Chronicles of Celestial Origins

"Indeed." Tangning replied lukewarmly.

However, Feng Yuan still refused to give up and continued to dig deeper, quite like breaking the casserole and asking the bottom of the problem: "But since joining the noble sect, the cultivation of fellow Taoists has been making rapid progress, and the progress is even better than those of those with extraordinary talents within the noble sect. The proud ones are much faster and fiercer, there must be a reason for this!"

"Nothing but luck!"

"It's not convenient for you, fellow Taoist, to say, so that's all."

"I told you, I just have better luck than others." Tangning's face was already a little unhappy.

Just as he finished speaking, another tall and burly man with slightly white temples came in from outside. Feng Yuan naturally noticed his displeasure and did not ask any more questions. Jiang Cheng took the opportunity to say: "This is from our army. The steward, Taoist Brother Guo Changxing, was originally from Shangyuan Sect. This is Taoist Brother Tang Ning, who has been transferred to the post of supervisor."

Guo Changxing nodded to him and took a seat at the side. As time passed, other army officers arrived one after another, and Jiang Cheng introduced them one by one.

In addition to Corps Commander Jiang Cheng and Deputy Corps Commander Feng Yuan, the other six stewards are Guo Changxing, Wang Shoucheng, Ding Feng, Jia Dexin, Ma Yuan, and Kong Gong.

Among them, Wang Shoucheng was from the Taixuan Sect, Ding Feng was from the Cangming Sect, Jia Dexin was from a wealthy family in Jinan County, Ma Yuan was from the Nether Sea Organization, and Kong Gong was from a wealthy Qingzhou family.

Several people gathered together, Mao Xing announced the official appointment and left.

Jiang Cheng said a few high-sounding gossips and then announced the end of the discussion.

Everyone left, and Tang Ning was taken to the former inspector Zhang Lu's house to rest for a while. At night, Jiang Cheng sent someone to invite him to the house. The two sat opposite each other and talked for several hours.

The main reason was that Jiang Cheng explained to him in detail the affairs of the legion. As for the resource area, there was not a single one.

The Seventh Legion is stationed in Anle County. Since this county has not been conquered by the Mubei demons, all resources and jurisdictions are still in the hands of various forces, and there is no chance for the coalition to intervene.

………

Just as the two were chatting, in another cave in Yuanxu Mountain, an old man in his late sixties with slightly white temples and a stooped figure was led into a dark room.

"Fellow Taoist Ma is here, please take a seat." Inside, a thin, middle-aged man with a serious smile stood up to greet him. It was Feng Yuan, the deputy commander of the army. The old man was Ma Yuan, the army manager.

The two of them sat opposite each other, and Ma Yuan said, "Fellow Daoist Feng came to see me. I don't know why?"

"Take a look! This was just delivered to me." Feng Yuan turned his hand and handed him a black paper roll.

Ma Yuan took the paper, unfolded it and read it for a while, frowned slightly, sighed slightly, and handed back the paper: "It's finally our turn."

Feng Yuan clapped his hand, and the paper ignited into flames, and burned out in the blink of an eye: "The Qingzhou branch asked us to be responsible for the anti-traitor operation of the headquarters. With me as the captain and you as the deputy captain, we secretly investigated the monks organized by the headquarters, but a spy was found. , report immediately.”

"Suppress the traitors. We are investigating our own people all day long, and they even come to us. It's really... where can there be so many spies." Ma Yuan said dissatisfied.

The two had worked together in the Seventh Army for hundreds of years, working hand in hand to fight against the Mubei demon. Feng Yuan had also saved his life in a battle. Their relationship was unmatched by others, so Ma Yuan was not taboo in front of him.

Feng Yuan reminded: "Fellow Daoist Ma, we are life-and-death friends. It comes out of your mouth and into my ears. No one knows, just talk about it. But you don't want to say this outside. Now is the cusp of the storm. The Qingzhou branch has investigated and dealt with it." a lot of people.”

Ma Yuan shook his head helplessly. Since the war eased, at some point, the organization began to investigate spies again. At first, it was just a secret investigation, but later it became an open investigation, and the scope gradually expanded from a small circle to the entire Qingzhou. Branch, I originally thought that the organizational monks who were on the front line of the coalition forces would be safer, but I didn't expect that they still couldn't escape.

"The members of our army have been fighting bloody battles with the Mubei demons for many years. How could there be spies? I really don't understand why the Qingzhou branch came here to eliminate traitors."

"Spies don't just refer to having an affair with Mubei demons, but also having an affair with Xuanmen and aristocratic families. Since the Qingzhou branch asked us to investigate the monks in our organization, no matter what, we still have to give them an explanation."

"The organization members of this headquarters not only obey the organization's dispatch, but also take orders from the coalition forces. If the people are handed over to the Qingzhou branch, will the coalition forces agree?"

"The Qingzhou branch also knows this, so we asked us to investigate in secret. This matter should not be made public. I intend to organize a small team to investigate this matter. If there are any suspects, the list will be handed over to the Qingzhou branch and let them They handle it.”

"Just follow the wishes of fellow Taoist!"

