Chronicles of Celestial Origins

"Fellow Daoist Yan, be careful of this trap." A man said with a solemn expression.

"If we go out together, even if it's a trap, we can still fight it."

Yan Jiuzheng's eyes flickered, he pondered for a while, and then waved his hand and said: "No, he knows where we are hiding. If he wants to deal with us, there is no need to use these sneaky tricks. Besides, it is not good for him to deal with us. All he needs to do is crepe. Fellow Taoist, just go with me. If we don't come back within half an hour, be prepared."

"Okay, let's do it!"

After several people discussed it, Yan Jiuzheng and two other mid-level Mahayana monks rose into the air and entered the rotating purple light cave one after another.

Tang Ning returned to the island. Not long after, he saw Yan Jiuzheng's figure emerge from inside and land in front of him. He looked around and asked, "Why do you have to come here?"

"For me, the outside is always safer than that closed independent space. This time I came alone. If you get malicious intentions, at least I have a chance to fight and escape here."

Tangning didn't hide her thoughts. Even if she didn't say it, the other party would have guessed it. Instead of doing so, it would be better to openly admit that although being so cautious would undermine his status as a messenger of the gods, his own life safety was the most important thing. So I came here just for safety.

"I thought you, a messenger of the gods, were not afraid of heaven or earth. It turns out that you were also worried about your own safety."

Yan Jiuzheng raised his lips slightly. Tangning had always been a very mysterious and powerful figure in his mind. Now that he knew that she also acted in fear, he felt relieved, as if he had some handle on the other party.

"I just know some of the secrets of the fairy world better than you, and I am more fortunate to be favored by the great gods. Even the gods of the fairy world will fall, let alone me." He finished speaking, and another person fell in the purple halo.

"We have completed what you asked for last time. Now you can tell us what you want to do this time."

"I heard about it, you did a good job. Since you cut off Yuan Jian's head, you should probably get its demon elixir and give it to me." Naturally, Tang Ning would not let go of the matter of trying to steal Yuan Jian. When he mentioned it, He immediately asked him for the demon pill.

Yan Jiuzheng did not hesitate. He turned his hand and took out a crystal-clear half-red and half-gold demon pill.

Although the Mahayana-level demon elixir was extremely valuable, it was of no use in his hands. He could only exchange it for some items. Naturally, he would not offend Tang Ning for such a mere thing. He kept the demon elixir just to prove that Yuanjian was his. Kill and retain evidence.

"Is this why you came here?"

"Of course not." Tangning took the demon pill and put it in her storage bag: "A war is about to break out between the Qingzhou Alliance Army and the Mubei Alliance Army. During this period, I need a powerful bodyguard to protect my safety in secret. From the Undead It’s too troublesome to transfer people, and their identities are not suitable for appearing in front of others. You are the best candidates.”

This is the purpose of his coming here, to find a bodyguard for himself. Although with his current strength, he can deal with anyone calmly, even the Maurya King, things on the battlefield are full of variables, not to mention he is the center of attention. There are countless people watching him secretly. Just in case, he needs someone to protect him in the dark.

"You are indeed very cautious." Yan Jiuzheng's eyes showed some unknown meaning. After saying this, a middle-stage Mahayana monk fell from the purple circle of light and came behind him.

"Aren't you also very cautious?" Tangning glanced at the purple light hole still spinning high in the sky: "Is there anyone else?"

"No, just the three of us."

"Since we are here, let me assign a task to you two. During this period, you are responsible for secretly protecting my wife's safety."

"No problem. Is this the second thing?"

"Forget it." Tangning nodded. The space channel between the Tianyuan Realm and the Immortal Realm was already in reserve, so there was no harm in telling them. In exchange for them completing three things for themselves, it would be a waste of money.

What's more, once they know the location and confirm the existence of the spatial passage, they will naturally deepen their trust in themselves.

Yan Jiuzheng raised his head slightly, and the two people behind him looked at each other. All three of them looked satisfied. Finding the passage connecting the spaces was their top priority. They had been secretly looking for clues since they returned to the Tianyuan world, and now they were right in front of them. Tangning asked them to explain the second thing so quickly, which was even more unexpected. They even felt it was a bit too relaxed.

Whether it is to kill Yuanjian or to serve as a guard, for them, it is something that can be easily accomplished within their capabilities.

Compared with the secret of the space passage connecting the fairy world, this is nothing.

They thought that Tang Ning's three things would be very troublesome, but they didn't expect that each one would be easier than the last.

"When will it start?" Yan Jiuzheng asked quickly, as if he was afraid that he would regret it.

"Time starts from now until the end of the war. I have only two requirements. First, your mission is to protect secretly and cannot be discovered by others. I don't want to cause another trouble because of you. Second, your life is not at stake. In critical moments, you must not take action.”

"Fellow Daoist Yan is responsible for secretly guarding my safety. When the time comes, I will go to the front line with the army. If nothing happens, I will be responsible for attacking Pingyuan County. You don't need to keep in touch with me at all times. You will only wait for the Qingzhou army to enter Pingyuan County. , Just follow me from a distance. You are not allowed to show up until I call you."

"Fellow Daoist Cree and Tao Dao are responsible for secretly guarding my wife's safety. After the war breaks out, she will not be with me and will probably stay at the rear. I am mainly worried that someone will take advantage of the chaos to attack her. You need to be vigilant at all times and be equally careful not to be exposed. itself."

