Chapter 477: Sword Art Blocks the Adepti Between the Clouds, A Shocking Strike, The Furious Truth-Water Mountain-Stacking True Lord (

Young Master's face was wild with joy.

Truly, after searching everywhere in vain, it was found without any effort at all.

He had only just returned, yet the Adeptus had already arrived.

However, in Young Master's view, the efficiency of the Adepti from Jueyun Karst was a bit too slow.

After all, a full day and night had already passed.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

A sky-covering gale swept in from all directions, accompanied by a terrifying pressure that shattered the morning tranquility of Liyue Harbor.

From the distant horizon, a bottomless power, like an awakened behemoth, churned and surged toward this ancient city.

This pressure was vast and boundless, like a giant hand from another world, carrying the power to alter fate.

"What is happening!"

"Quick, look at the sky!"

People who had just risen and were walking the streets had no time to speak before feeling this terrifying pressure sweep over them, their faces instantly changing color.

Some noticed the sky immediately and cried out in horror.

Countless early risers instantly lifted their heads to gaze upward.

They saw the cloud layer within the sky violently torn apart; for a moment, even the sun's light seemed to dim slightly.

Residents across Liyue Harbor felt an invisible gravity pressing against their chests; their breathing grew rapid, their hearts pounded, as if the entire world trembled before this power.

One child after another clung tightly to their parents' clothing, while the elderly prayed for safety with trembling hands.

On the streets, livestock that were usually docile also sensed this terrifying pressure; they ran about in panic, and even the normally lazy cats pressed themselves flat against the ground, lowering their heads.

Fruit vendors' baskets in the market were overturned by an unknown force; fresh fruit rolled everywhere, yet no one cared to pick them up.

Every building in Liyue Harbor seemed to tremble slightly under this pressure, as if about to fail against the approaching storm.

Flocks of birds in the sky scattered in terror, fish leaped chaotically in the water, and trees on the earth emitted whimpering sounds, as if recounting the impending unease.

This pressure was not merely visible panic, but a tremor deep within the soul.

It carried no sound, yet it was more deafening than thunder.

Countless people of Liyue felt unprecedented dread in this sudden oppression, as if their lives had become tiny and fragile in this instant.

"Is... is an Adeptus descending?"

Someone stammered, gazing at the sky in horror: "What is the cause of this terrifying pressure?"

"Such an oppressive aura; an Adeptus descending would never release their breath so recklessly."

"Could it be regarding the matter of the Rex Lapis?"

"Hiss—"

One person after another cried out in shock, their faces pale with horror.

713 Just as everyone was crying out in alarm.

Above Qunyuge.

Having risen not long ago, Master Master Ningguang stood atop Qunyuge, gazing out over Liyue Harbor as she witnessed that sudden pressure.

Her expression turned Solemn in an instant; she knew well the terror of this power.

As expected, just as Lin Mo had sensed, the Adepti from Jueyun Karst had begun to reveal the edge of their power.

Without even appearing in person, they had cast a warning upon Liyue Harbor in this manner.

"We must prevent the Adepti's anger from spreading into Liyue Harbor."

Beside her, Lady Lady Keqing's voice rang out firm and clear through the morning air: "We absolutely cannot allow the enraged Adepti to enter Liyue Harbor."

"Otherwise, the consequences would be unthinkable; they have not even appeared yet, yet they are so recklessly using their aura to oppress Liyue—this is a warning shot to us."

"Activate the Zhen Fa."

Master Master Ningguang took a deep breath, her gaze resolute as she decided: "Just as Lin Mo said, regarding the Adepti's anger, we cannot dissuade them with words; we must stop them first."

The moment her words fell, Master Master Ningguang began to mobilize the power of Qunyuge.

Her hands traced complex Fu Zhou; Qunyuge seemed to sense her will and began shifting its position in the air, slowly moving toward the direction outside Liyue Harbor.

