The Lost People of Teyvat

Chapter 179 Five Water Snakes
When Osel broke the seal and came out, several immortals who were practicing in seclusion in Jueyunjian suddenly woke up, some spread their wings and flew high, some walked in the air, and turned into rainbow lights, quickly flying towards Liyue Harbor.

But the next moment, the rainbow light suddenly stopped, and the immortals showed up with puzzled looks on their faces.

An ancient enemy has revived, Liyue Harbor is in danger, and the Emperor... tells them to stop and not get involved?
"Emperor... why?"

The young immortal who rushed all the way from Wangshu Inn to Tianheng Mountain pursed his lips, tightly gripped his spear, and looked up at somewhere.

A gentle voice seemed to be heard in the air, answering the young immortal's doubts.

"I understand, but... I'm worried."

Xiao took a deep breath and looked towards Liyue Harbor. He could vaguely see the ancient demon god wreaking havoc in the sea. "Emperor, I want to stay here... This place is only one mountain away from Liyue Harbor. If anything goes wrong, I can defend Liyue to the death and buy time for you and the other immortals."

The gentle voice in the air seemed to be sighing helplessly, but also seemed to be somewhat relieved.

"Thank you, Emperor, for your help!"

Xiao saluted while holding his gun, looking into the distance, staring at the demon god that was getting closer and closer to Liyue Harbor.

……

"How's it going?"

"It happened suddenly, and the demons came too fast. We only have conventional weapons at the moment. It will take at least a quarter of an hour to activate those demon-level war machines!"

"Too slow! Don't worry about the loss of the first batch of war weapons, activate them in the fastest way possible!"

"Yes! Lord Tianquan!"

Ningguang looked at Osel, who had a cruel and sarcastic look in his eyes and didn't care about the attack of the light arrows from the Jade Pavilion at all. She saw him open his ferocious mouth, and a horrifying beam of light slammed heavily into the barrier of the Jade Pavilion, causing ripples to appear on the entire barrier, which kept flickering as if it would go out in the next moment.

"Damn it!"

When the Qun Yu Pavilion was first built, the intended construction direction was not to build a floating battleship!

"How long can the barrier of the Qun Yu Pavilion last?"

Ningguang had a solemn expression on her face as she looked at Osel, who was more teasing the Jade Pavilion than fighting. There was no emotion in her eyes, let alone anger.

Let’s play around. It’s better to waste more time so that more people in Liyue Harbor can survive.

"With the current intensity of the attack, the barrier of the Jade Pavilion will be completely destroyed in ten minutes at most!"

"Ten minutes? That's enough!"

Ningguang looked back at the magnificent palace on the Jade Pavilion, her beautiful eyes filled with reluctance. The Jade Pavilion was built by her bit by bit. At first, it was only the size of a room, and some people even laughed at it as a "broken wooden house floating in the air." It can be said that every brick and tile of the Jade Pavilion embodies her hard work.

But no matter how precious and important the Qun Yu Pavilion is, it cannot compare to Liyue and the people of Liyue!

The Jade Pavilion can be rebuilt if it is destroyed, but if Liyue Harbor, or even the entire Liyue, is destroyed, she, a Seven Star, will be a homeless poor person!
Ningguang closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and exhaled slowly. When she opened her eyes again, they were full of determination.

"Have everyone ready. Thirty seconds before the barrier is broken, launch the Jade Pavilion at maximum power..."

Ningguang stared at the demon god that looked like a five-headed water snake with a cold gaze, and said in a resolute tone: "Then turn off the power system and let the Qun Yu Pavilion smash this disgusting water snake to death!"

"Lord Tianquan..."

The people around were startled, and their struggling expressions seemed even more reluctant than Ningguang, but they did not say anything to persuade her, and just worked harder to complete their tasks.

Bai Shi gritted her teeth, lifted her skirt, and ran to convey Ningguang's order.

She looked back at Ningguang standing on the deck. Her back was so beautiful and yet so lonely.

Lord Rock King, where are you?

Lady Ningguang cannot live without the Jade Pavilion... No matter who it is, please come and help her...

Bai Shi wiped her tears and ran around the corner, but almost collided with someone.

“Ouch!” “Be careful. The more critical the moment, the more you should stay calm. Ningguang should have taught you that.”

Keqing frowned and reached out to grab Bai Shi's arm, preventing her from falling.

"Ah, Lord Yuheng! And Senior Ganyu!"

Bai Shi hurriedly saluted.

"Is Tianquan in front?"

Keqing let go of her hand, and was about to move forward when Bai Shi nodded. Suddenly, she remembered something and turned to look at Bai Shi with a firm and confident expression: "Liyue has experienced countless storms, big and small, over the past thousand years. Don't worry, a Whirlpool Demon God can't defeat us!"

After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked towards the deck of the Jade Pavilion without stopping. Her purple twin ponytails swayed, and she was as resolute as ever, yet so reassuring.

Bai Shi stared at Keqing's back, his eyes turning redder.

"Yuheng is right. Liyue will not be defeated so easily."

Ganyu picked up the items dropped by Bai Shi, put them in her hands, and gently patted her palms with a gentle and healing smile.

"Yeah! I know! I know!"

Bai Shi nodded vigorously.

"Then go and do your job, Miss Baishi."

"Ok!"

Ganyu watched Bai Shi trot away, then turned and walked towards the deck, her lips tightly pursed and her expression serious.

Such a major event happened in Liyue Harbor, but the Geo King did not show up, and the immortals were nowhere to be found... Did something happen over there?
...

...

"Why haven't you left yet?"

Ningguang glanced at Keqing and Ganyu, with a barely perceptible smile in her beautiful eyes.

"I'm here to watch you, so you don't do anything stupid."

Keqing crossed her arms and looked into Ningguang's beautiful red eyes: "Are you going to give up the Jade Pavilion?"

"Yes, but this is not a stupid thing. It is a necessary sacrifice."

Ningguang chuckled softly, then remained silent for a few seconds before turning her gaze to Ganyu: "Do we have any reinforcements?"

"..."

Ganyu understood what Ningguang was talking about. Because she understood, she became more depressed and worried. She shook her head and said, "I can't contact the immortals."

"Is that so? Ha, as expected." Ningguang narrowed her eyes slightly, as if she had expected it.

“What do you mean?” Keqing frowned.

"As early as half a year ago, I predicted that Liyue would face a storm, and I also speculated that this storm would involve the emperor and all the immortals. What we are seeing now may be the remaining aftermath of the storm after the emperor tried his best to stop it."

Ningguang paused, half blaming herself and half sighing, "But I didn't expect that the remnant of the storm would come so suddenly and with such... amazing power."

If she had been more prepared, had manufactured more demon-level war weapons, or had simply proposed rebuilding the Thousand Rocks Army, then even if the Fatui suddenly attacked or Osel suddenly attacked, Liyue's initial response would not have been so tense and stretched.

"You've done a great job."

Keqing clenched her hand lightly, and a sharp blade with ornate carvings and tiny lightning flashes appeared in her hand. She swung it lightly, and a sound like a dragon's roar broke through the air: "The rest..."

"Leave the rest to me."
