Original God, I, the prince of Liyue, do not want to inherit the throne

In the smoke-filled dilapidated house, Rude Lawrence looked at the cloaked man in front of him with horror. He was extremely unhappy and stimulated the power of the devil in his body. His evil eye was also rioting, as if it could suddenly attack and hurt people at any time.

How could Diluk give his enemy such a chance to catch his breath? After he finished speaking, he raised his foot and kicked Rude directly in the chin the moment he raised his head, causing him to fly into the air. Then he turned around and kicked with more force using inertia, kicking Rude a hundred meters away again.

The destination where Rude fell was the sparsely populated edge of the city wall, and everything Diluk did was a cautious move to prevent Rude from grabbing anyone to threaten him. It can be said that he left no chance for the enemy.

After being hit hard twice again, Rude's previously accumulated demonic power was once again consumed in resisting his injuries. He fell on the ground in a mess, and a pile of mud flew out.

"Ahem... ahem, you despicable fellow, if you can, let me unleash the true power of the demon god!"

Rude roared and shouted, accumulating strength again, and the flames under his feet spread and burst out, forming a net to burn the surrounding houses and prevent someone from approaching.

Diluk's eyes became colder. Even though the place was sparsely populated, there were bound to be people wandering around there in the middle of the night. He could only stop them from spreading the fire.

However, before Diluk could take any action, the sound of flowing water swarmed out from his left and right sides, instantly extinguishing Rude's flames and causing his plan to fail.

The visitor was an original god who controlled the water element, and was also a member of the Windmill Town branch of the Knights of Favonius. Diluk never expected that there was an original god in this place. It seemed that he was hiding very deeply and was exposed now.

However, these things have nothing to do with Diluk for the time being, so just leave it to Kaeya. The current goal is to capture Rude and interrogate him for information.

Seeing his flames being extinguished by the running water, Rude couldn't help but feel angry and furious, but he still put on an arrogant smile on his face, because his energy had been almost accumulated in this short breathing time.

Diluk seized the opportunity when a layer of smoke appeared when the fire was extinguished, took a step through the smoke, and swung his greatsword to kill Rude's chest at an incredibly fast speed.

Rude's pupils dilated, and the power of the demon in his body drove his body to dodge the attack. An aura of oppression burst out from his body, and he retreated at a high speed, throwing out one fireball after another, like a wizard.

Diluk was not going to tolerate his opponent. Seeing that he had surprisingly dodged the attack, he did not hold back. With his greatsword wrapped in purple flames, he stepped closer to Rude and directly cut off one of his arms, then kicked him to disperse the demonic power in his body.

Diluk, who was fast, accurate and ruthless, grabbed the unconscious Rude and left the place, leaving behind the smoke-filled land and the confused knights.

"Oh, it seems I'm late."

The sound of horse hooves coming from behind immediately made many members of the Knights relax. They turned their heads happily to look at Kaia, who was riding a white horse made of ice elements, and said:

"Reporting to the cavalry captain, someone is suspected of stealing Mond's secrets. He has been beaten and taken away by another person. Should we investigate?"

Kaia glanced at the Knights who used the Eye of God, nodded, and replied to the captain of the team who reported:

"Seal off the local area, arrest any suspicious targets immediately, and interrogate them afterwards. I will track down the enemy."

"understand!"

As the order was given, Kaeya rode the ice horse he had condensed into the sky and chased in the direction Diluk was heading.

……

Xumi, in front of a private dining table in a restaurant somewhere, Zhongli looked at the white-haired Seno talking to Kawi, and said after clearing his throat:

"Mr. Seno, the truth of this matter has not yet been revealed. Mr. Kawi, you don't have to get angry and argue with him. It will not benefit us both."

"I'm very sorry, Mr. Zhongli. This guy Senor said he wanted to take Haisen back to investigate for unfounded charges. I couldn't help it."

"I'm sorry, guest from Liyue. I just received an anonymous tip and came here to investigate whether El Haisen has colluded with outside forces. I don't doubt your Wangsheng Hall, but I am also acting impartially. Please forgive me."

"That's fine, as long as Mr. Senor is fair and just."

Zhongli clapped his hands, then glanced at the dishes already on the table and said calmly and gently:

"Everyone should eat first, so that you can have the energy to investigate what happens next."

"Oh my, it was a good show."

Dolly drank the juice with a smile on her face. She had taken off the glasses she was wearing and her face was full of joy.

Zhongli looked at Dolly helplessly, and Kavi was even more cautious and didn't say anything. After all, he still had a lot of debts to pay back to her. If Dolly was happy, it would be good to reduce the debt a little bit.

Seno glanced at Dolly, the wealthy man in Xumi. As long as the other party did not do anything illegal, he would not make things difficult for the girl in front of him.

After a meal, Zhongli finished explaining the disadvantages of the Void Terminal, but Seno's eyes became very sharp.

"I didn't expect the Void Terminal to have such a big disadvantage. Any move I make will be strategically calculated by them. No wonder Mr. Zhongli asked me to take off the Void Terminal before I came in."

"Don't spread the matter of the Void Terminal to anyone other than the people you trust the most. Don't transmit this thought to the terminal, or it will be easily exposed."

At this moment, Elhaisen walked into the private room and warned Seno calmly. Seno also understood the consequences of this matter and said with a serious expression:

"The Great Sage's move clearly shows some conspiracy. I will investigate this matter secretly. If there are any clues, we can arrange a place to share intelligence. We can also avoid using the information reported by the terminal."

After a period of discussion and analysis, everyone finally decided that the venue for information exchange would be inside the newly built Hall of Rebirth.

Zhongli looked at the people who had left one after another, holding a cup of tea in his hand and drinking it all in one gulp. There was a little divine light flashing in his golden pupils, and he muttered to himself:

"With all these variables, we don't know how much change it will bring to the turbulent Xumi. We just have to wait and see."

Zhongli originally wanted to investigate the incident of Xumi alone, but because the people he met along the way during the Hutao mission were all talented, he decided to let them handle the investigation of the secret conspiracy of the great sage Xumi.

Dolly provided financial assistance, Kavi was responsible for map analysis of the area and house structures, Seno was responsible for arresting people involved in the conspiracy, Elhaisen was responsible for high-quality interrogations, and I just watched the show throughout, and it was also nice to help out occasionally.

As the saying goes, Xumi's affairs are resolved by Xumi's people. Zhongli's decision also determined the most important experience of handing over Liyue to be governed by his own people in the future.
