Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

An hour ago, Dragon Ridge Snow Mountains, the border between Liyue and Mondstadt.

Wendy stood there quietly, staring at the snowstorm on the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain in front of her, with a solemn look on her face.

At this moment, a familiar and complex emotion surged in his heart.

"Grandpa, you're here." Wendy suddenly whispered to herself. Although her voice was soft, it seemed to carry some expectation.

"Barbatos, have you also received a letter that an abyss mage risked his life to deliver?" Zhongli walked to Wendy and asked.

Wendy silently took out a crumpled piece of letter paper from her bosom. The handwriting on it was crooked and it was obvious that it was written by those inhuman creatures of the Abyss Mage.

"Traveler, we are not planning to travel anymore because Shao Yun has found her brother. We in the abyss need your help," Wendy said softly, with a hint of helplessness in her tone.

"How funny! Those guys from the Abyss actually asked us for help..."

Upon hearing this, Zhongli also took out a similar piece of letter paper from his sleeve and nodded in agreement.

"Her journey was unexpectedly short." He said in a deep voice, his eyes deep, thinking about some important decision.

"So, old man, do you think the same as I do?" Wendy turned to look at Zhongli, with a questioning gleam in her eyes.

Zhongli nodded slightly and said firmly: "Let's go and persuade Shao Yun. If necessary, tell him our plan."

However, a hint of worry appeared on Wendy's face.

"What if he still chooses to be stubborn?" he asked worriedly.

Zhongli was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Then we will tell the plan to the Traveler and persuade her to persuade Shao Yun."

Hearing this, Wendy secretly prepared for the worst.

"What if he still refuses to change his mind?" he continued to ask.

Zhongli really didn't dare to think about this question. He was silent for a while before he spoke slowly.

"That will be another wear and tear for us..."

What it means is that if you use force, there is a high chance that something serious will happen.

Wendy couldn't help but sigh with emotion when she heard this. "Hey, I hope everything goes well..."

……

In the raging blizzard of the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain, Shao Yun stood outside Albedo's laboratory, the cowboy revolver in his left hand pointing directly at the gray sky.

He pulled the trigger suddenly, and the sound of the gunshot tore through the roar of the wind and snow, echoing on the top of the snow-capped mountains, issuing a warning to Wendy and Zhongli who were approaching.

"Wendy, Zhongli, if your braids start to glow again, I will be rude to you!"

Wendy and Zhongli, the two seemingly carefree gods, had to restrain their usual casualness at this moment. Their light quietly disappeared under Shao Yun's warning, and they slowly approached with a bit of helplessness and smile on their faces.

Wendy spoke first, trying to ease the atmosphere with his unique frivolous tone.

"Hey! Shao Yun, don't be so serious. Grandpa and I just had a whim and wanted to come to the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain to see the snow scenery and feel the magnificence of nature."

However, Shao Yun is not someone who can be easily fooled.

He glanced at Wendy coldly and questioned, "Do you think I would believe you? You wish you could spend 24 hours a day in the tavern, and Zhongli wish you could go to the opera every day. It's not a festival, and you two have no reason to come out here in the ice and snow to enjoy the snow? I don't believe you have such a noble taste."

Seeing this, Zhongli knew that beating around the bush would be futile, so he said directly: "Mr. Shao Yun, the reason we came here is because we know that you helped Ying find Ying's blood relatives."

Shao Yun snorted coldly. He didn't mind how these two people knew about this. He was more concerned about their purpose.

"Oh? So you mean to help us fight against the Abyss Cult?"

Wendy and Zhongli exchanged a look, and then Wendy spoke again, with a hint of coaxing in her tone.

"It's no problem for us to help you fight against the abyss. But more importantly, we hope that you and Ying can continue your journey."

Shao Yun frowned, he couldn't understand this sudden request.

"Continue traveling? Why? Explain yourself!"

Wendy seemed a little embarrassed, but he still gritted his teeth and told the truth.

"Travel is of immeasurable value to Ying. For her future, you should continue to move forward..."

Shao Yun was even more confused when he heard this. He didn't understand why everyone was persuading Ying to continue traveling, as if this was a destiny that could not be violated.

