Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Chapter 693: City Guard Battle (9)

As Tang Ning fled, he was far away from the central area at the end of the station. He saw the colorful rays of light rising straight into the sky through the yellow mist in front of him. He was overjoyed. This ray of light was exactly the same as the giant gate of rays of light that he passed through before. It must be to attract people. The team returned to the teleportation gate of the city.

Many monks rushed towards the colorful rays of light and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Tang Ning also headed towards the Xiaguang Giant Gate. Passing through this gate was like passing through a layer of water curtain, with the space shaking sharply visible to the naked eye.

There is nothing in sight, like a white light flashing. In the blink of an eye, people have passed through the light curtain.

A huge formation altar stands below, with more than a hundred monks sitting around it.

Many figures in front are monks who have passed through the Xiaguang Giant Gate.

The surroundings were still filled with yellow smoke. Tangning turned around and saw that there was nothing behind her but the giant gate of glowing light.

Soon, two or three more figures came out one after another, as if they appeared out of thin air.

Immediately after landing, more and more monks came out of the light door, many of them were injured and dripping with blood.

About a quarter of an hour later, several rays of light flashed through the giant gate, and a figure appeared. The leader, with a smooth brow and a bright face, was none other than Bai Jintang, the captain of the Seventh Regiment.

At this moment, his figure actually looked a little embarrassed, his face was extremely pale, his hair was messy, and there was a trace of blood on the corner of his mouth. It was obvious that he had been through a big battle with someone.

Behind these few people, dozens more people came out of the light door one after another, all of them were monks directly under the Seventh Regiment.

When Tangning saw this situation, she knew that the "Feiyang" Wind Spirit Ship must have been destroyed, so everyone fled alone.

With a flash of light, he walked towards Bai Jintang and bowed his head: "Greetings, senior."

Bai Jintang glanced at him and didn't say much. He just nodded. At the same time, dozens of escaping lights came to him from all directions, all of them were monks who were fleeing from the direct team.

As many warships and chariots poured out of the Xiaguang Gate, the teams regrouped.

On the "Ming Yue" Wind Spirit Ship, the separated people of the 7th Regiment gathered on the deck. They looked miserable, with missing arms and legs everywhere. The injured were crowded and leaning on various parts of the deck, and a group of monks were surrounding them.

Tang Ning and more than ten people from the second team directly under her gathered around a seriously injured person with thick eyebrows and big eyes. This person's surname was Tang Mingyuan, and he was a disciple of the Canglang Sect.

He was severely injured in Linghai Point. Although he barely escaped, he was unable to recover. He fell into a coma and vomited blood.

Everyone watched helplessly as his vitality gradually disappeared, and they remained silent.

Not long after, Bai Jintang and a group of high-level officials from the regiment came out of the cabin, and everyone gathered.

In addition to the captain, deputy captain, and inspector, the unit also has seven stewards, which is exactly the number of ten stewards in the Xuanmen Department.

In the last battle with the Mubei demon outside Cangyun Island, two stewards died, and later stationed on the island. The Qingzhou Xuanmen Alliance allocated a large number of manpower to replenish the lost personnel of the Fourth Army, including the murdered stewards.

However, after these two battles, the entire 7th Regiment suffered heavy losses, with more than one-third of the casualties. There were originally more than a thousand monks, but now there are only about 600 left. Three of the ten stewards were also killed, including the Regiment. vice captain.

The other two are the steward of the main team and the steward of the deputy team.

Of the three wind spirit ships in this battle group, two were damaged and only this one was intact.

Countless warships and chariots were damaged in other teams.

Bai Jintang said: "Today, Mubei demon troops are approaching the city. Although you have experienced a life-and-death battle, the demon siege has become more and more fierce, and our headquarters has no time to rest. The army ordered us to immediately join the city guard team and coordinate the defense."

"At this time of life and death, you should think more about your service and eliminate demons. Otherwise, when the city is broken, the demons will enter the island, and all the jade and rocks will be burned, and no chickens or dogs will be left. Even if you don't think about the overall situation of Xuanmen, you should also think about your own plan. ”

"The demons of Mubei have formed iron barrels on the inside and outside of the island. The purpose is to completely annihilate the island's garrison. For this purpose, the only way to survive is to fight to the death."

"The Qingzhou Alliance has urgently ordered the troops garrisoned on the islands in Qinghai to set off and are on their way to rescue us. The 7th Legion of Wuying Island and the 3rd Legion of Xuanyu Island set off the day before yesterday. As long as you persist in holding on for a few more days, When the rescue corps arrives, they will be attacked from both inside and outside, and they will be able to defeat the Mubei coalition. "

"Not only did you save your lives, but you also made great contributions. Everyone will receive a generous reward."

"Due to the heavy casualties in our headquarters, we decided to compress the formation of the regiment and cancel the division of main team and deputy team. All the teams directly under the original Fengling Ship were transferred to the "Ming Yue" Fengling Ship."

