Chronicles of Celestial Origins

The sound of footsteps came, and then there was a knock on the door.

Tang Ning opened her eyes, took a deep breath, waved her hand and opened the door without any wind. A man walked in, bowed and said, "Uncle Tang, the army has sent a heavenly spirit ship. I need you to go." Identify and release.”

"The Legion's Heavenly Spirit Ship? Is it transporting supplies?"

"yes."

Tang Ning stood up and followed him out of the room. He saw a Heavenly Spirit Ship hovering in the sky in the distance. On the flag was the designation of the First Legion of the Qingzhou Alliance Army.

For the defense of the city wall, each regiment takes turns to be on duty, and this month it happens to be the turn of the ninth regiment.

According to regulations, all incoming and outgoing warships must pass identity authentication before entering. Due to the approaching war, the entire Qianyuan City now has only two openings, one to the south of the city and the other to the north. Qi Yue is responsible for the defense of the north entrance of the city, and he is responsible for the defense of the south. affairs.

When the Tianling Ship arrived here, it had already been inspected by the patrol, but it still needed one final confirmation from him before it could pass.

Tangning jumped up and arrived at the Tianling Ship. Someone had been waiting here for a long time. The two parties introduced each other and then brought him into the cabin. After verifying his identity, he immediately left the Tianling Ship and returned to the city walls. , and the Tianling Ship also slowly sailed into the inner room.

"Call me if you need anything."

Tang Ning ordered the disciples around him and then entered the room again. With the defeat in Fenghua City and seeing the war approaching, he wished he could have twenty-four hours a day to practice in order to reach the Great Perfection of Transformation as soon as possible and attack. Refining the Void Realm.

However, he was in an important position and had to deal with some matters personally. Although he took the trouble, there was nothing he could do.

More than ten days passed in the blink of an eye. The 9th Regiment handed over the defense affairs to the 10th Regiment. They returned to the column station and were about to rest for a while. Unexpectedly, the column sent another mission, but it was to arrange Qian Yuan. The city sects and aristocratic families evacuated.

In the meeting hall of the alliance, Qi Yue sat at the head of the throne and gushed: "The task assigned to the headquarters by the column is to arrange the relocation of sects and aristocratic families in the three pavilion cities of 'Shuili Pavilion', 'Yunsheng Pavilion' and 'Yanxia Pavilion'. Within a month, all personnel and materials from all the sects and families in these three Ting cities are required to evacuate Qianyuan City."

"Time is tight and the task is heavy. I intend to divide our troops and go to Santing City."

"I am in charge of Shuili Pavilion, fellow Taoist Tang is in charge of Yunsheng Pavilion, and fellow Taoist Jiang is in charge of Yanxia Pavilion. What do you two fellow Taoists think?"

Tang Ning was extremely bored with these trivial matters, but she couldn't refuse, so she could only nod in agreement.

"Let's set off immediately. I will lead the warships of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd brigades directly under me to Shuili Pavilion, Tang Ning will lead the 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th brigades to Yunsheng Pavilion, and Jiang Daoyou will lead the 8th and 7th brigades. 9. The warships of the 10th Battalion go to Yanxia Pavilion."

………

Yunsheng Pavilion, Fengqiu Mountain Range, Luoxia Sect, in front of the huge light curtain, a ray of light fell, and Tang Ning's figure appeared. After waiting for about half a quarter of an hour, the light curtain in front of him melted into a gap, and several figures flashed out from inside. , the leader was a man with slightly white temples and a thin figure. He looked him up and down and said, "Du Mingsheng, the headmaster of the Luoxia Sect, is here. Taoist friend Tang is here. I'm sorry to welcome him from afar."

Tang Ning had announced his identity in the transmission note. At this time, he turned his hand over and handed the identity token to him for confirmation. He also saluted, "The Inspector of the Ninth Regiment of the Fourth Column of the First Army of the Qingzhou Alliance has been ordered to come and arrange for your sect." Evacuation matters.”

"Evacuate?" Du Mingsheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this. Several people behind him also looked at each other, obviously none of them knew about it.

"Have you not received the notice yet, Fellow Daoist Du? Let's go in and talk!"

"Okay, Fellow Taoist Tang, please come."

Several people entered the inner room and came to the meeting hall, where the guests and hosts took their seats.

"Fellow Taoist Tang, what do you mean by evacuation? Can you make it clear?" Du Mingsheng asked.

"Friend Du Dao must have heard that the Mubei demon has invaded Qingzhou and has captured Fenghua City. It is possible to attack other cities at any time. To prevent you from falling into the hands of the demon and becoming its prey, the coalition forces issued an edict. , all sects and family members in Yuanxian County have been ordered to evacuate."

"But our sect has not received any notification in this regard."

"Presumably the messengers of our sect are still on the way. It doesn't matter. You just need to prepare first. The headquarters has arranged a warship to pick them up. I came first. The warship of our headquarters is on the way and will arrive in a few days. This is An order issued by the Allied Forces." Tang Ning turned over a piece of paper and handed it to him.

Du Mingsheng took the article and passed it to the people below. The four senior officials of the Luoxia Sect in the hall all frowned and remained silent.

"Fellow Daoist Du, does Guizong suspect that I am here to deceive you?"

"No, no, no." Du Mingsheng shook his head repeatedly: "My Taoist friend's identity token and the alliance's command are both there, how could it be faked? It's just that things happened in a hurry, and we were a little unprepared."

"Friend Du Dao, the coalition forces require that all personnel and materials from Qianyuan City be evacuated within half a month. I hope that your sect can complete the arrangements within eight days. Our warships will arrive in a few days and can help your sect transport personnel and materials."

Several people looked at each other, Du Mingsheng frowned and asked: "Have the coalition forces made it clear where they will arrange the disciples of our sect? Our sect has been rooted in Shuili Pavilion for so many years, and all its resources and jurisdictions are in this pavilion. Once they leave this pavilion, they will Where to make ends meet?”

Tang Ning sneered in her heart. At this time, this person was still thinking about these unrealistic issues. She replied coldly: "Fellow Daoist Du, you don't need to worry about this. The coalition forces will arrange the whereabouts of your sect. Now it's a matter of life and death." , Mubei demons may invade Qianyuan City at any time, and the coalition forces specially arranged for your evacuation for the sake of the safety of your sect personnel. "

"I want to remind everyone, don't think about sitting on the fence like during the civil strife in Qingzhou, like a grass on the wall, whoever is more powerful will fall to that side. The Mubei demons are not so tolerant and kind. They invaded Qingzhou targets. It’s clear that it’s just to seize resources and territory. Even if you want to surrender, they may not accept it.”

"In short, the order I received is to arrange for the evacuation of the Shuiliting Sect and the Aristocratic Family. If your sect refuses to carry out the coalition's order, I have no choice but to return to my headquarters and report it truthfully. I don't know how the coalition will deal with it then."

"Please forgive me for being frank. So many sects and aristocratic families in Yuanxian County have been uprooted, their homes confiscated and their families exterminated. The coalition forces don't care to kill one or two more to scare the monkeys."

"It is up to your lord to decide what to do! I will not force your lord. I will return to the column after fifteen days. If your lord delays and refuses to evacuate, I will have to report the truth."

"I've already said what I need to say. I still need to inform the Duan family in this pavilion and let them organize the evacuation. I'll leave now and I'll come back tomorrow."

After Tangning finished speaking, she stood up and left without waiting for anyone to reply.

"I'll see off fellow Taoist Tang." Du Mingsheng quickly stood up and walked out of the hall with him.

………

A few days passed quickly. Although both the Luoxia Sect and the Duan family were somewhat reluctant, they had to obey the arrangement before the allied forces issued the order.

In front of the meeting hall of the Luoxia Sect, huge stone boxes were carried onto the warship. Inside the hall, several people were sitting upright and chatting. A disciple from outside came in and bowed and said: "Master, all the important materials in the sect are here." It has been loaded onto the ship and personnel from various departments have been assembled.”

"Then let's go!" Du Mingsheng breathed a sigh of relief with a complicated expression.

Several people came out of the hall, and there were more than ten warships suspended outside, filled with large and small stone boxes.

Tang Ning only recruited four Xuanling ships from the alliance, and the rest were Luoxia Sect's own merchant ships.

"Let's go." Du Mingsheng shouted softly, and all the warships started to move southward.

Tang Ning stood on the bow of the ship, looking at the many Luoxia Sect disciples with different expressions on the deck. She couldn't help but think of the scene when she retreated from Qian Yizong. At that time, it was exactly this moment.

Qian Yizong also racked its brains to have a backup plan at that time, and asked Shi Ming, the master of Qingxuan Hall, to lead some of the elite disciples to leave the sect, so as to prevent the recruited disciples from being wiped out on the battlefield, so that at least there could be hope left. Tinder rebuilt the sect and even agreed on a meeting place in the future.

Now it seems that this painstaking plan is not only meaningless, but even ridiculously ignorant.

In the face of the general trend, the small sect has no right to choose. No matter how hard it tries, it is just a wave in the ocean, and no one cares about it.

Most of the disciples of the Qianyi Sect have turned into a cup of loess, and a few who are extremely lucky have also found their own destiny.

If the sect is regarded as a big family, then the Qianyizong family is destined to be fragmented from the moment Mubei attacked, just like the Luoxia Sect now. I just don’t know what everyone in the Luoxia Sect will face. What a fate.

Many warships traveled for several days and arrived at the meeting point in Qianyuan City. The Tianling ship of the coalition had already been waiting here. The people of the Luoxia Sect were transferred from the warships to the Tianling ship like lambs. What was waiting for them was the journey. To an unknown destiny somewhere.
