Chapter 295
As soon as the words fell, Hu Tao, who was a bit confused just now, instantly perked up and looked at Lady Ningguang blankly.
Who?
Zhongli?
Head of the Peak?
Zhongli is the Head of the Peak?
Isn't the Head of the Peak the Geo Archon?
What the hell!
Before Hu Tao could react, a huge aura descended.
On the high platform that was empty just now, three figures appeared instantly.
There were also countless streams of light surging around, standing in the air on swords.
Hu Tao looked intently and was instantly furious.
"Zhongli? You thick-browed guy, you are actually the Geo Archon? And you became the Head of the Peak of Shushan?!"
"No wonder you've been playing disappearing acts on this Hall Master recently!"
"With such a good thing, you didn't call this Hall Master, did you!"
176. The scene of the Immortal Gate, Shushan cultivators gather, the Sect Leader descends
Hu Tao reacted very quickly to the news that Zhongli had become the Head of the Peak and was also the Geo Archon.
It couldn't be said to be a complex feeling, just a bit of realization, or a bit of annoyance.
She had guessed Zhongli's identity before.
Maybe he was some immortal.
As a result, she didn't expect that her thinking was too narrow after all.
This guy who ate and drank for free all day and freeloaded was actually the Geo Archon!
Now the acting Head of the Peak of Shushan's Dragon Head Peak!
The most hateful thing is...
Such a good thing as Shushan cultivation, Zhongli actually didn't tell her!
Hu Tao was furious and decided that she would ignore all of Zhongli's bills from now on.
Countless people in Liyue Harbor were also a bit confused, but Tartaglia was somewhat enlightened.
"No wonder Her Majesty asked me to contact this Mr. Zhongli, I didn't expect..."
"Forget it, it doesn't matter now, entering Shushan is the priority."
Thinking about it, Tartaglia quickly adjusted his mentality and stared at the high platform and the many figures around.
The fighting spirit in his blood instantly boiled.
These...
Are all powerful cultivators!
At this moment, the people waiting for the assessment, after Zhongli and the others appeared, even though they learned the news that Zhongli was the Geo Archon.
Still didn't dare to breathe, quiet and terrifying.
No way.
Those people standing around were all terrifyingly strong.
But even if they were familiar with each other, like the relationship between the Liyue Qixing and Lady Ningguang, they didn't dare to look too much.
At this time, there were only two identities here.
One was a Shushan cultivator, and the other was a person waiting for Shushan assessment.
All kinds of cultivators, or like Lisa, who practiced magic arts, now had an aura that was somewhat oppressive and terrifying.
Or like Lumine, who practiced sword arts, with a sharp edge pointing straight to the clouds.
Jean, who seemed to be surrounded by the four spirits, Diluc, who sat on a lotus platform like a Vajra, Bai Zhu, who held a pill tripod with a shallow smile...
Just these Shushan disciples gave them an indescribable sense of oppression.
Besides that, there were some existences they had never seen before.
All of them were wearing standard Shushan Dharma robes, looking at them with measuring eyes.
"Those... seem to be gods."
Clorinde said in a low voice to Furina.
The latter nodded slightly without speaking.
Her eyes were fixed on the three people on the high platform.
At this moment, Furina's joy was indescribable.
Zhongli, whose expression was serious and calm, not angry but majestic.
Venti, who was holding a wine gourd and constantly drinking, looking a bit drunk.
And Alice, who was looking at the crowd and nodding from time to time.
The aura of these three people was simply like an abyss or the sea.
Intuition told Furina that the so-called crisis in Fontaine was not worth mentioning in front of them.
Clearly...
These three were only at the strength of gods not long ago.
Cultivation is indeed the best choice to solve all problems.
However, a trace of worry still flashed in Furina's eyes.
She knew her own situation; if Focalors came, she would inevitably be an existence of Refining Qi into Spirit.
But she...
Looking at Clorinde, Furina felt that her five-hundred-year one-woman show might be exposed today.
But thinking about it this way, Furina also felt unprecedentedly relaxed.
Acting as someone else for five hundred years, in the future, perhaps she could also live as herself.
Zhongli didn't respond to Lady Ningguang immediately, just looked around at the crowd below.
His gaze stayed on Hu Tao's angry face for a moment, and he felt somewhat helpless in his heart.
After Hu Tao enters Shushan, I'm afraid I won't have any peaceful days.
He had hidden it from her for so long, and Hu Tao must be furious.
But for now, everything is prioritized by the Mountain Opening Ceremony.
Withdrawing his gaze, Zhongli said softly:
"Thank you for your hard work, return to your positions."
"Yes!"
Lady Ningguang bowed in response and flew back to the side of Xiaozhu Peak on her sword.
Miss Keqing and Miss Ganyu also returned to the position of Tongtian Peak.
Zhongli stood up and bowed to the sky.
"The Mountain Opening Ceremony is ready, respectfully welcome the Sect Leader!"
Others also bowed to the sky with solemn expressions like Zhongli.
"Respectfully welcome the Sect Leader!"
In the sect's main hall, Jiang Yan slowly opened his eyes and looked down.
In an instant, purple energy crisscrossed millions of miles between heaven and earth, flowers fell from the sky, and golden lotuses surged from the ground throughout Shushan.
Boundless visions ignited the sky of the Shushan world.
Gradually, above the nine heavens, a pair of eyes manifested, like the eyes of heaven and earth.
The emotions in the eyes were difficult to distinguish, as if it were examination, or gentle kindness.
In short, under these eyes, everyone felt that they had no secrets.
Furina trembled in her heart and hurriedly lowered her head.
But that gaze seemed to be everywhere, making her tremble for a while.
"Good."
A gentle male voice sounded, and in turn, the boundless purple energy condensed into a point.
Jiang Yan appeared on the high platform silently.
