Chronicles of Celestial Origins

The sun was shining brightly, and the sky was clear.

In the spacious and bright hall of Yuelin City in Beihai County, the four Mahayana monks of the coalition gathered together, and the commanders and supervisors of each army were also seated.

Yang Yanlin sat in the main seat, talking nonstop.

"Thanks to your concerted efforts, our headquarters finally took over Xiguang County. The next step is to attack Tianlan County, which is a tough nut to crack. It is reported that most of the main forces of Beihai County are concentrated here."

"I think the Fifth and Sixth Corps will march from Jianyuan City, the Seventh Corps will march from Huaxuan Pavilion, and the Eighth Corps will march from Fengqian City. The three routes will advance in parallel and finally meet under Tianlan County."

"According to intelligence, Tianlan County has... in Jianyuan City..."

While he was talking, a man from outside strode in, bowed and said, "Uncle Yang, Senior Kong Rui just came to our headquarters and said he wanted to see you immediately. He is waiting outside."

Yang Yanlin heard this, his face remained calm, but he was thinking in his heart. Kong Rui was not in Pingyuan County, and suddenly ran here, which made him feel a little worried.

Could it be that the coalition forces attacking Pingyuan County were defeated? A few days ago, he received relevant intelligence and learned that the First, Second, Third, and Fourth Corps attacking Pingyuan County made rapid progress, attacking cities and strongholds, and even captured three counties in just half a year.

This is obviously not normal. With Peacock King in charge of Pingyuan County, how could they be defeated so quickly? It was obviously to lure them in.

If the news of Pingyuan County's defeat spread, it would undoubtedly be a huge blow to the coalition forces attacking Beihai County. He wanted to order his disciples to take Kong Rui to other places and then meet him privately.

But at this moment, everyone's eyes were looking at him, and everyone had different expressions. They were obviously wondering what happened in Pingyuan County.

"Please ask fellow Daoist Kong to come." Yang Yanlin sat upright, without any fluctuations in his tone. In front of so many people, he couldn't secretly pull Kong Rui to a secluded place for a private talk. Besides, no matter what the news was, it had to be faced.

"Yes." The man responded and left. Not long after, Kong Rui came in from outside and walked into the hall.

Before he could speak, Ma Yuanming asked impatiently: "Fellow Daoist Kong, why are you here? Is there something wrong in Pingyuan County?"

Everyone's eyes were focused on Kong Rui, and the hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Kong Rui smiled slightly: "Yes, Pingyuan County has been recovered by our headquarters. Fellow Daoist Tang killed the Peacock King, and the Mubei coalition forces in Pingyuan County were defeated, with countless casualties."

When these words came out, the expressions of the people in the hall were very interesting. Yang Yanlin's eyes condensed, his body unconsciously leaned forward, and his pupils dilated slightly.

Ma Yuanming opened his mouth, as if frozen, and stared.

The fat on Zhou Buqun's face trembled twice, and then he returned to a smiling look.

Fan Shize's face was full of shock.

The other legion commanders and inspectors present all changed their faces, and even the sound of sucking in cold air could be heard.

Everyone was shocked and didn't speak for a while.

After a few breaths of silence, Zhou Buqun laughed and said, "You are worthy of being Junior Brother Tang. You said that you would take the head of the Peacock King and hang it under the city tower of Donglai County. Now your words have come true and you have really killed the Peacock King."

"Good." Fan Shize's shocked expression turned into ecstasy: "Once the Peacock King is dead, the Mubei demons will be leaderless and their morale will be in chaos. It will be just a matter of time to recover the three counties of Qingzhou."

Yang Yanlin said in a deep voice: "Good, good, good. I didn't expect Junior Brother Tang to really kill the Peacock King. Now the Mubei demons will not dare to resist anymore."

Ma Yuanming also showed a happy expression: "Friend Kong Dao, what exactly happened, please tell me in detail."

Kong Rui smiled and said: "At that time, I led the The four legions followed behind, ready to support the second legion in front of the city at any time, and did not see how Fellow Daoist Tang killed the Peacock King. When they heard the report from the frontline disciples and rushed to Chengxuan County, they saw the body of the Peacock King placed on the Leizi ship led by Fellow Daoist Tang. "Later, I asked around and roughly knew the whole story. At that time, Fellow Daoist Tang, Fellow Daoist Zhu, and Fellow Daoist Feng led the second legion to attack Chengxuan County. The Peacock King and two other Mahayana monks, Zhang Yu and Ling Che of the Mubei coalition army ambushed there and led a part of the elite to attack Fellow Daoist Tang and others. So the two sides fought in a group. ""Fellow Daoist Tang fought against the Peacock King alone and killed him. , and helped Zhu Daoyou to kill Lingche, a black wolf tribe Mahayana monster who was fighting against him. ”

“Of the three Mahayana cultivators in Pingyuan County, Daoyou Tang killed two, and only the secret cultivator Zong Zhangyu who was fighting against Daoyou Feng saw that the opportunity was not right and fled.”

“Magnificent!” Ma Yuanming clapped his hands and praised: “Daoyou Tang is worthy of being a genius in the world. Just based on this battle, he is enough to be named the number one person in the world today. With Daoyou Tang in charge of Qingzhou in the future, how dare the demons in Mubei look at each other.”

Yang Yanlin said: “Daoyou Kong, so your troops have already taken Pingyuan County. I wonder what the next plan is?”

