Chapter 230 Phoenix Clan
"Moon, what are you going to the Phoenix Clan for?"

Qingzhu's emerald green eyes narrowed slightly, and her clear, cold voice carried a hint of hoarseness and confusion: "Although I don't know much about the Upper Realm, I do know that the Phoenix Clan is a behemoth, not a place we can go to casually, especially now in the dead of night."

Su Xiyue knew what he was worried about, and explained while tying her animal skin skirt: "Xuanyuan Ming has a childhood betrothal, to Feng Qiwu, the daughter of the Phoenix Clan Chief. I don't know what's wrong with him, but he curses me behind my back every day. He even ordered the Phoenix Clan's Great Witch to cast some kind of vicious curse on me. I heard that the curse will be cast on the night of the full moon the day after tomorrow, and I must find that ugly child before then."

Upon hearing this, Qingzhu's face immediately darkened: "Where did Yue'er find out?"

"The lark told me."

Seeing Qingzhu looking at her strangely, she didn't hide anything: "I have a special ability, I can hear the voices of all living things. When I first heard this news, I was very angry, but I have already thought of a solution, but I have to find that doll first."

Qingzhu stared at her for a while, then suddenly remembered that Ye Ling and the others had left suddenly, and that the mad dragon had also disappeared tonight. They must have gone to deal with this matter.

He sighed softly, looking at Su Xiyue with gentle eyes: "Since you already have a solution, I'll go with you to find that doll."

Thinking that the Phoenix Clan was a behemoth, he feared that breaking in to find the doll would not be so easy.

But no matter how difficult it is, we must find that doll; curses are no joke.

Especially the curse of the Phoenix Clan's Great Witch; once the curse is successfully cast, even a god would find it difficult to save her.

Su Xiyue felt a warmth in her heart, knowing that Qingzhu was worried about her: "There's no time to lose, let's set off for the Phoenix Clan now."

"You know the way?"

Qingzhu looked at her with her emerald green eyes and couldn't help but ask.

He had only recently arrived in the Upper Realm and did not know where the Phoenix Clan was.

Su Xiyue glanced at him, and to be honest, she didn't know where the Phoenix Clan was either.

However, with the system map for location tracking, there's no need to worry about not being able to find it.

She quietly opened the system map, her gaze falling on a flame-shaped marker on the map. "It seems to be in Qifeng Valley. It's 800 miles southeast. Crossing the Crimson Flame Canyon will take you to the Phoenix Clan's territory. We need to hurry."

Qingzhu nodded slightly, then transformed into the Moon Chasing Wolf, lowered its body, and its emerald green wolf eyes gleamed in the night: "Come up."

She flipped over and straddled the wolf's back. Just as her fingers gripped the wolf's neck fur, she heard Qingzhu groan and speak in human language, "Don't hold on so tightly."

"Feel sorry."

She let go of his hand and instead wrapped her arms around his neck.

The fur of the Moon Wolf was softer than I had imagined, and carried a refreshing scent of grass and trees.

When Qingzhu leaps up by pushing off with her hind legs.

She suddenly remembered something: "Wait!"

The wolf's claws left deep marks on the ground. Qingzhu braked suddenly and turned around, the wolf's tail sweeping down a patch of bushes.

"Almost forgot about this."

She took out an invisibility cloak from her system inventory. "The Phoenix Clan is heavily guarded. You stay on the outside to provide support. I'll sneak in to find the doll later."

Qingzhu turned its wolf head and stared at the invisibility cloak in her hand. It was made of some kind of soft fabric, and its emerald green wolf eyes flashed with doubt: "Where did this come from?"

"secret."

She smiled mysteriously, shook out her cloak and draped it over herself. In an instant, she vanished like ripples on water.

Green Bamboo Wolf's eyes were filled with horror as he watched helplessly as Yue'er disappeared before his eyes.

He sensed carefully and found that Yue'er's presence had disappeared, as if she had never been there at all.

Suddenly, I remembered that when I was in the back mountain of the wolf tribe, Yue'er also suddenly disappeared.

