Chronicles of Celestial Origins

In Pingyuan County, in a dark room, a dark-faced, muscular man was practicing self-cultivation in a strange way. He stood upright, raised one leg, put both palms flat on his dantian, closed his eyes, and exhaled from his mouth like Lei, his whole body was shrouded in red smoke.

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside. The man suddenly opened his eyes, took a big breath, and the mist surrounding him poured into his stomach. He took a deep breath, sat down, and waved his hand to open the stone door.

"Clan Chief, King Yunfei has arrived and is waiting in the meeting hall. He will send someone to invite you to discuss important matters." A woman with an enchanting appearance walked in and saluted him.

"Yes." The man responded, then stood up and left the room, and came to the majestic meeting hall. The Peacock King Yunfei was already seated at the main seat. There was also a fair-faced, medium-sized man in the early stage of Mahayana cultivation on the lower left side.

"King Yunfei, why did you arrive so soon? I thought you would come with the supporting army." The dark-faced man sat down and said.

"The enemy is at hand. I didn't have time to wait for so many people to wait, so I rushed over first."

"With King Yunfei stationed in this county, Pingyuan County is as solid as a rock. The rabble of the Qingzhou Alliance Army is nothing to worry about."

"I came to you to discuss strategies against the enemy. What do you think?"

The pale-faced man said: "The enemy army is powerful and the strength of our headquarters is empty. We cannot fight head-on. We need to rely on large formations to deal with it and consume the enemy's combat power bit by bit. In short, the longer the delay, the better. Now Annan County is facing the threat of demonic invasion. , we cannot reinforce our headquarters in a short period of time, and we must maintain our effective strength. Fellow Taoist Lingche and I have made corresponding arrangements, setting up many defensive formations in various counties, setting up many barriers, and adopting a step-by-step strategy to delay as much as possible. The enemy's attack rhythm."

………

"Lingche, do you also mean this?" Peacock King Yunfei glanced at the black-faced man. It was obvious that he was not satisfied with this.

"This is a countermeasure jointly discussed by Daoist Zhang and I, but since King Yunfei has arrived at the headquarters in person, of course we still follow your arrangements. I wonder what your instructions are?" the black-faced man replied immediately.

Within the Mubei Allied Forces, the demon race and the human race were divided into two camps, both of which had a tendency to stick together.

The demon clan has the upper hand in terms of strength and numbers, and there are also three demon kings, so they have more say, but sometimes they have to compromise with the interests of the human monks.

The original eight Mahayana monks in Qingzhou were left in the ratio of four demons and four humans.

When there are differences of opinion, as a monster, he naturally leans towards Maurya.

"Although the Qingzhou Allied Forces are powerful, the vanguard team they attack in Pingyuan County does not have an overwhelming advantage. What they are worried about is that if their attack fails, they will ask for support from the rear army. When the Qingzhou Allied Forces swarm forward, it will be difficult for us to deal with them. Therefore, we must seize the opportunity to severely damage the vanguard while their rear support is still pending, so that we can defend the three counties of Qingzhou."

"What do you mean? Find them for a decisive battle as soon as possible?"

The pale-faced man frowned and said, "Fellow Daoist Yunfei, with all due respect, the enemy has four legions, and our combined strength is less than two legions. There is a huge disparity in strength. If we go head-to-head, I'm afraid it will be an egg against a stone."

Yun Fei said coldly: "Although the Qingzhou coalition forces are large in number, they are just a mob. The key is the four Mahayana monks. As long as they are captured, the rest of them will be no different from ants."

"There are currently sixteen Mahayana monks in the Qingzhou coalition. If we can severely damage the four Mahayana monks who entered Pingyuan County first, the Qingzhou coalition will be in chaos. This is our only chance to defend Pingyuan County."

The pale-faced man said worriedly: "Isn't this too risky? There are four Mahayana monks on the other side, all of whom are not easy to deal with. The leader, Tang Ning, is a rare genius in ancient and modern times. It is said that he killed Bingfeng in the middle stage of Mahayana in Liangzhou in adversity. Aotian, the blood descendant of the royal family, once broke through to the middle stage of Mahayana, and fought with a mysterious late stage Mahayana monk in Qingzhou without losing. It might not be that easy for the three of us to deal with them." Yun Fei snorted. He said, "Tang Ning is just a brat with a false reputation. What I'm worried about is that he doesn't dare to challenge me. If he dares to compete with me face to face, I will behead him. As for the others, there is no need to worry about it. If the time comes, Let's fight, you only need to hold down the two enemy Mahayana monks for me, and leave the rest to me."

The two people below looked at each other, and the dark-faced man said: "In this case, we can use the method of luring the enemy deep into the depths, first luring the Qingzhou coalition forces deep step by step, and after confirming the whereabouts of the Mahayana monks, we can Ambush the opponent by surprise."

"Yes. This is exactly what I want. Let's arrange it as you say!"

………

The sun is warm and the breeze is intoxicating.

On the deck of the Lezi ship, Tang Ning stood with her hands behind her hands and looked into the distance. As far as she could see, there was a green expanse of greenery.

There was no hidden figure within the field of vision, and Yan Jiuzheng did not know where he was hiding. Neither his consciousness nor his sight could find his presence.

This man's hidden magical power was extraordinary. When he ambushed him in Linzi County, he didn't notice it until he was close.

With his current spiritual power, if he exerts it with all his strength, he can cover a radius of thousands of miles, and the range that his eyes can focus on, even if there is no obstruction, cannot see too far.

