Chapter 323

"Aiya, it's been so long, Jiang Xiaobai, you're still just as cute!"

After learning that Apep was one of their own, Yingda instantly dropped the act, unable to hold back the urge to pet Jiang Xiaobai any longer, and pulled her into his arms, kneading her nonstop.

"Let go of your Lord Ferret! Lord Ferret... Lord Ferret isn't someone just anyone can pet, hey!"

Jiang Xiaobai roared, her short little limbs kicking wildly, but Yingda seemed used to Jiang Xiaobai talking like this — his hands never stopped petting her.

In fact, he petted even harder.

It gave off that vibe of, the more you resist, the more excited I get.

"Apep, save me!"

Jiang Xiaobai, sunk deep in softness, wailed and called Apep for help.

"Serves you right!"

Apep snorted coldly and turned her head away.

Elsewhere, Jueyun Karst.

After walking out of his cave abode, Jiang Yan saw from afar Apep's enormous phantom towering between heaven and earth.

"Apep, this girl, looks like she's been holding in quite a bit of fire."

Jiang Yan chuckled lightly and said calmly.

"Heh, looks like that Lord of the Abyss is paying a lot of attention to my Liyue..."

A dense killing intent flashed in Jiang Yan's eyes. Through the coverage of his Cosmic Perception, he could clearly tell that at this moment, demons were invading Liyue's borders on all sides.

"Tch, interesting."

"But the demons around Liyue's borders, just leave them to Apep."

The place Jiang Yan was focused on was over at Inazuma.

After all, Lei Dianying should have already set off for Khaenri'ah by now.

Inazuma's side was sure to have a hard time defending.

After all, in the plot of his past life, Kitsune Saiguu died in this catastrophe, and even though Tiger Kouzuki didn't die, she went mad from the erosion of the Abyss.

Raiden Makoto also died in Khaenri'ah.

"Looks like time is a bit tight."

Jiang Yan spread his Cosmic Perception to the maximum, taking in the full view of Inazuma's situation and Khaenri'ah's situation at a glance.

Raiden Makoto was temporarily fine — though she had taken some injuries, the problem wasn't too big.

Let's head to Inazuma first. Judging by my own speed, it won't delay things!

Jiang Yan weighed it for a moment, and finally decided to make a trip to Inazuma first.

Outside the Chasm, Jiang Xiaobai and Apep both received Jiang Yan's voice transmission at the same time.

【Jiang Xiaobai, Apep, after you've finished dealing with the Chasm's situation, quickly reinforce the other areas.】

【Have the Liyue Qixing sweep the Chasm battlefield, make sure no more demons invade the Chasm!】

"Got it, Boss!" *2

After receiving the order, Jiang Xiaobai said to the Five Yaksha:

"The Immortal Lord has given an order!"

"Everyone, quickly clean up the Chasm battlefield, garrison outside the Chasm, and guard against another demon invasion!"

"Apep and I need to go reinforce the other battlefields!"

The Five Yaksha exchanged glances with each other, their faces solemn as they said:

"Yes!"

Then, Jiang Xiaobai leapt onto Apep's head, and Apep spiraled through the air, flying toward the other front lines.

Meanwhile, Jueyun Karst.

After Jiang Yan finished giving orders to Jiang Xiaobai and the others, his gaze turned toward the direction of Liyue Harbor.

"Heh, a pack of stray dogs, daring to make trouble at a time like this!"

A cold glint flashed in Jiang Yan's eyes, and a seven-colored stream of light flared up around him.

Then, accompanied by a tremendous roar, Jiang Yan's whole body shot into the sky, turning into a streak of light and flying toward the horizon.

Liyue Harbor — Lady Guizhong stood atop the Yueling Pavilion, her gaze fixed on the sea.

At this moment, Azhdaha was fighting a host of Archons alone to the east of Guyun Pavilion, and the aftershocks of the battle were even clearly visible from Liyue Harbor.

The common folk stood on the streets, eyes closed, praying.

The tremors of battle kept coming from afar — the common folk weren't fools, they surely knew what was happening.

As the tremors of battle kept coming, the pressure of war quickly overwhelmed some of Liyue's people.

They were shouting and screaming in the streets.

Calling out the names of the Immortal Lord and the Geo Lord, 300 words.

Praying for them to appear and save Liyue.

Lady Guizhong gazed at the chaos below, a flicker of emotion passing through her eyes.

How could she not also hope for Jiang Yan and Morax to appear?

But at this moment, Jiang Yan was in slumber, Morax had been summoned away by Celestia, and if Azhdaha couldn't hold out, then there would be nothing left but to use that ultra-giant Archon bomb hidden beneath the Yueling Pavilion.

That was the trump card Jiang Yan had left for all of Liyue.

Just at this moment, on the horizon, a tremendous roar rang out.

Everyone was startled by the huge commotion and looked up one after another.

Lady Guizhong turned like a startled bird to gaze into the distance, tension in her eyes.

This commotion...

The Chains of the Mortal World materialized beside Lady Guizhong; at this moment, she was ready for battle.

Just then, from the sky, a voice came to her that was infinitely familiar and longed for.

"Do not fear, I have come."

Hearing the voice, Lady Guizhong's eyes widened sharply, and her delicate body began to tremble violently.

"Jiang Yan..."

A voice tinged with tears issued from Lady Guizhong's mouth.

"Lady Guizhong has worked hard; from now on, leave it to me."

The gentle voice seemed to brush away the panic from Lady Guizhong; immediately after, amidst the cheers of the common people, a streak of seven-colored light flashed across the sky, flying toward the direction of Solitary Cloud Pavilion.
