Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Tang Ning was thinking about something else. Logically speaking, Fang Dasheng should not be involved in the matter between Xiaoxian Sect and Fengyun Chamber of Commerce.

Although the Xiaoxian Sect belongs to the Xuanmen sect, this is a commercial dispute after all, but he went against the norm and personally intervened in the mediation. There is only one possibility, that is, he has a great stake in this matter.

It seems that the relationship between the alliance and the Xiaoxian Sect is very deep. It is not just a simple cooperation in the sale of spiritual weapons. There must be many ulterior transactions in it. No wonder the Xiaoxian Sect’s merchant ships are used to transport spiritual weapons. It must be There must be many unknown agreements between the two parties in private.

"Senior, what do you mean? Fengyun Chamber of Commerce was under pressure from the headquarters and had no choice but to agree to hand over the territory where spiritual beasts are bred to you." Xiao Han asked.

"I have no way of knowing the inside story. I don't know if it was due to pressure, but if senior Guizong didn't come forward, it would definitely not be so easy for our sect to get this territory back."

Guan Chao then said: "The Fengyun Chamber of Commerce was very dissatisfied with this matter, so they carried out this retaliatory ambush operation, killing the disciples of your sect and looting our goods, killing two birds with one stone. Can I understand this?"

"I didn't say that. If you want to understand it this way, it's your business. I'm just stating what I know. As for the conclusion, you can make your own decisions."

Tang Ning asked: "Have Fengyun Chamber of Commerce made any trouble after the thousands-mile-wide jurisdiction that the senior mentioned earlier was returned to your sect? Or has there been any trouble?"

"No, after that piece of land was returned to our sect, it was quickly leased to your sect. Now your sect's people manage it and breed spiritual animals."

The three of them looked at each other with a look of surprise on their faces, but they were completely unaware of this matter. In this way, it was equivalent to Fang Dasheng snatching this territory from Fengyun Chamber of Commerce.

"What about the Netherworld Sea Organization? What grudge does Guizong have against them?" Tang Ning continued to ask.

"There's no enmity to speak of, it's just some discord. Having said that, in the entire Donglai County, which Xuanmen dares to make peace with them?"

"So, there is no conflict between Guizong and the Netherworld Sea Organization."

"Conflicts naturally exist, and they are fundamental. Don't there also be fundamental conflicts between your sect and them?"

"This is not what we are referring to. Is there any conflict of interest between Guizong and the Netherworld Sea Organization recently?"

The man surnamed Zhang said: "We have no cooperation with them. As for the conflict of interests, it is more or less. You know that the two thousand miles of territory occupied by the Nether Sea Organization in this pavilion are actually divided from our original territory. out."

"Moreover, they are recruiting troops aggressively and spreading rumors. Many young children with spiritual roots in our jurisdiction have been snatched away by them. As the saying goes, there is no way for others to sleep soundly on the side of the bed."

"Now there is such a fierce beast staring at us next to our bed. How can there be no conflict of interest? But I believe it is not just our family that has conflicts with them."

As soon as he finished speaking, a tall and muscular man came up from outside and bowed: "Uncle Zhang, are you calling me?"

"He is Qin Qing, a survivor of the merchant ship. If you have anything to say, ask him! Qin Qing, these are fellow Taoists sent by Taixuan Sect to investigate the attack on our merchant ship. Please cooperate well."

"Yes." The man responded.

Guan Chao said: "Fellow Daoist Qin, can you come with us and find a secluded place so as not to disturb Senior Zhang's Qingxiu? We need to know some details."

"good."

"Then I'll take my leave now. Thank you, senior, for your advice."

Several people left the main hall and came to a room in the rear courtyard.

"This is my house. Fellow Taoist, please take a seat." Qin Qing said, and several people took their seats separately.

Xiao Han said: "Fellow Daoist Qin, we are here to inquire about some details about the attack on Guizong's merchant ship that day. Could you please tell us the details, the more detailed the better."

Qin Qing said: "The whole story, as far as what I witnessed, is actually very simple. We handed over the supplies to Guizong, set off from Xuantang City, and traveled for more than thirty days to reach the Yuanyang Mountains."

"At that time, around Chouchi time, I was on duty on the deck and saw four escaping lights coming from behind. I didn't pay much attention to it at first. It wasn't until they approached the merchant ship and I saw clearly that they were wearing black robes and masks that I felt something was wrong. But it's too late."

