Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Chen Jin was expressionless: "I will send someone to investigate this matter. If it is true as you said, it will be dealt with impartially."

"Okay, okay, okay." Xiao Ting put his hands on his hands and said with a smile: "Xuanye Sect is a well-known and upright sect. I believe that we will not tolerate such dirty people who have no regard for the laws and regulations of your sect. However, I heard that Xu Yongdao, the deacon of the Supervision Department of your sect, You are the son of Xu Zhenliang, the master of your sect’s secret academy, so you won’t be too embarrassed by it, Daoyou Chen!”

Chen Jin said coldly: "My sect's affairs don't bother Taoist Xiao."

"Just now, Fellow Daoist Chen said that he would send someone to investigate this matter. I happen to have a ready-made witness here who should be able to help Fellow Daoist bring the person up." Xiao Ting turned around and gave instructions to the accompanying Nether Sea monks.

"Yes." The man took the order and left. Not long after, a bearded and early-stage Jindan monk came here.

"This is the killer assigned by Yuan Haoran to hunt down Xin Zhilei and his daughter. He was originally a monk recruited by Jinshanling. His surname is Zhang Mingjian. He is Yuan Haoran's brother-in-law and a confidant of Yuan Haoran."

Xiao Ting said: "Zhang Jian, tell Headmaster Chen how Yuan Haoran coveted the Jinshanling Spiritual Mine Spiritual Stone, and how he instigated you to hunt down Xin Zhilei and his daughter?"

The man was obviously restrained in his body and looked tired and weak. After hearing this, he raised his eyes and looked at Chen Jin. Seeing that his face was as dark as water, he quickly lowered his head.

You could hear a needle drop in the hall. The man lowered his head and said nothing. After a while, Xiao Ting smiled slightly and said, "It seems that you are unwilling to open your mouth, so bring the things."

The Nether Sea monk on the side turned over his hands, took out a note and a file and handed them to him.

Xiao Ting took the note and pointed it toward it, and a voice came out.

It was the interrogation confession of Zhang Jian by the Netherworld monk. The whole interrogation only had a tea break. During this period, Zhang Jian truthfully confessed all the facts about Yuan Haoran's corruption of Mo Ling Mine, and the bribery of Xu Yonghe, the deacon of the Supervision Department, to hunt down Xin Zhilei under Yuan Haoran's instructions.

"Master Chen, this is Zhang Jian's confession file. It has his signature. I believe it will be helpful to your investigation." Xiao Ting handed him the file in his hand.

"Fellow Taoist, you really have good intentions." Chen Jin took the file with an expressionless face.

"Your sect has an alliance with us. This is what we should do. Master Chen doesn't need to thank you. It's over now. I've eaten and drank enough. It's time to leave." Xiao Ting stood up and said, "Fellow Taoists, see you later. ”

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, stay here," Chen Jin said.

"What's wrong with Master Chen?"

"I wonder what the relationship is between this Taoist friend Xin Zhilei and your organization?"

"Fellow Daoist Xin has nothing to do with our headquarters. We just met by chance. A brother from Japan was passing by and saw Daoist Xin being chased by Zhang Jian, so he rescued him. Later he learned the whole story and reported it to me. Therefore, Today I brought her here to meet Headmaster Chen, hoping that Guizong can give her justice."

"Since Fellow Daoist Xin is not a member of your organization and is a key figure in this case, our sect would like to ask Fellow Daoist Xin to stay and assist us in our investigation. Fellow Daoist Xiao will not object, right?"

Xiao Ting looked at the woman and asked, "Fellow Daoist Xin, are you willing to stay and cooperate with Xuanye Sect's investigation?"

"The juniors hope to follow the seniors."

"Headmaster Chen, you have heard it. It's not that I don't agree, it's that I don't want to stay here. Let's go!"

"I'm afraid it's not up to you, Fellow Daoist Xiao." Chen Jin said calmly. His consciousness had locked onto the woman. At the same time, several Xuanye Sect disciples also flashed, blocking the way to the left and right.

Xiao Ting said calmly: "What does Master Chen mean by this? Do you want to force me to stay? Is this the way your sect treats guests?"

"Fellow Daoist Xiao is here to celebrate his birthday, and of course no one will stop him from leaving. But Fellow Daoist Xin Zhilei is here to avenge his father, not to mention that it involves internal matters within our sect. Fellow Daoist Xiao also said before that this fellow Daoist Xin is not from your organization. A member of the sect, why shouldn’t we keep her here to assist in the investigation? If Fellow Daoist Xiao wants to take care of this, is he stretching his hand too far?”

"What if I have to take her away today! Does Master Chen want to force Xiao to stay?"

As soon as Xiao Ting finished speaking, spiritual energy surged in the hall, and the spiritual energy swirled around him, forming a hurricane-like spiritual vortex.

"Fellow Taoist, you may not be too arrogant. Although our sect is small, we are not a place where others can break in and leave whenever they want."

Chen Jin did not give in at all, and a hurricane-like vortex of spiritual power surged around his body.

The two people looked at each other, and the vortex of spiritual power on their bodies grew larger and larger. Some desks nearby were swept by the vortex of spiritual power and turned into powder in the blink of an eye.

Everyone present did not move, but spiritual shields had already surged around their bodies. Seeing that the vortex around the two people was about to occupy the entire hall, the two sides were about to collide, and the battle was about to break out.

Jiang Xinquan took action. He took out a large golden cigarette stick, took a puff, and exhaled a cloud of white smoke. The white smoke enveloped the spiritual vortex of the two people who were about to collide.

