At this time, outside Liyue Harbor, dark clouds were floating in the sky.

They are as thick as ink, pressing darkly on people's heads, as if God is about to bring a huge disaster to this land.

Such a scene makes people feel depressed and uneasy, as if something big is about to happen.

Pulling the sight back from the sky to the ground, at the entrance of Liyue Harbor in the distance, several Thousand Rock Army soldiers were holding spears, their faces serious, as firm as steel.

They stood in a row, forming a solid line of defense, closely guarding the entrance to Liyue Harbor and preventing anyone from entering easily.

"Wait, look! Isn't that Zhongli, Guizhong and Ruota?" Paimon suddenly pointed ahead and shouted in surprise.

The three of them followed her gaze and saw the three people who were stopped by the Qianyan Army.

"It looks like you're in some trouble." Ying frowned and said in a low voice.

A trace of worry welled up in her heart, wondering why these three friends were stopped here.

It turned out that after they and Keqing successfully repaired the Guizhong Machine, they separated from each other. However, when they were strolling in the wild, they were unexpectedly stopped outside Liyue Harbor.

"Why don't you let us go back to Liyue Harbor?" Ruota widened his eyes and glared at the Thousand Rock Army in front of him, with obvious anger and confusion in his tone.

Feeling Ruota's sharp gaze, the Qianyan soldier's body tensed up instantly, as if he was pressed down by a huge rock, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

However, despite this, he still tried to remain calm, forcibly suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and responded in a firm and steady voice:

"I'm sorry sir, but the Seven Stars have issued an order that we are in an emergency and no one is allowed to enter or leave Liyue Harbor without permission."

Hearing this, Ruota's anger grew even stronger. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said, "What! How dare you stop us? When did it become your turn to give us orders?"

Hearing Qianyan Jun's answer, Gui Zhong was also surprised. She looked at him in disbelief, unable to accept this fact.

In her opinion, it was unbelievable that Qixing would make such a decision.

Unlike others, Zhongli seemed unusually calm. He silently gazed at Liyue Harbor, as if he had expected all this.

He patted Ruota's shoulder, signaling him to calm down. His eyes were deep and steady, making it difficult to guess his true thoughts.

Just when everyone was in a stalemate, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps.

It turned out that Ying, Paimon, Fulin and Qianyu came in a hurry.

Seeing this, the Qianyan Army immediately deployed their troops and prepared for battle. One of the soldiers shouted, "No outsiders are allowed to enter Liyue now..."

Seeing the other party raising his spear, Paimeng was instantly frightened and shuddered, and subconsciously took two steps back.

"Wait, wait, Captain. They seem to be guests of Lord Ningguang." The soldier next to him reminded.

Hearing this, the man called the captain carefully looked at Ying and the people behind her, and then his eyes lit up.

"It is true. I apologize to all the distinguished guests."

"But Liyue has reached a critical moment now, and we have no choice..."

"Could you explain it in detail, sir?" Zhongli asked in a calm tone.

Seeing that the other party was a little hesitant, Ying explained: "These three are my friends. I can guarantee that they have no ill intentions."

After hearing this, the captain finally put down his spear and saluted Zhongli and others.

"What you may not know is that the Thousand Rocks Army, except for us, is now investigating the Fatui forces lurking in Liyue one by one." After saying this, he glanced coldly at the captured Fatui beside him.

"Hmph, why are you looking at us?!" the other party shouted, but the captain ignored him.

“Now, the Fatui’s plan has been fully revealed by Lady Ningguang. This arrest operation is also to confirm the various evil deeds they have committed in Liyue.” The captain said solemnly.

"Oh, come on, don't think that catching us is victory."

"You're thinking of restricting our actions now. I think the Seven Stars of Liyue are nothing more than that..."

Hearing this, the Qianyan soldiers on the side all showed anger.

One of the Qianyan soldiers finally couldn't bear it anymore. He instantly turned the spear in his hand and swept the butt of the spear towards the Fatui named Xiao.

The blow was swift and powerful. With a dull thud, the Fatui was instantly knocked to the ground. He groaned in pain, unable to get up again.

After doing all this, the entrance to Liyue Harbor was once again closed by the Thousand Rock Army.

"Alas, even you are not capable of this." Ruota said helplessly. He did not expect that these Thousand Rocks Army could do things so ruthlessly.

Especially the captain, who single-handedly stopped a traveler, two dragons and three demon gods. His record can be checked...

"I feel like the conflicts in Liyue are about to get out of control." Paimeng said with some concern.

"Indeed, I think the Seven Stars are serious this time. It seems that any organization related to the Fatui will..." Zhongli couldn't help but look worried as he spoke.

"If this is true, I don't know if Hall Master Hu can handle it. Please don't let anything go wrong..."

Hearing this, Qianyu suggested: "Why don't you let me go to the Wangsheng Hall and take a look."

He gave a mysterious smile and said, "Of course, they won't find me."

Hearing Qianyu's words, Ying and Paimeng looked over with disdain. Zhongli also nodded slightly, indicating that he agreed with this suggestion. After all, there was really no better way at the moment.

After saying that, Qianyu left under the gaze of everyone.

"But we can't go back to Liyue for the time being. What should we do now?" Paimon asked with some confusion.

Hearing this, Ying looked embarrassed. Although she already had some guesses in her mind, they still needed further confirmation.

“Traveler, in my opinion, if you want to prevent the conflict from breaking out, you might as well first think about where the fuse that ignites the gunpowder is,” Zhongli suggested.

"Fuse?" Paimon muttered to himself, seeming to be very unfamiliar with the word.

"I think I know who it is." At this time, Ying suddenly reacted and her eyes became firm.

"I knew there would be someone in this world who would always be willing to pay for others..."

"Are you talking about the young master?" Paimon also came to his senses, but Fulin was still a little confused.

"Let's go to the Golden House." Ying said, then looked at Fulin and Paimon.

On the other side, Gui Zhong looked at Zhong Li curiously and asked, "What about us?"

Zhongli looked at her and said slowly: "Come with me, both of you." After that, the three of them turned and walked towards the mountainside.
