Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Han Siyuan nodded slightly: "Then why does Junior Brother Tang want you to purchase so many Demonic Pills and Demonic Crystals?"

"Senior, I have a clear understanding. I don't know what Senior Tang does. Our government is only responsible for collecting high-level magic crystals for him, and we don't know anything else."

"Really?" The smile on Han Siyuan's face did not change, but his voice sounded cold and like a soldier's biting wind. In an instant, the air in the room became solemn and the temperature dropped sharply.

Shang Hanxuan's heart tightened, and he fell to the ground with a thud: "Senior, even if I give this junior a hundred courages, I don't dare to deceive my senior in person. If this junior makes even half a lie, he will die badly."

"What's going on, fellow Daoist Shang? This is not an interrogation room. It doesn't have to be like this. Please get up quickly."

Shang Hao After that, our government never dared to inquire about its whereabouts and purpose."

"I understand. Thank you for your cooperation." Han Siyuan stood up and walked out, while Shang Haoxuan followed slowly.

"Fellow Daoist Shang, I don't want anyone else to know what happened today. Just treat it as if we have never met."

"Junior knows, senior, please rest assured, junior will keep his mouth shut and will never reveal a word to the outside world."

"The investigation into Junior Brother Tang Ning is not over yet, and we may trouble fellow Daoist Shang in the future. If Junior Brother Tang has any requests, your mansion will still comply with them."

"yes."

Han Siyuan didn't say anything, and disappeared in a flash.

After he left, Han Chaoyang slowly approached: "Friend Shang Dao, my uncle is here on behalf of our sect and the coalition forces this time. I hope you can understand this. You are a smart man and you don't need me to say anything more."

"I see."

"Very good. From now on, we will contact each other individually. If there is any news about Uncle Tang, please let me know at any time."

"clear."

………

Liangzhou, Yanggu County, inside the house, while Tang Ning was sitting with her eyes closed, there was a knock on the door from outside, the stone door opened, Zhuang Qing walked in from the outside, bowed and saluted: "Uncle, Senior Gan, please come immediately In the past, we had important matters to discuss.”

Tang Ning immediately stood up and left the room, arriving at Gan Xian's residence.

"Fellow Taoist Tang, you're here." Gan Xian looked solemn and said before he could salute, "I just received bad news."

Tang Ning knew that most of Liangzhou was not going well, so she asked calmly, "What's the bad news?"

"Didn't we send a disciple to report the battle situation of our headquarters to Fellow Daoist Sun before? This person has returned. Most of the troops led by Fellow Daoist Sun did not attack well and suffered many casualties. They have now withdrawn to Hanoi County."

Tangning pretended to be surprised and said, "How could this happen?"

"The specific situation is unknown at the moment. I only heard that when Sun Daoyou and others attacked the Henan County, they were attacked by the demons and the team was defeated. We underestimated the strength of the demons. There were far more than a dozen demons who poured into Hanoi County. Mahayana monks, it is said that even fellow Taoist Sun was injured."

"If this is the case, then our situation will be a bit worrying. Once most of the army led by Daoyou Sun withdraws from Hanoi County, we will not have the power to contain the main force of the demon clan, and we will not be able to stay in Yanggu County for long. If the demon clan leads a major comeback, We will definitely not be able to stop it.”

"Yes! I think so too, so I came to discuss with you. Looking at the current situation, how should we make a decision?"

"Has Fellow Daoist Sun made corresponding arrangements?"

"Fellow Daoist Sun was injured. The disciple who passed on the order didn't see him at all. He only saw Daoist Daoist Wei Wen. Fellow Daoist Wei didn't give any clear instructions. It's up to us to decide whether to go or stay."

"In this case, I don't want to stay here for a long time, and I have to leave quickly. Otherwise, the demon army will come with a large force, and it will be too late for us to retreat. Even the coalition forces were defeated and returned in defeat. How can the two of us hold this place? Yanggu County.”

"Okay, I will immediately order the team to assemble and withdraw from Yanggu County."

…

Dark clouds covered the moon and heavy rain poured down. The Leizi ship sailed through the clouds and fog at high altitudes. The mighty Liangzhou coalition troops stretched for thousands of miles and withdrew from Yanggu County. They marched day and night. Four regiments arrived in Dongyang County one after another. .

…

In the dim room, Tang Ning walked in from the outside and saluted Ying Yuan who was sitting inside: "Fellow Daoist Ying, I just came back from Yanggu County and heard about your return in defeat. what's going on?"

"Fellow Taoist Tang is back, please take a seat!"

Tang Ning sat down as instructed, still pretending to be surprised: "There are twenty-four Mahayana monks led by fellow Taoist Sun. How could they be defeated by the demons so quickly? What happened? ?”

