Conferred Gods: Start with a Phoenix clone

Chapter 653 Chang Xi
"Hey, luckily I have sharp eyes!" Deng Chanyu saw a "broken wooden board" out of the corner of her eye and picked it up to examine it, only then did she confirm that it was the tablet used by the Emperor of Fengdu when he held court.

Even though the Emperor of Fengdu would not go to the Lingxiao Palace for ten thousand years, it is always good to take everything.

He looked at it carefully twice more to make sure nothing was missed before leaving.

"Where are you running, you thief?!" Nezha threw out the Qiankun Ring, and a six-legged, two-winged, pitch-black beast that looked like a wild wolf was killed by him with one blow.

More underworld beasts came from all directions, and in the distance there were some human-shaped phantoms with red eyes. These were the souls of humans who were born and died here, and their eyes were full of disgust for the living.

Daji and her group were undoubtedly surrounded.

The little blue phoenix revealed its true form as a blue phoenix bird, flew into the air, and spewed out scorching flames in all directions.

Daji was a bit like a summoner. With the similar characteristics of Yintu and the Netherworld, the six beast spirits that made up Chongyunxiao were summoned out. The big white dog Di Ting was not good at fighting, but he also followed Daji to protect her. Daji even summoned thirty-six paper figures in one breath whose combat power was comparable to that of the Yellow Turban warriors.

Chong Yunxiao cooperated with Nezha to constantly disrupt the enemy's encirclement, leaving their own side with a way to retreat, while Di Ting passed the enemy's information to the hostess.

Daji drew her bow and drew her arrow. Nezha, who received her signal, also took out his bow and arrow. They aimed at the same direction at the same time. The next moment, the arrows cut through the many underworld beasts blocking the way and locked onto a woman in a moon-white palace dress. She had a graceful and elegant temperament. Even though she had become a ghost, her every move was still full of luxury.

Nezha's Sky-shaking Arrow was fast, chasing the stars and the moon, and arrived in front of the woman in an instant. The woman only had some instincts left. She raised a ring-shaped weapon as crystal clear as moonlight and knocked it casually towards the outside.

There was a crisp "click" sound.

The Sky-shaking Arrow was extremely powerful, and the woman was a little too arrogant. Although the arrow was knocked away, the ring in her hand also scattered a large amount of moonlight essence. The broken light covered an area of ​​a thousand feet in radius. Many ghosts were placed in the quiet moonlight, and their cruelty and murderous aura dissipated most of the time, and several holes appeared in the encirclement in an instant.

Daji's sunset arrow is concealed and ruthless, and it also contains the heroic spirit of the witch clan in fighting against heaven and earth.

The woman was exhausted after shooting down the Sky-shaking Arrow. Facing a stronger arrow, she was unable to resist at all. She sighed, and her body turned into a ray of white moonlight, connecting with the light column in the sky, and disappeared out of thin air.

"Let's go quickly!"

Daji and Nezha each stretched out their hands to recall the arrows. At this time, the arrowheads were covered with frost. This ice was not cold. On the contrary, it gave people a sense of tranquility and peace.

The woman's strength was far above theirs, so they used a trick to force the enemy back. Daji did not delay any longer, and before the encirclement of the ghosts was formed, she hurriedly retreated with the two naughty children.

"A ghost who uses moonlight as a weapon?" When Deng Chanyu found them, the three were hiding in a valley. Daji used paper figures to block the yang energy of the three people to avoid being pursued by many underworld beasts and ghosts.

Daji said, "Yes, she is a very beautiful woman with a good temperament. Judging from her attire, she seems to be a married woman."

She emphasized the words "very beautiful" and "after getting married." Deng Chanyu pretended not to hear the subtle implication and asked, "Could it be the Moon Goddess Chang Xi? Could that be the Moon Spirit Wheel she's holding?"

Daji remained noncommittal: "I'm not the reincarnation of an ancient great being. How could I possibly know a deity of this level?"

Deng Chanyu scratched her head. She had naturally heard similar rumors before, and she strongly suspected that it was Zhen Yuanzi who spread them! This cheap brother was worried that his background was too low, which lowered his level.

"This...it's hard to explain in a few words. Actually, I just did that recently." She spoke vaguely, and you can understand it however you want.

Is Deng Chanyu considered the reincarnation of a powerful being? In terms of her true form, she's nothing! She's just an ordinary military commander.

Judging from the Phoenix side, that origin is indeed high.

Is this easy to explain? Wouldn't this reveal Long Ji's affairs? Deng Chanyu wasn't mentally prepared yet, so she was still trying to stall.
"Ahem, that ghost that looks like Chang Xi isn't your chance, right?"

"Of course not. Why would I need a female ghost?"

"Then let's not get entangled with her and just go around her."

The Moon Essence Wheel is indeed an extremely high-level innate spiritual treasure, but the two celestial bodies, the Sun and the Moon, involve too many ancient secrets. Haotian is now the master of the three realms, but he has not occupied the Sun. He also allows Chang'e and the Jade Rabbit to live on the Moon. At most, he sent a bootlicker Wu Gang, and did not send any of the remaining heavenly soldiers and generals.

Why not occupy these two planets that patrol the prehistoric world? What is Haotian worried about?
Even Haotian hesitated to move forward, and Deng Chanyu would not get herself involved for the sake of an innate spiritual treasure, the Moon Essence Wheel. She only wanted the visible benefits, and it would be better for her to stay away from troublesome matters like Xihe.

They traveled thousands of miles and came to a gathering place of the Yintu people. The opportunity that Daji felt was somewhere in the back mountain here, and it seemed that it had not been born yet.

They observed from afar that in the villages of these Yintu people there was a kind of flame called Yin Fire. Like a bonfire, the flame burned day and night in the center of the village, not only providing limited light, but it was also said that this fire could protect the human race and resist the invasion of the dead souls outside.

However, the Yin Fire has a limited coverage area, so they must maintain their tribe at a smaller scale. Whenever the population exceeds a certain limit, they must move far away to avoid attracting the dead souls due to excessive popularity.

In general, their living conditions are extremely bad and they can only survive in misery.

The Yintu people have already spawned more than a dozen tribes, but the total population is only 18,000. It's a little small, but if all of them were taken to work in the underworld, the work efficiency of the underworld would undoubtedly be greatly improved.

Through a clichéd rescue plot, they rescued a hunter from the tribe and were subsequently introduced to the tribal witch doctor, an old man with a sinister aura and a face as stiff as wood.

The old man asked, "Are you from outside this town? Where are you from and where are you going?"

Deng Chanyu, the leader of the "outsiders," said, "We've recently gained some insights and are planning to invite you and the wise men in your tribe to serve as officials in the underworld."

"Haha." Even though the old man was laughing, his facial expression was extremely stiff. "Do you know why we have fallen to this point? We are sinners. We cannot leave the netherworld until we have redeemed our sins."

The old man told Deng Chanyu a story. The plot of the story was very simple.

In the past, Suiren found fire and taught the tribesmen how to use it. This was definitely a good thing in the eyes of later generations, but at that time, it was still opposed by many tribesmen. They believed that fire was something used by the Emperor of Heaven and immortals, and that if humans stole fire privately, they would be punished by heaven in the future.

Fuxi had not yet awakened his past life memories at that time. As the leader of the tribe, he made the decision to exile all the tribesmen who opposed the use of fire.

Aren't you worried about being implicated? Okay, he banished these diehards to the dark underworld, never to return. Ironically, these former opponents now have to rely on Yin Fire to resist the ghosts from the outside world.
