Tianheng Mountain.

All the immortals gathered at the top of the mountain. With their immortal abilities, they could overlook the entire Liyue Harbor from here.

Since Ge Chenlangshi Zhenjun lived in Liyue Harbor, which was very close to Yujingtai, the immortals summoned her through voice transmission to confirm with her the assassination of the emperor.

"..."

In fact, Ge Chenlangshi Zhenjun was also informed in advance, which is why she watched silently without any reaction when the emperor fell even though she was the closest to him.

The difference between her and Xiao is that she doesn't know that the mortal named Zhongli is the Emperor, or she has never met him.

"Indeed it is."

Finally, Ge Chenlangshi Zhenjun had no choice but to nod in confirmation.

After getting confirmation from True Lord Ge Chen Lang Shi, all the immortals fell silent. Even with their great skills in cultivating their Qi, they all felt grief.

"I'm coming, I'm coming!"

At this moment, Nangong Ya carried the golden coffin from the Wangsheng Hall and trotted to the top of Tianheng Mountain, and carefully put the golden coffin down.

Just as the immortals were looking at the familiar golden coffin in confusion, Nangong Ya coughed twice to straighten her throat, crossed her fingers in front of her, and spoke seriously:

“We gather here today to commemorate our good companions.”

"His sacrifice is worthy of half a day of suspension of work for the entire Liyue to commemorate."

"..."

Listening to Nangong Ya's speech, the immortals looked at each other in confusion.

"Xiaoya, where did you learn this rhetoric? This is a serious occasion, don't force me to fan you with my wings."

Master Liuyun Jiefeng reminded Nangong Ya in a bad mood not to act like a demon.

"Ahem, Liuyun, wait for me to finish speaking."

"It is like this. Now that Morax has been assassinated, the Liyue immortals are leaderless."

"As the saying goes, a country cannot be without a ruler for a day. In order to avoid chaos in Liyue, I would like to take advantage of the moment when all the immortals gather together today to discuss with them who will inherit the throne of the Rock God."

Nangong Ya stated her plan in a serious tone, as if she was not joking.

elf:"……"

Ge Chenlangshi Zhenjun: "..."

"This... isn't good. Shouldn't we first find the murderer and comfort the Emperor's spirit in heaven?"

"It's true."

True Lord Xue Yue Zhu Yang could not help but open his mouth to remind him, which immediately aroused unanimous agreement from the other immortals.

"Then...why not before that, let me serve as the acting Rock God and be responsible for investigating the murderer? After all, I am the only Demon God left in Liyue."

Seeing that her plan was interrupted, Nangong Ya had to use the backup plan.

"..."

"You are really the one who won't assassinate the Emperor, right?"

Master Lishui Dieshan was silent for a moment, and couldn't help but express his guess.

After all, if there is a power in this world that can kill the emperor, the ability to turn a person into a harmless child is probably one of them.

And she seems so eager to become the God of Rock!

"???"

The immortals looked over when they heard this, which made Nangong Ya look confused.

"How could it be me? Besides, I have the power given by the Emperor to prove my innocence!"

"If you don't believe me, just look... Xiao, please poke me with your gun."

Nangong Ya hurriedly wanted to prove it, so she immediately went up to Xiao and said something to him.

"……it is good."

After a moment's silence, Xiao responded, took out the Hepu Yuan and stabbed towards Nangong Ya.

Then, the tip of the gun stayed steadily in front of Nangong Ya, and the strong wind blew Nangong Ya's hair.

"Huh? Where's my Jade Shield?"

"...Oh, yes, the Jade Shield has been broken by Apep!"

If the Yuzhang shield was not broken, Nangong Ya could repair it and use it infinitely, but it was shattered in an instant and she had no choice. She didn't know where to touch the rock elemental power.

"..."

Seeing the suspicious eyes of the immortals, Nangong Ya had no choice but to raise his hands in surrender awkwardly and confess the truth.

She just wanted to take this opportunity to experience what it was like to be the God of Rock...

……

"It seems that the immortals have taught you a lesson."

Looking at Nangong Ya coming back dejectedly carrying the golden coffin, Zhongli nodded thoughtfully.

"Tsk... I just want to be the acting Rock God, but no one agreed. They even gave me excuses like I don't even have the Rock attribute. Does being a Rock God require a Rock attribute?"

Putting the golden coffin back to the place where it was enshrined in the Hall of Rebirth, Nangong Ya folded her arms and said dissatisfiedly.

"..."

Zhongli remained silent, not knowing how to respond.

"By the way, where were you going just now?"

When Zhongli was silent, Nangong Ya couldn't help but ask. She wanted to confirm the progress of Ying and the others through Zhongli's situation.

"Well, I have a dinner party to attend."

"Dinner party? Then take me along!"

Hearing this, Nangong Ya's eyes lit up, knowing that this was the first time he and Ying met them.

"Yes, but remember not to talk too much."

Zhongli did not refuse Nangong Ya, but still reminded her.

"Don't worry, I'm keeping my mouth shut."

Nangong Ya patted her chest and promised, then excitedly followed Zhongli out of the Wangsheng Hall and headed for the Liuli Pavilion.

"Welcome, welcome, Mr. Zhongli, this is... Eh?"

Tartaglia, who was waiting at the entrance of Liuli Pavilion, welcomed Zhongli warmly, but was stunned when he saw Nangong Ya beside him.

"This is the child adopted by our hall master. I brought her here to see the world."

Zhongli took Nangong Ya's hand and explained this to Tartaglia.

"Haha, well, I didn't expect you two knew each other. Please come in, the travelers should be here soon."

With the welcome from Tartaglia, Zhongli and Nangong Ya entered the reserved box in the Glazed Pavilion first.

Looking at the table full of delicacies, Nangong Ya couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks to taste them, but Zhongli tapped the back of her hand and the chopsticks fell back to their original place.

"How can you pick up your chopsticks when the guests are not all here and the host is not seated?"

After verbally reminding Nangong Ya, Zhongli poured her a cup of hot tea while she looked depressed.

"You're still drinking tea, or you'll starve to death..."

Nangong Ya muttered quietly, but she could only drink tea to quench her thirst.

However, the two did not have to wait long before Tartaglia brought Ying and Paimon into the box.

"Let me introduce you. This friend is a Taoist priest and a guest of the Wangsheng Hall, Mr. Zhongli."

Tartaglia took the two of them to sit down, and before they could wait to wonder why Nangong Ya was there, Tartaglia introduced Zhongli to them.

"A person on the road?"

The strange name attracted the attention of both of them.

"Yes, a business like Wangsheng Hall is bound to be exposed to some underworld business."

"And we Fatui always like to deal with these friends who walk in the shadows."

Tartaglia nodded and continued to explain.

"Someone in the underworld... shadows... sending people to the afterlife... is that possible?"

These key words combined together scared Paimon so much that he hid behind Ying's head in panic.

"good."

"This one is the number one killer in our Wangsheng Hall. He is known as the number one killer in the world... Ouch!"

Nangong Ya was making trouble, and Zhongli raised his hand and hit her on the head in annoyance. The pain made her cover her head and lie on the table in grievance.

"Don't listen to her nonsense. The Hall of the Dead is an organization that manages funerals. Its purpose is to help people pass away peacefully."

After interrupting Nangong Ya's nonsense, Zhongli explained to Ying and the others.
