"What!?"
Madame Ping's words startled everyone.
Abyss? Who is the guest from the Abyss?
With a swish, everyone's gaze turned in one direction, then quickly moved away from him.
"Who exactly are you? You are not a Sumeru scholar!" Ningguang's voice was quite serious.
The young man, or Enjou, stood up unhurriedly, waving his hand to put away a box of Mora that belonged to him.
"Hehehehe~"
Enjou shed his human form, revealing the appearance of a Pyro Abyss Lector.
He glanced at Madame Ping, who was standing with the others. "As expected of a Liyue Adeptus, you do have some tricks up your sleeve. I thought I could perfectly hide it, but I didn't expect to be discovered."
Enjou was not in a hurry as he watched the Vision wielders surround him.
He spoke again: "What I told you just now is also true. Our target is only Osial."
"Of course, if you Liyue wish to start a war, we can accompany you to the very end."
"Hmph, you think you can destroy Liyue with just these Abyss Order members outside? Aren't you being too naive?" Ningguang said coldly.
"Heh heh, are your trump cards those Adepti who don't meddle in worldly affairs, or that God of War Morax? Oh, now he's the social outcast Zhongli."
Enjou's words almost made the people present lose their composure.
Morax, God of War, that's fine.
Morax = Zhongli? Zhongli = social outcast.
So who is Zhongli?
Could it be that Wangsheng Funeral Parlor consultant?
It seems if it's him, that title can indeed be used—hmm, social outcast.
Especially Keqing, who was so shocked that she almost dropped the sword in her hand.
Meow meow meow?
What nonsense is this Abyss Lector spouting?
The Geo Archon isn't dead, and he's Zhongli?
She knows Zhongli, and he's a complete "anti-Archon" just like her.
"Heh heh, don't bother thinking. They can't save you." Enjou sneered, "The Adepti you hoped for have already been blocked by us outside Guyun Stone Forest."
"And the Geo Archon Morax, on whom you place such high hopes, cannot do anything at all in front of that existence."
"What did you say, Abyss? You are not allowed to belittle the Archon!"
Keqing charged out first, her weapon emitting electric light.
"Wait, Keqing!"
Ningguang wanted to pull Keqing back, but she was a step too late.
"Lightning Stiletto, clear the way!"
Extreme anger quickly filled Keqing's Elemental Burst gauge.
"The Vision's Elemental Burst is just something we in the Abyss have discarded."
Watching Keqing transform into countless sword shadows, whistling and stabbing towards him.
Enjou merely extended his hand and grabbed forward.
Clang—
The sound of metal colliding.
Enjou caught Keqing, who had turned into an afterimage and attacked from the front, or more precisely, he grabbed the one-handed sword Keqing was wielding.
Keqing was held in a stalemate, suspended in mid-air.
Her cat-like eyes widened.
"No, impossible!"
Her Elemental Burst was actually interrupted so easily.
"Keqing, move aside!"
Ningguang's voice came from behind her. Keqing sensed a strong Geo element fluctuation, immediately abandoned her weapon, and dodged far away.
"Jade Screen Burst"
Dozens of Geo-attribute gems attacked Enjou from different directions.
Enjou neither dodged nor avoided, he gently shook the hand holding the blade, and the sword performed a flourish.
Enjou grasped the hilt of the one-handed sword.
"A clerk also needs to know some martial arts, otherwise it will be hard to make a living in the Abyss."
A few "clang clang clang" sounded.
Enjou wielded the sword in his hand so fast that he blocked the gems released by Ningguang's Elemental Burst with almost no misses.
"It was actually so easy…" Ningguang's face also showed a shocked expression.
She couldn't help but feel a little horrified in her heart.
Are these Abyss creatures called Abyss Lectors really that powerful?
Outside Liyue, there seemed to be more than a dozen others that looked similar.
Moreover, from Enjou's mouth, they also knew that the Abyss not only blocked the Adepti, but even the Geo Archon was stopped.
Secondly, after doing all this.
