The palm-sized scales exuded a warm silver-blue light, and the leaping flames were forced to extinguish because of a touch of damp activity. The sound of swords falling was endless, and the crisp sound was like the bell being struck in a clock tower.

With the last crisp sound of falling, the key of the cell was opened, and the man sitting cross-legged in the corner slowly opened his eyes, with a different kind of brilliance bursting out of his opened eyes.

"Looks like the time has come."

He murmured softly, resisting the pain from sitting cross-legged for too long and slowly stood up. He calmly took the sword handed over by his subordinates and said with a smile: "Foolish Kujo family, if you send me to the town magistrate, it will put me in a dilemma."

It was just a private cell, and there was no way it could be equipped with armed guards equal to those of the town magistrate. There were only twelve or thirteen people patrolling back and forth, and the martial arts they used seemed ordinary.

How can such weak power stop the arrival of that adult's scales?

Standing in place and drawing the sharp sword, a cold blade light appeared in the darkness. Tian Benqinghe admired it quietly for a moment, then closed the sword and used it in front of him like a crutch.

He asked his confidant: "Do you think we can succeed this time?"

"Of course he can! He is also a demon god who survived the fierce war. The battlefield was even the most intense Liyue. General Lei Dian cannot ignore his existence."

The confidant clasped his hands together and said enthusiastically, "I think she absolutely does not want to be the enemy of that lord. Moreover, there is the threat of the Dark Sea from Inazuma. If both sides suffer, the former loser will benefit in the end."

"Besides, the seal of Bayun Island will be broken soon. By then, the evil spirit will be rampant there, and it will definitely not be a good place to survive. After we settle down there, we can also promise to continue to provide minerals and other resources. Inazuma will definitely give Bayun Island to us because of the evil spirit."

"Not bad." Tian Benqinghe said approvingly: "After we take over Bayun Island, we can seal the evil spirit again. Then you will become a good place for survival, planting, and the production of weapons and resources such as ore."

"Although Inazuma also has a way to seal the evil spirit, as long as they don't give us the Baying Island, we will destroy their seal. However, those greedy nobles are unwilling to invest more resources for this."

"As for the Narukami Taisha Shrine? Haha, it's just a dilapidated shrine that has no sound at all after its branch was demolished, and can only be supported by the followers of the two Thunder Generals." Tian Benqing slowly took a step forward with a sarcastic look on his face.

"Now, let's go meet General Lei Dian. She will choose the best outcome. After all, Bayun Island is not important to her. We will win!"

Keiwa Tanamoto, who had no idea about the details of the invasion of Yamane Island, made a rampant statement.

"Lure the enemy deep into the territory and catch them in a trap. In the conflict between the Xumi Desert and the rain forest, this is the latter's favorite tactic. Most desert people will never be able to step over the sand barrier in their lifetime, and they have no idea about the environment of the rain forest."

Coral Palace watched the small fishes skimming through the water in the pond, tore apart the tiny bread crumbs with his fingers and scattered them, saying nonchalantly, "It is precisely because of the barrenness of the desert that they are very eager for rich land, even to the point of being pathological."

"Before I came into deeper contact with the desert, I never thought that anyone's desire for a piece of normal land could be greater than that of Haizhi Island, but the fact is that the desert people simply cannot suppress the desire to step into the rain forest."

"So the Thirty-Man Group's method often works?"

With a sword on his waist and a bow in his hand, he was alertly paying attention to the surrounding environment. Wu Lang felt a little confused: "As the saying goes, all is fair in war. Could it be that the desert people didn't remember any lesson after being fooled?"

Today's radicals are indeed a little too quiet. There must be something wrong when things are out of the ordinary.

"It's normal that you can't understand. Not everyone can think from the perspective of others. If Haizhi Island believes that Inazuma's land is prosperous, then why wouldn't the desert people also believe that the sacred Haizhi Island's land is fertile?

"At least here, we don't plan our daily water consumption. We can drink water whenever we are thirsty. There is no need to use sand to clean our bodies. We can keep our bodies moisturized."