Even his consciousness couldn't detect where Yan Jiuzheng was, let alone others.

In the distance, a ray of light shot out and landed in front of Tang Ning. A man appeared and saluted him: "Senior Tang, there is news from the Third Army that they have captured Zixu City as planned. We are currently heading towards Zhaoyang County.”

"Well, I understand. Tell them not to have any worries, stick to the original plan, and then take Zhaoyang County."

"Yes." The man responded and left.

Since the Qingzhou Allied Forces entered Pingyuan County, during this period, the First, Second, and Third Army Corps have advanced hand in hand. The battle has been very smooth, with almost no strong resistance. Now the Second Army Corps has advanced to Yulin County.

Tangning didn't even take action yet, and only sent half of his army to attack the city. As a result, Yulin County was captured within a few days, and the defenders inside only made a token resistance and fled.

The Second Army Corps has been stationed in Yulin County for several days now, and the First and Third Army Corps are also progressing smoothly. Both armies are about to attack the target city.

Tang Ning turned around and walked towards the cabin. When she returned to the room, she took out the Innate Treasure Gourd in her hand, and the green spiritual energy in her body continued to pour into it.

After two or three hours, he put away the treasure gourd and was about to close his eyes and take a rest when there was a knock on the door. After the stone door opened, Gao Yuan came in from the outside and bowed to him: "Uncle Master, Fourth Army Corps." We have entered the city. Senior Kong wants to see you."

"Invite him!"

Gao Yuan left in response, and not long after, Kong Rui arrived.

The two exchanged a few words before the host and guest took their seats.

"Fellow Daoist Tang, since we entered Pingyuan County, our journey has been unstoppable. The Fourth Army has conquered Yulin County in less than a year. Don't you think it's too fast?" Kong Rui said.

"This journey has indeed gone smoothly, but it is reasonable. There are three Mahayana monks in Pingyuan County, and they are all guarding the county. There are no Mahayana monks in Yulin County, so the enemy troops naturally have no intention of resisting and flee."

"The second legion was led by Daoyou Tang, Daoyou Feng, and Daoyou Zhu. It was understandable that they advanced without any hindrance. However, it is a little unusual that the first and third legions also attacked so smoothly. I just heard, The first and third armies have rushed to the foot of Funing and Zhaoyang counties."

"The Mubei Demons don't have enough troops stationed in Qingzhou. They don't have that many people to guard everywhere. I think they intend to defend Pingyuan County. This is not surprising. What is Brother Dao Kong worried about?"

"Isn't it strange, Fellow Taoist Tang? What a proud man the Peacock King is. He personally sits in Pingyuan County, but the defenders of Funing, Yulin and Chaoyang have no intention of fighting and almost run away after hearing the news. I suspect that these are enemy troops. They are deliberately paralyzing us and trying to lure us deeper.”

Tangning smiled: "Isn't this great? It saves a lot of time. Our goal is to fully recover the three counties of Qingzhou. If they don't resist now, isn't that what we want? Do we have to force the enemy to resist tenaciously? Is it normal for us to take these jurisdictions with heavy casualties? "

"That's not what I meant. I was worried that the enemy might have an ambush waiting for us. As you know, Fellow Daoist Tang, the 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th legions led by Daoyou Yang, Daoyou Ma, Daoyou Fan, and Daoyou Zhou entered Beihai. We encountered very strong resistance, suffered many casualties, and advanced very slowly.”

"Like our headquarters, they attacked in three directions, but it didn't go smoothly. I heard that they haven't been able to advance to the halfway point so far, and we are close to taking three counties."

Tang Ning smiled slightly: "Fellow Daoist Kong, I know what you are worried about. Don't worry, even if the enemy has some tricks, I will not be afraid. If the Mauryan King wants to fight, I will compete with him. If you want to To regain the three counties of Qingzhou, we must fight this battle sooner or later."

"He wants to lure the enemy deeper, and I also want to capture Pingyuan County as soon as possible. If we don't take this opportunity to regain the three counties of Qingzhou, and wait until Mubei resolves the demon invasion, I may not have another chance."

"I have received information that there are four enemy Mahayana monks in Beihai County. In other words, there are only those three Mahayana monks stationed in Pingyuan County. In this case, there is no need to worry."

"To be honest with you, I wish the Maurya King would come to surprise the main camp tonight."

Kong Rui saw that his eyes were full of confidence: "Does Fellow Taoist Tang really have a chance to win? That is the Peacock King, one of the three demon kings in Mubei."

"How will you know if you don't try?"

"Since fellow Taoist Tang is confident, I won't say anything more."

The two talked for a while, then Kong Rui got up and left.

…

A month later, good news came from both the First Army and the Third Army. The two units had captured Fulin County and Zhaoyang County.

In the majestic hall, everyone gathered together. In addition to Tang Ning, Kong Rui, Zhu Zhiqing, and Feng Yuliang, the four regiment commanders and inspectors were all present.

"Thanks to your efforts, we have completed the first phase goal and captured the three counties of Pingyuan County. Now I announce the next phase goal. The first army army will attack Miting County, the second army army will attack Chengxuan County, and the third army army will attack Jiang Yue County eventually formed a three-way flank on Donglai County."

"Although you have worked hard all the way, you still have to continue marching. As the saying goes, troops are very fast, and each unit must not stop. All personnel must set off with the team, and progress must be reported in a timely manner along the way..."

Tang Ning explained the next phase of the task, and also said some high-sounding words to boost morale. The discussion continued for an hour, and everyone took the order and left.
