Chapter 1033: Blood, Soul and Memory of the Divine Sakura Tree

Ying and Paimeng hurried to the place marked on the map.

"Strange, why didn't we see any Beast Realm hounds?"

"Didn't they say they came in large numbers and were of a terrifying scale?"

Paimon scratched his head and searched around the roots of the sacred cherry tree, but there was no Beast Realm hound to be found.

"If the adventurer's information is correct, someone...killed the Beast Realm Hound before us." Ying guessed.

Paimeng suddenly curled his lips: "Okay, I know who it is? This is what Jiang Yi said... fate? A fateful meeting!"

Ying looked up, slightly surprised, but not too surprised.

"He really knows how to find opportunities to get close to girls." She pouted, "Is this General Thunder? Or Shadow?"

In front of us are the two gods of Inazuma.

Surprisingly, General Raiden came out of the castle tower again. Did he listen to what they said last time about going out more often?

"Now I am sure that the fate that Jiang Yi talked about may be related to General Lei Dian or Ying..." Paimon put her hands on her hips, her intuition told her that Jiang Yi seemed to be preparing to do something incredible.

"Go up and say hello!" Ying did not hide the sound of his footsteps.

"Long time no see, General Ying?" She looked at the god in the unchanging purple kimono.

I can't tell the difference.

"Long time no see!" Ying said.

"From the tone, it seems to be Ying?" Paimon guessed.

"Yes! It's me!" Ying said. She was a little surprised at this time. Jiang Yi distinguished her from the general before she spoke.

"What? Are you a little surprised that I'm here?" she said.

"Yeah!" Ying nodded.

"I'm making initial preparations for something. Last time you accompanied me for a walk in Inazuma. After witnessing all the human affairs nowadays, I have more or less understood some truths that I didn't understand in the past." Ying said softly, "Since then, whenever I encounter a bottleneck in my thinking, I will unconsciously want to come out and take a look."

"Well, it seems that you really listened to our advice." Paimon felt that he had done a great job. "That's right! Staying in one place all the time will make you feel suffocated."

Ying crossed his arms, paused, and said, "...Let me reiterate that this is not a pastime."

"..."Ying blinked. Gods can also be arrogant?

"I know!" Paimeng held back his laughter and floated in the air, commanding, "Come on, Jiang Yi, give me the jade slip!"

Jiang Yi gave a jade slip to everyone he met. Now that he met Ying, he should give her another one, or two? It was obvious from Ying's appearance that she didn't get it, otherwise, with her personality, she would definitely take it in her hand to study it.

Although you cannot send pictures or chat with Mondstadt Liyue in Inazuma, you can still communicate with each other through the jade slips inside Inazuma.

Jiang Yi glanced at the "arrogant" Paimeng and took out the communication jade slip: "With this, you can meet people all over the world, and know what's going on at home. Although I can't reach this level now, it's enough to chat with others to relieve boredom. You can hide your identity and remain anonymous!"

"Another rare human machine, no! Is it the treasure of the Liyue Immortal?" Ying saw the immortal power on the jade slip as soon as he got it.

"This was invented by Jiang Yi. I'll teach you how to use it." Ying said.

"Before teaching, let's first solve what Ying wants to do!" Jiang Yi said, "Otherwise, you won't be in the mood, right?"

"Hmm? Is it something else that Ying and I don't know?" Paimeng looked at Jiang Yi and then at Ying. He saw them talking before.

"Nothing." Ying seemed not to want to talk about it for the time being. "Recently, I have observed from the Pure Land of One Mind that many changes have taken place in the outside world. The most serious one is the attack of the Beast Realm Hound on the Divine Sakura Tree."

"I think we should pay attention to this. So I chased the monster all the way here, and happened to meet Jiang Yi, and now I've met you."

She looked at the roots of the sacred cherry tree in front of her. After the bark of the roots was broken, blue energy juice flowed out.

Fortunately, it’s not too serious.

The root system maintenance work can be handed over to the community.

Ying was very surprised: "With the three magistrates and adventurers, we don't need to bother you with monster matters, right?"

Gods have always been a country's last resort and they will not take action easily. Ying also said so before!

"The Beast Realm Hound will remind me of the great disaster that happened five hundred years ago..." Ying looked at Inazuma, who was now bathed in sunlight, with distant thoughts.

"At that time, the land was shrouded in a dark fog, and monsters were rampant... The disaster claimed countless lives, and the homes that people had worked so hard to build were almost destroyed."

The ruins today are what remain of the past, and there should have been many people living in these places.

Ying sighed in his heart: "The monsters have committed many atrocities on the land of Inazuma. The beast hounds have always been the vanguard of the monsters. They use their sharp claws to tear open the space channel and summon more powerful beasts."

"At the beginning... Jiang Yi's aura, that absolute darkness, that ominous and humus power that was stronger than any mortal being, touched the rules I set for the puppets."

