Chapter 286: Sea Chaos (2)

When the three words "Osser" reached everyone's ears, it was like a gust of cold wind whistling past, and the hearts of the people present instantly fell into an ice cellar, heavy and drooping.

"Osel, the terrifying existence that was once sealed by the Emperor under the Jade Pavilion, I didn't expect that this Hundred Unforbidden Talisman would have such amazing power, and could stir up the situation again..." Keqing frowned and said solemnly, "Qianyan Army, listen to my order, sound the alarm immediately, and organize the people to evacuate quickly! There must not be any delay!"

Although her voice was steady, the tension and urgency contained in it were like a taut bowstring, ready to explode at any moment. Every Qianyan Army soldier who heard the order felt the seriousness of the situation and took action.

The Qianyan Army took quick action, and the alarm sounded shrilly over Liyue Harbor, breaking the past prosperity and tranquility. The people were a little panicked at first, but under the orderly command of the Qianyan Army, they began to evacuate in a safe direction.

Ningguang's eyes were deep. She put away the fan in her hand and arranged the follow-up matters in an orderly manner. "Notify the General Affairs Department to open all evacuation passages and prepare supplies. Send a team to the port to assist the merchant ships in evacuating. The people must not be harmed in any way." She spoke quickly, but every word was clear and powerful, showing the decisiveness of a leader in times of crisis.

Lin Huan slowly turned around and cast her eyes towards the brightly lit harbor, subconsciously clenching her palms. She had excellent eyesight, and her eyes were like a fine net, taking in every corner of Liyue Harbor.

In the harbor, the Thousand Rocks Army was busy. Osel's abyssal divine power was like an invisible mountain, weighing heavily on everyone. Every step of the Thousand Rocks Army soldiers seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and their bodies seemed to stagger under this powerful pressure. However, their upright figures were like burning torches, emitting brilliant light in the darkness.

Look, the young soldier of the Thousand Rocks Army was struggling to prop up the fallen stall in the surging crowd. Veins bulged on his forehead and beads of sweat kept rolling down, reflecting the light of determination under the lights of the harbor. His legs were trembling slightly, but he was as firm as a rock, just to open up a path to safety for the people.

Over there, a group of Thousand Rocks soldiers were at the edge of the port, fighting tenaciously against the raging wind and waves and the chaotic situation. They struggled to help the crew stabilize the shaking ship and carry heavy supplies. Even though their bodies staggered a little under the pressure of divine power, they never retreated. Their sweat-soaked armor shone under the lights, like the sacred armor guarding Liyue, and every piece of armor was engraved with a firm belief.

Lin Huan looked at all this, her eyes slightly moistened, and a warm current surged in her heart. These ordinary yet extremely great warriors are using their flesh and blood and iron will to build the most solid defense line of Liyue. She knows very well that she and her elders, as well as the Seven Stars, are fighting against Osel in the front to protect these lovely people and Liyue, a home that carries hope and dreams.

"I will definitely hold on..." Lin Huan whispered softly, like a promise to herself, and also like a hymn to the Thousand Rocks Army. Then, she turned around resolutely, her eyes were like torches, and she strode towards the direction of Osel, tapping her toes lightly, ready to fly up and face the more brutal battle. Because she knew that only by repelling Osel could Liyue Harbor return to peace, and the efforts of the Thousand Rocks Army and the people would not be in vain.

However, just after she took two steps, a dark green spear stretched out like a snake, blocking Lin Huan's way.

“Ahuan, stay.” Xiao’s tone was cold and calm, but it carried unquestionable majesty. “You should know that you are shouldering a more important mission. Osel’s awakening this time is so powerful that you cannot easily contend with it alone. Fighting it now is nothing more than a pebble hitting a rock, and it will not help the situation at all.”

Behind him, Grandma Ping's voice came, "Yes, child... Xiao is right. You have a more difficult task. The soldiers and civilians behind you in Liyue Port need the protection of the immortals. I still remember that five hundred years ago, you said that there was no need for any taboos, and that you would respond to any call. This was the contract between you, the Qianyan Army, and Liyue. Ah Huan, do you still remember?"

Lin Huan's body trembled, and a flash of memory and realization flashed in her eyes. She slowly clenched her fists, her nails almost embedded in her palms. Yes, she had just come to Liyue at that time, and had not yet signed a contract with the Emperor. The first contract she signed as an immortal was to give the land of Liyue, the Qianyan Army that protected Liyue, and those cute and tough little people. She loved them deeply, and even if the years passed and her relatives and friends were separated, this heart would not change. That was her promise from the bottom of her heart, as solid as gold and stone, and she would never betray it forever.

"Of course I remember... That was my lifelong promise to Liyue and the Qianyan Army." Lin Huan's voice was a little hoarse, but it was extremely firm. She turned around and looked at the busy figures in Liyue Harbor, the Qianyan Army who still held on under heavy pressure, and the panicked people who still supported each other. Every scene hit her heart like a heavy hammer, making her belief in protection even more blazing.

"Thank you, Grandma Ping. I understand. I will not forget my responsibilities."

The next moment, Lin Huan slowly turned around, his movements were as light as a swallow and as graceful as the wind. In this split second, the rock-green long sword in her hand suddenly burst into dazzling light and disappeared without a trace. And the next moment, a bronze bell with a simple and unsophisticated shape, exuding an ancient and distant atmosphere, suddenly floated in her palm without any warning. The surface of the bronze bell was covered with traces of erosion over the years, as if carrying an endless history and mysterious power.

At the same time, Lin Huan's figure flashed by like a ghost, and in the blink of an eye she had teleported to the top of the Jade Pavilion. Her speed was so fast that it was hard to grasp, leaving only an illusory afterimage.

Behind her, a dark blue dragon appeared out of thin air. The dragon was huge and boundless, winding and circling in the air, just like a majestic mountain. Its agile figure swam freely in the air, circling around Lin Huan for several circles, and suddenly, as if it had received some mysterious command, it suddenly retracted its light and disappeared without a trace in an instant, as if it had never appeared.

At this moment, Lin Huan's hands flew, changing endlessly, and she quickly pinched the magic formula. Along with her movements, the ancient bronze bell in her hand trembled violently, emitting a series of clear and melodious humming sounds. The sound was not loud at first, but it quickly spread like layers of ripples, not only resounding throughout the sky above the Qun Yu Pavilion, but even spreading across the entire sky of Liyue Harbor.

In the blink of an eye, the Thousand Rocks soldiers and ordinary people who were suppressed by Osel's power on the Jade Pavilion and walking in Liyue Harbor suddenly felt the heavy pressure on their shoulders, like a mountain, suddenly relieved.

Previously, they were almost unable to move due to the pressure of the demon god, and even breathing normally became extremely difficult. But at this moment, the suffocating feeling of oppression instantly disappeared, replaced by an unprecedented sense of ease and comfort. So, these soldiers opened their mouths wide and greedily breathed in big gulps of fresh air, as if they wanted to replenish all the oxygen they had just lost.
