He saw with his own eyes that malice had dragged Nora out from here, and Nora's soul was inside!

During a lull in the battle, seizing an opportunity, Diluc suddenly grabbed at the jade ring.

Malice had long noticed Diluc's furtive gaze, but he had been pretending not to know.

As Diluc grabbed him, he maliciously turned and grabbed Diluc's wrist.

The moment he grasped Diluc's wrist, he sensed a familiar presence.

Evil eye? !

No wonder he suddenly became so strong...

Angie also possesses an evil eye, so she is quite familiar with this kind of thing.

Diluc's greatsword, which he was swinging with his right hand, was also maliciously pressed down by the longsword.

"You too shall...serve...the abyss!"

Endless abyssal power surged towards Diluc, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break free.

But just as the Abyss entered Diluc's body, a green spear stabbed at Malice's back.

Malice swiftly dodged, releasing Diluc.

He didn't really want Diluc to serve the Abyss; he just wanted to take this opportunity to reduce the side effects of using the Evil Eye, although on the surface it seemed like he wanted Diluc to serve the Abyss.

Upon arrival, Xiao attacked Malice without saying a word, and Malice immediately concealed itself.

He can't beat this guy.

"Disappeared?!"

Xiao found it incredible, how could this be?

He was originally entrusted by the Wind God to help look after this guy, but unexpectedly, his karmic obstacles flared up at this time, almost causing him to miss the deadline.

Diluc, having pulled himself away, gripped the jade ring tightly in his hand, a fleeting look of joy on his face.

only…

Malice reappeared beside Diluc at some point, and directly reached out to snatch the jade ring.

Diluc held on tightly, even when suddenly pulled, he desperately tried to protect the jade ring in his hand, and did not let go even when his body fell heavily to the ground.

You can't steal it with malicious intent!

How could he possibly take it back? You have to understand that Diluc holds everything he has right now, and even if he loses his life, he will hold on to it tightly.

The malice vanished the instant Xiao attacked.

Xiao, who still hadn't made it, immediately went to Diluc's side, keeping a watchful eye on their surroundings.

"What is this thing?"

Diluc was equally vigilant of his surroundings, carefully protecting the jade ring in his hand:

"The creatures of the abyss are extremely strange; be very careful!"

Diluc had long heard of the Great Sage Who Subdues Demons of Liyue.

Xiao nodded. He had been distracted before, but now, as soon as that guy came out, he could instantly puncture a hole in him.

Knowing this, he immediately ran away.

Who knows if the commotion here has attracted those two guys? If we don't run now, this disguise will be gone...

As for the soul and such, it was meant to be returned to him anyway.

As for the reason...

Having followed Diluc for so long, Jiang Mumu felt sorry for him, as he lived in constant pain and was even woken up by nightmares while sleeping.

He couldn't bear to do it; after all, his brother had doted on him for seventeen years.

She had to do it out of emotional feedback, and now it was time to give Diluc some emotional comfort.

Otherwise, I would have to come and check on him every now and then, for fear that he would ruin his life.

Ruola's soul was originally a part of Jiang Mumu's consciousness, so when Ruola finished speaking, she naturally returned to Jiang Mumu.

Now, it's time to go back, although I'll be back in a few days.

But at least it can make someone feel a little better.

······

Liyue, Wanmin Hall.

Zhongli was about to have a meal when he saw a table full of delicious food in front of him.

Just then, a green-clad bard walked in, said nothing, and sat down opposite Zhongli.

"Mr. Zhongli, are you alone? Would you like me to keep you company?"

"Oh? I didn't expect to meet you here. Please, young friend Shen He, bring another set of chopsticks and a bowl."

Shen He, who was busy at work, nodded slightly and went to get the bowls and chopsticks.

Zhongli saw the worry on Wendy's face and knew that he had come specifically to see her.

"Then I'll thank you in advance, sir."

Wendy took out a bottle of wine and was about to open it when he remembered that this was the last bottle of wine Nora had given him, so he silently put it back.

Zhongli watched Wendy's actions, silently sipped his tea, and waited for Wendy to speak.

"You should know what happened in Mondstadt, right?"

Zhongli nodded slightly.

Wendy continued:

"The Abyss, through some unknown method, resurrected the once-fallen demonic dragon Dulin. The resurrected Dulin had no consciousness or thought, only the instinct to fight."

"While I was battling the dragon, the Abyss seized the opportunity to summon monsters to attack Mondstadt, even deploying ancient machines..."

