Chapter 456

Even if he is there at tomorrow's Invocation Ceremony, Ningguang would never believe the Dijun could be in danger!

"There are also some ordinary people, but their rewards are all quite mundane.

But one person is different—his reward is terrifying, and may even have caused serious consequences!"

The commander of the Qianyan Army said with a grave expression.

Thinking of the matter the Young Master had come to tell him earlier, he felt his mind go blank.

Could the Vortex Demon God be awakening?!

This is too absurd!

But given the miraculous nature of the manga shop, he still told Lady Ningguang.

"Young Master? Fake Peace Star? Vortex Demon God?!"

Hearing these increasingly severe terms, Ningguang's expression turned grim.

That the Young Master had discovered the manga shop so quickly was something she had never anticipated.

But if she knew the Young Master had been drawn there by the stationed Qianyan Army,

what would Ningguang think?

In fact, whether or not the Young Master received the reward is no longer important.

What matters is that Fake Peace Star!

"The Fake Peace Star has the ability to strengthen and attach itself—it flew toward Gu Yun Pavilion? The Young Master really told you that?"

Ningguang asked again.

With demons involved, she could not afford to ignore this.

"Yes, but he said the Fake Peace Star's effect was described by Hanlaoban.

As for whether the Peace Star reached Gu Yun Pavilion or awakened the Vortex Demon God, he doesn't know—he only knows it flew in that direction."

The commander of the Qianyan Army relayed all the information he had.

Not a single detail withheld.

Clearly, he understood the severity of the situation.

"If Hanlaoban said it, then the Fake Peace Star's effect must be real."

Ningguang thought to herself.

She would never believe Hanlaoban would lie about this.

As for specifics, she could just ask via her phone.

After all, this matter is too critical to be careless about.

Thinking of this,

Ningguang reached for her phone to consult Hanlaoban.

And at that moment,

a terrifying sword intent swept across all of Liyue,

instantly, Ningguang and the others felt an overwhelming pressure,

pressing down on their hearts.

"This… what is this?"

The commander of the Qianyan Army was thrown into panic.

He had never encountered such a terrifying pressure.

Before it, he could not summon even a shred of will to resist.

"An unprecedented terrifying pressure—is this Hanlaoban?"

Ningguang's expression turned grim.

In her experience, such a thing had never occurred before.

And now it has appeared,

it must be connected to the manga shop that only appeared today.

Not to mention that manga shop has many other miraculous qualities.

Thinking of this,

Ningguang spoke gravely to the commander of the Qianyan Army.

"You must guard that place—treat that manga shop with the same reverence you show the Dijun!

If Hanlaoban gives you any orders, you must do your utmost to fulfill them. If you cannot, come find me!"

"Treat… treat the manga shop with the same reverence as the Dijun?!"

The commander of the Qianyan Army was stunned.

Who is the Dijun?

He is the god of Liyue!

The most revered figure among all Liyue's people!

Even if that manga shop is miraculous, it hardly deserves the same status as the Dijun!

Had this not been said by Lady Ningguang, he would have suspected it was a fake order.

Wait—

Just now, Lady Ningguang said… Hanlaoban?

The one who unleashed that terrifying pressure?!

Realizing this possibility, the Qianyan Army gasped in shock.

"It seems you've realized it too—remember what I just said from now on."

This is for your own good, and for the good of Liyue!

Looking at the changing expression of the Qianyan Army's leader, Lady Ningguang reiterated her warning.

My mood isn't great today; please get some rest early, everyone.
