Genshin Impact: Legend of the Emperor

When Hu Tao and others returned to the base and turned on the signal tracking to check Chongyun's battle, Chongyun had already started fighting with the Shadow Demon.

The surrounding Qianyan Army was evacuating the onlookers from Liyue. When the camera turned, the figures of Xiao and Xingqiu could be seen.

Shadow Demon (Second member of the Treasure Thieves): "Damn you, damn you! I'm going to split your armor in half."

King Kong Chongyun looked at the shadow demon who had been hacking at the place for a long time, but there was not even a scratch on his armor. He patted his chest armor and said disdainfully: "Hit here!"

As expected, the Shadow Demon's seemingly fierce attack couldn't even shake King Kong Chongyun's body, let alone cause him any injuries.

King Kong Chongyun stomped his feet, shaking the ground around him. Chongyun took a stance, blocked the straight punch of the shadow demon, and took advantage of the opportunity when the enemy was in a state of paralysis and had no time to turn around to defend himself to punch hard.

King Kong Chongyun: "King Kong Mountain and Sea Fist!!!"

Still as a mountain, moving as thunder, with the might of mountains and seas. This powerful move was integrated with the light power of the light and shadow armor. The shadow demon didn't even have a chance to resist and escape, and was directly shattered into ashes.

The shadow power that lost its carrier floated in the air. Chongyun stepped forward and used his own willpower to condense it into a card, sealed it inside the Diamond Armor Summoning Device, and used the light power that filled the summoning device to wear down and eliminate the shadow power.

At this time, Ying's eyes lit up when she saw the shadow card in Chongyun's hand in the underground base of Wangsheng Hall, which reminded her of the card of Frost Armor Hill King [Uku] that she had obtained from Diluk before.

After several attempts, Ying discovered that she could actually use the power of Uku through cards. Could it be that the Light and Shadow Armor has the ability to turn the enemy into a card after defeating it? ! !

It was just that from the previous chat, Ying learned that Liyue's attitude towards the power of shadow was firmly opposed to anyone's contact, so even if he wanted to try to use the power of shadow, he would be rejected. Most importantly, even Ying himself was not sure whether he could use the power of shadow with the power of the debt king armor without being affected by the power of shadow.

Judging from the intelligence collected by Liyue so far, the greedy general named Sun Dao Ren can use the power of shadow to bring out the evil thoughts in the adults' hearts and turn them into powerful shadow demons.

Looking at the ugly appearance of the Shadow Demon, Ying felt that her strength was enough. She would wait until later to contact the power of the Shadow.

After sealing the monster, King Kong Chongyun drove the shuttle back to the underground base of Wangsheng Hall amid the cheers of the audience, with Xingqiu and the Great Demon Sage Xiao following behind him.

As the base camp of the Armor Hero Liyue distribution, here are the Earth Tiger Armor Rock King Emperor, the Flying Shadow Armor Xingqiu, the Diamond Armor Chongyun, and the Xingtian Armor which has not yet appeared. The combat power distribution of the Armor Hero even exceeds that of Mondstadt.

Because of the business nature of Wangsheng Hall, although it is located in a busy city, few people pay attention to it. Even the occasional passers-by will speed up and leave immediately. The transportation is convenient and it is located in the center of Liyue. Even if they encounter the appearance of the Night Demon, they can react in time.

It's an ideal place for a secret base.

Because there were many people in the Qun Yu Pavilion, and even though Tian Quanxing ordered everyone not to disturb the immortal, everyone still couldn't control their curiosity and secretly observed the immortal.

All Xiaos usually rest in the Hall of Rebirth.

The employees of the Wangsheng Hall are bold and careful, and they firmly adhere to the survival rule of not having unnecessary curiosity. Even if they see a transparent figure in the middle of the night, they would pretend not to see it, or hear a girl's laughter from the coffin, they would pretend not to hear it.

Even when they saw Xiao, the demon-slaying sage, walking around inside the Hall of Rebirth, these employees were able to remain calm and continue with their work, with no intention of going up to the immortal and getting close to him.

Normally, when Xiao returned to the Hall of Rebirth, he would go straight back to the room arranged for him by Zhongli Keqing to rest. But this time, he followed Xingqiu into the secret underground base.

Seeing the Demon-Subduing Great Sage coming in, the people who were just playing and joking stood up and greeted him: "Demon-Subduing Great Sage!!!"

Xiao said in a deep voice: "Everyone, don't be so polite. I came here today to tell you something."

