Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Tang Ning saw Fan Yun fleeing away, but did not pursue him. He needed someone to go back and deliver the message, asking someone to take action, otherwise the whole scene would be in vain.

Xu Ziming fell straight to the ground, and the dark gold bones on his body dissipated and returned to his original appearance. However, he saw a fist-sized penetrating wound between his chest and abdomen, his eyes were scattered, but he was still breathing and was not dead.

Although Tang Ning had just punched him in the chest, it had avoided the vital parts of his heart, so he survived.

He stepped forward and clicked a few times on his body, and his spiritual power sealed the spring, spiritual sea, and Niwan Palace. With one move of his hand, he took the storage bag on his waist into his hand, and then wrapped his spiritual power around him to escape the light. Rise up and head toward the southeast.

The reason for keeping Xu Ziming alive.

The first is that he promised Zhang Huiyong to kill his enemies with his own hands.

Second, it is easier for a living person to lure Tie Hua Gu. After all, Xu Ziming is his first disciple and his right-hand assistant. If Tie Hua Gu knew that he was not dead, he would definitely come to rescue him. On the other hand, for a dead person, it might not take so much effort.

Third, if the plan fails and Tie Huagu sees through the plot, Xu Ziming can be exchanged for Zhang Huiyong’s life.

…………………………

On Ziqing Mountain, in front of the majestic cave, a ray of light shot down, and a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes appeared. It was Fan Yun. He walked into the cave, walked through several paths, and came to a room. , knocked on the stone door.

"Come in." An old and powerful voice came from inside.

Fan Yun pushed the door open and walked in. He knelt down to the old man with white hair and beard on the futon and said, "Disciple, pay homage to the master."

"What's going on in such a hurry?" Seeing his strange expression, the old man asked.

"Master, my senior brother was killed. My disciple was lucky enough to escape from the tiger's mouth. I came here to report to the master and ask him to avenge this great revenge for my senior brother."

The old man's eyes flashed, his body tilted slightly, and his whole demeanor suddenly changed. He was not angry or in danger. He stared at Fan Yun and said in a deep voice: "What did you say?"

"Senior brother was killed by a casual cultivator named Jia Yizhen."

"what happened?"

Fan Yun then recounted the whole story, starting from when the news about Yunzhi in the center of Wu Xiankou came out: "After the thief appeared again in Mulanshanfang City, my senior brother invited me to go to Mulanshanfang City to find out what happened. We found Duan Yuan, the person in charge of Fang City, checked the records of people entering and exiting the management office on that day, and sent a large number of people to find these people and find out clues about this thief."

"In the end, we found seventeen monks who came in and out of Fang City that day. Four of them actually met this person on the way. We gradually narrowed down the scope and investigated them one by one based on the meeting places described by these four people."

"In the end, the scope was narrowed to within one or two hundred miles east of Lianyuan County."

"I originally wanted to tell the master, but the senior brother said that he didn't know how capable the other party was, just a casual cultivator, and there was no need to bother the master with trivial matters. So my senior brother and I went to investigate here and saw a small house in the forest, which was indeed the residence of the thief. "

"The two of us fought with the thief and had the upper hand from the beginning. My senior brother severely injured him. The thief fled for his life, and the two of us chased him."

"I am not as good as my senior brother. I am one step behind. I saw the two of them heading towards the jungle below. But when I arrived, my senior brother was punched through the chest by him and he fell down."

"I didn't expect him to be his opponent, so I hurried back to report to the master. The thief didn't chase him. I don't know if it was because he was seriously injured or for other reasons."

After hearing this, the old man remained silent for a while and said, "This Jia Yizhen, have you heard of him before?"

"No, my disciple asked many people about this person's identity, but they all knew nothing about him."

The old man said: "I can count the number of late-stage foundation-building monks in the Wu Kingdom on two hands. Even in the entire Xingang, the number of late-stage foundation-building monks among casual cultivators will never exceed three digits. This Jia seems to have come out of nowhere." ”

Fan Yun said: "We have been asking for information about him for nearly a month, but we haven't found any clues. Master, this thief was seriously injured and he probably won't be able to go far. You must avenge your senior brother!"

The old man glanced at him and shouted: "Here comes someone."

As soon as he finished speaking, a man from outside pushed the door in and bowed: "Uncle, what are your orders?"

"Go to the storage pavilion and see how Ziming's soul stone is doing now."

"Yes." The man responded and left.

"I have told you a long time ago, don't underestimate anyone. Ziming thinks that his skills are mysterious, and he is always arrogant. He doesn't know that there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world. He has lost his life in vain. If you can be more cautious and look for more With so many people, how can we lose our lives?" the old man said.

Fan Yun replied: "The situation was urgent at that time. After we determined his location, we were worried that he would notice that he had gone away and the opportunity would be fleeting, so we were slightly under-prepared. If we had known that this person was so powerful, we would have gathered more people. We made adequate preparations, but unfortunately we failed to do so, and our senior brother lost his life as a result.”

