"I'll go and arrest that person tomorrow."
"I'll do whatever you want with her."
"This time it was my fault."
As he spoke, Bal tightened his grip on him noticeably.
Lin Jiu'an also opened her eyes, turned around and looked at Baer who was hugging her tightly from behind. Her gentle face was full of a pitiful look, like a child who had done something wrong.
Looking at the sensible Baal, Lin Jiu'an smiled and patted his head.
"good."
Bal burst into laughter after his tears.
······
the following few days.
Lin Jiu'an did not arrest the maid who mistook Baal for Baalzeb that day and give her and her whole family a "battery person" package.
He continued to have affairs with the Barr sisters and other women every day.
Time passes unconsciously.
Half a month later.
Lin Jiu'an then received a letter from Liyue.
It is said that both Mondstadt and Liyue are experiencing varying degrees of chaos, especially Mondstadt, where large-scale rebellions have begun to emerge, and the Mondstadt forces are finding it increasingly difficult to suppress them.
"This is a conspiracy."
In the study.
A hint of worry lingered in Bal's eyes.
"They want to transfer you."
"It seems there has indeed been a major disturbance in Mondstadt."
Lin Jiu'an's rule was based on a very simple foundation.
Or.
The foundation for ruling Teyvat is very simple.
strength.
Absolute strength leads to absolute dominance.
Even though Lin Jiu'an had committed such heinous massacres in the previous three countries, as long as Lin Jiu'an was alive, no one dared to resist his rule. But the opposite problem arose.
Lin Jiu'an has the power to rule.
If other people come, the people will probably be happy to overthrow the tyrant Lin Jiu'an and replace him with someone else to rule them.
Just like that "Tower Tyrant" and Wendy.
What did the "Tower Tyrant" do wrong?
In fact, He didn't do anything wrong. It was just that Wendy appeared, and Wendy's powerful strength and help gave humanity a chance to overthrow the "Tower Tyrant," so the "Tower Tyrant" was killed by his people.
And now.
"Doctor," "Skirmisher," and the Abyss Order's Kong are clearly the same person as "Venti."
Lin Jiu'an's massacres may suppress the situation for a while, but as long as he is not the most powerful, there will inevitably be a constant stream of ambitious people who want to overthrow his rule.
"These are nothing."
"What I'm more interested in is how they came up with their reasons."
"Are you saying I'm dead?"
Lin Jiu'an looked at the letter sent by Ningguang and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Nothing happened on Inazuma's side.
With the Thunder General suppressing the situation, and with women like Ayaka Kamisato, Kokoro Sango, and Kujo Sara, who was sent back from Liyue Harbor to Sumeru Harbor via Inazuma, controlling the situation, even if "Doctor," "Scrapped Soldier," and Sora went there themselves, they wouldn't be able to cause any major trouble, let alone those useless people.
Both the economy and public safety in Liyue have been affected to some extent.
There were even many strikes and disturbances at the port, but overall they were suppressed by Ningguang's strong hand.
In addition, there's the support of the mythical beast Gan Yu.
Although Gan Yu was just an 'ordinary' secretary-general of Yuehaiting, his status was undeniable.
That was a real Qilin that had lived for thousands of years. Although its strength was not comparable to that of the Demon God and Lin Jiu'an, it was more than enough to deal with those human beings who possessed the Eye of God. Not to mention that the True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng was standing behind it.
Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun and the other immortals were not particularly fond of Lin Jiu'an and Ning Guang.
But the problem is, Gan Yu is, after all, her apprentice.
They are the 'children' that those immortals watched grow up.
If anything were to happen to Gan Yu, those immortals certainly wouldn't stand idly by.
Therefore, even if someone could find a way to deal with Gan Yu, they would have to consider whether they could handle the three immortals who had attacked the younger one and then attacked the older one. Without the problem of force, Ning Guang was naturally not afraid of the Fools and the Abyss Order's petty tricks in her own territory. At most, it would just be a bit annoying that it would delay her from making money.
But Mondstadt is different.
Again.
Mondstadt is utterly useless from any perspective.
Barbatos goes without saying; let's just consider him dead for now.
Leaving aside the fact that the Four Winds Guardians died, let's talk about that wolf and that dragon. They weren't that strong, and they were always worried about being controlled by the Abyss Order. They were practically demon-level scum, disgraceful bastards.
Unlike Liyue, Mondstadt doesn't have immortals or mythical beasts.
