Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Tang Ning hesitated.

Ding Jianyang was selfish, ambitious, and unkind. From the bottom of his heart, he hated to have anything to do with him. But he also told Gu Yuanya clearly that it was a very important matter for him. If he didn't go, wouldn't he miss it if it was really an important matter related to him.

Ding Jianyang had his own set of intelligence channels in the Nether Sea Organization. Maybe he really knew about the important matter related to him from some source.

After thinking about it, he decided to go and meet him. The current situation was different from the past. Taixuan Sect and the Nether Sea Organization were in a honeymoon period. If he went to meet his old friend in the Nether Sea Organization privately, even if others knew about it, it should be fine.

He had just taken office in Xuantang City and had not offended anyone. It was not a trap. Besides, Ding Jianyang had no reason to harm him in public or private.

"Master, are you going to see him?"

"It's okay to see him." Tang Ning picked up the note and read it carefully. It didn't seem to be written by Ding Jianyang.

It seems that he was afraid that the contact between the two would be known to others. The letter did not clearly mention the identity, and asked someone else to write it. Even if the note fell into the hands of others, they would not be able to guess his identity.

Gu Yuanya hesitated and said, "Master, Ding Jianyang is so sneaky. I'm worried that it might be a trap. Do you really want to see him?"

"Since he went to such great lengths to find you to pass on the message, he must have something important. If I don't see him, he will come to me sooner or later. Instead of that, just go and see him directly. I have no personal grudges against Ding Jianyang. Now the sect and the Nether Sea Organization are in the honeymoon period of alliance cooperation. In public and private, he has no reason to plot against me." Tang Ning replied.

In addition to these two points, he dared to meet Ding Jianyang because of his own strength. With Xiao Zhan by his side, he was not afraid of anyone under the Refining Void.

"Master, how about I go to meet him for you and let him tell me what he wants to say."

"Forget it, I'll go to meet him in person! If he is willing to tell you, he would have told you when he stopped you. Ding Jianyang is very suspicious and doesn't trust anyone. He won't tell me anything unless I show up. By the way, have you told anyone else about this?"

"No, I came to see you directly after I returned to the regiment."

"Don't tell anyone about this, including Chen Xiaofan, Gao Yuan and others."

"Don't worry! Master, I'm not a fool. Don't I know what to say and what not to say?"

"You went out and told them Have you heard of anyone else?"

"Brother Chen, Brother Gao, Deng Guan, and the guards on duty all know this. Master, you don't suspect that someone tipped off Ding Jianyang, do you?"

"It's hard to say. Ding Jianyang is in charge of the intelligence affairs of the Nether Sea Organization's branch in this city. Who dares to say that there are no spies planted by them in the team? He was able to intercept you on your way back, which means he knows your movements very well."

"There are many people in the Guards Hall. If the news leaks out, there must be something wrong there. Brother Chen and the others came to you from Jiang Yuhuan, and it is impossible for them to have contact with Ding Jianyang."

"You go first! I need to think about this matter carefully."

"Oh!" Gu Yuanya responded and left.

At night, Tang Ning left the team and fled all the way to the top of a towering mountain.

Ding Jianyang did not tell the specific time of the meeting, but it was expected that he should have arranged people to observe nearby. Tang Ning saw that there was no one around, so he sat down at ease and waited quietly for him to appear.

Sure enough, around noon the next day, a beam of light shot out from a distance, revealing a man, who was Ding Jianyang.

"I knew you would come." Ding Jianyang said with a smile.

"Just tell me! Why did you suddenly ask me to come here?"

"I have a deal to cooperate with you."

"Deal? Didn't you say it was about something very important to me? Is it this deal?"

"Yes, I want you to kill someone for me."

"If you asked me to come here just to let me help you kill someone, I'm not interested."

"Don't refuse so quickly, don't you want to hear what the reward is?"

"No matter how many spirit stones, I don't care."

"Of course, you are now the deputy captain of the Taixuan Sect's Xuantang City Joint Team, you are in a high position and power, and spirit stones are nothing in your eyes. But my reward is not spirit stones, but a hidden danger around you."

"What do you mean?"

Ding Jianyang raised his lips slightly, and said slowly: "Among your close confidants, there is an undercover agent of the Nether Sea Organization. Don't you want to know who this person is? I'll tell you who this person is, and you kill someone for me."

Tang Ning stared at him: "Why should I trust you?"

"Why can I know the whereabouts of your apprentice? It's because someone around you is sending me information. The way to verify it is very simple. I can tell you how to contact him and us, or you can find a way to verify it yourself, such as randomly revealing a piece of information to someone around you. No matter what you say, I will know the content."

Tang Ning saw that he was confident and calm, and he believed it in his heart.

Who could this undercover agent of the Nether Sea be? Gao Yuan? Chen Xiaofan? Yan Qing? Or Mo Fan, Deng Guan, Wan Tongyuan?

"Who is the person you want to kill, and why are you looking for me?"

"Ma Shouyang." Ding Jianyang narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes were murderous, and he spoke word by word.

