Chapter 681: Undercurrents Surge! (Please Subscribe!!)

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you're actually getting proud?"

Jiang Yan rolled his eyes at Morax.

"I don't know what you were thinking. You were a perfectly fine deity, yet you chose to retire."

"Aren't you the same?"

Morax retorted without any courtesy.

"You were the Tianquan, the Grand Steward of Liyue. You could have stayed in that position forever, and no one would have said a word."

The two pillars of Liyue, both wanting to retire and slack off, began their daily bickering.

"In short, this time, neither of us will interfere?"

Jiang Yan looked at Morax and asked.

Morax nodded. "This is my test for the people of Liyue. What would it mean if you interfered?"

"Then you must tell Ruotuo and the others."

Jiang Yan said.

"After all, even without the two of us, the Adepti, Ruotuo, and Apophis are all there."

"No need to worry."

Morax naturally knew what Jiang Yan was referring to.

After all, before retiring, he had already planned everything out.

He had also notified the Adepti and Ruotuo.

"By the way, you should remind Apophis as well."

Morax said to Jiang Yan.

"Mm, I understand."

Jiang Yan nodded.

To test the people of Liyue, Morax, one could say, had blocked all Archon-level combat power within the Liyue High Command this time.

All that remained for the people of Liyue were the three great armies Jiang Yan had built over thousands of years.

However, Jiang Yan believed that, given the current strength of the three great armies, as long as they did not wage war against all surrounding nations simultaneously.

They could withstand any crisis.

Jiang Yan had this confidence.

However, Morax and Jiang Yan's thoughts were almost identical.

If Liyue truly faced a crisis of national annihilation during this test, then Jiang Yan and Morax would act without hesitation.

To suppress this crisis.

At all times, the Wood Spirit Immortal Lord and the Geo Archon would forever be Liyue's final barrier.

"Heh, after signing an unequal treaty, how much chaos will Zhidongbu Society stir up in Liyue?"

After notifying Apophis, Jiang Yan and Morax sat together in a pavilion, drinking tea and chatting.

"Zhidongbu Society will not let this go."

"I knew it the moment they intended to fulfill this contract."

"This time, these fellows are absolutely going to do something big."

Morax took a sip of the clear tea Jiang Yan had brewed for him, speaking in a faint tone.

"But I truly do not know what strength Zhidongbu Society could possibly have left to disturb Liyue again."

"The Harbingers gathering in Liyue?"

Jiang Yan chuckled, his tone showing no sign of worry whatsoever.

He was indeed familiar with Zhidongbu Society's strength.

But Liyue's combat power had long since changed beyond recognition.

Moreover, judging by Zhidongbu Society's current level of strength.

Even without the appearance of Archon-level combat power like Morax, Jiang Yan, or Long Wang Ruotuo.

Zhidongbu Society would not dare to formally declare war on Liyue on its own.

They could only furtively pull some small strings.

With Little Ningguang's intelligence, resolving these matters should be no problem.

On Jade Terrace, under Little Ningguang's reassurance, the people, though panicked in their hearts, did not descend into outright chaos.

After all, Little Ningguang had served in the position of Tianquan for five years; she still possessed the authority of a Tianquan.

Reassuring the people was quite easy.

But whether it was Little Ningguang or the ruling officials within the Liyue government.

They could all feel that after the Geo Archon announced his retirement, undercurrents began to surge within Liyue Harbor.

Especially at the Northland Bank, where Zhidongbu Society was located.

For some reason, the movement of personnel at the Northland Bank suddenly increased significantly.

Although Little Ningguang cautiously dispatched Ye Lan from the Ministry of Civil Affairs and spies from the Millelith to infiltrate the Northland Bank and investigate.

There was still no result.

The Northland Bank seemed to merely have high personnel turnover, with no schemes or abnormalities whatsoever.

Yet Little Ningguang still did not lower her guard against them because of this.

And the Traveler, who had arrived in Liyue, began searching for Morax's whereabouts after Morax departed.

"Traveler, if we search aimlessly like this, it should be of no use."

Paimon floated listlessly in the air, drifting slowly up and down beside Lumine.

How could Lumine not know the point Paimon was making?

But she had no leads either.

Originally, Lumine had intended to ask Morax directly during the Rite of Descension.
