Chapter 267 - Chapter 266: Eve of the Lantern Rite Festival, Beisht

At this moment on the Jade Chamber, Shenhe, Lumine, and Paimon had all arrived.

Lumine saw Ningguang standing in front of the Jade Chamber and hurriedly ran over.

"Miss Ningguang, there's something I need to tell you!"

"There's a big monster in the sea called Beisht, and she's about to emerge!"

Paimon flew to Ningguang side, anxiously warning her.

"Thank you all for coming to warn me."

"However, I already knew all of this."

Ningguang looked at Lumine and the others beside her, speaking.

Then the Jade Chamber activated, flying toward the direction of the sea.

At this moment on the sea surface, countless water tornadoes rose up, connecting to the sky above.

These water tornadoes were quite small, completely incomparable to those summoned by Osial.

Then a massive bolt of lightning struck down from the sky into the sea surface.

Afterward, a whirlpool spun frantically on the sea surface.

From within emerged a gigantic form, slowly raising its head.

"ROAR!!!"

It roared angrily toward the sky above.

Even though she knew this was a suicidal act, she still wanted to avenge Osial.

"So she has come after all?"

"The Maelstrom lingering power, Beisht."

Ningguang stepped forward, looking at the massive creature on the sea surface, speaking with furrowed brows.

"You mean Miss Ningguang knew all along!"

Paimon looked at Ningguang before her, asking in surprise.

"Beidou has keen perception of oceanic changes."

"She warned me long ago."

Ningguang looked at Paimon and the others beside her, explaining.

"I imagine this time, it's because her husband was slain by Immortal Lord."

"Flying the Jade Chamber forward this time is also to lure her out from the sea."

Ningguang looked at Beisht roaring angrily at the Jade Chamber on the sea surface, speaking.

"I see."

"Then let's go find the adepti to help us, Cloud Retainer happens to be..."

Paimon was about to say something when Ningguang stopped her with one hand.

"There's no need..."

Ningguang looked at the jade stone in her hand, contemplating for a moment before slowly speaking.

"In the age of human governance, the people of Liyue Harbor..."

Ningguang slightly closed her eyes, making hand seals.

Golden aura surged around her body—an extremely powerful Geo elemental force.

"The people of Liyue Harbor must also try."

"To overcome this crisis with their own strength."

Ningguang opened her eyes, golden diamond-shaped lights emerging around her, then placed her hands together and swept them forward!

Immediately behind the Jade Chamber appeared a massive diamond-shaped golden light formed by Geo elemental power!

Then the golden light flickered with glowing points, countless golden Geo elemental condensates shooting toward Beisht in the sea!

"Roar!"

Beisht let out a pained cry after being struck.

At this moment within Liyue Harbor, the Five Yakshas stood on rooftops, calmly observing Beisht.

"If the people of Liyue cannot resolve this."

"We will eliminate Beisht with the greatest speed."

Bosacius looked at Beisht on the sea surface with focused eyes, speaking slowly.

Outside the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, Hu Tao looked at the massive Beisht, staring with her beautiful plum blossom eyes.

"Good heavens, how is it that after eliminating one, there's still another one."

"We're done for, Immortal Lord isn't here this time, we're really done for."

Hu Tao looked at Qiu Yue beside her, speaking with her head lowered.

"Haha..."

"Director Hu need not be so dejected, we just need to watch."

Qiu Yue looked at the massive Beisht on the sea surface, a faint light emanating from her pupils, then spoke with a smile.

"Oh my goodness!"

"Qiu Yue, how do your eyes glow!"

Hu Tao looked at Qiu Yue blue eyes actually emitting light, speaking in shock.

Upon hearing this, the light in Qiu Yue pupils gradually disappeared.

Meanwhile, Beisht on the sea surface seemed to be watched by something, fearfully looking around her surroundings.

Standing on the mountain peak were Qiu Bai, Cloud Retainer, Azhdaha, and Zhongli.

They were observing this great battle.

"Hmm..."

Qiu Bai stood with his hands behind his back, his pupils slightly condensing, and saw a figure under the beach below Beisht.

"This, this is Ei?"

Qiu Bai looked at the figure under the beach, speaking in shock.

"No... it seems there's someone else."

"Venti?!"

Qiu Bai sensed the scene of the two people.

"Why are you stopping me Barbatos?"

"I want to cut down this monster."

At this moment, Raiden Ei held the Musou Isshin in her hand, looking at Venti who kept obstructing her, asking with furrowed brows.

"Hey, hey?!"

"Don't be impulsive, put your sword away first."

"Let them resolve this matter themselves."

Venti looked at the stubborn Raiden Ei before him, hurriedly waving his hands.

As a friend of Qiu Bai and Zhongli, he naturally knew that this crisis should be resolved by the people of Liyue themselves.

"Let them resolve it themselves?"

"Nonsense, how could mortal strength possibly defeat that monster."

After Raiden Ei finished speaking, she raised the Musou Isshin, aiming it at Beisht position.

She was about to strike down with one slash!

When she was halfway through the strike, Venti clapped his hands together and directly caught the slash.

Immediately, the massive lightning power sent all the sand on the beach flying!

"Don't be impulsive."

"Ow~ that slash made my hands all numb."

Venti lowered his hands, shaking them vigorously and even blowing on them.

"Barbatos..."

"Are you going to be my enemy?"

Raiden Ei looked at Venti before her, speaking with furrowed brows.

"Hey~ wait wait wait, I never said I wanted to be your enemy."

"Geez! Why can't you just listen to me properly?"

Venti looked at Raiden Ei before him, covering his forehead.

"This is the nation that Qiu Bai protects."

"I want to help him clear all obstacles."

Raiden Ei crossed her arms over her chest, looking at Venti before her, speaking.

"Qiu Bai?"

"But this was his suggestion, to let the people of Liyue resolve it themselves."

Venti looked at Raiden Ei before him, somewhat confused as he spread his hands.

"He said it himself..."

"But... why?"

Raiden Ei looked at Venti before her, asking with a confused expression.

"It's like this."

Venti looked at Raiden Ei before him.

He explained about when Zhongli and Qiu Yue, along with Azhdaha and Hu Tao, traveled to Mondstadt.

At that time, Zhongli had walked alone with Venti to a mountain peak and talked about many things.

Among these matters were expectations for the people of Liyue, as well as a future without gods.

"I see..."

"So Morax and Qiu Bai chose this path?"

Raiden Ei nodded, then put the Musou Isshin in her hand away.

Lightning flickered in her eyes as she looked toward Beisht's position.

"But relying only on humans."

"Can they really defeat that ordinary Archon-level power?"

Raiden Ei furrowed her brows, murmuring.

However, since these were words spoken by Qiu Bai, she would just watch.

"Geez~ why be so worried."

"If the people of Liyue really can't defeat her, you can just cut her down with one slash."

Venti looked at the frowning Raiden Ei, spreading his hands.

Then he also turned his gaze toward Beisht in the sea.