"You are afraid that others will steal Yunzhi after knowing it!" The old man said nothing and sighed slightly.

About a stick of incense later, footsteps sounded outside, the stone door opened, and a man came in from the outside, bowed and said, "Disciple just went to check Senior Brother Xu's Soul Stone, and its light has not been extinguished."

"Oh?" The old man was surprised and looked at Fan Yun.

Fan Yun was also shocked: "I clearly saw him punching my senior brother through the chest and abdomen. How is this possible? He didn't kill my senior brother, so he might want to question our identities. Master, maybe it's still too late to catch up now, He himself was seriously injured, and if he had taken someone with him, he would not have been able to go very far, and he would be able to find out if he did so."

The old man pondered for a while, then stood up and said, "Let's go! Go and see the place where you guys fought."

The two of them left the cave, and the old man carried him out of the Ziqing Mountain with his body. After walking for several hours, they came to a barren mountain in the east of Lianyuan County.

Fan Yun pointed downward and said, "Master, that's where the traitor ended up. It was here that my senior brother and I fought him, chasing him all the way south for more than ten miles."

He had just finished speaking, but when he saw the old man's expression suddenly change, Fan Yun wondered what was going on. Just as he was about to ask, a golden light rose up from the mountains and forests in the southeast and came at an extremely fast speed. Within a few breaths, he was Here we are.

There was a loud rumble, as if the earth was shaking and the mountains were shaking. Birds fluttered their wings under the forest and leaves rustled down.

Tangning's golden fist struck a boney palm, and the old man stretched out a palm.

A huge skeletal hand appeared in mid-air, blocking Tangning's attack with ease.

After Tang Ning captured Xu Ziming, he actually did not go far away, but returned to the place where he was, waiting for Tie Huagu to arrive. Things went as he expected. After Fan Yun returned to Ziqing Mountain, he stated the matter to Tie Huagu, and Tie Huagu was there. After learning that Xu Ziming was not dead, he came to investigate in person.

"It's you." Fan Yun was horrified and his pupils shrank suddenly. The person in front of him was none other than the man with the birthmark between his eyebrows. But at this moment, he was already exuding the spiritual pressure of a Golden Core cultivator.

Everything was a trap, he suddenly realized, and the hairs on his body stood up.

Tiehuagu looked at the man in front of him and said expressionlessly: "It turns out that you have put so much effort into the design just to wait for me. Who are you? Can you tell me?"

Tang Ning looked at the old man with white hair and beard who was close at hand, but she felt neither joy nor anger in her heart.

This was strange. He had imagined many times before that when he saw the murderer of his family, he would be furious and his eyes would burst.

But when the two met face to face, there was no anger or hatred in his heart, as if he was just completing the assassination mission assigned by the sect.

He didn't know why this happened. Maybe revenge had already become an obsession in his heart instead of hatred, or maybe he had gradually forgotten the worldly feelings.

Tangning waved her hand and pulled off the phantom veil, revealing her true face.

The phantom veil and the shadowless cloak are third-level spiritual weapons. Under the prying eyes of the golden elixir monks, they are as if they are nothing. Therefore, it is meaningless to rely on them to disguise themselves. The reason why Tiehuagu asks this question must be because he does not recognize himself. .

"Tang Ning." Tang Ning didn't hide anything and directly reported her name. If she could avenge her, it would be fair and honest. If she couldn't avenge him, Tie Hua Gu would know his identity after checking back, so there was no need to hide it.

Tie Huagu said calmly: "It turns out to be Taoist Taoist Tang from the Qianyi Sect. I heard his name a long time ago. When I saw him today, he was indeed a talented person from this generation."

"It's just that I don't understand something. Although you and I belong to the two camps of Xuan Mo, there is no direct conflict of interest between the Blood Bone Sect and Qian Yi Sect. My fellow Taoist spent so much effort to lure me here. It must not be the official business of your sect. !”

"And I don't remember ever offending fellow Taoist. What is your purpose? Can you tell me?"

"Yes, I'm looking for you because of a personal grudge. In the 629th year of Daoding, you went to South China of Chu State and massacred the residents of Tangliu Village. At that time, you were only a mid-stage foundation-building monk. There were two foundation-building monks accompanying you. Your junior brother, you had a fight with a passing disciple of our sect, you must have remembered this, right?" Tang Ning did not hide it.

This is the first time he has fought against a Golden Core monk after he was promoted to the Golden Core. The outcome is unknown, and life or death is uncertain. Naturally, there is nothing to hide: "You traveled thousands of miles from the Kingdom of Wu to the Kingdom of Chu, and brought two junior brothers with you to slaughter a small child. Village, what’s the purpose?”

"Tang Ning." The old man muttered: "So you are a survivor of Tangliu Village. I didn't expect that a person like you could exist in a small village. It seems that we have to eradicate the roots to do things! But I remember that everyone in the village was Just kill them all. How did you survive? Or is there a strange treasure hidden in your body?"

"you have not answer my question yet."

"Will the fight stop if you answer it?"

"cannot."

"Then why should I answer?"
