Phoenix Descends on Qi Mountain, Guanghan Fairy Secretly Arrives in Chaoge!

Nuwa Palace, Buzhou Mountains.

Nuwa Sage said, "Guanghan Fairy, come to your master at once."

Not long after Nuwa Sage spoke, Guanghan Fairy arrived before her.

Guanghan Fairy respectfully bowed to Nuwa Sage. "Master!"

Nuwa Sage said, "Guanghan Fairy, your master has a task for you."

Guanghan Fairy asked, "Master, what task?"

Nuwa Sage said, "Go to Chaoge at once..."

After Nuwa Sage finished speaking, Guanghan Fairy bowed to her.

"Master, this disciple guarantees the task will be completed!"

Nuwa Sage nodded. "Go."

Guanghan Fairy said, "Yes, Master."

With that, Guanghan Fairy left Nuwa Palace directly.

Haojing City, Western Qi.

After Jiang Shang returned to Haojing with Ji Chang, Ji Chang held a banquet to welcome him and wash away the dust of his journey.

The next day, at Western Qi's morning court.

Ji Chang formally appointed Jiang Shang as the Chancellor of Western Qi, placing Western Qi's military and political powers under his command.

Moreover, Ji Chang ordered the construction of a Chancellor's Residence for Jiang Shang in Haojing City.

Just then, a Western Qi general hurried into the great hall.

"Reporting to the Marquis, a phoenix has descended from the heavens upon Qi Mountain north of Western Qi!"

Ji Chang and the officials of Western Qi were utterly shocked upon hearing this.

At that moment, Jiang Shang burst into laughter. "Ha, hahaha!"

Hearing Jiang Shang's laughter, Ji Chang and the Western Qi officials all looked at him.

Ji Chang asked in confusion, "Why is Chancellor Jiang so delighted?"

Jiang Shang bowed to Ji Chang. "Congratulations, Marquis! Congratulations!"

Ji Chang said, "Where does this joy come from?"

Jiang Shang said, "Marquis, the phoenix cries upon Qi Mountain—this signifies that Western Qi is about to rise in great prosperity."

Ji Chang and the Western Qi officials were thrilled upon hearing this.

"Is this true, Chancellor Jiang?"

Jiang Shang nodded. "Of course it is true!"

In truth, the phoenix that had descended upon Qi Mountain was an illusion created through the divine arts of Antarctic Immortal of the Elucidation Sect.

This phoenix possessed only the form of a phoenix, without the slightest trace of phoenix origin bloodline.

Ji Chang and the officials of Western Qi rejoiced greatly.

Then Ji Chang said, "Doctor Sanyi, convey my order: prepare to hold the court-opening ceremony three days from now!"

Sanyi Sheng said respectfully, "Yes, Lord Marquis!"

Seeing that his purpose had been achieved, Jiang Shang nodded with a smile.

Chaoge City.

A young woman mingled among the crowd as she made her way toward the Fei Residence.

Before long, the young woman arrived at a secluded corner of Fei Zhong's residence.

After looking around and seeing no one nearby, the young woman's figure flashed, and she vanished into thin air.

The main hall of the Fei Residence.

Fei Zhong and You Hun were both wearing worried expressions.

You Hun said, "Lord Fei, at least think of a way!"

Fei Zhong shot You Hun a glance. "Lord You, what way can I possibly think of?"

You Hun said, "Lord Fei, we can't just sit and wait for death, can we?"

Just then, a majestic, icy voice rang out beside Fei Zhong and You Hun's ears.

"Fei Zhong, You Hun, I have a good way to ensure that you remain free of worry!"

Fei Zhong and You Hun had originally been filled with sorrow.

But upon suddenly hearing that imposing, icy voice, their faces changed drastically, and they sprang to their feet in alarm.

"Who is it? Who's playing tricks and pretending to be a god???"

Fei Zhong and You Hun trembled like startled rabbits, their eyes darting everywhere in search of the voice's source.

Yet no matter how hard Fei Zhong and You Hun searched, they could not find the slightest trace.

Just as Fei Zhong and You Hun were searching all around, that cold voice rang out once more.

"Fei Zhong, You Hun, there is no need to search. How could mortal men with ordinary flesh and eyes possibly see me?"

Fei Zhong and You Hun cried out, "Could it be... that you are one of the legendary immortals?"

After speaking, Fei Zhong and You Hun looked around with worshipful expressions.