Coral Palace Xinhai sighed, "Because of the rules set by the Order Council, there are very few desert people who are qualified to cross the sand barrier. Some people have never even seen a stream in their entire lives."

"Isn't the desert still similar to other countries?"

"Without a real identity, it is also difficult for them to obtain the qualifications to enter other ruling countries. The desert is a place where the strong prey on the weak. If you want to survive there, excessive kindness is a burden.

"It is difficult for them to accept the desert people living under barbaric rules. They can sympathize with the desert people's plight, but they also have to consider the safety of their own people. Living with barbaric rules is not what the desert people want, but they cannot escape the barbarity of the rules."

Looking at Goro who had been alert since morning, listening to the surrounding sounds with his ears erect, Coral Palace Xinhai suddenly smiled:

"Don't worry about the surroundings. All the radicals are going to attack the seal on Bayun Island. Currently, they don't have any power left on the island, so they won't pose a threat to the Coral Palace."

"What?" Goro exclaimed subconsciously, "Are they forcing the Tenryo Bugyo to fight the final battle with us? Moreover, the garrison has always been the responsibility of the Narugami Taisha Shrine, which is clearly giving them a reason to intervene..."

Goro's throat was dry. Although he was standing on the humid Haizhi Island, he felt more like the desert man that Coral Palace Xinhai had described. His throat was aching and he couldn't even speak coherently.

"That... Fox Fairy..."

As if guessing what Wu Lang wanted to say, Shanhugong Xinhai corrected him, "Not that person. The two fox fairies are not good people. They are more indifferent than you think."

"Also, the radicals are not crazy. On the contrary, they are very calm. The situation on Haizhi Island can only be barely maintained now. It is only a matter of time before they are defeated. They know very well that the moment they fail, they will lose the right to choose whether to survive or not."

"They knew in their hearts that Inazuma would never let them go. Goro, you should remember that there is more than one shrine on Kaijima. A shrine that has been ignored by everyone for many years and not even maintained by Kaijima collapsed when the war broke out."

The small fishes in the pond were scrambling frantically for the scattered bread crumbs. The bighead carp with a round belly was fighting for food tirelessly and greedily. This is how fish are. They never know their limits and don't know the benefits of stopping.

Coral Palace said indifferently:

"We are not Mount Sumeru. Even the most unscrupulous nobles will not allow the guys who destroyed the Shrine of General Raiden to continue to exist. They will die anyway, and without the Fatui as a retreat, they can only take advantage of the situation and fight to the death."

"Besides, do you think they wouldn't do this if there's a chance of survival? Rights, rights... Power and profit are more poisonous than Leth. There has never been a lack of these two things that would drive people crazy in Teyvat."

Wu Lang tightly grasped the hard bow in his hand, his knuckles were pale and bluish. The kind attitude of Lord Coral Palace since his return turned into a bubble at this moment, and his indifference at this moment was more biting than the cold current.

"You...know about this?"

"Do you know why I went to the desert?"

Coral Palace Xinhai asked back with interest, and then answered himself: "Because I wanted many desert people to ignore the temptation of water because of my words, and I succeeded. I did what even the Great Guardian of Aru Village could not do."

"Are you among the radicals?" Goro stumbled.

It turns out that participating in the struggle in the desert rainforest is not about training the ability to deploy troops, but about improving the ability to win people's hearts.

So what she said before...

"When he agreed with my ideas, he was no longer a radical, Goro. This is the fate that Kaijima must accept." Coral Palace Xinhai let go of the last handful of bread crumbs and watched the chubby pufferfish being knocked away:

"I promised you before that I would do my best to protect the people of Kaijima. I didn't lie, I will really do it, but there are some people I cannot protect. Kaijima must also take this opportunity to fully integrate into Inazuma."

The branch of Narukami Taisha Shrine is here, but there is not a single Narukami priestess...

Haizhi Island has been out of place since ancient times.
