Travel through Teyvat and spend your life with Linghua

Chapter 119 The Great Abyss of Strata Rock

As they fell, a green figure suddenly appeared beside Ying like lightning and lifted her into his arms. In the blink of an eye, they appeared below together.

"Oh no! Linghua!" Xinyang was startled upon seeing this, and he quickly harnessed his wind power to dash towards Linghua. Fortunately, Linghua didn't panic too much, but instead lunged towards Xinyang. Xinyang, quick-witted and quick-handed, grabbed Linghua and, using the wind power to cushion his fall, landed safely.

However, Yan Fei wasn't so lucky! The moment the ground cracked, she completely lost control of her body and plummeted towards the ground. Just as Yan Fei was about to hit the ground hard, at this critical moment, a dazzling blue light suddenly flashed! Immediately afterwards, several blue threads quickly stretched out, accurately wrapping around Yan Fei's rapidly falling body. These blue threads tightly lifted Yan Fei, successfully suspending her in the air.

Yan Fei's body hovered in mid-air, her terrified expression gradually returning to calm. Yan Fei stared wide-eyed at the blue threads that held her suspended, her mind a blank.

As the blue thread slowly lowered, Yan Fei finally returned to the ground safely. She touched her buttocks and found that there was no pain as expected, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"You shouldn't come here!" Ye Lan jumped down from above and appeared quietly in front of everyone like a ghost in the dark night.

"Ye Lan! I knew you were here. You saved me just now, didn't you? Thank you." Yan Fei smiled and greeted Ye Lan. Ye Lan nodded slightly and said calmly, "It's just a small favor. The Grand Mage came to the Layered Abyss to do business, so why would he need to ask my permission?" However, Ye Lan's face looked a little unhappy, as if he was not welcoming Yan Fei's arrival.

Yan Fei scratched his head, revealing an awkward smile. He continued, "Hey, where you, Ye Lan, are around, my words don't count. I actually wanted to ask you for a favor this time." Then, Yan Fei turned around and introduced the others: "This is Ye Lan, a... friend of mine. Eh? Great Sage Conquering Demons, why are you here too?"

It was then that everyone noticed that Xiao had arrived. He stood quietly by, his eyes focused on Ying's condition. Upon hearing Yan Fei's voice, Xiao coughed lightly and explained, "I came here on some personal business. I heard some unusual noises and came to investigate. I didn't expect to run into you."

Ye Lan approached Xin Yang and Ling Hua, examining them with a sharp gaze. "Ying, Paimon, and the Demon-Subduing Great Sage have all made great contributions to Liyue. Judging by your attire, you must be travelers from Inazuma, right? This is a strategically located area, and unauthorized trespassing is prohibited. Please cease immediately."

Seeing this, Yan Fei quickly stepped forward to explain, "These two are good friends of Ying and Paimeng. They came here just to look for some Emerald Jade Rock. They had already found it successfully, but for some reason it suddenly collapsed, leading them to stumble here by mistake."

After hearing this, Xin Yang quickly nodded and apologized: "I'm so sorry, we crossed the line and caused you trouble. We will leave immediately."

With that, Xinyang turned around and prepared to return the way he had come, only to be surprised to find that the original cave entrance had vanished without a trace! Scratching his head awkwardly, he said, "Well... we seem to be trapped here." Upon hearing this, Xiao immediately leaped to a higher place and carefully surveyed the surroundings. After a moment, he returned to the group and said solemnly, "Yes, the cave entrance is indeed gone."

"In that case, the Chasm is a mysterious area in Liyue, full of unknowns and dangers. In this place, I hope you can remain silent, don't look too much, ask too much, or listen too much, so as not to touch on secrets that should not be known. In principle, I don't want to become your enemy, and I also hope that you will not cause me trouble. As for how to leave here, I will try my best to find an exit." After Ye Lan finished speaking, he turned around and began to look for an exit.

Xiao had quietly left without anyone noticing, as if he had never appeared. The remaining few looked at each other, and after some thought, decided to follow Ye Lan to find a way out. However, as they walked around, they found that the surrounding rock walls were becoming more and more familiar.

"Have we been here before?" Paimon asked cautiously, a hint of doubt in his voice. Ye Lan nodded and agreed, "Indeed, there are still marks I left here. It seems that the terrain here is much more complicated than I expected. Do you want to rest for a while? I'm going to check other places alone."

Ye Lan finished speaking, completely oblivious to the others' reactions, and left. With no other options, they retreated to a rock face. Xin Yang thoughtfully helped Ling Hua lay out a mat, then pulled some snacks from his backpack and distributed them to everyone. Everyone sat together, wanting to chat and laugh, but after the long trek, they were exhausted.

Soon, Ye Lan brought everyone to a rock wall. "Just now when I was checking the rock wall, I found that this piece of stone was a little abnormal. It should be made of sleight of hand to cover the road behind it." Ye Lan waved his hand lightly, and the rock wall disappeared, replaced by a bottomless pit.

Seeing this, Yan Fei was a little scared. Ye Lan thought for a while and said, "I can't find any way out except here. The only option now is to jump down." After saying that, Ye Lan was the first to jump down.

Xinyang picked up Linghua and said, "Linghua and I will go down first. After we go down, I will use the wind element to help you two go down."

After everyone went down, what came into view was a stone door with a mechanism next to it.

Yan Fei was the first to bear the brunt of the attack. "This kind of mechanism is very common in Liyue, there shouldn't be any problem." As she spoke, she opened the stone door.

A nagging couple appeared from behind the door, arguing over some trivial matters. Yan Fei tried to interrupt them several times but failed to get a word in, so she walked out. The door closed automatically, and the sound of the quarrel disappeared without a trace.

Ye Lan was very confused. "What's going on? I can't hear any sound outside, and why are there ordinary people in the Layered Abyss?"

Yan Fei also shook her head. "I don't know. I hate this kind of thing the most. The complex human heart is really too unpredictable."

Xinyang tried hard to recall that this should be the door where he could see the thing he feared the most, so out of curiosity he volunteered to go in again.

As Xinyang entered the secret room, the stone door slammed shut, and then Kamisato House appeared under the blood-red sky, but Kamisato House was burning with flames. Xinyang was shocked and rushed towards Kamisato House.

When they arrived at Kamisato's house, they saw Ayato lying on the ground, dying, his clothes stained with blood. He was still calling Xinyang's name. He weakly raised his hand and pointed inside Kamisato's house, wanting to say something, but he only had time to spit out a few words: "Ayato is still..." and then fell into Xinyang's arms.

Xinyang's eyes widened, unable to believe what was happening before his eyes. He put Ayato down, rushed to the door of Kamisato's house, and broke it open with all his might. When the door was pushed open, a strong smell of blood hit him in the face.

Xinyang's heartbeat accelerated instantly. He saw Linghua lying in a pool of blood, her face as pale as snow, with a deep scar on her chest.

Xinyang pounced on Linghua and shook her body desperately, "Linghua, wake up! Don't..." However, no matter how he called, Linghua did not respond.

Just then, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice came from behind.

"Hahaha, you're finally back. If you don't come with me, all the wives will look like this."

Xinyang turned around suddenly and saw the doctor standing there with a smug smile on his face.

"Dotore!" Xin Yang yelled angrily, his eyes filled with murderous intent. Xin Yang clenched his fists and punched the doctor with all his strength.

A loud noise was heard from the secret room. After a shake, the stone door slowly opened. Xinyang appeared in front of everyone with red eyes and sweat all over his forehead.