"The culprit behind all this is a creature from the Abyss. It possesses a very special ability. It is not strong, but its ability to hide is extremely outstanding. Even I cannot find it when it is hidden."

"I have been following it all the way here and have found that it is very likely that it has already arrived in Liyue."

Zhongli put down his teacup and looked directly at Wendy:

What did it do to make you so angry?

"It killed a junior colleague I had high hopes for, or you could say a good friend, and took her soul with it."

"They took the soul?"

Zhongli's face darkened.

In Liyue, the concept of burial is paramount; after death, the soul is believed to go to its proper place.

In Liyue, blaspheming the souls of the dead is absolutely unforgivable.

Shen He brought over bowls and chopsticks, and Zhong Li and Wendy stopped talking at the appropriate time.

After Shen He left, Wendy quietly set up a barrier:

"That thing is strange, but it shouldn't cause much trouble in Liyue. I just hope that when the old man catches it, he can hand it over to me. If he can't catch it, he can just kill it."

Zhongli nodded silently.

The fact that Barbatos can be forced to reveal his murderous nature indicates that he is a dangerous individual. This factor, which is detrimental to Liyue, should be addressed as soon as possible if it can be found.

Although Zhongli has stepped down from his position as Geo Archon, he still doesn't mind helping Liyue eliminate a potential threat.

Chapter 59 Hidden Mission

"Thank you for your help, Great Sage Who Subdues Demons."

Xiao Wei felt a little awkward; he had almost messed up the task entrusted to him by the Wind God.

"It's alright. I am Xiao, the Three-Eyed Immortal. If you encounter any difficulties in Liyue, just call my name."

After saying that, Xiao leaped up and transformed into a gentle breeze, disappearing from sight.

Diluc looked around again, and seeing nothing amiss, carefully took out the purplish-black jade ring that held his sister's soul.

"If...La..."

He called out to Yu Huan, his voice trembling.

The jade ring flickered almost imperceptibly, but Diluc saw it clearly. He called out several more times.

This time, however, Yu Huan did not respond.

Diluc carefully placed the jade ring close to his body, then turned and left in the direction he had come from.

He was going back to Mondstadt to find Wendy and see if he had any ideas.

With his sister's soul safe, revenge seemed less urgent.

……

Return to the original.

The Traveler and Paimon had just been teleported from the snowy mountains. Seeing that Ying wasn't very happy, Paimon stepped forward to talk about going to Inazuma.

"Traveler, Inazuma is separated from here by a vast ocean, and Inazuma is currently in a period of national isolation, with thunderstorms from the Thunder God still raging on the sea."

"If we want to go to Inazuma, why don't we ask Zhongli first? He knows so much, maybe he knows how to get there too?"

Ying nodded, putting aside what she had just experienced in the snow mountain.

Just as she was about to head to the teleportation anchor point, she heard Paimon's exclamation.

"Oh, it's Lord Diluc!"

Ying looked around and sure enough, she saw a fiery red figure on the road a few hundred meters away from them.

"Traveler, let's go say hello."

The two ran towards Diluc's location.

As the two ran over, Diluc also noticed Luminous and Paimon.

His eyes suddenly lit up, and he jogged toward the two of them.

Upon approaching, before Luna and Paimon could speak, Diluc spoke first:

"I didn't expect to meet you here. I heard that you can use those ancient devices to travel back and forth. Is that true?"

Ying was taken aback by Diluc's somewhat anxious tone, and she immediately nodded.

"Great, can I ask you for a favor?"

"Diluc, what are you saying? We're friends, I'll definitely help!"

Diluc took the purplish-black jade ring from his pocket and handed it to Ying.

"This is…"

"Nora's soul is inside!"

Paimon recoiled in shock, covering his mouth: "What, this is actually..."

Diluc explained:

"The creature that attacked the Abyss of Mondstadt... took Nora's soul with it when it killed her. I encountered it on my way here and retrieved the jade ring that held Nora's soul..."

Before Diluc could finish speaking, Ying asked:

"You ran into that bastard?!"

"Yes, thanks to Liyue's Demon-Slaying Great Sage."

Upon hearing that Xiao had also made a move, Ying quickly continued to inquire:

"Was that guy killed?"

"No, that guy's stealth skills are amazing, it escaped."

"Traveler, I urge you to immediately teleport back to Mondstadt with this jade ring and find Barbatos. This jade ring is from the Abyss; every minute Nora remains inside increases her danger!"

Ying's face was serious. Diluc was able to entrust her with such an important matter entirely out of trust. Besides, this was Nora's soul, and no matter what, there could be no mistakes!
