Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Outside the hall, two rays of light came towards him. The leader was an old man with slightly white temples wearing the costume of the Mirror Moon Sect. He bowed his head with a smile and said, "Fellow Taoist Sima, it's been a long time since we've seen each other. I'm sorry to bother you. Don’t be offended.”

"Fellow Daoist Jiang is here. If you don't know how to greet me from afar, please come quickly." Sima Feng returned the greeting and the two of them entered the inner room and sat down separately.

Jiang Jin said: "Fellow Taoist Sima, we have been friends for many years. Let me get straight to the point. I came to talk to your mansion on the order of the Xuanmen Alliance of Donglai County. The Xuanmen Alliance of Donglai County has already decided We have formed an alliance with the Liu family, and a formal announcement will be issued soon. Today, our sect gathered the elites of various sects and divided their forces to capture the resources of Taixuan Sect in this county. "

"Taixuanzong's Fourth Army Corps was defeated and had no power to resist. It fled in the face of the wind. Even the headquarters of the Fourth Army Corps stationed at Yuxiang Mountain in Donglai County fled back to its alliance army for shelter."

"Now that all the resources originally occupied by Taixuanzong have been occupied by us, the next step is naturally to take action against its alliance forces and completely drive Taixuanzong and Jiang Chang's forces out of Donglai County."

"In this case, the situation of your mansion is very worrying. You were fighting against Jiang Chang and Taixuan Zong before, and you also sent many of your children to their alliance to fight against the coalition of aristocratic families in this county led by the Liu family."

"Fellow Taoist Sima should understand that with the current situation, Taixuanzong and Jiang Chang's family will definitely not be able to stay in Donglai County. Where should your mansion go? Without Donglai County, your mansion will be like a grass without roots. Sooner or later, there will be a rootless grass." One day withers and dies.”

"Now there is only one way in front of your house. Change your evil ways in time and return to the right path. You will be able to turn back and find a safe place."

"Originally, the Liu family had great objections to your mansion, but considering your mansion's influence in Yuanxian County, our sect decided to give your mansion another chance, so I sent me here, otherwise I would have come here today. It’s the Xuanmen Alliance’s army.”

"This sect knows that your mansion actually does not want to get involved with Taixuanzong and Jiang Chang's faction, but was forced to join their alliance. After all, your strength is limited. Faced with the pressure of Jiang Chang and Taixuanzong, There really isn’t much bargaining power to resist.”

"Even our sect is under great pressure if we want to maintain our position of being on the fence."

"It is precisely for this reason that our sect tried our best to persuade the Liu family to give your family another chance to choose. This opportunity is not available to everyone."

"The alliance of aristocratic families led by the Liu family has been fighting for so long, and those cultivating aristocratic families have sacrificed so much. Isn't it just that after they win, they can share your territory and devour your resources to enrich themselves?"

"We were looking at a chance to win, but in the end we got nothing. No one else would do it."

"The Liu family has already announced that in addition to the four county-level jurisdictions they have occupied, Donglai County will only accept the surrender of three B-class families and twenty C-class families at most. "

"The number of places is limited, Fellow Taoist Sima. If your government hesitates, you will still be on both ends. After these few days, even if you want to surrender, you will have no chance. Think about it!"

There was a brief silence in the hall. Sima Feng sat on the throne, but his expression was a little unnatural, and his eyes flickered slightly. However, Jiang Jin was there as an old god, as if he was the master of this place. After he finished speaking, he did not rush to ask questions, and tapped his fingers. Stone chair arms.

After a while, Sima Feng slowly opened his mouth and said: "Thank you Jiang Daoyou for sending such crucial help to our government at this time. To be honest, our government has been dissatisfied with Tai Xuanzong and Jiang Chang for a long time. As early as the Liu family's uprising, At the beginning, there were many discussions in the government, and many people wanted to follow the Liu family and completely get rid of the constraints of the Jiang family. "

"Just because our government is based in Yuanxian County, and this county is in the hands of Taixuanzong, our government is afraid that if something goes wrong, Taixuanzong will quickly dispatch troops to annihilate us with thunderous force, so we finally chose to endure it and Under his coercion, he had no choice but to send some personnel to join the alliance, which was a helpless move. "

"Today I heard that Guizong led the Xuanmen uprising in this county. Just now, I secretly discussed the matter with the people in the mansion. I already had the intention of joining your ministry, but I didn't expect Jiang Daoyouhui to come so quickly."

