Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Outside the city, on the Yunqi Wind Spirit ship, Tang Ning watched hundreds of warships approaching slowly. She couldn't help but feel a little surprised. Just a few hundred warships were worthy of such a fanfare. It was quite a fuss. The meaning of a bad knife.

It wasn't until the warships sailed in front that he could clearly see that on each warship, there were densely packed groups of monks. The decks of hundreds of warships were full of monks, and there were many soldiers.

They were dressed in uniform black costumes and marched neatly. The black flag sail on the bow of the ship was flying with the words "Netherworld Island Legion", and the overall look gave people a solemn and solemn feeling.

This was completely different from what he had imagined. These people did not look like bandits who were kings of the mountains, but more like soldiers who had experienced battles and were well-disciplined.

Hundreds of warships, supported by several Tianling ships from Xuanmen, headed towards the city. After about half an hour, each team also turned their boats around, filed into the city, and returned to their respective stations.

More than ten days passed by in a flash. On this day, Tang Ning left the room and came to the meeting hall. There were several people sitting inside, chatting.

"Have you heard? The legions under the Netherworld Sea have already set off."

"Oh? It's only been a few days, are they rushing to Yuanxian County so quickly?"

"They are not going to Yuanxian County, but directly to the front line of Fenghua City."

"Go directly to Fenghua City? Impossible! It's too unkind for someone to come all the way to Donglai County and less than half a month later, he was transferred to the front line to fight against the Mubei Demon."

"The rumors were raised by them themselves and they took the initiative to serve on the front line."

"Voluntarily asking to die? Are these people out of their minds? I don't believe it."

"Fellow Daoist Li, don't believe it. It's really like this. I've heard about it too. Now it's spread outside. The senior leaders of the Allied Forces originally wanted to keep them for a few days, saying that they had worked hard from afar and were not in a hurry. But people said that the war on the front line was going on. It's urgent and there's no need to delay. As soon as possible, the hundreds of warships were dispatched in a hurry. "

"Hundreds of warships? Didn't the Allied Forces allocate some warships to them? Just rely on hundreds of warships to fight against the Mubei demon, and it's not such a way to die!"

"I don't know the specifics. Anyway, I heard that it was like this. They left on the hundreds of warships they came with. I guess the front line should have prepared warships and spiritual weapons for them!"

"They are just cooperating with us, and each is in charge of its own business. Just like the Merchant Alliance, they are responsible for their own manpower, financial resources, etc. We should not provide them with additional warships or other military equipment."

"Isn't that going to die? Let me tell you, it's not a big deal to give them some spiritual weapons. After all, they are all to fight against the Mubei demon. Why should we distinguish them so clearly."

"You don't know this! Do you think they are some kind of chivalrous heroes? In fact, they are profitable. I heard that the higher-ups reached a consensus with them, and they wanted to give them part of Qingzhou's jurisdiction in exchange for their Help.”

Everyone said something to each other.

As time went by, many more people arrived one after another, and they all joined the discussion about the Netherworld Marine Corps. It was not until the captain Fang Ting came in from the outside that everyone stopped talking.

Today was just a routine meeting. Fang Ting said a few innocuous words, which were orders and tasks conveyed by the upper echelons of the army. Then he announced the end of the meeting, and everyone left the hall and returned to their rooms without mentioning anything.

………………………

On Jining Island, in a slightly dark room, several men and women were sitting in front of a huge black round table.

The stone door creaked open, and a man with gray hair on his temples and a leopard head and ape-like arms walked straight into his seat and said, "We have summoned all fellow Taoists here today to announce an important matter."

"According to the latest accurate news, the superior organization of the Netherworld Sea Headquarters has reached an agreement with the Qingzhou Xuanmen Alliance. Now the headquarters has sent five legions of elite monks to Fenghua City to help Xuanmen fight against the Mubei demon."

"Why do we want to help them fight against the Mubei demon and let them both lose in the fight? Wouldn't it be better if we continue to develop our strength in secret?" asked a person below.

The man said: "This matter has its own considerations. We can't keep hiding and developing in secret. Like a rat crossing the street, if we want to grow stronger, we must move from behind the scenes to the front. This is an excellent opportunity."

"Let all the monks in the world see our strength and promote our ideas. Only in this way can we attract more monks to join our camp."

