Genshin Impact: A Traveler with Only Two Skills

The most senior of the twenty-three criminals is Shen Qing.

There were forty-four sinners who came to the snowfield in the beginning. After many years, there are still forty-four sinners left in the snowfield, but some of them are still with him, while others have become rebels.

The disobedient ones were also their companions, but they eventually parted ways with them because of their different ideologies. They believed that they should not be punished, nor should they be trapped in the snowfield. They believed that the attitude of the Ancient Sage Tianhuang towards the celestial being foreshadowed some unknown conspiracy, so they kept looking for ways to escape from this cage.

In order to escape from the snowfield, they would even take the initiative to find the sacred beasts, even when they had lost all their magic power and the snow and wind were at their peak. Shen Qing had seen the disobedient people challenging the sacred beasts alone more than once, but he was worried that the sacred beasts would find him, so he fled from there as soon as possible every time.

However, even so, the rebels did not lose even one of their companions, and the number of rebels remained at twenty-one.

Shen Qing believed that this was a test from the ancient saint of Tianhuang. The ruler of the Great Wilderness had never thought of destroying sinners like them, nor had he ever deprived them of the hope of returning to the Great Wilderness. He firmly believed this, and he also believed that those companions who had become rebellious would return to his side.

What he believed most was that the Ancient Sage Tianhuang was always watching him, so he remained loyal to the Ancient Sage Tianhuang at all times, hoping that that great being could forgive his sins as soon as possible.

But some recent changes in the snowfield have made him feel mixed emotions.

First of all, Gu Tianhan appeared. This mysterious monk had been with them for quite some time. He claimed to be a sinner who had been exiled to the snowfield long ago. Due to the obstacles of wind, snow and fantasy beasts, Shen Qing and his companions did not dare to say that they had stepped on every inch of the snowfield, but they also believed that they had mastered the clearing of most of the snowfield. So he concluded that Gu Tianhan was a latecomer and came to the snowfield after they were exiled.

But even if Gu Tianhan did not lie, he was not one of the twenty-three people, and Shen Qing could not guarantee that he had the same idea as himself.

"If Gu Tianhan has the same idea as the disobedient ones, and if the Ancient Sage Tianhuang sees him joining us, wouldn't all our efforts over the years be wasted?" Shen Qing was a little uneasy, but it was not easy to directly refuse Gu Tianhan's joining. Gu Tianhan still had plenty of magic power, which was exactly what they needed.

Gradually, the powerful Gu Tianhan gained a firm foothold among the twenty-three of them and was called Big Brother Gu by many of his companions. Shen Qing's daughter Shen Xichen also called Gu Tianhan that way, and his own prestige dropped a lot.

No, ever since I used up all my magical powers, my prestige has begun to decline.

"No, it could also be when the disobedients disagree." Shen Qing would ask himself this question from time to time, but he could never get an answer. Every time at the end, he would think, "I remember, I was originally their leader."

This time, he saw the disobedient again, and this thought once again appeared in his mind. His vision blurred for a moment, and then he thought: "Why are they in Lonely Mountain? There is nothing here at all."

However, before he could think about it, the rebels roared in anger.

The difference of opinion had existed for too long, so long that these sinners and disobedients had gone from relying on each other to hating each other. Now that they saw each other, there were no sacred beasts around, and there was no wind or snow, so their eyes turned red.

"kill!"

I don’t know who shouted first, was it the voice of the disobedient person or his own voice? Shen Qing didn’t know. When he heard the voice, he took two steps back and watched his companions rush forward.

He had no magic power left and his body was weak, so if he followed them he would only be a burden. Fortunately, the rebels had consumed more magic power. When they just started fighting, Shen Qing noticed that there were only three rebels who could cast spells this time.

The battle was almost one-sided. Only three people who could use their magic power were no match for them. However, Shen Qing was also worried that if he pushed them into a corner, they would do something unpredictable.

"Hold steady first!" Shen Qing shouted from behind, "Save your mana and wait for Gu Tianhan to come before dealing with them."

Gu Tianhan had enough magic power to allow him to make several more moves, but the rebels were not fools. Seeing that they could not resist, they quickly dispersed and fled towards the top of Lonely Mountain. They could go around to the bottom of the mountain from the other side of the top. It was unknown how long these rebels had stayed in Lonely Mountain. There were also many arrangements on the mountain, which blocked the criminals' steps for a while.

