Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Qixia Mountain is located in a strategic location, and there are escaping lights shooting past from high in the sky.

Tang Ning was hibernating among the treetops in the south of the valley, quietly waiting for the Kunyan Chamber of Commerce's merchant ship. About half an hour later, she saw a Wind Spirit ship speeding from the southwest, with the flag and sail on the bow. There are four big characters written on it: Qianxuan Chamber of Commerce.

The merchant ship went further and further away, and soon disappeared from sight. In less than a quarter of an hour, another merchant ship from the Liuyun Sect passed by quickly. This valley is one of the main roads leading to Fengyating City, where merchant ships come and go. Quite frequently.

Until nightfall, I saw a small black dot coming from the southeast. As the distance got closer and closer, the small black dot became larger and larger in the field of vision. It was a merchant ship. Tangning took a closer look and couldn't help but feel refreshed.

This ship is their target, with the four characters "Kunyan Chamber of Commerce" written on the flagpole on the bow.

He set off in a hurry and ran away at full speed. In less than a quarter of an hour, he came to Ji Lingchao, bowed and saluted: "To report to the two master uncles, the disciple discovered that the merchant ship of the Kunyan Chamber of Commerce was coming from the southeast and headed northwest. Just drive away."

"Are you sure?" Ji Lingchao asked quickly.

"Disciple can clearly see that the four characters "Kunyan Chamber of Commerce of Nuo Da" are written on the bow flag and sail."

"Okay." Ji Lingchao said: "Tang Ning, please inform Peng Yuan and Peng Chu that your cultivation base is low and you don't need to participate in the next thing. You will just wait here for our news. If we don't return within an hour, , you can leave on your own and don’t worry about us. Junior Brother Yu, we will go meet them.”

Yu Qian nodded and said hello. The two of them disappeared in a flash and appeared more than ten miles away in the next moment.

Tang Ning also escaped from the light and first came to the north of the valley. With her consciousness far away, she found Feng Chu and explained her purpose. Then they found Xu Yuan together.

When the three of them returned to the agreed place, Ji Lingchao and Yu Qian were already waiting there.

Tangning was not surprised to see them returning so soon. With Ji Ling's late-stage Nascent Soul cultivation and Yu Gan's assistance, it was not easy to rob a Xuanling ship.

Generally speaking, Xuanling Ship can only have at most one Nascent Soul cultivator on board, and it is most likely a Nascent Soul cultivator in the early stage. How could it possibly resist the attacks of Ji Lingchao and Yu Qian? I am afraid that the moment they saw the two taking action, they had already Abandoned ship and fled.

"Let's go! This matter is over. Return to the Yiyang Mountains to gather and wait for Master Ren's next instruction." Ji Lingchao said, and everyone jumped into the sky and headed to the southwest.

……………………

The majestic and majestic city walls cover the area thousands of miles away. There are huge cannons displayed on the city walls. People are coming and going in the city. This is the headquarters of Kunyan Chamber of Commerce.

In the antique hall, senior executives of the Kunyan Chamber of Commerce gathered together. A tall middle-aged man sat in the main seat above. He was Zhang Yunlong, the president of the Kunyan Chamber of Commerce. His voice was loud and thunderous. Like a drum.

"The reason for convening this emergency meeting must be clear to everyone. You should be aware of what happened in the past few days. In just a few days, seventeen of our merchant ships were robbed. Obviously, someone is deliberately targeting them. This Chamber of Commerce.”

"Many of these plundering groups include god-level monks. They know the movements and routes of our merchant ships very well, and most of them focus on plundering property. Now there are constant rumors from outside, and several big business deals have been suspended."

As soon as Zhang Yunlong finished speaking, a man with gray hair on his temples coughed slightly. He was Geng Hao, the vice president of Kunyan Chamber of Commerce, but he heard him say: "There are no outsiders here, so there is no need to hide it." , open the skylight and speak frankly!”

"The situation of our Chamber of Commerce is now on the verge of life and death. This is by no means alarmist, but a fact that we will face. As for the enemies who plundered merchant ships, there is no need to deliberately search for them. No matter who they are, it will be of no use to us to find them. benefit."

"And I dare to assert that these things are by no means the actions of a certain force alone, but the cooperation of many parties. It is a comprehensive suppression of us. Among them, the Xuanmen sect and the cultivation family may be involved. These people may be very powerful. , even if you apply for help from the Business Alliance, you may not be able to do anything to this group of people, but this is not the most important thing. "

"The key is that if we don't take action to quell this incident, the situation will inevitably develop in a worse direction."

"The so-called push to overthrow everyone, those forces that are at odds with us will definitely be ready to take action when they see that we have dispersed. They will inevitably fish in troubled waters and join this feast of sharing our food. By then, we will really become the target of public criticism, so the top priority is to calm down Their encirclement and suppression, rather than finding out who the enemy is.”

Another old man with white beard and hair gently rubbed his white beard and said: I agree with Vice Chairman Geng. We cannot sit still and wait for death, let alone passively rely on the assistance of the merchant alliance. In just a few days, we have lost the merchants of seventeen merchant ships. goods, even three merchant ships outside Xuantang City were robbed. "

"Obviously, there is a big force behind all this. They only rob merchant ships and rarely kill or injure monks. This is a warning to us. People inside and outside the Chamber of Commerce are now panicked, and rumors are spreading. If we don't show anything, the consequences will be unimaginable."

