Conferred Gods: Start with a Phoenix clone

Chapter 1539 Haotian Returns to Zixiao Palace

Sun Wukong returned to Huaguo Mountain in triumph, and the people in the underworld were also very excited. Daji, Emperor Dongyue, and the Ten Kings of Hell all came into battle to settle all those unclear accounts.

There are too many accounts to be closed, and the Ten Kings of Hell are working patiently and doing their best, but their work efficiency can be imagined. They work for ten minutes, sit in a daze for ten minutes, and then spend another five minutes thinking, which page did I close fifteen minutes ago?

Gentlemen like Daji and Emperor Dongyue are the main force in settling accounts. Emperor Dongyue at least has Huang Tianhua to help him, but Daji is not so easy. After all, Zhong Wuyan is a guest general, not an official of the underworld. Settling accounts involves the biggest secret of the underworld, so she really cannot be allowed to interfere.

Daji looked left and right, and soon saw Di Ting sleeping beside her. It’s you!

This guy has heard too many secrets. If he doesn't want to be made into dog meat hotpot, he has no choice but to follow along.

A quarter of an hour later, the big white dog sat behind the table like a human being, holding a pen in his hand, and followed them to settle the bill with a look of despair.

Although there are internal struggles in the underworld, they are highly consistent in their opinions on external matters, especially on the issue of the Book of Life and Death.

The inside story of the Book of Life and Death cannot be exposed, and the bad debts in it must be written off quickly.

Everyone has a task. Some are busy settling accounts, and naturally some are busy writing reports.

This matter must be reported to the Heavenly Court to prove that our originally clear accounts were destroyed by a guy with a hairy face and a loud mouth.

Everyone knows the relationship between Daji and Heaven. In order to demonstrate the fairness of Heaven, it is not convenient for her to go there.

The Emperor of Dongyue is directly under the Heavenly Court, but because he is too direct, the reports from his own family members are almost not effective.

Finally, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva sent someone to submit a petition to the Heavenly Court. This was originally a matter for Buddhism, so it was reasonable for him to take the lead.

The underworld also contacted the Dragon Palace and prepared to submit a joint report to increase the seriousness of the matter.

Someone in the underworld was writing furiously, while Deng Chanyu and Fenghuang were chatting.

"Everything is ready, only the east wind is missing. Will the old man do as we ask? Doesn't it require further communication?" Phoenix said without any context.

Deng Chanyu said, "I helped him deal with the Yin-Yang Patriarch, so we should have this tacit understanding! Looking at the direction of Zixiao Palace, that person finally couldn't help it. Now it depends on what excuse he will come up with. This is the last bit of kindness. Your cheap father-in-law is really decisive."

Haotian changed into a coarse Taoist robe and came to Zixiao Palace with a look of grievance.

Outside the door, he still looked like a middle-aged man, but after entering Zixiao Palace, he immediately shrank in size and regained the face of the handsome boy he had back then.

He really had no other way out. He wanted to cultivate to his peak state, and then find an opportunity to challenge Phoenix to a battle. Regardless of victory or defeat, he would at least take back some power.

However, after investigating for some time, he found that the number of old ministers loyal to him was decreasing and becoming more and more silent. Although they did not directly surrender to Phoenix, they were not as obedient to his orders as before.

Some time ago, Ji Shukun used the corruption of the Tianhe Navy to try to find something to hold against Zhu Yuanzhang and then show his loyalty to him. As a result, he was suppressed on the same day and arrested on the same corruption charges. He was interrogated for more than ten days and was only released recently. He was so exhausted that he was in a trance.

During this process, there was not a single minister who spoke for Ji Shukun, and Haotian knew that his influence was declining rapidly.

He must do something, otherwise the Supreme of the Three Realms will become a laughing stock.

What should he do? He could only activate his final killing move and come to Zixiao Palace to cry out!
He knelt straight in front of the platform: "Master, Tong'er is really at his wit's end. Please show me a way out. If that doesn't work, Tong'er will just come back to serve you!" He retreated to advance, knowing in his heart that he was using the last bit of affection between master and servant to force the palace. If he made a big mistake, Hongjun would ask him to come back, which would be reasonable and no one could say anything. Now he has not made any mistakes, at least not big ones, and handing over the authority of the Three Realms would affect Hongjun's fairness.

Haotian knelt on the ground, anxiously waiting for the final judgment.

It took a whole incense stick of time before Hongjun appeared.

Lao Deng glanced in the direction of Yuxu Palace, then at Lingshan, and finally his gaze fell on Haotian. "Your luck is really bad. You actually chose such a time to come and cry? I, an old man, don't know what to say to you."

Hongjun said calmly: "You are still the Supreme of the Three Realms. What do you want to do?"

Haotian felt distressed and frightened. Hongjun has always been emotionally indifferent and despises people who can't do things. If I, an old man, have to do everything, what do I need you for?

His crying this time basically wiped out all the affection between the master and servant in the past, and may have also consumed some of the affection belonging to Yao Chi.

Husband and wife are one, he can only say sorry to Yao Chi.

The arrow was on the string and had to be released. He chose his words carefully and said, "Now the waters of the three realms are turbulent. Tong'er wants the Jade Emperor to tour the three realms and control the floods."

After Sun Wukong took away the iron Dinghai Shenzhen, the East China Sea was indeed in turmoil, with huge tides coming one after another. The East China Sea was connected to the South China Sea, and the South China Sea would affect the West China Sea and the North China Sea in the future.

As the original God of Water, Haotian wanted Phoenix to control the water.

Which river channels need to be dredged and which river channels need to be rebuilt all require careful consideration.

This is not a matter of casting a spell and all the waters will be calm. Immortals may not care, but mortals may not. A wrong decision or an unexpected key point may end up killing dozens of lives. These are all cause and effect.

Water control must be done with extreme care. Phoenix won't be able to come back for at least ten years after this trip.

The next ten years are Haotian's opportunity. When Fenghuang returns to the court, Haotian will be able to win over a group of civil and military officials. Together with the Nan Ji Xian Weng and Lei Zhenzi, he can at least compete with them.

Hongjun's expression didn't change at all: "Yes."

Haotian was overjoyed. He tried his best to suppress his joy and kowtowed solemnly. When he looked up again, he was the only one left in Zixiao Palace.

After returning to heaven, he immediately went to Tongming Palace and, in front of many civil and military officials, expressed his hope that the Jade Emperor would go to control the floods in the three realms.

If it were someone else, they would definitely scoff at this. "You ask me to control the floods, and I will? Am I stupid?"

What? Did Hongjun agree to this? Is there a decree from Hongjun? Words are useless. Are you kidding me?

Haotian believed that Fenghuang would not be so stupid. Fenghuang, who was handling official business, suddenly raised his head, put his left hand in his sleeve, and made quick calculations, and soon figured out the ins and outs of the matter.

If Haotian said it so bluntly, then we could just treat it as nonsense, but if Hongjun was included, the nature of the matter would be completely different.