"Ma Shouyang? The head of the Nether Sea branch in this city? You want me to kill him?" Tang Ning was shocked when he heard him reveal this man's identity.

"Yes, he is the one I want to kill. I have no ability myself, so I can only ask you for help. If I don't kill him, he will kill me." Ding Jianyang's eyes were ruthless: "There can only be one person between me and him. Survive.”

"Why? There is a deep hatred between you?"

"No, he turned out to be a partner of mine. I got in touch with him as early as when he was a manager. He was promoted to deputy director and principal step by step, and our cooperation became more and more in-depth."

"Then why are you still arguing with him to the point of not sharing the spoils evenly?"

Ding Jianyang said: "Our affairs were leaked. A few months ago, a Nascent Soul monk who worked for us was arrested for interrogation and confessed his top line. Fortunately, we got the news earlier and dealt with the middleman, but It doesn’t end there.”

"The Yuanxian County branch sent supervisors to investigate the case. Their investigation is getting deeper and deeper. Sooner or later, Ma Shouyang and I will find out. Therefore, only one of us can survive. Either he dies or I die."

Tang Ning said: "The ones who want to deal with you are the supervisors sent by Yuanxian County. Why are you fighting each other to the death?"

Ding Jianyang said: "Because we all need the other party to be our scapegoat, and then blame the other party for all the dirty work of embezzlement of public funds, so that the matter can be covered up. The supervisor is ordered to investigate the case, and if we kill the supervisor, things will only get worse." Big. Only by finding a scapegoat of sufficient weight can we get away with it."

"You killed him? Wouldn't the supervisor suspect you?"

"Not necessarily, but now we can only make a desperate move, not to mention if I don't kill him, he will kill me." Ding Jianyang sneered: "He is already ready. He told me a few days ago that Qianjia Sect was in danger after its defeat. At this time, it was too late to take away all the sect's supplies, and hid some of the supplies in a secret place. Now we have determined the approximate range and are looking for it. I am asked to bring that batch of supplies back quietly. "

"In order to strive for truth, he has mobilized some people to find clues about the materials left behind by the Qianjia Sect."

"In fact, everything was a trap for him. He wanted to trick me into going there, then kill me, and then blame all the embezzlement of public funds on me. Externally, he claimed that I discovered the Qianjia Sect's property. He became greedy and wanted to take it for himself, but unfortunately he was killed. "

"As soon as I die, he will be able to rest easy. Now in the entire Xuantang City branch, I am the only one who knows that Gain is the helmsman behind the scenes."

"I have always had a one-way contact with him. No one knows what he did except me."

"He thought I didn't know. In fact, I had been guarding against his attack for a long time. When he told me the secret of Qianjia Sect, I guessed that he was going to attack me."

"Now you know why I want to find you!"

Tangning nodded. Although he understood the ins and outs of this situation, he did not want to interfere. The reason was simple: the effort was not proportional to the reward.

You can investigate the details around you slowly. Anyway, it won't threaten your safety for a while, but assassinating the chief of Nether Sea in Xuantang City is no joke.

Ma Shouyang himself has the cultivation level of the middle stage of becoming a god. He is not 100% sure that he can kill him, and if he fails, it will be doomed.

Even if Ma Shouyang is successfully killed, what will happen? If Ding Jianyang is found to have embezzled stolen money, he will definitely betray himself and will be finished by then.

Once this is done, no matter whether it is successful or not, there is no turning back.

He is now the deputy captain of the alliance and has a bright future. There is no need to be tied to a desperate person like Ding Jianyang.

"I can't do anything about this, you'd better hire someone else!" Tangning said and prepared to leave.

"I will add you the Void Refining Pill and the Dao Transformation Pill. As long as you help me kill Ma Mengyang, I will give you these two impact refining elixirs." Ding Jianyang said, these two are both impact refining pills. Pills are a must when in the void state.

Tang Ning did not ask him where he got the elixir, but just shook his head: "This is not about elixirs or spiritual stones. No matter how precious the Void Refining Pill and the Dao Transformation Pill are, they are not as good as my future and life. Assassination Ma Shouyang's matter is too risky and will cause endless troubles. I don't want to get involved in the internal feud between you, so you can find someone else! Maybe there is someone who is interested in refining the Xu Dan and the Dao Hua Dan and is willing to help you. "

Ding Jianyang's face was expressionless: "I know these things can't impress you, but you should also be able to think that since I tell you the whole story, you must be prepared."

"What do you mean? Do you want to kill me here?" When Tang Ning heard this, her face remained calm, but she felt a little uneasy in her heart. He knew that Ding Jianyang had always been a person who would do anything for himself. He can do anything to protect his own interests and safety.

Thoughts raced in his mind, what backup plan would Ding Jianyang have? Report to Taixuanzong that you were secretly cooperating with him?

"If I had that ability, would I still need you to kill Ma Shouyang?" Ding Jianyang turned his hand and took out a token: "You should be familiar with this thing!"

Tang Ning took the token and saw that it was Gu Yuanya's identity token. In an instant, his heart pounded as if it had sunk to the bottom of the sea.
