Chapter 503
"Only when we are stronger can we let Liyue continue to forge ahead in the future era."
"To be realistic, the spiritual energy recovery has already affected the Guili Plains, and fierce beasts have already been born there."
"Who do you want to build the city? Martial arts experts? Innate martial artists are already organized into teams to explore Jueyun Karst and guard Liyue Harbor."
"Grandmaster experts have even more important tasks."
"Acquired martial artists going to the Guili Plains will definitely suffer heavy casualties."
"Let cultivators go? How can we order cultivators to do such things? Moreover, the Sect Master will absolutely not allow Shushan disciples to do such things."
These words made Miss Miss Keqing somewhat silent, her whole body exuding an aura of disappointment.
Lady Lady Ningguang sighed.
"I know you have good intentions, but we must consider objective factors; decisions concerning the nation cannot be made on a whim."
"But what you said is indeed a problem Liyue Harbor is facing now."
"Personnel capacity does need to be solved as soon as possible, but my suggestion is to expand outward based on Liyue Harbor."
"The workload is smaller, it's safer, and it can effectively alleviate the current population pressure."
"Miss Miss Keqing, what do you think?"
Hearing Lady Lady Ningguang say this, Miss Miss Keqing felt a bit better in her heart.
Although the proposal for the construction of Guili City was still not passed, but...
She also felt Lady Lady Ningguang's respect for her.
She was right; everyone knew that building Guili City was a good thing, but this good thing required the sacrifice of a bunch of people to execute.
Then the situation was much more complicated.
Miss Miss Keqing also couldn't forcibly push for the construction of Guili City.
Since she couldn't build a new city, expanding Liyue Harbor was also a good choice.
After thinking about it, Miss Miss Keqing nodded, preparing to discuss a more feasible plan with Lady Lady Ningguang.
Suddenly, from the direction of the ocean of Liyue Harbor, a tyrannical Archon aura surged.
Furthermore, in the distance, another existence echoing this aura was approaching rapidly.
The sky of Liyue gradually darkened.
"Archon?"
Lady Lady Ningguang frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled, but didn't feel worried.
With Liyue's current scale, let alone that they were all here, even if Lady Lady Ningguang and the others weren't.
Grandmaster experts could stop an ordinary Archon.
Now that Jiang Yan was still in Liyue Harbor, a large number of cultivators were gathered here.
An Archon coming here to cause trouble...
That was purely looking for death.
What Lady Lady Ningguang was puzzled about was where this Archon came from...
Everyone looked at each other and walked out of the house.
Just as they stepped out, they saw Jiang Yan standing on the edge of the Jade Chamber with Klee and the others, looking out at the distant ocean.
The Tsaritsa, who hadn't been seen for several days, was also following along.
Lady Lady Ningguang and the others hurriedly said:
"Sect Master, Elder Barnabas."
Jiang Yan nodded slightly and said softly:
"Did you sense it?"
"With such a big commotion, I imagine it would be hard not to sense it."
Lady Lady Ningguang replied with a smile, walked to Jiang Yan's side, and looked out at the increasingly terrifying ocean waves in the distance.
In her words, there wasn't a trace of worry, but rather quite a bit of anticipation.
"The scene is really not small."
Lady Lady Ningguang shook her head, quite moved.
Being on the ocean, the Vortex Archon Osial could naturally exert power far beyond common sense.
Speaking of which, Seeing Seeing Zhongli really had the ability back then.
Osial, as the Vortex Archon, held the authority of the ocean, and even so, he was forcibly sealed into the sea.
No wonder they said this guy was a monster among the Seven Archons; in a sense, he had directly sealed this entire ocean back then.
Now that Osial had broken free, although he had been tortured by the seal and erosion for thousands of years, his power had not diminished in the slightest.
The sky-high waves pushed toward all directions, one after another; they were hundred-meter-high waves, surging with the will to destroy everything.
In the center of the ocean, there was a huge vortex of unknown radius, and Osial's several heads were swaying within the vortex.
From time to time, he let out happy roars, venting his joy after being liberated.
The clouds in the sky were thick and ink-like at this moment, also gathering into a vortex like the ocean.
As Osial poked his head out, he dove into the clouds.
The flashing lightning was enough to demonstrate his power as an Archon.
However...
In the eyes of everyone on the Jade Chamber right now, it was just very ordinary.
If it were in the eyes of Lady Lady Ningguang and the others, although there was some pressure, it really couldn't be counted as a crisis.
But the Tsaritsa only took one look and shook her head in disappointment.
"It is said that this Osial was one of the strongest Archons in the land of Liyue in the past, a formidable rival to the Geo Archon."
"Back then, to seal him, Seeing Seeing Zhongli spent quite a bit of effort."
"He is a top-tier Archon in the true sense."
"Now that the seal is lifted and he is in the ocean, but observing his abilities, it is quite disappointing."
The Tsaritsa wasn't bragging at all; don't look at how majestic Osial looked now, in the Tsaritsa's eyes, it was all empty.
If she wanted to kill Osial, once her sword art was unleashed, no matter how many heads Osial had, they would all fall off.
If she wanted to make a bigger commotion, using her true energy to exert her own authority over ice, let alone this piece of ocean.
The Tsaritsa could freeze it from Liyue Harbor to the sea area near Inazuma City.
After cultivating, she was truly not what she used to be.
Immediately, she also felt a bit helpless about Seeing Seeing Zhongli's decision to insist on releasing Osial.
This guy, who was strong on the outside but weak on the inside, didn't look like an existence that could put pressure on Liyue at all.
Before long, Lisa and the others, who were touring and relaxing in Liyue Harbor, also arrived at the Jade Chamber on their flying swords.
Like Lady Lady Ningguang, they weren't worried and looked at Osial with quite a bit of curiosity.
"This is the legendary top-tier Archon who ravaged Liyue? Very ordinary."
Furina stood with her hands on her hips, looking at Osial with disdain.
Honestly, she couldn't beat Osial right now, but...
She could call for help!
Once Furina and Neuvillette, those two mid-stage Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation cultivators, came out, let alone Osial, even the Heavenly Principles would have to bow to Furina.
"Although Osial doesn't count for much in your eyes, he still has quite a bit of deterrent power for mortals."
Jiang Yan reminded softly.
"If we don't do something, I'm afraid the people of Liyue Harbor will fall into chaos."
Hearing this, Lady Lady Ningguang looked down, and sure enough.
Many people of Liyue Harbor were looking at the churning ocean with fear and despair.
Perhaps because they knew the Geo Archon had abdicated, this time, the people of Liyue Harbor were very insecure.
"In the end, the people are still not used to the current Liyue."
Lady Lady Ningguang sighed helplessly, but this kind of thing couldn't be solved overnight.
It could only be done slowly and subtly.
Miss Miss Keqing drew her weapon and said somewhat irritably:
"Liyue already has enough problems, and this guy still comes out without any sense of the situation; I'll go solve him."
Miss Miss Keqing, who was at the mid-to-late stage of Refining Essence into Qi, plus her magical treasure and sword body.
Spending some time, she could still solve Osial.
