Chapter 1341 The Interview with Jonawa
Soon, another month passed, and everything was peaceful, so peaceful that it was almost unsettling.
There was no Alice, no enemies, and everything was peaceful.
After obtaining the first sacred object, Ying only rested at home for a day or two before setting off again.
However, unlike their previous "lone battle," with the conclusion of the Holy Night Pilgrimage, Ying and her group received the full support of various forces in Nata, and their path ahead instantly became much clearer.
For example, when Ying went to Ochikanata, she originally planned to travel light, but unexpectedly, Hua Yu volunteered to escort her, and even the Vulcan Mavica personally led the team to accompany her.
The massive procession marched toward Ochikanata in the City of Ashes, setting up supply camps along the way as a matter of course.
They cooked and chatted along the way, enjoying a relaxed and pleasant experience that could easily be described as a group outing.
Even when Ying and her group boarded the Sky Serpent Ship, Chaska helped them the whole time... Overall, it was not difficult at all.
With the combined assistance of the fire god Mavica and the various tribes of Nata, Ying and her companions followed the clues left by Manko and arrived at the depths of the ancient sacred mountain with almost no effort.
On the sacred mountain, Kukulkan looked at the huge crowd below the volcano, and the entire dragon froze, his worldview collapsing!
What's going on? Are all the Nata people so idle? They actually came all the way to the holy city of Turan in a group...
The layers of obstacles he had set up seemed like a joke in the face of this massive army.
However, Kukulkan quickly calmed down.
The final destination, the holy city of Turan, is hidden inside the Turan volcano. To reach it, one must pass through the phlogiston gas filling the crater.
Ordinary people simply cannot get close to them.
So, apart from Ying and her group, only Vulcan Mavica and the Flower Feather Society member "Chaska" who came to help could get in; none of them could...
Ianshan and Valesa stayed behind in the tribe with the people of the Land of Woru, and began preparing for the celebration and feast early on.
After all, the world is vast, but having a full stomach is the most important thing; returning from an adventure and being able to enjoy a hot and hearty meal is the best way to end the journey.
Passing through the gaseous phlogiston, Ying and her group ventured deep into the volcano. After overcoming several ingeniously designed puzzles that proved challenging enough, they finally encountered Kukulkan's trump card in the heart of the holy city.
The ancient and mysterious source of the dragon.
However, when this majestic mecha dragon was activated from its dormant state and saw the enemy lineup in front of it, its core processor froze for a second.
The travelers from another world, Ying; the prince of the Abyss Order, Kong; the disciple of the Extreme Evil Knight, Skirk; the current God of Fire, Mavica; and Chaska, the most important person to stop in the Flower Feather Society.
The future Fire Dragon King, and an ordinary Bai Feifei...
This is a star-studded lineup; it's not a "challenge," it's a "gang-up."
But the program has already set the combat instructions, so even when faced with a desperate situation, one can only grit one's teeth and go for it.
The Ancient Mysterious Source Dragon activated its preset ability, and an energy barrier suddenly rose, temporarily trapping Ying and Paimon within it.
This was the task assigned by Kukulkan to "contain the core target".
But before it could launch a follow-up attack, Kong, Skork, Mavka, and Chaska swarmed in...
An old man eating poison? He thinks he's too old for his life!
In an instant, the sounds of explosions, metal clashing, and flames burning mingled together as the Ancient Mystic Dragon was subjected to a barrage of attacks from the four, leaving it no chance to retaliate.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Kukulkan quietly picked up Xiaolong Potato Cake, who was watching the commotion, and slipped away as fast as oil on his feet.
Looking at the besieged and retreating machine dragon, Kukulkan said with deep sorrow, "Deep Ancient Mystic Machine Dragon, your sacrifice has made a great contribution to the revival of our dragon race. I will always remember you."
Meanwhile, the Ancient Mystic Dragon cried out, "Help! We can't win this! Request to terminate the mission! Help—!"
……
Just as Ying was trapped by the Ancient Mysterious Source Dragon using pheromone energy, she suddenly felt her consciousness becoming somewhat hazy.
The next second, the heaviness in her limbs and bones suddenly disappeared, as if an invisible hand had gently pulled her consciousness away from her tense body.
The feeling of weightlessness lasted only a moment. When I opened my eyes again, the roaring and heat in my ears had completely disappeared.
Ying blinked blankly, her vision filled with an endless "starry sky".
It's called the starry sky, but it's completely different.
It was eerily quiet here, with no wind and no sound, as if one were in the chaos before the world was born, or in the nothingness after all things had perished.
"Okay, I think we need to take this opportunity to talk."
A cool, indifferent female voice suddenly rang out from behind.
Ying froze, instinctively turning around, her wary gaze meeting a pair of calm eyes.
