Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Time passed by in the blink of an eye. During this period, Tang Ning was still responsible for assisting in the investigation of Zhang Shilin. Since there were no major breakthrough clues, he spent most of his time in Liangwu Camp.

At night, while he was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, there was a knock on the door outside. As the stone door opened, Zhang Quan walked in from the outside, bowed to him and said, "Senior Tang, this junior has just received an intelligence message about Zhang Shilin. ”

"Oh? Did you find anything?" Tang Ning asked calmly, not caring at all.

Zhang Shilin has been dead for several years, so any information available is mostly based on speculation.

"It is said that someone saw a strange phenomenon in the sea near the place where Lu Tao, a member of the Human Chamber of Commerce, was killed, and saw a late-stage integrated monk in robes and fighting passing by. We suspect that this person may be Zhang Shilin."

After hearing this, Tang Ning was a little surprised. Was there something strange in the sea near the place where Lu Tao was killed? Could it be caused by that independent space?

It's not impossible. Zhang Shilin doesn't have the Boundary Breaking Pearl, but he can freely enter and exit the independent space. He must have mastered some kind of method. Perhaps there is a hidden mechanism array in the space passage, just like the independent space where Ding Jianyang hides.

Could it be that other people in the Abandoned Land discovered that Zhang Shilin was dead and came to look for him, thus opening the space channel and causing the abnormal phenomenon to be noticed?

Inferring from this, the late-stage integration monk who appeared in the Cangming Sea with trembling robes must be a returnee from the abandoned land who came to check on the situation.

However, Zhang Shilin once said that those who returned from the abandoned land were scattered to various counties to find space passages to the fairy world, and neither of them knew where the other was hiding.

From this point of view, Zhang Shilin's original words contained a lot of concealment and misleading.

After thinking for a while, Tangning asked in a deep voice, "Please tell me carefully what is going on."

Zhang Quan said: "The person who discovered this vision was a casual cultivator. It is understood that this person's surname is Bao Mingjun, and he is an influential alchemist among the casual cultivators in Liangzhou. His initial cultivation level was a few months ago. When passing through the Nether Sea, he saw a sharp fluctuation in a space in the distance, so he went to check it out, and saw a late-stage Fusion monk wearing a robe and a sword coming from there. "

"The wanted order for Zhang Shilin's arrest has been distributed to various forces in Liangzhou. This person naturally knows about this. When he saw the monk in robes and fighting, he guessed that it might be Zhang Shilin. He was worried about getting into trouble, so Escape quickly."

"After returning to Liangzhou, he told his casual cultivator friends about the matter. Soon, the disciples responsible for the investigation got the news."

Tangning nodded: "Fellow Daoist Guan is aware of this, right? What instructions does he have? Has he arranged for personnel to be arrested?"

"Senior Tang, Uncle Guan went to the headquarters of the Human Chamber of Commerce to participate in the coordination and discussion of supplies for the Liangzhou coalition forces. He has not returned yet."

"Let's do this! Let's go to the field to check the specific situation."

Tangning didn't hesitate and made her decision immediately.

Regardless of whether the vision was caused by the independent space there, he had to verify it with his own eyes before he could feel at ease. If that independent space had been exposed, it would definitely lead to exploration by all forces.

………

The sun was shining high, there were no clouds in the sky, the sea was calm, and high in the sky, three figures passed by quickly.

The leader was none other than Tang Ning, and the two people who escaped behind him were both disciples of the Taoist Sect. In addition to Zhang Quan, there was also a disciple who was responsible for investigating the matter, Sun Hui, who was the provider of this information.

Soon, the three of them came to the reef where Lu Tao was killed.

"Fellow Daoist Sun, as far as you know, where did the strange phenomenon occur?" Tang Ning looked around and asked.

"I don't know the specific location. I learned about this from a casual cultivator friend of Bao Jun. I originally wanted to find Bao Jun to find out the situation, but he is a casual cultivator who lives all over the world and is not in Fufeng recently. County, I don’t know where he went.”

"In that case, let's split up and look around." Tang Ning said as she wanted to separate the two of them and head to the space passage alone.

"Yes." Both of them nodded.

At this moment, Tang Ning's expression suddenly changed and she suddenly turned her head to look east.

The two of them saw that his expression suddenly became serious, and neither of them knew why. Zhang Quan asked: "Senior Tang, what's wrong with you?"

"Get away." Tangning finished her words when the whole world suddenly started spinning like a windmill. Before Zhang Quan and Sun Hui could realize what was going on, their bodies began to rotate involuntarily with the world.

For just a moment, the upside-down world stood still, and two dazzling red lights erupted from Tangning's eyes.

The space was instantly frozen, and the two red rays of light in its eyes seemed to penetrate the sky and the earth, extending to dozens of miles away, and suddenly stopped as if touching the wall.

After a stalemate for a while, the seemingly stable space there was quickly torn apart, and the crack spread to hundreds of feet in the blink of an eye.

And at the moment when the space collapsed, a looming figure appeared there.

Tang Ning withdrew the spiritual power from her eyes, and the two red rays of light that shot out disappeared without a trace in an instant.

At this time, the space dozens of miles away had completely collapsed, and everything within a thousand feet was turned into nothingness, and the aura of terror and destruction within it spread far and wide.

Zhang Quan and Sun Hui looked at each other with shocked expressions. This incident happened suddenly and without warning. The two of them were in the middle of it, as if they had gone through hell. Only then did they realize that a powerful enemy had attacked them.

