Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

Chapter 347 Lingling City

On the way out of that dangerous place, Yue Tianlang told Dongfang Lei everything about the companionship, adventures and joys he had with everyone on the road.

I don’t know if it’s because he’s talked about it too many times, but now when he talks about these things, his tone has become so familiar, as if he is reciting a text, and even those thrilling moments are described in a light-hearted way.

Dongfang Lei listened attentively, his golden eyes flickering with a pensive glint. When he heard that everyone had gathered five Guardian Certificates, his grip on the gun suddenly tightened, and a cluster of tiny golden sparks erupted from the tip of the gun.

"That was truly thrilling. I can't believe you've all been through so much danger and survived all of it. Should I say it's luck or strength?" Dongfang Lei stroked the barrel of his gun with a half-smile, his eyes wandering over everyone's faces. "But..."

He suddenly lowered his voice: "Are you sure you want to take them to see Lord Lei Zun? He hasn't been in a good mood these days."

"Of course I know that, which is why I was thinking about whether I could meet her for Sister Xueqi's sake. Although they are not sisters, they have a very good relationship."

"That's true." Dongfang Lei nodded.

Hearing this, Kailin was stunned: "Wait a minute, according to what you said, is it possible that she has never been in a good mood?"

"You can understand it that way." Tianlang smiled awkwardly.

At this moment, Dongfang Lei said, "No, this time is different. My lady is worried about the Fallen Angel Troupe."

Zi Xuan's eyes widened. "You said the Fallen Angel Troupe has arrived in Linglang?"

Dongfang Lei nodded: "That's right, and they have already turned Ling Lang upside down."

As he finished speaking, the army had already arrived at the city gate. As they stepped through the gate, the bricks and tiles built around the fortress were scattered around in a very messy manner.

"Were these...all done by the Fallen Angel Troupe?" Karin couldn't help but exclaimed as she looked at the "ruins" around her.

Dongfang Lei, on the other hand, scratched his head and said, "Uh, you misunderstood. These are preparations to strengthen the city's defenses to prevent monster invasions. It just looks a bit messy."

"Oh, so that's it..." Kailin was stunned and quickly became embarrassed.

"It's really unique that they regard the defense works as an enemy invasion." Mo Yan clasped his hands and complained.

"What do you care?" Kailin said disdainfully, with her hands on her hips.

The crowd walked through the fortress and soon arrived at the main gate. The moment they entered the city, many strange gazes were focused on them from all around.

Walking into the city, Karin looked around and couldn't help holding her breath. The pedestrians around her were in a hurry. Everyone saw her passing by with vigilance in their eyes, as if she was a complete heretic.

At this moment, Kailin was about to ask, but Dongfang Lei suddenly said, "Oh, it's not their fault. They learned from the past. No one dares to trust anyone now, especially strangers like you."

"No way, is it that serious?" Karen asked in surprise.

"So, what did the Fallen Angel Troupe do to make the people here so disgusted?" Tianlang asked.

Dongfang Lei sighed again, "A week ago, they dressed up as mercenaries and forged identities to sneak into Ling Lang's mercenary association..."

"What?" Everyone stopped and was stunned.

"This is not the place to talk. The association is not far from here, so please be patient."

Everyone followed Dongfang Lei through the heavily guarded streets. On the way, the surrounding buildings were no longer made of wood or cement, but high-rise buildings made of steel, glass and alloy, which were very similar to the city they lived in in reality.

Kailin looked up at the neon signs suspended in mid-air, on which flashed holographic projections driven by elemental forces, and exclaimed in a low voice: "This place... is more advanced than I imagined."

"Of course, this place is close to the 'Abyss', which is the territory ruled by Shadow Overlord. There are many scientific researchers there, so this place will naturally be affected." Tianlang said with a smile, folding his hands.

"Everyone, we're here." Dongfang Lei pointed forward.

Soon, under his leadership, everyone came to a magnificent building with a badge hanging on it.

Dongfang Lei sent his soldiers to wait outside the door, while he led everyone to the conference room in the deepest part of the building.

As soon as they arrived at the door, they heard the discussion in the house, but the sound was too chaotic, even mixed with anger, anxiety, doubt and uneasiness.

At this moment, several people stood in front of the door, looking around hesitantly.

"It seems like we came at a bad time." Kailin pointed at the door and looked at Dongfang Lei.

Dongfang Lei sighed again: "Oh, don't worry about it. Don't you want to know the answer? Now is the time."

He pushed the door open and walked in. The creaking sound of the door caused the meeting room, which had been in an uproar just now, to fall silent for a moment.

"Everyone, I brought a few guests with me. I hope you don't mind?"

The air in the conference room froze instantly. More than a dozen pairs of eyes turned toward the door, and Karen could even hear someone gasp.

"Commander Dongfang, you are not kidding, are you?" A man with a scar on his face slammed the table and stood up.

"You're right. Wasn't it because of those 'outsiders' that Ling Lang fell into his current predicament not long ago?" said an old woman dressed as an astrologer.

Dongfang Lei smiled and said, "I understand your concerns, but please rest assured, because the person next to me is the 'Moon Saint', Lord Yue Tianlang, who shares the same name as Lord Lei Zun."

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

"Moon Saint? Could it be the master from Xuan Yue?" the scarred man exclaimed.

Dongfang Lei nodded, and all the members of parliament in the room gathered around him.

However, the look in everyone's eyes at this moment was more like suspicion than reverence for their savior. This was because Dongfang Lei's so-called Moon Guardian was actually a teenager of sixteen or seventeen. Not to mention his plain appearance, his essence was completely lacking the majesty of Thunder Lord.

"Commander Dongfang, you are not kidding, right? You said this guy is the Moon Saint? But I can't feel any contract from him at all." The scarred man turned around and asked.

Hearing this, Kailin smirked. "Oh, it seems there are still some discerning people here. Indeed, after spending so much time with this guy, I don't feel that he has any qualities that align with a guardian, other than the credentials he should have."

"Hey, now's not the time to sabotage things." Mo Yan sighed and said helplessly in a low voice.

"Guardian credentials?" Upon hearing this word, all the parliamentarians fell silent.

Indeed, the Guardian Certificate was proof of guardianship and the key to ensuring the guardian's continued existence for a thousand years. If the young man before him truly possessed the certificate, then his identity was unquestionable.

"So, you still dare to question me?" Tianlang put his hands on his hips with a bit of pride.
