Chronicles of Celestial Origins

"Junior brother Tang, I heard that you were a disciple selected by Qinghai and assigned to the sect. You only officially joined the sect last month. Is this news true?" Peng Yuan suddenly asked, with a profound look in his eyes.

As soon as he said this, Guan Chao also looked sideways at him. It was obvious that the two of them were very interested in this topic.

"Yes, I was indeed selected from Qinghai."

"I heard that a total of three people were assigned to the headquarters this time. Only you stayed in the alliance and were directly under the command. The other two were assigned to Tingcheng?"

Tang Ning smiled slightly, did not answer, and changed the subject: "I wonder what we need to do in this mission? I heard from Senior Uncle Yu of our team that a Xuanling Ship was hijacked. Is it our Xuanling Ship? Two senior brothers Do you know?"

"It's the Xuanling Ship of Xiaoxian Sect." Guan Chao replied.

"Xiaoxian Sect?" Tang Ning asked in confusion: "What is its relationship with the headquarters? Why did they use their Xuanling Ship to transport our supplies?"

"The Xiaoxian Sect is a Ding-level Xuanmen stationed in Xuanyang Pavilion. Our headquarters has many business dealings with them, so the transportation of supplies has always been handled by them. This time, the merchant ship of the Xiaoxian Sect is transporting our goods. It’s a disaster, but it’s still unclear whether the other party is coming for Xiaoxian Sect or us.”

"Why not just use our own merchant ships to transport supplies? Instead, use theirs. Isn't this unnecessary?"

"I can't explain what's going on here in a sentence or two. In short, the Xiaoxian Sect is a local leader, and they are also in charge of Yuanquangufang City. It is a decision from above to hand it over to them. I don't know what the specific considerations are."

While the three of them were chatting, another escaping light came from the distance, revealing the figure of a man with big ears, who was Xiao Han from the fourth team.

As time went by, other groups of Jindan disciples arrived one after another. Around Chen time, a Xuanling ship came from the southwest and stopped in the sky above everyone.

A beam of light shot down from the deck, and a man with a leopard head and ape arms appeared. He was none other than Jiang Yuan, the captain of the first team directly under his command. He glanced at everyone, waved his hand, and said goodbye. Everyone jumped up in the light, Jump onto the warship.

The Xuanling Ship slowly sailed out of the Tianniu Mountains and arrived at the inner city in less than half an hour.

A man with eagle eyes and thin lips walked out of the cabin. He was Xue Jian, the manager of the direct brigade. Everyone followed him out of the Xuanling Ship and entered the inner city to an attic named Canglang Wutong Pavilion.

"Senior Xue." In the hall, a beautiful-looking woman saw everyone arriving and quickly came up to greet them and bowed.

"When can the merchant ship we are taking set off?"

"We can set off at noon. Senior, please wait in the inner room." The woman said, leading everyone through the hall to a spacious room in the backyard.

There were many monks sitting inside, and when they saw a large number of people wearing Taixuanzong costumes coming in, they all looked sideways.

Without squinting, Xue Jian strode to the front row and took his seat. Everyone followed him and sat down around him. After waiting for about an hour, a man wearing Canglang Sect clothes came in from the outside and said, "Fellow Taoists, The "Yuyue" Wind Spirit Ship is about to set off, please come with me."

Everyone stood up one after another, followed him out of the attic, went to the car and boat parking lot in the inner city, and boarded the "Yuyue" Wind Spirit Ship.

Soon, the Wind Spirit Ship loaded with cargo took off into the sky, left the inner city, and sped towards the southeast.

A few days later, the "Yuyue" arrived at Xuanyang Pavilion. Everyone got off the merchant ship and traveled for more than half a day. They saw a huge mountain range in sight. Looking down from a high altitude, the entire mountain range was shaped like an elephant horn, surrounded by clouds and mist, and the spiritual power was very strong.

A blue light curtain stood in the center of the mountain range. Everyone passed through the clouds and mist covering the mountain range and came to the light curtain. Along the way, they saw peaks towering and many exotic flowers and plants planted on both sides. The entire mountain range seemed like A huge herb garden.

Many towering peaks divide a huge herb garden spanning more than a thousand miles into dozens of pieces, with more than a dozen monks stationed on each mountaintop.

This is where the third brigade is stationed, the Rhinohorn Mountains.

The Third Brigade is responsible for the specific affairs of the ten pavilion cities under Xuantang City. The Rhinoceros Mountains in Xuanyang Pavilion is the office of the Third Brigade. The reason for choosing this place is because Xuanyang Pavilion has rich cultivation resources and is stationed there. The Ding-level Xuanmen Xiaoxian Sect is also one of the top Xuanmen sects in Tingcheng, a subordinate city of Xuantang City.

In general, for inland D-level Xuanmen, the headmaster and the masters of the three halls and the three courtyards are mostly Yuanying-level monks. If the D-level Xuanmen is more powerful, there may be monks who transform gods.

However, the Xiaoxian Sect had three god-transforming monks, and it could be said that it was very prosperous for a while. Among the Xuanmen in Tingcheng, a subordinate city of Xuantang City, only the Huayu Sect of Fengyang Pavilion could compare with them.

Facing such a powerful Xuanmen, of course it is necessary to strengthen the garrison force. If you only send a small team to garrison, the local Xuanmen will not take you seriously at all.

The reason why Xiaoxian Sect is so strong is because Xuanyang Pavilion has abundant cultivation resources.

