Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Tang Ning was sitting cross-legged in the cave, taking a rest with her eyes closed.

Footsteps sounded outside the house, followed by a knock on the door. After receiving permission, Mu Tiancheng pushed the door open and bowed, "Uncle Master, Master Yang Chang wants to see you."

"Invite him in."

"Yes." Mu Tiancheng left in response. Not long after, Yang Chang came in, bowed and said: "Uncle Tang, master, please come to the house to have a talk."

Tang Ning stood up and followed him out of the room. After a short while, she arrived at Luo Qingshui Cave Mansion, bowed and took a seat.

Luo Qingshui said: "Today in the hall, in front of Wu Xian, there are some things that I can't say directly, so I ask you to verify them."

Tang Ning said, "I wonder what the master is referring to?"

Luo Qingshui said: "There were four people in the Qingyang Sect's hall at that time. It was you who exposed Wei Ran's false identity. Han Chong's cultivation level is higher than yours, why didn't he notice it?"

"A few years ago, I had the opportunity to practice my clairvoyance and be able to see through illusions, so I noticed." Tang Ning answered half-truthfully.

"According to your observations, is there anything unusual about this Wei Ran? For example, in terms of behavior, speech, or spiritual power fluctuations."

Tang Ning said: "Even Han Chong didn't notice Wei Ran's abnormality. I think it's impossible for ordinary people to find it. Xu Wenruo's technique should have certain restrictions, but it's not clear yet."

Luo Qingshui said: "What do you think Xu Wenruo's purpose is? He spent so much time assisting the Demon Sect in destroying the Qingyang Sect, but it doesn't seem to be of any benefit to him."

Tang Ning said: "I think it might be for the Qingyang Sect's property! As the master of the Qingyang Sect's Yuanyi Palace, Xu Wenruo has the special ability to portray others. Now that the Qingyang Sect is destroyed, he can go directly to the Baoxing Chamber of Commerce. Take away the property stored by the Qingyang Sect."

Luo Qingshui nodded slowly: "I'm a little worried that he will return to Xingang and repeat his old tricks. That's why I invited you here. Since you can see through the false identity, you are responsible for the defense of the sect, no matter who enters or exits the sect. All doors must go through your inspection, what do you think?”

Tang Ning said: "There are quite a few disciples coming in and out of the sect every day. If everyone investigates, it will be time-consuming and labor-intensive."

"Looking at his methods of committing crimes repeatedly, he first lures the general who holds the central formation disk out of the formation, then joins forces with the Demon Sect to kill him, and then uses a fake body to transform into his appearance, take over the formation disk, and then close the formation. , and should be in harmony with the Demon Sect."

"Let's do this! If you go out in the future, just say hello to me. When you enter the sect again and hand over the array, I will go and investigate."

Luo Qingshui pondered for a while and said: "This is a good idea. If I go out from now on, I will just hand over the central array disk to you for safekeeping!"

"Okay." Tangning agreed without refusing, "Oh, by the way, do you want to continue with the visit to Canhua Sect?"

Luo Qingshui said: "Let's put this matter aside for now! Now that the Qingyang Sect has been destroyed, the situation in Xingang has changed again. The Demon Sect's overall strength is already stronger than ours. Since they jointly attacked the Qingyang Sect, they may also join forces. Attack us. Junior Brother Peng has not returned yet, we must concentrate our efforts to defend the sect, and it is not appropriate to send any more troops out."

"Nothing else, I'll take my leave now."

In the Kingdom of Wu, among the barren mountains and ridges, within the pavilions, Xun Wenxing was playing chess with Zheng Jiehuai.

A ray of light shot out from afar, revealing the figure of a man with eagle eyes, thin lips, and gray hair on his temples. He was none other than the headmaster of the Crescent Sect, Mo Daode.

He walked to the pavilion and sat down beside the two of them without saying a word.

After a long time, after a game of chess, Xun Wenxing said with a smile on his face: "I invite two Taoist friends to come here today. One of them thanks your sect for helping our sect to defeat the Qingyang Sect. We won a great victory in this battle, and all the elites of the Qingyang Sect were lost. High-ranking monks have been killed one after another, and there are only a few stragglers left, which is no longer a concern. "

"The two are fulfilling the previous agreement. According to the agreement, the three sects of you and I will equally share the resources under the jurisdiction of the Qingyang Sect. This is the distribution plan I have made. Please take a look at the two Taoists. If you have no objection, let's divide it according to this! "

Xun Wenxing turned over with his left hand and took out two files and handed them to the two of them: "The territory under the actual control of Qingyang Sect is about six thousand miles in radius. Among them, there are two spiritual mines and eight second-level cultivation resource production areas. There are twenty-one first-level cultivation resources.”

"This includes six gambling houses and ten shops under direct control. There are 21 participating gambling houses, lofts and shops."

"It also includes a breeding ground for red flamingos, with approximately hundreds of thousands of flamingos."

"To sum up, Qingyang Sect's total annual income is between four and five million spirit stones."

"I divided all the property of the Qingyang Sect, and I will never treat these two fellow Taoists badly."

Mo Daode said: "I'm afraid the Qingyang Sect's wealth is more than this! The amount of spiritual stones and supplies stored in the sect is no less than tens of millions of spiritual stones. Didn't Fellow Daoist Xun forget these? "

Xun Wenxing said: "The two fellow Taoists must know that the former Xuanmen transported a large amount of materials to the Baoxing Chamber of Commerce. Although we have defeated his sect, the sect's storage has long been empty."

Zheng Jiehuai said: "Even if the materials are transported away, it is impossible to transport all the spiritual stones! Otherwise, how can we pay the disciples' salaries? The herbs cultivated in the sect, the elixirs refined, talismans, magical instruments and other items must also be returned Keep it alive!”

