Genshin Impact: Return of the Water Queen

Chapter 49 Between the Clouds

Kong waved to the Apostle of the Abyss behind him.

"Your Highness, what do you want me to do?" The Apostle of the Abyss took a step forward, bent down, and waited for Kong's command.

Kong said to the Abyss Apostle: "Find a few more people and follow her to release the power of "Chi"! Whether it is the remnant of the demon's energy or the remains, I need them all!"

"Yes!" The Apostle of the Abyss nodded.

Kong continued to look at the backs of Luo Chaya and the others until they disappeared from Luo Chaya's sight. "Water God Egolia, although you are a variable beyond our plan, we are also capable of dealing with variables! The abyss will eventually submerge the "throne of God", overthrow the "law of heaven", and reshape all order in this world."

Luo Chaya didn't know what happened here after she left. After accompanying Qiqi to collect the last bit of medicinal herbs, she was ready to leave Qingce Manor and return to Liyue Harbor.

"Qiqi, do you know the way to Hulao Mountain?" Luo Chaya asked Qiqi.

"Hulao Mountain...Qiqi, remember!" After hearing Luo Chaya's question, Qiqi thought for a moment and finally nodded and answered.

Luo Chaya continued, "Before you go back, let's go to Hulao Mountain. It's a good opportunity to see what the Abyss Cult is up to."

"I will follow your wishes." Lottia bowed and said.

Qiqi grabbed Luo Chaya's hand with one hand and pointed in the direction of Hulao Mountain with the other hand, saying, "Let's go together! Hulao Mountain is in that direction! Qiqi, don't forget!"

After determining the direction, Luo Chaya led Qiqi and Lotiya in that direction. The three of them passed by Dihuazhou and Wangshu Inn. This time they did not run into Xiao. Perhaps he was still dealing with the evil spirits in other places. After passing Wangshu Inn, there was a fork in the road.

Following Qiqi's instructions, Luo Chaya turned right and headed towards Hulao Mountain.

According to their route, if they want to go to Hulao Mountain, they have to pass through Jueyunjian. After Qiqi saw the Jueyunjian territory in front of them, she said to Luo Chaya: "Sister, in front of us is Jueyunjian, where the immortals... live! I remember there is a deer here."

"A deer..." After hearing Qiqi's description, Luo Chaya expressed regret for the immortal who was led away by Qiqi with "a deer".

Lottia said to Luo Chaya from behind: "Miss, I sense several powerful auras in Jueyunjian. They are all followers of the Rock God "Morax". Do we need to avoid them..."

"Why avoid? We are not here to fight with Morax." Luo Chaya felt helpless. She felt that Lotia's five hundred years of paranoia had made her a little mentally abnormal. They didn't cause any trouble, nor did they challenge her. Why should they avoid her?

As the three of them set foot on the territory of Jueyunjian, a gust of wind blew past their eyes, and a green figure emerged from somewhere, blocking their way.

"Xiao?" When Luo Chaya saw who it was, she couldn't help but be a little surprised.

After seeing Luo Chaya, Xiao was somewhat surprised, but remained calm. "So it was you. Just now, Master Xueyue Zhuyang sensed a strange and powerful aura stepping into the Cloudless World. I thought it was a demon with karmic obstacles that appeared."

"I see, but... why are you here?" Luo Chaya nodded and asked again in confusion.

Xiao replied, "It was Master Xieyue Zhuyang who asked the traveler to come to me. That's the traveler who came to Liyue Harbor with you, and her flying pet... uh, flying companion, I think her name is Paimon."

"Ying and Paimeng?" Luo Chaya was stunned for a moment, then reacted, "Oh! They are indeed here to find the immortals to deal with Liyue's problems. So, the immortals are all in Jueyunjian now?"

"Yes," Xiao replied, and then continued, "However, not all immortals are here, such as the Rescue of Suffering and Disasters... Qiqi. Right now, there are only me, True Lord Xueyue Zhuyang, True Lord Lishui Dieshan, and True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng in Jueyunjian."

"Is that so?" Luo Chaya nodded in sudden realization, then waved to Xiao and said, "Since you immortals are having a meeting, I won't disturb you. I'm going to Hulao Mountain and I'm just passing through Jueyunjian."

"Is that so? Then I won't bother you anymore." Xiao nodded in understanding. After saying goodbye to Luo Chaya, he disappeared in front of her like a gust of wind.

"Running... so fast! The green-haired...bird brother." Qiqi held Luo Chaya's hand and exclaimed when she saw Xiao disappear in front of her in an instant.

Uh... the green-haired bird brother?

After hearing Qiqi's name for Xiao, Luo Chaya sighed helplessly, and then said to Qiqi: "Qiqi, his name is Xiao, you can just call him Brother Xiao from now on, not some green-haired bird brother."

"Xiao...Brother." Qiqi blinked, then nodded gently, "Yes! Qiqi remembers, green-haired brother Xiao."

Although it still has the prefix of green hair, at least it is not wrong.

The sudden incident did not disrupt Luo Chaya and the others' plans. The three of them still followed the main road through Jueyunjian and walked towards Hulao Mountain.

After Xiao left Luo Chaya, he quickly returned to the top of Jueyunjian, where True Lord Xueyue Zhuyang, True Lord Lishui Dieshan and True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng were all waiting for his return.

After seeing Xiao coming back, True Lord Xueyue Zhuyang immediately asked, "Great Sage Conquering the Demons, how is it? What is the origin of that strange and powerful aura that stepped into Jueyunjian?"

“Could it be the enemy?” True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng flapped his wings and raised his claws, “Let me suppress them!”

"Liuyun, calm down! The Great Sage who Conquers Demons hasn't spoken yet, and you are in such a hurry to speak. It won't be too late to listen to what the Great Sage says before deciding what to do." Seeing that True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng was so impulsive, True Lord Lishui Dieshan at the side tried to dissuade her helplessly.

Master Liuyunjiefeng turned to look at Xiao and asked, "Great Sage Conquering the Demons, please continue."

"Uh..." Xiao looked at the impulsive Master Liuyunjiefeng and felt helpless. After thinking for a moment, he decided to tell everyone, "The one who just entered Jueyunjian is not our enemy, she is a god."

"God?" After hearing what Xiao said, the three immortals were all surprised. True Lord Liuyunjiefeng followed closely and asked, "Great Sage Conquering the Demons, is what you said true? Have foreign gods set foot on the land of Liyue?"

"And it's at a time when the emperor has passed away?" True Lord Lishui Dieshan said in a gloomy tone, thinking that Luo Chaya and her group had come with ill intentions.

“If they are really enemies, even if they are gods, I will let them know that even though the Emperor has passed away, Liyue is not a place that anyone can bully!” True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng said immediately.