He angrily retorted: "What do you mean? Speak clearly! Let Kong return to Ying's side, which is her greatest wish! But you refused to even tell her the information about Kong! Now that I have helped her realize this wish, why do you still order me around?"

Wendy looked at the emotional Shao Yun, and his heart was filled with mixed emotions. He looked up at the sky.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Shao Yun, we understand your concern for Ying. But traveling... for her future, you should continue to move forward..."

However, Shao Yun had heard enough of these empty words, and he rudely interrupted Wendy.

"That's enough! I don't need you to tell me what's good for Ying! I have my own plans! You only have two choices now. Either help me kill those Abyss Cults! Or leave immediately! We can still be friends."

"But if you try to stop me, don't blame me for killing you!"

Zhongli's heart was filled with mixed emotions, and he recalled the mysterious words of the man in the tall hat: "The person who wrote the story is sleeping."

This sentence gave him courage, so Zhongli mustered up his courage and said bluntly: "I can honestly tell you the secret of five hundred years ago. I am willing to tell you, as long as you can continue your journey."

At this moment, an unexpected figure appeared in front of Wendy and Zhongli.

It's Deinsleb! He's back again!

"When did you gods become so bold?"

Zhongli looked at the man who suddenly appeared in surprise, and memories flooded into his mind like a tide.

"You... I seem to have seen you somewhere. After the incident in Kanriya..."

However, Shao Yun's voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Don't interrupt! Now I just want to know, are you my friends or my enemies! Zhongli, answer me!"

Facing Shao Yun's resolute face, Zhongli took a deep breath and said seriously: "I hope that you, Shao Yun, Ying and Paimeng can continue your journey."

Shao Yun was stunned. He could hardly believe his ears. His fingers involuntarily pulled the hammer of the Cowboy revolver.

"I can understand Wendy talking nonsense when she's drunk, but how come you..."

Zhongli knew that things had come to this point and he could no longer hide it, so he said in a deep voice: "Okay, I'll be frank. Our goal is to rebel against the laws of nature."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhongli couldn't help but look up at the sky, only to see that the blizzard was still raging, but there was no unusual change, which made him feel a little relieved.

What that demon said was true!

Then he spoke boldly and told the story of that forgotten history.

"Everything starts from the Demon War..."

Zhongli slowly narrated that forgotten history. He described how the law of nature planned a brutal struggle among the demons, and in the end only seven demons won the final victory and became the earthly rulers of the continent of Teyvat.

Talking about Kanreya five hundred years ago, Tianli took the six gods except the grass god to deal with the disaster in Kanreya.

Dainsleib was standing by and saw Zhongli desperately telling Shao Yun about what happened that year, and he also added more details for everyone.

The five sinners of Kanria, the sage Helotati, the prophet Viserfenir, the golden Rhinedot, the evil knight Surtrloch, and the moon hunter Lelier.

These five people stole the power of the abyss and gained the power to deny the world, but their crime was inflicted on the people of Kanria.

When Zhongli heard this, he couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion in his heart, and sighed softly: "So, there is such a tortuous secret behind this..."

Shao Yun never expected that Zhongli and Dainsreb would tell him about the things that he wanted to get from Xumi or even Fontaine right now!

It turns out that the crying and noisy children get the candies, while the good children are just fooled!

But Shao Yun remained vigilant, holding his gun and staring at Zhongli, urging him to continue.

Zhongli told Shao Yun what happened after the Kanreya disaster.

"After the incident in Kanreya, the Ice God took over the banner of resistance against Heavenly Law. When we met for the last time, the Ice God told us that we, the Seven Rulers of the Earthly World, are the sheepdogs raised by Heavenly Law. Those who have the Eye of God are sheep. Those who don't have the Eye of God are grass. We must defeat the 'shepherd', otherwise, what happened in Kanreya will happen to other countries."

Wendy took over the conversation and said, "But after the Kanreya disaster five hundred years ago, the seven gods no longer met, and the connection between us was cut off. Recently, the Ice God began to collect the hearts of the gods in order to carry out the plan of rebelling against the law of nature."