Xun Wenxing said: "We are still counting these things. After the statistics are completed, we will definitely give a satisfactory answer to the two fellow Taoists."

Zheng Jiehuai said: "I don't know where Taoist friend Xu Wenruo is now?"

Xun Wenxing said: "He disappeared after we defeated the Qingyang Sect, and his whereabouts are still unknown."

"Oh?" Zheng Jiehuai and Mo Daode looked at each other, both looking surprised.

Mo Daode opened his mouth and said: "Isn't it because your Blood and Bone Sect crossed the river and demolished the bridge, unloaded the mill and killed the donkey? Or is it the golden house hiding the beauty? You don't want us to know."

Xun Wenxing smiled and said: "You are not joking, Fellow Daoist. We can't get a stranger like Fellow Daoist Xu, so why would he do such a stupid thing for a trivial profit? Besides, he has cooperated with us for many years, and this time he defeated the Qingyang Sect, and the entire With his strategies and methods, the Blood and Bone Sect would not treat their friends like this."

Zheng Jiehuai said thoughtfully: "He won't leave Xingang!"

"Probably."

"What a pity. If he is still in Xingang, we can continue to cooperate. With his ability and proper planning, we might be able to annihilate the Qianyi Sect and Shuiyun Sect one by one."

Mo Daode asked: "Did he put forward any conditions this time?"

"There are no conditions, but he also said that he can take away part of the Qingyang Sect's property stored in the Baoxing Chamber of Commerce. I think this should be his purpose."

………………………

Time flies, and half a year passed in the blink of an eye. During this period, Qian Yizong, in the name of Wu Xian, recruited many elite disciples who had fled Qingyang Sect.

In the entire Qingyang Sect, except for Wu Xian, no Golden Core cultivator was able to escape, and more than half of the Foundation Establishment disciples were killed or injured.

The head of the Qingyang Sect, the master of the Qingxuan Hall, the master of the Xuande Hall, and the master of the Secret Academy were all killed. Xu Wenruo, the master of the Yuanyi Hall, was the culprit and had defected.

Nowadays, among the Jindan monks of Qingyang Sect, only Wu Xian, the president of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and He Ziyang, the president of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, are left.

He Ziyang escaped disaster because he, Peng Wanli and others went to Crescent Island to complete the follow-up material handover. He must not be aware of this yet.

According to intelligence reports, this time the three sects of the Demon Sect dispatched a total of thirteen Golden elixir monks and thirty foundation-building disciples of the Blood and Bone Sect. They originally wanted to wipe out the Qingyang Sect in one fell swoop.

But it happened that Tang Ning and Fang Xuanmao arrived at Qingyang Sect, attracting the pursuit of four of their golden elixir monks, so Wu Xiancai was able to fight to the death and escape.

Otherwise, if these four Jindan cultivators were added, not to mention that Wu Xian could not escape, there would be at least dozens more casualties among the foundation-building disciples of the Qingyang Sect.

With such serious casualties, Qingyang Sect has lost its strength and qualifications as an independent sect. Its disciples have dispersed, some were recruited by the Chamber of Commerce, and some directly joined the Demon Sect.

Qianyi Sect and Shuiyun Sect each recruited some elite disciples, and by now, the entire Qingyang Sect had been torn apart.

Even Wu Xian was very wise and did not mention regaining the Qingzhu Mountain Range.

It is sad that a sect that has existed for thousands of years collapsed in an instant.

In order to avoid the sudden attack of the Demon Sect and repeat the mistakes of the Qingyang Sect, the Qianyi Sect has recently increased its vigilance and sent out disciple sentries within a radius of 300 miles outside the entire Luoyun Mountains.

Luo Qingshui was worried that Xu Wenruo would sneak back to Xingang secretly and collude with the Demon Sect, so he specifically proposed in the meeting that all Jindan monks must be inspected by Tang Ning when they return after going out, and he was no exception.

Nowadays, the whole Qianyi Sect inside and outside is in a state of imminent rain.

The destruction of the Qingyang Sect affected not only the areas under the jurisdiction of the Wu State, but also the Qi and Chu States. In the past six months, many cultivating families in the Chu State had changed their banners and defected to the Demon Sect. In this regard, Qian Yizong was also helpless.

Their main task now is to defend the sect, and they simply don't have the ability to compete for the territory within their jurisdiction.

Moreover, the sect is about to evacuate, and now they are just waiting for orders from the Qingzhou Alliance and Taixuan Sect to leave Xingang. They have no intention of competing with the Demon Sect for these resources. They will be discarded sooner or later anyway, so why bother with them anymore.

Tang Ning was sitting cross-legged in the cave. There was a knock on the door outside. Mu Tiancheng opened the door and walked in. He saluted and said, "Uncle Luo, who is on duty at Qianxing Hall, is here. He is waiting outside."

Tang Ning nodded, knowing that he was asked to investigate his identity. He stood up and left the cave. Outside the thick fog, a man with a beard and cheeks stood up. When he saw him, he bowed and said, "Uncle Yin has returned from going out and is now in the main hall." waiting."

Tang Ning didn't say anything. She took off the light, and after a short while, she arrived at the Qianxing Hall. There was a man sitting inside, none other than Yin Qingyuan.

Seeing him entering, Yin Qingyuan stood up and said with a smile: "Junior Brother Tang is here, you are now the treasure of the clan. If I go out one day, we will all be blind."

"Senior Brother Yin has already said that the headmaster also considers the safety of the sect. To be honest, I am not willing to accept this assignment."

"I understand."

The two chatted casually for a few words and left the hall together.
