Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Tangning said thoughtfully, "When are you going to leave?"

"The Nether Sea organization has strict internal disciplines. We cannot be like you Xuanmen disciples. You can leave whenever you want, and it doesn't matter if you disappear for a few years. I need to make some preparations. I will contact you when everything is ready."

"Are you sure that the location of the secret treasure has not been discovered?"

A trip back and forth to Qinghai is not that simple. The journey alone takes at least a year and costs millions of spiritual stones at least. If it fails, it will be a waste of money.

"No, but I can guarantee that if the secret treasure is still there, it will definitely be worth the money. It will definitely be worth your time and millions of spiritual stones to gamble. This can also be regarded as a meeting gift for our cooperation. "

"What exactly is it?"

Ding Jianyang smiled slightly: "Let's keep it secret for now! I will tell you when I contact you to set off."

Seeing his confident and mysterious look, Tangning became more and more curious, but she didn't ask any more questions: "Why did the Netherworld Sea Organization send you to investigate me?"

Ding Jianyang said: "During this period, many Taoist sects have launched self-examination operations and are strictly prohibited from communicating with intelligence exchanges. Your team also punished several disciples for this. Previously, unidentified people went to various intelligence exchanges to inquire. A lot of information about Taixuanzong’s disciples stationed in this city.”

"The higher-ups suspect that the identity of the disciples in your regiment has been exposed or it is related to this. According to our intelligence information, the unidentified person is most likely you."

"So they sent me to track and investigate your movements. If you are ordered to go to the intelligence exchange again to collect information, then we will give you some false news to mislead you in the direction of your investigation and make you confused."

Did the Netherworld Sea Organization find out about him so quickly? Tangning was startled, her mind was spinning, and she began to speculate who had leaked the news. There were probably only a few people who knew about this matter.

Apart from himself, there should be only Yu Qian, Huang Yuan, and Fang Dasheng. Which link caused the problem?

The most likely person is Yu Qian, because Fang Dasheng and Huang Yuan, as senior leaders of the alliance, knew the whole story and issued orders to their direct superiors. It is impossible for them to have private contact with the Netherworld Sea Organization.

Otherwise, the Netherworld Sea Organization would have known its purpose early on, and the alliance would not have been able to uncover the three disciples who had intelligence transactions with the Netherworld Sea Organization.

Yu Qian was not directly involved in this mission from beginning to end, but he was undoubtedly one of the insiders. Even if Huang Yuan had not told him about the specific content of the mission, he could still deduce it based on the causes and consequences.

I don’t know if he himself has contact with the Netherworld Sea Organization, or if someone around him leaked the news.

If the news is leaked...then it will be difficult to determine the candidate, anyone can do it.

Including Tangning herself, she also revealed to several people in the Sixth Team directly under her control about the secret mission.

There are so many possibilities. With the amount of information he currently has, it is impossible to determine the direction, let alone accurately identify the candidate.

"How did you know that person was me?" After much deliberation, Tangning decided to ask directly.

"I was just ordered to act, and I don't know the specific circumstances. If you want to investigate this matter, I advise you to give up the idea to avoid unnecessary disaster." Ding Jianyang glanced at him: "Of course, if you want to take credit for this, , tell your alliance leaders, that’s another matter. At most, I lost this risky gamble, and you will lose an important partner and intelligence source.”

"How did you know that I would pass this way and ambush you here in advance?"

"Because someone gave me information."

"who?"

"I don't know. I'm monitoring your movements in the forest two thousand miles south of the Tianniu Mountains. Once you leave the Tianniu Mountains, someone will send me news. This person is very cautious and never shows his face, so I also Don’t know his true identity.”

"Then how do you contact me?"

"He conveys messages to me by manipulating a puppet."

"Puppet? What puppet?"

"A very common second-level puppet, you can buy it everywhere on the market."

"He told you through the puppet that I was going to the inner city?"

"No, I deduced it myself. He just told me that you left the Tianniu Mountains, so I will wait for you here. No matter where you want to go, even if you are not going to the inner city, you need to pass through the inner city. Take a merchant ship."

"In the same way, no matter where you go, you will definitely return to the inner city in the end. I just need to wait for you to return to the Tianniu Mountains from the inner city."

"When did he tell you?"

"Last night around midnight, I suggested that you stay out of these things. It would do you no good."

Tangning was speechless.

Ding Jianyang glanced at him: "I've said everything you want to know, I'm sincere enough!"

"If you have anything to say, just say it."

