Chronicles of Celestial Origins

"Go to the Xushu Mountains to assassinate Zhang Zifeng?" Tang Ning was shocked, her face changed, she couldn't believe what Tong Quan'an said just now, so she repeated it unconsciously.

Although he had already guessed that this task would be very difficult and was mentally prepared, he still couldn't believe what he said.

Are you kidding? Where is Xushu Mountain? It is the home base of the Demon Sect. If you go deep into its base camp to assassinate its disciples, let alone a mere foundation-building monk, even if Wei Xuande goes there in person, you will never come back!

Doesn't this push people into a pit of fire? There is absolutely no way to survive!

Tong Quan'an looked at his appearance and smiled slightly: "Don't worry, just listen to what I have to say."

"Yes." After Tangning lost her composure in shock at first, she realized that it was impossible for the sect to entrust this task to her. It was not because she cherished herself as a foundation-building monk, but more importantly, this was an impossible task.

Tong Quan'an said: "The leader of the Demon Sect's inspection team this time is Qiu Jian, the elder of the Youmei Sect, but in fact, Zhang Zifeng is solely responsible for all affairs. At present, he has grasped some clues. If he follows the clues and investigates, it is very likely that Involve our insider."

"This man is cruel and cunning. Ever since he took charge of the Supervision Team, he has never stepped out of Xushu Mountain for fear of being secretly poisoned by others. Therefore, I need you to sneak into Qinchuan quietly, find a way to lure him out of Xushu Mountains, and then assassinate him. My insiders will assist you."

Tangning frowned. Regardless of whether this was a trap or not, even if it wasn't a trap, it would not be easy for him to lure him out of the Xushu Mountains. Now that Qinchuan and Longyou were occupied by the Demon Sect, their spies were everywhere.

If you want to lure him out of Xushu Mountain, you must make some plans, which will inevitably lead to contact with the local monks.

I am a late-stage foundation-building monk. Although he is not a rare species, he is not a bastard in the river. He is everywhere.

When a strange late-stage foundation-building monk arrives in Qinchuan, he will definitely attract the attention of the monks from the Demon Sect who are responsible for this. In addition, he has stayed in Qinchuan for a period of time and has met with various local families.

It only takes a little research to find out who you are.

Tong Quan'an saw his worried look: "If you have any concerns, just raise them and the sect that can solve them will try their best to solve them for you."

Tang Ning said: "My disciple once stayed in Qinchuan for a period of time due to sect missions. Many people in the local area know my identity, which may not be conducive to concealment."

"I know about this. You once went to Qinchuan to seek evidence of the Dou family's crimes, and you even briefly served as the chief officer for a period of time. Even without these, you, a strange monk with a late-stage foundation establishment, arrived at the jurisdiction of the Demon Sect. , and it’s easy to be targeted by them.”

"We have already thought of this, don't worry, I have a way to hide your identity for you." Tong Quan'an said, turning his left hand, taking out a thin, almost transparent veil and handing it to Tang Ning: "You will If you stick this thing on your face, it can change your appearance.”

Tang Ning took the veil and felt it was as smooth as jade. When his fingertips touched it, the veil rippled like water. He followed the instructions and placed it on his face, tightly fitting with his own features. In an instant, it transformed into another unfamiliar face.

Tang Ning took out the bronze mirror and took a look, but she saw that the person in the mirror had a straight nose and deep eyes. There was no shadow of her original self. She seemed to have become a different person.

After the monks transformed from mortal life and were cleansed by spiritual power, their eyesight was extraordinary. General disguises, whether it is a disguise or a human skin mask, can be seen through at a glance.

But after the veil was put on, there was no trace. Tang Ning observed for a long time and injected spiritual power into his eyes, but he could not find any flaws. However, he did not feel anything. It was really strange.

Tong Quan'an said: "It is impossible for people below the Golden Core cultivator to see through the disguise of the veil."

Tang Ning put away the bronze mirror and asked in surprise, "Uncle Master, what is this? It's so magical."

"The main material of this phantom veil is taken from the seven phantom insects of the monster. It is a third-level spiritual weapon. When worn, it can change the appearance. Unless the golden elixir monk's spiritual consciousness is used to spy, it is impossible to detect flaws under the golden elixir. You wear it After putting on the veil, you only need to be careful with the golden elixir monk. This veil can change into three faces. You only need to tap on it to get another face.

A third-level spiritual weapon is on the same level as the Sky-breaking Crossbow and Orange Armor. No wonder it is so magical.

"Besides this, there is one more thing for you." Tong Quan'an said, flipping his left hand, taking out a dark green cloak and handing it to him.

"This item is called the Shadowless Cloak. The main material is taken from colorless stone and shadow liquid. It is also a third-level spiritual weapon. It can hide the fluctuations of spiritual power emitted by one's own breath and body, and no one below the Golden Core cultivator can detect it. With these two I believe it can help you lurk in Qinchuan."

Tangning took the dark green cloak and felt a chill as her fingertips touched it and passed through the cloak without any hindrance.

This object seems to be solid, but in fact it is liquid, just like a pool of lake water that has turned into the form of clothing. Only the two corners of the cloak were solid and felt neither stone nor wood. I didn’t know what kind of material it was.

