In the small and dimly lit cell, it was as if the air had become damp and heavy.

Because he learned that Kujou Sara, who was able to come to the rescue alone by Arataki Itto, he no longer had the same decadent look as before.

In its place was a deep sense of anxiety and helplessness.

The fact that a man attacked the barracks sounded outrageous.

But with Kujou Sara's superficial understanding of Arataki Itto, it is obvious that the other party's clever brain can really come up with such an outrageous plan.

But now she is powerless to get the other party out of the current danger.

This fool!!

Obviously, it was okay to just kill her alone, but now it seems that Arataki Itto will definitely not be able to escape death.

How can anyone think that they can beat the soldiers of an army!

What's more, her eldest brother personally led people to surround it.

Although Kujo Hitomasa is not the wielder of the Vision of God, his strength is definitely unmatched even by many Genshin Impact.

Not to mention that the current Arataki Itto has to deal with far more than just Kujo Hitomasa.

Even if Arataki Itto is indeed very strong, but in the face of the tide of troops, how can he run away!

However, just as Kujou Sara was brainstorming, the sound of the cell door opening instantly drew her attention back to her cell.

The next moment.

In Kujou Sara's shocked gaze, the two shogunate soldiers who followed behind Righteous also slowly lifted the hats on their heads, revealing two faces that surprised her.

"Teppei, Tetsuen?"

At this point, Kujou Sara's eyes couldn't help but glaze over.

This well-defended military base was broken into by a reckless man from Arataki Ichito.

Why did even the two little brothers of Arataki Ichito sneak in quietly!

Could it be her hallucination?

As if he saw Kujou Sara's surprise, Yoshiyoshi, who was standing in front of Tetsuhei, explained while untying Kujou Sara's shackles.

"We've been planning this for a while, and many of the brothers in the team were thinking about how to get you out!"

And Zheping and Zheyuan on the side also added with a smile while looking at the wind.

"The news that you were imprisoned here was also told to the boss by the Kujou General, but there was no suitable time for rescue before."

"Yes, yes, isn't this a good time for our boss to save you when the time comes."

Although the Kujou family forcibly arrested Kujou Sara and confiscated his military power.

However, there are still a large number of soldiers whose conscience has not been extinguished are still full of respect for Kujou Sara, and these soldiers have never intended to give up on saving Kujou Sara.

Instead, he has been privately looking for a way out of danger for his former leader.

After all, although Kujou Sara has always been kept in the dark by the Kujou family, he is indeed one of the few officials who sincerely works for the people of Inazuma.

Her efforts were clearly seen by the soldiers under her command

Although they may not be able to understand the thoughts of those superiors, they definitely know it.

Only a leader like Kujou Sara may be able to bring a glimmer of hope to the current Inazuma.

And for the sake of this hope, they are absolutely willing to take even the biggest risks.

After a brief explanation from everyone, Kujou Sara finally understood the current situation, and his eyes regained a little luster again.

Even Kujou Sara herself didn't expect that when she thought that what she was doing would have no effect on Inazuma, there was still such a group of people silently supporting her, even losing her life for it and breaking into the military camp alone.

Thinking of this, her eyes couldn't help but flash a little fluorescent.

However, Kujou Sara soon suppressed the emotion in his heart, and then asked everyone curiously.

"So why is today a good time to act?"

She really couldn't figure out what it would be like to have a good chance for everyone to risk being discovered.

However, in the face of Kujou Sara's question, Tetsuhei immediately replied with his hands on his chest with a proud expression, as if he had been triggered by some kind of keyword.

"Hahaha, a good time is a good time, it's like farting without taking off your pants, it's a matter of course."

And Zheyuan also lost the inner height under his feet, and added as he nodded and pretended to be profound.

"Be flexible, learn to be flexible!"

Although the two brothers were answering the question, for some reason, Kujou Sara's mind was a scene where Arataki Itto said the same words with an underwhelming expression.

For a moment, the corners of Kujou Sara's eyes twitched slightly.

It's only been a long time, why are these two brothers affected by Arataki Itto like this?