"Although the Netherworld Sea is a central route, after all, the cultivation resources are limited and are not as prosperous as the inland states and counties. The reason why the Merchant Alliance can become big is because they have a place in all states and counties. Otherwise, it would only rely on the Cangming Sea. There is no chance of being on an equal footing with the four major sects in terms of cultivation resources.”

"If we want to develop, we must slowly penetrate our power into those states and counties, and Qingzhou is the place with the most reasonable conditions."

"The world is currently divided between the three major forces of demon, xuan, and demon. Among the four major sects, Taixuan Sect is the weakest. Those major sects in Qingzhou are already ready to move. In addition, there are Mubei demons to the north of it. This is our most ideal situation. A place for development.”

"After we entered Qingzhou, Taixuanzong and the local Xuanmen did not dare to do anything to us, because they needed to stabilize us and fight against the Mubei demons that might attack at any time. This provides a guarantee for our safety."

"Furthermore, as for Yanzhou, the organization has developed for so many years and has received some support, so it can be considered a firm foothold."

"Qingzhou and Yanzhou are close to each other. They are connected in a line, so they can be considered as taking care of each other."

"That's why the top management spared no effort to win the opportunity to join forces with Xuanmen, the Qingzhou Alliance, so as to infiltrate power into Qingzhou."

"Then what do we need to do?" the white-faced man asked.

"This battle is very critical for us. We must win, and we must win beautifully. We want the monks throughout Qingzhou to see our efforts to put an end to the demon clan's scourge. This is very important for our future development in Qingzhou. "

"We must gather back their lost hearts. When the time comes, we will ascend high and raise the royal flag, and the whole world will respond, and there will be a cloud of followers."

"The premise of all this is that we must win this battle first, win the hearts of the people and show our strength at the same time. As long as we win this battle and drive the Mubei demons back to Mubei, then how will the monks in the world view us? "

"They will think that it is our contribution to expel the demons and quell the demon clan's troubles, because Xuanmen and the Merchant Alliance have suffered repeated defeats over the years, and as soon as we joined the Qingzhou Xuanmen camp, we immediately turned defeat into victory. Then the monks in the world, especially Qingzhou The monks will naturally place all the credit on us."

"I am almost certain that as long as we win this battle, our future development in Qingzhou will be smooth sailing."

"And once we lose, the monks all over the world will think that our strength is far from enough to fight against Xuanmen and the demon clan. More importantly, our years of hard work and development will be burned in this war."

"We have staked all our money on this battle, and we can only win but not lose."

"For me and all of you, all we can do is try our best to find out the information about the Mubei demon. Fellow Daoist Xu, spying on information is your strong point. I hope you will be fully responsible for this matter."

"Okay." A man with a fair complexion and delicate appearance, with a red birthmark between his eyebrows, smiled and nodded: "But I have a request. I hope that all fellow Taoists can hand over the informant information they have to me, so that I can coordinate the planning. ”

"I agree, nothing is more critical than the outcome of the frontal battlefield in Qingzhou, and the only thing we can do is to gather information. Even if it can help the frontal battlefield, we must spare no effort and do our best to complete it."

"Fellow Taoist Xu Wenruo's ability has a natural advantage in this area, so he should be given full authority to handle it. Fellow Taoists should also give their full support."

"I agree."

"I agree."

Several people expressed their opinions one after another.

"There is another good news to tell you. After several negotiations, Taixuanzong and Qingzhou Xuanmen have agreed to hand over the entire Qinghai to our jurisdiction, as well as some jurisdictions in Donglai County. The premise is that we must expel the Mubei demons. Only when we return to Mubei can we take over the entire Qinghai. By then, we will be the masters of the Qinghai Islands.”

When several people heard this, their expressions perked up, and one person asked: "Should we govern the entire Qinghai? What about the Taoist sects and chambers of commerce in Qinghai?"

"All Xuanmen and the Chamber of Commerce on the original island have withdrawn from Qinghai. This is what Xuanmen and the Merchant Alliance have already agreed upon. Although the Qinghai island is small and weak and has poor cultivation resources, it is located between Mubei Grassland and Qingzhou. The location is very important.”

"And after we occupy Qinghai, it is equivalent to having a base area between Qingzhou and Mubei Grassland. At that time, we can choose to penetrate into Qingzhou or Mubei Grassland according to the situation."

"This is the final result that is acceptable to both parties after repeated negotiations at the upper levels of the organization."

"Xuanmen and the Merchant Alliance don't care about the resource-poor Qinghai, and we need a stable development site."
