Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Tangning asked, "Shouldn't this matter be within the scope of the Inspection Section's responsibilities?"

Lu Xingxian said: "The sect suspects that there is a secret agent of the Demon Sect among the disciples guarding the spiritual mine."

"But investigating sect disciples is the responsibility of the Secret Security Department. Our Intelligence Department does not have this right."

"We still don't know who Xi Zuo is. He may be a disciple of our sect, or a disciple of Shuiyun Sect and Qingyang Sect. Since the matter is serious, the sect has set up an investigation team. There are people from the Inspection Department and the Secret Security Department. If there are people, our Intelligence Department will also recruit people to join, and many other departments will have to send people to participate. The leader of the investigation team is Uncle Jiang Ming, who has gone to Xuanyue Mountain to take charge. Shuiyun Sect and Qingyang Sect will also send investigation teams by then. , set up a joint investigation team.”

The Xuanyue Mountain Spirit Mine is owned by the Sanxuan Sect. It is jointly mined by the Qianyi Sect, Shuiyun Sect, and Qingyang Sect. They take turns occupying it in different periods of time, and rotate it every ten years. In order to prevent over-exploitation in a certain period of time, the Sanxuan Sect They all sent disciples there and established a mutual check and balance supervision method.

For example, now, the possession of the Ling Mine belongs to the Qianyi Sect, but the person in charge of the Ling Mine is Xiao Sihua, a disciple of the Shuiyun Sect, and the person in charge of the Ling Mine is He Zhijie, a Jindan monk of the Qingyang Sect.

Therefore, this time the Demon Sect raided Xuanyue Mountain's spiritual mines, the greatest loss was undoubtedly caused by the Qianyi Sect. The spiritual mines that had been mined for nearly a year were all plundered by the Demon Sect before they could be sent to the sect, causing losses as high as millions of spiritual stones.

Hearing that the headmaster was furious, the Demon Sect was going to be wiped out again.

Tang Ning had nothing to say. Since the leader was a Golden Core cultivator, he could just follow behind to gather the number of people and become familiar with each other.

"What about intelligence liaison?"

"Junior Brother Xu has temporarily taken over, and the leader has issued a decree, asking us to search for the whereabouts of the Demon Sect with all our strength. Junior Brother Lu, Junior Brother Ye, you two personally lead the team out of the mountain to explore where the remnants of the Corpse Puppet Sect are hiding. Junior Brother Tang, you will be here tomorrow morning Go to Qianxing Mountain Hall and go to Xuanyue Mountain together with the investigation team disciples selected by other departments."

"Yes." The three of them responded one after another.

After the meeting, Tangning returned to the cave. He originally planned to improve his alchemy skills in the next period of time. To this end, he also catalyzed many low-level elixirs. Now it seems that he has to postpone it.

The sect has issued a decree, and a new demon extermination operation is about to begin, and it is not expected to end within a year and a half.

The next day, Tang Ning came to Qianxing Mountain and entered the inner room.

I saw the headmaster Wei Xuande, the master of the three halls, and the master of the three courtyards sitting in the hall, with five or six people standing below.

Tang Ning walked forward quickly and bowed to Wei Xuande: "Intelligence Department disciple Tang Ning pays homage to the leader."

Wei Xuande nodded without saying anything.

Not long after, several more people came to the hall one after another.

Wei Xuande asked: "Junior Brother Shi, are everyone here?"

Shi Mingsui nodded.

Wei Xuande said: "I believe you all know about the Xuanyue Mountain Spirit Mine. The investigation team established by the sect this time is the result of discussions between Shuiyun and Qingyang sects and me. The situation in Xuanyue Mountain is more complicated. Not only There are disciples of our sect, as well as many disciples of Qingyang sect and Shuiyun sect.”

"If only one sect is responsible, it will not have the right to investigate the disciples of the other two sects, and it may also harm the harmony. Therefore, the three sects each sent an investigation team to form a joint investigation team. This time, your mission is not only to find out the demons in Xuanyue Mountain. Zong Xizuo, what’s more important is to find out where the Bloody Bone Gate is.”

