Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

"You're really straightforward." Tianlang looked at Yaohui helplessly, "Well, it seems I have no choice but to go to Akagi to find Xueji. But the answer she gives will probably be the same as yours."

"Since you know this, why don't you go find a professional?" Yao Hui said calmly with a serious face. "Among the Guardians, the ones who know the most are Ice Emperor Rexaos and Shadow Tyrant Rednos. Ice Emperor, in particular, was the first to follow the Holy Lord and knows a lot. However, I don't recommend that you do this. Instead of hoping for luck and asking other Guardians, it's better to go directly to Mengtian and find the Holy Lord. That's the fastest way."

Hearing this, Tianlang raised his head and sighed, "Of course I understand this, but you also know that if you want to ascend to Dream Heaven, you must be summoned by the Holy Lord. Among the Guardians, only Bingdi and Yingba can directly communicate with the Holy Lord."

"That's your business, it has nothing to do with me." Yao Hui closed his eyes and said seriously. At this time, he stood up and said, "Have you asked the questions you wanted to ask? If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

After he finished speaking, Yaohui left his seat without turning his head and walked towards the door to leave.

At this moment, Kailin suddenly shouted: "Hey, wait a minute!"

"Why don't you explain the situation clearly?" She wanted to say this, but Yaohui's look frightened her and she swallowed back the words that were just on the tip of her tongue.

He turned his head and squinted at everyone and said, "Only for Tianlang's sake did I agree to meet with you. Please don't waste your time challenging my bottom line. I'm not as easy to talk to as he is!"

After saying that, Yaohui turned around and walked out of the store, leaving behind the helpless Tianlang and the trembling Kailin.

"Evil devil... he lives up to his name." Zi Xuan said, wiping the sweat from her hands.

Mo Yan looked at Tian Lang and asked, "Has your friend always been like this?"

"That's what outsiders think. Actually, he is still very kind." Tianlang replied.

"Kind? How can I not see it?" Karen looked towards the door, then carefully sat back in her seat.

"It's not his fault. Yaohui and I were both ordinary villagers before becoming a Guardian. When he first became a Guardian, I was also rejected. At that time, I had to pester him to become his friend. Don't be fooled by his fierce appearance. In fact, he is more meticulous than anyone else."

At this time, Tianlang sighed and said angrily, "He's just not good at communicating with others, and thus gradually closed himself off. The reason for his becoming like this is probably related to that incident in the past."

"What happened in the past?" Kailin asked doubtfully.

Tianlang shook his head and said helplessly, "That happened 5000 years ago, and Yaohui doesn't like people talking about it behind his back, so if you want to know, you should ask him."

As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became heavy.

Zi Xuan lowered her head and thought for a moment before saying, "Has he isolated himself? In reality, it seems to be a psychological disorder."

"Disease? So his condition can be cured?" Tianlang suddenly asked happily.

"Yes." Zixuan nodded and said, "Where we are, this condition is generally called autism, and the main causes are mostly due to the death of relatives and friends and environmental factors."

"A relative passed away? Indeed, she was the only friend he had at that time." Tianlang lowered his head and thought quietly, then asked again, "Is there a solution?"

Zi Xuan shook her head and said, "We can only use medication, but there is only one way to solve the root problem. As the saying goes, the person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it. In addition, companionship, family affection, and a good environment are also indispensable."

Upon hearing this, Tianlang instantly showed a look of disappointment.

"Is that so? But after all these years, Yaohui's only friends are me and Sister Xueqi."

"Not really?" Karen asked in surprise.

Tianlang smiled and said, "Miss Kailin, I understand your thoughts, but I'm sorry. The relationship between us Guardians is not as you imagine. We were all selected and granted the position by the Holy Lord for various reasons. Therefore, apart from our essential relationship as colleagues, there is no other relationship between us. Some Guardians even consider their duties to be a kind of shackles."

"The Evil Demon kills the evil and eliminates the treacherous, the Blood Princess is good at power and fools, the Flame King conquers all directions, the Poison Spirit sacrifices his life to survive, the Thunder Lord leads the killing, the Shadow Tyrant acts freely, and the Ice Emperor is the most loyal to the Holy Lord."

"We boarded the Guardian with different philosophies, and because of our different personalities, it was difficult for us to integrate into each other's world."

At this point, Tianlang sighed again. He smiled and said, "Let's stop here for now. Instead of worrying about the past, let's think about our next plan."

Zhao Heng nodded and said, "I agree. Since there's nothing to gain, there's no point in staying here. But where should we go?"

Tianlang replied, "Go find the Blood Princess. There's a Blood Peak Ridge in the northwest of the Black Territory. Beyond this ridge is the Red City, which is governed by the Blood Princess."

"Ah? Didn't that abomination suggest that we go find Bingdi or Yingba?" Kailin was a little stunned when she heard Tianlang say that.

"That's true, but Shadow Tyrant's 'Abyss' and Ice Emperor's 'Glacier' are even farther away from here. We have to pass by them anyway, so we might as well try our luck." Tianlang said.

"Is that so?" Kailin lowered her head and considered, "Then when do we set off?"

"Of course, the sooner the better." Mo Yan said at this time.

Everyone agreed, and after confirming the time, the five of them walked out of the farmhouse. Although the street was not crowded, it was still very lively. Zhao Heng didn't want to make a fuss, so he tried his best to stop Kailin from taking out the SUV.

"There's no rush on this part of the journey, so let's walk slowly," he said.

Boom!

Just as everyone started to move forward, suddenly, there was a loud noise in the distance, and people on the street fled in panic. At this time, only Mo Yan and the other five were left on the road, and they were still confused.

"What happened?" Kailin asked in panic.

Tianlang looked at the dust rising in the distance, lowered his head and thought silently.

"That direction is not far from here, and there are evil contracts involved... Could it be possible!" He was shocked and ran towards the direction of the incident without looking back.

In the distance, the ground was cracked and rocks were raised. A man in heavy armor stood on the street, holding an oversized yellow battle axe. He was unconcerned by the smoke and fog around him, and even spoke nonsense.

"Hey, hey, hey, ladies, I'm looking for the evil one. If you could just tell me where he is, why would you have to endure this pain?"

In the ravine, Clorinde and Obsidian slowly stood up and looked at the mess around them. They were very angry.

"I don't know, and even if I knew I wouldn't tell you!" Clorinde said seriously.

"That's right, the Fallen Angel Troupe is really bold. They actually sent you alone. Are they laughing at the fact that we have no one in the Black Domain?" Hei Yao said angrily.

The man smiled and said, "Okay, since you don't want to drink my toast, don't blame me for treating you to a penalty drink!"

The man raised his heavy axe and slashed it hard at the ground. The blow was like splitting a mountain and splitting rocks, and the ground spikes rose up like waves.

The two men looked at each other, jumped up at the same time, dodged the attack, and attacked the man from the left and right sides respectively.

Obsidian jumped down and punched and kicked the man, forcing him to defend himself, while Clorinde provided remote cover with a gun. When Obsidian's first round of attack ended, she used her speed advantage to approach and suppress him again.

The sword cannot compete with the axe, but it is light and fast. The axe is quite powerful, but also heavy.

In this way, Clorinde used her sword and gun, and Obsidian used his heavy punches. The two took turns attacking, and the man was instantly put on the passive side.
