The Weapon Master Shall Never Die Bare-Handed in Genshin Impact [379]

After arriving at Wuwang Hill, Jia Changjiang finally swapped out his wheelchair…

For a cane.

According to Hu Tao, the place they were heading to had no smooth roads, making a wheelchair impractical.

The cane itself was something Hu Tao had conveniently grabbed from Wangsheng Funeral Parlor for him.

And, within minutes…

Jia Changjiang had already mastered the art of combat cane techniques.

From crowded shopping malls to furniture stores, even hospital corridors—he could visualize fighting in all sorts of terrain.

Well, in a way, a cane was a type of weapon.

And a surprisingly useful one, at that.

Jia Changjiang even figured out how to plant the cane into the ground, use it as a pivot, spin three times for momentum, and then dropkick an enemy in the face.

Wuwang Hill was eerily quiet, shrouded in a sinister atmosphere.

Even the Hilichurls here barely made a sound, as if the very land itself muted them, making the entire area feel even more unsettling.

"Yawn…"

Jia Changjiang stretched lazily. "Lumine still hasn’t arrived with the mementos?"

"She had to collect three different items without revealing anything about Wolf Bro. That’s bound to take time," Lao Meng said in her defense.

"I’m not worried about whether she can get them—just that it’s taking a bit long," Jia Changjiang replied.

Then, he glanced at Hu Tao.

"By the way… is it really safe for us living people to be going to this place?"

"What, are we gonna absorb too much yin energy or mess up our spiritual balance or something?"

He wasn’t actually concerned—he was just making conversation.

"Of course not," Hu Tao said nonchalantly. "I’ve spent tons of time there before."

She wasn’t the type to enjoy waiting around, so now that someone had started a conversation, she was more than happy to keep it going.

"But that place isn’t somewhere just anyone can go."

Just as she said this, a golden-haired figure appeared in the distance, floating companion in tow.

"I’ve got the mementos," Lumine announced.

"Xiao Wu’s dish, Mu Mu’s toy box, and Cong Zi’s Lantern."

"That fast?" Hu Tao chuckled. "They must’ve suspected something, huh?"

"But at least they didn’t follow us…"

Her tone shifted ever so slightly.

"Because if they had dared to come here…"

Though she was still smiling, there was a subtle but undeniable change in her voice.

"That would’ve crossed a line."

"Why do you sound like you’re about to exorcise them by force?" Lumine muttered, suddenly reminded of Jia Changjiang’s monk-like outfit from earlier.

"You two kinda give off the same energy sometimes."

"Maintaining the boundary between life and death is Wangsheng Funeral Parlor’s most important duty," Hu Tao said matter-of-factly.

Then, she smirked.

"Now, listen up—you better remember this."

"No matter what you see in there… don’t freak out."

"Otherwise…"

She twirled the [Staff of Homa] playfully.

"I’ll have to wipe your memories before we leave~"

"Huh? You can erase memories?!" Lumine was immediately intrigued.

"Does Wangsheng Funeral Parlor actually have a technique for that?"

She definitely wasn’t planning anything suspicious… probably.

"It’s super simple!"

Hu Tao beamed as she lifted the [Staff of Homa].

"You just take this family heirloom, give the back of the head a good whack—and bam! No more memories~"

"…?"

Jia Changjiang blinked in confusion.

This was memory erasure?

This wasn’t some advanced spiritual technique—this was just straight-up blunt force trauma!

If that counted, then Jia Changjiang himself had a whole arsenal of "memory-erasing techniques."

Hell, he even knew a legendary one—

The strongest one-on-one illusion: Physical-Type Eternal Slumber Technique.

No incantation needed.

Just a single well-aimed strike to the skull, and boom—lights out for years.

"Alright, alright, enough jokes."

Hu Tao grinned mischievously.

"Just listen to me, and everything will be fine."

She held up the [Staff of Homa], a flicker of flame igniting on its tip, forming a tiny fire butterfly.

"Now then—follow me. Don’t get lost."

She winked.

"We’re heading to the border of life and death."

Trailing behind Hu Tao, the group made their way deeper into the unknown.

Soon, they arrived at what could only be described as an otherworldly domain.

"What a bizarre place…" Paimon murmured in awe.

Jia Changjiang looked up.

Above them, ethereal figures drifted through the air—some moving with purpose, others lingering with regret and sorrow—all heading toward the depths of this mysterious realm.

At any given moment, someone in the world was passing on.

The number of wandering souls was countless.

"This… isn’t the underworld, is it?"

Jia Changjiang frowned slightly.

Hu Tao giggled.

"This isn’t some mythical hell or afterlife."

"It’s just a place where ley line energy is highly concentrated—a place close to death."

She glanced forward.

"We’re not at the true boundary yet. Our destination is further in."

Even here, Hilichurls and other monsters roamed, lingering at the fringes of the domain.

But they didn’t dare stray too far inside.

"Alright, let’s clean up a bit before we go in."

Hu Tao spun the [Staff of Homa] in her hands.

"This is a rare opportunity…"

"Let me show you Wangsheng Funeral Parlor’s secret spear techniques!"

With that, she launched into battle.

Both Jia Changjiang and Lumine watched from behind, quickly recognizing just how strong she actually was.

Moreover…

Lumine found herself envying the way Hu Tao wielded Pyro.

Her own elements—Anemo and Geo—didn’t react with anything.

For some reason, Pyro users always felt like they had an advantage over everyone else…

With Lao Meng protected, the group quickly cleared out the monsters and arrived at the heart of the domain.

Here, they encountered a peculiar mechanism—a puzzle that had Lumine stumped for quite some time.

There was only one ghostly flame available, yet two lanterns needed to be lit.

No matter how many times they tried, they kept running in circles, unable to progress.

At one point, both Lao Meng and Paimon nearly had a breakdown.

Eventually, Hu Tao—unable to hold back her laughter any longer—casually solved the puzzle by running an extra lap with the ghost flame.

The moment the path unlocked, she gestured grandly.

"And there you have it~"

Paimon clutched her chest.

"I really thought we were trapped forever…!"

"That’s the whole point."

Hu Tao shrugged.

"It’s a barrier to keep out those who shouldn’t be here."

The next moment, the path ended.

In front of them was a massive pit.

"…?"

Lumine stared blankly.

"Where’s the road? Why is there no road?"

Hu Tao flashed a bright smile.

"Isn’t it obvious?"

She pointed downward.

"Our path… is down there."

"We’re jumping in."
