"My lord, before this, Lord Tianquan had already prepared most of the work to isolate the ley lines."
"Ready?" Ye Lan felt something was off, as if Ning Guang knew that something would go wrong in the Layered Rock Abyss.
Looking down at the black silt beside me, I saw it still bubbling up from the ground, with several silt deposits around it reaching half a person's height.
If it weren't for the power of the Lumenite, the mud on the ground would have completely submerged Yelan's ankles.
The situation didn't allow Ye Lan time to think things through. Looking at the black silt spreading around her, she asked, "Has everyone in the mining area been completely evacuated?"
"With the help of travelers, the evacuation was completed just minutes ago."
At this point, Qianyan Jun hesitated, "However..."
Ye Lan glanced at the hesitant Qian Yanjun, who, startled by Ye Lan's gaze, blurted out the rest of his sentence: "I didn't see the Hall Master of the Hall of Rebirth at the mine's exit."
As the voice faded, what appeared before Ye Lan was not the figure of the girl.
The boy looked at him, his familiar face showing an unfamiliar indifference. Then the head of the Hall of Rebirth appeared from behind him, wrapped his arms around the boy's neck, and gave him a triumphant smile.
Ye Lan snapped out of her hallucination and calmed her shock.
Strange, why would I be scared by this thing?
"You all go out. I'm more familiar with the Abyss of Layered Rocks than you are. I'll find Hall Master Hu myself," Ye Lan said.
Just then, a loud rumbling sound came from afar, as if something was attacking.
The sound made everyone around tense, thinking that something had happened in the mining area again.
The next second, a blue halo spread out, carrying an overwhelming momentum, and quickly passed in front of everyone.
Something?
Everyone touched their entire bodies with both hands and found that they were not missing any limbs. On the contrary, the black silt around them had completely disappeared.
This year's ritual to invite the immortals made most people think that the Emperor had died, but those around him still silently prayed for the protection of the Rock King Emperor.
With the disappearance of the silt, Yelan also gave up her plan to venture deeper into the mining area.
Clearly, the mining area now appears to have recovered.
"Go back first."
Ye Lan's words cheered everyone up, since no one wanted to stay in this dark and gloomy place.
However, following Ye Lan's gaze, several of the men who were grinning suddenly froze.
"You guys stay here and guard the mining area. Let me know when Master Hu returns."
Ye Lan seemed to have thought of something and added, "Oh, right, remember to keep an eye out for a child next to the hall master."
"Regarding the blue halo, you should compile the information yourselves and submit it to Tianquan Star."
"I have some things to take care of and need to get back to Liyue Harbor right away. You can handle the rest yourselves."
Ye Lan walked away quickly, seemingly not wanting to pay attention to anyone else.
Ever since she met that boy, memories of Mu Xian have become more and more frequent in her mind, and she has even experienced many hallucinations.
Memories give rise to feelings, feelings that Ye Lan doesn't know what they are, yet urge her to hurry and see the boy from her past.
"No, he shouldn't be a teenager anymore."
Ye Lan walked out of the mining area with a gentle smile. The long-awaited sunlight cast a shadow in front of her. Ye Lan looked ahead, gazing at the scene on the other side of Yunlaihai.
Chapter 21 This one possesses both intelligence and beauty...
Carrying walnuts, they climbed from the depths of the mine to the shallows, and then left the mine from the shallows.
Even with a body that was much better than before, Mu Xian was still a little tired, so he changed from holding Hu Tao to carrying her on his back.
Even though they were still some distance from the mining area, Mu Xian could already see the sunlight streaming in from outside.
The sunlight was warm and yellow, and the temperature didn't feel harsh; it seemed like the sun was about to set.
The forearms wrapped around her neck tightened, and she could faintly hear soft, pained murmurs.
Mu Xian quickened his pace and walked out of the mining area.
At the mine exit, a group of Qianyan soldiers stood in twos and threes, surrounding another person.
Mu Xian glanced over and saw that the person surrounded was the traveler named Kong. He could also faintly hear Qian Yanjun praising the boy.
"If it weren't for the traveler's help, we would probably have been busy with the mining area for a while longer."
"That's right. If the travelers hadn't been evacuated in time, we probably would have suffered some casualties."
...
As Mu Xian passed by, he inevitably heard these sounds.
Although these compliments had nothing to do with him, they always gave Mu Xian a strange feeling.
