Chapter 350: Yanfei: We are already inside the Archaic Stone Slate?

In the cold pool.

Lumine first floated up from the water, held Paimon, who was spitting water in small mouthfuls, and then looked around.

"Everyone is here, right?"

The clothes on her body had just dried, but they were wet again; even Yelan frowned because of this.

As she greeted, the others responded one by one.

With the five different tones sounding, Yelan felt relieved.

It seemed that everyone hadn't been separated.

Followed by the sound of swimming in the water, the group of six swam from the center of the pool to the shore.

As a result, when they looked up, a figure was looking down at everyone from not far away.

Arataki Itto was startled: "Ah! A ghost!"

The scream, which could be called tragic, made the group tremble, and they subconsciously looked at the person on the shore with vigilance.

"The Yaksha race fears ghosts? That's a first for me."

A strange voice drifted over from the shore.

The tone, laced with mockery and devoid of any malice, left the group feeling suspicious and uneasy.

Seeing that the person didn't seem to have any immediate intention of attacking them, the six of them scrambled out of the pool as fast as they could, not even bothering to wipe off the water dripping from their bodies, and stood on the other side, warily sizing up the figure in the darkness.

Paimon felt a bit like complaining; they had finally found the domain and passed the mechanisms to reach the passage, only to jump from one cave into another.

Arataki Itto gathered his courage and asked, "You... how did you know I'm a Yaksha?"

As he asked, he felt a bit strange; the voice sounded somewhat familiar.

Kuki Shinobu had the same thought, and for a moment, she didn't know what to do.

Yanfei whispered, "Be careful, this space is very strange."

"Lumine, little one, I didn't expect you to have forgotten me after such a short time."

The figure in the darkness walked out helplessly, appearing in the light reflected by the pool.

Half of his body emerged into the faint blue glow as Luo Li surveyed them with a light, airy gaze.

"Mr. Luo Li?!"

Lumine and Paimon were startled; they never expected it to be him. No wonder they felt it was familiar just now.

"It's me. Did you mistake me for an enemy just now?"

"Hehehe, well, this place is just too weird!"

The moment his identity was confirmed, Paimon couldn't wait to fly over to his side.

Having been terrified just before, she finally found a pillar of support, and her sense of security exploded; she wanted to stick to him immediately.

Luo Li picked Paimon up with one hand, poked her cheek, and then asked the others.

"How did you end up here?"

At this moment, Yelan and Yanfei also approached him.

Everyone present knew Luo Li's identity and was aware of his noble status and immense power, so they suddenly felt they had a backbone, and the atmosphere was no longer as stifling as before.

Yanfei cautiously recounted everything that had happened, including hearing Xiao's voice, which led the group to chase into the domain and arrive here.

"I see."

Luo Li muttered thoughtfully, "So that girl set up two different passages in the Divine Instrument of the Great Wei."

If his guess was correct, the Star Sea space was a trap prepared for those with great strength, while the weaker ones would be sent to another place.

Hearing the familiar term, Yanfei couldn't help but ask in surprise, "You said... the Divine Instrument of the Great Wei?"

Judging by his tone, were they already inside the Divine Instrument of the Great Wei?!

"What about it?"

"Is Your Highness also here for the Divine Instrument of the Great Wei?"

"This item was a treasure I gifted to Guizhong back then. Now that it's lost here, I naturally have to take it back."

Yanfei's eyes widened slightly; so that was the origin of the Divine Instrument of the Great Wei.

While surprised, she noticed Luo Li's gaze falling on the surroundings and couldn't help but scan them as well.

She discovered they were in an enclosed cave, but unlike before, there were five doors on the stone walls.

The doors were tightly shut, and it was unknown what mysteries were hidden inside.

"Look, everyone, what are those doors for?"

Kuki Shinobu pointed at the multiple doors, her eyes full of questions.

Paimon put her hands on her hips and said confidently, "In times like this, we should naturally ask Mr. Luo Li for the answer!"

Since it was his treasure, he was clearly familiar with the structure inside.

However, to her surprise, Luo Li shook his head and said, "I don't know either. Guizhong modified all the internal mechanisms; it's unrecognizable and completely different from when I gave it to her."

"If even you don't know, how are we supposed to get out?!"

Luo Li raised an eyebrow slightly: "Getting out is simple; I can send you out at any time. Are you sure you want to leave?"

Paimon was just about to happily agree when she heard Yelan firmly refuse: "Please, Your Highness, let me continue exploring. I want to find out the whereabouts of my ancestors, what was recorded in their last words, and the truth about the Khaenri'ah disaster."

Yanfei also earnestly echoed, "Although you have come in person, Your Highness, I must fulfill the promise I made to Granny!"

Seeing this, Arataki Itto and Kuki Shinobu exchanged glances, and excitement gradually appeared in their eyes.

Now that His Highness Luo Li had appeared and guaranteed he could send them out at any time, their safety was assured, and they had more room to think.

For example, they were curious about the Divine Instrument of the Great Wei and the secrets hidden in Liyue's The Chasm, and wanted to take a peek.

Lumine and Paimon went without saying; it was impossible for them to leave the others behind.

Seeing that everyone present had received a safety guarantee and was eager to try, Luo Li felt he didn't need to ask anymore.

"Don't wander off later; I can guarantee your safety."

Although it wouldn't matter if they did wander off, he still had to warn them beforehand to prevent them from being too relaxed and causing themselves minor trouble.

The group quickly agreed, not daring to offer any rebuttal.

Seeing that the group was very well-behaved, Luo Li nodded slightly, but at this moment, Lumine looked like she had something to say.

"Lumine, what is it?"

The blonde girl hesitated and said, "We heard Xiao's voice earlier; he seemed to be fighting. Could he be in danger?"

Luo Li pondered for a moment, "Since you are worried about him, I will bring him over as well."

He didn't think Xiao would encounter a very dangerous situation, because Guizhong's original intention in setting up the Divine Instrument of the Great Wei was to trap and bind, not to kill, so the lethality was limited.

Bring him over as well?

Before the group could understand the meaning of this sentence, Luo Li took action.

Inside the Divine Instrument of the Great Wei, even though it had been modified beyond recognition by Guizhong, it couldn't stop Luo Li from exerting his authority to some extent.

Simply wanting to find someone was really not difficult at all.
