The audience had already given up hope for the reunion of High-Cloud Quintet, but they were suddenly attacked by Mihoyo.
Resurrecting Baiheng.
When Bailu, as Baiheng's reincarnation, walked on the Xianzhou, Jingliu became mara-struck, Dan Feng died, and Yingxing became Blade.
Giving everyone hope, but also giving them despair.
The feeling of back and forth, made countless fans feel heart-broken.
------------------------
In the Scalegorge Waterscape, Bailu, Stelle and Dan Heng have re-sealed Ambrosial Arbor.
The two High Elders, one large and one small, are facing Ambrosial Arbor.
In the camera, through the backs of the two, the audience seems to see the former Dan Feng.
"The Vidyadhara tribe has no parents or family members. After birth, there will be a mentor who teaches the young Vidyadhara to master the Cloudhymn techniques and various life knowledge."
"Dan Heng, do you have such a mentor?" Bailu asked in a low voice.
"I'm just a wanderer. In my fragmented dreams, there are always people who meet each other in battle, and on the journey, I have met many people who can be called mentors." Dan Heng recalled his past.
"As far as I can remember, only my families butler told me to do this or that."
"Only the doctors of Alchemy Commission asked me to cure diseases and save lives, and I don't know if they can be considered as mentors." Bailu turned around and said with a childish smile, "But I feel you can also become a good mentor."
These words made countless viewers burst into tears.
...
: That's not the case. You were best friends in your previous life!
: Not only were you good friends in your previous life, you even inherited the power of the same person.
: Can Bailu know the story of High-Cloud Quintet? I am so unwilling.
: Dan Feng, I am so upset!
: Although it is very sad, it is also good that Baiheng can live as Bailu!
: Bailu is Bailu, and she can be treated as another life.
...
Hearing Bailu's words, Dan Heng also turned around and said to the little one, "Dan Feng's friend or beloved disciple? Maybe."
"At first, I was just worried that Miss Bailu didn't have the power of the High Elder and would get into trouble sooner or later."
"Now it seems that I was worrying too much."
Bailu suddenly realized, "Is it about the part that you just taught me?"
Dan Heng nodded and said softly, "The previous High Elder Dan Feng was an extremely strong and could also use the Cloudhymn Technique to heal others."
"You have the power of to heal others, which is completely different from the power of destruction on my side."
Bailu put her finger on her lips and tilted her head to think, "It seems that at least half of Dan Feng's power is very useful."
Dan Heng was speechless.
The audience was once again shocked.
The barrage about Dan Feng filled the entire screen.
In the camera, as Ambrosial Arbor was sealed, Dan Heng and Bailu returned.
However, the intersection that should have been empty was full of people.
It was Huanxi and a group of Vidyadhara warriors who were plotting to assassinate Bailu, the high elder!
Bailu couldn't believe it.
She was extremely sad and extremely angry.
"I originally thought that the preceptors were just dissatisfied with me."
"I didn't expect that they even wanted to kill me!"
Bailu clenched her fists, stood behind Stelle, and said , "What a bullshit High Elder, do you think I want to be a High Elder!?"
The childish scolding contained deep helplessness.
"In my opinion, the Vidyadhara clan only needs one High Elder. The weak and useless one who stole the position should be eliminated."
Huanxi had no mercy on the master she served in the past.
For their Vidyadhara clan, Dan Heng's destructive power was in line with their imagination of the High Elder.
"Hmph!" Dan Heng snorted coldly.
The next moment, the battle suddenly broke out!
"You bad guys, I'll beat you to death!" Bailu smashed the gourd she carried with her and immediately hid behind Stelle. She poked her head out and observed carefully, her tail standing high behind her.
"You and those preceptors, both have problems with your brains!"
"Who wants to be the High Elder? If you hadn't locked me up since I was born, I would have run away!"
"Now you dare to kill me, I'm so angry!"
"If you have a brain disease, you should tell me earlier so that I can cure you!"
Bailu, who was hiding behind Stelle, yelled and cursed crazily.
The childish curse made the audience feel distressed and funny.
Dan Heng had a blank expression and fought with the members of the Vidyadhara tribe.
Water vapor filled the surroundings.
The attacks of these assassins were firmly blocked.
But the assassins who could come to assassinate Bailu were not easy to deal with.
On one hand, Dan Heng wanted to just protect Bailu, and on the other hand, he didn't want to commit murder again.
The two sides fell into a fierce battle for a while, with all the firepower coming from Stelle.
Bailu, on the other hand, although she was not good at fighting, never stopped trash talking the opponents.
"With your mediocre skills, you dare to be an assassin!"
"You couldn't even touch my big sister Stelle. I didn't expect that the people you brought were such useless guys!"
"From this point of view, I am more than qualified to be the High Elder!"
"You are a bunch of useless people who need to be punished. I will whip you so hard that your parents won't recognize you anymore!"