It took a lot of effort to suppress the urge to complain in his heart, and Kujou Sara sensibly chose to change the subject.

"Now that the Kujo Jinya has been completely alarmed, how are we going to get out?"

Although Kujo Hitomasa, who is currently the biggest threat to everyone, has been attracted away by Arataki Itto.

But in such a dense barracks of soldiers, it is almost impossible to escape from the encircled area without causing a large scale.

However, in this regard, Teppei seems quite confident.

"Don't panic, the boss of the wise and martial arts has long expected such a need for this trip, so he specially prepared professional props for us!"

“？？？”

As if seeing Kujou Sara's doubts, Tetsuen also raised the fireworks in his hand at the other party with a proud face.

"No Inazuma people can resist this little gift that is bright and explosive, no one!"

"Huh?"

Meanwhile.

In the private box on the top floor of the Wangshu Inn, which has an unobstructed view of the beautiful night view of Dihua Prefecture, a man with a noble temperament is standing by the window and looking at the beautiful scenery in front of him, and then whispers to himself.

"Don't mind, it's just that I haven't seen someone for a long time to find a friend to chat."

The next moment.

A handsome and paralyzed young man with green hair and golden eyes and a thin body slowly emerged from the air, and then respectfully saluted the man in front of him.

"Lord Zhongli!"

Although he didn't know what the purpose of this lord came to Wangshu Inn to have a meal and wanted to talk to him, Xiao knew that the emperor's move must have a deep meaning.

After all, the other party is the Emperor of the Rock King!

And looking down at Xiao beside him, Zhongli also nodded and signaled that the other party did not need to be polite, and then sat on the chair with the other party, and poured himself and the other party a cup of tea, and then slowly said to the other party.

"The last time we met like this was a long time ago, and I've worked hard for you all these years."

"Where the duty lies, naturally I don't feel hard."

Xiao respectfully took the tea, even though his expression was still paralyzed, it was still difficult to hide the faint excitement in his eyes.

This is the tea that the Emperor personally poured for him!

After carefully taking a sip of the sweet tea, Xiao felt that his centuries-long fatigue as the Great Sage of Demon Slaying for Liyue Jing had been swept away at this moment.

But even so, Xiao still never forgot his responsibility.

"My lord, the Lantern Festival is approaching and evil activities have become more and more frequent in Liyue, so if there is nothing to do, I will retire first."

In this world, any demon god is immortal.

Even death will live in another way.

Among them, those demon gods who were defeated by the Rock Emperor and were unwilling to fall to Liyue.

He turned into a god like Orobus, constantly incarnating into evil and influencing the world.

If it weren't for the Yaksha like Xiao, who would hoe the earth with high intensity for hundreds of years.

Liyue wouldn't have been as prosperous as it is today.

It's just that after hearing Xiao's answer, Zhongli took a sip of tea and then replied with a gentle wave of his hand.

"I don't have to do it tonight, I've already done it for you."

Hearing this, Xiao's eyes immediately showed a look of surprise.

"How can it! Such a noble body of yours! ”

Those who have eliminated the karma of the gods, even the noble earthly seven consuls are not completely spared.

Therefore, rather than subjecting Zhongli to the wear and tear of karma, Xiao would rather bear such pain alone.

However, seeing Xiao's self-reproachful appearance at the moment, Zhongli immediately interrupted the other party's speech with a headache.

"You don't have to blame yourself, it's my own decision."

He was because he knew that if Xiao knew about this, then things would definitely evolve like this, so he didn't talk about it at the beginning.

Although Xiao still blamed himself incomparably, he still listened to Zhongli's idea of leaving here.

"Yes."

Seeing this, Zhongli also sighed slightly, and then finally explained.

"Jin Peng, do you know why I insist on keeping you tonight?"

Seeing that Xiao shook his head suspiciously, Zhongli replied directly without any intention of selling Guanzi.

"It's because I see a glimmer of possibility to lift your karma."

After hearing this, Xiao immediately showed a little surprise on his face, and then subconsciously vetoed it in disbelief.

