    The sight of a hundred birds gathering around the phoenix was too spectacular. The people of Nan Dou, who lacked entertainment activities, soldiers, and scholars all came out to watch together.

    Deng Chanyu's expression became frozen for several seconds, and then suddenly she seemed to wake up, looking at Nan Bosing with a gaze like that of a rebel.

    "Auntie, this has nothing to do with me. I swear it on the river!"

    The Lord of the Southern Mansion in the constellation of Pegasus was frightened. The "Phoenix Singing on Qishan" of Xigqi had troubled Old Ji Chang for most of his life. It was only because the old man had established a stable image as a virtuous person that the Shang Dynasty emperor worried that killing a virtuous person would tarnish his own reputation. Moreover, as the old man grew older, he was not disturbed.

    Try someone younger? With everyone watching, divine auspiciousness has come to your home. What do you want to do?

    "Swear on the river water?" The loyal subject of the great Shang Dynasty, Deng Chanyu, drew out his sword, as if weighing whether Lord Nabing was trustworthy and how likely it was for him to escape.

    "Protect the lord!" Seven or eight muscular and strong men rushed in to protect E Chongyu.

    Lord Nabing shook his head and sighed. He had no intention of doing anything. Could it be the people below who did it? This is troublesome.

    However, he also has quite a decisive nature. Plus, with Deng Chanyu being just a woman, the detention and release of her is insignificant.

    If the person in front were to be changed to Deng Jiugong, he would have to give it some thought.

    "The virtuous niece can be assured to leave safely, I will not interfere."

    Deng Chanyu left the mansion of Lord Nabing in a state of panic, and as soon as she stepped out, she met Deng Ai and other servants.

    The household servants noticed that their young miss had a pale face and was sweating profusely on her forehead, and each one of them also appeared to be in a state of confusion.

    Deng Ai knew part of the inside story and felt that the Great Shang court owed Miss Deng a small golden statue. This performance, wow, it's amazing!

    Deng Chanyu was not acting. After manipulating her clone to create the scene of a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix, she felt an intense pain throughout her body, as if she were being ground in a huge mill. Her internal organs were shaking violently, and the powerful energy stored within her body was constantly flowing out to repair her injuries.

    This kind of injury came out of nowhere, and no one knows what happened.

    She stumbled, her mind focused on one thought: to quickly leave NanDu.

    The saying goes that when it rains, it pours. Not long after leaving the mansion of Lord Nabing, a group of people from behind came chasing after her.

    The leader was the son of Lord Nabing, E Shun.

    The young man who was posthumously dubbed "Greedy Wolf Star" was as greedy as ever, and acted without a brain. As soon as he saw Deng Chanyu and her party in the distance, he pointed at them and ordered his subordinates to chase after them quickly.

    This situation was unforeseen by anyone. Deng Chanyu, being a slow-job seeker who relies on her parents at home, what does one catch her for?

    Even if Deng Chanyu is currently dizzy, with only three-tenths of her martial arts skills being effective, and even during her peak, she couldn't have killed the son of Lord Nabing with a stone in the streets of Nan Dou.

    "Stop! The woman in front, stop!"

    "We can't let them leave Nan Dou!"

    "The young lord has ordered, capture them and receive a reward of ten thousand silver coins!"

    The more they ran, the harder the people behind them chased after them.

    "Run! Split up and run! Meet in the southern city." Seeing Lord Nabing, Deng Chanyu was dressed as a female general, but now she quickly took out a scholar's robe with white edges and black trim from her storage gourd, threw it over her soft armor, took off her earrings and other jewelry, and put on a square, flat hat like Ning Caichen's with two straps hanging behind her head, dressing as an educated man.

    The rest of the household servants also changed into similar clothing. By throwing eggs in all directions, they were very familiar with the terrain, one on the east and one on the west, breaking up and disappearing quickly.

