Holy Lord from Teyvat

Chapter 179: Empty: A Group of Riddlers

In the end, the two sides did not fight because a Thousand Rock Army soldier appeared in time.

The soldier cursed inwardly, saying that he had things to do, and left.

Killing the Thousand Rocks Army on Liyue territory at this time is like running straight into the head of the Rock God's spear.

"Forget it, let me continue my mission."

Xiao looked at the scattered soldier's back as he left, wondering whether he should kill him.

At that moment, the other party was definitely ready to kill him. If you are a thief, you can't be on guard against thieves. Why not go up and kill him now?

But this guy seems to be a subordinate of the Ice God, and I am a subordinate of the Rock God. Will it bring trouble to Liyue if we fight now? Will the fight affect passers-by?

After much deliberation, Xiao finally put away the Nuo Mask and the Hepu Kite.

His mission is to protect Sora and Paimon, not to kill the enemy.

As for the executive officer and the one who just left, let Liyue Qixing worry about it. It just so happens that Kong and the others are going to Wangshu Inn to check on the patient, so they will ask the people there to tell Qixing later.

A few more days passed, and Sora and Paimon finally asked Mona for help under Katherine's guidance.

Mona was unable to divine the details for the time being because of incomplete information, but she could divine the location where the meteorite fell, which helped them achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Sanbing also began to investigate with his men, but the fall of the meteorite was too conspicuous, and they could not investigate openly. The Liyue officials also learned of their presence and kept a closer eye on them.

Sanbing was a little annoyed, and then he cursed the Inazuma shogunate in his heart.

Look at their efficiency, and then look at you.

……

Mondstadt.

The scattered soldiers met Kong and his group again, and this time there was also Mona.

"Hey, chit-chatting? Would you mind taking me along?"

Wow, I was in a bad mood, and I happened to meet you again. I might as well use you to relax.

While continuing to disguise himself as a good citizen, he looked around to see if there were any knights.

Mona sensed something was wrong, but before she could do any divination, a Hepu Kite came down from high above with a sound of breaking through the air and stuck upright and firmly in the center of the two sides.

欻!

Xiao appeared, standing on one foot on the Kite, facing the scattered soldiers.

Kong and the others were very surprised.

Paimon: "Xiao? Why are you..."

Before Paimon could finish his words, Mona, with her hair standing on end, came to Sora and Fischl, and immediately cast a spell, teleporting away with the three people and the bird.

As the water ball appeared and then disappeared, only the scattered soldiers and Xiao were left here.

Skirmisher: "...They actually ran away. How boring. Are you the Yaksha from Liyue? You have been guarding them the whole time?"

Xiao didn't answer, but just said: "You wanted to take action just now, right?"

The scattered soldier sneered: "Humph, so what?"

Xiao didn't say anything else, just landed on the ground, then pulled out the Hepu Kite and put on the Nuo mask.

This was the second time, how could he let him go? Did he really think that a guardian yaksha like him was well-mannered?

The scattered soldiers also began to mobilize their strength, and arcs of electricity gradually surrounded their bodies, making crackling sounds.

“Hahahaha, I heard that you are the only one left among the Yakshas who are the guardians of Liyue. I will send you to meet your companions now.”

Xiao's murderous intent surged, and veins bulged on his forehead behind the Nuo mask.

"Death!"

boom!

At a speed that was difficult for the human eye to capture, the two figures collided with each other.

In the blink of an eye, the two had already fought several rounds.

The violent wind and scattered lightning continued to devastate the place.

Many large trees were broken by wind and lightning, sand and rocks flew into the sky, and the ground of the ruins soon became bumpy.

But this is just a trial.

The two sides suddenly clashed their palms together, flew backwards, and finally landed steadily on the ground, staring at each other.

Xiao's whole body was tense, his momentum soaring. He aimed at the opponent's vital points, trying to take his head in the next moment.

At this moment, the scattered soldier felt as if he was facing a ferocious beast ready to hunt.

Then he smiled crookedly.

He raised his hands to cast a spell, and patterns made up of purple elemental power emerged under his feet.

