Genshin Impact: Legend of the Emperor

Several people came to the vicinity of Yujingtai and successfully found Grandma Ping who was watering the flowers.

After telling Grandma Ping what had happened, she unsurprisingly joined the team to fight against the Taoist priest.

But in a place that no one noticed, Grandma Ping always looked at Zhongli with a strange look in her eyes.

(Grandma Ping: The Emperor’s action must have a deeper meaning, right?)

Being looked at like this by his old friend of thousands of years, even Zhongli, who was as steady as a rock, couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

Zhongli sent a message to Granny Ping: "Ah Ping, this matter concerns the safety of Liyue. My identity has not yet been exposed. I am sorry to trouble you."

Granny Ping responded through voice transmission: "This is the duty of us immortals. We signed a contract with the Emperor to protect Liyue, so we must do our best."

At this time, Hu Tao spoke up and interrupted the conversation between the two.

Hu Tao: "Grandma Ping, this is Zhongli, the commander-in-chief of this operation. Don't be fooled by his young age, he is actually an old man in his 60s. He is as steady as a rock when it comes to doing things. You can rest assured with him in charge."

As Hu Tao spoke, she pulled Zhongli in front of Grandma Ping and patted his back hard, trying to show her reliability as a guest in front of the immortal.

Grandma Ping smiled kindly and said, "This Mr. Zhongli is handsome and elegant, his style of doing things is calm, elegant and mature, and there is a sense of majesty between his eyebrows. He is obviously a very reliable person."

Hu Tao said in surprise: "Oh my, Grandma Ping, I didn't expect that you could also know the art of physiognomy. You are amazing. You really deserve to be Xiangling's master." Hu Tao was naturally very happy that her guest was recognized by the immortal.

But seeing Zhongli being praised by the immortal and still looking calm, Hu Tao got so angry that her face puffed up like a puffer fish.

Hu Tao: "Zhong-li-ke-qing!"

"This Grandma Ping is an immortal, you should at least show some reaction."

"Quick, Zhongli, thank Grandma Ping for the compliment."

Zhongli straightened his back calmly, stood solemnly in front of Grandma Ping, bowed, thanked, all in one go. The whole process was so smooth that Grandma Ping had no time to stop it.

"I am just a mortal, but I am appreciated and even grateful by the immortals."

Although Grandma Ping still maintained a calm expression on the surface, a closer look revealed that the corners of her mouth were twitching slightly, and it was obvious that her heart was not as calm as she appeared.

As the head of the Wangsheng Hall, Hu Tao looks young but is very serious and responsible.

Every night Hu Tao tells others that he is going to bask in the moonlight, but he is actually patrolling and guarding the boundary between life and death at Wuwang Slope.

So, for Hu Tao, coming to Wuwangpo was like returning home. She was very familiar with the terrain and roads here.

When they met the Taoist priest, Hu Tao was able to lead Lu Changsheng to find the two members of the treasure-stealing group accurately in the fog without getting lost. This was because she had memorized the way to Wuwang Slope in her mind and could walk out of Wuwang Slope with her eyes closed.

The reason why Hu Tao was trapped in the fog last time was because the two members of the treasure-hunting group were dragging their feet and were worried about getting separated from Lu Changsheng in the fog.

With Hu Tao, a guide who was familiar with the terrain, leading the way, the group avoided many detours. In addition, since these people were not ordinary people, they quickly found the boundary between life and death.

Originally, the location of the boundary between life and death was hidden by the Wangsheng Hall using a secret method. Without the Wangsheng Hall's secret method, it was impossible to open the entrance to the boundary between life and death.

But now, the entrance to the border between life and death is like an unguarded park, lying in front of several people, and anyone can find it.

The dark vortex emitted a faint blue light, and green ghost fires floated around at the entrance to the boundary between life and death. The year-round gloomy weather in Wuwangpo made the light very dim even during the day.

The most terrifying thing is that there are many members of the treasure-stealing group lying at the entrance to the border between life and death.

Although these people were not wearing the exclusive uniforms of the treasure-stealing group in the game, the crow seals that Ye Lan found on them could prove their identities. She also found many treasure maps.

Ye Lan handed the treasure map to Zhongli and said to the others, "All the members of the treasure-stealing group are still alive. They have no scars on their bodies, and they don't seem to be poisoned. We can't find the reason for their coma."

"Moreover, these people all have ordinary treasure-hunting crow seals, and there are only a few silver-hiding crow seals. Those who fell here are all minions of the treasure-stealing group."

"Based on my understanding of the Treasure Stealing Group, such a large-scale operation must be commanded by senior members of the Treasure Stealing Group, but there is not even a single Golden Crow Seal representing the status of a senior member here."

"Since they didn't evacuate with these brothers, they must have gone in."

Zhongli looked at the treasure map in his hand and said, "That is to say, someone disguised the map recording the location of the life and death boundary as a treasure map and spread it out to trick the treasure-stealing group into entering the life and death boundary."

