Chapter 74 "Ceremony of Inviting the Immortals" (Part 2)

Paimong looked at the people crowded in front of the "Yujing Terrace" and sighed: "Wow~ There are so many people!" Then he put his hands on his waist and said to Ying: "Let's go a little further. We can't see anything clearly in the back."

When Ying just wanted to stop her from going forward...Paimong had already disappeared.

Looking at Paimong floating away with a little starlight, Ying sighed helplessly and squeezed through the crowd little by little, catching up with Paimong floating up and down in front.

It was noon at this time. Ningguang stood in front of the incense burner and looked up at the sky. After confirming the position of the sun again and again, she took a step forward and said loudly: "The auspicious time has arrived."

As soon as the voice fell, the two purple maids beside her bowed slightly and retreated, while Ningguang closed her phoenix eyes slightly, spread her hands, and the elemental power surged around her body. Four gems made of rock elements surrounded Ningguang.

As Ningguang turned back and pointed, four gems flew out and fixed on the four positions of the incense burner.

As the gems were fixed, the incense burner in the center of the "Yujing Terrace" burst into golden light and rushed into the sky, breaking through the clouds.

When the golden light disappeared, cyclones circled down from the sky, indicating that the Rock King Emperor, who was respected by the Liyue people, was about to come to the world and once again point out the direction of development for Liyue Port.

However, just when everyone present was looking forward to seeing the Emperor with their own eyes... the originally blue sky and white clouds suddenly became turbid at this moment, and the surrounding environment also dimmed, just like... a sandstorm came.

Seeing this scene, Ningguang narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly and looked up at the sky. She saw a brown dragon falling from the sky, accompanied by a loud bang, completely crushing the table with the incense burner and tributes, raising clouds of dust, and the people watching the ceremony around the "Yujing Terrace" all exclaimed.

When the smoke cleared, Ningguang stepped forward quickly and squatted to check the situation. A complicated look flashed in her red eyes, as if she was thinking... what should she do now.

The crowd watching the ceremony around also saw the dragon body lying in the center of the "Yujing Terrace". After being slightly shocked, they looked at Ningguang and the dragon body and talked about it.

"What happened to the Emperor?"

"Could it be that the Emperor has a problem with the Seven Stars?"

"Is this really the Emperor?"

...

Listening to the whispers behind her, Ningguang's eyes flashed with an imperceptible firmness. She quickly stood up, took two steps back and said: "The Emperor was killed! Seal off the whole place!"

As Ningguang finished speaking, a group of Qianyan soldiers entered from the three entrances of the "Yujing Terrace" and soon surrounded the "Yujing Terrace".

As for Mo Yu, Ke Qing and others, they were coordinated and stabilized by Gan Yu, and took on the responsibility of being the "Seven Stars of Liyue". Each of them led a team of Qianyan Army to start checking the suspicious people present.

Mo Yu's eyes narrowed slightly. He knew better than anyone what was going on with the Rock King, but... he couldn't say it now.

He glanced at Ying who was sneaking away not far away and didn't say anything. This was part of the plot... and part of the plan.

And then it was the same as the plot development in Mo Yu's impression. When Ying was about to reach the stairs... he stepped on a tile and broke it. The very crisp sound made the surrounding Qianyan Army notice Ying who was trying to run away.

After that... it was the part where "Young Master" was the hero who saved the beauty.

Looking at the Qianyan Army chasing out, Mo Yu nodded slightly. So far... nothing had happened outside of his plan.

"Mr. Moyu, please move to the "Yuehai Pavilion."

Just when Moyu was still thinking about where to find Ningguang, a female voice suddenly came from behind him. Moyu turned around and saw a secretary dressed as "Yuehai Pavilion".

Hearing this, Moyu nodded slightly and walked towards the "Yuehai Pavilion", which was also within his expectations.

This "test" was not informed to anyone in advance, and this time all the seven stars were on the "Yujing Terrace". Such a big thing must be discussed.

Following the secretary, Moyu walked to the hidden room of "Yuehai Pavilion" with ease and slowly sat in his own seat.

After a while, the remaining few people also arrived one after another. Yan Mo had a little irritation on his face, while Wang Tao, Mu Xuanji and Tian Shu looked a little heavy at this moment, and Keqing's face was very... calm.

Under this environment, the atmosphere in the room was a little heavy for a while. After an unknown amount of time, Ningguang finally spoke slowly: "Everyone...what do you think about today's accident?"

"What else can you think?" Yan Mo said irritably.

