The journey to Teyvat from the Abyss Mage

Chapter 109: Ghosts Walk the Night in This World

As everyone knows, among the seven stars of Liyue, only two have publicly disclosed their identities as the rulers. In Liyue's public activities, the other five have buried themselves deeply among the people. Therefore, all those who want to bring disaster to Liyue will find that they not only have to face suffocatingly powerful enemies in the open, but also have to be on guard against cold arrows hiding in the dark at all times.

There was once a swindler who got genuine immortal instruments and talismans from nowhere, and used them to cheat people. In the end, he secretly cultivated a considerable cult organization in Liyue. The swindler became very ambitious and tried to replace the Seven Stars. However, during a secret meeting, he just shouted that he wanted to establish the "Kingdom of God on Earth", and his little brother who had been following him to cheat stabbed him in the back with a knife, sending him to the Kingdom of God.

Afterwards, everyone found out that this little brother who had followed the liar for three years was actually Tianshu Xing's subordinate! And just after this incident was over, this person disappeared from the world of Liyue, and no one saw him again.

The Seven Stars of Liyue have their eyes and hands spread all over Liyue. They use these secret agents and spies to control the entire Liyue from behind the veil.

But over time, the Seven Stars have forgotten one thing: spies and secret agents are also human beings. They also have their own desires and dark sides. If they can be used by the Seven Stars, they can naturally open some secret loopholes for certain industries within the scope of their own authority and responsibilities.

When the world is at peace for a long time, no matter how wise the monarch is, he will become lazy. This laziness does not mean that he is no longer diligent in governing the country and loving the people, but that he has lost the necessary vigilance against certain hidden risks. It is this laziness that has caused the Seven Stars to lose the control they should have over the gray industry.

And today, they surfaced on their own, in the most violent and bloody way.

In Liyue Harbor, Ningguang, dressed in the clothes of an ordinary girl, stared gloomily at the three tightly-dressed men who knelt tremblingly at her feet. In her hand, she did not hold her usual pipe, but a half-arm-long dagger that flashed with a cold light.

"Give me an explanation." Her voice was as cold as a snake emerging from its hole.

“Ning, Lord Ningguang, we, we…” The man kneeling in the middle was trembling, like a mouse targeted by its natural enemy.

He had a close relationship with the owner of a "tavern". Every month, the shifty-eyed man would give him a large sum of money and select the most beautiful girls to "accompany him drinking". He had always been very cautious about this matter and thought that there were no flaws, but he never thought that such a day would come.

“Forget it. I don’t want to ask any more questions. Whether you plead guilty or not is not important to me.” Ningguang said coldly, “I didn’t expect that such a dirty thing was done by my people.”

"Lord Ningguang, I'm so sorry." The man finally couldn't hold it in any longer and burst into tears. "I, I was blinded by money, so I did this. Please, for all the years I've worked for you, please forgive me!"

“Give him a break?” Ningguang laughed at herself. She sighed deeply and helped the trembling man up.

"Ah Ming, you and your father are both fishermen, so you should be good at swimming, right?"

“Yes, yes.” Amin answered timidly. Ningguang’s sudden tenderness made him a little overwhelmed.

"Okay, then, since you want me to go easy on you..." Ningguang smiled gently, and suddenly grabbed Amin's neck with her right hand. She flipped the dagger in her left hand, and a cold light and blood flashed at the same time. Amin fell to the ground with a scream, and his limbs kept twitching. There was a thin wound on his wrists and ankles. There was not much bleeding, but Amin seemed to have lost control of his hands and feet. He screamed and tried to cover the wounds with his hands, but his hands were completely powerless and could only be placed on the wounds like two pieces of rags.

The next second, Ningguang's slender fingers clamped his neck again. Amid the sound of crackling, Ningguang dragged Amin towards the port mercilessly. The wound on his ankle oozed blood, leaving two thin blood lines on the dock.

Walking to the end of the pier, Ningguang looked at the rough sea in the white mist and laughed mockingly. She lightly picked up Ah Ming, who was like a dead dog in her hands, and said softly:

"Want to live? Swim back here and climb onto the dock by yourself, and I'll let you go."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ningguang shook her hand in disgust and threw Amin into the sea. At the same time, three rock elemental gems caught up with Amin's body. They exploded one after another, blasting his body farther away.

She never intended to let Amin live, she just wanted him to die in more pain.

Ningguang was in no mood to deal with the remaining two losers who had fainted from fright. She rewarded each of them with a gem and blew their heads to pieces. Then she turned around and faced Yuhengxing Keqing, who also had a frosty face.

"The Qianyan Army has already deployed defenses everywhere." Keqing, a delicate girl in a purple dress, said calmly. Looking at the two corpses at Ningguang's feet, a trace of undisguised disgust flashed in her smart eyes.

“These people deserve to be put to death!” Keqing bit her teeth lightly.

Ningguang sighed sadly, looking through the thick white fog at the street in the distance.

"How many people did we stop just now?"

Hearing this question, Keqing closed her eyes slightly, as if to drive some unpleasant scenes out of her mind. She tidied up the few strands of purple hair that were scattered on her forehead and said softly: "Not a single one. They... have no desire to live at all. Before we can persuade them, they have already..." She couldn't continue. A crystal tear slid down her cheek and dissipated in the cold sea breeze before it hit the ground.

Just like those young lives.

“It’s all my fault,” Keqing lowered her head and said softly, “If I had been more serious and checked more carefully, perhaps…”

Ningguang raised her hand and touched the purple-haired girl's head. Listening to her suppressed sobs, a strange light suddenly lit up in her eyes.

"Liyue, when did such disgusting termites appear..."

"No words, no questions!"

Following Ningguang's shout, two young men in shorts appeared silently beside Ningguang, the purple thunder god's eyes on their waists shining brightly.

"Notify the other five stars that they no longer need to hide. Use all their strength and dig out all similar industries! All those involved will be arrested and await trial! Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy!"

"Also, send someone to keep an eye on the North Country Bank, and dispatch three more elite soldiers to keep a close eye on the whereabouts of Special Envoy Inazuma. You, Wuyan." Ningguang nodded at the silent young man. "Be responsible for following the whereabouts of the three Mondstadt travelers, and report to me immediately if there is anything unusual."

"Yes!" The two men bowed and accepted the order. Another breeze blew by, and their figures disappeared into the mist.

“Keqing, you’ve been working hard on Liyue’s public security during this period.” Ningguang patted Keqing, who had calmed down and resumed her vigorous and resolute work style. “Now is not the time to blame yourself. You know what we should do.”

Keqing nodded heavily.

“Liyue hasn’t seen blood for more than ten years.” Ningguang took a deep breath, turned around and looked at the sea again. In the distance, there was a small black dot floating up and down. It was Amin who was thrown out by her.

"This time, we'll let those bugs have their fill!"
