Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

Chapter 325: Message from the Undead

In the main hall of the Fallen Angel Brigade at Black Demon Mountain, Yite, Fengling, Hong Tao, and Kuang Dao all knelt before the throne.

"God of War/Dream Fairy/Yan Jun/Feng Zu, please meet Lord Demon. May the Fallen God Contract sweep across Dream Heaven. Our long-cherished wish will be accompanied by the contract!"

After the words fell, there was no movement from the throne for a long time. As the four of them looked at each other, a dark purple energy vortex slowly gathered, and the figure of the Demon Lord gradually emerged. His dark cloak fluttered without wind, and a low voice echoed from beneath his mask:

"Everyone, get up. I was delayed by something just now. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Upon hearing this, Yite quickly waved his hands and said, "How dare we? How could we blame you, sir? I just don't understand why you would give up the proof of the poison spirit so easily this time. We have only just begun to act..."

Before he could finish his words, the Demon Lord reached out and interrupted Yite: "Of course I understand. You have been preparing for this plan for a long time. However, something unexpected happened this time, so I had to forcibly recall you."

After hearing this, Yi Te paused for a moment and asked, "Has the fifth person finally appeared?"

"Indeed." The Demon Lord nodded. "Earthquakes triggered floods that buried everything; howling winds tore apart all living things; endless wars destroyed the homes that people depended on for survival; night fell, and fear spread like a nightmare, causing panic and anxiety; finally, death arrived, crushing the last bit of faith. Now, the Fallen God Brigade has obtained four of the five corrupted elements, and the final element, representing the deceased, has taken root in Linglang not long ago. All you have to do is find it at all costs!"

Feng Ling's crystal earrings shone slightly when she heard this. "Ling Yu, huh? That's the Lord of Thunder's territory. I heard she's very decisive. When those guys were fighting with Athens for the Heart of the God of War, she sent down thunderbolts. It was only then that Athens's death gave It the chance to become the God of War."

Yi Te nodded. "Yes, to this day, I still remember the scene. Although I am quite confident in my own ability, if that lightning really struck, I am afraid I would not be able to protect myself."

"So you are afraid?" the Demon Lord asked calmly.

Feng Ling lowered her head even more upon hearing this. "Yes, I am terrified. You know, Meng Tian is also very wary of the Fallen Elements descending upon the mortal world, even more than just guarding the credentials. If a robbery were to occur, I'm afraid it would be difficult for us to gain any advantage."

Hearing this, the Demon Lord gasped softly while sitting on the throne, unconcerned: "It's okay, use your methods boldly. If you really attract the Thunder Lord, I will help you."

Hong Tao was shocked after hearing this: "Are you serious, sir?"

The Demon Lord nodded. "Of course. After all, 'Ghost Killing' is one of our indispensable forces." He then looked at Yite. "Yite, you are still in charge of this plan. Don't let me down."

Yite smiled slightly and lowered his head: "Please rest assured, sir, we will definitely bring the 'Shagui' back. Please wait patiently for our news."

The Demon Lord nodded again. Without saying a word, his figure gradually disappeared from the throne until it completely disappeared.

After watching the Demon Lord leave, It quickly stood up and arranged the next task.

"Okay everyone, I don't need to tell you what to do next." He adjusted his tech glasses and smiled.

Seeing this, Kuang Dao folded his arms in disdain, "Tsk, you're showing off again. It's just that you successfully obtained the element of war, what's there to brag about?"

Hong Tao waved his hand: "There's nothing I can do. He's the one the adults trust the most. And what you said is true."

Feng Ling stood up and smiled slightly: "Okay, let's listen to what he says first."

Seeing this, Ite seemed to have a plan in mind and smiled: "It's very simple, our plan this time is this..."

……

At the hour of Chen, in Linglang territory, four familiar yet unfamiliar figures, dressed in mercenary uniforms, walked openly and swaggeringly on the streets.

"Hey, is this really okay?" Kuang Dao lowered his voice, his fingers tapping nervously on the hilt of the sword at his waist. His flamboyant green hair was now tightly wrapped in a gray cloak.

Feng Ling gently brushed her hair and smiled, "Don't worry, I have already set up an illusion around us. Unless we meet those guys, no one will know our true identity."

Hong Tao, dressed in a tank uniform, walked at the back in a flamboyant manner. "But speaking of pretending to be a mercenary to gather information, it's amazing you thought of that. You know, ever since the last incident, our wanted posters are posted everywhere in Linhui. I don't dare to imagine the consequences if someone recognizes us."

Hearing the three people's discussion, It, who was walking in front, simply smiled. "That's why disguising ourselves as mercenaries is the safest and most cost-effective. After all, no one knows we'd be so brazenly out in front of people. Besides, the mercenary group is a hub for intelligence exchange, so we might find what we're looking for. So, as long as we don't reveal our identities, no one will know the Fallen Angel Troupe has entered the mercenary group."

He smiled triumphantly and fiddled with his masterpiece deliberately. He wore a sword on his belt and a knight's outfit, looking as dazzling as a brave hero in a real novel.

Looking at the others, Feng Ling was wearing a robe, disguising her pink sickle as a staff; Kuang Dao was wearing light clothes, so he looked the same as usual, but without that unruly look. As long as he didn't talk too much, he would be exactly like the assassin imagined; Hong Tao was disguised as a heavy armored warrior, and the heavy armor perfectly concealed his rock elemental power.

The four of them arrived at the Mercenary Association's gate, and It suddenly stopped. "Remember, from now on, I am Ivan, the leader of the 'Silver Knights', and you are my team members. As for the name... you can come up with it yourself."

Feng Ling gently stroked the staff, a sly look flashing in her eyes: "Understood, Captain~"

After hearing this, Iter revealed a smug smile and then walked into the Mercenary Association. Seeing this, Kuang Dao was once again dissatisfied and said, "This guy really thinks he's an important person."

"Okay, I know you are dissatisfied, but you should find out the truth first." Hong Tao smiled helplessly and pushed him.

Pushing open the guild's doors, a cacophony of noise washed over them. Mercenaries gathered in groups of three or four, their mission boards densely covered with commissions. Upon hearing the doors open, everyone's gazes almost instantly converged on the four individuals.

"It's a face I haven't seen before. Could it be a newcomer?"

"I think it's probably true. Look at the guy in the lead's outfit. It's so fancy. He's obviously some rich young man."

"Tsk, it's just a few bucks, why are you showing off?"

"That is to say, by then, we will be running away from the battlefield."

Everyone was talking at once, and the atmosphere became a little subtle for a moment.