"We have information that this attack on the Xuanyue Mountain Spiritual Mine is from the Blood Bone Sect General Altar. Because Xuanyue Mountain is at the junction of Wu and Qi, and is within the territory of the Qingyang and Shuiyun sects, it is inconvenient for our sect to send a large number of disciples to encircle and suppress it. You all obey Jiang Junior Brother Ming’s arrangement is to find out the location of the Blood Bone Sect’s main altar and assist the Qingyang and Shuiyun Sects in slaying the demons.”

"Fang Xiangming, you serve as the deputy director of the investigation team and assist Junior Brother Jiang."

"Yes." A bearded man responded.

"Junior Brother Shi, it's a long way to go. Please send all the disciples to Xuanyue Mountain. Junior Brother Jiang Ming is waiting for you there."

"Okay." Shi Ming nodded and everyone left the meeting hall and jumped onto the Aurora Boat.

Shi Ming was flying in front of him, his spiritual power controlled the boat, and everyone was sitting on it.

Fang Xiangming said: "Junior brothers, you have just announced your names in the hall, but I am afraid that those who come after you don't know, why don't you introduce me again here, I am a disciple of the Palm Seal Department of Qingxuan Hall, my name is Fang Xiang."

"Xie Lang from the Qingxuan Palace Department," said a man next to him.

"Ma Quan, Inspector of Xuande Palace."

"Yaqin, the military guard of Xuande Palace."

Everyone said one by one that this time the sect selected a total of fifteen foundation-building disciples to form an investigation team, including two disciples each from Xuande Hall, Qingxuan Hall, and Yuanyi Hall.

There is one disciple each in the Secret Academy, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Department directly under the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

In addition to the various departments under the Secret Academy, there is one person in the Forbidden Secret Division, one person in the Discipline Division, one person in the Intelligence Division, one person in the Secret Security Division, one person in the Inspection Division, and one person in the Security Division, for a total of fifteen people.

Among them, three monks in the later stage of foundation building are Fang Xiangming of Qingxuan Hall, Ma Quan of Xuande Hall, and Zuo Yi of Yuanyi Hall.

There are three other monks who are in the middle stage of foundation building. They are Ge Hong, who is directly under the Secret Academy, Miao Wei, who is directly under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Yuan Qing, who is directly under the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The remaining nine people are all in the early stage of foundation building.

This configuration seems to have been carefully considered, with two disciples drawn from each of the three halls, one in the late stage of foundation building and one in the early stage of foundation building.

The departments directly under the three academies are all disciples in the middle stage of foundation building, and the other departments are all disciples in the early stage of foundation building.

If it was just to investigate the details of the Demon Sect, this arrangement would be a bit redundant. It must be that they were preparing for a war with the Blood and Bone Sect.

A few days later, everyone came to a mountain range covered by clouds and fog.

This mountain stretches for hundreds of miles, and one of them is very special. There is no grass growing around it. The mountain is brown and bare, which is particularly conspicuous in this lush dense forest.

"Junior brothers, this is Xuanyue Mountain. The brown mountain is where the spiritual mine is. It was originally covered by a large formation. However, a few days ago, the Demon Sect raided the spiritual mine. Not only did they take away all the spiritual stones, but the large formation was also Destroyed," Fang Xiangming said.

The Aurora Boat swooped down, and through the clouds and fog, everyone could vaguely see the large brown mountain surrounded by a large group of slaves, at least hundreds or even thousands of people, using iron picks to dig into the mountain.

In mid-air, dozens of disciples were patrolling and supervising these servants on flying swords.

The aurora boat landed on the top of a mountain, and everyone jumped off the boat. Shi Mingsui did not stop for a long time, collected the boat, and turned into light and left.

Not long after, two men wearing Qingyang Sect costumes came over: "You fellow Taoists are the investigation team sent by the Qianyi Sect this time!"