Then the vortex of spiritual power penetrated into the pipe along with the white smoke like a funnel.

Jiang Xinquan took another drag on the cigarette rod, put it aside, and said with a smile: "You two fellow Taoists, please don't get angry. Just listen to my words."

Hearing this, Chen Jin took the initiative to put away all his spiritual power. Xuanye Sect was a small sect after all. The reason why Chen Jin and Xiao Ting were so tit-for-tat was that they arrived here in a hurry and could not fall in public. In order to gain fame, the two were angry with Xiao Ting for disrupting his birthday.

To put it bluntly, the main thing is to save face and fight for a breath.

In terms of strength, Xuanye Sect and the organization Nether Sea are not at the same level at all. Although Xuanye Sect is also a Xuanmen organization, it is an independent sect after all.

The Jingyuanting Netherworld Sea Branch is a direct subordinate of the Netherworld Sea Organization. If they really want to fight, Xuanye Sect will definitely not be able to gain favor.

Therefore, as soon as Chen Jin saw Jiang Xinquan's intervention, he immediately borrowed the donkey from Poxia.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, today is the occasion of the thousand-year-old birthday of Master Chen. Since you are here to celebrate his birthday, why do you need to get into such a big fight? We can just discuss it if we can. Your organization and I, Qingzhou Xuanmen, are allies. If you act on your own initiative, , but it’s your fault for destroying the alliance.”

After Xiao Ting heard this, he also put away his spiritual power: "It's not that I am making trouble unreasonably. All of you fellow Taoists have just seen it. Xuanye Sect wants to force me to be detained. Is this how Xuanye Sect treats its allies? Is this the way Xuanye Sect treats its allies?" Fellow Taoist Chen Jin’s way of hospitality?”

"Fellow Daoists, it is clear to me, when should I force Daoist Fellow Xiao to stay? Fellow Daoist Xiao can leave at any time, but this Miss Xin is involved in a major case of our sect, so she has to stay and assist in the investigation."

"I brought people here, so naturally I have to take them away."

The two were tit for tat.

"Two fellow Taoists, please be patient. Fellow Taoist Xiao, since you brought Miss Xin to redress your grievances, you naturally have to ask Miss Xin to cooperate with the Xuanye Sect's investigation. It makes no sense to take her away like this." Tang Ning suddenly said: "Fellow Daoist Xin , let me ask you, what is the purpose of your coming here? "

"This junior naturally wants Xuanye Sect to avenge my father."

"The murderer of your father has been caught. If you wanted revenge, you could have taken action long ago. Why wait until now?"

"Senior, Zhang Jian was hired to kill people. The real masterminds behind the scenes are Yuan Haoran and Xu Yong. If I kill Zhang Jian rashly, there will be no evidence, and Yuan Haoran and Xu Yong can live freely forever."

"So you actually hope that Yuan Haoran and Xu Yong will be severely punished. You went to the Xuanye Sect to put on such a show on the occasion of Master Chen's thousandth birthday with great fanfare. This is also for this purpose, right?"

"yes."

"Since you hope that Xuanye Sect will uphold justice for you, but you have no trust in Xuanye Sect at all, isn't this a contradiction? The notes and files you provided are just one-sided words. Besides, Zhang Jian is now in your hands. It’s unclear whether he was coerced or not. You want Xuanye Sect to convict its disciples based on just such a piece of paper. This is totally unjustifiable.”

Tang Ning looked at Xiao Ting and asked, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, I would like to ask, if I were to find a random person to take a confession now, saying that it was a disciple of your organization who took something by force, would you directly convict him without any trial or investigation? Woolen cloth?"

Xiao Ting glanced at him: "Fellow Taoist Tang is really sharp-tongued."

"This is not about words, but about reason. I believe that everyone here is a reasonable person." Tang Ning said calmly: "Miss Xin, if you are really determined to avenge your father, then you should stay and cooperate with Xuanye Zong’s investigation.”

"You keep saying that you want to avenge my father, but your actions are completely different. You have no intention of avenging my father. If you don't stay and cooperate with the investigation, how can you guarantee that Xuanye Sect will handle this matter fairly?"

"With all due respect, what you did today was just to deliberately embarrass Headmaster Chen and the Xuanye Sect through the power of the Netherworld Sea Organization."

Xin Zhilei was speechless for a while and said after a moment of silence: "Senior Mingjian, Xu Yong is the son of Xu Zhenliang of Xuanye Sect. I am just worried that if I stay, I will be assassinated by them, so I don't dare to stay in Xuanye Sect."

"Since Xuanye Sect asks you to stay and cooperate with the investigation, we can naturally guarantee your safety, Headmaster Chen, right?"

Chen Jin immediately replied: "Of course, no matter what the result of the investigation is, our sect can completely guarantee Miss Xin's safety. After the investigation is completed, Miss Xin can leave at any time."

"Fellow Daoist Xin, do you have any other concerns?"

Xin Zhilei looked at Xiao Ting and saw that he didn't express anything. After thinking for a while, she said: "This junior is willing to stay in Xuanye Sect to cooperate with the investigation."

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, now that Miss Xin has voluntarily stayed to cooperate with the Xuanye Sect in investigating the murder of her father, do you want to force her to leave?" Tang Ning asked.

As the chief of Taixuanzong's residence in the Jingyuan Pavilion, he is the representative of Taixuanzong in this pavilion, both internally and externally.

At this critical moment, especially when it came to the conflict between the Nether Sea Organization and the local Xuanmen, he had to clearly state his position and attitude, so his words were obviously biased towards the Xuanye Sect.
