A celestial being, half-scaled and half-dragon, fell from the sky.
Ningguang was startled for a moment. Even with so many preparations, the future hadn't changed at all?
Looking up at the sky, the dark clouds hadn't completely dispersed, and there was nothing visible in the sky at all.
The person who killed the Emperor didn't even leave a trace?
Something feels off...
The fact that no movement was found in the book suggests that they were all unprepared and did not notice.
If everyone's attention is so focused and they still haven't noticed, then the culprit is quite intriguing.
Ningguang somewhat confirmed a possibility.
Li Shui and Die Shan have already taken to the sky; they seem to be chasing the 'culprit'.
"The Emperor has been murdered! Seal off the entire area!" Ningguang ordered.
The blockade was swift because the surrounding area was filled with the Thousand Rock Army.
But in fact, there was no need for a special lockdown; none of the people present wanted to leave.
"Your Majesty the Emperor!"
"Lord Yan! Waaaaah!"
The Liyue people around them wept and cried out, trying to move forward.
Weeping, anger, disbelief—the people around were filled with a variety of emotions.
Fortunately, the Thousand Rock Army blocked their way and prevented them from getting close.
Upon seeing this scene, Lin Qiu immediately thought of one sentence: "Sister Xiaolan, go call the police!"
It was just a joke, I thought no one would understand or care, but actually someone responded.
"Sister Xiaolan? Are you calling me?" Yelan asked.
It turned out that she had been hiding in the crowd, watching Lin Qiu and the others. She was very good at disguising herself, at least Lin Qiu didn't notice her.
"You truly are a prophet. I thought I had hidden it well. When did you discover it?" Ye Lan asked.
"?" I found nothing? Where did you come from?
"Uh, at the beginning?" Lin Qiu answered tentatively.
"So that's when it was... I thought you were just casually glancing at me, but I didn't realize you had already noticed me back then."
Ye Lan couldn't help but lament that her skills were still lacking; she would only be considered qualified when she could fool the prophet.
Fortunately, the prophet gave me face and didn't expose me directly.
No, is he deliberately not exposing himself so that I can monitor them and prove that he is not the murderer?
The prophet is truly remarkable...
"Mr. Lin Qiu, you are even more capable than I thought." Ye Lan said with some admiration.
Lin Qiu remained silent.
Ye Lan didn't say anything more and turned to leave.
Lin Qiu and his group did not make any moves. Since they were not the murderers, there was no need to keep monitoring them.

Chapter 92 The Emperor's Identity
After Yelan left, Funina spoke with emotion.
"That Geo Archon... he's really dead..."
It wasn't appropriate to say this in front of the Rock God's people whom he didn't know well, so he waited until Yelan left before speaking.
The mighty God of War and the God of Noble Gold, who once awed Teyvat, died so quietly.
The other two Rock God citizens, Shin-haku and Kurumi, didn't react much when they heard this.
They cannot be judged by ordinary logic.
"That's a bit too direct. If it were me, I'd at least make a fuss," Wendy analyzed.
"Wouldn't being so direct arouse suspicion? I think that Seven Star is already suspicious."
After saying that, Wendy spoke as if to herself.
"Sigh, this old man really has no talent for acting."
“Actor?” Fu Ningna caught the key word.
"Uh... I mean... hehe." Wendy tried to brush it off.
Then a hand was placed on Wendy's shoulder, and Zhongli's steady voice came through.
"My poet friend, we meet again."
Wendy was drenched in sweat.
“Guest Elder Zhongli, you’ve come at just the right time. The rest of the Sending-Off-Immortal Ceremony is now in your hands,” Hu Tao said.
“Yes, Master.” Zhongli nodded.
Zhongli couldn't figure out what Hu Tao was thinking either.
Even if they don't know they are an emperor yet, they should be able to guess that they are an immortal.
But Hu Tao's attitude towards herself remained unchanged.
It has to be said, this is exactly what Zhongli wanted.
"Young friend Lin, are you satisfied with this ritual for inviting immortals?" Zhongli asked again.
Lin Qiu was drenched in sweat.
Zhong Li smiled. He didn't mean to make things difficult for his old friend, but it was a rare moment of relaxation, so he teased him a bit.
“Things are in chaos right now, so the Sending-Off-the-Immortals Ceremony probably can’t be held for the time being. How about we go have a drink first?” Wendy pulled out another bottle of wine.
Zhongli snatched it away, saying, "I ran into an old friend over there, so let's go have some tea."
"Hey? My wine!" Wendy chased after Zhongli.
Lin Qiu was about to follow when someone stopped him. The person who came was Ning Guang and Ke Qing, with Qian Yan Jun controlling the crowd behind them.