Seeing that he was quite resistant to this matter, Feng Yuansui changed the topic: "Tang Ning, the new inspector of this department, what do you think?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, this person will definitely occupy an important position in Taixuan Sect in the future." Ma Yuan looked at him and said, "I noticed it when I was in the meeting hall. Fellow Daoist Feng seemed to care about him particularly? I don't know why? Could it be that you guys Have you had any contact before?”

"That's right! Fellow Daoist Ma knows that I was previously in charge of intelligence affairs in Donglai County. We noticed this person very early, and he has been our focus for a long time."

"Oh? So, Fellow Daoist Feng should know this person very well."

Feng Yuan's eyes were deep: "I dare say that in the entire Qingzhou, and even in the entire Taixuan Sect, there is no one who can advance as fast as him."

Seeing his serious expression, Ma Yuan couldn't help but become serious as well: "I have heard some rumors about this person. Since he killed the Qingjiao King's grandson and became famous in the Qingzhou coalition, many people have commented that he is the most outstanding among the rising stars of Taixuan Sect. Disciple, it is said that his progress is very fast, and it takes less than a thousand years to go from Golden Pill to Void Refining."

"I'm afraid Fellow Daoist Ma doesn't know that this person's spiritual talent is only average."

"What? Below average? Is this true?" Ma Yuan was slightly surprised: "With a lower than average spiritual root qualification, he has cultivated from Jindan to Void Refining in less than a thousand years, and he has broken through to the Fusion Realm in just a few hundred years. , this is incredible.”

"If you saw his resume, you would be even more surprised."

"Are there any hidden secrets in his resume?"

"He was born in an unknown small sect in Xingang, Qinghai. It took more than two hundred years from refining Qi to golden elixir. His progress was very slow. But since he left Xingang and joined Taixuan Sect, he seems to have become a different person. Not only has his cultivation progress improved by leaps and bounds, , and his performance on the battlefield was also very outstanding. Long before he became famous by killing the grandson of King Qingjiao, he had been ranking first in meritorious service among his coalition forces and columns. "

Ma Yuan thoughtfully said: "This person was ignored by everyone during the Xingang period, but after joining Taixuan Sect, he soared into the sky and showed amazing talent. In other words, he got a great opportunity after leaving Qinghai. But Do you know the secret of his rapid improvement?"

Feng Yuan shook his head and said: "The reason why I pay attention to him is not entirely out of curiosity about his rapid progress in cultivation. I have received a piece of information about him and the disappearance of a member of the organization branch. "

Ma Yuan frowned: "Feng Daoyou means that he killed a member of the organization branch? Was he appointed by Taixuan Sect?"

"According to analysis, it shouldn't be the case. At that time, our headquarters and Taixuan Sect were in their honeymoon period, just like they are now."

"Then why not arrest him?"

"It's just a one-sided clue analysis without any substantive evidence. He has Nangong Muxue's backer in Taixuanzong, and he is not an unknown person. How can he arrest people casually?"

"Why did he kill members of the organization branch?"

"It's hard to say. One analysis is that he is involved in some things within the organization. That's why I paid special attention to him when I saw him today."

………

Linzi County, Nether Sea Organization Branch, in a dark room, a group of men and women gathered together, discussing something intensely.

At this time, the stone door opened, and a tall, beautiful young woman with jade-like skin and plump body came in from the outside.

Everyone looked at her when they saw her entering. One of them, who was petite, said with concern: "Sister Nangong, are you okay?"

The beautiful young woman is Nangong Feiyue, a former disciple of the Shuiyun Sect, and the group of men and women in the room are all non-monsters.

In recent years, due to the invasion of Mubei demons, all forces and demons in Qingzhou have hated each other. As half-human and half-demon, non-human and non-demon existence, the non-demon tribe is not welcome no matter where they are.

These non-monsters organized by the Netherworld Sea spontaneously got together and formed a small group due to being excluded.

In recent years, the internal self-examination of the Netherworld Sea organization has expanded, and many members suspected of being spies have been arrested in various branches. Non-demon people are even more targeted due to their special status. Many Netherworld members of the non-demon clan have been targeted. The Hai members were all taken away by members of the Anti-Corruption Supervisory Team, and most of them ended up miserable.

Today, Nangong Feiyue was also summoned by the Anti-Corruption Supervision Team. Everyone thought she was going to be examined, but unexpectedly she came back safely.

"I'm fine. They just asked some questions and didn't do anything to me." Nangong Feiyue smiled slightly and reassured everyone.

"It's too much. Now we are treated as prisoners. I want to go out today, but I am not allowed to go out. Isn't this just a disguised form of house arrest for us?" A man with a deer-headed and rat-eyed man slapped the case angrily.

"Decisive measures must be taken, otherwise all of us will be tortured to death sooner or later under various names."

"A Ying was executed as a spy because he had contact with a person from Mubei in his early years. If they can execute A Ying without any evidence, they can kill us for unfounded crimes."

"We cannot sit still and wait for death, otherwise we will all die without a burial place."

"Why don't we go together to put pressure on the supervisory team? Even with the overwhelming numbers, they will have some scruples, otherwise they will defeat them one by one."

"Man is a knife, I am a fish. Don't act rashly, otherwise disaster will ensue."

………

"Listen to me." Seeing everyone chatting endlessly, the old man sitting in the chair spoke. In an instant, the whole room fell silent. (End of chapter)
