Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

"Don't you think this place is weird?" Zhao Heng said seriously.

"Strange? Is it?" Kailin looked at Mo Yan, then at Zixuan, and then at Zhao Heng in confusion.

Zhao Heng nodded and said, "Yeah, it's too quiet. It's not even midnight yet, but there's no one here."

As the words fell, footsteps suddenly sounded all around them. Everyone's hearts tightened and they immediately prepared their weapons. At this moment, the castle gates opened and many guards ran out. In a moment, the surrounding area was full of soldiers.

"What's going on?" Karen asked in surprise and confusion when she saw her surroundings.

Just then, applause rang out, and Eric walked out of the castle with a smile.

"Eric?" Everyone widened their eyes.

"Yes, it's me. How are you all?" Eric said with a smile, standing in the middle of the gate. "I just got word that someone is planning a night raid on the Blood Mausoleum Palace tonight. I never thought it would be you."

Hearing the other party say this, Kailin instantly became unhappy.

"Hmph, stop slandering me here! You're the one with the evil intentions, yet you're the first to complain!"

"That's right!" Zi Xuan could no longer conceal her anger. She shouted at Eric, "In order to capture Chicheng, you used a trick to replace and kill the real Eric, and you used his face to deceive everyone! We have investigated all this clearly, and it's useless for you to deny it!"

"Oh? So you've already seen the body?" Eric chuckled. "I didn't expect you'd gotten this far. Honestly, I'm quite impressed. Yes, I'm not Eric. I'm merely borrowing his appearance. He's the one to blame for his reckless behavior. We've tried to persuade him repeatedly, but he remains stubborn and determined to oppose us. It's a shame, though, that Lady Blood Princess will never see or even hear your voices again."

"What?" Mo Yan was a little panicked when he heard this. "What did you do to Miss Xueqi?"

"Don't worry, she's fine now." Eric continued with a smile, "We just put some stuff in her food to make her fall asleep temporarily. When the time comes, I will explain to her that you died in the fight against the Sanu rebels."

As he spoke, the guards around him began to slowly approach with weapons in hand.

Everyone stood back to back, gritting their teeth, and no one dared to act rashly.

Zi Xuan looked at Zhao Heng and asked, "What should we do now?"

Zhao Heng looked around, beads of sweat the size of beans falling from his head. If it was just a small amount, it would be fine, but with such a huge army, the four of them would probably be exhausted to death.

"Let's delay time first, I hope Tianlang can arrive in time." He said.

During the day, Li Xueqi deliberately kept Yue Tianlang behind, probably because she wanted him to contact her special forces. Today, Eric's counterattack began to show. If they can hold on until he arrives, they will definitely be able to catch him in one fell swoop, although there is an element of gambling.

At this time, Eric smiled again and said, "If you want to delay time, I think you'd better not bother, because your reinforcements won't be coming."

"What?" Zhao Heng was stunned.

"You must be very curious now, right? Curious about how I knew this? To tell you the truth, the doctor taught me a prop for eavesdropping earlier. I secretly placed it in Blood Princess's study and office. Whether Blood Princess asked you to lurk around me or Moon Saint went to find reinforcements, I heard it all." Eric smiled.

A monitoring tool? Could it be a real-life monitoring device?

Zhao Heng was a little surprised, but soon calmed down.

"So whether it's inspecting the city defenses or searching the government office, all of this is within your expectations, right?"

"That's right. I don't know how you managed to sneak past my eyes and get into the mansion and find the evidence." Eric spread his hands and shook his head. "But it doesn't matter. I've already contacted Master Mengxian. Even if your friends find that mysterious army, we can easily eliminate it. As for you, please die here."

He spoke softly, and the next second, the troops rushed forward like a tide. The four men hardened their hearts and prepared for the final fight, and at this moment, blood-red spears fell from the sky, protecting the four people like a fence. Everything happened in a flash, and no one had time to react.

"What's going on?" Looking at the surrounding walls, Karen was a little confused for a moment.

Not only that, even Eric was completely clueless about what was happening. He looked around, and when he looked up at the sky, his eyes widened instantly. Because suddenly, many black-clad men wearing vampire clothing and with horns on their heads appeared in the sky.

"Hmph, it seems I arrived in time." At this moment, a woman fell from the sky and stood among the crowd.

She had blood-red hair and a pair of black horns on either side of her head. Her eyes were dark gold, a crescent moon glimmering within them. She wore a dark red robe, silver-grey shoulder armor, and a pair of bat-like wings on her back. On her feet, she wore dark black high heels, and aside from a pair of black stockings, she had no other protective features.

"Blood clan? No, that's not right. Could it be that you're from the Winged Demon Clan?" Eric said panickingly, looking at the woman in front of him. "Wait, a blood contract, a Winged Demon Clan. Could it be that you're the original Blood Princess..."

He didn't say anything else, and at this time, bursts of wailing came from the surrounding soldiers.

In the distance, a sword shadow flashed, and his soldiers were instantly struck away by lightning.

Not only that, there was also a woman who looked like a werewolf among the crowd. She clenched her fist as big as a sandbag and punched the person who was blocking her away.

Kailin, Mo Yan and others looked at the two figures in the crowd and were extremely happy for a moment.

"It's Miss Clorinde and Miss Obsidian!"

"That's true, but aren't they in the Black Domain? How come they are here?" Mo Yan asked in confusion.

At this time, another figure holding a sickle broke through the crowd and came in front of everyone.

"Guys, are you all okay?"

"Sirius!" Kailin said in surprise again.

"Yes, it's me. I'm back with reinforcements!" Tianlang smiled as he waved his hand holding the case.

As the tide of battle began to turn, Eric's men began to flee for their lives. Some, realizing they couldn't escape, simply threw themselves on the ground, holding their heads in their hands, while others cried out their surrender and crouched down to defend themselves. In short, the scene was a mess.

Clorinde saw Eric running away and intended to chase him, but she was blocked by his men. She had no choice but to eliminate the rebels first.

When all the rebels were killed, the scene was covered in blood.

Clorinde and the unknown woman directed everyone to clean up the scene, and then she came to Mo Yan and others.

"How are you, everyone? Are you all right?"

"Well, long time no see, Miss Clorinde. But how did you get here, and who is this lady?" Karen looked at Clorinde excitedly, then looked at the red-haired woman beside her and asked.

Clorinde folded her arms and smiled, "It's a long story. Her name is Elist, and she was Lady Blood Princess's first contractor."

As he said this, Hei Yao also walked over from the side.
