Liyue Port, a few minutes ago.

There is indeed a strange power on the Ning family ruins. Although Ning Yu has no way to collect it, he has always been able to detect it.

After what the man in white from the Privy Council said, Ning Yu also understood that the power was the contaminated earth veins.

That empty bottle... Ning Yu took it, but kept it in mind.

Why would the dignified Privy Councilor [White Clothes] want to collect the power of contaminated earth veins?

And... he asked himself to go to Tianqiu Valley just to deal with those Qiuqiu people who were possessed by black mist?

Regarding these strange phenomena, Ning Yu did not completely follow Bai Yi's ideas, but made some changes.

In fact, there are not many changes. He just merged the power of the earth veins from the Ning family ruins with some of his own immortal magic.

After that, he rushed to the Privy Council, but he didn't expect that Ningzhe was here, and the white man in front of him seemed to have changed.

...

Privy Council, top floor.

Looking at the gray matter flying all around him, Ningzhe's expression became unusually serious.

The power of this polluted earth vein is different from the previous golden power.

Although the power of golden earth veins is powerful, it has no diffusion. It can only cannibalize other powers but cannot [infect].

This kind of gray... Ningzhe controls the formation of the Privy Council, so he can feel very intuitively that some areas of the formation have been assimilated. If this continues, he will soon lose control of the formation.

"Ningzhe, what's going on?"

After using his body skills to escape directly to Ningzhe, Ning Yu frowned and spoke.

"It sounds a bit complicated... I'm also curious about why you are here?"

After holding [Hunyuan] in hand to repair the gaps in the formation, Ningzhe sighed, with a somewhat helpless tone.

The point is...if you had come a little later, this matter would have been solved...

Looking at Ji Ting's current appearance, I'm afraid it's no longer something that he and Ning Yu can solve.

"I went to the Privy Council to find out the truth about the Ning family back then, but I didn't expect that it would turn into this situation..."

Ning Yu was unambiguous, summoned the long sword and looked at the man in white.

"As far as I know, humans cannot control the power of earth veins... So, is this guy Yunfu?"

"Of course he is not Yunfu...but those things are too complicated. Let's solve the things in front of us first."

Ningzhe agreed, and then his expression became serious.

[Hunyuan] The areas that can be repaired have reached the upper limit, but it still cannot keep up with the speed of gray matter devouring it.

If this continues, he will soon be able to break through the formation, and even be able to counter Ning Zhe and use the formation for his own use.

"If that's the case...then, I have a way."

Seeing the gray matter that was constantly advancing, Ning Yu spoke thoughtfully.

"The power of the earth's veins in the bottle was partially enchanted by me. If he were not a human being..."

"Understood."

Before Ning Yu finished speaking, Ning Zhe immediately took action and used all his strength to activate the formation to put pressure on Ji Ting.

"Oh? Are you planning to burn the boat?"

Seeing the changes in the formation, Ji Ting smiled disdainfully, then raised his hand, and the gray matter followed suit.

"..."

Seeing Ningzhe activating the formation without saying a word, the mocking look on Jiting's face became even more intense.

This kind of counterattack cannot possibly pose the slightest threat to him...

Well!

Suddenly, bits of wind elements emerged from Ji Ting's body, and then the wind elements began to spread, burying his entire body in it.

The next second, Ning Yu appeared behind the wind element. He raised his long sword, the thick and pure water element attached to it, and slashed at it fiercely.

The wind element cage shattered, and at the same time, the long sword cut off the arm of the man in white.

"Is that... the power of immortal magic? No, you can't be an immortal, you..."

Ji Ting felt the burning sensation coming from his arm, but he didn't react for a moment.

The power of the earth's veins lost the control of its owner and returned to the empty bottle, as if nothing happened just now.

The water element turned into a cage, and after completely shutting the man in white inside, Ning Yu clapped his hands and said, "I am indeed not an immortal, but as a Liyue person, isn't it strange that I can learn some immortal magic?"

"Yes, it's not surprising at all."

Ningzhe also temporarily let go of his control over the formation, walked to Ning Yu's side, shaped his mental power into a spear, and pointed it at the man in white in the water prison.

"Tell me where Yunfu's soul has gone."

"..."

In the water prison, the man in white didn't say anything. Through the pure water element, Ningzhe could clearly see that he lowered his head.

"interesting..."

Suddenly, he raised his head, his eyes full of teasing.

"The young man hiding downstairs is your friend?"

"Um?"

Hearing this, Ningzhe frowned slightly and subconsciously released his mental power to explore the entire Privy Council.

However, he couldn't find anything.

"Haha... There is an old saying in Liyue that the mantis stalks the cicada, and the oriole follows behind... I originally thought I was the oriole, but now it seems that you and I are just the victims arranged in front."

After saying these words inexplicably, Jiting stretched out his hand and took the initiative to touch the water prison.

The cage formed by the water element was not aggressive and rippled the moment he touched it, repelling him.

"Water element... so gentle... yet full of destructive power."

Jiting retracted his hand, with a mocking smile on his face.

"... Just like the young man below, full of destruction."

The breath of destruction?

Ningzhe was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly thought of someone.

The power of the water element is always full of struggle and destruction.

Could it be...

...

Qunyu Pavilion.

In the splendid hall, Ningguang had just reviewed a report and was taking a tea break.

Apart from her, only Baiwen was left in the huge palace. Baixiao and Baishi went to Yuehai Pavilion early to assist Gan Yu in his work. There were too many documents piled up there.

Only when the emperor really left did she realize how huge the workload was.

But...as long as the initial arrangement is done properly, you can take over everything soon.

Although the affairs in Liyue Port were complicated, the most important thing in Ningguang's heart at this time was not there.

She was very worried when her brother Ningzhe said he was going to explore the abnormal ground veins.

But when he heard that he was accompanied by an immortal, Ningguang had no choice but to suppress his worried heart.

But now, it's been some time since Ningzhe first sent her a message. Why didn't he report the latest progress?

For some reason, Ningguang felt a little flustered in her heart. This feeling that came out of nowhere but couldn't be suppressed made her very uncomfortable.

The last time she felt this way was a few years ago when Ningzhe was almost killed while wandering around in Xumi.

"..."

After pondering for a moment, Ningguang decided to stand up and came to Baiwen.

"Lord Ningguang, do you have any instructions?"

Baiwen was still lowering his head to organize the documents when he suddenly saw Ning Guang walking over and spoke with some confusion.

"I feel something is wrong...go tell Feng Yan and quickly prepare the weapons and equipment collected a while ago."

"yes."

After receiving the order, Baiwen did not hesitate at all and was ready to go to Yujingtai.

"...besides."

Suddenly, Ningguang stopped her.

"Lord Ningguang, is there anything else I need to tell you?"

"Call Shi Bai, the head of the Shi family, and ask him to come to Qunyu Pavilion."

"yes."

Baiwen nodded, bowed respectfully, and then left.

"..."

After seeing the secretary leave, Ningguang sat back on the chair and looked out the window. The wind was particularly lively today, flowing around faster than usual.

If her feelings are correct, then...
Chapter completed!