"Yes, I don't know where my uncle Jiang is now." Fang Xiang said.

"Senior Guizong Jiang is meditating in his house. The Shuiyun Sect and Qingyang Sect investigation teams have arrived the day before yesterday. They are just waiting for you. Since you are here, I will tell Senior Guizong Jiang." The man said, turning into a spirit Escape from the light and go away.

Soon, two rays of light came from the east one after the other. One of them was one foot long and had white hair on his temples. It was Jiang Ming, a golden elixir monk of the Qianyi Sect.

The other person was the Qingyang Sect disciple who had just gone to summon him.

"Uncle Jiang." Everyone bowed to him.

"You two go and invite Fellow Daoist He and Fellow Daoist Yu over. Tell them that the disciples of the Qianyi Sect have arrived, and ask them to bring their own disciples to discuss matters." Jiang Ming said.

"Yes." The two Qingyang Sect members replied.

"Come with me!"

Everyone followed him to a hall. Not long after, Shuiyun Sect disciples arrived. The leader was a beautiful young woman, about thirty years old, with a face like white jade and black eyebrows. Most of the disciples behind her were from the female stream. All of them have beautiful faces and graceful figures.

One of them is looking forward to making money, and there is a romantic charm in his movements. He is Nangong Feiyue, one of the three non-monsters of Shuiyun Sect.

After a while, everyone from the Qingyang Sect also arrived.

Three Jindan monks lined up in a row, sitting on the main seat in the hall.

"Fang Xiangming, and little friend Qin from the Shuiyun Sect, and young friend Zhou from the Qingyang Sect, please take a seat too!" Jiang Ming said.

"Yes." The three of them responded, each taking a seat below.

"Fellow Daoist Yu, fellow Taoist congratulations, all the disciples of the three sects have arrived. Should we start the investigation now?" Jiang Ming asked.

He Zhijie said: "Let me tell the two disciples of your sect what happened that day first! On July 12th, I left here and went to Duanjishanfang City to buy some items. On July 13th, around Yinshi, the Blood Bone Gate Everyone attacked the spirit mine, killed dozens of disciples, seized the spirit stones in the storage room, and broke the formation. "

"After I came back, I interrogated many disciples. They all said that about half an hour before the Blood Bone Sect attack, the chief Xiao Siyan had somehow closed the Sancai Xuanyu Formation guarding the spirit mine."

"There is a sound transmission array with our sect in the spiritual mine. Once there are changes, we can be notified through the sound transmission array. Our sect's golden elixir monks can arrive here within an hour or two. The sound transmission array and Sancai The Xuanyu Formation is two separate formations. By the time our sect received the news and arrived, everyone in the Blood and Bone Sect had already fled without a trace."

Jiang Mingdao: "Obviously, this was a raid carefully planned by the Demon Sect. The inner spirit seduced the outsiders. After the Demon Sect's spy left, he notified the Blood and Bone Sect General Altar, and then used some method to deceive Xiao Sihua. Trust, close the formation. Then the Demon Sect disciples attacked in large numbers, snatched the spirit stones, and left in a hurry."

Yu Muqing said: "How can they be sure that Fellow Daoist He will not come back?"

He Zhijie said: "This is not a secret. I have been here to control the Weiling Mine for more than seven or eight years. Every time I go out, it takes ten and a half months to get back. If you are interested in prying, you can easily find out, and they are fully prepared. Yes, two Jindan monks have been dispatched. Even if I return to the spiritual mine, it will be difficult to compete with them without a large formation to resist. "

"How many people know that Senior He is out in Duanjishanfang City this time?" Qin Aoxue asked

"Only my disciple knows. Every time I leave, I ask my disciple to inform Xiao Sihua. Therefore, both my disciple and Xiao Sihua know about this matter. But if the Demon Sect is careful and careful, it will not be difficult to notice that I leave the spirit mine." Things."