"Since fellow Taoist leader raised this matter, I won't beat around the bush. I dare to ask, friend, if my government surrenders to your ministry, how will your ministry arrange for us?"

Jiang Jin smiled and said: "Of course we are very welcome to a family of practitioners who abandon the darkness and turn to the light, but the specific allocation of resources is not something I can decide."

"If your government can wake up in time and make meritorious deeds in the future, we will definitely not treat you badly. No matter how the situation in Donglai County changes in the future, how many cultivating families in Yuanxian County are exterminated, and how many upstart cultivating families squeeze into Yuanxian County, One thing can be guaranteed, your mansion’s status in Yuanxian County is still high, and the cultivation resources your mansion controls will not be affected at all.”

"If you can make a great contribution in annihilating Taixuanzong and Jiang Chang's clan, the coalition forces will of course reward your house in accordance with the corresponding regulations. The extent to which your house can expand its territorial power ultimately depends on how much effort your house will make in the future. I won’t go into detail in this section about how many feats he has performed for the Alliance Army.”

"However, if your family is stubborn and insists on going its own way, and you want to be buried with Taixuanzong and Jiang Chang, you can't blame this sect for being unkind."

"That's it for Jiang. Please give me an answer, fellow Taoist! The higher ups are still waiting for my return."

Sima Feng said: "Our government is naturally willing to fight side by side with your sect, but for such a big matter, fellow Daoist Jiang must give us some time to prepare."

"Fellow Taoist also knows that there are still some people in our mansion serving in the Taixuanzong coalition. If they suddenly announce their rebellion against the coalition, there is no guarantee that they will not take action against the children who serve in our mansion, and I also need to discuss it with other people in the mansion. , unify everyone’s opinions.”

"I hope fellow Taoist Jiang, for the sake of our long-standing friends, can say a few good words to your sect and give him some more time."

Jiang Jin sneered and said, "Fellow Taoist, shouldn't this be a delaying tactic? When our sect relaxes a little, we can turn around and lead the disciples of your family to Taixuan Sect!"

"Jiang Daoyou is joking. Now most of the entire Donglai County has fallen into the hands of Guizong. The defeat of the alliance between Taixuanzong and Jiang Chang has been determined. Even a teenage child knows how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and has an insight into the general trend. Our government What are the benefits of going to Taixuanzong? If people can run away, can those resource-controlled areas also have long legs and run away together? "

"If fellow Taoist is worried, I will go with you to see the senior noble sect. There are so many properties and disciples in our government, and if they suddenly have to change their banners, we must make all kinds of plans, otherwise it will be easy to cause trouble."

"In that case, okay!" Jiang Jin stood up and said, "For this reason, fellow Taoist Sima, I can't push you too hard, so I'll give you seven days to make plans. After seven days, I hope to see you. The sincerity of the government. I will wait for you at Fengyue Mountain. If you don’t show up by then, it will mean that we have an enemy.”

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Jiang. I'll send you off to Fellow Daoist Jiang." Sima Feng stood up immediately, and the two of them left the hall. He turned his hand over and took out a stone box with simple patterns: "Fellow Daoist, you have worked tirelessly to contribute to the affairs of our government. I am very grateful to you for running around. I hope you will not refuse this small gift. From now on, I hope that fellow Taoist Jiang will give me some kind words for my family."

Jiang Jin took the stone box, opened it and took a look, with a smile on his face: "Fellow Taoist Sima is too polite. I understand the situation in your house. You are forced to join the Taixuan Sect Alliance out of help. Don't worry, I will definitely do it." I will try my best to fight for you in front of this sect. Fellow Taoist, please stay, I will take my leave."

When Sima Feng saw him disappearing away, the smile on his face gradually turned cold, and he returned to the hall with a cold snort.
