Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Seeing the two people entering, many people were looking at them. Tang Ning understood clearly that this place was a refuge for remnant soldiers. She just didn't know whether the formation had been prepared before or if they had built it temporarily.

The man led him through the lobby of the house, came to a stone room in the corridor on the left, and knocked on the stone door.

"Come in." A deep voice came from inside.

The two pushed the door open, and there sat a burly middle-aged man with a tiger body and ape-like arms sitting cross-legged inside.

"Uncle Master, this is a disciple who escaped from the Third Column and the Seventh Regiment. He was brought here by fellow Taoist Fang Xian." The man bowed and saluted.

The big man glanced at Tang Ning and said, "Are you from the Three Columns and Seven Alliances?"

Tang Ning immediately took out the token and handed it to him with both hands: "Senior, this junior was originally a direct disciple of the 7th Regiment. During the city guard battle, he got separated from his headquarters, and then accidentally broke into the Mangdang Valley, so he stayed in the 5th Regiment. Column."

"Until the day before yesterday, the Mubei demon broke through the formation, and the headquarters warship was destroyed by the monster. The junior once again lost contact with the team. He was about to return to Huangyuan Mountain, but he passed by here unexpectedly and was brought here by Senior Fang."

The man took the token into his hand with one move, confirmed his identity, and waved the token again in front of him: "Since you are a lost disciple, please stay here for now! Now the Mubei demon has reached the Huangyuan Mountains. The Qianyuan Mountains were besieged, with their elite vanguard troops in front and the large army of demons mopping up behind."

"Now we are in a dilemma. We can only lie down first, gather our strength, recruit the scattered disciples of each team, and then wait for the opportunity."

"Xue Ming, take him to the first team and settle him down."

"Yes." The man responded and led Tang Ning out of the stone room.

"Senior Xue, were you the ones who built the spirit-sealing formation and the external illusion formation here?" Tang Ning couldn't help but asked out of curiosity while the two were walking.

"We arrived not long before you, so we didn't have time to build such a complex formation. These formations were built long ago so that when the team collapses in the future, the scattered disciples can have a refuge. Therefore, he escaped from being hunted by monsters."

"Has it been built a long time ago? So, there is more than one such shelter on the island?"

Xue Ming said: "There must be dozens of places at least! I don't know the specifics. These shelters under the Spirit Sealing Formation were built secretly before. Only monks above the level of captain of the alliance know the specific location, and each alliance I only know the corresponding one.”

"The Spirit Sealing Array here is located between the two defense areas of our alliance. It is specially used for our team to take refuge. When we went to the Qianyuan Mountains, we found that the Demon Sect's vanguard brigade had surrounded the formation, so we hurried back to this place."

Tang Ning asked, "Where are your fleet's warships hidden?"

"The warship has been destroyed long ago. We were separated from the column and ended up here. Otherwise, we would have retreated into the Qianyuan Mountains together with the other columns."

"I see." Tang Ning nodded and said, "Senior Fang Xian is staying outside just to gather the separated monks?"

Xue Ming said: "Uncle Tian sent many men to lurk in all directions of the formation. On the one hand, it is to observe the movements of the Mubei Brigade and provide warning in advance, and on the other hand, it is to recruit the separated disciples of each team."

"I am not boasting, fellow Taoist Tang. If it had not been for the benevolence and righteousness of my master, who sympathized with the innocent suffering disciples, I would not have cared about your life or death. You must know that putting you into this formation is taking a great risk. If you are pastored, If the Northern Demon notices this place, you know the consequences."

"Yes, this junior deeply appreciates Senior Tian's great virtue."

While the two were talking, they walked through the corridor, came to the lobby, and came to a tall man.

Xue Ming said: "Fellow Daoist Wang, this is the disciple of the third column who was unable to escape. From now on, he will join your team and act with you."

"Okay." The man nodded.

Xue Ming didn't say anything more, left the room and walked outside.

"Junior Tang Ning has met Senior Wang." Tang Ning bowed to the man.

"Sit down! No need to be polite. My name is Wang Yi, and these are brothers who were separated from the main team. They passed by and were called to take refuge here." The man pointed to a few people beside him and said, "Let me introduce you. , This is fellow Taoist Xunqing, formerly of the fifth column, this is fellow Taoist Qiantang, formerly of the sixth column..."

Tang Ning nodded to several people. There were nine people in the entire team, including him. They were all monks who had escaped from different teams.

Wang Yi continued: "Senior Tian considered that we are escaped disciples. Once this place is discovered by the Mubei demon, it is basically impossible to organize a large-scale and effective resistance, so everyone here is divided into several small teams. If something unexpected happens, disperse and break out.”

