Genshin Impact: My confession was rejected, so I traveled to seven countries

Ningguang looked up at the sky and took a deep breath.

The auspicious time has arrived!

Ningguang stood up and slowly walked towards the center of the altar. Then the maid beside her retreated. She was seen with an aura surging all over her body. Several rock element crystals surrounded her. Then, under her command, the crystals rushed to the incense burner in the center of the altar and then surrounded it. As she pinched the magic formula, pale yellow crystals were suddenly embedded in the incense burner. In an instant, a yellow light shot straight into the sky. The clouds in the sky seemed to be dispersed and pulled by this light, and a huge vortex was faintly formed in the sky.

There was a faint roar coming from it, and a huge figure was looming in it. Ningguang couldn't help but smile and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this. According to the same experience, as long as she activated the elemental power again, the Emperor would fall from the sky.

However, before Ningguang could make her next move, the originally clear sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds. Thunder could be heard faintly in the clouds. Suddenly, a flash of lightning streaked across the dark clouds, appearing particularly dazzling in the darkness. Following this, bursts of thunder rumbled, and lightning circled around the huge figure. Suddenly, a flash of lightning rushed towards the figure. Suddenly, a mournful roar was heard, and with a loud bang, a huge figure crashed onto the altar, stirring up a cloud of dust.

Ningguang hurriedly raised her hands to block it. After the smoke and dust settled, a huge body appeared in it. It was the true body of the Rock Dragon, the Rock King that people had been talking about.

Ningguang watched this scene from afar, a bit incredulous. Her sharp eyes had already retreated before the rock dragon landed, preventing it from causing any harm. However, despite her fortitude, she couldn't help but be stunned by the sight before her. After reacting, she hurried forward to check, only to find that the rock dragon had completely lost all trace of life. It lay motionless.

At this time, the crowd who had reacted began to talk about it. After all, this matter was too weird. Such a thing actually happened during the ceremony of inviting the immortals.

Ningguang couldn't help but frown slightly, thinking something was amiss. She turned around abruptly, her eyes sharp, and immediately gave the order, "The Emperor has been murdered. Seal off the entire area!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a large group of Qianyan soldiers rushed out and surrounded everyone present.

As one of the Seven Stars, Su Mo naturally led the search, and the remaining seven stars also brought their own people to conduct inspections. However, there were so many people at the venue that checking them one by one was a considerable task.

"Su Mo!"

Paimon's voice came, Su Mo looked up and saw Hu Tao and others greeting him.

Su Mo came to the group.

"Su Mo, what is going on?" Paimeng asked worriedly.

"I have some unfortunate news to tell you. The Rock Emperor seems to have fallen. Now the Seven Stars are investigating suspicious persons." Su Mo glanced at Zhongli, who was still calm and composed. The other party did not say anything.

Paimon was surprised. "Ah? No way, is it that serious? Then, what should we do now? The venue is sealed off. They won't kill us without mercy, will they?"

Su Mo smiled slightly, "Don't worry, as long as you follow my instructions, I promise you will be fine."

Paimon quickly patted his chest and said, "That's good, that's good."

"Well, you just wait here for the inspection. Remember to cooperate and don't run around." Su Mo instructed.

"Don't worry, this is necessary."

Watching Su Mo leave, Paimeng suddenly felt a lingering fear, "Alas, who knew this would happen? This is unfortunate."

"That's right, but did the Rock King Emperor really fall? Isn't it said that the Rock King Emperor is very powerful?"

Just when Paimon was feeling worried, Hu Tao beside him waved his hand and said, "Oh, look at what you are talking about. Isn't it just the death of the Rock King? Although it is indeed very sad, it seems to be reasonable."

Hehehehe, it’s time for work, it’s time for work, this time it’s a once-in-a-century, oh no, once-in-a-millennium or even ten-thousand-years big client!!! Wow hahahaha!!!

Walnut had already made up her mind. With the passing of the Rock King, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. She was determined to secure this important client, no matter the cost. Then, she'd offer a special package for the Emperor's funeral. Wouldn't Namora be counting the chips?!

Paimon looked at Walnut's somewhat crazy look and felt a little scared. "I always feel like she is thinking about something bad."

"Yeah." Ying nodded in agreement.

……

Su Mo, who was directing the investigation, suddenly spotted Ningguang, who seemed dazed, on the altar. His brow furrowed slightly. He naturally knew what Zhongli was planning, but he was worried Ningguang wouldn't be able to process it. After all, the sudden demise of the Geo King, a figure of Liyue for millennia, was a crushing blow to the city. Especially for Ningguang, the person involved, it was inevitable that someone would exploit this incident to their advantage.

That's why he comforted Ningguang before she went on stage. However, it seems now that the blow was indeed quite big.

Su Mo sighed, then gave an order and left the team to walk towards Ningguang.

Coming to Ningguang's side, seeing that she was completely motionless, Su Mo comforted her, "Sister Xiyue, don't worry too much. This has nothing to do with you."

Ningguang said nothing, but just stared blankly at the huge body lying motionless on the ground.

Seeing that she hadn't moved, Su Mo thought Ningguang had received a severe blow and couldn't accept it for a moment. This was why the once arrogant person had become like this...

It seems that it will take some time to ease.

Thinking of this, Su Mo comforted her again, and then prepared to turn around and leave.

"stop!"

At this time, Ning Guang, who was originally stunned, suddenly spoke without turning her head.

"Huh?" Su Mo turned around and looked at Ningguang, who was still staring at the body on the ground, with some confusion. If he wasn't extremely familiar with this voice, he would have suspected that he was hallucinating.

"what happened?"

Ningguang took a deep breath, then slowly turned around to look at Su Mo. When Su Mo met her eyes, he couldn't help but be shocked, because at this moment Ningguang's eyes were full of determination, and her eyes were sharp like a lion about to get angry.

"Come back with me right now!" she said in an unquestionable tone.

"Why? Aren't we investigating the Emperor's fall now? Are you worried, Sister Xiyue, that they won't investigate seriously?"

Ningguang shook her head and continued, "That's not what I'm concerned about. What I'm concerned about is that something has happened to the Emperor. Those people working in the shadows will definitely not miss this golden opportunity. Those hidden families will also surely seize the opportunity to rise to power. I'm afraid Liyue won't be peaceful for a while."

"With the Emperor's fall and the subsequent transfer of power, I'm afraid the General Affairs Department is already in chaos. We need to calm down the internal factors first before we can free up our hands to investigate this matter."

"Right now, come back with me!"

Seeing that Ningguang didn't seem to be joking, Su Mo realized that the problem might not be as simple as he thought, but before that he still needed to talk to Ying and Paimeng.

Su Mo turned around and saw that there was no one there!

Ying and the others are missing!

Shit! I told them to stay where they are.
