Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Tang Ning hid in the stone wall and listened to the two people talking for a long time before quietly exiting. After leaving Baoxing Inn, he reported to the management office, and then left Fangshi straight away. He stood up from the light and came to Jiang Yuhuan and Guan Sheng's side.

"How was it? What did they talk about?" Guan Sheng asked

Tangning briefly recounted the conversation between the two: "I don't know what they said before. They were already talking when I went there."

Jiang Yuhuan said: "Now that his life is in my control, I don't think he will dare to deceive us. Let's wait and see! Let's see what he says later."

About a quarter of an hour later, a ray of light rose from below and came to the side of several people. It was Guo Huai: "The words have been passed on. I asked him to see me as soon as possible, just waiting for him to show up."

"Where is the appointment?"

"I said I was hiding in a Taoist temple outside Xiangmu County, Qinchuan. He might go there to find me after receiving the news."

"How long do you estimate it will take?"

"It's hard to say. It depends on when he gets the news."

Guan Sheng said: "In that case, Junior Brother Tang, it's up to you to monitor the boy at Baoxing Inn to see when he will send the news to Phoenix."

Guo Huai said: "It's useless. He doesn't know where Phoenix is. It's Phoenix who takes the initiative to contact us, and he is no exception. Only if Phoenix shows up proactively can he pass on the news."

Guan Sheng frowned; "So, if he flies away and never shows up, wouldn't we have to wait for him for several years?"

"He always behaves like this. He never tells others his whereabouts. You can only wait for him to contact you. Especially at this time, since he knows that you are looking for him, he will not show up easily. Maybe he has already left Chu Country. ”

Tang Ning said: "Even if you leave the Chu Kingdom, there will always be a day when you come back. Unless he knows that we have captured you, he will not abandon you. We just need to wait patiently."

The few of them agreed to return to Tianling Mountain, and Guan Sheng ordered all his disciples to return to the sect one after another in order to neglect him. Xu Ru was also asked to return to South China to continue practicing. Once Phoenix appeared, he immediately informed them that Jiang Yuhuan had placed a restraint in his body to prevent him from suddenly rebelling. Guan Sheng secretly ordered two disciples to follow him.

The three of them accompanied Guo Huai to Qinchuan and the Taoist temple outside Xiangmu County. Everything was ready, just waiting for the Phoenix to appear.

Time flies, three months have passed.

The disciples of Tianling Mountain returned to the sect one after another, and the captured members of the Immortal Cult have been imprisoned.

Guo Huai becomes unconscious every full moon day, and has eaten three people as scheduled so far.

His condition was more serious than Xu Ru's. Every day before the full moon, his consciousness would completely fade away, his whole body would turn red, and he would move around like a bug all day long.

Fortunately, he knew his situation very well and had prepared "food" early.

On this day, Guo Huai was sitting cross-legged in the hall. He suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Someone is coming."

The three of them were happy and surprised to hear that this person had finally arrived after waiting for three months. Guan Sheng hurriedly asked, "Is it Phoenix?"

"I don't know." Guo Huai shook his head; "I can only sense the aura of the same kind, but I can't sense the specific person. He is coming towards my place."

The three of them hurriedly hid, Tang Ning escaped underground, and Guo Huai and Jiang Yuhuan were lying on both sides.

Since Guo Huai was able to sense the other party, it meant that he was within ten miles away. With the escape skills of the Foundation Establishment monks, he could arrive in a matter of seconds.

Sure enough, less than half a day after the incense was finished, there was a slight noise outside the house, and a man wearing a black robe and a bamboo hat pushed open the door and entered.

Tangning was lying on the ground when she heard someone entering the house, and she immediately appeared.

The man's consciousness sensed the fluctuation of spiritual power, and he paused in his steps. Just as he was about to make a move, a sound of breaking through the air came from behind his ears.

Jiang Yuhuan's body flashed, and he silently arrived behind the man in black robe. His whole body transformed into a giant ape, and he smashed down with his huge golden fist.

There was a loud "boom", and a black bell rose up in the wind, protecting his figure inside. The giant ape's huge fist hit the bell, making a dull and deafening sound, and the bell shook slightly. .

It turned out that as soon as the man entered the house, his consciousness immediately noticed the two men hiding in the room, and he immediately took out the spiritual weapon from his storage bag to protect himself. Therefore, Jiang Yuhuan's raid was unsuccessful.

There was a tremor under the ground, and small saplings one inch tall broke out of the ground, swollen in the wind, broke through the roof, and soared into the sky.

In the blink of an eye, it grows to a height of tens of feet, with branches and leaves criss-crossing, covering the sky and the sun. Tang Ning made a hand seal, and the giant trees crisscrossed each other, forming a huge cage with a radius of dozens of feet.

Jiang Yuhuan jumped up high and pressed down like he was hugging the moon.

With a "click", the big mysterious black clock resisted the blow, and cracks appeared on the top. Guan Sheng also took action at the same time. He saw his left hand draw a circle and his right hand draw a square. When his hands were put together, an outer circle formed in mid-air. The red aperture inside grew bigger and bigger in the void, and a huge red light beam shot out from it, hitting the top of the black bell.

