Chapter 167 The Emperor is killed! Block the whole place
So in such a strange and mysterious atmosphere, the four figures slowly walked towards Yujingtai. At this moment, the place was already crowded with people who came to join in the fun, and the place was bustling and lively.
Today is the big day for the Summoning Immortal Ceremony! The bosses of various businesses generously donated money and gave their employees a day off so that they could witness this sacred ceremony with their own eyes. As a result, except for a few people who were really busy and couldn't get away, almost all the residents of Liyue Port flocked here, eager to meet the Rock King.
The people of Liyue Port were full of expectations and piety, hoping that by praying to the Rock King, they could bless their families with peace and prosperity in the future. At the same time, they also took this opportunity to express their deep respect and love for this great Rock God as his people.
In the whole Liyue, there are only two kinds of people: Emperor fans and twisted Emperor fans.
As soon as Alicia and the other three arrived, they were spotted by the Qianyan Army who were responsible for maintaining order at the scene. Their eyes were immediately focused on Alicia, as if she had some special light. After confirming their identities, the Qianyan Army walked forward without hesitation, with respectful expressions on their faces.
When they came to Alicia, they first saluted her in a standard military manner, and then said respectfully: "My lords, Lord Ningguang has specially arranged an excellent viewing position for you. Please follow me." Alicia smiled slightly. Her smile, as warm as the spring breeze, made people feel extremely comfortable. She nodded gently to show her agreement.
Then, Alicia turned around and faced Ying and Paimon. She said in a gentle tone: "Sorry, it seems that we can't act together." Ying waved her hand and said quickly: "Aili, I am very grateful that you can bring me here. I won't trouble you with the follow-up matters. Paimon and I will find a suitable location by ourselves."
Alicia responded with a smile: "Don't say that, we are friends now. If you encounter any difficulties or troubles in the future, you can always come to me." Ying and Paimon nodded repeatedly, their eyes full of gratitude towards Alicia.
After receiving Ying's reply, Alysia took Funina's hand with confidence and left with the Qianyan Army. Their figures gradually went farther and farther, and finally disappeared in the crowd.
Looking at the direction where Alicia was going, Ying couldn't help but sigh. She was filled with emotion, and she was full of curiosity and expectation for this new friend she had just met. At the same time, she secretly made up her mind that if she had the chance, she would definitely repay Alicia's kindness.
Paimon looked at the traveler sighing and flew forward to comfort him: "Hey, traveler, stop sighing! Let's find a good spot quickly. If we go too late, I'm afraid there won't even be a place to stand." Paimon waved her hand and signaled the traveler to move forward with her. The two slowly moved forward along the flow of people and finally arrived near Yujing Terrace.
Paimon wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand and muttered, "Finally I squeezed in. I'm so envious of Ai Li and the others. Maybe they are sitting comfortably in a corner right now, enjoying the cool breeze and tasting delicious food. I really don't understand what the identities of Ai Li and the others are, and how they can be escorted by the Thousand Rocks Army to attend the ceremony."
Ying showed a helpless expression when she heard this, and then said in a rather doting tone: "Do you think other people like to eat as much as you do?" After that, she sighed: "Aili looks like a lady from a wealthy family, elegant, gentle and noble."
Ying wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth and continued, "It's a good thing that we have a friend like this in Liyue. If we run into trouble in the future, we might be able to ask her for help."
Paimon complained upon hearing this: "What kind of trouble can we get into? We won't be wanted like we were in Mondstadt."
…………
On the other side, Alysia and Finina were taken to a temporary attic, but the atmosphere inside was very different from what Paimon described, and it was not so comfortable and cozy.
The reason was simple. The two of them had encountered a difficult person—Hu Tao was staring at Alicia and Funina with a fierce look, as if she would rush forward to settle accounts with them at any time. As for why Hu Tao appeared here, she was actually invited by Ningguang to serve as a consultant for this ceremony of inviting the immortals.
As an important annual ceremony, every link and every detail of the Immortal Invitation Ceremony must be pursued to the utmost perfection. Any slight mistake may lead to public criticism. Although the Immortal Invitation Ceremony has been held countless times, it cannot be taken lightly every time.
Therefore, every time at this time, the current head of the Wangsheng Hall is invited to serve as a consultant to oversee all aspects of the ceremony. Although the main business of the Wangsheng Hall is funeral affairs, in fact, the ceremony of summoning the immortals is not much different from it. As an ancient institution with a thousand-year heritage, the Wangsheng Hall is familiar with all the ancient rules that have been passed down.
At first, Ningguang thought Hu Tao was too young and wanted to ask Zhongli to check it out. However, Zhongli said that he had been invited by a friend and was really busy. After repeatedly assuring her that Hu Tao was very qualified, he had no choice but to ask her to come.
As for why Alicia was arranged together with Funina and Walnut, it was actually Ningguang's intention. She knew that there were "grudges" between them, so she arranged them together just to see Alicia have fun.
After bringing Alicia and the other two to their destination, the Qianyan Army packed up and left, leaving behind the three people staring at each other. Fortunately, the ceremony of summoning the immortals began at this time, which temporarily attracted Walnut's attention.
On the altar of the ceremony to invite the immortals, Ningguang looked up at the sun. After confirming the time, she dismissed her attendants, made a hand gesture, and then injected her rock elemental power into a huge incense burner.
Then a dazzling golden light shot straight into the sky, and a hurricane surrounded the golden light. Just as the people present were staring wide-eyed and expecting the arrival of the Rock King, the situation suddenly changed. The originally clear sky was suddenly covered by dark clouds. Accompanied by a thunder, a huge dragon corpse fell from the sky and slammed heavily on the altar.
After the smoke and dust cleared, Ningguang quickly walked to the dragon corpse and squatted down. After discovering that it was indeed dead, Ningguang stood up and took a few steps back in panic, but she immediately reacted and turned around to the Qianyan Army and said, "The emperor has been killed! Seal off the entire area!"
