A few days had passed since the festival, and it was time to take the "next step" as agreed with Kamisato Ayaka and Thomas.

"Whaaaaa?! Xiaoya, are you going to scare Paimon to death?!"

Early in the morning, Paimeng, who came out of the Chen Ge Pot, bumped into Nangong Ya, who was squatting beside the Chen Ge Pot waiting. Paimeng was so scared that he almost exploded.

After Paimeng, Ying also turned into a wisp of smoke and spewed out from the spout of the Chen Ge pot, landing beside Nangong Ya.

"Well, it's time to see Thomas off today. Let's go."

Nangong Ya spread her hands. She had already reminded Thomas last time and wondered if he had understood it.

But she felt that it was okay not to understand, as this was a good opportunity for Ying to enter the Pure Land of One Mind for the first time.

"See you off? Is Thomas going anywhere?"

Seeing Ying put away the Chen Ge pot, Paimeng asked in confusion.

"Who knows? Anyway, let's go to the Mulou Teahouse first."

Nangong Ya spread her hands. She usually wouldn’t directly spoil what would happen in the future. Otherwise, Master Xueyue Zhuyang wouldn’t be the only one among the Liyue Immortals who firmly believed that Nangong Ya could predict the future.

"Okay, let's go."

Paimon nodded, and then everyone bought a simple breakfast at the nearby shop. After filling their stomachs, they rushed to the Mulou Tea House.

"Strange, why is it so quiet today? It's completely different from usual."

Entering the Mulou Teahouse, Paimeng looked around with some confusion and found that there was no one inside.

"Wang Wang!"

Only the dog named Taromaru at the front desk barked a few times at Paimon and the others, seeming a little anxious, but no one could understand what it meant.

"Thoma! Thomas are you there!"

Since he didn't see anyone, Paimon had to shout Thomas's voice inside.

"Wang Wang!"

Taromaru became a little impatient when he didn't get a response. It was obvious that he knew what was going on.

"Ying, Xiaoya, Paimeng, have you seen Thomas?"

At this moment, Kamisato Ayaka pushed open the door of the Mulou Tea House anxiously, and immediately asked after seeing Nangong Ya and the others.

Because of what they did together on the day of the festival, Kamisato Ayaka no longer calls Ying "Traveler", but calls her by her name directly.

"No, we thought she hadn't arrived yet with you."

Paimon turned around and explained to Kamisato Ayaka.

"Oh no... On my way here, I heard that Thomas was captured by the Tenryo Bugyo."

Kamisato Ayaka realized the seriousness of the problem and immediately told everyone what she had heard.

Hearing this, Ying and Paimeng immediately turned around to look at Nangong Ya and found her with her hands spread out with an innocent look on her face.

"If Thomas didn't show up here as agreed, it means the rumors I heard are most likely true."

"General Raiden will hold the 'Eye Hunting Ceremony' for the 100th Eye of God in front of the Thousand-armed Hundred-eyed Statue."

Kamisato Ayaka continued to explain in detail the rumors she had heard.

"Ritual? Could it be that the ritual that Thomas mentioned last time, prepared by Tianling Fengxing, was prepared just for him?"

Paimon immediately recalled the news he heard from Thomas after rescuing Master Masakatsu last time.

"That should be the case... The general and the people of Tianling are going to use the "Eye Hunting Ceremony" of the 100th Eye of God to prove the interim results of the Eye Hunting Order."

"No, we must save him!"

In order to ensure Thomas' safety, Kamisato Ayaka had to make this decision.

Normally, the Eye Hunting Order would not confiscate the Eyes of God under the three great executors, but if the Eyes of God have not been confiscated for a period of time, they would try to confiscate them for the sake of "performance". Among the three people who had lost the Eyes of God that Ying had seen before, one of them was an executor of the Eye Hunting Order, but his Eye of God was confiscated as a result.

But Kamisato Ayaka didn't expect that it would be Thomas' turn...

"Calm down. You represent the Society."

Ying immediately grabbed Kamisato Ayaka's hand.