Bailu taking advantage of Stelle's fight, found the right moment and hit Huanxi in the face.
Huanxi felt pain and was extremely ashamed.
…
: Yes, that's how to draw!
: Damn, why does it feel like playing pvp, following a powerful main character and scolding the opponent.
: The strongest king and the king of big mouth.
: Hahaha, Bailu quality needs to be improved.
: What do you mean it needs to be improved? It's obviously to be reduced. These assassins are really useless.
…
This chaotic battle was suddenly stopped by a voice.
"It looks lively here." Jing Yuan walked out of the darkness alone, without even moving his hands, and was disrupted by the assassins.
"General, General!" Bailu who lay on Stelle's back, poked her head out excitedly, "Are you here to bring us reinforcements?"
"reinforcements? I am the reinforcement."
Jing Yuan walked leisurely into the crowd, crossed his arms, and looked at Huanxi with a smile.
"..." Huanxi's hands were trembling slightly.
With a resentful look, she looked at Bailu, "What a pity, what a pity! It's just a little bit short."
"Wake up, attacking the Dragon Girl is just destroying your remaining prestige." Jing Yuan shook his head and said casually.
Huanxi finally reacted and said in a panic, "I planned this matter alone, please don't frame anyone else casually."
Jing Yuan couldn't deny it. How could the seat oof Divine Foresight not know about Dan Heng, Stelle and Bailu's meeting?
The situation has come to this point, which is exactly what he expected.
""When the cloud knights sends you to the Ten-Lords Commission, ask the judge to judge you and we will know the truth."
"Ten-Lords Commission!?" Upon hearing this name, Huanxi trembled all over, her eyes filled with fear.
"No, I would rather die than go there." After saying this, Huanxi rolled her eyes and fainted on the ground.
Jing Yuan raised his lips and looked at the suspicious assassins.
"Why, assassinating a dragon girl is not enough?"
"Do you still want to fight with me, General Luofu?"
Just two simple sentences.
All assassins no longer had the will to fight.
…
: Is all this in the general's plan?
: Jing Yuan is so good.
: I guess we'll have to clean up the Dragon Master next
: I want to be the general's dog!
: MiHoYo, let Jing Yuan interact with everyone quickly. When will the Xianzhou activity be arranged?
…
On the screen, as the Cloud Knights arrived, they drove away the assassins.
Bailu also bid farewell to Dan Heng and left with Stelle for the time being.
She was about to return to the Vidyadhara Station under the protection of the Stelle to criticize the Preceptors.
As for Dan Heng, he had already traced the source, but was stopped by Jing Yuan.
"You can't leave now, old friend"
"Come with me to a place."
Jing Yuan sighed slightly and said to Dan Heng.
Catching the preceptors was one of the purposes of his trip.
The other was his personal matter.
"Old friend?" Dan Heng understood immediately.
"Let's go." Unlike the expected resistance, Dan Heng just calmly accepted Jing Yuan's invitation.
The two of them went to the deeper part of the Scalegorge Waterscape indifferently.
At the same time, on the other side, outside the island, there were full of Cloud Knights.
Under the high elders statue inside, there were only two people.
Blade, and Jingliu.
As Jing Yuan and Dan Heng arrived, the camera gradually pulled away.
Jing Yuan and the other two stood in a triangle.
On the left, Dan Heng crossed his arms and looked at them.
"...In this way, everyone is here."
"I didn't expect that after hundreds of years, the High-Cloud Quintet would be able to reunite again."
"If I remember correctly, seven hundred years ago, the five of us made a promise here that no matter how far apart we were, we would gather here and drink a cup together." Jingliu looked at the statue of Dan Feng beside him and said calmly.
With these words, the scene from 700 years was displayed on the screen.
It was also at noon on a sunny day.
Five people gathered here, drank wine together, and took a group photo.
At that time, Dan Feng's face was still covered.
Everyone was full of smiles and agreed to come back here again after the battle.
What happened next. The audience is very clear.
In the battle of Shuhu, Baiheng blew herself up.
Then came the Sedition of Imbibitor Lunae.
The oath made seven hundred years ago was not completed until this time.
"Unfortunately, the oath cannot be fulfilled. Because one of use had to undergo rebirth, one was cursed with immortality."
"One person… can no longer keep oaths."
"The friendship between us is gone."
Jingliu's tone was cold.
She had just met Bailu under the escort of Stelle.
These words made the audience feel that their hearts were being smoothly slid across by Jingliu's sword.
…
: The knife, it's a knife, wuwuwu, damn it, we've already talked about it before, but this knife is still chasing me.
: MiHoYo's foreshadowing is too long, it's too painful, md!
: Director Xia, stop using the knife, if you kill again, I will really die.
: Seven hundred years, everything has changed.
: Never set a flag again in the future!
…
The comments were endless.
But they never imagined that the real knife was still behind.
