Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Tang Ning said: "I don't know what my comrades from Liangzhou Alliance think, but I came with the Xuanmen Alliance to assist the Liangzhou Alliance and was not directly assigned by the Liangzhou Alliance. If comrades from Liangzhou have any objections, you can let them know Come to me directly and let me explain.”

Wei Wentong remained silent. He originally wanted to find Tangning to understand the situation, but he didn't expect that things would turn out like this.

Seeing that his attitude was so resolute, it was hard for him to object directly. Although he was the commander-in-chief of the Liangzhou Allied Forces, Tang Ning was not under his command and was not assigned by him.

Moreover, this confrontation with the enemy in front of the enemy must be done voluntarily, otherwise it will be useless to work hard and run away as soon as the demons are encountered.

Seeing that he did not express his position, Tang Ning continued: "My participation in the investigation of Zhang Shilin does not mean that I will withdraw from the Liangzhou Coalition. Of course, I am still a member of the coalition, and I am only temporarily assisting in the investigation."

"Currently, our headquarters' strategy is to focus on defense, and we have no intention of launching an offensive. Although the monsters in Hanoi County are ready to move, I don't expect them to invade Hedong and Henan counties on a large scale in the short term. If there is a large-scale invasion of the demon world, I will Just return to the coalition immediately."

"To be honest, I got a treasure from the ruins of the royal palace in the space crack there. Zhang Shilin was snatched away by a mysterious person in the ruins of the palace. This treasure may be related to that mysterious person. If I participate in the operation, I will definitely be able to Provide assistance in the investigation of Zhang Shilin.”

Wei Wentong finally nodded: "Okay! Since Fellow Taoist Tang insists on this, then do whatever you want! Since the bad disciple is a disciple of Liang Wuying, the person currently in charge of this matter in Liangzhou is Junior Brother Guan Yu, the manager of Liang Wuying. I will tell you later I will send someone to take you to Junior Brother Guan. From now on, Fellow Daoist Tang will assist Junior Brother Guan in investigating this matter."

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Wei."

"Fellow Taoist Tang has to work closely with the Liang Wuying disciples of our sect to participate in the investigation of Zhang Shilin this time. No matter what is discovered, we must communicate with our sect in a timely manner."

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Wei, I know how to do it."

…

The two chatted for a while before Tangning said goodbye and left.

Watching his figure disappear, Wei Wentong showed a thoughtful expression. After a long time, he called a disciple and gave a few words, and the disciple immediately left the room.

After leaving Wei Wentong's cave, Tang Ning came to the coalition camp and sat down. After some verbal exchanges and insinuations, he was sure that the higher-ups of Tianyuan Realm Xuanmen didn't know about the abandoned place. Wei Wentong This is the basis for allowing him to join the investigation team.

If Daodezong already knew the secret of the Abandoned Land, he would definitely not let him, an outsider, participate in the operation to capture the strong men of the Abandoned Land.

This involves the secret of the passage to the fairy world. Naturally, the fewer people know about it, the better.

Judging from Wei Wentong's performance, he still knows nothing about these things. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that he deliberately pretended to be this way.

Perhaps Daodezong has realized that this matter is not simple, but it is certain that they do not know the core secret.

Unless a strong man who returned from the abandoned land was caught by mistake, it would be impossible to guess how deep the water is inside just based on some clues and speculations.

Tang Ning also understood that his display of such enthusiasm would inevitably arouse Wei Wentong's suspicion, but he no longer cared about this. As the saying goes, there are too many lice and no need to worry about too many debts.

The secrets and aura about him are already enough to attract attention and suspicion, and one or two more things are just like icing on the cake.

Moreover, Wei Wentong made a special trip to find him and revealed the matter to him, which may not be a temptation in itself.

In the eyes of outsiders, Zhang Shilin and he had a certain connection. Both of them had undergone tremendous changes after entering the ruins of the space rift.