"The first team merged with the third team, the fourth team merged with the seventh team, and the eighth team merged with the ninth team."

"The remaining squads with half of their casualties or more than half of their warships and vehicles destroyed will be arranged by the brigade to merge to ensure the team's combat effectiveness."

"Each team immediately counts casualties and reports."

"Yes." Everyone responded.

Many warships and chariots headed towards the city and stopped in the open plains.

In the second-floor hall of the Fengling Ship "Ming Yue", in addition to the second team directly under the "Ming Yue", there are also monks from the second team directly under the "Sky Eagle" and the second team directly under the "Feiyang". Everyone gathered together Office, discussing many matters regarding team merger.

Qiao Wanxing, captain of the second team of the Mingyue, is a plump middle-aged man with a smile on his face.

"You all are old acquaintances, so I won't say any more polite words. Now our three teams are grouped into one team. It can be said that we have reached the same goal by different paths. But having said that, we are originally the same team. We just acted separately before. Junior Sister Yan, do you think so?"

Yan Minyi nodded slightly: "What Senior Brother Zhuang said is true, but a team should always have a commander to lead the overall situation. We came to the "Ming Yue", Senior Brother Qiao is the host, and we are the guests. The so-called guest follows the owner, from now on If you have anything to do, including deploying against the enemy, just ask Brother Zhuang."

Qiao Wanxing said: "In that case, I will do my duty. From now on, all the actions of the team will be discussed and implemented by our three teams. Fellow Daoist Zhang and Fellow Daoist Yu, do you have any opinions?"

Fang Qian, the captain of the second team directly under the "Sky Eagle", was killed in this battle, and a new captain was not appointed, so the team was temporarily led by inspector Zhang Yu and deputy captain Yu Fang.

"This team will follow the arrangements of our two fellow Taoists." Zhang Yu said.

Qiao Wanxing then assigned tasks to everyone. Some were responsible for controlling the console in the cabin, some were responsible for the internal maintenance of the warship, some were responsible for sending the wounded to the rear for recuperation, and the rest were stationed on the deck of the warship.

Although after two battles, each team suffered heavy casualties, the three teams merged into one, and the number of people was still more than enough. Now the entire second team directly under the merging has reached 42 people.

Among them, there are thirteen monks in the second team of the "Feiyang" wind spirit ship, fifteen people in the "Ming Yue" wind spirit ship, and fourteen people in the "Sky Eagle" wind spirit ship.

Everyone returned to their places, and Tangning and others came out of the cabin and came to the deck. Leaning on the bow of the ship, she saw large and small warships and chariots stretching endlessly outside. The light was flowing, making it look magnificent and majestic.

All three columns of the Fourth Army stopped here. After a great battle, everything seemed particularly quiet.

Tang Ning watched the light coming and going on the Wind Spirit Ship. A group of people escorted an injured person to the Tianling Ship and sent him to the rear to recuperate.

My heart suddenly felt a little mixed.

Seeing these people being sent to the Heavenly Spirit Ship one by one, he was both happy and envious in his heart.

I am glad that I was not injured in the war, and I am envious that they can stay away from such war.

At least I don't have to worry about what happens next, and I still don't know if I can avoid the next disaster.

The so-called hero's rise brings great disaster to the common people.

He now fully understands this sentence. He is just one of the many people who suffered in this tumultuous crisis and the emergence of numerous heroes.

The fight between demons and Taoism for the world is originally for the survival interests of the racial class. In the final analysis, it is a struggle between big sects and big forces. It has nothing to do with monks from small sects like them. However, under the overthrow of the nest, the eggs were completely destroyed. Does not exist.

The Xuanmen in Qinghai have always relied on Taixuanzong to occupy a position and seek the continuation of the sect. They rely on the Xuanmen identity to survive in the cracks of all forces.

Once the general trend of the world suddenly changed, they were involved in the whirlpool and became the victims of the struggle between the two sides.

When you think about it, it's actually quite funny.

A small and unknown sect like the Qianyi Sect did not actually gain much benefit when Xuanmen dominated the world, but just barely survived.

But now that demons are on the rise, the first to be harmed are these sects that have always been at the bottom of Taoism and have become stepping stones for demons.

However, the top Xuanmen of those major sects, such as Mirror Moon Sect, Cangming Sect, and Shangyuan Sect, are as stable as a rock.

This was originally a war that had nothing to do with him, but he was inexplicably involved in it, and he had to risk his life to fight for a chance to survive. After all, it was just because of his low cultivation and weak ability.

Therefore, there is no way to escape the involvement of this whirlpool, and you can only fight for others.

After going through so many wars, always wandering on the edge of life and death, not knowing whether he would survive tomorrow, he hated this war to the extreme, but he had no ability to get rid of it.

