Chapter 519

"Don't worry, let that old thing worry for a few more days. It's rare to see him so flustered. I have to enjoy it properly. Who told him to show off every day that his son has a Pure Yang Body."

"A special constitution is amazing? Isn't he still captured by Qiu'er?"

Looking at the proud Xingqiu's father, Xingqiu's mother shook her head helplessly.

"You two..."

309. Azhdaha: You want me to be your dog? Morax, I'll grab your ancestors!

The "Tragic Love of a Fallen City" performed by Xingqiu and Chongyun was, for Liyue Harbor, and even for Ningguang and the others,

the most explosive scene in decades.

Although Ningguang didn't reject this kind of thing in her heart—after all, it was a personal matter—

seeing Shenhe's face looking a bit gloomy now,

Ningguang worried that Shenhe would casually use the Seven Kills of Gods and Ghosts to force them straight.

She still planned to hurry up and organize things and summarize this battle.

Moreover, this matter, all in all, was not suitable to be put on the table.

Now the cultivator battle in Liyue Harbor was being watched by the whole world. It was clearly a good opportunity for Liyue to show off.

Ningguang didn't want Liyue to become famous in such a bizarre way in the end.

Immediately, Ningguang hurriedly said:

"Since Beisht has also been solved, let's return to Liyue Harbor first. Presumably, the citizens of Liyue have been waiting for this victory for a long time."

But these words didn't make Shenhe give up her plan to straighten out Chongyun. Forced, Ningguang could only bring up Jiang Yan's name.

"The Sect Leader should be waiting for us too."

Upon hearing Jiang Yan, Shenhe's anger dissipated instantly. She took a deep look at Chongyun and stopped lingering on the battlefield.

Her figure turned into flying light and returned to the Jade Chamber.

If it were before, she wouldn't mind returning with Ningguang and the others to welcome the cheers of the Liyue people.

But now...

She couldn't face Chongyun's parents.

Chongyun went crooked under her nose...

It was killing people and punishing their hearts.

Ningguang sighed and temporarily suppressed these thoughts in her heart.

Instead, she called the others to return to Liyue Harbor.

The many outer disciples who were responsible for maintaining the barrier had already lined up on both sides.

Seeing Ningguang and the others return, they all bowed and said:

"Congratulations to the senior brothers and sisters for their triumphant return!"

Ningguang nodded with a smile.

"Thank you for your hard work, junior brothers and sisters. This time, thanks to everyone's help in suppressing the waves, otherwise, Liyue Harbor would have truly suffered quite a few losses."

"After the General Affairs Office finishes counting the losses, we will reward you with some medicinal herbs from Jueyun Karst."

Hearing this, many outer and handyman disciples were happy.

Compared to the Shushan world, the medicinal herbs of Jueyun Karst could basically be said to be not worth mentioning.

After all, spiritual energy had only recovered for a short time, and spiritual energy nourishing medicinal herbs couldn't make them evolve so quickly.

Jueyun Karst wasn't a spiritual field.

At most, they had some spirituality.

But for them, this was already the best and most suitable reward.

The spiritual herbs of Shushan, planted on Bamboo Peak, were for Jiang Yan and the inner disciples to use.

The spiritual herbs born in the wild in the Shushan world were at least spiritual herbs for Refining Essence into Qi.

And these spiritual herbs themselves were watched by many fierce beasts and monsters.

People were often in the early stage of Refining Essence into Qi, and even during this time, some monsters had evolved toward the middle stage of Refining Essence into Qi.

A group of Foundation Establishment cultivators like them rashly going to find spiritual herbs was just looking for death.

Moreover, even if they got them, they might not be able to use them.

Therefore, the medicinal power of the spiritual herbs in Jueyun Karst was just right for them.

Just coming out to help guard against the wave attack, with so many people, they didn't need to exert too much effort.

And they actually got such precious medicinal herbs.

This wave was truly a huge profit.

Immediately, they all bowed, their tone full of uncontrollable happiness.

"Thank you, Senior Sister Ningguang."

Ningguang didn't reply, just continued to fly on her sword to Liyue Harbor.

The Liyue citizens below had now temporarily suppressed their awkwardness about the "Tragic Love of a Fallen City" just now.

Now they were looking at Ningguang and the others with fanaticism, but when their eyes swept over Xingqiu and Chongyun, they still had a trace of ambiguous gossip.

In the early stages of Osial's attack, that pessimistic and desperate mentality had completely left Liyue.

From now on, even if an enemy more powerful than Osial attacked,

they wouldn't worry.

Liyue had cultivators. This point now gave them a sense of security that was stronger than Zhongli flying in the sky every day.

The absolute dominance of cultivators had been demonstrated.

Besides the pride in their identity, the people of Liyue had more of a desire for cultivation.

Ningguang took in the expressions of the Liyue citizens below, feeling a bit gratified in her heart.

Osial's attack this time had indeed brought them huge benefits.

But the biggest benefit was that the people of Liyue had completely united their hearts from now on.

They had also completely accepted a Liyue without gods and began to look forward to the future path without gods.

After a long silence, Ningguang spoke slowly.

"A few days ago, at the Rite of Descension, the Emperor announced his abdication."

"I believe everyone is worried about how Liyue will go in the future. These past few days, we have also seen and heard many of everyone's voices."

"Without the Emperor, what should Liyue do when facing powerful enemies? Without the Emperor, where is the path for Liyue's development?"

"Without the Emperor, can this country that has relied on gods for 3,700 years continue to stand in Teyvat?"

"But now, I think everyone has seen the answer."

Ningguang paused, her tone raised slightly, carrying a bit of excitement, infecting all the people of Liyue.

"Without the Emperor, Liyue is still crushing powerful enemies!"

"Without the Emperor, Liyue's path of development is still clearly visible!"

"Without the Emperor, Liyue's history will still continue to spread toward the future!"

"The current Liyue is not the Liyue of ancient times that could only pray for the protection of gods when facing countless demon gods."

"The people of Liyue today also have the ability to protect their hometown and draw their swords against the strong."

"Liyue has grown to the point where everyone can be at ease."

"From now on, the Emperor's abdication is for his dream and for Liyue's future."

"So, citizens of Liyue, from now on, cheer to your heart's content."

"Liyue has never been weak. We have the strength to suppress any invading enemy. Without the Emperor, Liyue is still safe!"

"What Liyue will achieve in the future and what it will develop into, from now on, all depends on ourselves."

After saying that, Ningguang held the Purple-Gold Gourd high, its jade light shining in the hearts of all the citizens of Liyue.

It was like a new god ascending to the throne, only this time, the existence above the god position was all the people of Liyue.

"Even without the Emperor, we can proudly say that sentence."

"Those who offend Liyue, even if they are far away, will be punished!"

As the voice fell, the heaven-shaking cheers almost shook away the clouds in the nine heavens.

The haze brought by Zhongli's abdication was completely swept away at this moment.

From now on, various new policies regarding human rule would also be unimpeded.

A demon god attack had actually brought so many benefits. If Osial knew about this in the underworld, he should be angered to death again. ===== CHAPTER 520 =====