There was a loud bang, and the top of the black bell was broken inch by inch. The red light beam directly penetrated the broken black bell and hit the man in black robe.

But when the man in black robe roared loudly, his figure suddenly swelled, his waist and limbs increased several times, and the black robe on his body was torn apart.

At the same time, the spiritual power on his body also surged, his whole body turned red, and a red light curtain condensed around him.

The light curtain actually blocked the attack of the red light beam, and the two were locked in a stalemate.

The giant ape jumped up again and pressed down like it was holding the moon. The red light curtain was like water mist, gradually blurring and dissipating in mid-air.

The giant ape stopped in time and hit the man with its huge fist. The man roared and faced the giant ape with his fists and palms.

As soon as the two came into contact, the man's figure was shot backwards, breaking dozens of giant trees and falling down.

The giant ape dodged, reached his side, and punched him.

Stone chips scattered, dust flew, and a huge crater several feet deep was created on the ground.

After receiving this blow, the man's chest and abdomen shriveled up like a pancake. His head tilted and he fainted. The redness in his body gradually dissipated.

Everything actually happened in the blink of an eye. The whole process from the man entering the house to being subdued only took a few dozen breaths. Although this man had a mid-stage foundation-building cultivation and an immortal body provided by corpse insects, he was only a casual cultivator after all. , the magical power skills are indeed average.

In front of a leader of his generation like Jiang Yuhuan, it can be said that he is vulnerable.

Guan Sheng stepped forward and tapped him a few times, then pulled off the bamboo hat on his head, revealing the appearance of an old man with gray hair. However, his face was covered with wrinkles and his age was revealed. He knew that Shou Yuan was at a glance. Not much.

It was not surprising to everyone. Both Xu Ru and Guo Huai had said that Phoenix's voice was a bit old, so it could be roughly inferred that he was an old man who matched the person in front of him.

"Finally we caught this person, let's go!"

Several people left the main hall and turned into light. After walking for two days, they arrived at Tianling Mountain. The old man had already woken up, but he didn't say a word along the way, as if he had accepted his fate.

Tang Ning escorted him to the wooden house, where the three of them sat at the main table and began to question him.

"All of your subordinates were captured by us and turned over to the light in time. What can you say?" Tang Ning said.

"If I fall into your hands, I'll die or die. I'll be a king or a bandit. There's nothing to say." The old man's tone was neither cold nor indifferent.

Guan Sheng said: "You must know your own situation! Who is the immortal god you are talking about? Is he the mastermind behind the corpse worm in your body?"

The old man's face was expressionless: "Corpse worm? Is that what you call it?"

"Is there another name for it?"

"You can call me whatever you want, it's just a name. My life has come to an end, so don't waste your time. I won't reveal any information. I'll kill or hack you at your disposal."

Jiang Yuhuan said: "We have a way to make you speak, but we still hope you can cooperate well. Are you willing to become such a monster that is neither human nor ghost? Tell us everything you know, and we will do our best to cure it. You have a disease of corpse worms in your body.”

The old man raised his mouth slightly and showed a sarcastic smile: "You are using these words to confuse them! Don't waste time anymore. You and I both know very well that there is no cure at all. To be precise, I am already a dead person now. "

Tang Ning said: "Since you know there is no cure, why do you still spend so much effort to establish the Immortal Cult? Did the person behind it instigate you to do this? What is the purpose?"

The old man closed his eyes slightly and said nothing.

The three of them looked at each other. This person must know the inside story behind it, but judging from his attitude, it was obvious that he couldn't tell it in words.

Jiang Yuhuan said: "Since you are stubborn, don't blame me for using any means. Senior Brother Guan, Junior Brother Tang, I will bring this person back to the sect for interrogation."

The two nodded, Jiang Yuhuan escorted the old man out of the wooden house, and flew away with Guo Huai.

Guan Sheng said: "Since the leader of the Immortal Cult has been captured, I will return to the sect first to answer my orders. We will decide on the next move after the Forbidden Secret Department has news about the corpse insects."

Tang Ning said: "I will notify the intelligence stations to capture the remaining members of the Immortal Cult secretly. They are just small fish and shrimps. There is no need to bother Senior Brother Guan."

"I will keep the disciples from the Inspection Department here to assist you."

"good."

After Guan Sheng left, Tangning was the only one left to guard Tianling Mountain. The operation to capture the members of the Immortal Cult is still continuing, and now of the four guardians, only White Tiger remains unaccounted for.

Tang Ning summoned Xu Ru and went to Beiyuan with him to search for traces of the white tiger.

Relying on the special induction between corpse insect hosts, the two stayed in Beiyuan for about half a month and finally captured the white tiger in a cave. During this period, on a full moon day, Xu Ru captured a mortal as food. Tangning He looked on coldly and did not stop.

When he suddenly woke up, he realized that he was completely different from before. Like many practitioners, he regarded mortals as trivial in his heart and remained indifferent when he saw him killing an innocent person.

He couldn't help but feel a little sad. The things he once hated were now so natural, and he seemed to have gradually transformed into a different person subtly.
