"My lord, that is the consultant of the Tianquan Star after all. This might make our relationship with Liyue even more tense," Felix reminded Tartaglia cautiously.

But his reminder was ignored by Tartaglia: "It doesn't matter, as long as I don't expose my identity."

"Moreover, even if it is exposed, so what? This Liyue is not Ningguang's one-man show!"

"Ningguang alone is not to be feared."

Felix opened his mouth but ultimately couldn't speak. The other party was a Harbinger, and he was just a subordinate. He just needed to complete the task given by Tartaglia.

………………………………

"There are actually so many monsters even near Mount Tianheng. What is going on? Why are the ley lines so chaotic?"

"And the monsters have also increased quite a bit!" Keqing, holding the Iron Sting, killed two Hilichurls rushing toward her like cutting vegetables, and then fell into deep thought.

The other side of Mount Tianheng is near Yujing Terrace, where the Millelith often guard. But what is going on now?

Is someone trying to harm Liyue?

Thinking of these various possibilities, the acquisition of points and the increase of one year of internal energy with 100 points, the improvement brought to her, could not make Keqing happy.

Nothing is more important than the safety of Liyue.

No, she must work harder to kill these monsters!

Keqing's martial power is extremely strong. Even without a Vision, her own strength is not inferior to some Vision holders, let alone the current her.

Seeing Keqing cast a Stellar Restoration, turning into lightning and shuttling between the monsters, spinning and jumping, lifting her sword and swaying her hips, ordinary Hilichurls couldn't even block a single move in Keqing's hands. Only some Hilichurl Shamans and Mitachurls could resist Keqing for a move or two.

At this time, Keqing also turned into the Liyue Raiden Shogun, and the points were constantly rising in the background.

Just when Keqing was holding her precious sword and killed into a Hilichurl camp with an Abyss Mage, wanting to continue killing monsters like cutting vegetables as before, she suddenly found that her energy recharge seemed to be unable to keep up.

She, who originally wanted to use Stellar Restoration, was temporarily unable to use it.

Oh no, she killed too much!

Keqing secretly said it was bad. If it were in the past, her body should have felt tired from such slaughter, and she would have needed to rest when her energy recharge couldn't keep up.

But because she practiced basic internal energy, her body was better than before, which also led to a difference between her fatigue speed and energy recharge speed.

And because of this unexpected situation, Keqing was stunned for a moment in the battle. It happened that at this time, she had already rushed into the camp.

Looking at the Mitachurl crashing toward her from close range, Keqing's heart was also startled. She was careless this time!

However, with her strength, even without a Vision, she might not be no match for these monsters, it's just that she might have to pay a small price.

She hurriedly blocked the Iron Sting in front of her, meeting the Mitachurl's charge, and her graceful body was also sent flying backward due to this huge force.

Keqing spun twice in the air. Relying on her excellent body control, Keqing successfully landed on her feet, but just as she was about to launch an attack, a sharp pain came from her right ankle.

It turned out that when she landed earlier, the heel of her high-heeled shoe broke, causing her ankle to twist.

"Oh no!" Such a bad situation made Keqing's heart tighten. She was careless this time!!

Moreover, what is going on with these shoes?

You know, her shoes are all custom-made and are alchemical products; ordinary battles won't damage the shoes.

But now they were broken, and Keqing's heart was also in a state of helpless rage.

And at this time, the Hilichurls in the camp had already launched an attack toward her, especially that Pyro Abyss Mage; the flame wave he summoned was currently attacking her.

Such an attack, if it were normal, Keqing could easily dodge, but at this moment, her movements had problems.

Even with Keqing's temperament, she felt panic at this moment.

Just at this moment, a familiar voice sounded in Keqing's ear: "Dominus Lapidis!"

As the voice fell, a golden shield enveloped Keqing's whole body, letting the flame wave fall on the shield, but it didn't cause the slightest ripple.

"This is? Geo Archon!" The appearance of the shield set off a stormy sea in Keqing's heart. At this time, was the Geo Archon still willing to come and save her, this incompetent Liyue Qixing?

The Geo Archon has always been watching her!

"I am not the Geo Archon, oh!" But soon, Mu Yang's figure had already appeared beside her and teased Keqing.

"Eh? Mu Yang! Why do you have the Geo Archon's moves?!" Keqing was directly dumbfounded.

She also had a heritage in her family, and even a thousand years ago, her ancestors had followed the Geo Archon from the north of Liyue to the south. Regarding the Geo Archon's moves, her family also had an introduction and heritage.

Keqing believed that she absolutely could not be mistaken!

"Just a trade!"

"However, your luck seems good to have met me; otherwise, you would have suffered this time!" Mu Yang chuckled. A Geo spear made of rich Geo element appeared in his hand, and he casually stabbed it toward the Mitachurl that had already killed its way to Keqing's front.

With just one strike, he successfully pierced through the Mitachurl, along with its shield!

This scene made Keqing's pupils shrink. Wanting to kill a Mitachurl was not a difficult thing for her.

But wanting to kill it so casually, and even piercing through the shield directly, was not something she could do. Is this really a human?

Although she took the fast route, it didn't mean Mu Yang didn't have a sharp eye.

Anyway, among the people Keqing knew, no one could do it as easily as Mu Yang.

Mu Yang, you've shown your true colors! And you still say you are just an ordinary traveler!

Keqing, who was proud in her heart, snorted: "I feel my luck is bad. The shoe suddenly broke; otherwise, I wouldn't need you to save me!"

"That's because you haven't been able to control the internal energy in your body yet. Although your internal energy is still very weak, you didn't control it. When you landed earlier, you subconsciously used this power to land."

"This caused the shoes that wouldn't have broken to exceed the critical point!" Mu Yang casually poked the Abyss Mage not far away to death while explaining to Keqing.

So, all of this is the fault of that basic internal energy!
