Chapter 697: The Anomaly Beyond the Dark Outer Sea (Please Subscribe!!)

"Oh?"

Upon hearing Morax say this, Jiang Yan immediately became interested.

"Tell me the details."

Something that could make Morax ask for his help was definitely not simple.

At least, that was what Jiang Yan thought.

With his insight, he truly could not imagine what thing could require Morax's cooperation.

Although Morax's combat power at this moment was indeed unable to defeat Jiang Yan.

But besides Jiang Yan and the one above the Sky Island, the Heavenly Principles, Morax, as the oldest god among the Seven Archons of this continent.

His strength, with the support of no erosion over so many years, had reached the strongest among the Seven Archons.

As long as Jiang Yan or the Heavenly Principles did not intervene, Morax could be said to be an existence that could walk freely across the entire Teyvat Continent.

"Five Four Zero" After pouring a cup of clear tea for Morax again, Morax began to tell Jiang Yan his plan.

"Jiang Yan, I need you to go to the Dark Outer Sea for me."

Morax looked at Jiang Yan, his tone extremely steady, without any fluctuation.

"The Dark Outer Sea?"

"What are we going there to do?"

Jiang Yan immediately became somewhat puzzled.

But speaking of it, Jiang Yan had indeed never been to the Dark Outer Sea.

He only annihilated a group of Archons who came from the Dark Outer Sea in one strike during the Khaenri'ah War five hundred years ago.

It is said that many Archons, after failing in the Archon War, fled to the Dark Outer Sea.

"A few days ago, I went there once."

Morax did not immediately answer Jiang Yan's question, but continued to tell Jiang Yan.

"You once told me that the reason the Abyss Lord does not die is suspected to be that black qi surrounding him."

"And there, I also saw that kind of... black qi you mentioned!"

Hearing Morax's words, Jiang Yan became serious in a rare manner.

This matter involved the Abyss Lord, so Jiang Yan had to be cautious.

Although Jiang Yan now had a method to kill the Abyss Lord.

But whether this method would work or not, he had not tested it.

So, it was better to be serious when dealing with the Abyss Lord.

"Do you mean the Abyss Lord is currently in the Dark Outer Sea?"

Jiang Yan looked at Morax with some confusion.

"Then what does this have to do with us?"

"It has to do with us, and although there is this black qi there, the Abyss Lord is not there."

"I did not see any trace of the Abyss there."

"And the reasons I want you to go there are two."

Morax looked at Jiang Yan.

"First, I suspect that black qi is the source, and since you have come into contact with it, I want you to go take a look."

"Second, eliminate the Archons surrounding the area."

At this moment, for some reason, Morax's tone was filled with killing intent.

This was the first time Jiang Yan had seen Morax hold such murderous intent towards the Archons in the Dark Outer Sea.

"What? Did that group of Archons provoke you?"

Jiang Yan asked.

To Jiang Yan's surprise, Morax shook his head.

"No."

"After I went there, I discovered that the Archons there had all been contaminated by the black qi, becoming puppets controlled by the black qi."

"At this time, the Abyss has not yet come into contact with that place; if the Abyss Lord were to come into contact with it..."

Morax had not finished speaking when Jiang Yan had already finished it for him.

"Then the Abyss Lord would very likely use the method of controlling the black qi to control all the Archons in the Dark Outer Sea!"

"Exactly!"

Morax nodded.

"By then, the Abyss Lord might rely on these Archons of the Dark Outer Sea to launch another attack on the current Teyvat Continent."

"And the three nations of Liyue, Sumeru, and Inazuma, which are close to the Dark Outer Sea, will be the first to suffer!"

Morax's words undoubtedly struck Jiang Yan's weak point.

Not to mention how much Jiang Yan cared about the nation of Liyue.

His own subjects, without his knowledge, were subjected to inhumane human experiments by the Snezhnaya.

Even though the incident had passed several years, after learning of it, Jiang Yan still broke into Snezhnaya and instantly shattered the arrogance and pride of those Snezhnaya people.

The powerful gods and Fatui Harbingers were easily suppressed by Jiang Yan, and the instigator of that incident was tortured to death.

This was just Liyue 0.

Next door were the two nations of Inazuma and Sumeru.

Jiang Yan might not be very interested in the two nations.

But the gods of the two nations, the sisters Raiden Makoto and Raiden Ei of Inazuma, and the Guuji of the Grand Narukami Shrine, Kitsune Saiguu.

The Great Benevolent Tree King of Sumeru.

Those are all Jiang Yan's little wives; Jiang Yan certainly cannot sit idly by.

If that is the case, then Jiang Yan truly must intervene in this matter.

"Sigh, you know my weak spot."

Jiang Yan let out a light sigh.

"It is not that I know your weak spot; it is just that regarding the black qi, I feel you understand it better."
