      Tang Chanyu was slightly surprised: "Bugs?"

    Nüwa explained to her, "In the Sanjie (three realms), there once was a great being named Panhu. It is said that Panhu gave birth to six sons and six daughters in the Ten Great Mountains, and they intermarried, eventually forming a large clan in the South Mountain. The clan members called him King Pan."

    According to the master's understanding of the information, Panhu's shape-shifting was extremely early, possibly even before the master, but he did not participate in the lectio at Zihao Palace, and the master is not sure why. As for germ warfare, it should be a unique killing technique formed by taking advantage of mutual extermination and mutual consumption between poisonous insects. Now that heaven's destiny is in turmoil, the master also cannot see much."

    This form of germ warfare sounds very similar to the means used in martial arts world of Miaojiang, such as the Five Venom Sect, which Tang Chanyu dislikes the most. These methods of using poison and administering poisons are quiet and destructive.

    But the germ warfare in the Shengdi world should be countless times more powerful than that in traditional wuxia, and it may also have Summersan, Nine Transformation Intelligence Gnuwu and so on.

    After ending the conversation with Teacher Nuwa, Tang Chanyu asked Zhang Guifang about the specific location where they encountered the enemy and found that they had already left the Bashu Plains and were very close to the Ten Great Mountains in the south.

    Tang Chanyu had a slight headache. "Non-members, their hearts must be different." The sound of Panhu is full of hostility. If it were the old days, maybe she could pull together with Jiang Ziyu and Wen Zhongang. But now the Deng family completely occupies Bashu Plains, and the location they are facing is very close to the Ten Great Mountains in the south. It is no longer connected to Xichifeng and Yinsheng. There seems to be no one to seek help from, so it seems like they can only bear it themselves.

    She scratched her head, ready to ask some more specific information.

    She took out two "Imperial" shaped Tuluo King symbols and looked at the bodies of the two mutated Barbarians for a moment. Then she directly inserted the "Imperial" shaped Tuluo King symbols into their bodies.

    A dark wind swept past, and she stepped into the realm of the underworld with the two corpses.

    "Who are you, dare to disturb the underworld!" The two ghost guards were greatly angered. They were about to scold, but when they saw the rotating "Imperial" shaped Tuluo King symbol next to the corpse, they first showed confusion, and then immediately revealed a sycophantic smile.

    "I'm not sure what's wrong with the small one, nor with the king. I didn't know that the great immortal had arrived, so I failed to welcome you from afar, and I failed to welcome you from afar."

    Deng Chanyu spoke with full authority, "Two days ago, there were two mutated barbarians killed by a guest of our sect, Zhang Guifang. You are to find these two ghosts and bring them swiftly before me."

    With the help of the "Imperial" shaped Tuluo King symbol left by Jade Emperor Ta Ji, she had a sense of "being present personally" like an emperor. She didn't ask for reasons, processes, or explanations. All she needed was the result.

    Her command was delivered with righteous authority, and the ghost guards also felt reasonable.

    Without a word, they went to "below" to look for them.

    After a moment, the two ghost guards returned empty-handed, and their expressions were not good.

    "Reporting to the Great Immortal, the small man has searched for the souls of the two mutated barbarians and found that they are not in the underworld."

    Deng Chanyu was caught off guard by this result and asked further, "Do you mean to say that those two souls are not under the jurisdiction of the underworld?"

    originally she wanted to use the relationship of the underworld to seize the souls of the two, and ask for specific information in the Ten Thousand Mountains. But now that she can't find their souls, it's a problem.

    The two ghost guards were a bit embarrassed, but that was the fact. Those two souls hadn't reported to the underworld, as if they didn't exist, directly breaking free from the jurisdiction of the six paths of rebirth.

    "All right, I know what I need to know. You may go now."

    "I will bid farewell, I will bid farewell."

    Returning to the human world, Tang Chanyu felt that this matter was far from simple.

    With her slender arms and legs, facing a long-standing elder who has lived for an unknown amount of time and with no prior knowledge of the enemy's intelligence, there's a good chance she wouldn't be able to withstand it. As for constructing a Great Wall along the Sichuan-Xiang-Gan line to prevent the northward advance of plague insects and plague immortals, it seems a bit preposterous and cowardly.

    Tang Chanyu thought about the matter two times over, and the fact that the underworld couldn't find the souls of those two barbarians gave her an idea.

    She quietly approached Jiaoshe, changed her disguise, bribed the old friend Fei Zhong who had lost his treasures and whose expectations were reduced again, and then spent three days in the Yinsheng treasury.

    From the ancient books, she learned that one of the Five Emperors, Di Ku, had once encountered a mythical creature with the body of a dragon and the head of a dog. After that, this dragon dog bit to death the general of the Qirong tribe in the west during Di Ku's time. Di Ku then married his daughter to the dragon dog and named it Panhu.

    This is the only record of Panhu in the human world, and he subsequently disappeared into the river of time.

    Tang Chanyu had a hunch and immediately dashed to Tianling. She wanted to find an ally, not necessarily powerful, but someone who could help withstand the enemy's onslaught for a couple of blows.

    Tang Chanyu arrived at the Heavenly Palace first, heading to the Peony Garden to find the "Guardian Immortal" of the garden, Princess Longji.

    "Very boring," Longji lay on the peach tree, swinging his two legs lazily, muttering something incoherently.

    Suddenly, the Land God, who managed the Peony Garden, ran over with short legs, looking flustered.

    "Princess, please get up quickly! The emperor has come!"

    Longji, who was in a state of half-asleep and half-awake, was startled upon hearing the news and hastily rolled down from the tree. She quickly adjusted her clothing, noticed there was saliva at the corner of her mouth, wiped it away with her sleeve forcefully, sat at the table, picked up a Daoist scriptures, frowned and feigned reading.

    After waiting for the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, she didn't see the slightest trace of her father's figure.

    What's going on here?

    She stretched her neck to look outside, but everything was quiet and there was nothing there.

    She had a hunch and suspiciously turned her head, only to see the Land God's body grow taller, and his face transformed into Tang Chanyu's likeness.

    Tang Chanyu pointed at her and couldn't help but burst into laughter at the sight of her sitting up straight and looking respectable.

    Longji glared at the other side angrily. The real Land God stood helplessly, his expression as if he was saying, the Saint's disciple is trying to impersonate me. What can I do? I'm also helpless.

    "A Yu! Ah—you actually dare to mock me! I'm not pleased, and you must play a game with me."

    "Not children, what kind of game should we play? Alright, alright, you say, what kind of game?"

    Longji looked at her and said, "The name of the game is 'You're not allowed to talk to me today.'"

    "This game is boring."

    Longji stared at her with a fierce expression and said, "Game begins!"

    After a minor, yet entertaining interlude, Tang Chanyu stated her purpose. She wanted to know the specific locations of these mutated beings that control the plague insects, as Ten Thousand Mountains were too vast. Dropping a few thousand people into it would not make a dent. She also wanted to learn about the true origin of Panhu. If this deity had ever existed, there must be records of him in the heavenly realm managed by Hou Tian. If there were no records here, then Emperor Yin must have kept track of him when he was in charge of the heavenly realm.

    "That's it, huh?" Princess Longji couldn't help but burst out after not being allowed to speak to someone for a whole day. After thinking for a moment, she realized that her father was a workaholic with an almost unimaginable desire for control. It was unlikely that there would be an existence outside of a saint who was not under the management of the heavenly realm. Since she was under house arrest, she sent her maidservants to bring Deng Chanyu to find the Immortal Taibai.
