Chapter 722

The karmic debt on Xiao was caused by slaying the filth of archons.

It contained extreme fear and pain.

It had persisted for thousands of years without fading!

Because of this, and the excessive number of wars, the Yaksha race had nearly gone extinct.

Only Xiao remained.

As old friends, Cloud Retainer, the other adepti, and his lord were all very concerned about Xiao.

But there was simply no way.

Even the Anemo Archon's lyre could only provide relief.

Fortunately, there was finally a glimmer of hope!

Although she had never seen Han Feng act, she had felt that he was no simple person!

"This Mr. Han is...?"

Xiao felt a mix of shock and curiosity in his heart.

What kind of person could be so highly regarded by his lord, the Anemo Archon, and Cloud Retainer?

They were even certain that he could eliminate the karmic debt he carried!

One had to know, this was something even his lord and the Anemo Archon couldn't solve.

Could it be... someone from Celestia?

"Regarding Mr. Han's situation, if fate allows, you will naturally understand in the future."

Zhongli said with a soft smile.

Matters of another world were difficult to explain and difficult to spoil.

It was better to let Xiao learn about it himself later.

He figured he should have that good fortune.

"I understand!"

Xiao nodded.

In fact, he didn't understand at all.

Because these three hadn't actually said anything.

But since his lord said so, it must have his profound meaning.

After chatting for a while, Xiao remembered the purpose of his arrival.

"My lord, the Vortex Archon, Osial, has been revived!"

"Should we go to Guyun Stone Forest now?"

"No need, leave this matter to the Liyue the Liyue Qixing."

Zhongli shook his head gently.

"Leave it to them?"

Xiao was stunned again.

Seeing Xiao's confused expression, Cloud Retainer explained the situation to him briefly.

"Letting Liyue transition to being primarily 'ruled by humans'?"

Xiao was lost in thought.

So that was his lord's consideration?

Glancing at the Exuvia on the Yujing Terrace plaza, Xiao looked at Zhongli.

"My lord, are you planning to leave?"

"Mm, that is the plan for now, and the same goes for Cloud Retainer."

"Xiao, if you encounter opportunities in the future, you can try them out as well; you don't have to stay at Wangshu Inn all the time."

Zhongli patted Xiao on the shoulder, feeling a bit emotional.

Xiao, the adepti like Cloud Retainer, and Ganyu had all made immense contributions to the safety and development of Liyue.

Now, with his own curtain call, they could also go and enjoy themselves.

For Liyue, they had already done more than enough.

The contract from back then should also come to an end!

Hearing Zhongli's words, Xiao fell into silence.

After a long while, he nodded gently.

"I understand!"

This time, he truly understood.

It was just that he felt a bit lost in his heart about what the future held.

If he didn't stay at Wangshu Inn, where else could he go?

It seemed he could only wait slowly.

Waiting for the opportunity his lord spoke of!

At this moment, Xiao suddenly felt a bit unnatural.

Because he realized he didn't know what he should do now.

He had come here to deal with the Vortex Archon.

But now his lord had handed this matter to the Liyue the Liyue Qixing.

Normally, he should return to Wangshu Inn at this time.

But with his lord, the Anemo Archon, and Cloud Retainer all here,

it wasn't appropriate to leave right after meeting them.

Furthermore, he still had to go with his lord to visit the mysterious Mr. Han later!

Seeing this, Cloud Retainer said with a smile.

"If the Conqueror of Demons has nothing else to do, you can come help his lord handle the Exuvia."

"Since it concerns his lord's 'Rite of Parting', it is very appropriate for you to participate."

"We happen to be short on hands."

"No problem!"

Xiao agreed immediately.

Although it was a bit strange that the 'Rite of Descension' had turned into the 'Rite of Parting'.

But since his lord had done so, there must be a profound meaning behind it.

He would just follow orders and do as he was told.

Seeing this, Zhongli, Venti, and Cloud Retainer exchanged smiles.

Immediately, the group began to handle the Exuvia.

Of course, they were still keeping watch over Guyun Stone Forest from the shadows.
