Chapter 1001 Change of Plan
……
After an unknown amount of time, Istaru saw that the boundary between life and death had gradually stabilized, and immediately talked about killing Shao Yun's elevator.
She said with a determined look, "Next, we must have a good discussion about this evil Shao Yun! He absolutely cannot be left here!"
However, seeing Istaru's eagerness, Ronawa couldn't help but sneer in her heart. She taunted, "You really have forgotten the pain after the wound has healed!"
"If you have the ability, use your time authority to go back in time and kill that guy named Shao Yun, okay?"
When Istaru heard what Ronawa said, her expression instantly turned ugly.
She certainly knew that her authority over time could not be used at all without the God of Wind, and now she could only act according to the established rules.
Istaru's true colors were exposed by Ronawa, and she pursed her lips tightly, the air pressure around her becoming frighteningly low.
"I think you're just a coward!" She deliberately dragged out her tone and said contemptuously.
"What? Just because he carries the same power of death as you, you're afraid? You don't even have the courage to take action?"
Ruona simply crossed her arms over her stomach, completely ignoring the provocation. Her eyes were calm, unmoved by Istaru's provocation.
"I've said it many times, he didn't rebel against the order of heaven!"
"Don't provoke him. Isn't it better to just stay quiet? Or do you just not understand what people are saying?"
"Behave yourself?" Istaru suddenly became excited as if he had heard a huge joke. His voice became a few notches higher and he spoke without restraint in a hurry.
"As the wear and tear intensifies, if we don't break this damned cycle of Teyvat, we will ultimately be doomed to destruction!"
"Shao Yun is a variable, a disaster! If we keep him, he will become a serious threat sooner or later!"
"Break the cycle?" Ruonawa caught the key word, her pupils suddenly shrank, and her eyes were fixed on Istaru.
"Wait a minute, you mean to say you want to break the rules set by heaven?"
"Istaru, are you planning a rebellion?"
Istaru obviously realized that he had let the cat out of the bag and was about to explain himself, but Rhinedot beside him suddenly coughed lightly and interrupted calmly, trying to smooth things over.
After all, to some extent, she and Istaru are on the same side.
"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. The boundary between life and death has been stabilized for the time being."
She paused, her eyes sweeping over the lingering traces of abyssal aura around her. Then, she changed the subject and let a meaningful smile curl her lips: "But, this remaining abyssal power, hehe..."
Having said that, Rhinedot deliberately raised his eyebrows, his eyes vaguely falling on Istaru.
She knew clearly that Istaru could not use her authority at the moment, but she insisted on bringing up the matter, deliberately asking in a joking tone:
"How about, Istaru, you use your authority to completely remove this Wuwang Slope from time? Wouldn't that solve the problem once and for all?"
Istar realized that Reindorte was covering for her, and quickly responded with a disdainful look:
"Hmph, just like what that intelligent abyss monster said, the Wind God is dead, and Asmodai is nowhere to be found. I can't cut through this space, let alone give it a separate time!"
Seeing this, Rhinedot showed a look of regret on his face, and said with pretended regret:
"Oh, this is really too bad..."
After all, Rhinedot's interruption successfully diverted Rhonawa's attention, so that she did not continue to ask about what Istaru had just said.
In this way, the originally tense atmosphere eased a little.
As for how to deal with Shao Yun's problem, it was temporarily shelved due to Rhinedort's interference.
All three Kage chose not to mention the matter again, instead shifting their attention to other matters.
However, although on the surface the contradiction seems to have been temporarily concealed, it actually still exists.
Just like a seed buried deep underground, it will one day break through the soil and trigger greater conflicts and crises.
……
Let’s not talk about the boundary between life and death at Wuwangpo for now.
Shao Yun rode the Apocalypse horse "Famine" and brought Ying and Paimon back to Liyue Harbor at an astonishing speed before noon.
However, Shao Yun wanted to prevent the "famine" from causing panic in Liyue Harbor and causing unnecessary trouble.
So, before entering Liyue Harbor, the group dismounted and prepared to walk.
Only after the Apocalypse horse "Famine" galloped away like a gust of wind and disappeared into the distance did Shao Yun feel relieved.
He then looked at the port of Liyue Harbor, touched his chin thoughtfully, and turned to Ying and said:
"I'm afraid we'll have to make some adjustments to our previous plans."
"Originally, we planned to go directly to Xumi by land, but now it seems that the life and death boundary of Wuwangpo has been bombed, and it is obviously not safe there."
"So, we need to change our route and take a boat to the port of Omos in Xumi to meet Kawi first."
"After that, we'll go from Xumi to Fontaine, then return to Xumi, cross the desert, and finally arrive at Nata..."
As for why we didn’t take the road through the Abyss to get to Xumi... the reason is simple: the children couldn’t stand the bumps!
Upon hearing this, Ying nodded in agreement.
"Well, this is indeed safer."
Paimon also echoed: "No problem!"
