As the sun sets, the group continues on their way, with wilderness and mountains all around them.

Keqing and several Thousand Rocks soldiers led the way in front, exploring carefully, while Zhongli, Ruota and Guizhong followed closely behind.

Zhongli looked at the surrounding mountains and wilderness and couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that after so many years, these urban areas are still standing, witnessing the historical changes of Liyue." His voice revealed nostalgia for the past years.

Even though it was worn out, the sight before him was still unforgettable.

Ruota and Guizhong nodded, with a hint of nostalgia in their eyes, as if they saw the days when they once lived here.

This land carries so many memories and stories. Every stone and every wall has its own memory.

Thousands of years ago, this place was guarded by the Liyue immortals, but with the outbreak of the Demon War and the Kanreya War, everything changed.

The city walls were destroyed, the buildings were reduced to ruins, and only broken tiles and shattered walls were left.

But even after thousands of years of vicissitudes, these ancient relics still stand here quietly, telling the glory and tragedy of the past.

Today, a new city has risen on this land, but under the same sunset, the figures of those immortals have long disappeared...

As the crowd continued to move forward, a high wall filled with an ancient atmosphere suddenly appeared before their eyes.

"Everyone, we're here." The leader of the Qianyan Army stopped and thrust the spear in his hand into the ground, making a dull sound.

As I looked up at the high wall, I saw a giant mechanism similar to a crossbow standing on it.

At this moment, Keqing's eyes suddenly tightened, and she keenly sensed the dangerous aura.

She used her teleportation skill without hesitation, and instantly appeared in front of a Thousand Rock Army soldier and tripped him to the ground.

Before the Qianyan soldier could react, he heard a whistling sound in his ear, and an arrow brushed past his armor and flew straight into the air, embedding deeply into the trees behind him.

"Who is it?" Keqing looked at the bushes not far away with a serious face.

The rescued Qianyan soldier quickly got up. He looked at the arrow stuck in the tree trunk with horror in his eyes.

"Thank you! Lady Keqing... What on earth is going on?"

Keqing stood up, tightly gripped the sword in her hand, and stared at the bushes vigilantly.

"Someone is hiding in the dark and shooting arrows. It seems there is danger here. Everyone be careful!" She whispered to the Qianyan Army around her.

The other Qianyan soldiers grasped their weapons tightly and prepared for battle.

"Oh, it seems that the Seven Stars of Liyue are not stupid." At this time, a gloomy voice came from the bushes.

Then a scene that shocked everyone happened. Nearly twenty members of the treasure-stealing group appeared and surrounded everyone.

"What exactly are you going to do?" Keqing asked angrily. She couldn't understand the purpose of these people.

"Haha, it's very simple. The reason why we brothers came here today is to completely destroy this [big guy]." The leader of the treasure-stealing group replied with a sneer, with greed flashing in his eyes.

“Don’t think we don’t know what you are planning. The Seven Stars of Liyue are just trying to use the things of the immortals to hinder our treasure hunt and fortune!” A member of the treasure-hunting team shouted excitedly, his voice full of dissatisfaction and resentment towards the Seven Stars of Liyue.

Hearing this, Keqing felt a surge of humiliation in her heart. She widened her eyes, clenched her fists tightly, and anger burned in her heart.

She could not tolerate anyone slandering the reputation of the Liyue Seven Stars, especially these greedy and shameless members of the treasure-stealing group.

She pointed at the treasure-stealing group with one hand, her eyes firm and majestic: "Thousand Rock Army, follow me to capture them!"

"Yes." Following Keqing's order, many Qianyan Army soldiers responded in unison. They raised their weapons one after another, took fighting stances, and prepared to engage in a fierce fight with the treasure-stealing group.

However, the leader of the treasure-stealing group laughed contemptuously. He looked at Qianyan Army, Keqing and others in front of him with disdain.

"Heh, just a few Qianyan soldiers and three civilians, you want to stop us?" He said sarcastically, as if he didn't take the other party seriously at all.

"Brothers, let's go!" The leader of the treasure-hunting group gave an order, and the members of the treasure-hunting group waved their weapons and rushed towards Keqing and others.

The battle was about to break out, and Keqing flashed and rushed towards the treasure-stealing group like a gust of wind.

