Genshin Impact: I am the Great General of Liyue

Paimon gave a knowing look and said, "See? That tone of his is definitely someone who's been there! Alright, now that everything's settled, we should head back to Liyue Harbor."

The group arrived at the entrance of Liyue Harbor and found a large crowd.

Paimon stopped and looked at the group of people with a puzzled expression.

"Huh, what's going on? Why are there so many Thousand Rock Army soldiers at the city gate? And the Fools too..."

Seeing the tense atmosphere, Zhongli said, "The atmosphere is unusual; something big seems to be happening. Just to be safe, we should find someone to inquire about it."

The group walked up to a fool who was idly standing to the side. The fool's name was Felix, and he recognized the newcomer immediately.

"Oh, you must be Mr. Zhongli, a guest elder of the Hall of Rebirth. The Thousand Rock Army is keeping a close watch on us. These are critical times, so don't make any rash moves."

Seeing that the other party's attitude was very good, Zhongli also politely asked, "Is this a special period?"

Felix explained the situation without hesitation.

"The immortals of 'Jade Cloud Realm' have finally set off. Their intentions are likely not good."

"Is this to demand an explanation?"

Zhongli asked again.

Felix explained very patiently, but deliberately emphasized the matter of the Seven Stars.

"That's probably it. I heard that some of the Seven Stars went to greet him early on... Heh, it's more like they wanted to stop the immortal outside the city than to greet him. But both sides were very firm, and they got into a stalemate."

Zhongli fell into deep thought.

"...It was inevitable that things would come to this point."

"The immortals don't recognize the seven stars, only the 'contract' with the Geo Archon. If they decide to launch a direct attack, Liyue Harbor probably won't be able to withstand it."

"But the Seven Stars of Liyue are not people who sit idly by."

Speaking of the Liyue Seven Stars, this Fatui member had quite a few complaints.

"Hmph, who doesn't know they have a tough stance? But that's precisely why the conflict between humans and immortals is so easily triggered!"

Zhongli tilted his head and asked, "And then? How did the Fools become the rulers of the heavens?"

"Hmph...it's all because of that Ningguang, saying something about 'at this time of impending doom, the Ganyan Army must completely control the movements of the Fools.' Pshaw! Only now do they think of restricting our actions? The Seven Stars are nothing special!"

After angrily accusing Seven Stars, Felix looked at Zhongli and said in a very amiable tone, "In short, Mr. Zhongli, you are Young Master's collaborator, and your attitude is half our attitude. Don't let anyone find a handle against you."

After the other party finished giving instructions, Paimon said to Luminous, "It seems that all the conflicts in Liyue Harbor have reached their limit..."

Ying lowered her head and hesitated for a moment before saying, "I don't want to stand idly by."

"You mean you want to intervene and mediate using your special neutral status? Or do you want to use your personal force to change some balance? Neither of these paths seems easy..."

After Zhongli finished asking his question, before Ying could answer, the fool interrupted, "Oh, right! Mr. Zhongli. I heard that your Rebirth Hall has also been caught up in the conflict and is currently in a standoff with the government troops who came to our door!"

"...This is bad. I have to go ahead and check on the Hall of Rebirth. Hopefully, Hall Master Hu can handle things for now...and prevent any major chaos. Traveler, you should also reconsider. In my opinion, to prevent an imminent explosion, we should first figure out where the 'fuse' is."

After saying that, Zhongli left without stopping.

After Zhongli left, Paimon sighed.

"Hmph... Being a 'friend' of the Fools seems to have both advantages and disadvantages. So, what did Zhongli mean by 'fuse' earlier?"

Ying replied, "The sucker who paid for our meals the whole way."

Even if Paimon was stupid, he would know from the description that it referred to Prince D'Artagnan.

"I see! I... I think I understand now. Hmm, if you ask me who most wants this kind of chaos, he's the first person that comes to mind. This guy must be doing something bad while everyone's distracted! But where can we find him now? Where could he be when all the chaos has become... extremely chaotic?"

At this moment, Huiyuan said, "It must be that place where money is everywhere. Paimeng, Yingmei, things are a bit chaotic in the city right now. I need to go and take care of some other things first. If you encounter any danger, smash this."

Huiyuan took out an Alliance Jade Sign he had bought from the system shop and handed it to Ying. The function of this Alliance Jade Sign was that it was not limited by time and space, allowing Huiyuan to receive the news at the same time the Alliance Jade Sign was destroyed, and then instantly rush to the scene to save people.

Ying nodded, accepted the alliance jade, and left with Paimon.

......

The Qunyu Pavilion in the sky is no longer in its previous location. Now, the Qunyu Pavilion is directly above Tianheng Mountain.

Many people and immortals were standing on the deck of Qunyu Pavilion, including the True Lord of Water Management and Mountain Creation, the True Lord of Cloud Retention and Wind Borrowing, the True Lord of Moon Shaving and Sun Building, the Great Sage Xiao who Subdues Demons, Gan Yu, Ning Guang, Ke Qing, a group of heavily armed Qianyan Army soldiers, and even Granny Ping.

The three True Lords, namely, the Water-Controlling Mountain-Stacking, the Cloud-Borrowing Wind, and the Moon-Shaving and Sun-Building, gazed at the Thousand Rock Army before them.

"What? Are the Seven Stars going to attack us here? They've come to greet us with such sophisticated weapons."

Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun exuded the pressure of an immortal, glaring at Ning Guang and Ke Qing with a fierce look.

Gan Yu looked at Ke Qing and Ning Guang, who were being interrogated, with great concern, but just as she was about to speak, Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun spoke up again.

"Hmph... Fine. These weapons are ingenious, but they can't harm us in the slightest. Let's get down to business. Recently, I and the other immortals jointly performed a divination, and it is predicted that Liyue Harbor will face a calamity today. That's why we've come here."

Ningguang breathed a slight sigh of relief and began talking with the immortals.

Although it was supposed to be a conversation, the atmosphere was very tense. Fortunately, Gan Yu and Grandma Ping mediated the situation, otherwise they might have really started arguing.

Although the immortal's aura was powerful, Keqing didn't care about it at all and refuted the immortal's various claims with great force throughout.

Apart from True Lord Xiaoyue Zhuyang, the other two True Lords were quite agreeable. Because of True Lord Xiaoyue Zhuyang's attitude, Keqing argued fiercely with him. However, they maintained excellent restraint, and the argument never escalated to the point of physical violence.

Xiao was a man of few words, watching the crowd argue without saying anything. Because of Huiyuan's presence, he maintained a neutral stance towards the Seven Stars.
