He squatted down and felt the ice that had not yet melted by the sea water with his hands.
The mysterious man murmured to himself: "The power seems to contain something else..."
But no matter how he guessed, he didn't get any confirmation.
Finally I left for Mondstadt.
…
Xian Yu, who flew to Liyue, was about to go back to deal with the harvest, but a few shells suddenly shot from the ground.
The ice blocked the shells, and he looked down.
A beautiful girl with blond hair similar to Sora's outfit was sitting on the hand of a ruins guard. Next to her were two abyssal apostles about three meters tall and wearing armor.
Seeing this, Xian Yu understood that the other party was probably looking for trouble.
He killed one at Yingxiang Beach, and also killed another when he was fleeing Yuling, although the other party didn't know his true identity at that time.
After landing, Xian Yu looked at the girl opposite who stepped down from the ruins guard.
"It's an honor to meet you, 'Her Royal Highness'" she said and made a gesture of placing one hand on her chest.
"Looking at you, you actually know me?"
Ying was a little surprised, she didn't remember meeting the person opposite her.
"That's right, because I have a friend who looks a bit like you, and he is still looking for his sister. If my prediction is correct, your name should be 'Ying'."
"I just didn't expect that Your Highness, whom I heard your subordinates talking about before, would actually be Sora's sister."
Although Xian Yu's tone contained many uncertain words, his expression was indeed unusually sure.
Hearing the name Kong, even Ying, who was the leader of "Abyss", no longer looked arrogant.
Xianyu knew Kong, and Ying knew that if this guy hadn't killed her own people, she wouldn't bother to care about it. After all, he had some relationship with her brother.
His tone was calm and his face was slightly softer: "It seems that you do have some skills. You dare to determine my identity based on this little information."
"So when I come to see you this time, you should know my purpose, right?"
nodded.
"Well, I probably know why you are here, but why don't you go see Kong first? He has been looking for information about you."
Whether she sees Kong or not, Ying has her own plans in mind. Even she herself wants to meet her brother, but not now.
"I don't need you to remind me about this. The person who killed me, because you and my brother are friends, I won't cause trouble for you, but... you still have to hand over the Original Stone."
Playing the emotional card seems to be unworkable, Xian Yu sighed inwardly.
If it's something else, just give it. Maybe it can leave a good impression in front of you, which will be conducive to cooperation.
It's just that this Primordial Stone... is what he needs to advance.
Whoever blocks his way forward is the enemy! Not even the "Abyss"!
"We actually don't need to be like this, and seeing that you are coming with your men, you are also on guard. I guess you already know about my previous battle."
"A fight would do no good to either of us. I have a deal. I believe you will be satisfied."
Trading? Ying actually became a little interested.
"Indeed, your strength is not bad... tell me, what kind of deal is it?"
Without further ado, Xian Yu waved his hand, and a collapsed ruins guard appeared on the ground.
Touching the ruins guard: "I know from some people that you are making a plan, and you need the eyes of the "Initial Cultivator". Take a look at this thing...does it look familiar? Does it suit your liking?"
As soon as the cultivator appeared, the two apostles of the abyss wanted to take action.
The next moment, the ruins guard disappeared again.
"Don't be so excited. If possible, I don't want to fight with you. When the battle fluctuations attract the attention of the gods, I believe you are not willing to see it."
"And... after all, your Highness is also Kong's sister. Speaking of our relationship, we are not enemies, but just have some conflicts of interest.
Am I right? Your Highness."
These words made Ying keep looking at Xian Yu, and she had to say that what the other party said was indeed reasonable.
Now is not the time for her to show up. It is not a good thing to attract the attention of the gods.
The key is that Xian Yu is really not easy to deal with, and what he has is what he needs.
He raised his hand to silence his subordinates: "The thing is indeed what I want. In this case, give me the cultivator and pretend that what happened before has never happened..."
Xian Yu: "No, no, no, I think Your Highness may have some misunderstanding. I don't owe you anything. I got the Original Stone with my strength. If your men want to snatch it, they should know the consequences."
"You don't understand this, do you?"
That makes sense, but I won't be led around either.
"What you mean is that as long as I am stronger than you, I can attack you, right?"
It's going to happen!
It's a bit too much. Although he is not afraid of the two abyss apostles, Xian Yu doesn't know Ying's strength, so he probably can't beat them.
"That's not true, I'm just saying a truth. Just like me, if I wasn't strong enough at that time, do you think I would still be standing here safe and sound?"
"Robbing treasures involves the risk of life and death. I understand this, you understand it, and your subordinates also understand it. But he still chooses to do this, and he will naturally have to bear the consequences."
The battle will break out at any time, and the ice crystal butterfly above the head doesn't even flap its wings.
Speaking of which, Xian Yu also gave her final advice. If Ying still chose to take action, then he could only accompany her.
The atmosphere was somewhat tense, and both sides looked at each other.
"That's right. We are indeed not enemies. In that case... tell me, what do you want from me?"
Xian Yu's expression remained calm on the surface, but he felt relaxed in his heart.
His tone was calm: "I need the 'Original Stone'."
The requirements are not excessive. Compared with the Eye of the Cultivator, the Starting Stone is one level lower.
However, the Primordial Stone is not that difficult to obtain even for her, and she also needs it. It is an important source of power.
I thought about it for a while.
"I don't have the original stone, otherwise I wouldn't have come to see you in person for this matter."
Upon hearing this, Xian Yu was a little disappointed, but Ying's next words cheered him up.
"I really can't give you the Original Stone, but... I do have the 'Dark Magic Stone'."
"You want the original stone, presumably because of the energy in it. There is also energy in the 'Dark Magic Stone'. You can see if the talisman meets your needs."
Ying took out a pitch black stone and threw it towards Xian Yu.
Black magic stone? What is this?
But what Ying said was indeed true. He wanted the Original Stone just for the energy inside. If it wasn't for the energy that would help him, he wouldn't even want to look at it more.
He sucked the black stone floating in the air into his hand.
Holding it in hand and looking at it carefully, there is nothing surprising. This thing is just like a broken stone on the roadside.