    Deng Chanyu was not as familiar with the streets as the other household servants, but she had walked through them several times herself. She thought she could definitely escape, but she didn't expect that E Shun might be a hunting dog in disguise, with his tracking skills fully charged. He stubbornly followed behind her, and no matter how much she twisted and turned, she couldn't shake him off; instead, the distance between them kept getting closer.

    ...

    At the same time, the West Kunlun Mountain.

    The celestial maiden stands at the summit of the mountain, gazing towards the mortal realm.

    At the onset of a great calamity, the celestial secrets are chaotic.

    If the celestial gods and Buddha do not want to enter the calamity, they can only watch from afar.

    At this moment, she heaved a deep sigh: "Another new era of the phoenix tribe's destiny? Why? The heavens have sealed my feathered clan, which cannot be hindered by human effort."

    She is a metamorphic form of the divine bird, but has nothing to do with the "divine bird descending to establish the Shang Dynasty."

    In her opinion, the Phoenix dynasty energy rising in the south today was a very reckless act.

    Once upon a time, the son of Emperor Huangdi, Bai Emperor Shaohao, tried to gather the Phoenix dynasty's auspiciousness. He established over 20 tribes named after birds, but the result was that he died and his policies were abandoned.

    The heavens do not allow the Phoenix tribe to emerge. Now that a great calamity has arrived, the surveillance of heaven has been reduced to the lowest level. It should be a good opportunity, but this current era of phoenix dynasty energy is much weaker than that of Bai Emperor Shaohao in the past.

    Nine Heavenly Goddess can see two golden illusions squeezing the newly born phoenix dynasty auspiciousness.

    The auspiciousness of the Shang Dynasty and the Wei State are like two gigantic creatures. The former has a strong foundation and is indeed old now, but its might remains. The latter, relying on its youth, can quickly stand up after being knocked down many times. Now, both of these streams of auspiciousness are fixated on the newly emerged phoenix dynasty auspiciousness.

    They want to take advantage of the unstable period of the newly born auspiciousness and crush it completely.

    Facing two streams of human auspiciousness, Deng Chanyu is almost supporting them with her own strength.

    Currently, Lord Nabing has no intention of rebellion, and the auspiciousness converging from his side is elusive. Under the annihilation of the auspiciousness from both the Shang Dynasty and the Wei State, the tiny bit of auspiciousness representing the southern vassals is quickly defeated.

    What about Deng Jiugong? Deng Jiugong has no intention of rebellion either. Old Deng just wants to get promoted, expand his family's power.

    The newly born phoenix dynasty auspiciousness has strong enemies outside and no reinforcements inside, and its collapse is only a matter of time.

    Just as the Nine Heavens Goddess was about to shift her gaze, she saw a sudden change in the situation within the scene.

    A faint and tenuous desire turned into an army, joining the auspiciousness of the hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix.

    "Second Aunt Wang, do you think those people will still send eggs tomorrow? Our family has been eating eggs a bit too much recently."

    "Li's Auntie, I heard that, don't tell anyone else, but they're supposed to send soybean oil in the morning!"

    The original speaker sighed in wonder: "Really? Such good people... though a bit simple... Ah, if such people could stay in Nan Dou forever, that would be great!"

    "Yes, yes, my husband has said that too. In these days, such good people are really rare. I hope they live a hundred years and eighty! Ah, how is your qigong practice going? I think I've reached the peak of solidifying my foundation, and I can condense a Golden Pill at any time!"

    The hopes of the common people became a force, converging together. Neither the Shang Dynasty's autocracy nor the Wei State's way of kingship could suppress them. Under great pressure, the auspiciousness of the hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix did not collapse but instead solidified by two parts and firmly guarded its small piece of land in the south. It was as if it were inevitable, and an "benevolence" character appeared faintly on the forehead of the phoenix's shadow, not autocracy or kingship, but benevolence.

    The Nine Heavenly Goddess was surprised, the newly born phoenix dynasty auspiciousness had actually stood its ground. No one had expected this situation, and one could only say that things are unpredictable in the mortal world.