"The emperor was killed, and what we have to face now is those "Fools". If you ask me, they must have assassinated the emperor! Their actions outside Liyue Harbor some time ago are the biggest evidence!"

Mu Xuanji shook his head at this moment and said softly: "But there are no "Fools" present... If you have to say... there is only one businessman who has some connection with Zhidong."

Wang Tao nodded repeatedly and agreed: "Yes, Brother Xuanji is right. The result reported to me by my men is that 70% to 80% of the people watching the ceremony are local people in Liyue, and the rest are just some unmotivated businessmen."

"That's right..." Tianshu said softly.

"But just now there are rumors... Some people even say that the "Seven Stars of Liyue" assassinated the emperor, but these people are only a minority. What we have to do now... is to find a "reason"."

Mo Yu shook his head at this moment and said softly: "I don't think... the emperor is really in trouble."

Hearing Mo Yu's words, a look of approval appeared in her condensed phoenix eyes, but...she didn't show it openly, because this information gap was an important bargaining chip for her in the game with the "fools".

Mo Yu's words instantly made him the focus of everyone, and after feeling everyone's gaze, he asked softly: "Everyone here...should know the "Salt Demon God" Heulia, right?"

Although this information is a secret-level historical fact for the people of Liyue, it does not mean that no one present knows it, such as... the "Tianji Star".

Mu Xuanji nodded slightly, seeming to understand what Mo Yu meant, and then explained: "The "Salt Demon God" Heulia, the demon god who was killed by her own people, the power that escaped when she died killed everyone. Turned into table salt.”

Mo Yu nodded and continued: "The emperor is much stronger than the "Salt Demon God". If the emperor is really... then maybe all the creatures in Liyue will be petrified... ..”

"Of course, this is just my conjecture. It may also be because of the so-called "catastrophes" recorded in ancient books."

After listening to Mo Yu's words, everyone present fell into deep thought, but Ke Qing stood up at this moment and said: "No matter whether the emperor... passed away, this matter represents one thing on the bright side: The time for immortals has passed."

"If even we, the Seven Stars, are in disarray at this time because of the emperor's departure and don't dare to face this point..."

"What about Liyue's future?"

Keqing's words sounded like thunder in everyone's ears. The people in this room were all people who stood at the top of Liyue's power. If they were all confused because of the emperor's departure... then Liyue was the real one. There is no future.

Mo Yu took over Ke Qing's words and continued: "Everyone, I personally think... there are only two things that need to be done urgently now:"

"First, look for clues, catch the murderer, and see if it's the guy from the Fools who are here to stir up trouble."

"The second is... the "Send-off Ceremony". In the past, Liyue held a "Send-off Ceremony" for the immortals who passed away. The same is true for the emperor... This is what we should pay attention to."

After hearing the speeches of Mo Yu and Ke Qing, Ning Guang nodded appreciatively and continued: "In that case... then I will leave the matter of "Sending the Immortal Ceremony" to you, Mo Yu."

Mo Yu nodded lightly and said nothing.

After a brief silence, Ningguang said calmly: "Since everyone has no questions...then go back to your positions and perform your duties."

"The death of the emperor, the restless "fools" and dragon lizards... these problems need to be solved urgently. Everyone, please take action."

After Ning Guang said this, Mu Xuanji and others left the room one after another, while Mo Yu kept sitting steadily in his seat. He waited until everyone left before asking:

"Teacher...did you expect this?"

Ningguang shook his head slightly and said softly: "No... On the contrary, I was also surprised. It all happened too suddenly, but... at that time, I also thought of the death of the "Salt Demon God" , but what happened to the emperor...I don’t know.”

"What I can do...is try to contain them."

Of course, Mo Yu knew who Ning Guang was referring to in his words, but he didn't say anything about it. Instead, he stood up and said: "I will look for the "Send Immortal Ceremony"..." Let’s discuss with each other at the “Place of Purity”, I just met that traveler on the “Jade Capital Terrace”...”

Ning Guang nodded lightly and said: "I know...she seems to have gone to Jueyunjian to visit the immortals now. As for what happens next...I will talk to Kaiyangxing."

"By the way, teacher, the "Ancestral Slaughter" should be placed in..."

"The House of Gold."

After receiving Ningguang's reply, Mo Yu nodded slightly, then left the room and went straight to the "Palace of Rebirth".

As he walked on the road, he couldn't help but reveal a wry smile. He looked up at the sun hanging in the middle and whispered softly:

"You know everything but you continue to plan... If you can't do this kind of work in the future, it's better not to do it..."
