"But because of erosion, he lost his sanity and was sealed by the Geo Archon together with many immortals."

"My subordinates and I have checked carefully and found no immortal or demon god that meets the criteria."

Hearing this, Tartaglia became even more silent, and after some thought, he pressed:

"Is it possible that it's someone from beyond this world who descended and is cooperating with Liyue?"

"This..."

The Fatui member hesitated for a moment and said uncertainly:

"That is also possible, but such information is not something we can inquire about."

"Also..."

The Fatui member thought about the information he had received, but upon careful consideration, it seemed too outrageous, and he didn't know whether he should say it.

"If you hesitate again, I'll send you to that madman Scaramouche!"

Hearing this, the Fatui member was shocked.

Who in the Fatui didn't know that among all the Harbingers, only two completely disregarded human life.

One was Dottore, who was obsessed with human experimentation, and the other was Scaramouche.

If he really followed Scaramouche, he would probably rot in some unknown gutter within a month.

The Fatui member hurriedly said:

"My subordinate also investigated the strong Vision wielders in Liyue and found one who is somewhat similar to what you described, Lord Tartaglia."

"The person's name is Keqing, the Yuheng of the Liyue Qixing."

"She has long purple hair tied in a cat-ear hairstyle."

"Moreover, according to intelligence, she was indeed active in Jueyun Karst before, and she hasn't been seen in Liyue Harbor for the past few days."

"But she is just an ordinary strong Vision wielder, compared to you, Lord Tartaglia..."

"Furthermore, her ability is a Electro Vision; although her swordsmanship is good, it is absolutely impossible for her to injure you like this in an instant."

Tartaglia didn't respond, but suddenly thought of the Millelith soldiers below Jueyun Karst who had inexplicably become very strong.

After a moment of silence, he said slowly:

"Do you have a photo?"

"Yes!"

The Fatui member hurriedly took out a photo and showed it to Tartaglia.

At just one glance, Tartaglia's pupils contracted sharply.

Even if he died, he would never forget this back.

Purple cat-head!

Case closed!

The person who almost killed him this afternoon was Keqing!

This back, there wasn't a single difference; although Tartaglia was still weak at the time, he could never forget that back.

Especially since she was flying on a sword; how could he forget such an impressive thing?

"Lord Tartaglia?"

Seeing that Tartaglia hadn't reacted, the Fatui member asked in a low voice.

Tartaglia's heart was roaring like the sea, but on the surface, he said with absolute calm:

"Go, have people investigate who left Liyue Harbor on the day the thunder clouds covered the sun."

"Also have people check if the Millelith were uniformly deployed after that day."

"Do not pay attention to the Yuheng's whereabouts; her identity is special, and it is inconvenient for us to act."

"Have people focus on the cultivation trend that has recently emerged in Liyue; specifically, when and where it started to spread on a large scale."

"First, go and find out which big figures have been absent from Liyue Harbor recently!"

The Fatui member was stunned for a moment and hurriedly said:

"Lord Tartaglia, we already have this information."

"Then speak quickly!"

Tartaglia urged urgently.

The Fatui member hurriedly said:

"No big figures left on the day of the thunder; however, in the early morning, someone saw that half-immortal secretary of the Qixing, Ganyu, leave Liyue Harbor."

"The deployment of the Millelith began three days after the thunder; likewise, Liyue's collection of strange resources and the spread of the cultivation trend also began on the third day."

"The specific first location of the spread is unclear; it seems as if the news began to circulate throughout Liyue at the same time."

"As for the recent Liyue Harbor high-level officials..."

The Fatui member paused and said helplessly:

"Lord Tartaglia, we dare not investigate the information of Liyue's high-level officials."

"The other Qixing are all somewhat secretive and don't usually move around Liyue Harbor much."

"However, that Yuheng, she used to visit Liyue Harbor every day, but she has disappeared in the last few days."

"And that secretary Ganyu, it is said that she especially loves working overtime and can handle all the affairs of the Yuehai Pavilion by herself."

"But recently, the Yuehai Pavilion has suddenly become chaotic and has even made arrangements for expansion."

"Looking at it this way, she is also not in Liyue Harbor."

"As for the others, it is unclear."

"By the way, there is also the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor consultant Zhongli, whom you asked us to focus on; he also seems to be absent from Liyue Harbor."

Now, the doubts in Tartaglia's heart grew even stronger.

After a moment of silence, he let the Fatui member leave.

The person who injured him today was undoubtedly Keqing; even Tartaglia felt this was outrageous, but he trusted his own eyes.

The Millelith suddenly deployed after the thunder covered the sun, the public opinion spread by Liyue officials, the large-scale collection of materials, the departure of high-level officials...

These problems might be confusing if taken individually.

But if one connects Keqing coming out of Jueyun Karst and then rushing back to Jueyun Karst...

Tartaglia suddenly understood that all the changes in Liyue came from Jueyun Karst!

And there must be something in Jueyun Karst that can make people stronger without using elemental power!

Those Millelith soldiers and Keqing were the evidence.

The Fatui naturally had intelligence on Keqing's original strength.

It was indeed not weak, but absolutely incomparable to a Harbinger.

In just a few days, she went from an ordinary Vision wielder to a strong person who could kill him with ease?

Who would believe that if it were said out loud?

But this speculation was the only explanation Tartaglia felt made sense.

So...

Are the Liyue high-level officials who left all over at Jueyun Karst?

And that Zhongli, whom the Cryo Archon specifically instructed him to contact, and whom he suspected to be an immortal, was likely also at Jueyun Karst.

Looking at it this way...

Liyue's high-level officials and immortals were all at Jueyun Karst.

The intersection of all doubts lay in that thunder that seemed to want to destroy Teyvat that day.

With the doubts in his heart roughly cleared up, Tartaglia had a headache.

"It's too weird..."

"What kind of existence can make these people become so much stronger in such a short time?"

After a pause, Tartaglia muttered suspiciously:

"Could it be... that Liyue is really cultivating immortals?"

100. Ningguang's exploration and the grand distribution of Nine Nether pills.

Jiang Yan was unaware of, and didn't care about, the increasing number of people paying attention to Shushan.

In any case, it didn't affect the daily life of Shushan.

Life in Shushan, strictly speaking, was quite peaceful; basically, every day was normal quiet cultivation.

No one felt bored, after all, the feeling of being immersed in cultivation and feeling one's own life slowly improving was truly quite joyful.
