Chapter 1347

Before Lady could finish her sentence, Luo Feng took the initiative to reach out and pat her arm.

"I appreciate your good intentions, but you are not yet a match for the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles."

"Furthermore, this is someone else's territory."

After saying this, Luo Feng looked toward Guest Zhongli.

Lady followed Luo Feng's gaze.

Before she knew it, Guest Zhongli had moved past Xiang Yanqing and Xiang Tuopa to stand at the very front, facing the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles.

"Xiang Yanqing, and Miss Xiang Tuopa, thank you for your trouble earlier."

"Leave the rest to me."

Guest Zhongli said calmly.

"This guy, he intends to take action himself?"

Lady raised an eyebrow and, just as Luo Feng had said, stood behind him.

【Miss Xinyan: Wha... what? The Lord intends to take action himself?!】

【Ba Ba La: Ehe, the old man finally couldn't hold back anymore.】

【Miss Keqing: …】

【Jing Yuan Li: This is truly… surprising!】

【Adeptus Li Shan Die: The Lord, he has indeed made such a judgment.】

【Xiang Liuyun: The Lord protects Liyue; I had long expected the Lord would take action. Even if the opponent is the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles.】

"No need to worry, Mr. Guest Zhongli, I can handle this."

Xiang Yanqing said confidently.

Although the blood-stained energy in the sky could frighten ordinary people, to him, it was far from terrifying.

Xiang Tuopa glanced at Guest Zhongli and asked:

"Are you sure? If I understand correctly, she is your direct superior."

Hearing this, Guest Zhongli nodded:

"She can indeed be called my superior, but protecting Liyue is also my duty."

After speaking, Guest Zhongli exerted the power of his Path to the fullest, and a golden light spread in all directions with him at the center.

In places both visible and invisible to people, stone pillars rose from the ground, following Guest Zhongli's will to release the power of the Geo element containing the Path of Preservation.

Quietly, a protective barrier that almost covered the entire Liyue land had already risen.

【Caolong Society: Hmph, not bad. Although I look down on gods, I agree with the choice of the Geo God, Guest Zhongli.】

【Ba Ba La: The old man is still as impressive as ever. No… I should say he is even more impressive than before, setting up a barrier covering all of Liyue in silence.】

【Protecting Liyue: Indeed, even in my territory, I can feel the shield formed by the stone pillars. The unique aura contained within must be the Path.】

【Protecting Liyue: From an intuitive perspective, it is indeed a very stable power. Why would the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles view this as a forbidden power?】

【Prince: Obviously, that guy is sleeping in a daze.】

【Puren Society: The Geo God is fighting the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles; I wonder who will be the victor of this battle. You also possess the power of the Path, what do you think, Mr. Lin De?】

【Lin De: Generally speaking, an entity that is stronger to begin with will be even stronger after obtaining the Path compared to one who is weaker.

And afterward, the further one walks on the path, the stronger one becomes.】

【Lin De: As the oldest god, the Geo God's strength is likely not weak. And he seems to have walked very far on the path of Preservation; perhaps he really can defeat the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles.】

【Puren Society: So, you are more optimistic about the Geo God?】

【Lin De: Originally, yes, but looking at the current situation, the Geo God seems to intend to protect the land of Liyue while fighting. Heh, perhaps he will fail miserably because of this unnecessary action?】

【Miss Xinyan: I thought this Mr. Lin De would say something nice for once; as expected, I shouldn't have had such thoughts.】

【Jing Yuan Li: The Lord will win!】

【Lin De: This is an objective fact before your eyes; whether you believe it or not is up to you, hehe.】

"Xiang Yanqing, let's leave this to Mr. Guest Zhongli."

"After all, this is their business."

Xiang Tuopa, seeing the resolve revealed in Guest Zhongli's eyes, suggested.

"But… he has to protect Liyue and fight that guy at the same time…"

Xiang Yanqing appeared somewhat hesitant.

It wasn't that he couldn't understand Guest Zhongli's desire to fight for Liyue personally.

If something similar happened on the Luofu Xianzhou, he might make the same decision as Guest Zhongli.

But Guest Zhongli had not obtained the Path for long, even if in the eyes of the people of Teyvat, he had already walked a considerable distance on the path of Preservation.

But to someone like Xiang Yanqing, who had walked on the Path long ago, Guest Zhongli's steps on the path of Preservation were not enough.

"Protecting Liyue is not just the Lord's business!"

Following a cold voice, the figure of Adeptus Li Shan Die appeared behind the crowd.

"You've come."

Guest Zhongli's gaze toward the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles remained unchanged as he said calmly.

"Yes, Lord." Adeptus Li Shan Die nodded slightly and said:

"Xiang Liuyun and Xiao have already handled their tasks and have gone to the designated places to provide power for the stone pillars."

"I, Adeptus Li Shan Die, and the other immortals, although we have not obtained the Path, are also willing to provide support for the stone pillars."

Guest Zhongli nodded slightly and said: "Mm, thank you all."

Adeptus Li Shan Die shook his head and said:

"Lord, you are too kind. Since we have made a contract to protect Liyue, we shall naturally forge ahead."

After speaking, Adeptus Li Shan Die glanced at the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles and flew outside Liyue City.

Xiang Yanqing watched this scene, felt the flow of energy within Liyue City once more, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Afterward, he silently put away the idea of fighting the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles on behalf of Guest Zhongli.

"So that's how it is, the immortals of Liyue all intend to participate."

"Miss Hu Tao, Qiqi, and the others have also gone to various parts of Liyue to provide the power to protect Liyue for the stone pillar barrier."

"At this time, there is indeed no reason for me to take action."

"Since that is the case, I will leave this to you, Mr. Guest Zhongli."

Xiang Yanqing sheathed his long sword and said.

Guest Zhongli: "Thank you for your understanding."

Xiang Yanqing smiled, stepped back a few paces with Xiang Tuopa, and returned to Luo Feng's side.

"Are you ready, Guest Zhongli?"

At this moment, the voice of the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles, who had been silent for a long time, came over.

"Mm, I am ready. Thank you for being willing to give us time to prepare."

Guest Zhongli nodded.

"I only wanted to give you time to turn back."

"As the oldest of the Seven Archons, I hold considerable expectations for you."

"But unfortunately, you seem to still intend to defy the Heavenly Principles."

Although the words of the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles were cold, they did indeed reveal a hint of regret.

"I only wish to fulfill my contract to protect Liyue."

Guest Zhongli's tone was firm, and he did not flinch in the face of the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles' warning.

"More words are useless."

"Since that is the case, you shall fall along with Liyue."

The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles shook her head in disappointment and waved her hands forward.

The next moment, countless cube-shaped energy streams rushed toward Guest Zhongli.

Guest Zhongli leaped into the air and flew toward the sky instantly.

Although he had already set up a barrier for Liyue,

if possible, he did not want to fight the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles too close to Liyue.

Not to mention fighting near Luo Feng, who was building a route between Liyue and the Luofu Xianzhou.

However, the black-red torrent unleashed by the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles was simply too fast.

Guest Zhongli had only flown a few dozen meters into the high sky when these black torrents caught up.
