Chronicles of Celestial Origins

"My husband suspects that the Qingjiao tribe did it?"

"Except for them, I can't think of anyone who has this motive. Shang Haoxuan is a cautious man and would not offend a Mahayana monk to the point of killing him, and this high-profile approach is not like Han Siyuan's style. Furthermore, Shang Haoxuan Hao Xuan is not a weakling, and it is impossible to just send a disciple with a combined cultivation level to deal with him quietly. Only the Qingjiao clan has the ability and motivation to do this."

"What do you plan to do, husband?"

"I'll go meet Han Siyuan first, find out his background, and then make a decision."

After leaving the room, Tangning went directly to Han Siyuan's cave. Not long after, a disciple inside led him inside.

"Junior Brother Tang, congratulations!" Han Siyuan walked into the waiting room from the outside with a smile on his face.

"Senior Brother Han." Tang Ning bowed.

"You're welcome, please take a seat. In just four hundred years, Junior Brother Tang has advanced from the early stage of Mahayana to the middle stage of Mahayana. This speed of advancement can be described as shocking. I don't know how many people outside are envious of our sect for having such a genius. Man!" Han Siyuan sat down at the main seat and said with a smile.

"It's all thanks to the great blessings of the sect. Without the support of the sect, I wouldn't be where I am today."

"There is something I don't know whether to ask or not."

"Senior Brother Han, please tell me."

"How did Junior Brother Tang achieve this? He broke through to the middle stage of Mahayana within a few hundred years. If someone hadn't seen it with their own eyes, others would just think it was a fantasy."

"It's just that my luck is slightly better than others."

Tang Ning also knew in her heart that no matter how smooth the matter was, it probably wouldn't be justified unless the other people were fools. If she made some inexplicable excuses, it would be an insult to other people's intelligence.

Fortunately, with his current strength, no one could force him to answer. He didn't want to get entangled in this matter, so he directly stated his purpose: "Senior Brother Han, I came here today to report something."

"What's up?"

"Shang Haoxuan, the owner of a business under the coalition forces, was killed a few days ago and his body was dumped in front of his house. I wonder if Senior Brother Han knows about this?"

"Really? The business owner is dead? Who did it?" Han Siyuan asked calmly.

"I don't know exactly who it is now. Shang Haoxuan and I have been friends for many years. His disciples just came to tell me the news. Didn't Senior Brother Han hear about this?"

"I don't know." Han Siyuan looked at him: "Junior brother Tang has many contacts with merchants. I have heard about it for a long time. I heard that they purchase large amounts of demon elixirs and crystals every year. Does this matter have anything to do with junior brother Tang?"

"Since Senior Brother Han is asking the question, I won't hide it. The merchant did give me a lot of help, and part of the demon elixir crystal they purchased was given to me."

"I wonder what Junior Brother Tang does with so many demonic elixir crystals? I heard that when Junior Brother Tang was fighting against the demons in Qingzhou and Liangzhou, he purchased magic crystals on a large scale on the frontline battlefields? I wonder where they will be used?"

"This is a personal and confidential matter. Please forgive me for not commenting."

Han Siyuan smiled: "The reason why Junior Brother Tang's cultivation has improved so rapidly is related to the large number of demon elixirs and demon crystals purchased. Can I understand this?"

"What you think is other people's business, I can't control it."

"I can understand that everyone has their own secrets, let alone someone as amazing as Junior Brother Tang. No matter what, it is a gratifying and congratulatory thing for Junior Brother Tang to improve his cultivation level. The Qingzhou Allied Forces and the sect are all benefiting and not doing any harm." Han Siyuan looked friendly and kind, with a gentle smile.

"Brother Han, regarding the murder of Shang Haoxuan, I want to investigate. Yu Private, he has been my friend for many years. Yu Gong, he is a member of the Qingzhou United Army and has been supporting the Qingzhou United Army for so many years. Now he is unknown. I can’t just sit back and do nothing if the killing is not in vain.”

"Junior brother Tang is really kind and righteous! Then I will leave this matter to you for investigation. You have to be careful. Shang Haoxuan has a close relationship with you. The murderer may be targeting you. If there is any unexpected situation, you must report it in time Contact the headquarters.”

"Okay, I'll take my leave then." Tangning stood up and left.

Judging from the situation, Shang Haoxuan's death should have nothing to do with Han Siyuan. He left here and came to Kong Rui's cave.

Kong Rui was a monk of the Kong family in Linzi County, and the merchants were dependent on the Kong family.

In the spacious hall, when Kong Rui walked in from the outside and saw Tang Ning sitting upright, like Nangong Muxue, his pupils suddenly dilated with an incredible expression, and he stared at him dumbfounded for a long time.

