Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Dark clouds covered the sun and heavy rain poured down. Above Jinan County, a group of people were looking forward to it. The leader of the group, the old man, looked haggard.

In the distance, a ray of light shot out, and a man appeared, bowing to the old man and saluting: "Captain, the coalition warship has arrived, less than 100,000 miles away. Senior Tang is personally leading the team. ”

The old man nodded and said: "Fellow Taoist Tang is here with most of his troops, so there is no need for you to worry. Fellow Taoist Deng, fellow Taoist Ren, let's go together to welcome the fellow Taoists who are coming from the coalition forces!"

"Okay." The two people beside him responded.

The three people flashed and left the city.

On the deck of the Lezi ship, Tang Ning and other high-ranking officials from the coalition forces stood on the bow of the ship and saluted the three people coming towards them.

"Fellow Taoist Tang, it's been a long time." The leader, an old man with a withered appearance and a mid-level Mahayana cultivation, was Lu Zhiyuan, the headmaster of Shangyuan Sect in Jinan County.

The two people beside him are Deng Feng, the head of the Deng family in Jinan County, and Ren Yuanting, the director of the Nether Sea Organization in Qingzhou, both early Mahayana monks.

These three people did not take up positions in the Qingzhou Alliance Army, but due to the invasion of the demons, they each led a team to assemble the city to defend against the demons.

"I was ordered by Senior Brother Han from my headquarters to come to defend against the demons. Due to the urgent situation, I led the elite troops of my headquarters to go first. The large force is still behind. You are all old acquaintances, so I won't introduce you further."

Deng Feng smiled and said: "With fellow Taoist Tang in charge of Jinan County, we all have nothing to worry about!"

After a few words of greeting, they entered the city together and came to the meeting hall.

"Fellow Taoist Tang, please take a seat." Lu Zhiyuan waved his hand.

Tangning did not show any modesty, and went straight to the main seat above to sit down: "Three fellow Taoists, let's not talk nonsense. How is the situation in Tianxing County now? How much do you know?"

Lu Zhiyuan said: "The demon clan emerged from the secret realm of Xuanlin Sect. Now it has occupied the entire Tianxing County, and has spread to parts of Guyuan County in the east and Changhe County in the west. We have a small number of soldiers and are no match for us at all." We can't stop them. We can only hope that when the coalition forces arrive, we will fight them."

"How many troops did the demons dispatch this time, and how many Mahayana-level monsters were there?"

"As far as we know, the demon clan's influx into Tianxing County this time is probably no less than 200,000 to 300,000 troops, and at least three Mahayana level demons have been discovered."

"How many troops does Jinan County currently have?"

"We have organized all Xuanmen, aristocratic families, including members of the Chamber of Commerce and Netherworld Sea Organization, and can raise three legions."

"It will take a long time for the majority of the coalition forces to arrive. Now that we are here, we cannot sit back and watch the demons expand. First, we will send the three legions raised by Jinan County and establish layers of defenses on the outside. Formation, control them within a certain range to prevent their influence from spreading out, and wait for the majority to arrive, what do you think, three fellow Taoists?"

The three of them looked at each other, and Lu Zhiyuan said: "Since Fellow Taoist Tang is here, you will make the decision in everything. We have absolutely no objection."

Tang Ning said: "Since parts of Guyuan County and Changhe County have been occupied by demons, we have used Guyuan and Changhe as defensive fulcrums and deployed large formations outside them. We will use the formation to delay the large-scale expansion of the demons. ”

"Fellow Daoist Lu, you and Daoist Ren will lead a regiment to the west of Guyuan County."

"Daoyou Kong and Daoyou Zhu led a regiment to the east of Changhe County."

"Fellow Daoist Feng and Daoyou Jiang will lead a legion to station in Yuantian County."

………

The discussion lasted for most of the day, and the defense strategy was discussed. The next day, the three teams set off from the county town and headed for the counties.

Naturally, Tang Ning stayed behind in Jinan County. As the days passed, battle reports from Jinan County's front line came like snowflakes.

The demon clan's offensive is very strong. They are not satisfied with just occupying Tianxing County and are rapidly expanding their territory.

Even though the coalition forces have established defensive camps in the western part of Guyuan County and the eastern part of Changhe County, they have not been able to stop the expansion of the demon clan.

Unfavorable battle reports came from the front line every day. By the time most of the coalition troops arrived, the entire Guyuan County and Changhe County had been lost, and even Yuantian County in the south of Tianxing County had lost a lot of territory.

The only good news is that the layers of defense camps in several other counties have been completed, which is what Tangning and others have been busy working on.

When the demons were madly attacking Guyuan County and Changhe County, they were setting up defense formations in the rear. Most of the coalition forces that followed had been deployed in various counties and cities.

…

Guangling County, Zixing City, a demon army team is attacking the city walls.

The coalition's warships fired volleys of artillery shells and poured into the demon team. Huge air clouds rose up, and the space ripples vibrated layer by layer. Many rays of light in the demon team merged to form giant nets of different colors. Block the impact power of cannonballs.

The overwhelming demon clan, protected by giant nets, headed towards the coalition warship.

