Chapter 370: More Heartbeat
The several immortals present looked at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became heavy.
Faced with an existence like the Rudraksha, even though they were quite powerful, they felt unprecedented pressure.
"Morax, besides this method, you should have other means, right? I don't think you didn't leave any backup plan at the beginning." Gui Zhong looked at Zhongli and asked, his eyes seemed to flash with wisdom.
Zhongli nodded slightly and smiled calmly: "Fellow Daoist Guizhong has a keen eye. I do have a backup plan, but it just takes some time to prepare."
Gui Zhong raised his eyebrows slightly, "How long will it take?"
Zhongli hesitated for a moment and said, "Three days."
After hearing this, everyone felt a little more at ease.
"For the next three days, I'll have to trouble you all to continue guarding this place to prevent any further accidents." Zhongli looked at Lishui Dieshan Zhenjun and several other immortals and gave instructions.
Liuyun, Lishui and Xueyue all nodded in agreement.
They did not ask Zhongli what his solution was. They just had to do what the Emperor said.
For thousands of years, Emperor Geo has protected Liyue with his wisdom and strength and has never let them down. This time, they also firmly believe that the Emperor will be able to resolve the crisis again.
"Xiao, go back and guard Dihua Island. You still need to continue cleaning out the monsters and evil spirits there." Zhongli looked at Xiao and said.
Xiao nodded slightly, then disappeared in a flash.
"Aping, Ganyu..." Zhongli looked at the two women.
“Emperor, I will stay here and guard the place with Liuyun and the others. There’s no need to leave Ganyu alone. She has many things to deal with in Yuehai Pavilion. Let her go back to Liyue Harbor first.” Ah Ping said first.
Zhongli had no objection. Ganyu hesitated slightly and then nodded in agreement.
There are several immortals guarding here together, and I can't help much if I stay here. It is better to go back to Liyue Harbor to deal with the affairs.
"Shen He, follow Ganyu back to Liyue Harbor. Just a few of us are enough here." Xianyun said to Shen He.
Shen He hesitated for a moment but did not object.
Compared to accompanying her master and "mother-in-law", she would rather stay with her husband.
"Then I will go back to Liyue Harbor with Sister Shen He." Gui Zhong said with a smile.
"No, you have to accompany me and Aping. We haven't seen each other for thousands of years. How can a short half-day reunion be enough?" Xianyun immediately grabbed Guizhong's arm and refused directly.
"Haha, when old friends meet again, we should indeed spend more time together. Besides, you haven't told us about your experiences yet." Lishui Dieshan Zhenjun also said with a smile.
True Lord Xue Yue Zhu Yang also nodded in agreement.
Gui Zhong curled his lips and said helplessly: "Okay, I'll stay."
"Why do you look so reluctant? Don't you want to stay with us old friends?" Xianyun pretended to be dissatisfied.
Gui Zhong rolled his eyes and chuckled, "No, I just want to take a good look around Liyue Harbor and see the changes over the past thousand years."
"Really?" Xianyun raised his eyebrows and snorted, "We can visit Liyue Harbor anytime. Before that, you should stay with us first."
After everyone talked for a while, Ganyu and Shenhe set off to return to Liyue Harbor.
As Zhongli left, several immortals sat down in the cave of Master Lishui Dieshan to drink tea, reminiscing about the past while keeping an eye on the condition of the seal.
……
Inazuma, Yayun Island.
Inside a hidden factory in the mountains, the original roar of running machinery has ceased to sound, replaced by an eerie silence.
The lights in the factory are dim, reflecting the mottled marks on the corners of the walls, as if telling of the busyness that once existed here.
"Is this the Fatui's Evil Eye Factory? It's so gloomy. Humph, they are indeed a group of rats who can only hide in the sewers." Yae Kamiko, dressed in a pure red and white palace priestess costume, walked gracefully in the factory corridor with a look of disgust on her face.
Su Xun, who was walking side by side with Yae Shinko, did not answer her, but looked around at the surrounding environment with a curious look.
The layout here is somewhat similar to the doctor's ruins laboratory he had seen in Liyue before, but the decoration is in Inazuma's style.
"Ok?"
Not hearing Su Xun's response, Yae Shen Zi snorted softly, took hold of his hand tenderly and squeezed it gently.
"Husband, what are you thinking about?"
Su Xun came back to his senses, held the beautiful woman's white and soft hand tightly, and said with a smile: "Nothing, I was just thinking about how to transform this place into our own factory to produce some things that are useful to Inazuma."
Yae Shinko blinked her beautiful eyes and chuckled, "My husband's idea is interesting, but it requires careful planning."
The two continued to wander around the factory for a while and then left.
Ever since Inazuma carried out reforms from top to bottom, the two executives led by the Fatui - the Doctor and the Scattered Soldiers - knew that their plan could no longer be implemented in Inazuma, so they hurriedly evacuated the Evil Eye Factory on Yagyu Island to prevent Thor from taking the opportunity to wipe them out.
As for the Heart of God...
Originally, they were planning to secretly add fuel to the fire, causing constant conflict between the rebels and the shogunate army, and eventually bringing Inazuma to an unmanageable situation, so that they could maneuver in it and look for an opportunity to trade with the Thunder God to obtain the Heart of God.
But unexpectedly, the Thunder God, who had been playing badly, actually started to pay attention to Inazuma's situation, and even a variable like Su Xun appeared, disrupting all their plans.
This forced them to temporarily stop their efforts, evacuate Inazuma, and wait for the next opportunity.
The reason why Su Xun and Yae Shinko discovered this evil eye factory was because the priestesses of the Naruto Shrine had recently found some suspicious traces when they were clearing out evil gods on Yayu Island. After some investigation, they finally found this factory hidden in the mountain and immediately reported it to Yae Shinko.
Upon hearing the news, Yae Shinto was a little surprised, so he called Su Xun to come and check it out.
Now it seems that this Evil Eye Factory, apart from some ordinary equipment, has nothing of much value. We can only see how to transform it into a useful place later.
After leaving the Evil Eye Factory, Su Xun and Yae Shinko walked side by side on the beach.
The sea breeze blew gently, blowing up Yae Shenzi's pink hair. She tilted her head slightly and looked at Su Xun, her charming eyes filled with gentle love.
With handsome features and extraordinary temperament, Su Xun has become more mature and steady compared to when they first met five hundred years ago, which makes her more moved.
