Genshin Impact: A Traveler with Only Two Skills

Pingyang believes in Gu Tianhan, not because he trusts this person, but because he believes in his own vision. Gu Tianhan is an ambitious man. He has desires and obsessions, so it is easier to see through his thoughts. He thinks he is good at judging people and has enough courage, otherwise he would not break with his sect master in this environment and break into the vast snowfield with his fellow disciples who trust him.

But today, he plans to betray those who trusted him for the secrets he holds.

That was when Pingyang had just arrived in the Snow Plain. He was the eldest disciple of the sect, with a high level of cultivation, even not inferior to the sect master Shen Qing. In addition, he was decisive and resolute in his actions, but very gentle in his dealings with others. Many disciples in the sect respected him from the bottom of their hearts. Even Shen Qing's daughter Shen Xichen had to respectfully call him senior brother.

After being exiled to the snowfield, the forty-four of their fellow disciples, the forty-four who had requested the Ancient Sage Tianhuang to cooperate with the Celestial Immortals, all felt that their future was bleak, and many even wanted to die.

Yes, after being exiled by the Ancient Saint Tianhuang, they probably wouldn’t be able to return to their original status even if they went back. Even if they really went back, they would probably still be sinners in the eyes of the world.

The saddest person at that time was Sect Master Shen Qing. He was the leader of a sect, but he suffered such a disaster. His position as sect master was taken away by others. He worked hard for many years, but in the end he got such an ending. Even his daughter was sacrificed.

Perhaps it is for this reason that obtaining the forgiveness of the Ancient Sage Tianhuang has become his greatest obsession until now. But Pingyang is different. The attitude of the Ancient Sage Tianhuang makes him feel puzzled, and the difficult environment does not wear down his spirit. Instead, it makes him feel more resentful. However, Ye Ping also respects the Ancient Sage Tianhuang, and he has no place to vent his resentment, so he takes it all out on the holy beast.

"Pingyang is the most courageous disciple, which is good, but also not good." This was Shen Qing's evaluation of him at the time. After fighting with the holy beasts many times, everyone knew how powerful the holy beasts were. Many people had their magic power sucked away by the holy beasts. Most of the disciples began to fear facing the holy beasts, but only Pingyang dared.

His response at the time was: "I am everyone's eldest brother and I should help everyone. If I kill more holy beasts, everyone will have less pressure."

However, only he himself knew that what he said were just nice words.

At the beginning, relying on his great magic power, it was not difficult for him to kill the holy beasts. However, as the speed of his magic power recovery gradually failed to keep up with the speed of consumption, he began to feel the difficulty. Until one day, he was alone and encountered ten holy beasts at the same time.

It’s over.

This was what he was thinking at the time. The place where they encountered the group of holy beasts was an ice lake with open space all around and no escape. At that time, no one had discovered that the holy beasts would not harm their lives, so Pingyang only felt that his life was about to come to an end. However, after he ran out of magic power and fell into a coma, he finally opened his eyes.

His mana was not sucked away! He even felt that his mana was gradually increasing, not recovering but growing, as if something was helping him practice.

Then he saw the secret of the snowfield. It was this secret that made him disappointed in the Ancient Sage Tianhuang and the entire Great Wilderness, and even made him feel fear for the existence of the Great Wilderness.

"Alas——" Pingyang sighed heavily, looking at the approaching snow and wind in the distance. In a trance, he felt that it was not the snow and wind that were approaching, but that he was getting closer to the snow and wind.

"Brother Pingyang, all the brothers and sisters are here." A fellow brother stepped forward respectfully and said. Compared with Shen Qing, this brother was more respected by him, but this time it was too risky. Even he couldn't help feeling uneasy. After hesitating for a while, he finally asked:

"Are we really going to capture the leader?"

Pingyang snorted, his eyes full of determination: "Isn't this what we have been doing all these years? As long as Shen Qing is still here, our junior brothers and sisters will always believe that the ancient saint Tianhuang will forgive our sins. Humph, it's just a foolish dream."

The disciple knew that Pingyang was upset at the moment, so he didn't say much. He just sighed and went to make preparations. Pingyang looked at the direction he left silently and whispered, "Sorry."

Then, Pingyang took out something from his arms. It was a mirror. The mirror surface was smooth, but without too much decoration. It looked quite simple. He held the mirror in front of him, but the mirror did not reflect his figure, nor the existence of the snowy field.

……

The Lonely Mountain is right in front of her. Without calling upon the gods of Teyvat, Ying can only use the power of wind element. Although it is not as fast as the power of thunder element, it is more than enough for traveling. What's more, those who are chasing her at this time are just some down-and-out monks who cannot use magic power. Until now, they have not been able to keep up with Ying.

"Almost." Ying stopped using elemental power and instead walked closer to the lonely mountain. She still couldn't completely trust Gu Tianhan, but being trapped in the snowfield was really not a solution. She could only take one step at a time. Unless it was absolutely necessary, she had to keep the pocket anchor.

Returning to the place where the sinners and the disobedient had clashed before, it was now empty, but Ying suddenly felt a sense of hostility. Her body tensed up when she noticed a figure appearing from above.

Ying acted decisively and used the Wind Vortex Sword against the figure, but the opponent turned out to be one of the rebels who still had magical powers. The wind power of the Wind Vortex Sword disappeared the moment it was about to touch the opponent's face, followed by several bolts of lightning that struck Ying.

Immortals have many moves, which Ying had experienced when she was in the neighboring immortal village. In comparison, she was at a disadvantage as she could only use Wind Breath and Wind Vortex Sword. Fortunately, Ying's swordsmanship was quite advanced, and with only two moves she successfully forced the immortal back.

"Great swordsmanship." The man praised, but suddenly pulled away and put away his magic power, bowed to Ying and apologized, "Haha, fellow Daoist, I'm sorry, I was just worried that it was the Sect Master's people, so I had to take action, please forgive me."

After Ying confirmed that the other party had no hostility, she nodded, but did not retract the sacrificial sword in her hand.

"You haven't left Lonely Mountain. Are you still planning to live here?" Ying asked. You know, the sinners can immediately abandon this place after discovering that the disobedient people appeared in Lonely Mountain, and the disobedient people are obviously weaker than the sinners. Aren't they afraid that the sinners will attack them?

"We have never lived here. We just made some arrangements here. When the sect master and his men arrived here, we planned to catch them all in one fell swoop. Unfortunately, we encountered a sacred beast on the way and were unable to complete the arrangements."

Ying did not say anything else. She was not familiar with these people, and they tactfully retreated. Soon, the disobedient people appeared one by one from every nook and cranny of Lonely Mountain. Some of them held talismans or magical instruments in their hands, and some even held command flags. It seemed that they were planning to set up a formation.

Not only is it difficult to recover magic power in the snowfield, but the materials for making talisman paper and magic tools are almost nowhere to be found. It is really amazing that these disobedient people could actually put together a magic circle. However, if Shen Qing cannot be captured successfully this time, there is no telling how long the fight between the disobedient people and the sinners will last.

Soon the formation was set up, and the disobedients waited in their assigned positions. Ying came to the top of Solitary Mountain, where the view was wide and it was convenient for observing what was happening around. Naturally, there was more than one Ying on the top of the mountain, Pingyang had also been waiting here early.

Pingyang glanced at Ying and said, "Shen Qing didn't show up. You failed to lure him over."

Ying frowned: "Could it be that he saw through your plan, so he didn't come?"

"That old stubborn man is indeed stubborn, but he is also cunning and cautious. You are right, he may have indeed seen through it. I guess he won't come today or even for a long time in the future." Pingyang took out a kettle from his arms and drank several sips of water.

"Then all your arrangements are in vain?"

Pingyang shook his head: "It's not in vain, I didn't create this formation to trap him."

"I made this formation for you."

As soon as she finished speaking, several chains appeared out of thin air and rushed towards Ying. Ying was shocked, but fortunately she did not relax for a moment and quickly mobilized the wind element in her body to dodge. Once the chains approached, she used the Wind Vortex Sword to knock them away.

However, there were so many chains that Ying blocked several attacks in a row, but gradually fell into a disadvantage.

"Are we going to use the pocket anchor?" Ying's heart sank. She looked at Pingyang. The other party had obviously been prepared. She couldn't escape in her current state, but who could leak her situation?

Gu Tianhan!

Only Gu Tianhan can not only see Ying's condition, but also use his guide ability to open a channel at will to communicate with Pingyang face to face. Gu Tianhan is apparently plotting against Shen Qing, but is he actually plotting against himself?

"Just surrender, we won't hurt you, we just need to keep our eyes on you." Pingyang was sure of victory and didn't take Ying's struggle seriously at all.

But Ying didn't believe what he said. If he really didn't want to harm her, couldn't he just communicate with her? Was there any need for a surprise attack?

One chain finally hit Ying's back. The powerful impact caused Ying to lose her balance. Several other chains then entangled Ying's hands and feet, and she soon lost the ability to move.

Pingyang smiled. Everything was as he expected. However, his smile soon froze on his face because something suddenly appeared in front of Ying. It was a magical artifact. Its mere existence made her unable to take her eyes away, and she dared not act rashly.

"The Mountain-Breaking Sword is very powerful. Even the Ancient Saint Tianhuang may find it difficult to block its attack. I wonder if you or your formation would like to try out the power of the Mountain-Breaking Sword?"