The cannonballs fired one after another, like rain, towards the swarming demons. Where the power of the cannonballs was superimposed, the space was slowly torn apart.

The giant net covering the heads of the demon vanguard team also showed signs of distortion, deformation and cracking. The monsters without the protection of the giant net were broken into pieces under the attack of the cannonballs.

After losing a small number of personnel, the demon vanguard force finally swarmed in front of the coalition forces and started a life-and-death fight with the coalition forces.

The fighting lasted for an hour or two, and the coalition forces blew the retreat horn and fled back.

The demons poured into the city and began to tear down various defensive positions. Each camp was guarded by a corresponding formation. To break the formation, you needed to enter the inner room in person. The demons did not yet understand the human formations, so they suffered a lot, and their advancement slowed down significantly.

……

In front of the huge green light curtain, groups of demons were ready. With an order, the demon army surrounded the entire formation and began to attack. Various magical skills covered the world, and various attacks rushed to the light curtain.

Although this attack method seemed clumsy and not clever enough, under the continuous attack, the outer defense light curtain of the formation could not hold on.

Just as the light curtain was twisted and deformed, a large coalition army suddenly rushed out from inside and killed the demons surrounded in the south.

After a melee, when the demon team surrounded them, the coalition army had already retreated back to the formation.

Just as the demon leader gave the order to continue the attack, a figure flashed from the back of the formation and appeared in front of everyone.

Sensing the powerful aura around this person, the demon leader's pupils shrank suddenly. Before he could react, rolling yellow fog had already covered the sky and enveloped his figure.

The person who suddenly appeared was Tang Ning.

He had not been ambushing here for a long time, but had come here specially from Jinan County.

Now the six corps of the coalition army had gathered in Jinan County, and defenses were ready in all counties and cities. When he received the news that a team of the demon army was attacking Zixing City, he came here from the county city.

Of course, the purpose was not to defend this small Zixing City, but to capture prisoners and learn the specific situation of the demon army.

At this moment, he fluttered his sleeves, and several leaders of this demon team were bound by his sleeves. The other demons knew they were no match and fled.

Tang Ning did not pay attention to these fleeing demons, and left here in a flash.

In the desolate valley, his escape light fell, and his sleeves shook, and billowing yellow smoke poured out from inside. Several demons were using their magical powers to break the yellow fog, and they didn't know that they had been transferred here.

When the yellow fog dissipated, several people saw Tang Ning standing in front of them.

"Answer my question."

Several people looked at each other, not knowing what to do, when suddenly a voice sounded in their minds.

Instantly, everyone's eyes widened, and they looked at the man with unfathomable cultivation in front of them with shock.

"Who are you?" The demon leader had two curly black horns, four arms, and the initial stage of fusion cultivation, with an incredible look.

"It doesn't matter who I am. Answer my questions, and I can consider letting you go. Which group are you from?"

Several people looked at each other, and no one answered for a while.

Tang Ning's figure flashed, and he came to a demon. He stretched out his hand and smashed the head of a refining demon. Blood splattered everywhere. Before several people could react, the demon fell softly.

The other demons unconsciously took two steps back, looking at him with horror.

"I don't want to repeat it again, answer my question." Tang Ning's eyes swept over several people, and several demons lowered their heads and dared not look at each other.

The demon with black horns in the lead immediately replied: "We belong to the Beihai clan, and I am from the Beihai Xuanya clan."

"How many races are there in the Beihai?"

"There are thirteen tribes in the Beihai."

"Have all the thirteen tribes in the Beihai come to the Tianyuan Realm? Are there other races?"

"No other tribes, only us."

"Is it the order issued by the Senate that asks you to jointly invade this world?"

Hearing this, several demons were even more surprised. They didn't expect that this Tianyuan human-like person in front of them knew them so well, and even knew the orders issued by the Senate.

"Yes, we are all acting under the orders of the Senate."

"How many Miaoling Realm masters have come to the Tianyuan Realm?"

"The thirteen tribes in the Beihai have gathered a total of 35 Miaoling Realm leaders to enter this world in batches, and twelve Miaoling Realm leaders have arrived so far."

Thirty-five Mahayana cultivators, Tang Ning was slightly shocked. He didn't expect that this demon invasion was more serious than he imagined, and Qingzhou alone could never resist it.

The entire Qingzhou combined is far from enough for thirty-five Mahayana monks.

"Who is leading the team? Are there any elders from the Senate participating?"

"Seven of the thirty-five leaders of the Wonderful Spirit Realm are members of the Senate, including an elder of the Senate."

"What is the origin of this elder from the Senate?"

"It is the former leader of the Earth Dragon Clan, named Pa Zexi. I haven't seen it with my own eyes. It is rumored that its strength has reached the True Spirit Realm."

Tang Ning's heart sank. The True Spirit Realm of the Demon Clan is the Tianyuan Realm Tribulation Stage, which is similar to his previous guess. The elders of the Demon Clan Elders' Hall are basically Tribulation Stage strongmen.

After asking many details and thoroughly understanding the organizational structure of the invading demon clan, Tang Ning stretched out his hand, and a black flare-like object gushed out of his body. In an instant, the world fell into darkness.

Several demons accelerated their rotation in the dark space, and they were shattered one by one.
