Chronicles of Celestial Origins

A few dozen days passed by in a flash, and around midnight on the same day, Tang Ning opened her eyes while sitting cross-legged, stood up and left the cave, and soon she came to the meeting hall directly under the Sixth Team.

Inside, Zhang Chaoyang, Lu Fang, Yu Yan, and Jiang Tianyuan were already sitting and chatting.

After Tangning entered, she nodded with a few people and took a seat next to Jiang Tianyuan.

"Junior brother Tang, why haven't I seen you participating in our team's meetings recently?" Lu Fang asked with a smile.

"Some personal matters have been delayed."

"Maybe it's a secret mission of the headquarters!"

Tangning smiled and said nothing.

Seeing his expression, Yu Yan asked curiously: "You are really on a mission! It took so long? I don't know why. Can Junior Brother Tang tell me something?"

"Some trivial matters are not worth mentioning." Tangning hesitated and changed the subject: "What were the senior brothers talking about just now! I was listening to your discussion from afar."

Lu Fang said: "Something happened in our headquarters recently. Junior Brother Tang must have never heard of it! A Xuanyuan ship transporting supplies from the second team of the fourth team was robbed."

"Someone hijacked the ship?"

"Not only was the ship robbed, the second team, Jin Qianyuan, Wang Zixing, and Tian Yuan, were all killed."

Hearing his words, Tang Ning was slightly shocked. Taixuanzong was one of the four great sects, and everyone in the world knew about it. She didn't expect that in Xuantang City, there would be people who dared to kill and loot so blatantly.

Generally speaking, even if there are differences and conflicts between sects, they will not kill their monks. After all, killing and robbing are two different things.

If the goods are robbed, the conflict is resolved and the goods are returned, everyone can pretend that nothing happened. But if someone is killed, it will be different and the matter will become serious.

Just like when the alliance organized manpower to launch an ambush against the Chamber of Commerce, they only focused on looting goods and did not deliberately kill the monks of the Chamber of Commerce, let alone the famous Taixuan Sect.

The other party is trying his best! The rhythm of the fight must not be as simple as the differences and conflicts between sects.

"When did it happen? Has it been found out?"

"Three months ago, although the murderer was found, he still has no trace."

"Oh? What do you mean?"

"The perpetrator is Jiang Huaiyi, a daughter of the Jiang family."

"A child of the Jiang family? Why did she want to rob and kill the disciples of the Jiang family?"

Yu Yan said: "This is a long story. This Jiang Huaiyi is a steward assigned to the city by the Jiang family. It is rumored that she has a relationship with Uncle Zheng Tong, the captain of the fourth team and the second team of the headquarters."

"What kind of relationship?" Zhang Chaoyang interrupted: "Let's just say it! It was Master Zheng Tong who deceived her feelings with his sweet words. It turned out that Master Zheng was already engaged to be married. As a result, Jiang Huaiyi became resentful and killed Master Zheng Tong. ”

"I heard that Jiang Huaiyi has quite a background. Thinking about how he has been pampered since he was a child, can he bear this tone?"

"Uncle Zheng, it's true. You said he doesn't want to find anyone, but he messes with people like this. Can they be allowed to be manipulated and coaxed by him? It's really harmful to others and himself."

"It is a pity that Jin Qianyuan, Wang Zixing, and Tian Yuan suffered such an unreasonable disaster and lost their lives in vain."

Tang Ning asked curiously: "What kind of cultivation level does Jiang Huaiyi have?"

"I heard that when I fell in love with Master Zheng, I was still in the late stage of Jindan. Now I have reached the middle stage of Nascent Soul. I only broke through recently."

"This woman holds a grudge too much. She still remembers the incident after so long. She has been holding back until now just for revenge. I guess she wishes that Uncle Zheng would be cut into pieces by a thousand swords."

"Let me tell you, why bother? You have already had a baby successfully, you have worked hard to reach this point, and you are on the right path, but you still can't let go of a man. You have to get rid of him quickly, which ultimately harms yourself."

"If she could be as open-minded as you, Junior Brother Yu, she wouldn't have done what she did today."

Tang Ning asked: "Since she hated Master Zheng so much, why did she kill Jin Qianyuan, Wang Zixing, and Tian Yuan?"

"Why else? There are loves and crows in this world, and naturally there are hates and crows. She actually wanted to chop up Senior Brother Zheng! Unexpectedly, he escaped, so in anger, she took out Senior Brother Jin and the others to vent her anger."

"Uncle Zheng is not simple! He can actually escape from the hands of a monk in the middle stage of Nascent Soul."

With Zheng Tong's Yuan Ying's initial cultivation level, the other party came well prepared and was able to escape from the clutches, which shows the exquisiteness of his magical power.

"Although I saved my life, it may not be much better. Master Zheng was seriously injured when he escaped and he will probably be punished by the headquarters."

"The person who killed and robbed was Jiang Huaiyi. What does it have to do with him? Why should he be punished?"

"How come it has nothing to do with him? If he hadn't been in trouble and finally gave up, then how could Jiang Huaiyi come to seek revenge? It can be said that he was the culprit for the deaths of Jin Qianyuan, Wang Zixing, and Tian Yuan. What's more, as the second Team leader, now that the goods are lost and people are dead, he himself will bear some responsibility. "

Yu Yan said: "I cannot agree with what Senior Brother Lu said. These are completely different things. As the captain of the second team, Senior Uncle Zheng Tong was responsible for escorting the supplies. The task was not completed, resulting in the loss of goods and the death and injury of disciples. He has to bear this part of the responsibility." . At best, it will just be a failure in doing things. At most, some merit rewards will be deducted and a few years of confinement will be imposed."

