Holy Lord from Teyvat

Chapter 192 The journey continues

After finishing this sumptuous midnight snack, Zheng Tian said goodbye.

Before leaving, Ying still expressed that the Abyss Cult welcomes Zheng Tian to join at any time.

Zheng Tian: "Forget about that. Please say hello to Ying for me."

After they parted, Zheng Tian came to Wangshu Inn, released Xiao Ming, and then found a secluded spot on the tree.

Naturally, he just sent ninja soldiers to track him.

About half an hour later, the ninja soldiers followed them to the entrance of a cave.

"Hmm? Can't get through?"

From the ninja's perspective, Ying and the others had already entered the cave, but the ninja soldiers in the shadows were blocked at the entrance by an unknown force.

The ninja sent another message: it can be worn, but the resistance is very great.

"It seems that they have taken precautions. Even without righteous magic, they were able to make such an arrangement. It is really great."

"But it doesn't seem to be a big problem."

Then the ninja stuck his head out, looked around to make sure there was no one around, and then emerged from the shadows.

Lift your foot, step over, step into the shadow area beside your feet, and dive in again.

Okay, problem solved.

"Hehe, the power of the abyss is indeed strong and evil, but it is not a professional counterpart of air magic after all, and can't arrange the defense measures that Daddy set up in the antique shop." (Not to mention the Black Shadow Corps, Daddy can even set up defense magic to defend against Ximu who had just been released from prison, and Ximu had to transform into a human form to deceive Xiaoyu in order to steal back his tail.)

The ninja soldier moved forward again, turned a corner, and then found that there was no road.

Zheng Tian had no choice but to call back the ninja soldiers: "Smart, use defensive means to resist the ninja soldiers' shuttle. If the ninja soldiers want to cross over, they have to wait for you to turn the corner and then come out from the shadows. This period of time is enough for you to use space means to slip away. Besides, there is no point in squatting in this way."

Put yourself in their shoes. If it were me, the destination of this teleportation might not even be the stronghold. I would definitely teleport multiple times between multiple pre-set defense points before I would feel at ease to go to the stronghold.

It is impossible for a stronghold to have only one way out, so waiting there would be useless.

……

The Abyss Cult's base somewhere in Liyue.

Ying and his men teleported several times and finally arrived here.

After confirming that she was not being followed, she asked her men, "Did you all see what happened at the beginning?"

Apostle of the Abyss: "Yes, Your Highness."

Abyss Singer: "His flames are indeed extraordinary. They can even burn the abyssal energy on bubbles."

Ying: "What a pity, I didn't see him touch the bubble directly."

Xiao Ming's appearance was an accident and he had to be captured to prevent any noise.

But the abyss energy deliberately applied on the bubble to trap Xiao Ming provided an opportunity to test the nature of Zheng Tian's power.

Just like Kong now has to fight a big battle to fight the last executive officer, but his own power can help Wendy purify the abyss curse on Tevarin, special attacks are always impossible to ignore. What the abyss energy means to Zheng Tian can determine their attitude towards Zheng Tian.

The result of the test was that Zheng Tian seemed to easily eliminate the abyss energy on the bubble, and also revealed a means of binding the soul.

Ying: "If we really want to take action in the future, we must be well prepared. We need to have sufficient abyssal energy, and it would be best if we also have some soul protection."

This casual test did not use much energy, and its performance could not be used to conclude that they had no way to deal with Zheng Tian. Wouldn't it take a long time for Kong to purify the curse on Tevarin?

Besides, it’s not necessarily that the other party just casually solved the problem, they just didn’t see it.

Apostle of the Abyss: "Your Highness, Zheng Tian said that we should not sabotage him in front of him. This proves that he may not necessarily oppose us in the future."

The Singer of the Abyss nodded in agreement. "Yes, as long as it works well, he may not stand against us in the future. The most urgent task is the experimental plan."

Ying collected her thoughts and said, "Is the eye of the world's first tiller still missing?"

Abyss Apostle: "We have mobilized a large number of people. According to the clues we have so far, we speculate that they are probably in Liyue and Mondstadt."

Ying: "Keep searching, the sooner the better."

At this time, the Singer of the Abyss also spoke up: "Um, Your Highness, there is a little problem with the Demon God."

Ying: "What's the situation?"

The Abyss Singer said awkwardly: "Osel, it seems he has already run away."

Ying: “Run away?”

Singer of the Abyss: "We found that Osel's breath has become very weak. According to speculation, he has probably escaped the seal."