Sun Hui's throat rolled, and when he was about to ask about the situation, he saw a figure in the distance gradually turning into reality, revealing a middle-aged man with a slender figure, a face as sharp as a knife, and a stern look. He was a mid-level Mahayana cultivator. Because this man is dressed in white clothes that look like snow, giving people a sense of aloofness and independence, like an iceberg that has not bloomed for thousands of years.

"The Ice Phoenix Tribe is proud of the sky." Zhang Quan blurted out, dumbfounded.

Tang Ning frowned slightly and stared closely at the man in white with a stern expression.

After staying in Liangzhou for so many years, he also had some understanding of the demonic forces entrenched in Liang, Yi, Yong, and Bing, especially the Mahayana-level figures among the demonic forces.

The Ice Phoenix Clan is the giant of the demon clan that occupies the southwest of Tianyuan, and is the leader of the demon clan in the southwest.

The status is equivalent to that of the Qingjiao royal family of the Mubei Demon Clan, but the overall strength is stronger than that of the Qingjiao Clan.

The Ice Phoenix clan claims to be descendants of the bloodline of the sacred beast Phoenix, recognized as one of the strongest bloodlines in the world. Their clan has a world-famous innate magical power, which is the immortal power.

The Great Five Elements Reincarnation Technique he learned in his early years evolved from the immortal magical power.

The Bingfeng Clan is entrenched in the Bingzhou area and is the one who orders the heroes of Bingzhou. Aotian is one of the top strong men of the Bingfeng Clan. He did not expect to appear here, and it seems that he came specially for him.

Tang Ning's mind was racing with thoughts, and she quickly thought through what was going on.

If his prediction was correct, the so-called vision information was simply a trap.

It was a carefully planned operation to lure him here. The man behind the scenes was undoubtedly the man in front of him.

It stands to reason that he has been in Qingzhou for a long time and has not been in Liangzhou for many years. He has never had any dealings with the Bingfeng Clan. There has been no enmity between the two parties in the past and there was no grudge between them in the past, so they should not go to such great lengths to lure him here. , engage in a fight to the death with him.

But this strong man from the Ice Phoenix tribe did this. The reason is probably because the secrets in his body aroused his covetousness.

Just the fact that he broke through from the Fusion Realm to the Mahayana Realm in less than six hundred years is enough to shock the entire Tianyuan cultivation world. Everyone wants to know what secrets are hidden in this.

It is said that people are more afraid of being famous than pigs are afraid of being strong, and this is true.

Ever since Tang Ning advanced to the Mahayana realm, he has constantly aroused suspicion and curiosity from others. No matter where he went, there were always people asking him about it. Fortunately, he has always been on the Xuanmen territory, whether in Qingzhou, Liangzhou or... Those who secretly covet Tianyuan City and have ulterior motives care about their identity and can only ask a few questions at most.

But the Monster Clan doesn't have so many scruples. Although the war between Xuanmen and the Monster Clan has stopped due to the invasion of the Demon Clan, the two sides are still in a hostile relationship.

Tang Ning felt a little cold in her heart. She was still too careless. She didn't expect that someone would make a fuss about this matter and set up a trap to invite you to the urn.

It must be that he showed extraordinary enthusiasm for Zhang Shilin and took personal care of everything, which made the Bingfeng tribe feel strange and felt that there was an opportunity to take advantage of him, so he set up this trap and led himself to this inaccessible Cangming sea area.

If he had stayed in Liangzhou, no matter how curious and interested the Bingfeng clan was about his secrets, they would not be able to go directly to Liangzhou to find trouble for him.

Looking back on the whole incident, it was obvious that the Ice Phoenix Clan had planned this in advance.

Before that, they must have obtained a large amount of reliable information and made careful plans and arrangements. They knew that they were extremely concerned about Zhang Shilin, and they also knew that they had personally visited the place where Lu Tao was killed to look for clues.

So he used this as bait, and took advantage of Guan Yue's absence in Liang Wuying to spread false news that there was a strange phenomenon here. The purpose was to avoid other variables and prevent Guan Yue from coming with him.

And this place itself is an excellent ambush location. It is far away from Liangzhou and the Human Chamber of Commerce. There will be no strong reinforcements from the Liangzhou coalition forces in a short time.

In fact, this matter was a mistake. The rumor of the Ice Phoenix tribe's wandering hit Tangning's heart like a blind cat encountering a dead mouse.

Only he knew that there really was an independent space here, and Zhang Shilin was hiding in it, so as soon as he heard the news, he immediately came to investigate in person.

If the rumors fabricated by the Ice Phoenix Clan were from other places, he would definitely not come to investigate in person.

As for what role the Dao De Sect disciples played in the whole incident, whether they were simply deceived by others, or whether they consciously acted as internal agents of the Ice Phoenix Clan, it is hard to say now.

Tang Ning turned her head and looked at Sun Hui, because he was the one who provided this information.

"Senior Tang, I..." Sun Hui's face turned pale. Of course he understood what was going on. When he saw Tang Ning's stern gaze, he hurriedly explained.

Before he could say anything, Tangning waved his hand to interrupt him. Now was not the time to hold him accountable: "You go first, this person is not something you can deal with."

Zhang Quan responded immediately: "Senior, take care. I will go back to Liangzhou to report the matter to the senior leaders of the coalition forces and ask them to send reinforcements."

After he said that, he looked at each other and Sun Hui, and the two of them flashed and fled towards the back in two directions. (End of chapter)