Xingqiu nodded in agreement and said, "The members of the treasure-stealing group are mixed. It's not surprising that there are people who specialize in tomb robbing for treasure. Looking at the eerie atmosphere here and the tomb-like gate, it's not surprising that these treasure-stealing groups think this is a large tomb full of antiques."

Chongyun also nodded in agreement. Wuwang Slope was gloomy, and occasionally there was a bone-chilling wind blowing, making people shiver constantly. But with his pure yang body, he felt quite comfortable and didn't need to eat popsicles to cool down.

Lu Changsheng looked at Hu Tao who kept her head down, and thought she was worried about her location on the border between life and death being exposed, so he went up to comfort her.

Lu Changsheng: "Hu Tao, the exposure of the boundary between life and death is not caused by you alone. The war is imminent, you must be alert."

Walnut raised his head with a thoughtful expression.

Hu Tao said: "Changsheng, I was wondering how the location of the boundary between life and death was exposed?"

"The location of the boundary between life and death has always been a secret of the successive masters of the Wangsheng Hall. The only people in Liyue who know the location of the boundary between life and death are the masters of the Wangsheng Hall, the immortals, and the emperors."

"Who are the creators of these treasure maps?"

Xingqiu suddenly thought of something and became excited. He said to everyone, "Perhaps it won't be difficult to find the creator of these treasure maps!"

"Look at the paper used for these treasure maps. It's of high quality and has a light fragrance. Paper of this quality is rare in Liyue. And these treasure maps clearly show signs of aging, which means that these papers were not made very long ago."

Ye Lan also understood what Xingqiu meant: "You mean, we can use these papers to track the traces of the black man behind the scenes."

"Well, this is a good idea."

"I will order my men to search with all their strength according to this clue."

Zhongli put away the treasure map and said to the others, "Time is running out. Perhaps after we enter, we can find the mastermind behind the scenes and answer our doubts."

"Our top priority now is to enter the border between life and death and stop the mastermind from doing anything harmful to Liyue."

"So please be prepared to fight."

"Ye Lan, please notify the Thousand Rocks Army to come here and take these people from the treasure-stealing group to Liyue Prison. Since the location of the border between life and death has been exposed, there is no need to hide it. Sending the Thousand Rocks Army to guard here can also prevent ordinary people from entering by mistake."

Hu Tao had no objection to Zhongli's decision.

The location of the boundary between life and death is very important, but the location of the boundary between life and death is not fixed, but will change randomly over time. After a few years, the entrance to the boundary between life and death will move, and the location of the boundary between life and death will become a secret again.

Ye Lan nodded, took out a whistle from her pocket and blew it. A strange pigeon fell from the sky. Ye Lan took out a pen, wrote a secret letter on a piece of paper and tied it to the pigeon's leg.

Looking at the departing pigeons, Ye Lan said, "I have already sent a message to Yujingtai, and the Qianyan Army will be here soon."

Grandma Ping, who had been silent the whole time, stood up at this time and said, "After entering the boundary between life and death, we will encounter many dangers in the underworld, and the Yin energy in the underworld will damage the bodies of mortals and shorten their lifespans, so let me lend you a hand first."

Grandma Ping stomped her foot lightly on the ground, and a shock wave flew towards the few people. Out of trust in the immortal, no one dodged.

Granny Ping blaster, boy!

The shock wave turned into a stream of light and entered the bodies of several people. The weaker ones immediately felt that their body speed, strength, mental state and elemental power were greatly enhanced.

Especially Lu Changsheng, he felt that he was so strong now that he could even break two bricks with his bare hands.

"Is this the power of an immortal? It's amazing."

Grandma Ping smiled without saying a word, hiding quietly behind everyone.

Although the team has Zhongli, Liyue's top fighter, Grandma Ping is not worried about the safety of these children. But since she was pulled here by the Emperor, Grandma Ping feels that she still has to show some performance and demonstrate the power of the immortal.

Zhongli looked at the energetic and high-spirited people, nodded slightly, and said, "Let's go!"

Several people entered the border between life and death one after another. Zhongli stood at the front of the team and Grandma Ping stood at the back of the team.

Although Grandma Ping looked old and frail, and walked unsteadily, everyone had just witnessed how powerful she was as an immortal, so they naturally had no objection to her walking at the end of the team to prevent sneak attacks.

But as the team's commander-in-chief, it was a bit too risky for Zhongli to walk in front of the team that was at the greatest risk.

But even though Ye Lan and others expressed their opposition, Zhongli said: What you said makes sense, but I am the commander-in-chief, so you have to listen to me. Ye Lan and others could do nothing about it.

After all, this is not the time for internal strife in the team at this critical moment, and it is for their own good that Zhongli is walking in the front and taking risks. It would be too ignorant to continue making trouble.

(Suddenly I thought of the famous scene in Naruto, you regret and I get angry.

Ye Lan: "Zhongli, you will regret it"!

Zhongli: Yelan, I am the commander-in-chief! "

Bang——(Ye Lan slams the door and leaves)!