At the same time, strange lights began to flicker in the sky above Liyue Harbor.

This was the activation of Liyue Harbor's Zhen Fa; gentle yet powerful streams of energy converged from Qunyuge, forming a massive protective barrier that slowly unfolded, covering the entire city of Liyue.

The moment the Zhen Fa fully activated, that suffocating pressure began to weaken.

The residents of Liyue Harbor almost instantly felt the change; the gravity that had been pressing on their chests suddenly vanished, breathing became easy, and their heartbeats returned to a normal rhythm.

People on the streets began to look at one another, their eyes filled with relief and gratitude.

"Thank goodness, it's the Zhen Fa."

"That is... Master Master Ningguang's Qunyuge."

"Even Qunyuge has been deployed; oh my heavens, could it truly be an Adeptus who has come?"

"Has the Adeptus come to assign blame? Or..."

The next second, the people of Liyue Harbor all lifted their heads to gaze at the sky, witnessing the majestic silhouette of Qunyuge gradually revealing itself against the horizon.

In their eyes shone both the light of excitement and the weight of Solemn worry.

For they knew that the terrifying pressure which had nearly swept away the city's peace stemmed from the anger of Liyue's Adepti.

"The Liyue Liyue Qixing are truly disappointing."

The next second, a cold voice laden with fury rang out, sweeping over everything.

This icy voice, carrying irresistible rage, suddenly echoed through the clouds, vast and immense, as if a judgment from the heavenly realm, reaching every corner of Liyue Harbor.

It was not merely sound, but an invisible force that made all who heard it feel an involuntary tremor arise within their hearts.

The power contained within that voice caused the earth to tremble slightly; even Qunyuge, floating in the air, seemed to shudder from it.

Although the Zhen Fa withstood the direct pressure, this angry rebuke invisibly brought a deeper layer of panic to the people of Liyue.

They understood in their hearts that even if the Zhen Fa could block an adeptus's aura, it could not stop this kind of soul-striking reproach.

The crowds on the streets fell silent; the bustling noise of the market ceased abruptly, and even the sea breeze seemed to stagnate in that instant.

All gazes involuntarily focused on the source of that voice.

On Qunyuge, Master Master Ningguang and Lady Lady Keqing, hearing this angry voice, knitted their brows tightly.

As representatives of the Liyue Liyue Qixing, facing such direct accusation, they felt an even heavier burden of responsibility.

At this moment, they had not only to protect Liyue Harbor but also to face the dissatisfaction and anger of the Jueyun Karst adepti.

The people of Liyue relied on the power of the Liyue Qixing to live, and now, their fate seemed to hang by a thread.

The adeptus's angry rebuke was not merely disappointment in the Liyue Qixing, but also a warning to the entire city of Liyue.

Master Master Ningguang and Lady Lady Keqing exchanged a glance; they must take action immediately, lest this anger escalate into something more concrete and destructive.

"Is this the pressure of the Jueyun Karst adepti?"

Behind Qunyuge, Lin Mo, who had risen not long ago, watched the three streaks of light tearing through the sky nearby, his face filled with surprise.

Even atop Qunyuge, Lin Mo could feel the terrifying pressure emanating from the Jueyun Karst adepti.

Although Qunyuge had activated its Zhen Fa, the formation was directed to protect the city of Liyue below; the structure itself had not fully engaged its Zhen Fa.

However, the next second, the Hunt aura on Lin Mo's body fluctuated slightly, dismantling this sweeping pressure.

At this moment.

Three streaks of light tore through the firmament and landed nearby, their height level with Qunyuge.

Once the light solidified, three figures emerged.

A massive red-crowned crane, its feathers displaying a strange and mysterious luster.

Its plumage was predominantly a deep gray, while its wings were dotted with orange-red and gold like raging fire, appearing majestic and splendid.

A bright red crest adorned its head, noble as a crown, and those profound eyes seemed capable of discerning all truths in the world.