A woman with white hair stood before me.
What's most striking is her expressionless face, her lips slightly pursed, exuding an aloofness that keeps people at arm's length.
"Who are you?" Ying's hands clenched unconsciously, but the emptiness in her palms made her heart sink a little.
Here, she couldn't sense any flow of elemental power, and her weapons had vanished? She couldn't even draw her bladeless sword.
The woman did not answer immediately.
She merely tilted her head slightly, her indifferent eyes falling on Ying's face, as if scrutinizing her or confirming something.
Immediately afterwards, the scene from Wuwang Slope in Liyue flashed into Ying's mind.
"Wait a minute..." Ying's pupils contracted slightly, her tone filled with disbelief, "You look very familiar..."
Seeing the sudden change in her expression, Jonawa finally felt a flicker of emotion in her eyes.
She took a light step and floated in front of Ying, meeting her gaze with her cool eyes.
"You may call me the Regent of Death. We met once in Liyue."
"The rule of death..." These four words struck Ying like a bolt from the blue, cleaving through her chaotic thoughts.
She abruptly took a step back, giving her a wary look, and blurted out, "Oh, I remember now! You are the Ruler of Death! What do you want? Where is this?"
Jona's usually indifferent, expressionless face remained blank as she replied in a cool voice, "Where we are isn't important. What's important is that I want to talk to you..."
Ying stared at her indifferent eyes so close to his own, and unconsciously scratched the back of his head, feeling confused and bewildered.
She couldn't understand what she could possibly have to talk about with this mysterious ruler of death, so she asked bluntly, "I don't think we have anything in common."
Upon hearing this, Ronawa did not refute it. She simply raised her hand and waved it gently, and in the blink of an eye, a simple stone chair materialized beside her.
She turned slightly to the side, making an inviting gesture, her tone remaining calm.
"Please sit down. Don't misunderstand, I mean you no harm. Otherwise, your husband would already be leading his four world-destroying beasts towards Sky Island."
"..."
Ying also sensed Ronawa's sincerity from those words... at least the other party didn't directly attack her.
She hesitated for a moment, and seeing that Ronawa really didn't intend to cause trouble, she obediently walked to the chair and sat down.
As soon as she settled down, Ying looked up at Ronawa and asked directly, "What do you want to talk about?"
Instead of sitting down, Ronawa slowly walked behind Ying.
A rare flicker of emotion appeared in her usually indifferent eyes. As her gaze shifted, Ronawa spoke her mind in a gentle, penetrating way.
"I'll be frank with you. If you want to live a good life with your husband, fine, Teyvat welcomes you."
Ying was slightly taken aback by these words. Before she could think about it, she heard Ronawa's tone suddenly become serious.
“But the power of the abyss! This crosses Teyvat's bottom line! Your brother has become Teyvat's adversary, do you understand what I mean?”
“Brother…” Upon hearing the words “power of the abyss” and “brother”, Ying’s heart sank, and she instantly understood Ronawa’s intention.
Before Jonathan could say anything more, she eagerly assured him, "I will persuade my brother..."
"No, it's too late." Jonawa interrupted Ying abruptly, her voice rising sharply as she issued a stern warning:
"Your brother's Abyss Order... must die! The Abyss is the enemy of Teyvat! Kanria is, and so is the Abyss Order!"
Upon hearing Ronawa's death threat to her brother, Ying turned around as if facing a formidable enemy, her brows furrowed, and she asked, "So, what do you mean?"
Seeing Ying's tense expression, Ronava reverted to her indifferent demeanor.
She walked slowly to Ying and continued to explain her point of view, her tone filled with unwavering certainty: "What I mean is: will your advice be of any use?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she changed the subject and directly addressed Ying's past experiences.
"If persuading him were effective, why did you and your husband bring your blood relative into the land of 'Salfendenil' in the first place? Did it even work?"
"..."
Ying was taken aback by the question and stared blankly at Ronawa. The hostility of Alice from the Witch Society flashed through her mind, and when she thought of Ronawa's murderous intent towards her brother, an absurd and angry feeling welled up in her heart.
Have all the people of Teyvat gone mad, or have they finally revealed their true colors? How can they all be so insane!
Thinking of this, Ying clenched her fists and roared in a questioning tone, "Alice from the Witch's Guild wanted to kill my husband, and now you want to kill my brother? Have you all gone mad?"
Upon hearing the name "Alice," Ronawa's face showed a clear emotional fluctuation, an undisguised contempt.
She said sarcastically, "Alice? You mean Rhinedot's colleague? Ha, she and Rhinedot, they're both just scared cowards."
"Why did those two send you to kill your husband? Because they were cowards, because they both knew that if they appeared in front of Shao Yun, they would be killed!"