"You already know my details. As a partner, do you have to reveal some details? I'm quite curious as to how you stood out and were selected as a disciple by Tianxuan Sect."

"My wife is Liu Ruhan, a disciple of Taixuan Sect. Her master is Nangong Muxue, the inspector of the Ministry of Liability. Back then, Nangong Muxue was passing by Xingang and happened to meet my wife, so she took her to Taixuanzong and accepted her as a disciple." Tangning did not hide anything, and brought Liu Ruhan and Nangong Muxue's relationship revealed that compared to the intelligence information revealed by Ding Jianyang, this was not a secret at all.

Ding Jianyang smiled and said: "I see. I didn't expect you to have such a strong relationship background in Taixuan Sect. It's deeper than I thought. It seems that my decision was right."

"So, it was Nangong Muxue's working relationship that sent you to Taixuan Sect. Then why did you come to Xuantang City? There must be some reason for you to come here!"

Tang Ning said: "Although Nangong Muxue helped me join Taixuan Sect, it was only at the request of my wife. In fact, she didn't pay much attention to me. In other words, from the beginning to the end, she never accepted me as one of them. part of it.”

"The reason why I came to Xuantang City is because Fang Dasheng, the chief of Taixuan Sect stationed in this city, is also a disciple of the master-disciple line. He knew about my relationship with Nangong Muxue, so he took the initiative to transfer me here."

"But he doesn't know that I have no weight in Nangong Muxue's heart at all."

Ding Jianyang didn't show any disappointment or surprise when he heard what he said. He just nodded: "It's expected, otherwise you wouldn't have stayed in Xingang Qian Yizong for so many years. If I were Nangong Muxue, I wouldn't be able to treat my disciple. My son-in-law is so caring."

"But she still helped you enter Taixuan Sect, which at least shows that you still have a place in her heart."

"It's just because of my low cultivation and low ability that I didn't catch her eye. Given time, if you can achieve a certain status, I believe she will be able to accept you."

"Since your wife Liu Ruhan knew that you were taking a post in Xuantang City, didn't she come to visit you?"

Tang Ning said coldly: "You don't need to make insinuations. My wife has a deep love for me. It's just Nangong Muxue who got in the way, which kept me and my husband separated from each other."

Ding Jianyang smiled: "That's the case, you have nothing to worry about. Since Nangong Muxue is willing to send you to Taixuan Sect for the sake of Madam, it shows her love for Madam."

"As long as your wife never abandons you, it will only be a matter of time before you join their inner circle."

"Of course, you have to be able to keep up with your own cultivation in advance."

Tangning said: "You don't need to make suggestions for me, let's talk about yourself! How will you report the investigation of me to the Netherworld Sea Organization after you return?"

"You don't have to worry about that. How to report it is my business."

"That's it! If there's nothing else, I'll leave first." Tangning stood up and said.

"I wish us happy cooperation in the future." Ding Jianyang said with a smile, raised his glass and drank it down in one gulp.

………………

Tang Ning left the room, escaped from the light, walked for most of the day, and returned to the cave in the Tianniu Mountains. She sat on the futon, recalling the conversation with Ding Jianyang, and her mind could not be calm for a long time.

After not seeing each other for so many years, Ding Jianyang has successfully broken through the middle stage of Jindan. He has also joined the Nether Sea Organization and serves as the important information mouth of Xuantang City.

As his cultivation level improved, his whole person felt a little vague and uncertain.

To be precise, it is not easy to grasp. When he was in Xingang, Ding Jianyang was just a chess piece in his hand, but he did not expect that now he has become a climate and is already on an equal footing with him.

Even during the confrontation between the two, he was always in a passive position, feeling like he was being led by Ding Jianyang.

Ding Jianyang has always been pretentious and ambitious. Now that he has left the Xingang Zhu family and joined the Netherworld Sea Organization, even the city has become a bit unfathomable.

He is still not sure whether Ding Jianyang sincerely wants to cooperate for mutual benefit, or whether it is a trap organized by the Netherworld Sea.

Now we can only take one step at a time. If the Nether Sea Organization really wants to instigate rebellion against them, even if they reject Ding Jianyang's request for cooperation, they will find another way.

Instead of being suspicious all day long, it is better to agree first and then act on your own initiative.

At least one thing is certain, that is, the secret about Zhu Mingxuan's injury is definitely not a trap organized by the Netherworld Sea.

It is impossible for a selfish person like Ding Jianyang to tell the Nether Sea Organization the secrets he has worked hard to find out for many years.

After thinking about it for a long time, Tangning decided to prepare herself first and be prepared.