"But there is no reason to put the responsibility for murder and looting on him. The grudges between him and Jiang Huaiyi are private matters. Jiang Huaiyi's behavior of killing people and looting is completely due to his madness. How can Master Zheng Tong be held responsible? This part of the responsibility?”

"That's right. Master Zheng Tong must be held responsible for dereliction of duty, but it doesn't make sense to impose the responsibility of killing people and stealing goods on him. If it is inferred in this way, if the leader of the party has any enemies who come to take revenge, wouldn't it mean that he has to bear all the responsibility? responsibility?"

Tang Ning asked: "Then what happened to Jiang Huaiyi? Is he just getting away with it?"

"After the incident happened, Director Fang personally went to the Jiang family to ask for someone. As a result, they said that Jiang Huaiyi was missing. Director Fang issued a wanted order and sent out teams to search the city. After searching for half a month, there was no trace of Jiang Huaiyi. Find her, so I have to give up!"

Yu Yan snorted coldly: "It is 100% that the Jiang family hid the person. This Xuantang City is not big or small. If we really want to find it, although it is troublesome, it is not difficult to find, let alone the city." There are guards at the entrance and exit, so she can't escape from the city. There are psychic eyes monitoring her in many places, so how can she not find her!"

"The Jiang family must have hid her. They may have secretly sent her out of the city as soon as possible. Now I don't know where she is or where to look for her."

Tang Ning said, "His descendants of the Jiang family killed our people? Is this the end of the matter?"

"What else can we do? We can't find anyone, so we can't go to war with them! The Jiang family only paid a sum of spiritual stones as compensation for this."

Several people were talking about it. After about a quarter of an hour, Yu Qian came in from the outside and went to the main seat to sit down. He looked solemn and said.

"There are two things today. The first one is information about Junior Brother Su Mingcheng of our team. The former Junior Brother Su disappeared while performing a secret mission assigned by the regiment. It has been confirmed that Junior Brother Su was unfortunately killed."

As soon as these words came out, there was a moment of silence in the room. Several people looked at each other with shock in their eyes.

Secret mission, Xuantang City is as peaceful as water under the rule of Xuanmen, what secret mission can there be? He actually caused a Nascent Soul cultivator to evaporate from the world.

Su Mingcheng has an eccentric personality, a bad temper and a tough temper. He always acts like everyone else is drunk and I am alone. This is really annoying, and his relationship with the rest of the team is not so harmonious.

But after all, he was a Nascent Soul cultivator. How could he disappear so mysteriously? No matter how annoying he was, after all, they had been together for so long, and there was no conflict of interest between the two parties. A living person suddenly disappeared like this. , a few people were shocked, and even more confused.

Tang Ning's mind was spinning with thoughts. After experiencing the initial shock and confusion, she couldn't help but feel a little frightened when she thought about it further.

He recalled what Su Yuanhua had said back then, that there were a hundred ways for him to die for the sect justifiably without taking any responsibility.

One hundred kinds may be an exaggeration, but he was definitely capable of doing this. For him, just one word could kill him. At that time, Tang Ning had no doubt at all.

And now Su Mingcheng's death has undoubtedly confirmed this. The first thing Tangning thought of was not a secret mission, but a murder.

This was a conspiracy by Yu Gan to persecute Su Mingcheng. Su Mingcheng had always been cynical and did not respect Yu Gan very much. He would often get up and leave during discussions and never take him seriously.

Yu Gan didn't seem to care about this on the surface, but it was just that his palace was relatively deep and invisible, and in his heart he might have been completely fed up with Su Mingcheng.

This can be seen from Yu Gan's attitude towards Su Mingcheng. Ever since Yu Gan became the captain of the direct sixth team, Su Mingcheng has almost never been given a mission opportunity, including the annual quota for the Spirit Gathering Formation, and he has never had a share.

Su Mingcheng has a stubborn temper and has no attitude of submission. He often speaks ill of Yu Gan in some public places, including complaining about the unfairness of the sect, the corruption of the system, etc.

Even similar words were said more than once in front of several people, but they could only pretend they didn't hear them.

And he seemed to have completely let himself go, not caring about any influence at all, and giving up all the benefits he could strive for.

Anyway, the sect gave him a lot of salary. With this idea in mind, he couldn't help but get carried away and openly opposed Yu Qian, not taking him as the captain seriously.

I can't say that Su Mingcheng's death was planned by Yu Qian, but it was definitely related to him. This is obvious.

Otherwise, why is it that he is never seen accepting missions? It is rare that he accepts a mission, but ends up losing his life for it.

This mission must have been extremely dangerous, but Su Mingcheng didn't know it, and was bewitched by Yu Gan's clever words and tricks, and was killed as a result.

Of course, this is just Tang Ning's one-sided conjecture. Only the person involved knows the truth of the matter.

He couldn't say he was happy or sad about Su Mingcheng's death, but he was secretly more wary.

Although the two have been in the same team for so many years, they are just casual acquaintances. Moreover, Su Mingcheng has never looked down upon him, and has been subject to a lot of cynicism from him.

However, his death in this way gave Tang Ning a clearer understanding of the dangers of intrigue within Tai Xuan Sect.

Even a Nascent Soul cultivator died in such an inexplicable way, let alone a Golden Core cultivator. If he really wanted to deal with him, it would be too easy.
