Chapter 62: Venti's Suggestion, Inazuma

"Perhaps it's because the city wall was built so long ago that it's fallen into disrepair?" Venti scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.

Even he hadn't expected Mondstadt to have such a dog hole. It seemed this hole had existed for a very long time.

The fact that the Knights of Favonius hadn't discovered this hole for so long was, to some extent, problematic.

But what could he say?

Of course, he had to make some excuses for the Knights of Favonius!

"Actually, for us, this might not be a bad opportunity!" Venti quickly changed the subject.

"An opportunity? To lure the Abyss Order in and wipe them out in one fell swoop? That is indeed a method." Mu Yang nodded slightly: "If the other party catches Mondstadt off guard, it will inevitably cause huge losses."

"But as long as there is preparation, then we can just kill as many as come."

"Just let them deliver their heads directly."

"The only thing to worry about is whether your Mondstadt has the ability to resolve an invasion by the Abyss Order."

"The number of Abyss Order members entering the City of Mondstadt will certainly not be too large!" Venti pondered for a moment: "With the current strength of the Knights of Favonius, they should be able to handle it."

"There are still a few days before Dvalin's invasion; I can still take Jean and Diluc to get stronger!"

"By then, their strength will have improved significantly."

Mu Yang nodded slightly. Even he was moved; Diluc and Jean had brought him a massive amount of points over the last two days. This wasn't because Diluc and Jean were overwhelmingly powerful, but because Venti's crowd control was simply too useful.

As long as Venti opened a wind eye to suck in all the nearby monsters, the two of them just had to go up and reap the kills.

The time they spent dealing with monsters was less than the time they spent traveling.

The harvest Diluc and Jean had gained in these two days was comparable to what Seeing Seeing Keqing gained in a month.

Of course, one couldn't blame Seeing Seeing Keqing; the number of monsters in the wild in Does Does Liyue couldn't compare to Mondstadt.

Moreover, Seeing Seeing Keqing often cleared monsters alone, so her speed naturally couldn't keep up with them.

Furthermore, Venti was a god of the world!

If it were Mu Yang himself, he would also like to team up with such teammates.

Monster suction plus control, and he would only need to reap the kills.

Venti had gone to great pains to help the two of them grow stronger quickly.

"That's true. Tomorrow you can go to some places with more monsters to help them improve their strength." Mu Yang pondered for a moment: "Dadaupa Gorge seems like a very good choice. As long as you wipe out the Hilichurls there."

"By then, Jean and Diluc will probably be able to improve to at least the strength of the top eight Fatui Harbingers."

Venti's mouth twitched upon hearing this. Mu Yang must be talking about La Signora, right?

He was definitely talking about La Signora!

Don't look at how easily La Signora was defeated by Mu Yang; her strength was unquestionable. In her normal state, she could use the Cryo Archon's authority, and after unleashing the power of the Crimson Witch of Embers, she possessed strength comparable to an adeptus.

If Diluc and Jean both possessed that level of strength, Mondstadt would be much safer, and even small-scale invasions by the Abyss Order would be within an acceptable range.

"Dadaupa Gorge is too big a target. If we really clear it out, the Abyss Order will inevitably think I've taken action." Venti was noncommittal; after all, the plan could not be disrupted at will.

"Aren't they trying to force you to take action?"

"At this time, the more you act, the happier they will be, and they will try even harder to corrupt you!"

"Just like how they plan to control Dvalin to attack you later—isn't that just to force you to act?" Mu Yang chuckled: "This is a continuous stream of points!"

"That sounds very reasonable!" Venti looked enlightened: "I was worried about being corrupted by Abyssal power before, but now I'm not afraid anymore. As long as I don't wear the crown, this is all under the control of the Abyss Order."

"They might even think I am putting up a final resistance."

"So you can now appropriately clear some monsters, but not too many at once. That way, even if the Abyss Order finds out, they will only think you are trying your best, but are already unable to stop it all."

"Their plan is working!"

"You can even disguise yourself as if you are about to be corrupted and fall to the Abyss."

"By then, they will try even harder to corrupt you, and even bring Dvalin along. After all, with you, a fallen Anemo Archon, who would still want Dvalin?"

"They won't expect that you can cleanse the filth of the Abyss, will they?" Mu Yang patted Venti on the shoulder and said softly.

"Looking at it this way, the Abyss Order are good people!!" Venti sighed with emotion, "When the battle is resolved, I can even pretend to be on the verge of collapse."

