Chronicles of Celestial Origins

In Ziqing Mountain, in the Blood Bone Sect's meeting hall, several Jindan elders gathered together. Not long after, two figures came in from the outside. It is an urgent matter to discuss with everyone. This is Fan Yun, Iron Master’s disciple. Let him tell you the whole story first.”

Fan Yun stood up to His Highness and stated the whole story again.

Xun Wenxing said: "I just checked the Life Soul Stone in the Storage Pavilion and confirmed that Junior Brother Tie has been killed."

As soon as this person came out, the people below had different expressions, and they all frowned slightly.

Xun Wenxing continued: "It can be concluded that Zhang Huiyong, a disciple of our sect, is a spy who was infiltrated by Xuanmen. He has now defected. I have ordered an all-out search to arrest him, and several other insiders are also under interrogation."

"Junior brothers, this matter deserves vigilance! A mere qi refining disciple is not much stronger than an ant. Just because he was a trick sent by Xuanmen, he took advantage of the situation and damaged a golden elixir elder of our sect. This cost It’s too big.”

One or two gray-haired men below asked: "Can you be sure that it was a monk from the Qianyi Sect who did it?"

Fan Yun replied: "My disciple has seen with his own eyes that it is indeed Tang Ning of the Qian Yizong. I don't know what method he used to change his appearance. After the master saw through it at a glance, he tore off the disguise."

The man frowned and said, "Is he the only one?"

Fan Yun replied: "The disciple saw him alone, and no one else appeared. After the master fought with him, the disciple hurried back to ask for help."

The man was silent, and the old man with white beard and hair next to him said: "I have always known what Senior Brother Tie is capable of. I think he was an outstanding disciple of our sect back then, and the mystery of his skills was almost unparalleled by anyone in this sect. After successfully breaking through the Golden Core, and after so many years of immersion, how could a young boy like Tang Ning, who had only been promoted to the Golden Core for less than thirty years, kill Senior Brother Tie?"

"Even if Senior Brother Tie is defeated, it is not difficult to leave. Could it be that this boy is so powerful? Can he kill Senior Brother Tie by himself? I don't believe it, Master. I'm afraid there is another mystery to this matter."

"How could he, Tang Ning, be so bold? Traveling thousands of miles alone to come to our sect's jurisdiction to assassinate our sect's golden elixir monks? Even though he is extremely brave, what is his purpose for doing this?"

"Although my sect and the Qian Yizong have fought several times, there is no need to take such a big risk just to assassinate a golden elixir monk. This matter is so unreasonable. I think there must be an ulterior motive."

Xun Wenxing said: "Junior Brother Yuan's words coincide with mine. I also feel that there may be another mystery to this matter, so I invite all the junior brothers to discuss it. I suspect that Junior Brother Tie may be just a bait, and their real purpose is to Lead the high-level monks of our sect out of Ziqing Mountain and catch them all in one fell swoop."

After hearing his words, several people looked thoughtful.

"What does the headmaster mean, is this a major operation by Xuanmen against our sect?"

Xun Wenxing said: "At least this possibility cannot be ruled out now. If Xuanmen uses the power of the three sects to attack in a large scale, we will know the news in advance. They are probably a few high-level monks of the secret sect. They are so invisible that the ghosts are unaware. Use Junior Brother Tie as bait to ambush us."

"I have sent people to investigate the matter and told them to try not to expose it. The specific matters will be left to the local cultivating families."

"In addition, I think it is necessary to clean up the secret agents lurking in our sect, otherwise such things may happen again in the future. I decided to follow the example of the Youmei Sect and form an investigation team, and select some loyal, capable, and reliable disciples to specifically search for them. What do you think, my fellow disciples?"

Everyone had no objections and nodded.

………………………………

In the Qianyi Sect, in front of the Luo Qingshui Cave Mansion, a ray of light came out, and a human figure appeared. It was Tang Ning who had returned to the sect from the Kingdom of Wu.

He waved his hand and passed the talisman into the inner room. After a while, the thick fog rolled in, and Yang Chang came out, bowed and said: "Uncle Tang, master, please come in."

Tangning came to Luo Qingshui's main room, and the two of them sat opposite each other. Luo Qingshui said, "I feel relieved to see you back. I was worried that something might happen to you before. How are things going?"

"Luckily, I succeeded. The iron-painted bone has been cut by my hands." Tangning flipped her left hand and returned the phantom veil and shadowless cloak.

Luo Qingshui gave him a thoughtful look, took the object in his hand, nodded and said: "That's good, that's good."

Tang Ning said: "There is one more thing I want to tell you. Zhang Huiyong, who was lurking next to Fan Yun, must have been exposed after the death of Tie Huagu. If he continues to stay in the Blood and Bone Sect, there is only one way to die. Therefore, I made the decision without authorization and brought him back." Sect, give him a place to settle down."

"You can arrange it yourself!"

"Okay, I'll take my leave now."

Luo Qingshui nodded, Tangning stood up and left.

Watching her go away, Luo Qingshui fell into deep thought. After a while, Yang Chang pushed the door open and said, "Master, Tangning is gone."

"Take this thing back to the arsenal!" Luo Qingshui handed him the veil and cloak in his hand and said.

"Yes." Yang Chang took the things in his hands and was about to leave when Luo Qingshui suddenly asked, "What do you think of Tangning?"

Yang Chang was slightly startled: "Master, what do you mean by this?"

"I just asked casually. I didn't realize until today that maybe I had underestimated him before."

