Chapter 271: Leave Liyue (Request Subscription!!)

After further discussing the specifics, Jiang Yan spoke to the immortals:

"Alright, everyone go attend to your duties. With the Guili Army and the Zi Shu Sky Fortress stationed at Mingyun Town, those who control machines won't dare act rashly."

The immortals exchanged glances and nodded to each other.

"By the way, Morax, stay behind—I have something to discuss with you."

As the others prepared to leave, Jiang Yan suddenly called out, stopping Morax just as he was about to depart.

After everyone had gone, Morax looked at Jiang Yan and asked with a hint of confusion:

"What is it?"

Jiang Yan stood up and walked to the window.

"Morax, I'm leaving Liyue."

He gazed at the bustling crowds of Liyue and spoke softly.

"Leaving Liyue?"

Morax's gaze sharpened, his expression turning strange.

Leave Liyue now?

"Don't tell me you're planning to go alone to that Black Sun Dynasty."

"I won't allow it. 01"

Morax said gravely.

"Relax, relax..."

Jiang Yan smiled.

"I'm not foolish enough to enter that place alone."

"I just need to go find a way to solve some problems!"

Jiang Yan's eyes flickered as he stared out the window, lost in thought.

"What problems? You can discuss them with me. At a time like this, I don't believe you're not going to the Black Sun Dynasty."

Morax showed no sign of yielding.

He knew that if Jiang Yan was leaving Liyue now, even if not heading to the Black Sun Dynasty, he would surely seek out the so-called Abyss.

"What are you thinking?"

Jiang Yan rolled his eyes and said coolly.

"I haven't even planned to go there."

"Don't worry—I won't die. Even Tianli can't kill me."

Jiang Yan spoke softly, turning around.

Seeing Morax's skeptical expression, he smiled:

"Morax, you know me."

"Even if you try to stop me, I will go."

Jiang Yan knew that with Morax's wisdom, he had already guessed what Jiang Yan intended to do.

Yes, Jiang Yan planned to approach the Abyss up close, to understand what caused its corrupting power.

But before confronting the Abyss, just in case, Jiang Yan decided to visit other nations and thoroughly loot every region he hadn't yet explored.

Get a couple more fancy treasure chests—that's insurance!

If the Abyss truly arose from the corruption of the Quantum Sea, Jiang Yan had no real confidence.

After all, to break the Quantum Sea's corruption, one must reach beyond the world itself.

Morax fell silent. He knew Jiang Yan spoke the truth.

Jiang Yan's current strength—even at his peak—was still beyond Morax's full comprehension.

So, he was unlikely to stop Jiang Yan.

Yet even so, Morax still said to Jiang Yan:

"Jiang Yan, fight me."

"Beat me, and I won't stop you."

"If you can't even beat me, stay in Liyue. Don't go anywhere."

Jiang Yan smiled slightly and nodded in agreement.

Two streaks of light shot from Yuehai Pavilion into the sky.

Over the sea thousands of miles from Liyue, Jiang Yan landed on the water as if stepping onto solid ground.

Morax's golden eyes glowed as he stood still in the sky.

"Honestly, our last sparring match was probably back when we were building Liyue Harbor, right?"

Jiang Yan said to Morax with a smile.

Morax said nothing. The sky suddenly darkened.

A colossal celestial star descended from above, blotting out the horizon.

To stop Jiang Yan, he began at once with his utmost power.

Jiang Yan smiled faintly and closed his eyes.

"I'm not the same man I was back then, Morax!"

As he spoke, seven-colored light shimmered around him.

Bai Dong Link!

Dual Star State Activated!

Then, as he finished speaking, his eyes snapped open.

Like a cluster of stars, seven-colored radiance suddenly flared within his eyes.

At the same moment, within Jiang Yan's mind, the two talismans—of the ox and the rooster—lit up simultaneously.

The surrounding space also began to tremble ceaselessly beneath the intimidation of Jiang Yan's aura.

"Boom!!"

Jiang Yan's right foot stamped down violently, enormous spray fountaining in all directions, and his entire body shot toward the position of the celestial star like a sharp sword.

"Collapsing Star!"

Jiang Yan barked coldly and slammed a fist into the enormous celestial star.

In an instant, it was as if a swarm of stars were falling, and even the entire world showed a faint sign of instability.

The force of Jiang Yan's punch instantly shattered the entire celestial star into pieces, and immediately after, the fist-glow enveloped Morax in an instant.

Bang!!!

Morax was sent flying by the fist-glow and smashed a small island on the sea surface to pieces.

Jiang Yan arrived before Morax almost in an instant, gazing at the nearly unconscious Morax.

Morax struggled to stand, but the searing pain coursing through his body left him unable to move at all.

At this moment, Mo283rax finally understood why Jiang Yan had said that even the laws of heaven could not kill him.

"Sorry, Morax—went a bit too heavy with that one."

"I won't be in any danger, and please trust me on that."

"The matter of my departure—don't tell anyone. I'll leave behind a clone as proof that I'm still alive."