They searched everywhere but couldn't find it, trying every possible method. Now that they think about it, Yue'er must have been that cloak.

It's amazing that such a treasure exists in the world.

"Moon...are you still there?"

Qingzhu could feel the weight on her back, but couldn't see anyone, so she couldn't help but call out.

"I'm here."

Su Xiyue's voice drifted through the air, somewhat ethereal, as if it came from a very distant place.

Qingzhu was certain that she was still on his back, but he couldn't see her. "Moon, this thing is really amazing. Even I can't sense your presence."

"Yes, it's definitely a good product."

Her voice came again, accompanied by the soft rustling of fabric, as if she were stretching. "Alright, let's go. Remember to meet me outside, don't go in."

"Okay, be careful."

Qingzhu gave a word of advice, then leaped into the mountains and forests, speeding southeast and darting through the moonlight.

Su Xiyue sat on the back of Qingzhu, wearing an invisibility cloak. Realizing that there was no need to be completely covered up at the moment, she poked her head out to get some fresh air.

The moonlight, like water, filtered through the gaps in the treetops, dappling her face and creating a hazy, beautiful effect.

The green bamboo moved extremely fast, and the trees on both sides flashed by as if they were images being rapidly rewound.

The night wind whistled in my ears, carrying the ruggedness and wildness of the primeval forest.

She patted Qingzhu on the back: "Slow down, my invisibility cloak is about to be blown away!"

Upon hearing this, Qingzhu slowed down slightly, but her wolf ears perked up warily: "The Crimson Flame Canyon is just ahead. Phoenix Clan patrols often roam this area."

The rock walls on both sides of the canyon glowed an eerie red under the moonlight, as if they had been soaked in blood.

Su Xiyue suddenly pressed down on Qingzhu's back: "Wait!"

She pointed to the totem that was faintly visible on the rock wall ahead—a phoenix with outstretched wings, and two guards with wings on their backs standing below the totem.

"It's a Phoenix Clan sentry post."

Qingzhu lowered his voice, his wolf-like body following the shadow of the rock wall as he moved forward, "I'll lead you around there."

"No need, you wait here for me, I'll go in myself."

Su Xiyue spoke softly, carefully sliding down from Qingzhu's back. The invisibility cloak once again enveloped her, and she disappeared into the moonlight like a wisp of smoke.

Qingzhu felt a lightness on her back, and then the person disappeared.

Knowing that Yue'er was hiding, the person should still be nearby.

His emerald wolf eyes were fixed on the sentry post ahead, and a deep voice rolled from his throat: "If they don't come out in half an hour, I'll storm in." A soft laugh came from the air: "Got it."

……

Su Xiyue tiptoed past the patrolling Phoenix Clan guards.

The guards, with bone knives hanging from their waists, were completely unaware that someone was passing by.

After passing through the canyon, a breathtaking view suddenly opened up before us.

Inside Qifeng Valley, flame-like phoenix flowers surround towering sycamore trees, and the air is filled with the faint fragrance of sycamore blossoms.

Moonlight filtered through the sparse clouds, casting shimmering light on the lake in the valley, making it resemble a sea of ​​stars.

She lifted a corner of her cloak, revealing her eyes, and surveyed her surroundings.

She couldn't help but admire inwardly that the Phoenix Clan's residence was indeed extraordinary; the scenery alone was enough to make one linger and forget to leave.

Su Xiyue didn't know where the Phoenix Clan's Great Witch Feng Yan lived, and tried to use the system map to locate her, but found that the map only showed relatively famous mountains or geographical locations.

The buildings in Phoenix Valley are all uniformly white with light spots.

She simply turned off the map and let the system play the sounds of all living things.

A cacophony of noises suddenly filled my ears.

The leaves of the sycamore tree whispered among themselves: "The great shaman killed ninety-nine flamingos today, and the wind is filled with the smell of blood, it's suffocating."

The scorpion rustled in the crevice of the rock: "Don't even mention it. I just escaped a disaster today. I was almost captured and bled. When are we finally going to use that ugly doll? I'm about to throw up from the smell of blood here."