Yang Chang asked in confusion: "Why did Master say this?"

"Do you know why he took this thing from the sect?"

"Disciple I don't know."

Luo Qingshui said: "Actually, it is to lurk in the territory of Wu State and assassinate the Blood and Bone Sect Jindan elder Tie Huagu."

When Yang Chang heard this, he was shocked and said: "What? He went to assassinate the elder of the Blood Bone Sect alone. Why?"

"According to him, this iron-painted bone has an sworn hatred against him. He is the culprit who massacred his whole family, and must be avenged. In fact, I don't agree with his rashness. However, he is determined, and he did not expect to succeed. "

"He single-handedly assassinated the Golden Core Elder of the Blood and Bone Sect?" Yang Chang said in disbelief. In Xingang, there are only a handful of Golden Core monks who can reach this level. None of them are talented or have great opportunities. They are all experienced in many battles, no one is easy to deal with, and no one is a freeloader.

It's a bit incredible that Tang Ning could single-handedly assassinate the Golden Core cultivator of the opposing sect in the heart of the Blood Bone Sect.

Luo Qingshui said: "I originally thought he would end up in failure. Although Tiehuagu is in the early stage of the Golden Elixir, he has been practicing for hundreds of years after all. He is a monk who has been promoted to the Golden Elixir for less than a few decades. Even one-on-one, he may not be able to succeed." It's an opponent, let alone on someone else's territory. Even if the opponent is defeated, it will be difficult to stop him. "

"That's why I tried to persuade him not to take such a big risk. It seems that I underestimated him. I think if I leave our sect in his hands in the future, I will feel more at ease."

Yang Chang said: "Master, do you want him to take over the position of head teacher?"

Luo Qingshui asked: "What do you think! What do you think?"

Yang Chang thought for a while and said: "It seems that there is no better candidate in the sect. He is now the master of Xuande Hall. If his cultivation can be further improved, with the support of the master, there must be great hope."

Luo Qingshui said: "I'm afraid we don't have that much time."

"What do you mean, master?"

"You don't know yet! The situation in Mubei is very serious now. I heard that Xuanmen may evacuate at any time. When Mubei's alliance army goes south, how can Xuanmen in Qinghai resist such a behemoth? Our sect Where to go?”

Yang Chang looked slightly shocked when he heard this: "Has it already reached this point? Then Taixuanzong just doesn't care about it?"

Luo Qingshui shook his head, his eyes full of confusion: "If it can be stopped, why would we evacuate? I am already old! My life is short, and I should find someone to lead the sect, even if it is a critical situation in the future. , we can also preserve the fire of Qian Yizong.”

………………………

The bright moon was in the sky, and stars were shining brightly. In the southeastern part of Wu Kingdom, in the remote mountains and forests, a ray of light shot down, and two men wearing bamboo hats and black robes appeared.

After the two escaped from the light, they looked around cautiously and walked towards the cave ahead.

The cave was dark, and one of the men could not see his fingers. One of the men pressed on the stone wall, and the ground moved to both sides, revealing a bluestone passage.

The two of them walked inside, and after walking for about a few dozen feet, a black stone wall blocked their way. Under the stone wall sat a man wearing a monkey-shaped mask.

The two men turned over their hands and took off their bamboo hats, revealing their original appearance, but they saw that one of them was broad-minded and the other had a beard full of cheeks. These two people were Peng Xian and He Yuan.

He Yuan took out a golden round token and handed it to him.

The man took the token, looked at it, and made a sign of invitation.

The two pushed open the stone door and stepped inside. On a round stone table inside, eight or nine men and women in black robes were sitting.

"Brother Peng, please sit down." He Yuan said.

Peng Xian took his seat as instructed, his eyes swept over everyone's faces one by one, and everyone nodded to him.

"I won't introduce this person in detail. All fellow Taoists know his situation. As a newcomer, Taoist Peng participated in the discussion of our organization for the first time, which means that he has officially joined the ranks of our organization. From now on, we will work together and fight side by side." He Yuan said.

"Brother Peng, let me introduce to you. All of you here are like-minded friends. This is fellow Taoist Ding Xuanli, and his external identity is a disciple of Youmei Sect."

"This is Taoist fellow Taoist Ma Shouxian, and his external identity is a casual cultivator."

"This is Fellow Taoist Lu Xu, and his external identity is that he is a descendant of the Lu family of Qi State."

"This is fellow Taoist Sima Chao. I won't tell you. You already know each other."

"This is Fellow Taoist Zhang Qian, and his external identity is a disciple of the Qianyi Sect."

"This is fellow Taoist Shi Huan, and his external identity is a member of the Baoxing Chamber of Commerce."

"This is Fellow Taoist Yu Feixiong. His external identity is a disciple of Shuiyun Sect. He was the mysterious monk who helped you that day."

"This is Fellow Taoist Kong Yan, and his external identity is a disciple of the New Moon Sect."

Peng Xian nodded and was slightly shocked. This was the first time he participated in the organization's discussion. He had always been in single-line contact with He Yuan before. He didn't expect that this unknown organization was actually Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. None of the people here had any cultivation level. Those who are weaker than him are mostly late-stage foundation-building monks.

Moreover, this mere eight or nine people cover almost all the forces in Xingang, forming a network that gathers intelligence from all parties.

"Fellow Taoist, thank you very much for saving me that day." Peng Xian said.

"It's just a small thing, no need to say thank you, Fellow Daoist Peng, we finally meet here, welcome you to officially join us."