If she rushed over, it would be a blatant defiance of General Lei Dian's will, which would be tantamount to rebellion.

"Yes, yes. If we openly resist General Raiden, the ordinary people like the Society Commissioners will also be implicated."

Paimon also hurriedly persuaded Kamisato Ayaka.

"There's nothing I can do about it. Time is running out and I can't just give up on Thomas."

"He is my friend. We were together not long ago..."

"It's okay, he's my friend too, I'll go save him."

Just as Kamisato Ayaka was hesitating, Ying interrupted her.

"But……"

Kamisato Ayaka is a little worried that Ying will be in danger when she goes to rescue people.

"You just said that time is running out."

Ying interrupted Kamisato Ayaka again, waved to Paimon and walked outside.

"...Well, I'll wait for you to come back safely, please be careful."

Kamisato Ayaka had no choice but to stay where she was and watch Ying and the others go away.

"I'll go over to join in the fun, too. Don't worry too much."

Nangong Ya patted Kamisato Ayaka's shoulder, then followed Ying and Paimon.

In front of the Thousand-armed and Hundred-eyed statue, under the gaze of the Inazuma people, the "Eye Hunting Ceremony" is about to begin.

Thomas knelt on the execution platform with his hands tied behind his back, waiting for General Thunder to take away his Eye of God and embed it on the Thousand-Armed and Hundred-Eyed Statue.

General Lei Dian stood in front of the Thousand-Armed and Hundred-Eyed God Statue, looked up at the Eye of God embedded in the wings of the Thousand-Armed and Hundred-Eyed God Statue, then turned around and raised his hand towards Thomas who was kneeling on the ground, and the purple triple thunder pattern appeared in front of his palm.

The next moment, the fire-attributed divine eye on Thomas' waist trembled, then broke away from Thomas and flew towards General Thunder.

Thomas wanted to stand up to keep his Eye of God, but was controlled by two soldiers from the Tianling Bugxing nearby.

Seeing that the Eye of God was about to fall into the hands of General Lei Dian, Ying, who had hurried over, immediately jumped out of the crowd and, with the help of the power of the lightning element, grabbed Thomas's Eye of God in a flash.

"Thoma!"

Nangong Ya’s voice rang out among the crowd.

"Ok?"

Thomas subconsciously looked back, but because of this doubtful nasal sound, he turned into a wisp of smoke in the blink of an eye and drilled into the Chen Ge gourd in Nangong Ya's hand.

"Paimon, take the gourd and run first."

Nangong Ya stuffed the Chen Ge gourd into Paimeng’s hands, then ran towards Ying who was facing General Lei Dian.

"You don't need the Eye of God to drive the elemental force..."

"You are an exception, and exceptions are eternal enemies."

General Lei Dian slowly stepped down from the Thousand-Armed and Hundred-Eyed Statue and came in front of Ying.

She glanced at Nangong Ya who was running behind Ying, but didn't care. Her only target was Ying.

As General Lei Dian raised his hand, the Eye of Evil opened above her head and a Wheel of Wishes with a Hundred Eyes appeared behind her. The powerful lightning element spread in all directions, and Ying had to take out her edgeless sword to resist.

Then, a knife handle slowly emerged from General Lei Dian's chest. General Lei Dian held the knife handle with one hand and slowly pulled the knife named "Dream of One Heart" out of his chest.

"Oh oh, here it comes!"

Running to Ying's side, Nangong Ya was not nervous at all. Instead, she looked at General Lei Dian's famous skill "Drawing the Sword from the Chest" with anticipation.

"I will build you into a statue of God."

General Lei Dian waved the Dream One Heart in his hand as he spoke, and the purple space behind him shattered and spread towards Ying, trying to pull her into the One Heart Pure Land.

"?"

Nangong Ya discovered that there was a force that was repelling her, and it was obvious that it didn't want her to enter the Pure Land of One Mind.

But Nangong Yake was unwilling to do so, and quickly grabbed Ying's hand tightly, and was pulled into the pure land with her.
