Chronicles of Celestial Origins

He sighed, formed a seal and cast a spell to bury these disciples, and then turned into light and walked away. After walking for about two or three hundred miles, he saw a blue light curtain rising in Yuanyang Valley.

He was shocked. Judging from the situation along the way, the sect had just been defeated and the disciples had not yet been able to gather. It was impossible to organize a defensive formation so quickly to resist the invasion of the Corpse Puppet Sect.

This must be the formation that the Corpse Puppet Sect marched all the way to build while they were victorious. It looked like the formation had just been completed.

Tang Ning hurriedly took a detour to avoid being discovered. After walking for a day, he arrived at the Puyang Mountains. He looked up and saw that there was no shadow of the camp.

The place where the camp was originally stationed was in a mess, with only rows of wooden houses remaining to prove that it once existed.

The main camp actually pulled out the stronghold and left. From this point of view, the defeat was more serious than he imagined. Otherwise, the main camp would not have been able to pull out the stronghold. This withdrawal meant that the Qian Yizong gave up the entire western border of the Chu Kingdom.

The Corpse Puppet Sect was actually so powerful. The leader, Wei Xuande, led four Jindan monks and led the sect's elite disciples to a massive defeat. He was shocked, and he raised his shield and marched eastward.

After walking for three days, Fang returned to the sect. He first came to Lu Xingxian Cave Mansion, waved a yellow talisman and handed it in through the thick fog. Soon, the thick fog surged, creating a path on both sides.

Tang Ning walked into the main room, where Lu Xingxian was sitting in front of the stone table, waiting for him.

"You're here, sit down!"

Tang Ning sat down as instructed and said, "I am returning to the sect and I came here to report to Senior Brother Lu."

"The day before yesterday, I went to the Internal Affairs Department to check the life soul stone of the disciples of the department. I found out that you were fine. I thought you must have been separated from the sect's main force and will arrive in the next few days."

Tang Ning said: "When I followed Uncle Jiang Ming to counterattack the Corpse Puppet Sect, I was entangled by a Foundation-Building monk who kept chasing me, so I got separated from the group. After a fight, I killed him because my spiritual power was consumed so much. I hid and meditated to regain my spiritual power. When I looked for my brothers again, the battle was over. I returned to the camp and saw that the entire camp had been abandoned. I fled for three or four days before returning. "

"It'll be good to come back safely."

"What happened? Along the way, I saw the corpses of disciples everywhere. It seemed that they were defeated. The Corpse Puppet Sect invaded in large numbers and took over many resource areas. I saw them building formations with my own eyes. How could they be defeated like this? Realm?"

Lu Xingxian said: "This sect fell into the Demon Sect's plan, that's why we were defeated. The Corpse Puppet Sect invaded in large numbers and lured us to fight with them. However, they had already contacted the Youmei Sect and set up an ambush. Everyone in the Youmei Sect was waiting for us. When the fight between the disciples and the Corpse Puppet Sect was in full swing, they suddenly came out and were defeated. "

Tangning frowned and asked, "The Youmei Sect is launching a large-scale campaign. Why don't you know anything about it in advance?"

Lu Xingxian said: "The Youmei Sect didn't send out many people. They only summoned monks at the late stage of Foundation Establishment and above to help out. They didn't come into direct contact with the Corpse Puppet Sect. Instead, they hid in the mountains on both sides of each camp, so they didn't get any information in advance. information."

Tangning was silent. There was no doubt that Xuanmen had its own operations within the Corpse Puppet Sect, but it might not reach such a high status.

In addition, the senior leaders of Youmei Sect may not tell the monks involved in the operation in order to keep the matter secret. It is possible that only a few senior leaders of the entire sect know about it, and the rest are just following orders. To dispatch such a small unit with top-notch cultivation skills, it must be kept secret. If it's good, it's not too difficult to hide Xuanmen's secret work.

"How are the casualties?"

"My junior brothers Kong and Yuan were killed, and nearly half of the Qi Refining disciples were killed."

Kong Fanxing is dead? Tang Ning was slightly shocked. His voice and smile could not help but appear in her mind. She did not expect that he would die like this.

"This time, our sect's vitality has been severely damaged. All departments and departments suffered heavy casualties. Master Geng from the Ministry of Internal Affairs was killed and Master Yan was seriously injured." Lu Xingxian said.

Even the Golden Core cultivators were dead and seriously wounded, not to mention the rest of them. It was no wonder that the camp was pulled out. With such casualties, it was impossible to hold the camp and could only retreat to the sect.

"What should the sect do next?"

"We can only tighten the defense line, and we will count as much as we can save."

……………

In the main hall of Qianxing Mountain, the leader Wei Xuande and the senior officials of the three halls and three courtyards gathered together, and the atmosphere was solemn and solemn.

"How is Junior Brother Yan?"

"All the five internal organs are damaged, and it may be difficult to recover. The fluctuations in spiritual power have been extremely unstable in the past few days." Jiang Ming said.

After Geng Tong's death, he took over as head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

"Have the casualties been counted?"

"In this battle, among the one hundred and fourteen foundation-building disciples, thirty-nine soul stones have been destroyed, and countless others have been injured. Among the seven hundred and twelve Qi Refining disciples, 340 soul stones have been destroyed. "Historical Name Sui Dao

Wei Dexuan was silent for a long time: "Since the founding of our sect, has there ever been such a huge defeat? Nearly half of our elite disciples were killed or injured. This is my fault."

