Chapter 906: Go forward and don't look back
The soldiers of Qianyan were in perfect uniform, arranged in four neat rows, and marched along the road leading to the gate until they stopped at the gate.
Kong glanced curiously towards the door a few times. "Has it stopped? The door won't open? Is there some kind of mechanism?"
When it comes to solving puzzles and mechanisms, Kong believes that no one on the continent of Teyvat is more skilled than himself.
But just as Kong was about to take a few steps forward to see what kind of mechanisms or secrets were hidden there...
"Young Master Kong, please stop here for now and do not go any further."
As Ningguang finished speaking her dissuasion, the neatly lined-up Thousand Rock soldiers in the passage ahead suddenly turned around, their weapons all pointing back at the way they had come.
This posture clearly indicates that the person is not trying to open the door, but rather trying to prevent anyone from doing so.
Are they on guard against... me?
Kong looked around blankly and suddenly realized that, without him noticing, all the powerful crossbows and cannons that had been deployed around him had been pointed at his location.
Remembering what Brother Xu said in the lower realm, "As long as you don't sit in that position, it's fine," Kong was filled with anger and couldn't help but loudly question Ningguang.
"Before the state of Heavenly Principles was even determined, you treated me like this. Is Lord Tianquan afraid that I will overstep my bounds? If that's the case, why didn't you leave me here from the beginning? Wouldn't that have saved you a lot of trouble?"
Ningguang's expression remained unchanged as she faced Kong's question. She brushed aside a strand of hair that had been blown away by the wind and glanced at Xu Ning, who still had his eyes closed beside her.
Ningguang slowly said, "There's no way to put you down here, as there will soon be no place to stand. And putting you in the Dust Concealment Cave is too risky. So placing you on the Jade Pavilion is indeed a risky move for us."
Kong realized that he was not trusted, and his outburst was driven by anger; he did not actually intend to demand an explanation.
If you don't want to go in, then so be it. At worst, you'll just miss out on a spectacle, it's not a big deal.
However, he did not expect that Ningguang would actually give him a reason. Moreover, whether it was bringing him here or taking precautions against him in advance, she had actually thought it through carefully with Brother Xu.
"Fine, so what if I'm just standing here watching? I'll..."
"No, Kong, you can't waste time here. We have a reason to move on!"
Before Kong could finish speaking, a completely different viewpoint suddenly came from behind him.
Kong laughed. "Paimon, time is of no concern to us. It's just that we can't watch the live broadcast here... Uh, Paimon, why does your voice sound so strange?"
Sora initially thought that Paimon behind him had picked up where he left off, but when Sora realized that Paimon's voice did not have multi-channel or reverb, then who was standing behind him instead of Paimon?
Kong's neck stiffened as he tried to turn his head to look behind him, but at that moment, a slender, jade-like hand landed on his shoulder.
Kong's entire body paused.
This wasn't Paimon's small hand, and judging from her size, the person behind her was probably about the same height as herself. Who could she be?
"Kong, do not look back, move forward and face your impending destiny."
