Chapter 580: Hearing Luo Li: The Chasm, I

~6 min read 1,072 words

The five Yakshas were as close as brothers and sisters, loving and caring for one another.

However, after the Archon War, the resentment of various Archons spread across this land.

In order to subdue demons, the Yakshas dispersed to govern their own regions, running across the land day and night.

Day after day, they were gradually tainted by the Archon's resentment, and many problems gradually appeared.

Thanks to this, the Yakshas lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests, not even coming into contact with humans, and their fame gradually faded.

Later, they all went missing during the Abyss disaster five hundred years ago.

Because the Liyue land was filled with the flames of war at that time, and the accident was too sudden, the Archon rushed to Khaenri'ah to wage a war of annihilation.

And Liyue, unlike Inazuma which had early warnings because of Hearing Luo Li, suffered heavy losses; in order to push the front line outside the city of Liyue, there were countless casualties.

Yakshas, immortals, and warlock families followed one after another, finally building a tragic defensive line with flesh and blood.

Time passed, five hundred years went by, and the deeds of that time were no longer known to anyone.

The five great Yakshas also lost four of their number after that time, leaving only one lone seedling.

That was the current Conqueror of Demons—Xiao.

Thinking about it, he must be very eager to know the whereabouts of his four brothers and sisters.

21 To see the person alive, or see the corpse if dead.

It had even become an obsession in Xiao's heart.

For this, he was willing to leave the place he had guarded for hundreds of years, disregarding danger just to find the truth.

Even if the nameless Yaksha was very likely not his brother or sister, but just an unknown person among the Yaksha group.

During this time, Xiao had been burying his worries in his heart, not knowing how to explain it to the Archon.

Now that it had been pointed out by Cloud Retainer, it was better to tell the truth.

Zhong Li was silent for a moment, not speaking, but gently drank a cup, and even the smile on his face faded a little.

"The Chasm is full of dangers; if you want to go, I fear the future of this trip is unknown."

That he could say these words was enough to show how dangerous it was.

Xiao said without any hesitation, "I hope the Archon will grant permission."

"Very well, if you insist on going, I cannot stop you."

Zhong Li sighed, appearing not to favor his trip to The Chasm, holding a pessimistic attitude.

Hearing Luo Li narrowed his eyes slightly; he was quite curious about The Chasm, knew little about it, and very much wanted to explore it.

Lumine and Paimon felt a tremor in their hearts when they saw Zhong Li say this, especially Paimon.

"Wait, Zhong Li, don't scare us! Lumine and I are going too!"

She tremblingly pulled on Lumine's shoulder, her little face looking terrified.

Zhong Li just shook his head slightly, making no comment.

Lumine's expression was also very solemn; it would be one thing if others said so, but even Zhong Li didn't feel optimistic, and considering the one going was Xiao, one of the immortals, it was hard to imagine just how dangerous it would be.

Paimon subconsciously looked at Hearing Luo Li, flew to his side, and said with a trembling voice, "Hearing Luo Li, quickly calculate for us, will there be life-threatening danger in The Chasm?"

She and the Traveler just wanted to find her brother and incidentally expose the secrets of the Abyss Order; they didn't plan on throwing their lives away.

Watching the little one pulling on his shoulder with her little hands, looking so pitiful, Hearing Luo Li couldn't help but laugh.

"Scared now? If the result is dangerous, will you still go?"

His teasing tone also carried a hint of ulterior inquiry.

Lumine was stunned for a moment, then firmly made up her mind.

"Even so, I will go!"

Finding her brother was her only wish, and for that, even if she encountered life-threatening danger, it would be the same.

Seeing her companion's firm determination, Paimon was dumbfounded.

After a long while, the little one stomped her feet and gritted her teeth, "If Lumine goes, I'll follow too; if she encounters danger alone, with me there, there might be a glimmer of hope."

"Paimon..."

Lumine's gaze softened, and she was quite moved inside.

The two had been together for so long; although they argued and disliked each other all day, their firm feelings at critical moments could never be shaken.

"I was just saying, why do you look like you're about to sacrifice yourself?"

Hearing Luo Li, finding it interesting, couldn't help but flick Paimon's forehead, sending the little one flying.

"Hey! That hurts!" Paimon protested, covering her forehead.

"Since you are so worried, I will take a look for you."

Saying this, Hearing Luo Li used astrology.

Unlike Mona's Hydromancy, he used the starry sky; of course, it was not the false sky of Teyvat.

Seeing the sea of stars appearing to float in Hearing Luo Li's eyes, the atmosphere of fate's vicissitudes permeated out, connecting to the other shore in an unknown place.

Everyone present, except for Zhong Li who remained calm, was mostly shaken.

Everyone felt as if they were standing naked in front of him; of course, this was just a metaphor—accurately speaking, it was as if all their secrets were thoroughly seen through by him in an instant.

Everything in their lives was seen by him in minute detail.

After only a moment, Hearing Luo Li dispersed the astrology, and a hint of confusion appeared in his eyes.

"Strange, how could something related to me appear in The Chasm?"

He muttered to himself, feeling very puzzled by this.

Through the astrology just now, he sensed that something in The Chasm was connected to him, and the two had some kind of causal relationship.

But Hearing Luo Li knew that he had never been to The Chasm, 070 and had never left anything there; it was truly bizarre.

The state of deep thought while rubbing his chin was soon broken by Paimon, who anxiously shouted, "How is it, how is it, will we be okay?" ===== CHAPTER 582 =====