"Fellow Daoist Kong, I take the liberty of disturbing you." Tang Ning stood up and bowed her head.

"Fellow Daoist Tang, you...you." Kong Rui was shocked and said, "You have broken through to the middle stage of Mahayana."

"It was just a fluke."

"It's unimaginable, this is incredible." Kong Rui exclaimed repeatedly, not hiding his shock and gaffe.

"Oh! Fellow Taoist Tang, please take a seat." After some exclamation, Kong Rui realized what he was doing and invited him to take a seat.

"Fellow Taoist Tang has actually taken another step forward in cultivation in just a few hundred years. How embarrassing is this for us mediocre people!"

"I just happened by chance." Tangning responded casually, then went straight to the topic: "Fellow Daoist Kong, I came here today to discuss something with you."

"Fellow Taoist Tang, please speak."

"I just got the news that Shang Haoxuan was killed. As far as I know, he went to your mansion to discuss matters. However, within three hours, his body was found abandoned on a rocky hill not far from his mansion. "Does Fellow Daoist Kong know about this?"

"I didn't hear about it. When did this happen? Who did it?"

The Kong family is a large family in Linzi County, and Linzi County is the most prosperous county in Qingzhou. The Kong family has two Mahayana monks.

Kong Rui is not the head of the family, and he serves in the coalition. Ordinary family affairs will not bother him, so it is reasonable that no one has hurried to inform him of this matter.

"It is still unknown who it is, so I came to ask Brother Kong about the situation. I thought you would know some details. Shang Haoxuan and I have been friends for many years. Now he has been killed inexplicably, and I can't just sit back and do nothing. I have just reported this to Brother Han, and asked to investigate this case."

Kong Rui smiled and said, "I have heard that Brother Tang is a man who values ​​friendship. It is a blessing for Shang Haoxuan to make friends with Brother Tang. Since Brother Tang is in charge of investigating this case, if you need anything, just speak up, and our mansion will do its best to cooperate."

"I feel relieved with Brother Kong's words. Shang Haoxuan is in I was killed on the way to your house. I think your house may know something, but if I visit your house rashly, I am afraid it will be abrupt. Therefore, I would like to ask you to condescend to accompany me. Let's go to the place where Shang Haoxuan was killed, and then go to your house to introduce me to the head of your house. "

"With the fame of fellow Daoist Tang, who in the world doesn't know you? Do you still need to worry that my house will refuse you? Since you want to invite me, I'd better obey your order and accompany you on this trip!"

Kong Rui said with a smile. He would not offend Tang Ning by refusing for such a small matter. It was just right to use this matter to get closer to him.

Although the Kong family did not need to deliberately please anyone with their status in Qingzhou, the strength and potential shown by Tang Ning were too shocking. He would certainly not refuse such an opportunity to get closer to him. After all, the future was unpredictable, and it was better to make friends with a strong man than to offend him.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Kong. If there is nothing important to deal with, let's set off now!"

"Okay." The two stood up and left the room and walked out. The reason why Tang Ning wanted to bring Kong Rui along was not because he needed someone to introduce him, as he said verbally. The real purpose was to find a companion. In case Shang Haoxuan's death was a trap, having one more Mahayana cultivator by his side would give him one more person to help him, so that he would not be trapped in a situation of fighting alone.

Now it can be basically ruled out that Han Siyuan was behind this. If Shang Haoxuan's death was really aimed at him, the biggest possibility was that the Qing Jiao clan did it. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that other people with ulterior motives and eager to move did this in order to find out his secrets.

He needs to prepare for the worst. If it was really done by the Qing Jiao clan, and it was a trap waiting for him to fall into, with his own strength and the help of a Mahayana cultivator, it would be enough to deal with it.

After all, this is Linzi County, where the headquarters of the Qingzhou coalition forces are stationed. It is unlikely that the Qing Jiao clan would invite other demon clan Mahayana cultivators to go deep behind enemy lines to set up an ambush in order to plot against him.

There are only one or two people at most, and he has now reached the middle stage of Mahayana cultivation, and his strength has greatly increased. This news is known only to a few people in the Qingzhou Allied Forces Headquarters, and has not been spread out, let alone the demon clan.

If it is a trap, then the person who designed this trap will be shocked and regret it.

Now, he is not afraid even if Qing Jiao Wang Xuanzhen comes in person.

And the murderer still treats him as a Mahayana early stage strength, and he will definitely suffer the consequences.

With his current strength, plus Kong Rui's helper, he should be able to deal with any threat calmly. (End of this chapter)