“Mr. Lin Qiu, would you mind having a chat in the pavilion?” Ningguang asked.
"Of course, the others are also distinguished guests, please join us."
Lin Qiu was amused. There were even people vying to invite him to dinner. Should he drink Immortal Tea or Seven Star Tea?
In the end, Lin Qiu chose Seven Star Tea, since the immortal was already an acquaintance of his.
Moreover, Lin Qiu also wanted to see the real-life Qunyu Pavilion.
The group followed Ningguang up to the Jade Pavilion. It had to be said that it was magnificent; the Jade Pavilion in reality was even larger than the one in the game.
Looking around, the luxurious and grand architecture is full of beauty, and the surrounding plants embellish the buildings, adding a touch of nature to the place.
Hu Tao ran to the edge of the Jade Pavilion and quietly peeked out to look down.
"Wow, that's so high! It's scary." Hu Tao patted her chest, as if she had been frightened.
"I never expected that I, the head of this hall, would be invited to the Jade Pavilion." Hu Tao smiled.
On the other side, Navia was also looking left and right, marveling at the splendor of the place.
The Rose Association no longer lacks funds, but creating such a place is nothing short of a pipe dream.
Fu Ningna was the most reserved, gracefully following half a step behind Lin Qiu without looking around.
Ningguang had invited Lin Qiu, so it was best for her, as the Water Goddess, not to steal the spotlight.
If it weren't for maintaining her image as a water goddess, Funina would love to travel around and see the world.
Lin Qiu looked at the big boss, Hu Tao, who was running around everywhere, and the second boss, Navia, who was looking left and right, and couldn't help but sigh.
It's like watching a cheesy movie in the city; you two are also rich girls, aren't you?
Therefore, it seems there is still a difference between a rich young lady and a wealthy woman.
The wealthy woman could easily build an even bigger version of the Qunyu Pavilion.
Is there any way to make Ningguang my third boss...?
"Qiu, do you know how to make this?" Funina whispered in Lin Qiu's ear.
Lin Qiu said, "You know what, I actually know that."
However, everything you need is in Liyue, so it's quite difficult to get it.
He glanced at Shen He and said, "You'll find out later in Shen He's story."
"My story?" Shen He looked at Lin Qiu.
"Yes, a story about 'the goddess splitting the temple'."
Shen He wondered, what would his story be like? No, or rather, would he even have a story at all?
“Mr. Lin Qiu, you already know why I came to see you, don’t you?” Ning Guang asked, sitting indoors.
She had just learned about Lin Qiu's 'powerfulness' from Ye Lan.
Not only can they predict the future, they also use their brains, and I was actually fooled by their appearance.
In Ningguang's opinion, Lin Qiu might have already seen through all her thoughts.
Lin Qiu and Ning Guang were the only ones in this room; the others were in another room with Ke Qing.
Upon hearing Ningguang's question, Lin Qiu thought, "Should I know?"
Why would Ningguang seek me out? It's probably about the Emperor, right? She likely wants to know the Emperor's identity, doesn't she?
Thinking of this, Lin Qiu nodded.
Ningguang, seeing this, revealed an expression that said, "I knew it."
"Then I'll get straight to the point, Mr. Lin Qiu."
Before Lin Qiu could answer, Ning Guang stood up and walked to a wall panel.
The wall panels were covered with various strips of paper, photos, and lines drawn on them.
"Based on the intelligence I've gathered, I haven't found any key clues about the killer's identity."
"But today's invocation ceremony confirmed my idea, a new possibility."
Ningguang wrote the words "No murderer" on the wall panel.
Lin Qiu expressed his approval, saying, "Impressive! You saw through the wolf in this game at a glance—it was a wolf that killed itself."
"If there was no murderer from the beginning, and the Emperor did not die, could this have been just a plan orchestrated by the Emperor?"
"Based on this reasoning, we should be looking for the identity of the Emperor, not the murderer."
Ningguang wrote 'Emperor's Identity' on the wall panel, and then drew lines connecting the various characters.
Finally, he drew one big cross after another on the line, leaving only three lines.
One line points to Zhongli, another is blank, and the last line points to Lin Qiu.
“I investigated all the new characters who appeared in Liyue Harbor, and the most suspicious ones are you and Mr. Zhongli.”
"Mr. Zhongli's behavior and profound knowledge are really not in line with his age."
"Your sudden appearance and prophetic abilities are certainly extraordinary."
The reason she doubted Zhongli's identity was thanks to Lin Qiu's book, which made Ningguang realize that Zhongli was not only knowledgeable, but also knew immortals.
Ningguang then drew a circle in the blank space and continued:
