Chronicles of Celestial Origins

The entire Hou Mansion is simply Chu Liuyu's personal three palaces and six courtyards. There are hundreds of women living in it. Except for those who have been plucked by him, the rest are untouched girls, waiting to be plucked by him.

Tang Ning couldn't help feeling a little emotional. Linzi Hou was powerful. Looking at the behavior of the two women today, these women may not have been kidnapped by him. They were most likely bought by him with gold and silver or came here for the wealth of the Hou Mansion. Who would have known there was something fishy about it.

The intelligence station in the east of the city must have known about this situation, but Xu Zhongwen didn't mention it at all. In the eyes of monks, secular people are just ants after all.

Even he himself gradually came to have such thoughts. He didn't have much sympathy for these innocent women who were harmed by them. He just felt that Chu Liuyu's technique was evil and harmful to the world.

In fact, he didn't have much hatred towards the Demon Sect disciples in his heart. He just had his own duties and responsibilities and acted according to his orders.

Chu Liuyu meditated cross-legged for a whole day, and Tang Ning hid between the beams and stared at him for a whole day. As night fell, the lights in the Marquis Mansion were extinguished, and footsteps suddenly sounded. Chu Liuyu opened his eyes from trance, and frowned slightly. .

The door opened and a tall man walked in.

"Why can't I send a message? I have to go there in person." Chu Liuyu had a look of displeasure on his face.

The man smiled and said: "What are you worried about? Are you afraid that I will notify Xuanmen and come to trouble you?"

"Just tell me if you have anything to say."

The man said: "The superiors have issued an order for all disciples outside to return to this altar."

Chu Liuyu frowned: "What happened?"

"I'm just following orders and don't know anything else." After the man said that, he turned around and walked out the door, leaving Chu Liuyu alone, frowning and thinking.

Upon seeing this, Tang Ning hid underground and followed closely. She saw the man leaving the courtyard and flying away with his flying sword.

He escaped from the Hou Mansion and chased him in the direction he left with his sword. Not long after, he saw a vague figure in the clouds in front of him. He quickly slowed down and followed him from a distance.

The two of them fled in tandem for several hours. Tangning had followed Chu Yiming once before and was discovered by him. This time, she was extra cautious and kept the distance between them within sight.

After every two sticks of incense, he flew away at full speed until he could vaguely see the figure, and then immediately slowed down to prevent him from turning around and observing himself.

The man's cultivation level was not as good as his, and his speed with the sword was not as good as his, until the sky turned white.

He saw a figure swooping down with a sword in front of him, and he knew it was the disciple of the Corpse Puppet Sect. Looking at the clouds and mist below, it was Tainan Gufang City.

Tang Ning thought for a moment and waited until the Corpse Puppet Sect disciple disappeared before descending with the sword.

After walking for a while, we arrived outside the formation, but the man was nowhere to be seen. He must have entered the city.

He turned his left hand and took out a transmission talisman. With a wave of his hand, the talisman disappeared into the blue light curtain.

Not long after, a gap appeared in the blue light curtain, and he went straight to the Baoxing Inn. Xu Chuan had said that the meeting place for these people was the Baoxing Inn.

"Fellow Taoist, do you need a place to stay?" As soon as he stepped into the door of the inn, a good-looking woman came forward and asked.

"Yes, I want a room." Tang Ning handed her the spirit stone and said, "Did a thin man come to check in just now? I wonder what room he is in."

The woman took the spirit stone and said, "Did you just come here? No, fellow Taoist is the first one to check in today."

Didn't come to the inn? Could it be that I had misunderstood that the Corpse Puppet Sect disciple did not come to Tainan Valley to join forces with several other Demon Sect disciples? He thought to himself as he took the door number to the room.

This room could see the outside of the inn. Tang Ning was waiting in front of the window. After waiting for about an hour, a tall and thin man appeared at the door. He hurried out of the room and escaped into the wooden beams of the passage.

Not long after, the Corpse Puppet Sect disciple was seen walking up. Tang Ning followed him all the way to another courtyard room.

As soon as the man entered the room, he sat cross-legged and meditated.

Until at dusk, there was a sudden knock on the door. Tang Ning was shocked and finally arrived.

The Corpse Puppet Sect man stood up and opened the door, and a man and a woman filed in outside the door.

"Brother Wan, how are you handling it?"

The Corpse Puppet Sect man said: "Master has given the order, it depends on your sincerity."

"Don't worry, we have already negotiated an agreement. After you pass, the resources you originally occupied will be returned to you intact. The income will be divided according to the agreed upon agreement. This is the agreement they drafted. You can hand it to Master Ling."

The man took out a jade slip and handed it to the Corpse Puppet Sect disciple: "Actually, let me tell you, you belong to the same sect, so what's wrong with becoming one? Why bother making trouble over such trivial matters? If you can get out of Xingang to Looking outside, mergers and integrations are happening everywhere, which is the general trend.”

The Corpse Puppet Sect disciple took the jade slip without saying a word.

The man continued: "My master has said that if you don't agree, then we have no choice but to continue fighting until your faction is completely eliminated. The determination of this integration is strong and the strength is sufficient."

