Chronicles of Celestial Origins

"I'm just worried that fellow Taoist Tang will go to the front line to command the troops to attack Yanggu County. If something goes wrong, I will be responsible for it. How will I explain it to your department? The risk is too great. I advise you. You should think twice.”

"Now that we are here, we should put life and death aside. The fight against the demons is either your death or my death. Tang only hopes to do his best. As for matters of life and death, there is destiny. If you are unfortunate enough to die here, , it is also caused by destiny, what does it have to do with fellow Taoist Gan, and there is no need for fellow Taoist to explain it to this department. "

"Now that fellow Taoist Tang has made up his mind, okay! Let fellow Taoist lead the troops to attack Yanggu County, and I will support you from the rear."

"Previously, the 7th and 8th legions attacked Yanggu County, resulting in a lot of casualties and incomplete structures. I hope that the 9th and 10th legions will be the vanguard. I will lead my disciples to lead these two legions to attack Yanggu County. In addition, I want to combine the two armies into one and attack from Yangshunting."

"Okay, just follow what fellow Taoist Tang said." Gan Xian nodded and responded.

Tang Ning personally led the front troops to attack Yanggu County. Although he was doubtful, he already wanted this, so naturally he would not care about such a trivial matter.

The two discussed for a long time and determined the route and strategy of entering the army.

………

Soon, the agreed period of marching in troops arrived, and Tang Ning led the 9th and 10th Army Corps as the front, heading towards Yanggu County.

The Lezi ship was sailing thousands of feet high in the sky. In the cabin, a group of people were sitting upright. Tang Ning was sitting in the main seat, giving instructions on various matters.

"The Ninth Army Corps is the vanguard, and the goal is to capture Huayin City in Yanggu County. The Tenth Army Corps is the rear guard. After capturing Huayin City, they will rest here for a while. Then the Tenth Army Corps will be the vanguard, and each other will Attack Jianghuai City and Yuezhi City from the southwest in turn, all the way to the base of Yanggu County."

"Our allied disciples are ready to assist the front line at any time. During this period, we are not allowed to stay without orders."

"Yes." Everyone responded in unison.

…

The mighty team stretched for thousands of miles. After entering Yanggu County, the ninth legion immediately distanced itself from the tenth legion and headed towards Huayin City in Yanggu county.

As the head coach, of course Tangning didn't need to go to the front line to attack the city in person. She only had to sit back and wait for news from the front line.

As the days passed, news of the Ninth Legion came like snow.

"The Ninth Army captured Shaxuan Pavilion."

"The Ninth Legion captured Wuxianting and killed hundreds of demons."

"The Ninth Legion has captured Huabiao Pavilion and is heading towards Xuanyu Pavilion."

………

There are twelve cities under Yanggu County, most of which are concentrated near the county. Therefore, there are not many troops stationed in each city under its jurisdiction. With the strength of the ninth legion, it is natural that it will be overwhelming at the beginning, and it will destroy everything. This was expected, not surprising.

Since the demon clan has occupied Hanoi County for ten years, along the way, it can be seen that many spiritual veins have been transformed into torrential demonic energy by them, and there are signs of desert in many places.

Naturally, the efficiency of the army's march cannot be too fast. When Tang Ning led most of the 10th Army to Huayin City, more than half a year had passed.

Within the majestic city walls, black mist can be faintly seen drifting. The demon clan has been entrenched here for several years. Many spiritual veins in the city have long been converted into demonic energy. Many lush mountains and forests have become a desolate place as far as the eye can see. .

Tang Ning stepped on the soft ground. The originally hard soil had now become soft and soft, like quicksand. This was the spiritual vein most severely infested by demons in the entire Huayin City.

The originally lush trees around them have all withered and died, and not far away is the Demon Spirit Transformation Array.

The formation altar is dozens of miles in size, and a steady stream of black mist spurts out from below, rising straight into the sky, forming a thick black cloud layer that looks like a substance. The spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth is already very weak, but the demonic energy is very heavy.

With the current strength of the demon clan, if they want to expand their territory, not to mention whether they can swallow up the neighboring Henan and Hedong counties, they will at least be able to make the Liangzhou coalition forces very upset.

But they have remained motionless over the years. Even the last time the Liangzhou Allied Forces dispatched several legions to attack Hanoi County, after being defeated, the demons still did not take advantage of the situation to fight out. Instead, they huddled in Hanoi County like a tortoise and did not continue to move out. Expand territory.

The reason is actually very simple.

The demons are alien creatures, and they cannot directly occupy the human race's cultivation resources for their own use, which is different from the demons.

After the demon clan occupies the spiritual mines and spiritual veins, they can directly use them for themselves, and they will make money if they grab them. Therefore, every time they invade the states and counties under the rule of the Xuanmen family, they frantically expand their territory until they are completely repelled.

However, the demons need a long period of transformation before they can be used, so they are not in a hurry to expand their territory. Even if they expand their territory to Hanoi and Hedong County, they will inevitably encounter a crazy counterattack by the Liangzhou coalition forces, and they will be unable to defend themselves. It’s useless to live there. It will take at least several decades for them to completely transform their spiritual energy into demonic energy.

This is the reason why they stick to Hanoi County and do not expand outwards. They need to convert the aura of Hanoi County into demonic energy first, and then use it as a base to encroach outward step by step.

"Senior Tang, this department has killed more than 3,000 demons this time. Less than a thousand people died, hundreds of monks were injured, and more than a hundred warships were damaged. All the injured have been arranged to rest in Hedong County. "Foster." Several senior officials of the Ninth Army followed him, and the commander of the Ninth Army followed suit.