……
After briefly confirming the plan, Shao Yun and his group hurried back to Qun Yu Pavilion to pack up their things and make preparations before leaving.
After ascending the Jade Pavilion, Shao Yun stopped before entering and turned to Ying and Paimeng and said:
"Ying, Paimon, the two of you go inform Sora and pack all the baby supplies for the child."
"I'm going to go find Ningguang first to see if there's anything I need to tell her. After that, I'll go to the port to see if there are any ships heading to Xumi."
Ying nodded, agreed, and said, "Okay, no problem!"
After explaining everything, Shao Yun, Ying and Paimeng split up to ensure everything was ready.
……
At this moment, in the Qun Yu Pavilion, Ningguang sat behind her spacious desk, concentrating on processing various government documents while carefully reviewing the detailed report on the operating status of her businesses.
For Ningguang today, pleasing Shao Yun is certainly important, but she also knows that she cannot neglect her job.
Just as Ningguang felt a little tired, she raised her head slightly and gently rubbed her slightly sore neck, she saw Shao Yun slowly walking towards her.
In an instant, Ningguang stood up abruptly, subconsciously crossed her hands in front of her abdomen, and lowered her eyes slightly.
She said in a slightly reserved tone, "Mr. Shao Yun, is there anything I can tell you about?"
Shao Yun stared at Ningguang, who looked like a frightened bird, and waved his hand, signaling Ningguang not to be so nervous, and then said softly:
"To make a long story short, if I can leave here today, I will leave immediately. So, I came here specially to inform you."
When Ningguang heard that Shao Yun was leaving, her heart suddenly tightened. She quickly raised her head and looked at Shao Yun in astonishment.
"Why are you leaving so soon? Have I neglected your family in some way?"
In fact, Shao Yun’s original plan was to hide in Liyue for a few days and leave after Ying’s body fully recovered.
But, in this situation, if we don’t leave quickly, something bad might happen!
"I won't hide it from you. The boundary between life and death in Wuwangpo was blown up." Shao Yun said solemnly.
"I must leave Liyue now before I get into more trouble."
"Anyway, my child's full moon banquet has already been held, and I won't get involved in Liyue's politics. You can do whatever you want."
Ningguang was stunned when she heard this. She had no idea about this so-called "boundary between life and death".
After all, she is essentially a businessman, not an alchemist, and knows very little about such mysterious things. At most, she knows some Feng Shui tips that can bring wealth.
"Wuwangpo, the boundary between life and death was blown up? What does this mean?" Ningguang asked in confusion.
Shao Yun looked at Ningguang, who looked bewildered. She clearly knew nothing about the events at Wuwangpo. He muttered helplessly, "Well, it seems you really don't know..."
Shao Yun then used the most straightforward and simple language to explain to Ningguang the current situation of Wuwangpo.
"To put it simply, something has happened at Wuwangpo. The place is now filled with a thick aura of death, and the aura of the abyss is also raging. I think you can understand what I mean by that."
After listening to Shao Yun's explanation, Ningguang's heart suddenly tightened, and she immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.
This is not just a small trouble, but a major event comparable to the return of the old demon "Osel" and the Baqa Rebellion!
Although Ningguang covets power and wealth, she knows in her heart that the stability of Liyue is the most important thing.
Without a stable social environment, how can she make money with peace of mind?
Various countermeasures flashed through Ningguang's mind rapidly. Her beautiful eyes just moved slightly, and she had a rough plan in mind.
"Thank you for your reminder. I understand now."
"I will immediately deploy personnel to seal off Wuwang Slope and arrange for the residents of Qingce Village to evacuate as quickly as possible and seek refuge in Chenyu Valley."
……
Seeing that he had finished notifying everyone he needed to, Shao Yun planned to go to the port of Liyue Harbor to see if there were any ships heading to Xumi.
In fact, he could have asked Ningguang to help arrange it. After all, with Ningguang's ability, it was not difficult to do such a thing.
But he knew in his heart that the problem of Wuwangpo was what Ningguang should focus on most, and he had to prioritize.
Don't distract people...
"Well, good luck..." Shao Yun said, turning around and about to leave.
Ningguang looked at his receding figure and quickly called out to him.
"Wait a minute! Is there anything else I need to do?"
Shao Yun didn't turn around and replied calmly, "No, you should focus on handling the Wuwangpo matter."
Hearing that Shao Yun didn't need any help, Ningguang didn't dare to end it like that. She quickly said, "I'll transfer the money to you through the Adventurer's Guild!"
When Shao Yun heard the word "remittance", there was no special expression on his face. He said indifferently: "It's up to you. Now, I'm leaving!"
Ningguang stood there, watching his figure gradually moving away until it disappeared from her sight. She sighed softly and turned back to attend to the affairs of Wuwangpo.
But my heart always feels empty.
How long can Shao Yun's reputation last? Will he be able to use the power of the tiger to bully others for long enough to digest the wealth he has acquired?