Tang Ning nodded, sat cross-legged on his left side, took out the elixir, and swallowed it in one gulp to restore the lost spiritual energy in his body.

……………

The silver arc shone, the majestic Lei Zi ship, the upper level of the Mubei Third Army stood on the deck, looking at the hazy red smoke in front, Yuan You snorted slightly: "I didn't expect Xuanmen to be in a small There are three large formations deployed on the small Cangyun Island, and they are well prepared!"

"This should be their last line of defense! As long as we break through this formation again, we can wipe out Xuanmen's main force stationed on this island." A man with two gray hairs beside him said.

As soon as he finished speaking, a ray of light shot out from the distance, revealing the figure of a man.

"Friend Chisong, how are you doing? How should we break this formation?" Yuan You asked.

Chisong said: "As I expected, this formation is the Hunyuan Qi Bagua formation. There are eight formations in total, which are the eight spiritual attributes of light, darkness, mountain, lake, wind, thunder, cloud and Qi. Hunyuan is one." , with endless changes, it is a very aggressive formation.”

"To break this formation, a large number of people are needed to attack eight formations at once. Eight people are required to occupy each formation to see the formation's eye. The location of the formation's eye is where the formation changes. It is extremely dangerous. At least it requires Sixty-four monks who are proficient in formations also need a large number of personnel to protect them in case of accidents."

Yuan You said: "Immediately summon all the monks above the level of steward to this place."

"Yes." A man responded and turned into light and left.

"With our own manpower, if we want to break this formation, there will be a lot of casualties. In order to preserve our strength and avoid unnecessary casualties, I suggest a joint operation with the second army. Xuanmen is now the turtle in the middle. We can deploy slowly to ensure Foolproof.”

"Okay! Fellow Taoist Chisong, you will still contact them on behalf of our three legions to find a way to break the formation."

"Yes." Chisong responded and turned into light and left.

Above the Qinghai Sea, the moon is high and the stars are densely covered. The Milky Way falls between the blue sea and the ground is covered with stars.

A huge Tianling ship patrolled back and forth near Cangyun Island, driving slowly, and a faint light came from the distance.

As time went by, the light gradually became clearer, and I saw a continuous line of large and small warships and chariots, with flags covering the sun and boats thousands of miles away.

Countless warships covered the sky and the sun, and as far as the eye could see, they were all shining warships, like a moving continent heading towards Cangyun Island.

A cannonball was fired from the Tianling ship, shot straight into the sky, exploded, and the huge airflow cloud bloomed into a black lotus.

Black lotuses bloomed high in the sky, dazzling and dazzling, visible from thousands of miles away. Soon, several black lotuses bloomed high in the sky one after another, extending to Cangyun Island.

On top of the city wall, a round-faced man saw the light of the black lotus image, and his expression changed: "Quickly, go and inform the ministers that Xuanmen's reinforcements have arrived."

"Yes." Several people behind him responded and hurriedly turned into light and left.

……………

Between the blue sea and the blue sky, warships and chariots are overwhelming, stretching for thousands of miles, with lights of various colors shining, illuminating the night like day.

The silver arc flashed, and several figures came out of the majestic thunder carriage. The leader was a man with gray hair and a thin figure. He was Jiang Daode, the commander of the seventh legion of the Xuanmen Qingzhou Alliance.

Seeing the black lotus blooming in the sky, he frowned slightly: "It seems that Cangyun Island has been captured by the Mubei demon. We are still a step too late!"

The man with a fair face on the back left said: "If the news is correct, the Mubei Allied Forces organized ten legions to go south this time, sending four legions to besiege Cangyun Island and Qiansha Island, and two more legions to serve as mobile troops. . It is expected that the outer defense line cannot be defended. Fortunately, the island has complete fortifications and has three lines of defense. I just don’t know how far it has gone. "

A man with a broad forehead and a broad face on the right said: "When you arrive at Cangyun Island, you will know that Ruo Mubei Demon has only a small number of troops to defend the city, which means that it has not completely occupied the island, and the fourth and fifth legions are still fighting against it. If they take the initiative and gather the masses, it means that they have completely occupied the island. "

A beautiful woman said: "If the Mubei demon has completely occupied Cangyun Island, then it is meaningless for us to support Cangyun Island. In order to avoid unnecessary battle casualties, I think it is better to wait for the support armies from other islands to arrive. Come and measure again.”