The village of Inazuma is guarded by a powerful demon.
On methods.
The Gunnhilds were ultimately ruined by 'freedom' as well.
She can't compare to Ningguang, Ayaka Kamisato, or Kokoro Sango.
They are inferior in both strength and methods.
Apart from Lisa.
The strongest group in Mondstadt combined probably couldn't defeat Kujo Sara alone.
It is indeed the best place to cause trouble.
The biggest problem this time still lies with Mondstadt.
/q#skirt£land|~!you]∨order°ling*(put?>!~ear△#
Rumors are circulating that "Lin Jiu'an has died in Sumeru." Although it hasn't caused any major trouble yet, it's already a bad omen.
Frederica and Jean are barely managing to keep the situation under control.
But it's conceivable.
If Lin Jiu'an doesn't come out to clarify the rumors after a while, as the rumors spread more and more fiercely, some of the Mondstadt people who were already being forcefully suppressed by him will eventually have some dishonest thoughts.
Most of them were terrified of Lin Jiu'an and wouldn't do anything.
However, if a few audacious and greedy opportunists cause trouble with the help of the Abyss Order or "Doctor" and his group, and Lin Jiu'an delays returning, then the "rumors" will eventually become the "truth."
Once they confirm that Lin Jiu'an is truly 'dead,' without the suppression of this killing god, it will be the time bomb that Mond is about to explode.
And this world is never short of greedy fools.
all in all.
Barr's analysis and concerns are correct; Lin Jiu'an is indeed facing a choice.
Should we save the mother or the child?
You always have to choose between Mondstadt and Sumeru.
Lin Jiu'an couldn't teleport, nor did he have the Seven God Statues to teleport him. The distance between Sumeru and Mondstadt was 108,000 miles, and even the fastest round trip by waterway would take several months.
Balzeb has ruined his own body and lacks the materials to create a puppet of the "Thunder General" level in a short time. Sending it out rashly would only be sending experimental material to the "Doctor".
"Do you think I should save the mother or the baby?" Lin Jiu'an asked.
Baal was taken aback, then hesitated for a moment before saying, "Theoretically speaking, we should preserve Sumeru."
"If that doesn't work, let them go to Liyue to hide for a while."
"Both your 'battery' and the World Tree issue are important."
"indeed."
Lin Jiu'an nodded slightly in agreement, then smiled and said, "Actually, this matter is not complicated."
"Isn't he just trying to lure me out?"
"Then I'll just go out."
Chapter Sixteen: The End of the Scatterers
Barr was taken aback.
He was somewhat confused by Lin Jiu'an's nonsensical words.
He could understand Lin Jiu'an's meaning.
He intended to pretend to leave Sumeru, but secretly stayed in the shadows, lured out the rats hiding there, reversed the situation from "the enemy is in the dark while I am in the light" to "the enemy is in the light while I am in the dark," and then killed them all.
But that's precisely why He didn't understand why He would say that.
Although she didn't know much about the ways of the Fools, the Abyss Order, and Azar, logically speaking, the other party shouldn't be that stupid. If He was hiding in the shadows, He would have waited for Lin Jiu'an to return to Mondstadt before making a move in Sumeru.
It's impossible that they actually fell for such a simple trick.
"They probably won't fall for it," Barr said tactfully.
Lin Jiu'an smiled.
"They won't, but the skirmishers will."
Baal was taken aback, and then heard Lin Jiu'an say, "You may understand normal people, but you don't understand skirmishers."
······
The next day.
Lin Jiu'an then left Xumi City in a carriage in front of the people of Xumi City, heading straight for Omos Port.
"he's gone."
In a rainforest outside Sumeru City.
Walk through the ordinary rainforest, into a hidden realm unknown to most.
Having received the news from the inside agent who rushed back, the people of the Order of the Church then informed the Sages and the Scatterers.
"Something's definitely fishy!"
The sage from the Order of the Church immediately said, "We just received news from Liyue yesterday."
He passed away today.
"They're definitely doing this on purpose to lure us in!"
Hazard sneered, "What an ignorant fool."
"Whatever this person is up to, we'd better not go out."
"Anyway, we have plenty of time."
"We'll make our move once we confirm he's appeared in Mondstadt or Liyue from the Abyss."
Just as the sages of the Order of the Fathers were echoing this, a voice suddenly rang out.
"He left Sumeru City?"
Everyone turned around and saw that the stragglers had suddenly arrived.
"Yes."