The disciple of the Corpse Puppet Sect snorted coldly: "So many sects and factions disagree. How many of you are there? Can they all be eliminated?"

"Whoever disagrees will be beaten to death. Starting from your faction, we will fully support your main altar. Manpower, financial resources, and spiritual weapons can be lent to the general altar for dispatch." Brother Wan, I have a heartfelt statement that I don't know how to take. Whether you talk about it or not, for you Qi refining disciples, how much does it matter whether they are integrated or not? It is understandable that Master Ling is not willing to integrate as he is not being dispatched by others. He is also considered a prince, and he holds many resources. Once integrated, it will depend on other people's faces. Of course he won't be willing to have less autonomy. For this selfish purpose, you will attack each other, causing a lot of casualties. After fighting back and forth, you will have to pay back in the end. If we can't talk together, it's just a pain for you. "

The disciples of the Corpse Puppet Sect looked tense and said nothing.

The man smiled and said: "Now that I have said that, I should go and take over my life."

With that said, he left the room.

Tangning crouched underground and listened to their conversation, and then she realized that the reason why the Corpse Puppet Sect was fighting among themselves was because the Corpse Puppet Sect's main altar wanted to annex other sects.

The structure of the Demon Sect is different from that of Xuanmen. Rather than being an organization, they are more like an alliance of factions, just like the relationship between the emperor and the princes in the secular world. On the surface, the princes worship the emperor, but in fact the princes have their own military, Diplomacy, finance.

The main altar is like the enshrined emperor, and the many factions are like local princes.

More than ten years ago, the three Xuanmen sects of Xingang worked together to encircle and suppress the Corpse Puppet Sect, and the target of the extermination was the Corpse Puppet Sect's main altar.

Nowadays, the Corpse Puppet Sect General Forum has received strong support from the external forces in Xingang and wants to annex other tribes. Naturally, the leaders of those tribes do not agree, so the two sides fight within themselves.

Listening to the conversation between the two, many leaders of the factions within the Corpse Puppet Sect disagreed, and their faction was the first to be hit and retaliated against.

Tang Ning followed the two of them out of the house and into another room. She heard the woman say, "I don't know if Old Man Sun will agree to this agreement. I guess there is a high probability that he won't agree." , but it’s hard for us to go back and forth.”

The man said: "It's a negotiation! You have to add chips little by little. Isn't this the same thing in our sect back then? Fight a few more games, and if a few more people die, the negotiation will be settled."

The woman said: "I don't know how the discussion between the two of them went. I don't think they can't reach an agreement in a year and a half. There are so many Hong Kong islands in Qinghai, but we are the only ones assigned to this. It's quite unfortunate."

The man sighed: "Who makes our faction unpopular! However, the allocation of Xingang is not necessarily a bad thing. The two sects in Xingang are weak, but the competition for interests is not so fierce. If it were those big islands, it would be even more difficult. Integrate.”

"That's not necessarily true. Didn't Jining Island complete the integration quickly?"

The conversation between the two reached Tang Ning's ears, which made him suspicious. From their conversation, it seemed that many people had come to work as lobbyists on the Qinghai Islands to integrate the Demon Sect's forces. What on earth were these people going to do?

The two of them were still talking to each other, and Tang Ning listened intently. After an unknown amount of time, she heard the sound of the door being pushed open, and three more people walked in.

"Uncle Lu." The man and woman stood up and saluted.

Tang Ning's heart trembled when a foundation-building monk arrived. He held his breath and did not dare to make any move.

The strength of the foundation-building monk was beyond his reach, and it would be bad if he was discovered.

"Is the matter finished?" the man surnamed Lu asked

"Yes, the master has reached an agreement with the Corpse Puppet Sect General Forum. They are willing to make concessions. The disciple has handed over the agreement to Wan Quan."

"Is there anyone following along the way? To make such a big noise, Xuanmen in Xingang sent out a lot of detailed operations."

"Probably not." The man said

"Be careful when you act on your own and don't get targeted again. This is someone else's territory after all. It's not easy to deal with if you get into trouble."

"Yes, please ask Uncle Master for instructions on what to do next."

"Uncle Dong gave us instructions to contact the Qinchuan branch of the Corpse Puppet Sect to prevent the two factions from uniting. Our next task is to win over the Qinchuan branch and put maximum pressure on the Jiangdong branch. As long as they relent and agree to return, After entering the main altar, the other weak branches will immediately collapse. If they are stubborn, they will be eradicated completely, but before that, they cannot be allowed to form alliances with other branches. "

"Yes, disciple knows."

Tang Ning lay crouched underground until they left for a long time before exiting the room and revealing his body. When he lurked into the inner room of the Corpse Puppet Sect disciple again, the building was already empty.

He waited for half a day and saw no one until late at night. He expected that the disciple must have returned with the jade slip to answer his orders, so he left Fangshi and flew away.

After traveling with the sword for most of the day, they returned to the intelligence station in the east of the city. Ma Yu, Feng Shishi, and Xu Chuan had all returned, and the four of them told each other about their experiences.

It turned out that Xu Chuan accidentally discovered another Corpse Puppet Sect disciple named Wan Quan when he was looking for him, the one who was followed by Zhou Hua and Shen Xingshi before.