Finally, Wendy apologized to Shao Yun and said, "I'm sorry. Grandpa Zhongli and I have been deceiving you and making you travel to the next country because your journey can connect the seven gods who have long been disconnected. When you reach the last country, the Ice God's plan to rebel against the law of nature will probably officially begin..."

What this means is that Ying is a messenger.

You said a lot of bullshit before, fooling the yellow-haired fool and her big enemy, the elf. In the end, you made this big and small one grateful to you!

"You and Zhongli are using us! If I hadn't made such a fuss, you would have just been trying to fool us!"

Wendy lowered her head and said helplessly: "I'm sorry, we told you everything. Now I beg you to continue your journey! Whatever you want, Master Zhongli and I will agree to it."

Shao Yun learned the "truth" about letting Ying travel. He knew that Venti and Zhongli took a big risk, which might make Mondstadt and Liyue become the next Kanria, but Shao Yun is not a person who can be persuaded by anyone!

"You never told me the truth before. Now I have helped Ying find Kong, and the purpose of our trip has been achieved! You are getting anxious, but now you can't force me to do anything. I am still confident that I can kill both of you. If you don't want to die, get out of here!"

Wendy looked at Shao Yun's resolute attitude, his heart full of confusion and helplessness. He sighed softly, with a hint of imperceptible sadness in his voice.

"Shao Yun, we didn't have to do this. We can agree to any conditions you want, why do you have to do this!"

Upon hearing this, Shao Yun curled up his lips into a sneer.

"Because you guys plotted against Ying, I really regret making friends with you two bastards! Now, you two old immortals who have lived for thousands of years are my enemies! You are unforgivable enemies!"

He spat vigorously, expressing his dissatisfaction and anger.

Dainsleb, who was standing next to Shao Yun, frowned. He knew very well that Shao Yun was planning to break off relations with God!

"Shao Yun, you...are you going down a path of no return? The act of killing a god is no small matter."

Shao Yun nodded firmly, looked directly at Wendy and Zhongli, and explained to Dainsleb.

"Since I came to Teyvat, I have never been afraid of anyone. That demon is one, Ying is one, and Paimon is one. Apart from these three, I will kill anyone who stands against me!"

Then, Shao Yun looked at Wendy and Zhongli, and his words became even more resolute.

"Today, I'm going to make this clear! Either I kill you two! Take Ying and Kong away from these bad things! Or I'll be killed by you two, and I'll just consider myself unlucky and my skills are not good enough! In the future, if you let Ying go on a trip or something, I won't be able to control it. Now! As long as I'm alive, you can do your own things as gods! Or find the next big enemy!"

Wendy and Zhongli looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other's eyes.

Finally, Wendy slowly raised his hand, and the "Poem of Lamentation" bow and arrow containing the power of endless wind appeared in his hand.

Zhongli held the "Rainbow Spear" that could pierce through the stars, ready to face the inevitable battle.

“In this case,” Zhongli’s voice was low and heavy, “we have no way out. Although I don’t want to go through this meaningless wear and tear, we have no choice.”

Wendy showed a complicated smile, which showed both regret for Shao Yun and calmness about the unknown fate.

"Shao Yun, Zhongli and I will always remember you."

As for Shao Yun, the Eye of God on his waist was already emitting a dazzling bloody red light, and even the air around him was tinged with an ominous color. He responded coldly to the gazes of Wendy and Zhongli.

"Stop talking nonsense. At this moment, we are enemies of life and death! If I win, I won't remember you!"

As he finished speaking, Dainsreb drew his sword without hesitation, stood beside Shao Yun, and fought alongside him.

"I don't want to embark on the path of overthrowing the gods. I should actually leave, but when I think about how Kong is no longer in the Abyss Cult, it can save me a lot of trouble. I think I should still stand with you."

……

Just when the atmosphere was tense, Ying walked out of Albedo's laboratory.

Her appearance temporarily delayed the impending bloody storm.

"Ying! These two 'sons of bitches' want to prevent you from reuniting with your brother. Once I kill them, no one will be able to stop us."

Ying did not do so, but walked behind Shao Yun and hugged him tightly.

"Shao Yun, it's time for us to wake up from this seven-day dream. My journey is not over yet, let's move on..."