Tang Ning held the two corners of the cloak in her hands and put it on her body. As expected, she felt that the fluctuations in her spiritual power suddenly weakened, all the way down to the fluctuation range of the ninth level of Qi Refining.

Tang Ning was amazed and felt deeply that the world was so big and filled with wonders, and what she saw was not even the tip of the iceberg.

"In addition, we will give you another thing to help you complete your mission better." Tong Quan'an turned over and pulled out an antique wooden box about one foot in size.

Tang Ning took the female box in her hand and pushed open the lid. She saw a golden talisman placed inside. On the talisman was a black long knife. The knife seemed to be embedded in the talisman and became one with it. .

"Fu Bao." He blurted out with a happy face.

This object is a well-known talisman in the cultivation world. It is a talisman that combines part of the power of the magic weapon. Once it is used, it can exert part of the power of the magic weapon.

Tong Quan'an nodded slightly: "You have performed well over the years and have made many meritorious deeds. Since you were transferred to the camp, you have also completed several tasks assigned by the sect very well. This is an extra reward for you, and it will help you complete it. In this mission, the power of this talisman is only 23/10 of its original magic weapon. With your current cultivation level, if you can destroy it with all your strength, it will not be a problem to deal with ordinary monks in the late stage of foundation building.

The implication is that the talisman is a gift from the sect. Whether he uses it or not, whether he completes the task or not, it belongs to him personally.

However, the Phantom Veil and Shadowless Cloak must be returned to the sect after the mission is completed.

"Thank you, uncle." Tang Ning said. It was an unexpected blessing to be rewarded with a talisman. He did not dare to expect that all three treasures would be his own.

Especially the other two pieces, which are both level three spiritual weapons, are expensive.

"Is there any other inconvenience that you need us to solve for you?"

"No need, thank you, uncle." For this mission, the sect paid a lot of attention to him. Not only did he reward him with a talisman, but also two third-level spiritual weapons, just in case this was a trap, or He failed in his mission, and the sect's hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones were thrown into the sea.

It can also be seen from this that the level of craftsmanship lurking in the Demon Sect is so high that it is worthy for the sect to spend a lot of money to rescue him. It is impossible for ordinary people to have this kind of treatment.

Tong Quan'an nodded slightly: "Both the headmaster and I are convinced of your ability, so we entrusted this matter to you. Let's talk about this mission first! The person who is assisting you is named Xiao Huishao, and he is also the one you want to protect in this mission. The target person. He is the disciple of Hu Xufan, the elder of the Corpse Puppet Sect, and is deeply trusted by him. He was instigated by us in his early years and has always provided us with information and clues. "

Of course, we also spent a lot on him. Hu Xufan is one of the only two remaining Jindan elders of the Corpse Puppet Sect. Although the Corpse Puppet Sect was annexed by the Youmei Sect, he still has great influence within the Demon Sect. Only his orders are followed.

"Hu Xufan himself rarely manages secular affairs, so all matters fall into the hands of Xiao Huishao. In other words, he is the actual helmsman of the Corpse Puppet Sect's affairs. He is currently the highest-ranking person we have placed within the Demon Sect. Careful work, and he may have the potential to hit Jindan in the future. This person is very important to us, you understand!"

Tang Ning nodded, and her worries increased. Since this person held an important position within the Corpse Puppet Sect, he would not be willing to be just a pawn of the Qian Yizong. Moreover, he was a person who was instigated to rebel. Even his master If you can betray him, then turn your back on the Yizong, why is it so surprising? If it were really a trap, you would almost die if you jumped in it.

"What exactly caused this incident? What step did the monks of the Demon Sect Supervision Team find out? What information did they get?" Tang Ning asked

Tong Quan'an said: "I don't know the specific situation very well. I only know that there is a problem with the communication channel. Xuan Ying, who is responsible for delivering the news, was discovered by the Demon Sect. You need to verify other details with him in person."

"On September 27, he sent a message through a backup secret communication channel, saying that the supervisory team had found Xuanying who sent the message, investigated his clues, and needed our support to solve his trouble."

"On September 30th, the news reached the sect."

"On October 2nd, the headmaster discussed this matter with me and decided to send you to Qinchuan to assist him in handling this matter."

"On October 3, we responded to the message through secret channels and made an appointment with him to meet at a City God's Temple a hundred miles east of Jinping County on October 8. The secret code for the meeting was, he wears a cow-head mask, you Wear a horse mask.”

Don’t even know what happened? Tang Ning felt even worse, and felt that there was a high possibility that this matter was a trap.

After hesitating for a while, he frowned and said, "Disciple is worried, is this Xiao Huishao already under control? Or, he secretly turned against the enemy and colluded with Youmei Sect. The whole thing is a trap. Just wait. Let's take the bait."

Tong Quan'an said: "Of course we have considered this. According to the intelligence information provided by other insiders, the supervision team should not have found him yet, and may only have some minor clues."

"As for his betrayal and collusion with the Youmei Sect, it is not very likely. We have important information about him. Once it is announced, he will die without a burial place. I don't think he has the courage."

"Unless he can kill all the insiders, including me and the head brother."
