Ruixue, who was kicked away, was not seriously injured. Instead, she pounced again. Wendy took a big step back while holding Xiao, narrowed her eyes, used wind elemental power to bring Yingda to her side, and then pushed Xiao and Yingda away.
“Go help the travelers and Master Hu. I’m enough here.” Wendy closed the door and left with those last words. Xiao’s eyes widened.
"Wendy!" A heart-wrenching cry came from inside the palace, startling Sora and Kurumi, who were fighting fiercely with the guards below, and they looked up. "Could something have happened to Wendy?" Sora panicked and quickened his movements. Kurumi also lost her will to fight. After a series of actions, she defeated all the entangled guards and rushed towards the direction from which the sound came.
Yingda struggled to help Xiao up. Xiao's pupils were still dizzy. He scrambled to his feet and desperately pounded on the hall door. However, the hall door was extremely soundproof and well-defended. No matter how hard Xiao tried, the hall door just wouldn't open.
“Jinpeng, you have to believe him. He's the Anemo Archon of Mondstadt, he'll be alright.” Yingda comforted Xiao, trying to calm him down. “Yes, he's alright, yes, he'll be alright.” Xiao gasped for air, seemingly trying to regain his senses. The current situation was bringing back his nightmares. For a moment, he seemed to see the Yakshas of the past sacrificing their lives to save him. (Purely imaginary.)
"Yingda, what happened?" Sora and Kurumi arrived late. Paimon, who had been hiding while Sora was fighting, also appeared. Sora saw Xiao kneeling on the ground, half of his body being supported by Yingda, and quickly went over to help him up. "What happened? Demon Slayer?" Kurumi also came to Xiao's side. Xiao's eyes were red, and he growled, "Wendy is still inside."
"What? The street performer's still inside? Was he forced by Ruixue?" Paimon exclaimed. Kong was stunned, then drew his sword and stabbed at the door, but the door didn't budge. "Paimon, go check if there's any other place we can get in." "Huh? Why me?" Paimon's eyes widened. Kong said, "Here, only you can fly. If not you, who will go?"
“Alright, alright, wait for my good news.” Paimon agreed and began circling the palace. After one lap, Paimon shook his head in disappointment: “Traveler, Paimon couldn’t find a place to enter.” “More guards are rushing up.” Kong frowned. “These guards are strange.” “Yes, they have no life on them.” Hu Tao said, “They’re like they’ve had their life force drained, lifeless.”
"It was done by the players from the Star of Sickness." Xiao immediately spotted Aibo and Kapai behind the guards. Breaking free from Yingda, he instantly appeared in front of Aibo and Kapai. Aibo seemed to have been prepared. At the moment He Puyuan stabbed, a guard they had been using as a puppet was pulled in front of him. He Puyuan stabbed into the guard's heart. The guard twitched. Xiao was stunned.
The guard glanced at him one last time before he died, as if thanking him for freeing him.
"You are truly... unforgivable." Xiao was completely enraged this time. Nuo mask appeared on his face, and the wails of wronged souls filled his ears. Xiao's figure was like a ghost, and no matter how much Kapai and Aibo tried to hold back the guards, Xiao could easily break through them.
On the contrary, the actions of Abbot and Cappai completely enraged Xiao. Using innocent citizens as scapegoats is one thing, but don't those innocent citizens have lives too?

"Ping!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Boom!"
The magnificent hall had long been ravaged by Wendy and Rachel. Wendy was forced to use her full power, no longer holding a lyre, but a long spear.
The spear is topped with sacred wings, with two crescent moons surrounding a precious pearl. Extending forward, it forms a sharp spearhead. Angel wings entwine the shaft of the spear. The overall design is elegant and grand, yet undeniably magnificent.
Wendy was forced into this situation. Years ago, she had learned a few fancy moves from Zhongli, and now they were coming in handy. Ruixue's twin blades were indeed powerful. Separately, they were two sharp weapons, and when combined, they became a large throwing dart. Ruixue herself also had extremely strong physical abilities because of her ability to make words come true. For a time, she couldn't please either side.
"If this continues, Ruixue's mind will be eroded even more severely, and then it will be beyond saving." Wendy was anxious. His spear transformed into a lyre, whipping up a gale to imprison Ruixue.
"You should be a little quieter too!" Wendy's divine power surged, and this time the divine power he expended even interfered with the national fortune system. Wendy, who suddenly felt the pressure increase, didn't even frown. Black energy kept emerging from Ruixue's body until it completely disappeared.
"Bang!" The door was flung open. Wendy's vision was already blurry. As she fell, she saw the crowd rushing over.
Wendy, who had exhausted her power and transformed into a wind sprite, was placed on Xiao's head. Yingda even curiously poked at it, only to have Xiao blush and swat Yingda's paw away.
The national fortune system malfunctioned for a long time before finally issuing a notification: "Congratulations to Blue Star for successfully completing this mission... You have obtained... Please check back later..."
Unfortunately, the player "Star of Sickness" failed to clear the level and was ordered to carry out the elimination mission...
Hint: The next national destiny will take place in space. All participants, please prepare yourselves.
Strangely, the nation seems to be consciously concealing the rewards bestowed upon Blue Star, as if it doesn't really want to give them to Blue Star.
Su Bai beckoned with her finger, and a man immediately appeared beside her. "Hmm, arrange something a little more difficult next time." Su Bai was completely different from before; her tone was flat, her eyes indifferent, and she was a completely different person from when she first met Wendy. Her entire demeanor was different as well. "Yes, Lady Su Bai," the man nodded in agreement.
"What a pity, was the difficulty too easy this time after all?" Su Bai looked at Wendy on Xiao's head. "I thought we were on the same path, but it seems we were never meant to be. Wendy, I'm looking forward to your future performance, so don't disappoint me too much..." Su Bai waved her hand, and the scene in front of her was switched away.
Having concluded this national event, Xiao pursed his lips, deciding to return to Teyvat first and ask Wendy about his plans after she woke up.