Several people looked at each other, and Hu Tao stood up and asked on behalf of everyone: "The Great Sage who conquers demons invites me, so we will definitely cooperate."

There is no way. Even the quirky Hu Tao is a little afraid of Xiao. This immortal Xiao looks young, but he is definitely the grandfather of Hu Tao’s grandfather’s grandfather... People of that generation are tough guys who have experienced the war between demons and gods.

If you are disrespectful to this immortal, you will probably be blamed by your ancestors in the underworld.

Xiao saw the unfamiliar Ying and Paimon in the crowd, and after thinking for a moment, he thought that what he was going to say was not a secret, and the person who could be taken back to the secret base by these little guys must be a trustworthy person. Xiao no longer hesitated and said, "I have been tracking down the whereabouts of the Taoist priest these days. The shadow demon that appeared in Liyue is an unforgivable person. It is not surprising that he turned to the shadow under the temptation of that person."

"After investigating the background of the Shadow Demon that appeared today, I found that a group called the Immortal Worship Cult among the people of Liyue is likely related to Shadow. The Shadow Demon that appeared today is from the Immortal Worship Cult."

"The Immortal Worship Sect?" Hu Tao muttered to himself, "I seem to have heard of it somewhere."

"Oh yeah, now I remember, isn't that an organization founded by Changsheng's fans?"

Facing everyone's questioning looks, Lu Changsheng pointed at himself with a puzzled look on his face: "Me!?"

Fortunately, at this time, Ye Lan came in and rescued Lu Changsheng.

Ye Lan handed a large pile of information to everyone and said, "This is the information I collected about the Baixian Sect. Everyone, please take a look."

"After Xiao Shangxian asked us to investigate this organization, we discovered many interesting things within it."

"You really don't know until you check. Once you check, you'll be shocked. In just three months, a sect with hundreds of thousands of members has developed among the people of Liyue. The followers include people from all walks of life in Liyue, from dock laborers to officials of Yujingtai. Some have joined this organization."

Lu Changsheng frowned as he looked at the information in his hand and said, "Although the people of Liyue have the custom and practice of praying to the immortals, they have always only sought peace of mind. Those who really put all their hopes on the immortals are those who go into the mountains to look for immortals, and those are the ones that the scammers deceive."

Ye Lan smiled and said, "It was like this before. Most Liyue people only prayed for peace when they worshipped immortals. But ever since an immortal appeared in Liyue openly and then mysteriously disappeared, things have changed."

Xiangling asked, "Is it the 'Coffin-Imperial Immortal' who caused such a stir in Liyue? When I was in Mondstadt, I heard the Liyue envoys who were sent to Mondstadt talking about this matter."

Ye Lan nodded and looked at Lu Changsheng with a look that concealed an unspeakable meaning: "Yes, it's the Immortal who controls the coffin."

"Although for a long time, those who were eyeing the title of the Imperial Coffin Immortal were all liars, but since who knows when, a real Imperial Coffin Immortal has quietly appeared."

Hu Tao pulled Lu Changsheng's sleeve and said angrily, "But Changsheng never appeared as an immortal afterwards. I can testify for him."

Xingqiu and the others also nodded in agreement. It was obvious that someone was using Lu Changsheng's reputation as an immortal to deceive the people of Liyue. Maybe that evil Taoist was behind all this.

Ye Lan spread her hands and said, "I am willing to imagine Lu Changsheng as well. But in the eyes of the people of Liyue, the Immortal-Worshipping Cult's Imperial Coffin Immortal is using the methods of an immortal to bless them. Even if he is not the same person as the Imperial Coffin Immortal who appeared before, even if Lu Changsheng goes out now to clarify and prove that he is a fake, no one will believe it."

"Because the real coffin-bearing immortal did not bless them, but the coffin-bearing immortal of the Baixian Sect will bless them to have their wishes come true."

For a moment, the secret underground base of the Wangsheng Hall fell into silence.

The only sounds left were the exhaust fan turning and the ticking of the equipment running in the base.

Xiao broke the silence and said, "Do you know why immortals rarely bless the people of Liyue?"

"Because this will make people think that they can just rely on the immortals to get everything done, but true happiness is obtained through one's own efforts. Even immortals have their strength exhausted. If the people of Liyue only know how to take, then what is the point of the immortals protecting Liyue!"

After saying this, Xiao turned and left. For him who was not good at speaking, the fact that he could speak these profound truths with great effort was already a manifestation of his potential.

In the past, he would just leave and catch the mastermind himself. But because of the emperor's request, he could only guide these young people and protect them.