Su Xiyue's heart skipped a beat. Ugly Doll?
She immediately looked in the direction of the sound and saw a fat, poisonous scorpion hiding in a crevice in the rocks, its tail flailing restlessly.

She approached cautiously, trying not to make a sound.

The scorpion seemed oblivious to her arrival and continued muttering, "I heard that the Phoenix Flame Great Shaman went to the hot springs tonight, and that ugly doll is on the altar in his room. Tsk tsk, it's really creepy."

Su Xiyue's eyes lit up. She secretly lifted a corner of her cloak, squatted down, and asked the Poison Scorpion, "Which direction is the Phoenix Flame Great Shaman's house?"

The scorpion's pincers snapped open, its stinger instantly snapping: "Who?"

“Just passing through.” She lowered her voice. “Tell me where Feng Yan lives, and I’ll escort you away from Qifeng Valley.”

The rustling sound behind the rocks stopped for a moment, and suddenly a shiny scorpion head popped out: "Really? Follow the path with the densest phoenix flowers to the end, there's a charred old sycamore tree, and the stone house is under the tree."

He was puzzled that this female could understand him.

Then the scorpion suddenly lowered its voice, "The ugly doll is on the altar, but there are two red-banded snakes at the entrance."

Before he could finish speaking, footsteps suddenly came from afar.

The scorpion swiftly retreated into the crevice, and Su Xiyue quickly wrapped her cloak tighter, her figure disappearing in an instant.

Two phoenix guards passed by, but did not notice her.

She breathed a sigh of relief, and once the two phoenix guards were far away, she immediately headed in the direction the scorpion had pointed.

The further you go in, the denser the phoenix flowers become, their crimson petals falling to the ground like pools of blood.

When Su Xiyue saw the charred sycamore tree, she suddenly stopped in her tracks.

Sure enough, two red-banded snakes were coiled around the stone house under the tree.

She narrowed her eyes, and with a whoosh, she flicked out vines from her palm, severing the vital points of the two red snakes.

The snake carcass hit the ground with a dull thud, and she darted into the stone house.

The room was dimly lit by candlelight, and in the center of the altar stood an ugly doll covered in bone needles, with the three large red characters "Su Xiyue" on it, which were quite shocking.

An eerie light shone from the dim candlelight.

Without thinking, she grabbed the ugly doll and stuck the rebound talisman on its back.

The rebound talisman flashed and instantly disappeared into the Ugly Doll.

Su Xiyue breathed a sigh of relief and was about to leave.

I noticed a black wooden box next to the ugly doll, and I could hear rustling sounds coming from inside.

You can tell what kind of poisonous insects are inside just by listening to the sound.

She turned to leave.

Unexpectedly, the dog system's voice suddenly reminded him in his mind: "Host, there's a treasure inside, take it."

Su Xiyue frowned instantly and looked at the black box.

Good baby?
What kind of treasure could this poisonous insect be?
Despite thinking this, I still carefully opened the box.

She didn't dare to lift it directly with her hands, but instead used vines to lift it, standing far away.

The black box was opened, revealing a golden silkworm king inside.

"My savior!"

The Silkworm King suddenly spoke in human language, "I am a sacred object of the Medicine Gu Clan, captured by Feng Yan to refine Gu. If you take me away, I will grant you a body immune to all poisons!"

"You're not allowed to lie to me when the time comes."

Su Xiyue closed the black box and stuffed it directly into her system inventory.

They were about to retreat.

Suddenly, Feng Qiwu's sweet voice came from outside the door: "Great Shaman, is that lowly female's cursed doll ready?"

Her expression changed slightly, and she immediately wrapped the invisibility cloak around herself and stood close to the wall.

Feng Qiwu pushed open the door and entered, followed by an old woman with a face full of tattoos.

When they noticed that the black box next to the ugly doll on the altar was missing.

Feng Yan's expression changed drastically in an instant, and she roared through gritted teeth, "Who touched my Gu worms?"

His gaze swept across the room, his face, covered in tattoos, twisted and contorted in a grotesque grimace.