This emotion made him very depressed and irritable.

"Fellow Taoist Tang." A tall, broad-shouldered man with big ears walked up to him and said hello.

"Fellow Daoist Zheng." Tang Ning nodded towards him as a return gift.

The visitor was Zheng Xian, a monk from the second team of the former "Feiyang". The two of them often drank and gambled together, and they were quite familiar with each other.

"I just saw that you were in a daze, and you seemed to be very touched." Zheng Xian said, leaning on the bow of the ship, side by side with him, looking at the endless stretches of warships and chariots.

Tang Ning said: "As long as we are human beings, we will have joy, anger, sorrow and joy. It is not easy to calm down. What's more, we have just walked through the gate of hell. Is it possible that Fellow Daoist Zheng is indifferent at all?"

Zheng Xian sighed: "So what if we have thousands of emotions? We are trapped on an isolated island and have become trapped animals in prison. We can't even guarantee whether we will live or die tomorrow. What's the use of sighing in vain?"

"To be honest, I am particularly envious of those free and unfettered casual cultivators. At least they can stay and go as they please. Even if the situation changes suddenly, they can stay and leave whenever they want, unlike us who have no choice but to stay with us. Mubei Demon Fighting."

"Fellow Dao Zheng, what you said is wrong. Rogue cultivators seem to be at ease, but in fact they are just boats in the ocean, drifting with the tide. A few years ago, when we stationed on this island, the entire island was under martial law. Were there too many rogue cultivators who were killed in vain? Then? No one envies them at that time. They all have their own difficulties. Although the world is vast, how many people are free?"

Zheng Xian smiled slightly: "Fellow Taoist Tang's words are clear, yes! How many people in the world are able to achieve freedom? Let alone you and me, even the sect leaders and others have their own concerns and worries. The difficulty is that people only look at what is in front of them and care about themselves.

"The so-called wind and water turn around. Xuanmen has controlled the world for so long, and finally aroused a backlash. It's just that we were unlucky and it happened to be the turn."

"To be honest, I have been practicing under the protection of the sect before and have never fought against Mubei demons. Before I was transferred to the Fourth Army, I thought that this might be an opportunity to change myself. Now I understand what a bullshit opportunity it is. "

"The legends of those great monks who became famous always have all kinds of hardships, life and death crises and opportunities coexisting, huh, it's all bullshit."

"A crisis is a crisis, and just like where we are now, I don't see any opportunities anyway."

Tang Ning didn't expect that on the surface, he was calm and calm, but when he opened his mouth, he was gushing like a flooded river. It seemed that he had a belly full of complaints in his heart.

"I never thought about the opportunity. From the beginning, this was a disaster for us. Your Canglang Sect is a big sect after all. Unlike our Qinghai Sect, when the Mubei demons came up, we couldn't even Their habitats are gone, and they are running away like a bereaved dog.”

Zheng Xian said: "It's all the same now. There are no sects anymore. The Mubei demon army doesn't care whether you are the Taixuan Sect or the Canglang Sect, and the monster's belly won't pick on anyone."

Tangning shook her head slightly: "It's still different. At least you know why you joined the Xuanmen Alliance, and you also understand why you have to fight against the Mubei demon. In other words, you have a way out and have enough reasons to fight against the Mubei demon. "

"If the Mubei demon enters Qingzhou, your Canglang Sect's territory will be divided up, your cultivation resources will be plundered, and your sect will be in danger of being destroyed. This really involves the interests of every disciple of your sect."

"If you can prevent the demon from going south, you can protect your sect and protect your own interests. Once the war is over, you can return to your sect. Naturally, you will receive rewards."

"And our sect has long existed in name only. Even if we win this war, our situation will not change in any way, and we don't know where to go from now on."

"For us disciples of the sect that have long since dispersed, this is a meaningless war."

Zheng Xian said: "Misfortune depends on blessings, and blessings rely on disasters. It is difficult to determine blessings and disasters before everything comes to the end. As fellow Taoist Tang said, you have been on a small island in Qinghai before. If the Mubei demon hadn't risen, you would be here now." As the master of a sect, my life is safe, my life is not in danger, and I don’t have to go through such a big battle. "

"But that's just the end of it. As far as I know, the sects on many islands in the Qinghai Sea are no more than level C Xuanmen, and their cultivation level is only limited to the transformation of gods."

"Not to mention that your Xingang is a small island, and there must only be a few Nascent Soul monks at most."

"What kind of development can I achieve by staying in Xingang? Although there is no danger of life, I am just waiting to die. I just live a few more days and lose a few days."

"Now that you have left Xingang, although your future is slim, at least you have hope. Coupled with your relationship with Senior Bai, he will always support you. If you have the opportunity to join Taixuan Sect, it will be like a carp leaping over the dragon's gate. , the jackdaw turned into a phoenix.”
