Chapter 498

"As the Liyue Qixing, destroying the enemy is our duty!"

Lady Ningguang did not show a smile at Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun's praise,

her face utterly calm.

"Exactly. Even if the opponent is a Demon God, the Liyue Qixing and the Millelith will not retreat a single step!"

Lady Keqing stepped forward, her expression resolute as she said.

Seeing the two women's demeanor, the gathered adepti also fell silent.

Though they said nothing more, their gazes had clearly softened considerably.

Seeing this scene, Ganyu's mood was naturally the happiest of all.

"In this time of crisis, let us 'eight four three' join forces against the enemy!"

Since her steel armor did not need to defuse the conflict between both sides, then let it deal with the Demon God!

Just right to use it to test the weapon's might!

Everyone nodded, their gazes turning solemn toward the Jade Chamber.

Clearly, they had all made their preparations for battle.

……

On the other side,

Liyue Harbor.

On a certain street.

Lumine and the others were following Zhongli to make preparations for the Adeptus' funeral.

Young Master, in order to avoid missing any information, also followed the entire way.

Therefore, he also took on the role of wallet along the road.

"Sigh, this Adeptus' funeral is really too troublesome. Seeing the Immortal Ancestor's corpse-relic is really not easy."

Little Paimon also let out a sigh.

"After all, the Geo Archon is no ordinary adeptus. It's only natural that the ceremony be a little grander."

Zhongli said with a faint smile.

Holding one's own ceremony for oneself, of course one must put in a little more care.

"Moreover…"

Just as Zhongli was preparing to continue saying something, his brow suddenly furrowed,

his gaze turning toward Guyun Pavilion.

"Moreover what?"

Seeing Zhongli stop mid-sentence, Little Paimon looked utterly curious.

But upon seeing Zhongli gazing intently at a certain place, she immediately felt a little puzzled again.

"What are you looking at?"

"The Whirlwind Demon God is about to revive! Liyue is in danger!"

Zhongli said in a low voice.

"What? That guy really has revived?"

Hearing this, Young Master immediately ran over in shock, his tone full of astonishment.

"Mm! It should be soon!"

Zhongli nodded.

He had already sensed that the seal there was very weak.

In probably a little while longer, it could be completely broken open.

When that time comes,

the Demon God will once again reappear upon Teyvat!

"It seems the Fake Peace Star really did go there…"

Young Master sighed.

The last shred of luck in his heart also vanished without a trace.

"The Whirlwind Demon God? Sounds like a pretty terrifying thing?"

Watching the two's solemn expressions, Lumine said curiously.

"The Whirlwind Demon God Osial, several thousand years ago, once contended with the Geo Archon for the position of Geo Archon.

But in the end he was defeated, and was sealed within Guyun Pavilion by the Archon.

Now, due to certain unknown reasons, his seal has weakened, and his release is imminent!"

Zhongli explained softly.

"I see! I wonder which scoundrel did it?

Releasing a Demon God truly deserves death a thousand times over!"

Little Paimon stamped her foot in anger.

Then she looked toward Young Master beside her and said, "Right, Young Master?"

Earlier she had seen Young Master's utterly solemn expression and thought he was worried.

"Y-yes, you're right."

Young Master forced a smile onto his face.

Being cursed at without being able to talk back was one thing,

but he still had to agree.

【】

Truly frustrating.

"Right, Ying, could this be the interesting thing Boss Han mentioned to us before?"

Little Paimon suddenly thought of something and looked toward Yingmei.

"Y-yeah, I think so?"

Yingmei said, a little uncertain.

"First he said we'd have a very unforgettable time at the Adeptus Summoning Ceremony, then he said we'd run into something interesting.

Hmph, Boss Han is always so cryptic!"

Little Paimon grumbled, hands on hips.

Meanwhile, Zhongli and Young Master, standing nearby, were utterly shocked upon hearing this.

So Boss Han had foreseen all of this long ago?

How terrifying!

"You two, might I ask if you could go lend a hand over at Guyun Pavilion?"

Zhongli spoke up to ask.

Given his status, he definitely couldn't make a move himself.

He could only observe in secret, as a last resort..

But Yingmei could.

"No problem at all!"

Yingmei agreed without hesitation.

Zhongli had already agreed to help her see the Adeptus' remains, so naturally she had to help with this favor too.

As for the danger, Yingmei wasn't too worried.

Worst case, she'd just open a door and run.

With that, she had plenty of confidence.

"Then thank you. I'll continue preparing here, and once you're back, you'll be able to see the Adeptus' remains."

Zhongli said, nodding.

"Mm, but Young Master, are you coming too?"

Yingmei looked toward Young Master, who was standing nearby.

"Huh? Me?"

Hearing his name mentioned, Young Master was taken aback.

Hello?

Are you serious?