"Immortals???"

"In my eyes, immortals are no different from ants!"

Fei Zhong and You Hun were so shocked that they practically jumped.

"What? What did you say? Even immortals are like ants in your eyes?"

"Correct!" The cold, majestic voice sounded again.

At once, Fei Zhong and You Hun became incomparably excited.

Fei Zhong and You Hun respectfully said, "We did not know of Your Excellency's arrival. We beg Your Excellency not to take offense!"

The moment Fei Zhong and You Hun finished speaking, a figure whose face could not be seen appeared out of thin air before them.

This faceless figure was a divine ability displayed by the Guanghan Fairy.

Fei Zhong and You Hun were startled.

Fei Zhong and You Hun immediately said with utmost respect, "Greetings, Your Excellency!"

The Guanghan Fairy said calmly, "Rise and speak!"

Fei Zhong and You Hun respectfully replied, "Yes, Your Excellency."

Just as Fei Zhong and You Hun rose, a powerful, invisible Primordial Spirit entered their minds directly.

The terrifying Primordial Spirit immediately took control of Fei Zhong and You Hun.

In an instant, the expressions with which Fei Zhong and You Hun looked at the visitor became even more reverent.

The Guanghan Fairy said coldly, "Fei Zhong, You Hun, I heard everything you discussed just now."

"Tell me about the current state of the Great Shang Dynasty."

Fei Zhong and You Hun respectfully said, "Yes, Your Excellency."

Afterward, Fei Zhong and You Hun took turns telling the Guanghan Fairy about the affairs of the Great Shang Dynasty.

After hearing them out, the Guanghan Fairy pondered for a moment.

The Guanghan Fairy said, "Fei Zhong, You Hun, I have a plan."

"So long as the plan succeeds, I guarantee that you will enjoy inexhaustible glory and wealth from then on."

Fei Zhong and You Hun hurriedly said with respect, "We beg Your Excellency to enlighten us."

The Guanghan Fairy said, "Fei Zhong, You Hun, tomorrow, the two of you will enter the palace and seek out Su Daji."

"Su Daji will tell you the plan that follows."

Fei Zhong and You Hun hurriedly said, "Your Excellency, Su Daji is the Noble Consort. We cannot enter the inner palace."

The Guanghan Fairy said coldly, "Fei Zhong, You Hun, can't you use your brains?"

Fei Zhong and You Hun heard the Guanghan Fairy's words.

Fei Zhong suddenly remembered that he was very familiar with Gunjuan, a palace maid of the Longevity Immortal Palace.

At once, Fei Zhong respectfully said, "Thank you for Your Excellency's reminder. We know what to do."

The Guanghan Fairy nodded. "Good. I will help you complete the plan."

With that, the Guanghan Fairy's figure vanished directly from before Fei Zhong and You Hun.

After leaving Fei Zhong's residence, the Guanghan Fairy glanced in the direction of the imperial palace.

Then, with a flash of her figure, the Guanghan Fairy vanished through the air toward the imperial palace.

Elsewhere in the Longevity Immortal Palace.

Ever since Di Xin had bestowed titles upon them, the three demonesses—Su Daji, Hu Ximei, and Wang Guiren—had remained in this hall.

At that moment, a voice rang beside the ears of Su Daji, Hu Ximei, and Wang Guiren.

"Su Daji, Hu Ximei, Wang Guiren, the three of you certainly are living at leisure, aren't you?"

"Have you forgotten the task Lady Nuwa entrusted to you?"

Upon hearing the voice, Su Daji, Hu Ximei, and Wang Guiren were instantly startled.

They knew this cold voice all too well.

It was the voice of the Guanghan Fairy, chief disciple under the Nuwa Sage.

At once, Su Daji secretly sent Di Xin a voice transmission. "Master, Guanghan Fairy, a disciple under Nuwa Sage, has arrived."

"What should we do to avoid being exposed?"

After hearing this, surprise flashed in Di Xin's eyes.

Then Di Xin replied, "First, listen to what Guanghan Fairy has come to see you about."

"Then report back to me!"

Su Daji replied through voice transmission, "Yes, Master!"

After finishing the voice transmission, Su Daji immediately said with utmost respect, "Su Daji pays respects to Senior Guanghan Fairy upon your arrival!"

The moment Su Daji's words fell, a figure appeared before the three of them in an instant.

That figure was none other than Guanghan Fairy!