"Very good, you have made great contributions in this battle, and the coalition forces will definitely give you rewards. As for your gains and injuries, you don't have to report to me. I am an outsider and can't care about your internal affairs. These matters will be discussed by you after the war is over. Just report it directly to fellow Taoist Gan."

"yes."

"Let's rest here for a while. The next attack on Jianghuai City will be with the 10th Army Corps as the front, and you will support from behind. During this period, your department will still be responsible for the defense to prevent a sudden attack by the demons."

"Junior understands, junior will arrange it immediately."

Tangning inspected some of the more polluted spiritual veins in Huayin City, gave a bunch of instructions, and then returned to the Leizi ship.

These polluted spiritual veins need to be purified by formations to remove the evil energy between heaven and earth, but now is obviously not the time.

In order to deal with the aftermath, the demons must be completely driven away from Hanoi County before unified deployment. Otherwise, the large purification and demon elimination array will be built today, and the demons will attack again tomorrow, which will consume both time and money.

"Uncle Tang, these are the magic crystals captured in this battle. They are all here. Please check them." In the bright room, a middle-aged man with a big face and big ears held a storage bag in his hands and handed it to Tang Ning.

This person is Ma Chu, a disciple of Taixuanzong, and has a close relationship with Guo Qiuhua. Before the Ninth Army marched into Huayin City, Tang Ning sent him to the Ninth Army to assist in the battle. He was said to be assisting, but in fact he was a military governor, and he was also given the task of He embarked on a secret mission to collect magic crystals.

Every time the Ninth Legion captured a place, it was responsible for cleaning the battlefield. In addition to collecting magic crystals from monster corpses, Ma Chu also personally purchased the captured magic crystals from the top management of the Ninth Legion on the grounds that they were used for Refining elixirs.

He is Tang Ning's personal confidant.

Tang Ning was the commander-in-chief of this combat operation. Of course, the monks of the Ninth Legion were not willing to offend him. In addition, the magic crystal was not a very valuable item in the first place, so the collection mission was completed smoothly.

Tangning took the storage bag and scanned it with her consciousness. Most of the magic crystals inside were low-level monsters, with only a few above level six.

"Thanks a lot."

"It is a disciple's honor to serve my uncle."

"In the future, I will still have to rely on you to collect magic crystals. The main thing is to collect more high-level magic crystals of level six or above. I will be of use. If you don't have enough spiritual stones, come to me anytime."

"Yes, disciple, I obey. I won't disturb your rest. I'll take my leave now." The man responded and left.

In a blink of an eye, more than half a month passed in the blink of an eye. The envoy sent to Dongyang County met with Gan Xian and received a reply. Gan Xian had led the seventh and eighth legions into the jurisdiction of Yanggu County, allowing him to continue leading his troops forward. Tang Ning then ordered the 10th Army Corps to be the vanguard and march towards Jianghuai City.

The mighty army set off from Huayin City and crossed countless lofty mountains of the Song Mountains along the way.

As time passed, news about the headquarters of the Tenth Legion came to his ears like snow flakes.

As expected, the Tenth Legion was unstoppable along the way. Basically, they encountered no resistant demons and almost destroyed everything they passed.

Just like that, a few months later, on this day, Tangning was sitting in the cabin of the Ninth Legion's Leizi ship as usual, irrigating the gourd and refining ice crystals.

There was a knock on the door outside. He immediately put away the gourd, sat down cross-legged, waved his hand and shot out a burst of spiritual power. The stone door opened without any wind. Outside, there was a thin figure with white temples wearing the uniform of the Liangzhou Allied Forces. The old man strode in, bowed his head and said, "Senior Tang, our headquarters was intercepted by the demon army on its way to Jianghuai City. There were Mahayana demons in the demon army. As a result, the juniors and others were defeated, so they were defeated."

When Tang Ning saw him returning, she already guessed that the Tenth Army was not going well. Because he was the supervisor of the Tenth Army, he was not at the front line, but hurried back to the rear. This shows that the war must have undergone major changes.

"Don't worry, tell me slowly, where did you encounter the demon army's attack?" Tangning asked calmly and unhurriedly.

The old man said: "The headquarters was ordered by our seniors to attack Jianghuai City. Everything went smoothly until we entered Jianghuai City County and were preparing to besiege Jianghuai City. The spies reported that a large number of demonic troops came out of Jianghuai City. The military strength is not weaker than that of our headquarters.”

"For the sake of safety, the headquarters decided to retreat and meet with the seniors before making a decision. However, the large number of demonic armies followed closely and organized an elite team to pursue them. The headquarters' army was soon entangled by the elite team of the demonic army. We had no choice but to face the enemy. When the clinkers were facing each other, a Mahayana monster appeared in the demon army. Seeing this, the juniors knew that they were no match and would be killed in one fell swoop, so they all fled in all directions. "

Tangning nodded: "Did you see that Mahayana monster with your own eyes?"

"Yes, this junior has seen it with his own eyes."

"Is there only one Mahayana monster appearing? Are there other Mahayana monsters?"

"This junior has only seen this Mahayana monster."

"Where are the rest of the Tenth Legion now?"

"The juniors and others were afraid of being targeted by the Mahayana monster, so they all fled in all directions. The juniors returned here all the way, but did not meet any other Taoist friends in this department, and I don't know where they are now."

"Okay, I understand. Come here." Tang Ning finished her words when Zhuang Qing came in from outside and saluted, "Uncle, what are your orders?"

"Call all the managers of the Ninth Legion."

"Yes." Zhuang Qing responded and left.