“Daoyou Tang decided to split his troops into two groups to recapture the three counties of Qingzhou in one fell swoop. He has asked Daoyou Feng and Zhu Daoyou to go to Qingzhou to fight. Daoyou led the first and third legions to the north to take Donglai County. He himself led the second and fourth legions to Beihai County, and will join forces with several Daoyou to attack the Beihai County Mubei demon. He asked me to come here first to inform you Daoyou to cooperate in the attack on Beihai. "

"Great." As soon as the voice fell, Ma Yuanming immediately said: "Daoyou Tang personally led the troops to come, how dare the Mubei demons stationed in Beihai resist stubbornly and fight like trapped beasts. They must flee at the sight of the wind!"

Fan Shize also echoed: "With Daoyou Tang's reputation, the Mubei demons will know about this and will collapse without a fight. Beihai County is within our grasp."

Yang Yanlin nodded with a smile, but he felt unspeakable in his heart.

Tang Ning and he were both middle-stage Mahayana monks of Taixuan Sect, and were even one level below him.

He is the manager of Qingwu Camp, and Tang Ning was formerly the official manager of Qingwu Camp.

Now they each lead their own troops, one taking the plains and the other taking the North Sea.

Tang Ning not only advanced with great success, taking Pingyuan County with overwhelming force, but also killed the Peacock King and was about to invade Donglai County.

And he still stayed in Beihai County, taking only one county, and even needed its help to win Beihai.

This made him feel jealous in his heart. Tang Ning acted in such a high-profile manner and sent Kong Rui here. It was said to be a discussion, but in fact it was just like an order, which made him even more unhappy.

But now, Tang Ning's reputation and power are so high that no one can match her.

From Kong Rui's words, it is obvious that both Zhu Zhiqing and Feng Yuliang are almost convinced by him, not to mention that taking Beihai County is a major matter involving the interests of many families.

Even if he was unhappy, he couldn't show it, let alone sing the opposite tune at this moment.

Everyone was immersed in the joy of regaining the three counties of Qingzhou, talking and laughing, the whole hall was full of joy, and Yang Yanlin could only echo.

………

In Beihai County, the sun is shining brightly and the breeze is intoxicating.

However, in the majestic hall, Mubei's only five remaining Mahayana monks lived together, and the atmosphere was extremely solemn and solemn.

"The news is absolutely true. Not only did Tang Ning kill fellow Taoist Yunfei, but fellow Taoist Lingche was also beheaded by him. The most troublesome thing is that Tang Ning personally led his troops to Beihai County and wanted to kill us all. And Qingzhou Zhu Zhiqing and Feng Yuliang of the coalition forces are marching into Donglai County with some troops and are cutting off our retreat," the old man named Wu with white hair and beard said with a gloomy expression.

The pale-faced man answered: "Fellow Taoists, we don't have so much time to think about it. We must make a decision. If it's too late, even if we abandon Qingzhou, we may not be able to leave even if we want to."

"There is nothing to think about. At this point, there is nothing we can do to save the day. Staying and sitting in the battle between trapped beasts is a recipe for death. If you keep the green hills, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood. At the beginning, I suggested fellow Taoist Yun Fei to abandon Qingzhou, but it's a pity that he He was self-willed, arrogant, refused to listen to opinions, and ultimately lost his life. "

"We may not be able to deal with Tangning alone. Not to mention there are so many Mahayana monks. If you stay, it will be a dead end."

"Then let's go! Go directly back to Mubei."

A few words and a few words quickly reached a consensus.

…

Qingzhou, Jinan County, Nether Sea Organization Branch, in a dark room, Xu Wenruo pushed the door open and bowed to the old man: "Mr. Ren, are you looking for me?"

"This is the latest information from the Qingzhou front line. Take a look!" The old man took out a file and handed it to him.

Xu Wenruo took it and unfolded it, his eyes suddenly condensed.

"You don't seem surprised." The old man looked at him.

Xu Wenruo put down the file: "To be honest, I had expected it. I know Tangning. He is a very cautious person. Since he dared to say in public at the Qingzhou Allied Forces Conference Hall that he wanted to take the head of the Peacock King, he must be very confident. Yes. He was able to kill the Ice Phoenix Tribe's Aotian in the early Mahayana period, and he was able to break through to the middle stage of the Mahayana in just four hundred years. What's so strange about killing the Peacock King now?"

"That's right." The old man nodded and said: "As soon as this news spreads, his prestige in Qingzhou will be at its peak. We have to be more careful in our investigation. If we let him know, the consequences will be disastrous! Is there any progress on your side? ?”

"Still not found."

"Then take it easy! Don't check anymore."

"Why?"

"With his current strength and prestige, even if he finds a breakthrough with the merchants and the Kong family, and finds out that he is a member of the mysterious organization, what can be done to him? Not only did he not endanger Qingzhou's security, but he is about to regain the three counties of Qingzhou. All forces in Qingzhou have to rely on him to fight against Mubei's future threats. At this point, there is no point in continuing to investigate. If he is discovered, we will be in trouble. But it’s passive.”

"But we have already checked here, so it would be a pity to give up now."

"This is an order from headquarters."

"Did the headquarters know about his killing of the Peacock King so soon?"

"I don't know, but I have predicted this step. Earlier, the headquarters sent a secret order. If there is no progress in our investigation and he has made great contributions in the battle to regain Qingzhou, let us stop the investigation immediately."

"I see."