"Master, there is no need to blame yourself. The elimination of demons is a general trend in the world. We are not the only one in Xingang. The big sects in Qinghai are not in a hurry when they are forced by the demon sect. The top priority is to come up with practical ways to prevent the demons." Zong expanded greatly.”

Peng Wanli said: "The current plan can only shrink the front line, abandon Qinchuan and Longyou, stick to the Central Plains, and keep the Corpse Puppet Sect out of the Central Plains."

Tong Quan'an said: "Our sect has recently been defeated, and people's hearts are scattered. If we are sent to hold the frontline camp at this time, everyone will be in danger. The Corpse Puppet Sect will take advantage of the victory, and their morale will be greatly increased. If the two confront each other, the frontline disciples may not be able to fight." Fight and flee."

Wei Xuande nodded and said: "Junior Brother Tong's words are reasonable. I will personally guard the front line to reassure everyone."

Shi Ming followed up and said: "This great defeat was due to me being caught off guard by the Youmei Sect's attack. If the leader wants to personally control the front line, he can discuss a joint defense strategy with the Qingyang and Shuiyun Sects to prevent this kind of thing from happening again." occur."

Wei Xuande said: "I was about to discuss with the junior brothers. Yesterday, I contacted the Qingyang and Shuiyun sects and initially agreed on a defensive strategy. Each of our three sects will dispatch manpower to form a strong mobile team. "

"This mobile team does not need too many manpower, but it must be elite disciples, just like the support team of the Youmei Sect a few days ago. The strength of the team can threaten the foundation of the Demon Sect. In this way, the Demon Sect must be afraid of We don’t dare to act rashly, but the mobile team can frequently harass the opponent, attack his weak points, and make him unable to take care of himself.”

Peng Wanli nodded and said: "This plan is very clever. The overall strength of the Demon Sect is not stronger than ours, but it can make us vulnerable everywhere. Because they have four sects, they form horns with each other and are linked to each other, making me head and tail. Without taking care of each other, we will prevent the Demon Sect from occupying resources on the outside and attack our mountain gate on the inside, and we dare not fight with all our strength."

"But they can reinforce each other, so we have been frustrated many times. It is the best policy to treat others in their own way and counterattack them. It is much stronger than blindly defending."

Wei Xuande said: "What do you junior fellow apprentices think?"

Everyone bowed their heads in agreement.

"I wonder how this team should be equipped?" Shi Mingsui asked.

"I have made a preliminary decision with Shuiyun, Qingyang, and the two sect leaders to combine the efforts of the three sects and create five Jindan monks, ten monks in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, twenty monks in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, and thirty monks in the early stage of Foundation Establishment. A total of sixty-five monks make up this mobile team."

"If you can have such combat power, I think the Demon Sect will be very wary of it. This mobile team is mainly mobile. Try not to come into contact with the main force of the Demon Sect. We don't want to cause important losses to the Demon Sect in one battle. What we want is to constantly harass the Demon Sect. The enemy is exhausted, using the tactics of retreating when the enemy advances, advancing when the enemy retreats, and attacking when the enemy is tired, so that the Demon Sect will take the trouble to hit him hard at his weak points. "

Everyone praised the plan and said it was a wonderful plan.

Wei Xuande looked at Luo Qingshui: "Junior brother Luo, you have the highest cultivation level among all the junior brothers. I want you to serve as the commander of this team on behalf of my sect. What do you think?"

In this battle between the Qian Yizong and the Corpse Puppet Sect, their vitality was severely damaged. Nearly half of the Qi Refining disciples were killed and injured, and a third of the Foundation Establishment monks were killed. Two Golden Pill monks were also killed, one dead and the other seriously injured.

If two more Jindan monks were sent out, they might not be able to defend themselves, so he planned with Shuiyun and Qingyang sects to send a late Jindan cultivator from the Qianyi sect.

Shuiyun and Qingyang each sent one mid-stage Golden Elixir monk and one early-stage Golden Elixir monk. In this way, five Golden Elixir monks together were enough to frighten the Demon Sect.

Qianyi Sect is the only sect among the three Xuanmen sects in Xingang that has two late-stage Jindan monks. Wei Xuande wants to personally control the front line, and this responsibility can only fall on Luo Qingshui.

"You must obey the orders of the leader." Luo Qingshui said

"Okay, you can choose twenty foundation-building disciples for your deployment."

"Are all the disciples in the sect allowed to be chosen by me?"

"That's natural. The mobile team requires elite disciples. You can choose whatever you like. You can choose three late-stage foundation-building disciples, seven mid-stage foundation-building disciples, and ten early-stage foundation establishment disciples to join this team."

Outside Lu Xingxian's cave, a ray of light came out, and a man with a fair face appeared. He waved his talisman and passed through the thick fog. After a while, a ray of light flashed out of the cave, and Lu Xingxian fell to the man's side: "Junior Brother Zuo, has the master issued an order?"

The man's name was Zuo Qingquan, and he was under the direct control of the head of the clan. He was not under the jurisdiction of the three palaces and three courtyards, but directly obeyed Wei Xuande's orders. That's why Lu Xingxian had this question.

Zuo Qingquan took out a piece of paper and handed it to him: "This is the transfer order from the leader. Where is your junior brother Tang Ning? From now on, he will be removed from all his posts and transferred to another person."