Jiang Daodeman waved his hand: "It's too early to discuss the advance and retreat plan now, so let's get to Cangyun Island first and then make plans! How far is it from Cangyun Island now?"

"About five to sixty thousand miles!" the woman replied.

"Here comes someone." The man shouted. As soon as he finished speaking, two figures on the deck flashed and came to him, bowed and said, "Uncle, what are your orders?"

"Pass my order. The first, second, third, and fourth columns will send elite forces to explore the road ahead. We must reach Cangyun Island before noon tomorrow."

"Yes." The two men responded and disappeared into light.

"Fellow Daoist Yuan, Fellow Daoist Su, could you please lead the capable team first, while I will lead the majority behind."

"Okay." The two responded.

"After you arrive at Cangyun Island, you can see that you are acting wisely. If Cangyun Island is defended by only a small number of troops, you will capture its defensive position to shock the Mubei demons and reduce the pressure on the fourth and fifth legions. If they are heavily defended, , you just stay put and wait for the headquarters team to arrive before making any plans."

"clear."

………………

In front of the red smoke that filled the sky, Mubei's army was surrounded by black clouds, and the whole formation was surrounded. On the thunder boat, a beam of light came out, and a man with a beard and cheeks appeared, and he walked quickly to the third place. The senior officials of the three legions bowed in front and saluted.

"My subordinates pay homage to you all. The patrol team outside the island sent out a signal flare. It is expected that Xuanmen's reinforcement team has arrived. Lord Fengqian sent his subordinates down to ask for instructions. How should we respond?"

After hearing this, several people frowned.

Yuan You said: "I understand, you go ahead! Tell fellow Taoist Feng Qian to guard the west of the city. I will send people to support you later."

"Yes." The man responded and disappeared into light.

"The support team from Xuanmen came very quickly! I just don't know how many troops they have. Now Daoist Chisong has led many monks from our headquarters to the Second Army Corps to help them break the formation. I don't know how the progress is. I wonder if we have discussed it with the Second Army Corps. What's the strategy for advancing and retreating?" said the man with a bright forehead and a broad face.

One or two gray-haired men beside him said: "If the information is correct, Xuanmen can only arrive so quickly with the two legions stationed on Wuying Island and Xuanyu Island. Even if they give up reinforcing Qiansha Island, there will only be two at most. The strength of the legion is now the critical moment to break the formation. If we retreat once, all our previous efforts will be in vain. We will be attacked from inside and outside, and the outcome is uncertain. "

"My intention is to break the formation with all my strength and deal with the Xuanmen Legion stationed on the island first. As long as the monks stationed on the island are eliminated, the Xuanmen Legion who came to support will naturally not act rashly."

Yuan You pondered for a while: "Fellow Taoist Xuanquan, could you please lead the first and second columns of our headquarters to the city walls to help Taoist Taoist Feng Qian guard the west of the city."

"Okay." The man with a smooth forehead and a broad face responded, and with a flash of light, he left the thunder boat.

Not long after, many warships and chariots took off into the air and turned around to head west.

………………

Outside Cangyun Island, hundreds of huge warships came quickly and faced off against the city. On the thunder carriage, Yuan Ang, deputy commander of the Xuanmen Seventh Army, and Su Mu, the steward, looked at the Mubei Allied Forces in formation outside the city. Frown slightly.

"Look at this formation. Even if the Mubei demons have not completely captured the island, they will definitely have a great advantage. Three to four columns of troops have been deployed to garrison each city wall in the southeast, northwest and northwest of the island. It seems that the fourth and fifth legions are in a bad situation. It's very critical!" Su Mu said.

Yuan Ang nodded and said: "Fellow Daoist Fan told us that if the island is heavily guarded, let us stand by and not act rashly. We should wait until the headquarters arrives here!"

"Looking at the demon formation, even if Fan Daoyou leads his army here, he cannot easily break through the city defenses."

"In any case, the Mubei Demon has sent so many troops to garrison. We have indirectly helped relieve the pressure on the No. 4 and No. 5 on the island."

While the two were talking, a large number of warships and chariots were approaching from within the city walls.

"The demon saw that our troops were weak and wanted to strike first."

"Retreat first. There is no need to compete with them for a while. Pass my order and all warships retreat backwards."

"Yes." A person behind him responded, and in a flash, he entered the cabin.

Mubei's warship sailed hundreds of miles beyond the city walls. Since Xuanmen was an elite team and came and went quickly, Mubei's warship could not catch up. Seeing Xuanmen's rapid retreat, they did not pursue it.

The two sides faced each other more than a thousand miles apart, and each could see the other's warship, which was as big as a sesame seed.