"Of five people, three have to pay the price."
"Dan Feng, acted on his own and caused chaos on the Luofu."
"Blade, now mad and arrogant, turned into a cursed immortal with the blessings of the Abundance."
"I, Jingliu committed evil deeds, killed her comrades, and betrayed the alliance."
Jingliu's eyes were covered with black cloth, no expression could be seen on her face.
She just listed the sins of the three people one by one.
"We will all face our own punishment in our own ways, and I will be escorted to the Ten-Lords Commission, and after that, a more severe price will be waiting for me."
"The High-Cloud Quintet, it's time to say goodbye."
The High-Cloud Quintet, which has been running through the plot since the beginning of the Xianzhou, finally came to an end here.
Here, the audience truly experienced the helplessness of the so-called High-Cloud Quintet story.
It's like a glass of wine, which becomes stronger and stronger with time.
When the wine is drunk finally, it is full of melancholy.
On the screen, as Jingliu finished speaking her words, Blade who had been waiting for a long time could no longer bear it.
He drew out the long sword in his hand and asked Jingliu to fight with him.
The two walked slowly under the High Elder's statue.
"Hahaha" Jingliu laughed. She was laughing at Blade, but also at herself.
"Thinking back seven hundred years. We are the same, talking and laughing, fighting, full of vigor and energy, and thinking about the future."
The next moment, a shrill note sounded.
The two disappeared from the spot and reappeared, with their swords colliding.
The fast paced battle made the audience unable to keep up with the speed of the two.
There were only explosions and smoke everywhere.
During this period, the figures of the two were stretched into a blue and red light.
Such a fierce battle.
The sound of swords clashing was particularly small on the screen.
And Jingliu's voice overwhelmed everything.
That voice was different from the coldness of the past. It was full of regret, lamentation, and emotion.
"The scenes of the few people from that time are still lingering in front of my eyes, as if it was a dream last night."
The voice fell.
Jingliu dodged three sections of sword slashes easily, and swung his sword and collided with Blade.
Sparks flew.
The two people in their youth appeared on the screen.
Jingliu's face did not change. But Blade in front of her smiled.
There was no sadness in his eyebrows.
Only the vigor and vitality of genius.
In the background music, the euphemistic and desolate trumpet sounded, matching the picture, tearing the hearts of the audience step by step.
The audience has seen that familiar tune in many places.
After the fight, the battlefield was filled with corpses and flags.
Under the setting sun, of the four people, some have grown-up, some have lost everything, some are just going through their like, and some have found a new goal to look forward to.
The heroes are old.
The past was once again shown on the screen.
Ding! The sound of clinking glasses rang out quietly.
Five wine glasses collided. Together, drinking freely.
That was the scene in the High-Cloud Quintet PV, where the five people talked and drank.
Back to the fight, Blade was no longer convinced by his previous calmness.
He seemed to have condensed all his hatred, lamentation, and emotions into one move after another.
The two of them did not hold back.
The sword moves between each other were full of murderous intent.
But whether it was Blade's cry or the sound of metal colliding.
They were all covered by the somber music and Jingliu's voice.
This made the audience feel that the two people fighting at this moment were like memories.
And the memories of High-Cloud Quintet in the past seemed to be things on the current timeline.
As Blade attacked from the sky again.
It should have been a thunderous roar, but it became insignificant.
"I thought such happy days would last as long as the life of the Xianzhou people."
"Day after day, endless cycle."
Sparks flew.
The young Yingxing was raising his glass to Jing Yuan.
Jing Yuan narrowed his eyes with a smile, wondering what happy things he was thinking of.
The scene suddenly changed.
In the sudden battle, weapons were inserted into the ground.
The terrifying appearance of the Mara struck Jingliu.
Scenes flashed by.
And Blade finally used the tip of the sword to tear open Jingliu's black cloth, revealing the eyes hidden behind it.
The red eyes were no longer cold, but were already filled with emotions.
The aftermath of the battle between the two made Jing Yuan and Dan Heng, who were standing in the distance, feel affected by it.
A sword slash fell beside Jing Yuan in the thick smoke.
Jing Yuan raised his head slightly, his white hair obscured his eyes, and only the corners of his mouth could be seen.
Dan Heng turned his back to High Elder's statue, and then retracted his gaze, but he himself was still in the shadow of the statue.
The sound of explosions became more and more.
Dull and depressing.
The last sound fell.
Blade stood on the ground, clenched his teeth, opened his eyes wide, and swung the long sword with all his strength.
Jingliu pursed her lips, her eyes were full of sadness, and gently swung out her sword.
"But, for dreams… You will eventually wake up, like a cloud dispersing!"
Baiheng's smile appeared at this moment on the screen.
Immediately, it was torn apart by a sword, which fell from the sky and pierced Blade into the ground.
Two seconds after the smoke from the explosion appeared, the music came floating and impacting, like a sonic boom.