It seems that those who shouted "kill" were not the disobedient ones, but the sinners.

"Brother Gu!" Just when Shen Qing thought that the disobedient person was going to escape again, Gu Tianhan appeared. He hurried over with Ying, but slowed down when he saw the scene in front of him.

"Fellow Daoist Gu, please lend us a hand and stop those rebellious people!" Shen Qing shouted hurriedly, but Gu Tianhan stopped completely.

"If the disobedients want to harm you, I will definitely take action, but I can't help you kill them," Gu Tianhan shook his head. There was almost no arrogance in his tone when he spoke to the criminals. "After all, you are from the same sect. If I really take action, you will resent me sooner or later."

Shen Qing frowned, but it was not easy to refute. At this time, even if he used his status as the sect leader to punish those who disobeyed, there would probably not be many people who would respond, and he couldn't make up his mind.

Finally, the rebels managed to escape. They went around to the back of Lonely Mountain. Although there were more sinners who could cast spells, the rebels had the advantage of terrain. Not long after, they disappeared without a single person left.

"We didn't catch anyone?!" Shen Qing looked unhappy. "If they escaped, we wouldn't be able to stay in this lonely mountain."

The others were also a little worried. They were no match for the disobedient person in a head-on confrontation, but they would also be in trouble if the other party used some means in secret. Now that the other party knew they were in Lonely Mountain, staying here would only cause trouble.

"Are we going to the cold cave?" Shen Xichen tightened her clothes, as if mentioning that place would make her feel cold.

"There is no other way. Damn it, how is it possible that we didn't catch anyone?" The monk who used the flying sword cursed. He had more magic power reserved and was the first to be hit when encountering the disobedient people. However, he was also the most trapped and it was difficult for him to use his magic power. He couldn't help but feel aggrieved.

Shen Qing muttered to himself: "If Gu Tianhan is willing to take action..."

However, things had developed to this point, and everyone had no choice but to move forward towards the cold cave. On the way, they suddenly encountered three holy beasts. In order to avoid being entangled by the holy beasts, they chose to act separately. Gu Tianhan had sufficient magic power and brought many people with him, and soon attracted the attention of the holy beasts. Gu Tianhan let everyone go first, and he stayed behind to lure away the three holy beasts.

This was not difficult for him. He could return to the Great Wilderness to restore his magic power at any time. His strength at this moment was still top-notch in the Earthly Immortal Realm, and the three sacred beasts could be destroyed in the blink of an eye.

But he deliberately delayed for a while, and waited until there was no one around before he dealt with the holy beast. Then he opened a void passage and stepped in.

When the surrounding scene returned to stability, Gu Tianhan appeared in front of the group of disobedient people. The disobedient people who had just been beaten away were obviously still a little nervous, but they were relieved when they saw that it was Gu Tianhan.

"Brother Gu." The leader saluted Gu Tianhan with a fist, and seemed to be familiar with Gu Tianhan.

Gu Tianhan smiled and returned the greeting. He looked at the other rebels. There were originally 21 people, but now there were only 10 of them. The others were dispersed by the criminals and have not been found yet. He was silent for a moment, then said: "Pingyang, do you still want to go against your own leader? Judging from the current situation, you can't beat him. You can get away with it once, but you can't be so lucky every time."

"It's all that guy's fault!" Pingyang cursed indignantly, cursing Shen Qing, "Ancient Saint Tianhuang, that guy just wants to monopolize the Great Wilderness. The Celestial Immortal is the end point of all cultivators' cultivation, but apart from the Celestial Immortal he cultivated, he doesn't allow other Celestial Immortals to appear. Even if we just wanted to cooperate with that Celestial Immortal, he exiled us to this godforsaken place."

After cursing, Pingyang was a little discouraged again: "It's a pity that Sect Master Shen is done for. The other twenty or so fellow disciples are still stubborn. We blindly show loyalty to the Ancient Saint of Tianhuang, but in the end we will only be dogs under his command. He has been watching us, but he will never let us return to the Great Wilderness. Only by using the connection between the Holy Beast and him is our only chance to return to the Great Wilderness."

"Brother Gu, what's going on with the thing you talked about last time?" Pingyang looked at Gu Tianhan, his eyes full of expectation.

Gu Tianhan did not reply immediately. He smiled, a bright smile that hid his unparalleled arrogance.
