Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Lu Xingxian smiled and said: "It turns out there is such a connection."

Tang Ning said: "There is a family in the north of Jingbei who colluded with the Demon Sect and killed Daoist Xu, including his family, old and young. Xu Daoyou escaped and lurked in his family under a pseudonym. Evidence of his crime of colluding with the Demon Sect was found. It happened to be the time for me to go to Jingbei. It was Fellow Taoist Xu handed over the evidence of his crime to me."

"I see. Since Junior Brother Tang and Fellow Daoist Xu are old acquaintances, it's perfect. This time, the sect appoints Junior Brother Tang to replace Junior Brother Du as the head of the intelligence station. Fellow Daoist Xu can get a lot of help."

Xu Qingwan glanced at Tang Ning in surprise: "I will do my best."

"Let's go! Take us to the intelligence station. I want to announce the appointment of the sect."

"Two immortal envoys please."

The three of them walked out of the cloth shop and turned into rays of light. One day later, they came to a rolling mountain range, and three rays of rays of light fell into the depths of the jungle.

"This is it." Xu Qingwan led the two of them into a dark cave, turned around on the rock wall, and the ground was pushed open in both directions, revealing a passage. The three of them followed the stone steps down to the ground.

"Senior Xu." In the empty basement, several men stood up and said

"Two immortal envoys, I will inform Du Immortal Envoy later and ask him to come out to greet you." Xu Qingwan said

Lu Xingxian nodded.

Xu Qingwan walked through the empty room and walked towards one of the passages. Not long after, an old man with a bright head and a pale face came to the two of them together with her.

"Senior Brother Lu, why are you here in person? Who is this?" Du Yuankai glanced at Tang Ning and said

Lu Xingxian said: "Junior Brother Du, this is Junior Brother Tangning from the headquarters department. I am here to announce the appointment of the sect. Junior Brother Tang will succeed you as the head of the Silver Fox Intelligence Station."

Du Yuankai was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Finally, we have a new boss. This old man like me should have abdicated long ago. Kong Ji, summon everyone in the office."

"Yes." A man responded.

Soon, more than ten monks came out of various passages and came to the room, consciously lining up in several rows.

Du Yuankai said: "This is senior brother Lu Xingxian, the deacon of the main department, and this is junior brother Tang Ning of the main department. I am here to announce the appointment of the sect. From now on, junior brother Tang will take over my position as the director."

Everyone saluted and looked up at Tang Ning.

Tangning smiled slightly in response.

"Junior Brother Du, let's go to your room to talk!" Lu Xingxian said

"Okay, Senior Brother Lu and Junior Brother Tang, please. Kong Ji, prepare a room for Senior Brother Lu and Junior Brother Tang."

Several people walked through the hall, walked towards the central passage, came to a stone room, and sat down one after another.

Lu Xingxian said: "Junior Brother Du, Junior Brother Tang suddenly took over and the affairs are not clear. I intend to let him assist you in handling the affairs for a period of time. After he is familiar with all the affairs, you will return to the sect after the handover is completed."

"I know that it was the same when I took over. Thinking about it, it has been seventy years. It seems like a lifetime ago. The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. Junior Brother Tang is young and rich in age. He has already advanced to the middle stage of foundation building. His future generations are formidable. Ah!" Du Yuankai sighed with emotion.

"Senior Brother Du, aren't there two foundation-building monks in this station? Why do we only see fellow Daoist Xu?" Tang Ning asked.

"Fellow Daoist Xu is mainly responsible for financial and internal affairs, so he stays here to handle affairs. There is also a person named Xu Wei, who is mainly responsible for intelligence collection and working outside."

Tang Ning said: "There are only eight disciples in our headquarters, and as many as 28 casual cultivators have been recruited. Are these people reliable?"

Du Yuankai said: "These casual cultivators are carefully selected, and they all have a deep hatred against the Blood and Bone Sect. Before recruiting each person, we will conduct a detailed review to confirm their identity and family background before being included under our command. After all, only our troops can We really don’t have enough manpower, so we can only recruit casual cultivators to help us deal with the affairs. In addition, we have also made some precautions in the arrangement to prevent them from having access to confidential matters.”

"What about Zheng Wei? He is responsible for intelligence collection and should know a lot of confidential matters!"

"That's natural. After all, I am a foundation-building monk. I can't do the same to Qi Refining disciples. Furthermore, I do need someone to share in handling some affairs, but I am the only one who knows the core secrets. We are instigating rebellion within the Demon Sect, and Some important people are placed in single-line contact with me.”

The three of them chatted for a long time, and the disciple named Kong Ji came to report that the room was ready.

Tang Ning said goodbye and left. He knew that Lu Xingxian and Du Yuankai must have other things to talk about.

Kong Ji led him to another passage. There were several stone rooms here. Kong Ji pointed to the outermost room and said, "Uncle Tang, this is your room."

Tangning pushed the door open and walked in. This stone chamber seemed to be newly dug. The stone walls and beds were all brand new. With the power of a monk, it didn't take much effort to open a stone chamber between the rock walls. Having said that, it is impossible to set aside a few more houses in this place, it can only be temporarily excavated.

"Go ahead!"

"Disciple resigns."

…………

In the stone room, Du Yuankai saw Tang Ning walking away and asked, "Why did the sect suddenly appoint him as chief? I didn't know anything about it before. Did something happen?"