The sword in her hand flashed with lightning, and every swing was accompanied by a fierce momentum.

The attacks of the treasure-stealing group came like a tide, but the Qianyan Army united as one and fought hard.

For a moment, the battle was extremely fierce, with swords flashing and thunder roaring. However, the treasure-stealing group had a large number of people and cooperated well, and the Qianyan Army gradually fell into a passive position.

At the critical moment, the Eye of God on Keqing's waist flashed, and a powerful bolt of lightning instantly repelled several members of the treasure-hunting group.

She was panting, but her eyes were as firm as ever, and at this moment an arrow flew through the air and instantly scratched Keqing's cheek.

"Damn, these guys..."

Keqing endured the pain and looked at the enemy in front of her angrily.

However, faced with the large-scale treasure-stealing group, the Qianyan Army was defeated one after another, with blood oozing from the corners of their mouths.

"So, the legendary Thousand Rocks Army is just this good." the other party shouted with a smug smile on his face.

In an instant, the enemy archers aimed at the injured people again, preparing to launch a new round of attack.

Just when Keqing felt despair, Zhongli and the other two appeared silently blocking everyone.

"Why, are you here to die too?"

The leader of the treasure-stealing group sneered, with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

Hearing this, Zhongli just looked at the treasure-stealing group members seriously.

At the same time, an arrow shot straight at Zhongli.

"Mr. Zhongli, be careful!" Keqing felt worried, her heart in her throat.

But what she didn't expect was that the arrow was blocked by an invisible barrier just one second before it hit Zhongli.

The ends of Zhongli's hair glowed with a faint yellow light, while the corners of Ruota and Guizhong's clothes fluttered in the wind.

"For your own selfish desires, you have tarnished the wisdom of the immortals. You should be punished." Zhongli said slowly with an indifferent expression.

As he spoke, an invisible pressure emanated from the three people. The pressure was as heavy as a mountain pressing down on an egg, making people feel suffocated and terrified.

"What should we do, boss? It seems that the other party is not easy to deal with..." The person who spoke, holding the bow and arrow, could not help but tremble in fear from the pressure.

"There are so many of us, are we afraid of three civilians? Let me teach them a lesson!" The other leader gritted his teeth and said stubbornly.

Although he was a little apprehensive, he decided to give it a try. Then he rolled up his sleeves, clenched his fists, and punched Zhongli.

However, before his fist could hit Zhongli, his body flew out like a cannonball in just an instant.

There was a loud "bang" and his body fell heavily to the ground, splashing up a cloud of dust.

Seeing this scene, the other members of the treasure-stealing group panicked and were defeated. They looked at the three people in horror, and then fled without hesitation.

Seeing this, Zhongli, Ruotu and Guizhong turned around and looked at Keqing and the Thousand Rocks Army. Their eyes were calm and gentle, without any ripples.

"How are you? Are you all right?" Gui Zhong asked first. Her voice was gentle and full of concern.

As she spoke, streaks of grayish-white light emanated from her sleeves, shining like bright stars.

These streams of light intertwined into beautiful patterns in the air and finally merged into the bodies of the wounded soldiers.

Wherever he went, everyone's injuries were instantly healed and their originally painful expressions gradually eased.

“It’s okay. Thank you all for your help.” Keqing said in a daze, her eyes still a little dull, obviously she hasn’t fully recovered from the shock just now.

She looked at the three people in front of her with a hint of confusion and disbelief on her face.

"Excuse me, are you three immortals? How could you have such powerful strength?" Keqing's voice was filled with some surprise.

Zhongli smiled and replied, "We are not immortals, but just ordinary people."

His tone was calm and steady, making people feel at ease and trustful. Hearing this, Keqing frowned slightly, with a hint of thought flashing in her eyes.

"Then may I ask why you have such powerful strength?"

Zhongli smiled and explained: "Actually, what I just performed were just some ghost magic that I learned from Master Hu."

His words were easy and natural, as if all this was just a trivial trick.

"Hehe, mine too." Gui Zhong smiled mischievously. She blinked, with a smart light flashing in her eyes.

And Ruota made an expression of "guess".

Upon hearing this, Keqing widened her eyes, seeming very surprised by this answer.
