Chronicles of Celestial Origins

After Tang Ning buried the bodies of Yang Xian and Zhou Yan, she also closed her eyes and sat up cross-legged to recover her lost spiritual power.

About half a day later, the spiritual power in several people's bodies recovered, but Su Yinyun was still pale.

"It's not advisable to stay here for a long time. The Demon Sect doesn't know when it will attack again. We must rush back to the sect. Junior Sister Su, since you are injured, you don't need to follow the escort team. You can go back to the sect to recuperate first. Do you need to send someone to escort you? ?”

Su Yinyun shook her head and said: "I just used secret techniques to make my mind and body exhausted. I can recover by self-cultivation for half a year. I can reach the sect in more than a day. You don't need to worry about it, brothers."

"Let's go!" Tang Ning waved her hand, and the disciples controlled the mysterious hearse to slowly rise into the air. Su Yinyun turned into a ray of light and disappeared from everyone's sight.

When the Demon Sect was fighting just now, the disciples stayed away and parked the Xuanling Chariot at the bottom of the canyon several miles away from the battle group.

In terms of combat effectiveness, if dozens of disciples work together, they can resist the monks in the early stages of foundation building.

However, since they did not receive orders from Tang Ning, everyone did not act rashly and only protected the mysterious hearse and fled to the side. They were not willing to participate in the battle of the foundation-building monks. Without a leader, they would naturally not take the initiative to join the battle group. Who would be willing to take such a big risk? Risking death in vain.

Therefore, everyone hid aside and watched. If their own side won, they would have done a good job in protecting the materials. If the Demon Sect won, they would naturally disperse and flee in all directions. This is nothing to criticize.

Since the Demon Sect arrived in such a hurry, Tang Ning did not bother to direct them.

The mysterious hearse moved slowly, crossing countless mountains, rivers, and lofty mountains. After the Demon Sect was defeated in an ambush, it did not arrange for other disciples to attack the escort team.

After traveling for more than twenty days, everyone returned to the sect. After handing over the materials loaded in the Xuanling Cart to the Yuanyi Palace's imperial department, Tang Ning's mission was completed. Without too much delay, several people left the sect and returned to the Yingxia Mountain camp to take their orders.

Outside the Shanluo Qingshui Stone House behind the formation altar, several rays of light fell, revealing the figures of Tang Ning, Chen Da, Jin Zhang, and Yan Yunlong.

With a wave of her hand, Tang Ning passed the transmission talisman through the gap in the stone door. After a while, the stone door swung open.

Several people entered and bowed to Luo Qingshui who was sitting cross-legged on the futon.

Luo Qingshui said: "We're back. You guys went to Beiyuan to escort supplies, right? How was it? Did the trip go well?"

Tang Ning replied: "Not long after I left Beiyuan, my disciple was attacked by two teams from the Demon Sect. Junior brother Yang Xian and Junior Brother Zhou Yan, who were escorting the supplies from the Foreign Affairs Bureau's External Relations Section, were unfortunately killed. We killed four members of the Demon Sect." Brother Ji fled in panic, but luckily he managed to save his supplies and was not attacked by the Demon Sect again. "

"I will return after delivering the supplies to the imperial department outside Yuan Yi Palace."

Luo Qingshui nodded and said: "Thank you for your hard work. Do you think the Demon Sect has already been ambushing you there waiting for you to pass by? Or is it following you all the way before attacking?"

Tang Ning said: "Disciple, don't dare to lie. We are escorting the supplies. We are moving slowly and with great momentum. If the Demon Sect is interested in inquiring, it will be easy for us to know our whereabouts. There may not be any details to leak the information."

"What about you? What do you think?"

Chen Da said: "The Demon Sect sent two teams to attack us. They obviously knew that the camp sent people to escort the troops, and they also knew the configuration of our team. But this does not mean that the news was leaked by people on our side."

"I have been staying in Beiyuan for more than ten days. Many people in the cultivating family know our purpose this time, and some of them may have a secret conspiracy with the Demon Sect. It is not surprising that the news leaked."

"Another point to prove is that we were ambushed by the Demon Sect after we marched for more than ten days and left Beiyuan. If they had received the news a long time ago, why didn't they take action in Beiyuan instead of taking action when they arrived in Jiangdong?"

"I think there's a staffing issue here."

"The Demon Sect got the news from those cultivating families, and then organized people to chase us from Xushu Mountain. We had already set off and left Beiyuan at that time, so it took more than ten days for them to find our whereabouts."

Tangning asked, "Uncle Master, I wonder if the other escort teams were attacked by the Demon Sect?"

Luo Qingshui said: "Escort teams from all over the country were attacked by the Demon Sect. Among them, Fang Xiangming's team suffered the most heavy losses. Fang Xiangming was unfortunately killed. Only two people in his team escaped and survived."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was slightly shocked. They didn't expect Fang Xiangming to be dead, but after thinking about it carefully, there was nothing surprising.

The Demon Sect was fully prepared this time. Regardless of personnel and cultivation level, its overall strength was definitely higher than that of the Qianyi Sect's escort team. If Tang Ning didn't have Little White Snake's help, she would probably attract hatred.

"You have completed the task well this time, and the sect will reward you accordingly. Please go back and rest! Each of you will hand in a dossier."

"Yes, disciple, please leave." Several people responded, left the stone house, turned into escaping light and went their separate ways.