Lu Xingxian said: "It's not a big deal. There is a new inspector in the department. He is the son of Master Luo's junior brother. He is very restless and befriends Junior Brother Zhu and him, intending to seize power. I will transfer him away from the sect to save them. Let’s make trouble together, haven’t you wanted to return to the sect for a long time? So I asked him to replace you. The department is short of manpower. You can help me deal with some things.”

"Is he also a member of Palace Master Luo?"

Lu Xingxian said: "The person recommended by Hall Master Luo himself was originally a disciple of the Herbology Department. He has made rapid progress in recent years and is highly appreciated by Hall Master Luo. He is slightly famous in the sect. I transferred him, on the one hand, to prevent them from getting together. Tuan, on the other hand, also intends to keep him away from the sect."

"This person may be a threat in the future. If he successfully advances to the late stage of foundation establishment, he will be a greater threat than Junior Brother Zhu. Therefore, I transferred the sect from afar. Even if he advances to the late stage of foundation establishment in the future, he will not be qualified to compete for the position of deacon."

Du Yuankai said: "It is not that easy in the late stage of foundation building. I have been trapped in this situation for decades and have not been able to break through the bottleneck. In my opinion, Senior Brother Zhu Xu is our most serious concern. He has been ready to make a move and has been spying on us for a long time."

"You are wrong. The threat of Junior Brother Tang is definitely greater than that of Junior Brother Zhu. This person acts calmly, has considerable means and abilities, and is very powerful. In addition to Zhuang Xingqian and Jiang Yuhuan in the sect, the most eager disciples are none other than him, Lian Zhang Everyone praises him."

Du Yuankai was slightly surprised and said: "Oh? Is this happening? His appearance and conversation are ordinary. Even the head of the family admires him?"

The leader, Wei Xuande, is a late-stage Jindan cultivator. In his eyes, foundation-building cultivators like himself are no different from those disciples at the seventh or eighth level of Qi Refining in his eyes, so he doesn't take them particularly seriously.

Lu Xingxian said: "He is not ordinary. Back then, Xiaobi defeated Master Shi's uncle Sun Chenda and entered the top three of Xiaobi as a little-known herbal medicine disciple. However, Xiaobi's qualifications were disqualified due to martial arts reasons, and the leader granted him a special license. Use soul-controlling milk to build the foundation.”

"After that, he made many small achievements. The Dou family of Qinchuan colluded with the Demon Sect, which worried the top leaders of the sect. Within a few months, he disintegrated the Dou family and killed everyone in the family. He also joined the elite team formed by the sect to fight against the Demon Sect's The elite team killed an elite disciple of the Demon Sect. These are all recorded in the secret security department archives."

"This time I met with the leader and stated the reasons. The leader praised him for his outstanding talents and strength, and that he is qualified for this position. It can be seen that he has already entered the eyes of the senior leaders of the sect."

"Although his reputation is not as high as that of Zhuang Xinqian and Jiang Yuhuan, he is not an ordinary person. He has long been famous in the sect, and he is highly appreciated by Palace Master Luo. If he breaks through to the later stage of foundation building in the future, he will be a greater threat than Zhu Xu. Junior brother. So I took this opportunity to transfer him away to prevent Weidu from getting too excited."

Du Yuankai said: "Senior Brother Lu has far-sighted plans that are beyond my control. Since he is from Palace Master Luo's side, do I need to be on guard against him?"

Lu Xing said: "That's not necessary. He is quite responsible, but this Qin Gang is not very peaceful."

"What I'm most worried about now is the candidate to take over the department. If one of you can be promoted to the late stage of foundation building, I can recommend it to the sect. With the help of Uncle Shi, taking over as deacon is not a big problem. I My life is running out, so I asked Junior Brother Lu to go to Qiyuan Island to try his luck a few days ago, it depends on God's will whether he can succeed!"

Du Yuankai was speechless.

…………

The next day, Du Yuankai sent someone to invite Tang Ning to his room. He turned his hand over, took out a small book, handed it to him and said, "Junior Brother Tang, these are all the people who were instigated by us to rebel and placed in the Demon Sect and various family forces. The list is now in your hands.”

Tang Ning took the book and looked through it one by one. On it were the names of the children of various families, the Corpse Puppet Sect, and members of the Chamber of Commerce. There were dozens of them.

"The people on this list are all low-level disciples, and there are some important people who have contacted me through a single line. They are not on the list. I will tell you how to contact them one by one in the future." Du Yuankai pulled out another blank piece of paper. Holding the pen in his right hand, he wrote down several lines of his name.

"These people are my insiders for so many years of development. They have the same single-line contact with me. They are not on the list. Now they are also handed over to you. I will introduce you to them in the future, and you must keep in touch with them from time to time."

Tangning nodded.

"Although these people are our insiders in instigating rebellion, don't trust them too much. In our circle, there are many people who serve as agents of many forces at the same time. They are not necessarily loyal to the sect, and most of them are just for profit. That’s all.”

"Yesterday I said that Xu Wei is in charge of intelligence collection. He is in charge of all the personnel on the roster in your hand. Those are chess pieces that can be discarded at any time. Only important personnel are valuable, and these people, except Senior Brother Lu and I, Master Tong, the master of the Secret Academy, and the head master know their exact identities."
