingdom of Winter who did it! Go stop them!"

People from Zhidong Country? Upon hearing this speculation, the doubtful Saino immediately ran to the Zhidong Country's lounge. Li Mochen and others followed closely behind, ready to provide assistance at any time.

However, when everyone rushed to the lounge of the Kingdom of Winter, they found that it was already empty. Not only did the archons who were unharmed disappear, but even the seriously injured archon who was lying on the bed was nowhere to be seen.

It was obvious that this was a long-planned plan to plunder the "Heart of God". Now, all the people from the Kingdom of Winter had fled. When Naberis was attacked just now, no one saw who did it. Even if they were chased now, as long as they hid the "Heart of God", they could deny it.

"You said that it was my people from the Winter Nation who knocked the Grass God unconscious and stole things from him? So your Grass God is so vulnerable that anyone can take advantage of him?"

If we chase them now, the people of Zhidong will definitely ridicule us in this tone. To some extent, Xumi's Grass God is indeed the weakest of the seven gods, there is no doubt about that. But if Zhidong's comments are made publicly, the people of Xumi's Teachings will probably have to find a hole to hide in.

There is no evidence and the only suspect has escaped. What can be done now?

What can he do? He could only accept it helplessly, like a dumb person swallowing coptis, unable to express his suffering, and could only endure it silently. In this way, the "Fire God Yanwu Festival" that was extremely tangled for Xumi came to a hasty end.

Compared to the excitement and solemnity at the opening, the atmosphere at the end was quite subtle. There was no pre-arranged award ceremony, nor was there a collective appearance by the Grass God Naberis and the Liyue warriors. There was only a gloomy and strange atmosphere, and the "Sumeru Teachings" seemed to be driving away guests with a cold attitude.

After all, this incident was too passive for Xumi. Unable to hold the Kingdom of Winter accountable, the Xumi Church could only choose to keep things quiet. Otherwise, if the matter got out of hand, they would be even more embarrassed and lose face.

Just like that, in the evening, the Liyue team boarded the Qunyu Pavilion and slowly flew back to Liyue Harbor. Although the "Vulcan God Yanwu Festival" did not end well, their goal was finally achieved. After all, before the game started, the Xumi Order Academy, as a third party, had already properly kept the bets of both parties.

The two bets include a "method for making the evil eye" and a "Li Mochen authorization contract". Whichever side wins the game, the two bets will belong to it. In other words, Liyue has now mastered the method of making the evil eye. With the method of making the "evil eye", the immortals can gain new attributes. When the immortals with the seven attributes and the talismans with the seven attributes are all collected, it will be the day when Li Mochen will start his journey to become a god.