Ying: "With Osel's ability, it's impossible for him to escape after being hit by Zheng Tian. It seems that he has raised the white flag and surrendered."

The Abyss Apostle cursed: "I see, this Osel is really spineless."

Singer of the Abyss: "It seems that octopuses really do have no bones."

Apostle of the Abyss: "Isn't he a demon god?"

Singer of the Abyss: "You are so stupid. Can't I just think about it?"

Ying: "...Osel wouldn't be so weak as to surrender to Morax, otherwise he would have fled as soon as he got out instead of attacking Liyue Harbor. I think Osel actually surrendered to Zheng Tian."

The Singer of the Abyss said with a headache, "It's him again. He said he didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but he hindered the cult's plan."

Now that Osel has become Zheng Tian's little brother, it would be inconvenient for me to take action.

Apostle of the Abyss: "Your Highness, should we change our target to other demon gods?"

Ying thought for a while, then raised the corner of her mouth slightly: "We can change, but we still have to look for Osel's trace."

……

With the lesson from Mond last time, even though he confirmed that the opponent was Ying and could not be at a disadvantage to Kong, Zheng Tian did not lose his vigilance.

He summoned a ninja in the wild and looked at the contents of the letter from the ninja's perspective.

There was no important news in the letter. It was simply Ying telling Kong not to worry, that she was fine, and other good news, and not to go against the Abyss Cult.

Afterwards, Zheng Tian took the letter himself, confirmed that there was no problem before returning home and running to the empty bedroom door.

"Get up! Get up! Get up quickly!"

Soon, not only Kong, but Zheng Tian's shouting woke everyone up from their dreams.

Kong got up from the bed with a resentful look on his face, straightened his pajamas, put on his slippers, and walked to the door, muttering, "What happened again?"

I don’t know if Zheng Tian heard his whispers, but he shouted outside the door: “There’s news about Ying!”

Kong: (⊙_⊙)!

Am I dreaming? No, not a dream!!!

Sora rushed towards the door, and in his panic he even threw one of his slippers out, causing him to almost fall.

Barefoot, he hurriedly opened the door, then grabbed Zheng Tian's shoulders and shook him.

His face was filled with anxiety and hope, and he almost shouted, "Where is she? Where is Ying?!"

……

In the hall, Sora nervously read the photos and letters with the curious crowd, and his expression gradually calmed down a little.

No one cared about this, after all, the biggest purpose of this trip was to find Ying. So even though Mona and the others were women, they just adjusted their pajamas a little, made sure they wouldn't expose themselves, and then hurried out.

Zheng Tian sighed secretly, Kong really missed Ying.

Also, everyone has formal pajamas, am I the only one who only wears shorts to sleep at night? Who did Xiao Wu learn this from, Mona or Paimon?

After reading the letter, Kong was still a little excited, but he did not forget the main thing: "This is Ying's handwriting. I can even sense that Ying was not in pain when she wrote the letter. She was even looking forward to meeting me again."

Mona: "It's amazing that you can sense my mood. Xiaowu, can you sense anything?"

Wu: "I can't sense any breath. This may be the strange induction between the twins."

Zheng Tian: "Let me ask again, are you sure Ying is okay?"

Sora: “Yeah.”

Paimon: "Zheng Tian, ​​where did you get this letter?"

Zheng Tian: "The story starts from yesterday."

Zheng Tian modified the story slightly and told it slowly, and by the way informed him of the relationship between the Abyss Cult and Kanreya.

Knowing that Zheng Tian was going to the meeting alone, everyone felt a little scared.

Zheng Tian was very strong, which was acknowledged by even Wendy and Zhongli. But the Abyss Cult was also very terrifying and full of unknowns. No one dared to determine whether the Abyss Cult could successfully ambush Zheng Tian.

"…This is the situation. Now that Sora can confirm that Ying is fine, I feel much more relieved."

Mona said worriedly, "So, do we really want to let Gauss meet the other party?"

Kong looked at Ying's photo and gritted his teeth and said, "No, the cult's expectations of Gao Si far exceed our expectations. No one knows what they will do when the time comes. Zheng Tian might be in danger."

"Although I can't detect anything more, I can basically confirm that Ying is fine. We must not be radical. Holding more chips in our hands will give us more possibilities."

The abyss is too evil. Even though Kong misses Ying, he won't allow his companions to take risks like this.

Zheng Tian: "So, just leave it alone?"

Kong took a deep breath. "Ying told me to continue my journey in the letter. Although I don't know her intention, I feel relieved knowing that she is fine. Let's continue our journey."