"Okay, you can leave this matter to us." Yan Jiuzheng nodded and said: "As agreed in advance, we will be responsible for secret protection, no problem. If no one threatens you by then, or your wife is safe. In other words, regardless of us If we don’t take action, it will be considered complete.”

"Of course, I'm just looking for you just in case. I hope there won't be a critical situation. If you take action, it will definitely arouse others' suspicion."

………

Qingzhou, Jinan County, Nether Sea Organization Branch, an old man with white hair and beard sat at the desk, put the file in his hand, and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Yuan Jian was killed, who do you think did it?"

Xu Wenruo, who was sitting across from him, said calmly: "It's hard to say right now. My guess is that it's most likely a member of the organization behind Zhang Shilin. Maybe it's the late Mahayana monk who ambushed Tang Ning."

"Why?"

"As far as I know, Yuanjian has been investigating this person over the years. It seems that Mubei also attaches great importance to this mysterious organization. Therefore, it is possible that he found something and was discovered by this person and was eventually silenced. And from the perspective of the method Look, Xuanjian's death is very similar to Shang Haoxuan's death. Shang Haoxuan was thrown on the stone hill, and Xuanjian's head was thrown in the valley. "

"Well, your analysis makes sense. But why did this person do this? After killing Yuan Jian, he cut off his head and threw it into the valley."

"Back then, the mysterious Mahayana monk killed Shang Haoxuan and left his body on the stone hill in order to lure Tang Ning out and ambush him. This time, it is possible that he is repeating his old tricks and trying to lure someone out to pay. Maybe it's just a simple act. A warning is a warning to those who secretly investigate him."

"What has Tangning been up to recently?"

"He has been at the coalition headquarters recently and has not been out. This matter should have nothing to do with him. The latest intelligence information I received about him was his speech in the Qingzhou coalition meeting hall. Perhaps you already know that he supports sending troops to the Mubei coalition , and threatened to chop off the Maurya King’s head and hang it under the Donglai County Gate Tower.”

The old man frowned slightly: "Yuanjian and Tangning are mortal enemies. Tangning was ambushed by the mysterious late Mahayana monk, and Yuanjian was suspected of being killed by the mysterious late Mahayana monk. Logically speaking, Yuanjian should be in the same camp as the late Mahayana monk. They Have a common goal.”

"The enemies of the enemy are not necessarily friends, just like humans, demons, and demons. Demons and demons are enemies, humans and demons are enemies, and humans and demons are also enemies. Don't all the top brass of the Qingzhou Alliance intend to Take advantage of the demon clan's invasion of Mubei to launch an attack on the demon clan stationed in Qingzhou?"

"Of course I understand this. I just think it's a bit too coincidental."

"Do you think Yuan Jian's murder was related to Tangning? Is there any basis for this?"

"No, it's just an intuition. Maybe our thinking was wrong from the beginning. If you think about it carefully, who wants Yuan Jian to die the most? It must be Tangning."

"Yuan Jian and Tang Ning have a sworn hatred. Tang Ning killed Yuan Jian's son, and Xuan Jian almost lost Tang Ning's wife."

"But, what grudge does Tangning have against the mysterious late-stage Mahayana monk who ambushed him? No. Why did the mysterious late-stage Mahayana monk ambush him? We don't know either. Therefore, it is not true that Tang Ning and the mysterious late-stage Mahayana monk are mortal enemies. ”

Xu Wenruo put his palms to his lips and said thoughtfully: "What do you mean? Tangning and the mysterious late Mahayana man are actually a group? The previous ambush was a staged stunt to confuse others?"

The old man's eyes lit up: "This possibility cannot be ruled out. Let's review it again. Tang Ning and Zhang Shilin entered the space crack at the same time. What was the final situation? Tang Ning's cultivation level skyrocketed, and Zhang Shilin's cultivation level skyrocketed."

"After Tang Ning heard the clues about Zhang Shilin in Liangzhou, she went out of her way and actively asked to join the Liang Wuying investigation team."

"After Tangning was promoted to the middle stage of Mahayana, she was ambushed by the mysterious late stage Mahayana monk. This was an unknown cause and purpose. In the end, there were no casualties. The late stage Mahayana monk just casually exchanged a few moves with Tang Ning. I just retreated, isn’t it strange?”

"This person took such a big risk to ambush Tang Ning near the Qingzhou Alliance Army Headquarters, but he retreated after only a few attacks. No one was injured at the scene, and no one died. The only one who died was Shang Haoxuan."

"Moreover, before Tangning went to the scene, she took the initiative to get Kong Rui on board. As a result, Kong Rui became a witness to the ambush. It confirmed the conflict between Tangning and the mysterious late Mahayana monk."

"Later, Yuan Jian, who had a sworn feud with Tang Ning, was assassinated, and this person was most likely the mysterious late Mahayana monk."

"Another crucial point is that when Yuan Jian ambushed Tangning's wife, an unidentified Mahayana monk appeared and stopped Yuan Jian."

"We still haven't found out who this person is."

"It's all like a well-planned game. If you look at it from another angle, all the unreasonable things will be easily solved."

"If the mysterious organization behind Tangning and Zhang Shilin are the same group, it can be explained."