Ying Yuan sighed slightly: "It's just that the intelligence was wrong. The strength of the demon army is much stronger than we imagined. At the beginning, we led our troops directly into Hanoi County. The road was almost unimpeded. The defense teams in the demon cities fled in vain. , the team advanced all the way and attacked Hanoi County, only to encounter some resistance from the demon army, but they were basically defeated at the first touch. "

"Until we arrived at the foot of Hanoi County, we couldn't attack for a long time, so Sun Daoyou led his troops to the front line in person. Just when we were about to break through the demon army's formation, a large number of demon troops suddenly came out. We were caught off guard and suffered a lot of casualties. "

"The demonic army had at least thirty Mahayana monks in Hanoi County. They came out from the city together. No one thought that they had such a strong defensive force. After a chaotic battle, the coalition forces were killed, injured, and escaped. , so he returned defeated."

"The demon army has been showing weakness before, luring us deep into the enemy's territory. Until the frontline troops attacked the Hanoi County City, they were still unable to retreat, and created the illusion of tenacious resistance. This was to deceive all the main forces of the headquarters into the city, and then think It’s a matter of battle.”

"Fellow Daoist Sun led most of his troops to follow. There were only a few Mahayana monks in the front. Since he could not attack the county city for a long time, he led his troops to reach the city. This fell into the demon army's plan."

"The demonic army suddenly burst out from within, and so many Mahayana monks came out at once. Everyone panicked and fought individually, but were defeated one by one by the demonic army."

"Fellow Daoist Deng from our headquarters was injured and has been sent to the rear to recuperate. There is still no news about Daoist Yi until now. It is probably more serious than bad."

Tang Ning asked, "How many casualties did the Liangzhou coalition force have?"

"There are six people injured and seven people disconnected."

Sun Jingyuan led the 24 Mahayana monks of the Liangzhou Allied Forces to attack Hanoi County. The casualties were as many as half. There is no doubt that this was a huge and heavy blow to the Liangzhou Allied Forces, almost halving the strength of the Liangzhou Allied Forces.

"The Liangzhou coalition has suffered so many casualties at once. What will happen next? If the demon army takes advantage of the situation and attacks, it may be difficult to resist."

"The biggest worry now is that the demon army will take the opportunity to attack Henan and Hedong counties. The strength of the Liangzhou coalition forces was severely damaged in this battle. If they want to defend Liangzhou, they need to urgently recruit troops and strengthen their strength. But this cannot be done in a moment. It can be decided, but until then, we still have to stay here."

"So, we won't be able to return to Tianyuan City in a short time."

"Under this situation, it is impossible for Liangzhou to let us leave. By the way, how is your situation? Did you encounter Mahayana monsters when you attacked Yanggu County?"

It turned out that he didn't know the situation in Yanggu County. It seemed that he was separated from Wei Wentong and others during the battle in Hanoi County.

"My side is consistent with the previous intelligence. There are two Mahayana monsters stationed in Yanggu County. On the way to attack Yanggu County, those two monsters led their troops to support us. I have eliminated those two monsters. After we captured Yanggu County, we stationed there for a period of time. After sending people to report to fellow Taoist Sun, we learned that most of the troops had returned in vain, so we withdrew from Yanggu County."

When Ying Yuan heard this, his expression did not change at all, but his eyes suddenly became sharp: "Oh? Fellow Taoist Tang killed two Mahayana monsters? I don't know what happened specifically?"

Tangning smiled and said: "At that time, I led the 9th and 10th legions as the front group and marched towards Jianghuai City. I happened to encounter the monsters stationed in Yanggu County rushing towards me. I originally thought that the enemy army only had one Mahayana monster, so I thought I took this opportunity to defeat them one by one. Unexpectedly, two monsters were among the demon army. After a fierce battle, I was lucky enough to kill them."

"Ah! Fellow Taoist Tang fought two Mahayana monsters alone and killed them. This battle was enough to make fellow Taoist famous all over the world." A smile appeared on Ying Yuan's face: "fellow Taoist is really a gifted person, so... Even though he has broken through the Mahayana at such a young age, he is actually so powerful in terms of magical powers. He achieved such great achievements in the first battle and earned a lot of face for our Xuanmen allies. "

"Fellow Daoist Ying is so complimentary."

"Fellow Taoist Tang, you know, it is said that in this melee with the demons, the coalition forces only killed three Mahayana demons in total, but Taoist Taoist Tang killed two Mahayana demons alone. With such a great achievement, he is enough to become famous."

"This may not be a good thing. It's a false reputation but a real disaster. I just hope that no one will remember me."

"How could it be? Fellow Taoist Tang killed monsters. No one except the demons would hate you for this."

"People's hearts are unpredictable!" Tang Ning's eyes were far-reaching and her voice was long. (End of chapter)