"Without saying anything, they took out the magic weapon in their hands and began to attack the merchant ship. We then counterattacked. The shells fired by the merchant ship delayed them for a while, but in the end, in less than a moment of tea, the merchant ship's defensive light curtain was breached."

"We fled in all directions, but they didn't let us go. I was lucky enough to fly all the way to the northwest without being chased."

Guan Chao said: "What magic weapons did the four perpetrators use, and what kind of magical powers did they have?"

Qin Qing replied: "One person uses a golden square boulder, and the attached magical power is to condense a giant binding formation. One person uses a black trident, and the attached magical power is to summon the white spirit giant shark."

"There is also a person who uses a white jade bottle, and the magical power attached to it is a blood-colored prison. Another person uses a blue mirror, but does not know the specific magical power. The figures reflected in the mirror are all dead."

"In addition, one of them has a very tough body. He withstood the mysterious light bomb attack launched by the merchant ship with his body alone. I was deeply impressed."

Xiao Han said: "During your battle, how many kinds of magical powers did they use in total? Can you recognize them?"

The three people took turns to cross-examine them carefully, and Qin Qing answered them one by one.

"So who do you think was responsible for this ambush?"

"It's hard to say. It's possible for anyone."

"It's just a private investigation. It's not a trial of evidence. It doesn't matter if it's wrong."

Qin Qing said hesitantly: "Many people in our sect believe that Fengyun Chamber of Commerce did it, but there is no substantial evidence, it is just private speculation."

"What about you? Do you think it could be them?"

"It's hard to say. Maybe someone knows about the friction between us and the Fengyun Chamber of Commerce and deliberately provokes it. This kind of thing has never happened before."

"Are there any survivors of other merchant ships here?"

"No more. I am the only one serving here."

"Is there a Fengyun Chamber of Commerce store here?"

"No, ours is a private boundary built by some cultivating families and various sects. There is no chamber of commerce to join."

"Okay, thank you fellow Taoist for your cooperation. I'll take my leave."

The three people left the management office, and after some discussion, they decided to go back to Rhinoceros Mountain to meet with Xue Jian and others.

………………

In the spacious room, everyone from the direct team gathered together, and Guan Chao was chatting, reporting to Xue Jian and Jiang Yuan the clues the three of them had obtained this time.

"Although the monks of the Xiaoxian Sect did not say it explicitly, they all implied that the ambush was carried out by the Fengyun Chamber of Commerce. The disciples believe that we can start investigating the Fengyun Chamber of Commerce."

"Yes." Xue Jian nodded slightly, looked at Zhang Xu and said, "What did your group discover?"

Zhang Xu stood up and replied: "The disciples were ordered to go to the Yuanyang Mountains to investigate. They met several disciples of the Xiaoxian Sect. They were visiting and investigating the monks who were passing by. The disciples started searching with them."

"After several days of visits, we found four monks who passed by the Yuanyang Mountains during Chouyin that day. We asked them one by one. One of them claimed that he saw an unnumbered merchant ship sailing to the southeast. The disciples all agreed that this was The unnumbered merchant ship was probably the warship that helped the perpetrators steal our goods that day."

"Currently, several monks from the Xiaoxian Sect are still searching for witnesses and clues about the warship along the southeastern direction of the Yuanyang Mountains. The disciples will come back first to answer their orders."

Xue Jiandao: "From this point of view, the situation is already obvious. There is no doubt that Fengyun Chamber of Commerce is the most suspicious. After understanding by Junior Brother Jiang and I, Xiaoxian Sect has actually sent personnel to secretly investigate the branch of Fengyun Chamber of Commerce in this city. It has been It’s almost impossible to find out.”

"It's just that there is no conclusive evidence and the Xiaoxian Sect is weak, so they have been tolerant and have not reciprocated retaliation against the Fengyun Chamber of Commerce branch in this city. They hope that we will come forward to seek justice. After all, this matter has nothing to do with us. "

"I want to report the progress to the headquarters first. As for the next step, I will wait for the command to be replied by the headquarters. You have worked hard these days to investigate, so go and rest first!"

"yes."

Several people stood up and responded, leaving the main hall and returning to their rooms.