He got the treasure map and was promoted to the Mahayana cultivation level. Zhang Shilin was taken away from him and his cultivation level advanced by leaps and bounds. It is difficult for the two to avoid arousing conjecture and suspicion from others.

Rather than arousing others' doubts, it was more important for him to get a breakthrough from Zhang Shilin, find the strong man from the Tianyuan world who had returned from the abandoned place, and explore his secrets.

………

Hongnong County, the headquarters of the Daode Sect's Wuwei camp in Liangzhou, inside the majestic cave, a tall middle-aged man sat cross-legged with his eyes closed. There was a knock on the door outside, and as the stone door opened, a A petite woman came in from the outside and bowed respectfully.

"Uncle, the disciples of the Guard Hall have come to report that Uncle Yang Shoucheng, who is next to Hall Master Wei, has arrived with senior Tang Ning of Taixuan Sect. He said that he was ordered by Hall Master Wei to see you for something important. The Guard Hall does not dare to let him in rashly, and he is asking for a meeting outside. He is waiting. Your dictatorship.”

"Tang Ning?" The man frowned slightly.

"Yes. That's what the guard palace who sent the message said."

"I'll go see for myself." The man stood up slowly, left the cave, and came to the huge light curtain accompanied by his entourage.

At this time, it was the zenith of the moon, and the breeze was blowing the leaves all around. The clear moonlight shone through the dense forest, and the two people were seen standing in the shadow.

Tang Ning was waiting outside the formation, and saw a corner of the light curtain disappearing, and several figures flashing out from inside.

"Disciple pays homage to Master Guan." Yang Shoucheng, who was accompanying him, stepped forward quickly and bowed to the leading man inside.

The middle-aged man in the lead glanced at him, and then bowed his head and saluted: "Fellow Taoist Tang's name is like thunder in my ears. When I saw him today, it turns out that being famous is not as good as meeting him. Friend Taoist has come to visit me in such a great way, but I cannot welcome you from afar."

"Fellow Taoist Guan, you're welcome. I'm here to assist you," Tang Ning returned the courtesy.

"Oh? Assist Mr. Guan? I don't know what you mean by this?"

"Concerning the case of the murder of Daoist Wei Daoyou's disciple, Tang knew some inside information. After asking for instructions from your noble sect Wei Daoyou, he sent me to assist Daoist Guan in the investigation of the criminal Zhang Shilin."

After hearing this, Guan Yu became more and more confused. The murder of Wei Wentong's disciple Shi Qingzhi was an internal matter of the Daode Sect. How could a Taixuan Sect Mahayana monk be sent to assist? This makes no sense at all. Moreover, Tang Ning was sent by the Taoist Allied Forces as reinforcements to deal with the demon invasion. How did she arrange to come here?

Based on his understanding of Wei Wentong, he was not such a person who had no regard for the overall situation. He could not ignore the frontline war that was crucial to the safety of the entire Liangzhou in order to find the murderer of his disciple.

"That's it." Although there were many doubts in his heart, Guan Yu still nodded calmly: "Fellow Taoist Tang, please come! Let's go inside and talk in detail."

The two of them immediately entered the formation and took their seats in the middle room of Guan Yu's mansion.

"Fellow Taoist Tang's name has spread throughout Liangzhou, and everyone knows it. His previous deeds of killing two Mahayana monsters in Hanoi County have become a good story. To be honest, I have long wanted to get to know you, Taoist friends, and I cherish the common customs. I was busy with work and couldn't get away to pay a visit. Unexpectedly, Taoist friend came to my place in person today. "

"I have also heard of Fellow Daoist Guan's name for a long time. I hope that I can cooperate with you sincerely in the future to capture the murderer of Daoist Fellow Wei's disciple."

"Of course it's great that Fellow Daoist Tang is willing to help our headquarters capture the real culprit. But I don't understand something. I heard that the war on the front line in Hanoi County is quite tense now, and the demon army is ready to make a move. With the reputation of Fellow Daoist Tang, he is not in the coalition forces at this time. It would be overkill to sit on the front lines and stabilize the morale of the military, but to investigate a small murder case."

