Chronicles of Celestial Origins

In the distance, spots of light appeared one after another, and the warships and chariots that covered the sky and the sun rushed over, forming a torrent. The warships and chariots stretched for thousands of miles, covering the sky and the earth.

"They are here, fellow Taoists, let's go and greet them!" Zhu Ruiming said, his body flashed, the light flew up, and everyone behind him also followed.

The silver arc of the huge thunder and garrison ship flashed. The four characters "Fengyun Chamber of Commerce" were written on the bow flag and sail, and the three characters "Yuanyihao" were written on the stern flag and sail.

Zhu Ruiming and others came to the deck of the thunder boat. Soon, the hatch opened and several people filed out.

The leader, with a white face and beardless appearance, looked like a Confucian scholar. He was dressed in the attire of the Fengyun Chamber of Commerce, with a smile on his face. He walked quickly, bowed his head and said, "Unexpectedly, Taoist friend Zhu came from afar to greet me. I asked you to wait for a long time, and forgive me for my sins."

"Fellow Daoist Su, we are looking forward to the arrival of your Chamber of Commerce, just like we look forward to the rain in a severe drought. We have long been waiting for it. On behalf of our sect and the monks from the Qingzhou Alliance, I welcome your arrival." Zhu Ruiming returned the courtesy.

"Fellow Daoist Su, let me introduce you. This is Fellow Daoist Feng Ziyu from the Hunyuan Sect, this is Fellow Daoist An Xian from the Mirror Moon Sect, and this is from the Shangyuan Sect..."

Everyone on both sides bowed their heads and saluted one by one, and exchanged a few polite words with each other. After some greetings, the thunder boat sailed to the majestic and majestic outline of Fenghua City.

Zhu Ruiming said: "Fellow Daoist Su, let the people below handle the placement of your merchant alliance's legion! To welcome you fellow daoists, we have prepared a simple banquet. If you don't give up, we will go there first. Bar!"

"Okay, guests do as they please. When we get here, we will follow the arrangements of fellow Taoists."

In a flash, everyone left the thundering boat and came to the palace on the wall of Fenghua City.

"Fellow Daoist Su, please."

"Fellow Daoist Zhu, please go first."

A group of people entered the inner room. The hall was spacious and bright. There was a round table in the middle, on which were placed colorful delicacies and spiritual wine. The fragrance filled the entire hall. However, judging from the layout, it was too simple. Too crude.

Everyone took their seats one by one. Zhu Ruiming poured a glass of spiritual wine and raised his glass: "The front line is tight and the war is unfavorable. It is not suitable to be extravagant. This banquet is a bit simple. I hope all fellow Taoists from the Chamber of Commerce will forgive you. But we sincerely welcome all Taoists. Friends have arrived.”

After everyone drank the wine, the man surnamed Su said: "Fellow Daoist Zhu is too polite. Why do you and I need these vulgar etiquette? To be honest, I have long wanted to fight side by side with you to fight against the demons."

"Leave aside the human race and the identity of the demon race, we are all the local chamber of commerce in Qingzhou. If the Mubei demons plunder and invade Qingzhou, our losses will be just as heavy."

"It's just that we didn't get permission from the Merchant Alliance before, so we were powerless. As soon as the Merchant Alliance gave the order, we immediately organized a capable team to come to the rescue without any delay."

Zhu Ruiming smiled and said: "We are extremely relieved that Fellow Daoist Su has such sincerity. According to the requirements of your Chamber of Commerce, your Chamber of Commerce's team does not need to be incorporated into the legion of our Qingzhou Xuanmen Alliance. You have the right to make decisions independently."

"But we want to place an inspector in your team at all levels. I'm sure Fellow Daoist Su won't object to this!"

The man surnamed Su took a sip of the spiritual wine: "Is this necessary? Since we are here, of course we will obey the decision-making arrangements of your alliance. Our Chamber of Commerce has never had this position of supervision."

Zhu Ruiming said: "Don't get me wrong, fellow Daoist Su, we have no intention of interfering in the internal affairs of your Chamber of Commerce. This supervisor is just a title. If you don't like it, it doesn't matter if you change it."

"Since we are all on the same ship assisting each other in fighting, we naturally need to communicate more. And when the war is going on, no one can predict how chaotic the situation will be. Send a person from the Xuanmen Alliance to your teams at all levels, that is To facilitate communication, there is no intention to compete for power.”

"This inspector is a false position and will not interfere in your internal affairs. Your team still has absolute autonomy. Similarly, you can also send someone to our teams at all levels."

The man surnamed Su was silent for a while: "Since Fellow Daoist Zhu has said so, then do as you wish! We came here to obey Fellow Daoist Zhu's arrangements."

"Currently, we are vigorously building a prohibition formation in Donglai County. We hope that fellow Taoists from the Chamber of Commerce can contribute."

"Of course, no matter the human or financial resources, Taoist friends can just arrange it."

"On behalf of our sect and the Qingzhou Xuanmen Alliance, I once again welcome the Merchant Alliance to join our camp. From now on, we will cooperate sincerely and work together to fight against the demons and fight the difficult battle to defend our homeland in Qingzhou. I hope you will encourage us together." Zhu Ruiming picked up the wine glass and everyone drank it down.

Tang Ning was sitting cross-legged in the room, practicing self-cultivation with his eyes closed. There was a knock on the door. He opened his eyes, stood up and opened the room. Outside the room stood a man with a Chinese character: "Fellow Taoist Tang, Uncle Feng has summoned everyone to discuss something."

"Okay." Tang Ning responded, left the room and came to the stone hall on the top of the mountain. There were more than ten men and women sitting inside.

Some people nodded to him, and Tang Ning returned the favor and took a seat at the bottom.

"Fellow Taoist Tang, congratulations. I haven't seen you for more than a month, and your cultivation has improved further." A bearded man next to him said.

"I was lucky enough to break through this situation. It was unexpected. By the way, today is not the time for discussion. Why did Senior Feng suddenly convene a discussion? Does Fellow Daoist know what is going on?"

"Maybe it's a duty assigned by the superiors! I don't know why."

As time passed, several more people entered one after another. About a quarter of an hour later, two men walked in simultaneously. The man on the left was Captain Feng Yijue, and the man on the right was Inspector Guan Yun.

The two of them took their seats directly above, and Feng Yijue said: "All fellow Taoists are here. This sudden meeting is to announce something. Maybe some fellow Taoists have heard about it. Just yesterday, the Merchant Alliance organized four legions. Troops have been stationed in Fenghua City and will fight with us against the Mubei Demon."

"From now on, we are all brothers on the same front and should work together as one. Although the Merchant Alliance has deployed troops to Fenghua City, they are still under the leadership of the Merchant Alliance and will not be included in the ranks of our Qingzhou Xuanmen Alliance."

"Currently, four legions from each chamber of commerce have been stationed in Qingyunli, and the defense of that area will be their responsibility from now on."

"Although the legions of the Merchant Alliance are not incorporated into the ranks of the Qingzhou Xuanmen Alliance and are not under the jurisdiction of the alliance, they are still our partners in fighting the Mubei demons. Strict orders have been issued from above, forbidding allied monks to conflict with them."

"If the two sides have any personal grudges or frictions, they should ask the Allied Forces to resolve them. Anyone who dares to use force privately will be severely punished. All fellow Taoists must remember this section."
