Fu She saw this and quickly dodged, retreating several meters and narrowly avoiding Xiao's attack. Before he could even catch his breath, Xiao used three rapid teleports in mid-air, delivering a kick to Fu She's chest.
"Good heavens, are you sure this isn't full HP? Plunging attacks refresh the skill, right? No, that's not right either, I remember you can only do that when there are two or more enemies."
Lu Ze muttered to himself. Then he thought about it, it made sense. This wasn't a game, but reality. Who knew what else he could do?
On the battlefield, Xiao's unexpected fighting style caused Fu She, who had originally held the advantage, to gradually fall into a losing position. He could no longer hold on and fell to the ground.
"I never imagined, in these hundred years, you've grown so much. I am ultimately just a relic of the past… Jinpeng! Go all out. Your brothers and sisters will always support you from behind. Even if irreversible consequences occur, we will do our utmost to prevent tragedy."
Suddenly, Xiao's hand reached out. Fu She smiled slightly, extended his right hand, and grasped it. Xiao then pulled him up with force.
"Fu She, we'll meet again in the not-too-distant future."
With that, he walked towards the large door. Watching the receding figure, Fu She managed a weak smile. In the end, he hadn't been of any help, had he?
The people behind them followed. After passing through the final door, they were faced with a small disc floating in the air, the Tai Wei Yi Pan.
This must be the true Tai Wei Yi Pan. In order to prevent it from being discovered, the Tai Wei Yi Pan had created many decoys to obstruct the enemy's vision.
With this item, they could leave this place. And as long as it was taken away from here, the seal would be broken. This would achieve the first step.
"Everyone, are you ready? If you are, we will leave this place."
A faint green light slowly emanated from Xiao, mixed with strands of black. The Anemo element he used was tainted with karma.
However, seeing the color, Xiao frowned slightly. Then, the black in the pale green slowly dissipated, turning into pure Anemo.
"Everyone, form a circle. Don't get separated. Prepare to leave this place! General Jinpeng, enter the formation!"
As the Anemo energy was infused, the Tai Wei Yi Pan trembled slightly, but it had no effect whatsoever. Not even the slightest change.
Xiao was a little incredulous. Why was this happening? Had there been a mistake somewhere? It was truly perplexing.
"If I'm not mistaken, it's missing a certain power. If what my family said is true, the Tai Wei Yi Pan should belong to my family. It was a gift from an adeptus, but we only have the right to use it."
Yelan's words directly reminded Xiao. Yes, who was by Fu She's side in that battle of the past? It was a human!
Xiao's gaze turned to Yelan, who looked back. Pale blue energy gathered in her hand, and she quickly infused it into the Tai Wei Yi Pan. After a short while, a pale blue magic circle appeared on the ground.
Then, like an elevator, everyone slowly rose with the blue magic circle. The surroundings quickly became much darker. In no time, except for the people beside them, they could see almost nothing.
An adeptus and a human worked together to maintain the strength of the Tai Wei Yi Pan formation, swiftly traversing the darkness.
But where there's expectation, there's often disappointment.
Suddenly, countless black energies appeared from below, like vengeful spirits of death, rapidly surging upwards. In a short while, the spirits struck the blue magic circle with great force.
Blow after blow. If this continued, in less than half an hour, the platform would be destroyed, and everyone would fall into the embrace of darkness.
"This cannot go on any longer! Lu Ze! Everything is up to you. Do not disappoint me."
Xiao quickly handed the Tai Wei Yi Pan over to Lu Ze. Then, with a flash of green light in his hand, everyone was forcibly teleported outside, leaving Xiao alone.
"Wait!"
Lu Ze disappeared before he could even say it.
Looking at the crumbling platform, a wry smile flashed across Xiao's face. In the end, they couldn't reunite. I'm sorry… This time, I'll go first.
With a crack, the platform shattered like glass and fell rapidly.
As Xiao had no point of support, he naturally plummeted downwards. He looked at the faint light above with a sense of reluctance.
Suddenly, a beam of yellow light descended like a savior, rapidly spinning. It then struck directly into Xiao's body.
Geo elemental energy filled him, and a Geo elemental mark appeared.
The next moment, Xiao landed on the ground. The people around him were Lu Ze and the others, who had just emerged.
"Are you alright? Xiao!"
Although he knew that the Geo Archon would not abandon his last child, he was still a little worried, concerned that something might have happened to him.
After all, he still wanted to see how touching it would be to see Xiao reunited with his other Yaksha siblings.
"I am fine… Are you all alright?"
Feeling the Archon's power, Xiao quickly looked around, searching for the Archon's figure. But no matter how hard he looked, he couldn't find him.
On a high mountain, Zhongli gently adjusted his robes. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly sensed an aura from below.
His brow furrowed slightly, and his gaze quickly scanned the ground. Soon, he spotted what should have been the Tai Wei Yi Pan from below.
A sense of unease immediately arose. If this thing was here, wouldn't that mean the seal below… had been broken?
The seriousness of the situation made Zhongli restless. After all, he knew that not only monsters were suppressed below, but even a Demon God.
If he were to be released, Liyue would be in turmoil, and the world would fall into chaos. Fortunately, he had arrived here, or he wouldn't have known such a serious matter had occurred.
However, the people below had not yet had enough rest. Some were still struggling to catch their breath when they suddenly felt the ground tremble. Could it be that something was about to emerge?
Suddenly, a small cave appeared in the ground, and a corpse-like creature slowly crawled out. It looked like a dead person who, for some reason, had turned into a zombie or something similar.
The disappearance of the Tai Wei Yi Pan had also loosened the original seal, making it easier to break through.
After all, even this half-human, half-ghost, half-zombie creature could pry open the ground. Not to mention others. This was likely to be a difficult battle, but there was no choice. For the peace of the world, for their brothers and sisters, they had to fight.