Tang Ning returned to the intelligence department's residence. Liu Miao opened her eyes after entering meditation and saw him returning. She said, "Senior Brother Tang is back. He must have achieved a lot of merit this time! I heard that the team responsible for escorting was The demon sect monks attacked and suffered heavy casualties. Even senior brother Fang Xiang was killed. How about your team? "

"After we were ambushed by the Demon Sect, two junior brothers, Yang Xian and Zhou Yan, were killed. The Demon Sect also suffered several casualties and then retreated."

"Senior Brother Tang is still good! No wonder Uncle Luo thinks so highly of you."

Tangning smiled, did not answer, and sat cross-legged to regain her spiritual power.

Since the task of escorting supplies, the sect has not released any new tasks and has lived a very peaceful life.

Half a year passed. On this day, a ray of light came from outside the wooden house, and a fair-faced man appeared. He was Wang Huan, the direct director of the Secret Academy: "Senior Brother Tang, Uncle Tong invites you to go to his residence."

Go to his residence? Isn't it a matter of discussion within the palace? Tangning was confused and didn't dare to be negligent. She got up and followed him to Tong Quan'an's stone house.

The two of them bowed and saluted. Tong Quanan waved his hand and said to Wang Huan, "You go first!"

"Yes." Wang Huan responded.

Tang Ning stood aside and said, "I wonder what the master uncle has to do when he calls the disciples here?"

"sit down!"

"Yes." Tangning followed the instructions and took her seat.

Tong Quan'an said: "I called you here this time because there is a secret mission for you to complete."

Tang Ning's heart trembled, knowing that the matter was definitely not simple, but her face remained calm: "Please give me your instructions, uncle."

"The Youmei Sect has set up an inspection team. Do you know about this?"

"Disciple doesn't know."

Tong Quan'an smiled: "I forgot that you can't receive intelligence information in the camp. A few times ago, we got accurate intelligence and ambushed the Demon Sect team, arousing their suspicion. The Demon Sect began to self-examine its The Supervision Team was born in response to the details of the sect, and it is an organization that specializes in investigating the details of the Demon Sect. "

"You have served in the Intelligence Department for many years, and have served as the chief of the Silver Fox Intelligence Station for decades. You are well aware of many of the insiders assigned to the Demon Sect."

"But the Intelligence Department only knows part of it. There are some important people lurking in the Demon Sect. They are not arranged by the Intelligence Department, but they are also doing things for us. You understand!"

Tang Ning nodded. He had already guessed that the sect had other agents within the Demon Sect to provide information. These people and the personnel arranged by the Intelligence Department were two separate lines, and each did not know the other's existence.

At this time, he was not surprised to hear Tong Quan'an's statement: "What does uncle need from his disciples?"

Tong Quan'an said: "One of these people was arranged by me to join the Demon Sect. No one else knows about it. He only maintains a single line of contact with me. Only the headmaster and I in the entire sect know his true identity."

"Now he is in trouble and needs our help. This person has a high status in the Demon Sect and is an important chess piece for us. We cannot leave it alone. After much thought, I chose you to complete this task. There is no one in the sect. There is no better candidate than you.”

"First, you are a disciple of the Intelligence Department, and you have a good understanding of the internal situation of the Demon Sect. This is also considered your job."

"Both, we highly recognize your loyalty and ability, and believe you can handle this matter well."

"I have reported it to the headmaster, and he has agreed that you will complete this secret mission."

Tang Ning expressed her stance: "Disciples will do their best, even to the death."

He knew in his heart that this must be a very high-risk matter. Tong Quan'an came to him, perhaps after careful consideration.

Although Tong Quan'an did not mention the specific mission, Tang Ning also guessed that he must rescue this "high-level" spy within the Demon Sect.

The most dangerous thing about this matter is that this elaborate operation may have been controlled or exposed. The whole thing may be a trap, and the purpose is naturally to attract the contacts of Qian Yizong.

This is also the reason why Tong Quan'an went to him instead of going by himself.

I have no choice but to be in a higher position and crush people to death!

Of course the people below have done this kind of jumping into traps. Do you want him, a golden elixir monk and the master of the secret academy, to take the risk?

Although it is a pity that the sect loses a late-stage foundation-building monk, it is not a big deal. If the golden elixir monk falls down and dies, it will be a huge loss for the sect.

Tong Quan'an nodded slightly and was quite satisfied with Tang Ning's statement. He took out a file with his left hand and handed it to him, "Take a look!"

Tang Ning took the file and opened it. It was an introduction to a character, with a picture of the person on the left side.

This man has the head of a leopard and the arms of an ape, with regular facial features, a tall and straight body, and sinister eyes. His name is Zhang Zifeng. He is the first disciple of Qiu Jian, the elder of Youmei Sect, and has cultivated in the late stage of foundation building.

The file introduces various deeds in his life. When he was a child, he was treated poorly by his stepmother, and he felt resentful. He killed his stepmother and ran away from home. Later, he met Qiu Jian and was adopted as his disciple.

He has made many meritorious deeds in the Mysterious Demon War. So far, he has beheaded seven Xuanmen monks.

Including one late-stage foundation-building monk, four mid-stage foundation-building monks, and two early-stage foundation-building monks.

He is a very dignified man, cruel and ruthless, and his skills are quite mysterious.

Tang Ning read the contents recorded in the file carefully: "This person is the Demon Sect insider mentioned by Uncle Master! How can I cooperate? Uncle Master, please clarify."

Tong Quan'an said: "He is the deputy captain of the Demon Sect Supervision Team. The task you are about to perform is to go to the Xushu Mountains to assassinate him."