"To be honest, assisting your department in arresting Zhang Shilin was my request to Fellow Daoist Wei. Fellow Daoist Wei did not agree at first, but out of respect for my opinion, he allowed me to participate in the investigation of Zhang Shilin. Of course, I I was transferred to Liangzhou with the Xuanmen Allied Forces to assist the Liangzhou Allied Forces in fighting against the invasion of demons. This is my duty. Participating in the investigation of Zhang Shilin is just my personal request. Once the demons leave Hanoi County and invade Hedong or Henan County, I will return to the front line immediately."

"Why is Fellow Taoist Tang so interested in Zhang Shilin?"

"Fellow Daoist Guan must have known that Zhang Shilin and I once searched for treasures in the ruins of the palace in the space crack outside Fengyu County. What is certain now is that Zhang Shilin was snatched away. I am very curious about this person's origins, so I took the initiative to apply Join the investigation."

Guan Yu nodded slightly: "As a witness at that time, I heard that fellow Taoist Tang also received huge benefits. Then what do you think the origin of the person who took away Zhang Shilin's body was?"

"This person is definitely not a simple person. There is one thing that fellow Taoists may not know. I once encountered a space crack in Donglai County, Qingzhou. The situation inside is almost the same as what I experienced in Fengyu County." Tangning pointed out the place outside Donglai County. The matter of the space rift was reiterated.

Guan Yu's eyes flashed slightly: "Does Fellow Taoist Tang suspect that there is a mysterious organization behind the person who took Zhang Shilin's body?"

"I don't know, that's why I want to apply to join the operation to detect Zhang Shilin. If Zhang Shilin can be caught, everything will be revealed."

"We have been investigating Zhang Shilin for several years. Apart from investigating his identity information and some previous deeds, we have still found nothing about him. We don't know where he is hiding now. He is all over the world. Fellow Taoist Tang wants to I’m afraid it won’t be that easy to catch him.”

"I have a treasure that may be helpful to us in detecting Zhang Shilin."

"Oh? What treasure?"

"It was obtained from the crocodile demon who stayed in the ruined palace. I guess it is a relic of the original owner of the ruined palace. The treasure knows the people and affairs in the ruins very well. If the person who took away Zhang Shilin's body is related to the ruined palace, maybe through Can I find any clues about this treasure?”

"Fellow Taoist Tang, can you show it to me?"

"I don't have this thing with me. I have sent someone to the sect to get it."

What Tang Ning was talking about was the Xuantian Treasure obtained from the crocodile monster. As expected, the person who took Zhang Shilin's body was a strong man who returned from the abandoned land and was also the owner of the ruined palace.

The Xuantian Treasure belongs to the owner of the ruins palace. He is very familiar with the aura of the owner of the ruins, and it is unknown whether he can sense it. This thing is now in Liu Ruhan's hands. After Tangning got this thing, she quickly went to the world of the dead.

Since this object requires a large amount of pure spiritual energy, and there is no spiritual energy in the world of the dead, he handed this object to Liu Ruhan before going there.

After returning, his cultivation had broken through to the Mahayana realm, and with the magical powers imparted by the incarnation of the God of Death, he no longer needed the Xuantian Treasure due to his current strength, so the treasure remained with Liu Ruhan as her support.

Before going to Hongnong County, he had ordered Zhuang Qing to go to Qingzhou to get this treasure.

"With the help of fellow Taoist Tang, I believe we will be able to capture Zhang Shilin one day."

"I don't know how far your department's investigation has gone. Can I see your department's investigation file?"

"Fellow Taoist Tang has come a long way. Let's rest for one night. After that, I will ask the disciple in charge of investigating the case to report the specific situation. Let's discuss how to proceed."

"Okay, then I won't disturb fellow Taoist Guan." Tang Ning stood up and said.

"I'll see off fellow Taoist Tang." Guan Yu left the cave with him, and called an accompanying disciple to lead him to his accommodation. (End of chapter)