"This way, it won't be exposed that we can actually purify Abyssal power."

"And with Diluc and Jean's strength, clearing the monsters within Mondstadt shouldn't be too difficult."

"I can go back to slacking off and fishing!"

Mu Yang looked at Venti speechlessly: "Did you have no intention of purifying those Abyssal filth at all?"

"I will naturally work hard on that, but Mondstadt needs time to recover afterward, doesn't it?"

"It can't handle too much tossing and turning, and I need to stay here!" Venti spread his hands, thought of something, but abandoned it a moment later.

The main force of the Knights of Favonius was still on an expedition. If possible, he hoped Mu Yang could give them a chat group, but he also knew that what Mu Yang gave Mondstadt was far more valuable than his own Gnosis.

Moreover, Mu Yang himself might not really want them to come back.

Whether it was Does Does Liyue or Mondstadt, both were now facing a reform, and it was a reform caused by Mu Yang, the Heavenly Principles.

Compared to the previous Heavenly Principles restricting human development, Venti was clearly looking forward to the current changes.

And for Mu Yang, those on the expedition were also a hidden danger. Even if he could push them in the name of the gods, it didn't seem necessary.

Thinking of the many people in the Knights of Favonius, even Venti had a feeling that letting them die outside and ending it in the name of heroes would be fine.

"By the way, after things in Mondstadt are over, you should probably go to Inazuma." Venti then reminded Mu Yang with a serious expression.

"Oh?" Mu Yang looked at Venti suspiciously: "My next plan is to obtain the Dendro Archon's Gnosis. I am very confident in obtaining that Gnosis."

It wasn't that he thought Nahida was easy to bully, but that Mu Yang could offer things Nahida couldn't refuse.

For example, the ability to purify filth; he could not only clear Abyssal filth but also Forbidden Knowledge.

Mu Yang was very confident about this.

The Irminsul Tree needed his power to be cleaned, and Mu Yang could also rescue the Lesser Lord Kusanali, and then take the Gnosis with a clear conscience.

Most importantly, Sumeru was guilty!

Man-made Archons!

That was very bold!

You're afraid of getting a nail, aren't you? If the previous Heavenly Principles hadn't had an accident and knew what Sumeru had done, they would have been nailed sooner or later.

As for Inazuma, Mu Yang had no intention of going there directly.

Raiden Ei was a martial artist; without sufficient strength, he couldn't make her submit.

Mu Yang's strength needed to go a step further.

But Venti wanted him to go to Inazuma—could it be that something had happened there?

"Hmm, the thousand winds tell me that the leylines in Inazuma are also very chaotic and showing signs of being unable to be suppressed."

"That place is close to the Dark Sea. If something happens in Inazuma, those guys in the Dark Sea probably won't sit idly by." Venti continued, "Moreover, Inazuma is a very special country; there are many secrets of the continent of Teyvat there."

"Some secrets are not even known to us, the Seven Archons."

"But as the Heavenly Principles, you need to know those truths!"

"Understood!" Mu Yang nodded slightly. It seemed Inazuma did have many secrets—Enkanomiya and Tsurumi Island were both problems.

However, the biggest problem in Inazuma at the moment was the chaos of the leylines. If it were normal times, the Sacred Sakura could suppress these problems, but now it was different.

The leylines of the entire Teyvat continent were in chaos.

The situation in Inazuma could be imagined.

Moreover, the situation of the Inazuma Tri-Commission might not be much better than the Knights of Favonius after their expedition.

Don't forget that the Tenryou Commission held military power. With those wine-bag wastes of the Kujou Clan, it would be a strange thing if they could solve the problem.

……………………………………………………

After giving Mu Yang some advice, Venti took his leave; he still had many things to deal with.

For example, going to Angel's Share to drink. He had helped Diluc farm so many points during the day, so what was wrong with enjoying himself now!

If he didn't go to Angel's Share to spend today, it would be a real loss. Maybe he could even get some precious fine wine from Diluc!

Mu Yang flashed back to Jean's house and found that Barbara had fallen asleep on the sofa. Unlike the priestess outfit she usually wore, Barbara was now wearing a pure white ruffled nightgown, which gave Mu Yang a different feeling.

Barbara wasn't very old, but she was quite well-endowed!

Especially those curled-up little feet, they were very cute.

Mu Yang muttered a word, came to Barbara's side, and pushed her shoulder, "Barbara, Barbara!"