"We treated it as the same kind of entity that appeared in the disaster five hundred years ago."

Paimeng suddenly realized: "So, General Lei Dian took action personally to suppress Jiang Yi."

"Hmm! Although it looks a little different from the darkness now, mixed with more civilization, dreams and elemental power, I still can't mistake its essence." Ying said, "If it was just a beast hound, the general might leave it alone and abide by the rules I set for her and let the three officials handle it."

"But the nature revealed by Jiang Yi at that time was too high, which made the general alert. And in Yi Xin Pure Land, after I saw it, I was even more determined to imprison him in a secret realm and suppress and eliminate him." She did not hide her previous thoughts.

Even now, Jiang Yi looks dangerous.

It's just that what Jiang Yi has done now makes her trust him.

"With the appearance of these beast hounds, I think as the god of Inazuma, I should also be vigilant. So, I am here." Ying said.

"Five hundred years ago, Kanriya..." Ying whispered. She understood Ying's concerns.

"It seems you have heard of it... This is not surprising." Ying looked at the sky, "That is a fragment I will never actively recall."

"Perhaps in your opinion, I am a little too defensive against this kind of creature. But... there is nothing wrong with this kind of overreaction." She said, "And Jiang Yi, I won't stop you from taming the beast hounds, but if they get out of control..."

Jiang Yi promised: "You don't have to tell me, I will kill them too!"

Ying nodded: "That's good!"

Researching ancient machinery, abyss monsters, dark beasts... is actually very normal in the continent of Teyvat. The only thing is that the research must never cause harm to the outside world.

"Huh? Jiang Yi is taming the Beast Realm Hound?" Paimon didn't know about this yet.

"It's just like turning wolves into dogs, except these wolves are from other people's homes..." Jiang Yi said, "Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you fight against 'gold'."

"Golden" Rhinedort, the creator of the Beast Realm Hound, Jiang Yi is ready to challenge the opponent's Black Earth Technique, so he starts by subduing the Beast Realm Hound.

If darkness comes again, we can attack the enemy's front with our own spears without fear of loss.

Moreover, these beast hounds are indeed worth studying and utilizing, aren’t they?

This ability to tear space apart is pretty good no matter what.

"Paw Patrol?" Ying joked.

"It sounds like it has become much weaker all of a sudden." Jiang Yi shrugged, "Let's go and clear out the beast hounds on Ming Shen Island."

Paimeng chuckled and said, "I feel really safe following Ying and Jiang Yi."

If she had a tail, she would be so arrogant that it would reach the sky.

Everyone moved forward.

Ying and Paimeng looked at those dangerous and ferocious beast hounds. After meeting Jiang Yi, their eyes immediately became dull and soon they turned into dogs wagging their tails. They were locked up in a cave by Jiang Yi.

"Ying, he looks so scary inexplicably! If Jiang Yi is the villain, it seems..." Paimon shuddered, feeling that a large group of people might turn into such dogs.

"It's the hypnosis and brainwashing in the novel." Ying forced herself to remain calm. Such a Jiang Yi was indeed very dangerous for a girl.

It’s hard to imagine that Jiang Yi is actually a gentleman?

She had strange thoughts about things that were not suitable for children.

It is true that power can be used for good purposes, but can be used for evil purposes.

"Look! Is that the juice flowing from the Divine Sakura Tree? It seems to be glowing..." Paimon suddenly pointed. The curved roots of the Divine Sakura Tree sticking out from the ground left blue blood-like energy. Some of it solidified under the roots, and some of it dripped everywhere with the ghost claws of the Beast Realm Hound.

At this moment, these energy juices emitted a faint blue light, which gradually became brighter and bluer, bringing up a hazy mist. Wherever the mist passed, the light scattered everywhere and gathered into glowing human figures of various shapes, like souls.

Everyone looked together.

The glowing people were wearing Inazuma-style armor. Most of them were lying on the ground injured, with only a few standing weakly, looking quite miserable.

"Are they dead people? Just like the ones we saw in our previous journey." Paimon asked doubtfully. These people looked a bit like the souls in Wuwangpo, or the ghosts beside Wangshu Inn.

She was a little puzzled. Was this the boundary between life and death? How did they appear here?

So much more.

Ying's expression changed slightly: "Maybe you can go and confirm it."

Jiang Yi looked at the many figures.

During the Great Purification of Kamizakura, a similar but filthy samurai also appeared.

A soldier standing up gasped in pain: "Uh uh - I can't just fall down like this... My brothers still rely on me..."

Paimon stepped forward and asked the soldier.

"Who are you? Why are you here? Run! The beasts will come back. Once they target you, you will never be able to escape!"

When the soldier saw Paimon, he immediately warned him.

Covering the wound with difficulty.

"We...will definitely protect Inazuma until the very last moment!"

Ying looked at the communicative soldier and asked along with Paimon.

"What happened? The beast...?"
