After receiving the distress message from Tianheng North Pass.
Moon Carver, Cloud Retainer, and Mountain Shaper, the three adepti, went to support them together.
The remaining yakshas and Millelith soldiers followed the Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens to continue guarding this place, preparing for a sudden attack by the gods.
Before leaving!
Moon Carver said somewhat smugly, "Brother Skybracer, it looks like I will be the ultimate winner of this bet!"
Although the Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens had already killed four gods.
And Moon Carver had only killed two.
But... going to support Tianheng North Pass this time, Moon Carver was confident he could slay at least two more gods.
When that time comes, without a doubt!
He, Moon Carver, will become the adeptus who has slain the most gods.
In other words, the strongest adeptus in name!
The Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens was taken aback. "Damn, I've been tricked. No, I must go to Tianheng North Pass to slay gods too!"
But the other three adepti had already made their decision!
Even if the Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens objected, it was useless.
Nearby!
Cloud Retainer said to Ganyu, "Do you want to go to Tianheng North Pass with your master? The warriors there will definitely welcome you!"
Ganyu said with puffed cheeks, "No!"
If she went to Tianheng North Pass, her master Cloud Retainer would definitely spread the story about her solo-killing a god.
By then, the warriors at Tianheng North Pass would also join in teasing Ganyu.
She would really have no face to see anyone!
Cloud Retainer smiled and said, "Alright, then you stay here and guard this place with the Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens!"
Cloud Retainer felt very at ease leaving little Ganyu in the care of the Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens.
After everything was arranged!
Cloud Retainer and Mountain Shaper spread their wings at the same time, flying up into the sky in the blink of an eye.
Taking Moon Carver with them.
Heading to Tianheng North Pass to resist the gods' general offensive.
But before parting, both Cloud Retainer and Mountain Shaper had a strange feeling in their hearts, as if something was not quite right.
But after thinking carefully, they could not figure out exactly what was wrong.
Only Moon Carver was full of anticipation.
Hoping to reach Tianheng North Pass as soon as possible, slay more gods, and win the bet with the Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens.
...
After the three adepti left.
The Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens looked at the remaining Millelith soldiers and the few yakshas, saying seriously, "Although the gods have made Tianheng North Pass their main target, we cannot let our guard down. We must prepare for a sudden attack by the gods!"
"All Millelith soldiers, take up your weapons and stand by at all times!"
As soon as the words fell!
All the Millelith soldiers stood up from the walls of the pass one after another.
Forming ranks on the city walls!
Setting up various traps and defensive facilities below the walls!
Preparing for a sudden attack by the gods.
Just at this moment, Xiao suddenly walked up to the Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens. "Brother Skybracer, please assign me a task!"
The Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens: "Cough, cough... I told you, do not call me brother!"
Every time he heard Xiao call him brother, his eyelid would involuntarily twitch.
It was just so strange!
Xiao said seriously, "Understood, Brother Skybracer!"
The Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens: "..."
I am completely numb! He really cannot change it!
Fine, if he really cannot change it, then let him call me brother!
After all!
For the strongest adeptus in Liyue, having not just one, but even ten little brothers is not excessive, right?
The Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens said seriously, "Yaksha Xiao, listen to my orders!"
Xiao: "Yes!"
The Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens: "Take the other yakshas and scout outside the Tianheng Mountains. If you detect the aura of gods or divine familiars, bring the information back immediately!"
"Remember, absolutely do not engage the gods on your own initiative!"
Although the current Xiao had high combat talent and knew a set of spear techniques.
But neither his combat skills nor the development of the elemental power within his body had reached their peak.
Wanting to defeat a god was simply impossible.
There was no need to take risks.
Bringing the message back was the optimal choice.
Xiao understood as well. "As you command!"
Immediately!
Xiao and the other yakshas left Tianheng Pass together, heading to the west side of the Tianheng Mountains to scout.
...
It seemed everything was developing in a good direction.
But looking at Tianheng Pass and the warriors who were ready to fight at any moment, the Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens's eyelid still couldn't help but twitch.
Deep in his heart, a bad premonition arose.
I hope it is just an illusion!
The next moment!
The Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens leaped, leaving Tianheng Pass.
Leaping between the various peaks of the Tianheng Mountains, after moving back and forth several times, he finally arrived at the highest peak.
From here, he could not only see Tianheng Pass but also observe a much broader field of view.
Immediately!
The Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens sat cross-legged on a massive rock.
Closing his eyes, he slowly recovered his stamina, absorbing the elemental power wandering between heaven and earth, adjusting his own state to the best.
Preparing for a damn god to launch a sneak attack.
In the blink of an eye!
One hour passed...
Two hours passed...
Three hours passed...
The area around Tianheng Pass remained calm, without a single trace of a god's aura, completely quiet.
There was not even the roar of a wild beast or the cry of a bird.
As if the war had completely ended!
But!
For the Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens, who had experienced several major battles, noise was the main melody of the battlefield, not prolonged tranquility.
The more tranquil it was, the more eerie it became.
Not only that!
Sitting cross-legged on the rock, the Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens's eyelid kept twitching incessantly.
It seemed something major was happening!
Until the fourth hour!
The Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens, sitting on the rock, suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards the area beyond the Tianheng Mountains with a puzzled gaze.
There, he felt the aura of several yakshas, including Xiao's aura.
Not only that!
There were also the weak auras of three or four divine familiars, moving rapidly.
Those weak divine familiars were actually chasing and hammering the yakshas?
Could that Yaksha Xiao not even defeat a few divine familiars?
Although he had just said not to let Xiao act on his own initiative, that was only to prevent him from engaging the gods.
Could he not even deal with a few divine familiars when he encountered them?
The Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens felt somewhat helpless!
Since that is the case, I will go see for myself!
Let's see what kind of divine familiars are actually chasing and beating yakshas. This is simply too arrogant.
Immediately!
The Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens slightly bent his legs.
With a leap, he jumped into the distance, leaping directly down the mountain peak, and sprinted in Xiao's direction.
But...
The closer he got to Xiao, the more obvious the aura of those divine familiars became.
What puzzled the Adeptus Who Guides the Heavens was!
Even the elemental aura on those "divine familiars" was growing stronger and stronger.
Gradually approaching the strength of a god!