Ye Lan walked to the middle of the crowd and said loudly: "Don't think too much. Our goal is to find out whether there is any connection between the Baixian Sect and the Shadow. Let the Seven Stars handle the rest."

"Thinking too much will only cause more trouble for yourself."

The atmosphere in the secret base was no longer stagnant, but it had not returned to its previous cheerful atmosphere. It was obvious that everyone had different opinions on Ye Lan's answer.

Ye Lan walked up to Lu Changsheng and asked in a low voice, "How is the device that Qixing asked you to make going?"

Lu Changsheng took out a pair of glasses from his pocket and handed them to Ye Lan, saying, "Put on these glasses and you will be able to see the traces of the power of shadow."

As he spoke, he placed a transparent glass bottle on the table and motioned for Ye Lan to put on glasses and observe the bottle.

Ye Lan borrowed the glasses and looked at them carefully. From the outside, they looked like ordinary glasses and there was nothing special about them. If there was anything special about them, it would be that the color of the lenses was yellow.

After putting on the glasses, Ye Lan looked at the glass bottle that Lu Changsheng had placed on the table. She saw a black mist floating in the originally transparent glass bottle.

Lu Changsheng explained: "Do you see that black mist? That is the power of shadow."

"If you use glasses to observe and find that a person is covered in black mist, then there is a high probability that he is affected by the power of shadow."

Ye Lan, wearing glasses, turned around and looked at the people in the base. He saw that the black mist in the summoning devices in Xingqiu and Chongyun's pockets was constantly struggling, and was shrinking and dimming at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Seeing that the glasses were so effective, Ye Lan nodded with satisfaction. After instructing several people not to act on their own, he wore the glasses and rushed towards the Qun Yu Pavilion.

Before Ying, the traveler, arrived in Liyue, the battles with the shadow demons were minor, and the real shadow masters had not yet appeared. But now that several people have sent out a notice, it is not far from the large-scale action of the shadow forces.

What if there are a few shadow demons lurking in the Baixian Sect, and these young armored warriors rush in and get killed in one fell swoop, the loss will be huge.

Fortunately, although these people in the secret base look very young, they are all meticulous people. If someone really wants to attack the lair in a fit of anger, they will be stopped by Xiao, the guardian immortal.

After repeated instructions, Ye Lan turned into a silk thread, passing through the deserted streets and alleys in Liyue Harbor, and quickly approached the Qun Yu Pavilion.

After saying her own secret code, Ye Lan successfully arrived at the Qun Yu Pavilion suspended in the air with the help of the Floating Stone Elevator.

This group of Jade Pavilions floats high in the sky, not only able to monitor the entire Liyue Harbor, but also able to transform into a war fortress and an inspiring banner even in times of war. As long as the group of Jade Pavilions still floats over Liyue, the people of Liyue know that they have not been abandoned.

However, due to the height of this group of jade pavilions, it is difficult for the armies of other countries in Teyvat to come up with effective means of attack. The cornerstone of the group of jade pavilions is solid, and every brick and stone on it is engraved with defensive runes. They were all engraved bit by bit by the alchemists sent from Liyue at a high price by Ningguang.

Such a defensive measure could probably only be broken by Mond's elemental cannons and continuous bombardment.

dong dong.

"Come in," Ningguang's elegant yet friendly voice came from her office.

Ye Lan pushed the door open and walked in.

Although Ye Lan and Ning Guang's relationship is like that of bad friends, Ning Guang is still her superior in name after all, so she still has to be polite. Moreover, as a Tianquan Star, Ning Guang holds the secrets of the entire Liyue. If Ye Lan suddenly breaks in and sees something she shouldn't see, it will be a big trouble.

Although Ye Lan is not afraid of trouble, it is better to avoid such unnecessary trouble as much as possible.

In the exclusive office of Tianquan Star, Ningguang was slacking off while her "three hundred" secretary was helping her with work matters.

Ye Lan said: "The device for detecting the power of shadow that I asked Lu Changsheng to develop is now ready."

Ningguang looked up and said, "Oh! Bring it here and let me see it."

"Wait! Let me see if you are affected by the shadow first." Ye Lan said with a smile and put on her glasses.

Having said that, Ye Lan did not think that Ningguang would really be affected by the power of shadow. After all, the protection level of the Qun Yu Pavilion was abnormal. Since Ningguang returned to Liyue, she had been staying in Liyue Harbor and had no chance to come into contact with the power of shadow.

But when Ye Lan put on the glasses and looked at Ningguang, the smile on her face disappeared.