"What? This. This is not possible, wear and tear is inevitable. ”

The so-called karma refers to the inevitable resentment of long-term exorcism and the accelerated wear and tear caused by it.

Everything in the world is subject to wear and tear, and even the Seven Rulers of the World are unavoidable.

But now Zhongli said that there is a way to solve the wear, which is indeed a bit beyond Xiao's limited imagination.

However, Zhongli shook his head slightly before continuing to explain.

"It's the karma that wraps around your soul, not the wear and tear."

However, it can be seen that even this explanation still failed to make Xiao fully comprehend, so Zhongli decisively changed the topic.

"Do you think that except for the dependents who have been given authority by the gods, the rest of the believers can use the power of the gods and even their faith?"

"Should. It can't be. ”

Xiao replied with some hesitation.

If anyone else asked this question, he would definitely think that there was something wrong with the other person's head.

Except for the dependents of the gods, it is impossible for the rest of the people to use the authority of the gods.

Not to mention faith, which he had never even felt, let alone used.

Perhaps only a demon god-level existence can use this kind of power.

However, in the face of Xiao's answer, Zhongli did not refute, but silently urged the elemental power.

A smooth copper mirror was then created in the air.

In the next moment, a third-person image with Inazuma Akaki as the center of the perspective instantly appeared on the smooth bronze mirror.

No doubt.

This red ghost in the bronze mirror picture is exactly the one who is surrounded by ten thousand armies.

"See what's going on?"

Looking at the real-time live broadcast in front of him, Zhongli finally opened his mouth and asked Xiao a question.

And when asked about these things related to the battle, Xiao Ke was finally not confused.

"In terms of the overall strength of the ghost clan, this red ghost is already considered very strong, and the ability to use two elemental powers at the same time is simply unheard of, and it is indeed very effective to trap the enemy with mud-like means."

"However, he seems to have used some kind of exercise that will affect his mind, and although the elemental power has been recovering, his mind should soon be unable to hold on."

Hearing this, Zhongli also nodded again, and being able to see so much information in a short period of time through a bronze mirror was already very good.

In the bronze mirror screen, Arataki Itto, after using the mask of Orobas, uses the newly acquired water elemental control to bring a new combat experience to the soldiers in the Kujo Jinya.

By mixing rock and water in a certain proportion, you can easily get a miraculous product similar to a non-Newtonian liquid.

Not only does it act like a shield to block incoming attacks, but it also dries like concrete to keep enemies in check.

Matching this ability with the breathing method, Arataki Itto is simply a mop and, just like Lu Bu in the world!

Arataki Itto also gave his new combo ability a very apt name - the Mudslide Breathing Method.

Of course, none of this is clearly the focus of Zhongli's attention.

"Let's not talk about these, you see if the patterns on his face are a little similar to your usual Jing Demon Dance."

Jing Demon Dance.

Quoting the power of karma in his body for Xiao, he bursts out with extreme power while suffering great pain.

This process of invoking the power of karma is extremely dangerous, so every time you cast it, you need to wear the face of the demon to ensure that your mind does not go violent.

After hearing Zhongli's speech, Xiao finally focused his attention on the dark patterns on Arataki Itto's face.

Immediately, his expression became more and more surprised.

He could see that some of the principles on these patterns had something in common with his face.

But the forces cited were very different, so they did not attract his attention in the first place.

"Lord Zhongli, what is this?"

However, for Xiao's doubts, the Rock King Emperor, who was almost omniscient in everyone's eyes, gave an unexpected answer.

"I only know a little bit about the specifics, so let's not make a conclusion now."

Although it is not known how exactly the godhead mask used by Arataki Itto is used.

But Zhongli made an unexpected discovery from this ability.

That's the karma he can't handle, and maybe using the power of the Godhead Mask can really solve it once and for all.

Although it was only a rough guess at the moment, Zhongli knew that he was very close to the answer.

And the ability of Arataki Itto has a certain amount in common with Xiao's Jing Demon Dance.

And that's why he called Xiao to watch together.

"Maybe after you finish reading it, you will have a little different perception from me."
