Chapter 267: The Monster on the Snow Mountain (Please Subscribe!!)

After this gathering, the gods spent a few more days in Liyue.

A few days later, all the gods prepared to depart.

Although most had not yet had their fill, their own nations had many affairs, and staying in Liyue for long was certainly impossible.

Under the farewells of Jiang Yan and others, the gods each took their retinues and set off on their return journey.

"Jiang Yan! Come play in Inazuma when you have time!"

At Liyue Harbor, Raiden Makoto and others stood on the ship bound for Inazuma, waving at Jiang Yan on the shore.

"Mm, I'll definitely go if I have time!"

Jiang Yan smiled and waved back to bid them farewell.

With a long blast from the ship, the people of Inazuma gradually faded from Jiang Yan's sight.

"They're all gone..."

Barbatos walked to Jiang Yan's side and said softly.

"Yes..."

Jiang Yan also sighed; time truly did pass quickly.

In the blink of an eye, the days when the Seven Archons gathered had ended.

"But when do you plan to return to Mondstadt?"

Jiang Yan glanced at Barbatos beside him.

Perhaps among these gods, if one were to speak of who was the most idle.

Barbatos would dare claim second place, and no one would dare claim first.

"Hehe, I'm not in a hurry!"

Barbatos chuckled with a "hehe"; he had no intention of returning so soon.

After all, he had not yet had his fill of fun.

"You..."

Jiang Yan helplessly pressed his hand to his forehead.

"Do as you please, just don't cause any trouble for me in Liyue."

"Hey, hey, hey, in your eyes am I that kind of person who just causes trouble?"

Hearing Jiang Yan's words, Barbatos puffed out his cheeks in displeasure.

Jiang Yan smiled without speaking and turned to leave.

"Hey, explain yourself clearly before you go!"

Barbatos shouted and chased after him.

Yet Jiang Yan's pace grew faster and faster.

At the Yuehai Pavilion, as soon as Jiang Yan entered the third floor, Little Ganyu walked up carrying a stack of documents.

"A-Yan, the Millelith of Mingyun Town have reported!"

Little Ganyu's face bore a Solemn expression as she spoke to Jiang Yan.

"Strange disturbances have been reported from the snow mountain in eastern Liyue."

"According to the Millelith who investigated, a group of monsters with strange appearances are exploring something on the snow mountain."

"Strange disturbances, monsters with strange appearances?"

Jiang Yan froze for a moment; what on earth was this?

Taking the documents Little Ganyu handed him, Jiang Yan began to examine them carefully.

His brows furrowed; according to the Millelith's description in the documents, Jiang Yan suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.

An inexplicable familiarity!

"Human-like appearance, mechanical monsters with unusually long arms..."

Jiang Yan murmured.

This description...

How does it resemble...

Heavy Ruins?

Jiang Yan's eyes widened.

That's right, it is Heavy Ruins!

"So Khaenri'ah is about to make its appearance as well?"

Jiang Yan murmured softly, his brows furrowed tightly.

If asked what the greatest change in Teyvat since the Seven Archons took rule was.

It would undoubtedly be the Khaenri'ah Calamity.

The protagonist twins and the Abyss will all appear during this calamity.

And of the original gods of the seven nations, only two will remain after this calamity.

However, according to the current timeline, at least two thousand years remain until the Khaenri'ah Calamity.

Jiang Yan still had time to prepare some things.

Whether Khaenri'ah fell or not was indifferent to him.

He did not wish for people he knew well to perish because of this war.

"Little Ganyu, issue a notice to the Millelith Gui Li Army: send twenty thousand troops to station at the border of Mingyun Town to guard against those things on the snow mountain entering Liyue."

Jiang Yan spoke to Little Ganyu.

"If those things are ever found to be approaching Liyue, no need to request permission; annihilate them directly!"

"Notify the Liyue Air Force Department to pilot the Zi Rat into the snow mountains and monitor the movements of these machines at all times."

"Once the Guili Army engages them, launch remote fire support immediately!"

Jiang Yan issued orders with methodical precision; he would not allow anything capable of threatening Liyue's peace to enter Liyue!

Hearing the solemn tone in Jiang Yan's voice, Little Ganyu did not voice her doubts and nodded before exiting the third floor.

Whether it was her or anyone in Liyue, everyone trusted Jiang Yan's orders unconditionally.

For Jiang Yan to act this way, it certainly meant the things on the snow mountains posed a threat to Liyue's security.

After Little Ganyu left, Jiang Yan walked to the window and gazed toward the snow mountains.

"The Abyss, Khaenri'ah..."

Jiang Yan murmured, his eyes flickering, unsure of what he was thinking.

As Jiang Yan's orders were issued, the Guili Army stationed at Guili Plains began massive mobilizations.

Countless golden-armored soldiers holding Qianyan spears marched methodically toward the snow mountains.

At the same time, within the Mount Tianheng range, the air fortress Zi Rat slowly ascended, heading toward the snow mountains.

Jiang Yan's series of actions naturally did not escape the eyes of Morax and the immortals.

The massive mobilization of troops, even deploying the Zi Rat air fortress—could something have happened in the snow mountains?

Yet neither Morax nor Long Wang, nor the assembly of immortals, had received news that Liyue was preparing to go to war with anyone.

In an instant, the immortals gathered at Liyue Harbor.

Liyue's high-level combat forces all arrived at the third floor of the Yuehai Pavilion.

"Jiang Yan, what is the situation?"

Long Wang and Morax pushed the door open and entered; behind them followed the Five Yakshas and a host of immortals.

"Why the massive mobilization of the Guili Army? Has something happened?"

Long Wang's expression was serious as he asked Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan sat in the chair, irritably rubbing the center of his brow.