Within the entire territory of Xuanyang Pavilion with a radius of 100,000 miles, there is one top-grade spiritual mine, five high-grade spiritual mines, and fifteen medium-grade spiritual mines.

In addition, there are five fourth-order spiritual veins, twelve third-order spiritual veins, twenty second-order spiritual veins, and various cultivation resources.

Among these cultivation resources, Xiaoxian Sect directly owns three high-grade spiritual mines, seven medium-grade spiritual mines, two fourth-order spiritual veins, five third-order spiritual veins, and ten second-order spiritual veins.

Occupying so many cultivation resources, the sect is naturally strong. It can be said that Xuanyang Pavilion is uniquely endowed. Although its jurisdiction is the same as other pavilion cities, with a radius of only 100,000 miles, the cultivation resources occupied within this 100,000 square meters are larger than those around it. The total number of four or five pavilion cities is too much.

The 5,000-mile-wide territory that Taixuanzong occupied in Xuanyang Pavilion included a fourth-level low-grade spiritual vein, a high-grade spiritual mine, and a valley that produced gold and soil.

This rhinoceros horn mountain range is the fourth-level low-grade spiritual vein it occupies. The entire mountain range covers an area of ​​about two thousand miles and is planted with many types of elixirs and herbs.

The crowd fell in front of the light curtain. Xue Jian flipped his hand, and a transmission note fell into the room. After a while, the light curtain melted away, and a figure flashed out from inside, revealing a man with a beard and full cheeks.

"Senior Brother Xue, Senior Brother Jiang, why are you here?" the man asked.

"Junior brother Wang, we are here to investigate the robbery of supplies under the orders of our headquarters. Since we are not familiar with the people here, we would like to ask for your help. We are here to pay a visit to Uncle Guan."

"Okay, please come with me."

Everyone filed into the room, Xue Jian ordered everyone to wait in a large hall, and he and Jiang Yuan fled away together with the man surnamed Wang.

……………………

About a quarter of an hour later, the three of them returned to the hall again, followed by a man with a fair face and a tall figure.

Several people took their seats in the hall one after another, while others stood aside.

"Junior Brother Huang, I'll help you this time. We're not familiar with the place here. Please give me some advice." Xue Jian said.

The pale-faced man responded: "Senior Brother Xue, you don't have to be polite. We are all brothers in this department and we work for the sect. Besides, Uncle Guan has orders. How dare I not do my best to help you? If you have any questions, just ask me."

Jiang Yuandao: "How much do you know about the robbery of supplies?"

The pale-faced man said: "It happened half a year ago, on July 26th. At that time, the Xuanling ship of Xiaoxian Sect escorted our supplies from Xuantang City to Yuanquan Valley. The journey was uneventful until the road Passing through the Yuanyang Mountains of "Longxiang County".

"About the time of Chou, four monks suddenly appeared. Two were in the late stage of Yuanying, and two were in the middle stage of Yuanying. They were wearing black robes and hats. Without saying a word, they directly attacked the Xuanling Ship."

"At that time, there were only two Yuanying monks from the Xiaoxian Sect on the Xuanling ship, as well as a dozen Jindan monks and thirty or forty Foundation-building monks."

"The four Nascent Soul monks attacked less than half a cup of tea before the warship was captured. According to the surviving disciples, after the warship crashed, they immediately turned into birds and fled."

"The perpetrators immediately started killing. Three of them chased the two Yuan Ying monks of the Xiaoxian Sect who fled, and the other one massacred the remaining Xiaoxian Sect disciples."

"In the end, only four Jindan monks and a dozen foundation-building disciples survived. The rest were killed, including the two Yuanying monks who fled, and their heads were missing in the end."

"The Xiao Yuan Sect immediately launched an investigation after learning about the matter, and at the same time sent someone to inform us. Master Liu then ordered me to lead a team of disciples to assist in the investigation."

Xue Jiandao: "What did you find?"

The pale-faced man said: "We went to the crime scene and collected some blood, but it all belonged to Xiaoxian Sect disciples. Only a trace of blood left by the murderer was found in a canyon two thousand miles away from the crime scene."

"A big battle broke out in this place, and the surrounding rocks were shattered. It should be that the escaped Xiaoxian Sect Yuanying monks fought with the perpetrators here. After careful investigation and search, we re-condensed the blood in several places around the land. Later, After comparison, one of them does not belong to the Yuanying monk from Xiaoxian Sect and should be the perpetrator. "

"We speculate that the perpetrator may have used some kind of blood magical power during the fight, thus leaving traces."

"We have used various methods to try and find clues to the perpetrator through the blood left behind, but the distance between the two parties may be too far, and in the end we found nothing."

"The two Nascent Soul cultivators from the Xiaoxian Sect were both physically and mentally destroyed. Even the Nascent Soul did not escape. We only found some traces of flesh and blood."

Liu Yuan asked: "What about the crashed Xuanling ship? Where did the escorted goods go?"

"The goods disappeared without a trace. I think they were transported away."

Xue Jiandao: "If you want to transport all the goods in a ship, you must use a merchant ship. It should be easy to find clues!"

"I did not participate in the subsequent investigation. People from the Xiaoxian Sect were in charge."

Xue Jian nodded slightly and then ordered: "Tang Ning, Guan Chao, Xiao Han, the three of you go to Source Valley to investigate."

"Peng Yuan, Lu Ze, and Zhang Xu, the three of you are going to the Yuanyang Mountains to investigate."

"Junior Brother Huang, please take me and Junior Brother Jiang to the Xiaoxian Sect."

"Yes." Everyone responded and went their separate ways.