Just as Xiao was on high alert, guessing what moves the opponent had.

The scattered soldier disappeared in the light!

Xiao instantly became extremely alert and secretly frightened at the same time.

I can't sense it! How could this guy's stealth ability be so strong?

He is a Yaksha who has been clearing out evil spirits day and night in the wilderness of Liyue for a thousand years. In terms of perception and sharpness, how many Liyue immortals can compare with him?

Chasing after Kong and the others? No, absolutely not. If there was no movement, how outrageous must this guy's strength be? He must be waiting for an opportunity in the dark.

After a while.

The Knights of Favonius who heard the news from afar saw the shadows, but the stragglers still did not appear.

"……Ran?"

Yes, the scattered soldiers didn't want to fight at all and just ran away.

Not only will it be of no benefit, but if the two gods Fengyan or a demon dragon come and interfere, they will probably tear him apart.

……

When Xiao found the anxious Kong and the others, he discovered that Kong was about to ask the ninjas to call Zheng Tian for help.

"and many more."

Xiao immediately came to their side and stopped them.

Sora and the others were startled.

"Eh?! It's Xiao, are you... done fighting?" Paimon said, scratching his head.

Sora: "Xiao, how are you? Are you not hurt?"

He had already learned from Mona that the opponent on the other side was the Fatui executive, and a very powerful one at that.

Xiao: "It's okay. We didn't use any real skills. He just feinted and ran away."

Looking at Fischl who looked a little strange, Xiao realized that everyone here knew his identity, and he didn't want to say anything more. Not all girls are as lively as the current head of the Wangsheng Hall. Staying here will only make this girl nervous.

"Zheng Tian asked me to protect you during this period. I have been in the dark these days. If you have anything, just call my name. There is no need to disturb Zheng Tian."

After leaving these words, he teleported away again.

Seeing Xiao like this, Kong and the others had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​asking.

Paimon: "I didn't expect that it was Zheng Tian who asked Xiao to protect us. What a surprise."

Kong thought thoughtfully: "It seems that Zheng Tian can't get away for the time being."

Mona: "But he actually asked the guardian Yaksha to help us. I really don't know what to say."

Fischl breathed a sigh of relief: "A true immortal."

Paimon held his chin with his hand, showing a somewhat disdainful expression, and jokingly said: "Aiya, Fischl, you are obviously good friends with Zheng Tian, ​​but you were scared by Xiao and even spoke like a normal person."

Oz: "Uh, Lord Paimon, these are two different things. The princess respects her elders, but she should have another attitude towards her friends. This is the strict etiquette of the royal family."

Fischl: "Ahem, what Oz said really struck me as true."

Mona also became interested and joked, "Your Highness, that person is still watching from the dark. And it was the same a few days ago."

Fischl: “…Aaaaaaaaa!”

Fischl immediately squatted down on the spot, holding her head and screaming.

It's so shameful to do this in front of an immortal who is over a thousand years old!

Xiao silently covered his ears.

Although this guy is different from Walnut, he is also quite noisy.

A few days later, Sora, Paimon, and Mona finally found out that there might be a meteorite core at Musk Reef. Because they had to cross the sea, Xiao simply went with them on a boat, but he noticed something before going ashore and immediately hid in the dark.

There they met the stragglers again.

After listening to San Bing's stories about the False Sky, San Bing wanted to leave, but Xiao took action immediately upon seeing this.

Unfortunately, the scattered soldiers were well prepared. He sent a group of elite soldiers with sophisticated weapons to attack Kong. As soon as Xiao was distracted for a moment, the scattered soldiers slipped away again.

Although they finally solved the core of the meteorite, what they saw was obviously different from what the scattered soldiers had learned.

Xiao: "False Heaven... This matter needs to be reported to the Emperor."

……

"Everyone, please don't tell anyone about this." Zhongli paused while holding the tea and said to Kong and the others.

Sora: "So Zhongli, you knew about this?"

Zhongli: "I can't tell you, but you will know later."

Sora: "...Okay, I'm going to the Adventurer's Guild to turn in the quest. Paimon, Mona, let's go."

A group of riddlers, a headache.