The Abyss still had the strength to unseal Osial, and it was likely still fighting Osial.
With the Abyss being so powerful, did Liyue still have hope?
"Heh… Liyue Qixing, your strength isn't all that great. You can't even defeat a clerk on the fringes of our order, sigh~"
Enjou's tone revealed a hint of regret.
Then, he casually threw the one-handed sword in his hand towards Keqing.
Among the people present, except for Madame Ping and Ganyu, no one reacted at all.
That slender one-handed sword was already stuck in the ground in front of Keqing, half of it embedded in the floor of the Jade Chamber.
"How about it, this Liyue Adeptus, and this Qilin lady, as long as you don't run around before our Princess finishes taking Osial, we won't take any action against Liyue."
"I'm a clerk, and I don't like fighting and killing; it's too unrefined."
Enjou narrowed his eyes, staring at the teapot in Madame Ping's hand, and smiled: "Are you hesitating whether to use the item in your hand to seal me?"
"Are you worried that you can't seal it, or that you won't be able to seal it?"
Madame Ping didn't speak, the vicissitudes in her eyes carrying a hint of depth.
After a long time, she sighed:
"Liyue will abide by the agreement and will not interfere with the Abyss in any way, but please also ensure that you do as you say."
"Otherwise, if we fight to the death, you won't fare well either."
"Of course! We in the Abyss are more faithful to our promises than you humans and Adepti."
Enjou finished speaking, and grabbed behind him.
An oval portal appeared.
Before entering the portal, Enjou said with a smile: "Don't worry, it won't take too long. At most three hours, everything will be settled."
The Abyss portal slowly disappeared as Enjou entered it.
"Madame, you…" Yanfei wanted to say something.
Madame Ping shook her head: "I don't have the confidence to keep him here. The Abyss power on him is even dozens of times that of a typical Abyss Lector."
"Let's wait. Just three hours. Our primary goal now is to ensure the safety of everyone in Liyue."
Madame Ping stepped forward and apologized to Ningguang: "I'm sorry, Ningguang, this old woman made a decision for you without permission."
Originally, Liyue was intended to be ruled by humans, but now it has become a mess, especially after Enjou spoke, everyone present knew that the Geo Archon was not dead, and his identity was still the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor consultant Zhongli.
"No, even if it wasn't you, I probably would have made a similar decision." Ningguang shook her head and said.
...
The direction of Guyun Stone Forest.
Dozens of Abyss Heralds, Abyss Lectors, and Ruin Guards.
Blocking the path of several Adepti.
As the battle progressed, Abyss Heralds and Ruin Guards were continuously killed by the Adepti.
However, the state of the Adepti was not very good either, especially Xiao.
His eyes were red, affected by the power of the Abyss, and he showed a faint tendency to go berserk.
"We can't deal with the Golden Wolflord in a short time at all." Xianyun stared at the nearly thousand-meter-tall Golden Wolflord.
The Golden Wolflord's strength was considerably stronger than theirs individually; only by working together could they suppress it.
The most terrifying aspects were the Golden Wolflord's recovery ability and the Abyss rules, which were even more terrifying than those of other Abyss members, capable of even corroding their Adeptal power.
"Has Lord Archon not arrived yet?" Mountain Shaper said anxiously.
Although there weren't many enemies left, only three or four Abyss Heralds and about ten Abyss Mages.
But the problem was, this Golden Wolflord was the main obstacle in front of them.
If this continued, they might not be able to defeat the opponent.
Perhaps as the influence of the Abyss aura deepened, they might even fall.
"The Archon has sent a message." Moon Carver suddenly said, then paused, frowning deeply.
"What's wrong?" Xianyun dodged an attack from the Golden Wolflord and urged Moon Carver, who hadn't spoken, "Speak, why aren't you speaking? Where's the Archon?"
"Lord Archon is being held back by the enemy and cannot break free for now. We can only find a way ourselves."
"Impossible! The Archon is invincible! Could it be that one of the Seven Archons and the Abyss have joined forces?"
Xianyun retorted loudly.
