Chapter 609: Hearing Luo Li arrives! A free bodyguard?

But soon, Dai Yin discovered something was wrong.

That cyan knight took a few steps forward, roaring directly at him.

After roaring for a moment, realizing that he seemingly couldn't understand, the cyan knight paused, let out a long, low cry, and then retreated with the black knights without looking back.

"What's going on? Could this Black Serpent Knight have something to say?"

"Impossible!"

Dai Yin decisively denied it: "Without that thing, it is fundamentally impossible to maintain consciousness for five hundred years."

"That thing?"

Dai Yin did not answer, falling into silence.

Mainly, he sensed an inexplicably familiar aura from that figure; he should know him.

In such a desperate catastrophe, this kind of miracle shouldn't have been born; perhaps it was a coincidence.

"Let's continue moving forward!"

Such an anomaly only strengthened Dai Yin's idea of investigating the secret.

The subsequent journey seemed exceptionally calm. Under Dai Yin's operation, the strange power used by the Abyss Order to surround the city and prevent outsiders from entering was easily broken by him.

The three of them stepped into the city with ease.

It was the first time Lumine and Paimon had hitched a ride on someone else's coattails, and they found it quite novel.

The process of not having to work hard to find mechanisms and solve them was truly fantastic.

"Hey, Dai Yin, does this city have any relation to Khaenri'ah?"

When they personally arrived in front of the inverted city, the three of them were shocked by its grandeur and magnificence.

The continuous complex of buildings extended to an invisible distance; most of the high towers and spires rose and fell, well-preserved buildings were extremely rare, and many gates were wide open.

The many abandoned facilities were overgrown with weeds. One could see statues still existing within, but they were broken off from the base, the parts above the pedestal completely gone; it was unknown what exactly had happened.

It was also unclear who exactly was being worshipped.

Facing Paimon's question, Dai Yin was just about to answer when the voice of a fourth person came from behind.

"This city has no necessary connection to Khaenri'ah. The ruins before your eyes originate from a much more ancient civilization, only to have been occupied by the Abyss Order."

The sudden voice caused the expressions of the three to change drastically; with tense bodies, they almost instantly assumed a hostile posture and turned around.

In their assumptions, the only thing that could suddenly appear deep within The Chasm was an Abyss Herald.

Just as they thought the other party was a member of the Abyss Order here to block the three from entering the city, they were slightly stunned after seeing the other's appearance, and the previous hostility quickly dissipated without a trace.

"Wait, is it... Mr. Hearing Luo Li?!" Paimon was the first to let out a cry of surprise.

That's right, the person who arrived was none other than Hearing Luo Li, who had rushed over from Liyue Harbor.

After no longer bothering Miss Keqing, he felt it was about time to set off, so he immediately chose to arrive at The Chasm via spatial movement.

By reading the ley line records, he could quite easily find the whereabouts of Lumine and Paimon.

And through a little bit of operation, teleporting to their side was nothing more than a trivial matter.

Scanning the surroundings quite casually, Hearing Luo Li frowned slightly and said: "Your progress is really slow; half a day has passed, and you've only just pushed to here."

While feeling disdain, Hearing Luo Li, having arrived at The Chasm, looked toward the distant underground. After truly arriving at The Chasm, he could feel a faint attraction coming from afar.

Presumably, that was where the Archaic Stone of Remembrance was located.

Being looked down upon by Hearing Luo Li, Paimon was unhappy.

"Our progress is already very fast; you can't demand we meet your standards!"

Hearing Luo Li pondered slightly for a moment: "That makes sense; what you said is very correct."

Only then did Paimon huff, indicating that what she said was reasonable and well-founded.

After the banter, Hearing Luo Li looked at Dainsleif to the side.

"We meet again, the Twilight Sword of Khaenri'ah."

"My lord." Dai Yin performed an official Khaenri'ah salute.

Not having expected to suddenly run into this divine lord, Dai Yin's expression became much more serious, and he curiously guessed the reason for the other party's arrival.

Being able to make a divine being come here in person, it all went to show that it contained an extremely important secret.

Perhaps, there was a very terrifying danger beneath The Chasm.

Seeing Dai Yin's face change, Hearing Luo Li said indifferently: "No need to let your imagination run wild; I am here merely to take back my own things."

Take back his own things?

The three of them didn't quite understand, but they were rational enough not to probe for the reason.

As long as his coming here had nothing to do with the Abyss Order, that was fine.

"Wait, Mr. Hearing Luo Li, you just mentioned a more ancient civilization; do you know about it?"

Paimon focused on the main point.

Come to think of it, as a god, this guy must know more secrets of ancient times, so it wouldn't be strange if he knew about this city.

"What if I know, and what if I don't? It doesn't have much significance for you."

Hearing Luo Li, once again incarnating as a riddle-maker, made the two of them hate him to the point of grinding their teeth.

It was hard enough for Dai Yin to be a clear-headed person for once, and now another one had come along.

So, the two of them, unable to take it, turned to ask Dai Yin; since it had a connection to the Abyss Order, they should at least get some information.

Dai Yin replied: "I can be certain that the architectural structure here is indeed somewhat similar to the past Khaenri'ah; the ones that are upright are even more so."

"So that's how it is."

The two of them suddenly realized, and then felt somewhat dejected.

It was no different from saying nothing at all.

At this moment, Paimon's eyes rolled, and she approached Hearing Luo Li with a fawning expression.

"What is it?"

Staring at the little thing, he looked at her with a scrutinizing gaze.

"Ehehe, well, Mr. Hearing Luo Li, since everyone has come here, we should help each other; why don't we act together from now on?"

She always felt that it wouldn't be safe if there were only three of them; after all, this was a location heavily monitored by the Abyss Order, and it was inevitable that they would encounter enemies they couldn't handle.

In order to avoid danger, finding an incredibly thick thigh to hug in advance was the best of the best choices.

Paimon's undisguised purpose left Lumine speechless, and subsequently, she felt quite tempted.

If she could tie Hearing Luo Li to her side, wouldn't they be able to walk sideways through The Chasm?

No matter how the group courted death, it wouldn't be a big problem.

What about the Abyss Order? At worst, they could just push through all the way.

Hearing Luo Li saw through Paimon's little thoughts at a glance. Looking at the little thing with a fawning smile, he was quite speechless.

When it comes to thick-skinned, it still has to be you, Paimon. ===== CHAPTER 611 =====