This strange feeling made Mu Xian turn to look at the famous traveler, who simply scratched the back of his head, seemingly a little embarrassed.
Mu Xian had observed this so-called traveler many times, and he couldn't understand why this guy was so likable no matter what he did.
Completely opposite to myself.
With his thoughts scattered, Mu Xian chose to continue leaving the Layered Rock Abyss, but a voice that followed made him move slower and slower.
"The traveler is indeed a traveler. He has such abilities at such a young age, unlike that girl who is still hiding in the mining area."
"Despite having such an unlucky identity, he still likes to wander around and spread his bad luck to other people."
"So young and already holding the title of hall master, what if he acts so outrageously at someone's funeral and ruins the ceremony, making it impossible for the deceased to rest in peace?"
The harsh words silenced the surroundings, and everyone's gaze fell on a man holding a spear, his lips pursed, their expressions inscrutable.
Kong composed himself and looked at the man with some curiosity.
"Hey! How can you talk like that?"
Paimon, floating in the air, stomped his foot, his previous happy expression completely gone: "Hu Tao is a very good person."
Emergency food has a limited vocabulary, and its thin sentences have no deterrent effect whatsoever.
"Very good? Pfft!"
The man chuckled, looking more like a sleazy group of thieves: "Who doesn't know what she's like? It's one thing in the past, but she still went into the Abyss of Layered Rocks when it was on the verge of collapse, leaving us here waiting for her."
"Who knows, she might be the one causing all the commotion in the mining area. This jinx is trying to kill us."
The increasingly slow pace finally came to a stop, and Mu Xian looked at Hu Tao behind him.
Dark purple veins ran down her neck, covering half of Hu Tao's face. The girl had her eyes closed, and although she occasionally mumbled something, her sleeping face was surprisingly serene.
She was asleep and didn't hear what the man said.
However, Mu Xian heard this, so he walked up to the man.
Staring intently at the man, she asked, "Qianyan Army?"
Mu Xian's eyes remained calm, but the questioning tone made the man somewhat intimidated.
Just as the man was about to back down, he saw Hu Tao behind Mu Xian.
"That's right!"
His fear vanished, and the man, his neck stiff, forced himself to say, "What, am I saying something wrong...?"
A flash of cold light disappeared in an instant, and a section of the spearhead fell down. The long spear that the man was holding had somehow become shorter.
The sound of the gun barrel hitting the ground abruptly interrupted his words. Looking at the pale-faced man in front of him, Mu Xian shook his head.
"I really don't know how that woman could have such bad taste, letting someone like that become a member of the Thousand Rock Army."
As he spoke, the man tossed the sword in his hand to Kong, who was standing to the side.
He caught the one-handed sword in mid-air, and his bewildered expression made Mu Xian feel disdain.
"This is your weapon."
It wasn't until Mu Xian spoke that Kong realized that Mu Xian had taken it away without him noticing.
The bewildered gaze turned to surprise, and the blond boy looked up at Mu Xian with shining eyes.
"Can you become my partner?"
Strange words came out of Kong's mouth, but Mu Xian chose to ignore the boy.
Just as I was about to turn my head, I caught a glimpse of something familiar hanging on my chest out of the corner of my eye.
"This is..."
"What about this?"
Seemingly noticing Mu Xian's gaze, Kong placed the pink amulet in his arms on his head.
Before Mu Xian could figure out the boy's intention, Kong said in a smug and amused tone.
"This was a gift from the wise and beautiful Lady Yae!!!"
A flash of dim light appeared in Mu Xian's eyes, and a sudden chill ran through his chest.
"Remember to keep it safe; it might save your life."
Mu Xian withdrew his gaze, his tone growing increasingly cold, and turned to leave.
"correct!"
Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Mu Xian suddenly turned to look at the man from before: "You can say whatever you want, but the Hall of Rebirth can also refuse to do business with you."
"Remember, you mustn't die, or your body might just be rolled up in a mat and thrown to the wolves."
The voice faded away as the figure walked away, and everyone finally snapped out of their daze and looked at the man not far away.
"What catches your eyes."
The man seemed to be getting a little impatient with being stared at. He turned his head away and said sarcastically, "We're all from the Thousand Rock Army, after all. I'm being bullied like this, and you just watch me suffer without offering any help."
The crowd twitched their lips and took a step back, distancing themselves from the man.
...
Mu Xian carried the walnuts for a short while before he saw a figure.