A man with a beard and full cheeks said: "What Vice-President Geng and Elder Zhang said is true. The problem is that we don't know who the other party is now, and we don't know what their purpose is. How can we show goodwill and let them..."

Before he finished speaking, a white-faced man hurried in from outside the hall, bowed to Zhang Yunlong and said, "Master, Lingnan Grand Master Xu Fu has requested to see you for something important."

"Invite him in."

"Yes." The man left in response. Not long after, a middle-aged man with big ears walked away quickly, bowed and saluted: "My subordinate Xu Fu pays homage to the president. President, around the time yesterday, Tianyuan Guling The mine was robbed by a group of men in black, led by a spiritual monk. Tang Yi, the manager of the spiritual mine, was killed, and the disciples guarding the mine suffered heavy casualties. "

"When my subordinates got the news and rushed to Tianyuan Valley, the murderer was nowhere to be found. The Tianyuan Valley's storage was looted. According to the surviving disciples, the other party dispatched a total of more than a dozen monks, including two monks who transformed gods and Nascent Soul. There are at least ten monks."

"After they broke through the spirit mine formation, they carried out a killing spree and transported all the materials stored in the spirit mine on wind spirit ships. When we arrived, the building was already empty."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall had different expressions. Zhang Yunlong's face was as dark as water and he waved his hand: "I understand, you can go down first!"

Xu Fu retreated in response.

The white-faced old man said calmly: "It seems that some people can't sit still anymore. We can't hesitate any longer, otherwise all the forces in Xuantang City will pounce on us like wild dogs and eat us. By then, it will be difficult to recover."

"The problem is, we don't know the other party's purpose yet, so we have to prescribe the right medicine." said a person below.

Hao Geng said: "If my guess is correct, the reason why so many people are targeting us is actually because they are targeting the Netherworld Sea organization. It is precisely because we announced our cooperation with the Netherworld Sea branch in this city that we were attacked by them. "The encirclement and suppression."

"Although the Netherworld Sea Organization has entered this county, both the Xuanmen and the cultivating families are very wary of them, and they keep making small moves in secret. Our cooperation with the Netherworld Sea Organization has obviously violated their taboos, so they took action against us."

"Otherwise, I really can't think of any other reason that would allow such a powerful force with such influence to attack us from all sides, but at this point in time, they still haven't made their attitude clear."

"The mastermind behind this may be Taixuan Sect or Mirror Moon Sect, or the Jiang family or Liu family, or at worst a force of the same level as the B-level Xuanmen or the Sima family."

"No matter who it is, we can't compete head-on. The only way out is to express our attitude and suspend cooperation with the Netherworld Sea Organization."

The bearded man with full cheeks said: "Since you are dissatisfied with the power of the Netherworld Sea Organization, why are you targeting us instead of attacking them directly? Isn't this a sacrifice of the good and the weak?"

Geng Hao said: "No, there are several reasons why I concluded that this incident is related to the Netherworld Sea Organization."

The first is the coincidental timing. "

"Second, is the attitude of the Netherworld Sea Organization branch in this city. Why are they willing to make such a huge profit to cooperate with us to produce warships and chariots? I was confused before, thinking that they had just arrived in this city and were not familiar with the personnel. I want to show my sincerity, so now I understand everything.”

"Presumably they have encountered resistance from Xuanmen or cultivating families before. They know that those big forces are secretly restricting their development, so they can only choose to cooperate with us, so they keep their attitude low because they have no choice."

"Third, it's the attitude of the other party. Except for the murder and robbery that happened in Tianyuan Valley yesterday, the seventeen merchant ships we were robbed before rarely killed monks, and they even robbed many merchant ships. After that, the transportation materials were destroyed on the spot.”

"This makes me even more convinced that they are coming for the forces of the Netherworld Island organization. If they don't kill people, it means they are not for revenge. If they don't plunder goods, it means they are not for wealth. If they are not for hatred or wealth, what else can they do? "

"If they have direct enmity with us, a big force that can dispatch so many people to ambush everywhere at the same time can do more than just rob merchant ships. They are using actions to hint or warn us."

"As for why they don't attack the Netherworld Sea Organization directly, there are many reasons. First of all, it must be that they don't want to fall out with the Netherworld Sea Organization and cause a head-on confrontation."

"Secondly, not long after the Qinghai War ended, the Nether Sea Organization contributed a lot to the war and was one of the contributors to the war. The agreement to hand over part of Donglai County to them was already signed long ago. Everyone in the world knows that, if they openly attack them Taking action would be unjustifiable both emotionally and rationally, and would also arouse the criticism of the world.”

"Third, taking action against us can serve as a warning to other forces, so that other forces will not dare to cooperate with the Netherworld Sea Organization. It can be said that their encirclement and suppression of us is for other chambers of commerce to see."

"In this way, we not only avoid a head-on collision with the Netherworld Sea Organization and cause unnecessary trouble and criticism, but also achieve the same effect."

"Fourth, in such a big operation, there is no guarantee that everything will be perfect. If any of them fall behind and are captured, and their identities are revealed, it can be said to be a personal grudge against our Chamber of Commerce. You can use whatever reason you want. "

"As long as they don't explicitly attack the forces of the Netherworld Sea Organization, they won't be burdened with the burden of treachery, and other forces that are ready to move will have no excuse to use this accusation to pressure them and get involved."

"In this way, we can achieve our goal, avoid giving others the advantage, and also shock other chambers of commerce. It can be said that it is just right with one stone. The initiator behind the whole thing must be a wily and scheming figure."
