Chronicles of Celestial Origins

At night, outside the Pingling Mountain Spirit Mine formation, a ray of light shot out, and a man with a broad forehead and broad face appeared. He flipped his hand, and the transmission talisman disappeared into the formation.

Soon, a corner of the light curtain melted away, and a figure flashed out from inside. The two chatted for a few words and entered the inner room together.

"Master, a recruited disciple named Zhang Huan has escaped from Xuanqian Mountain and is waiting outside. Do you want to see him?" Inside the room, Gu Yuanya pushed the door open and asked.

"Send him in quickly."

"Oh!" Gu Yuanya responded and left, and not long after, she led a man here.

"Junior Zhang Huan pays homage to Senior Tang."

Tangning waved her hand: "No need to be polite, just sit down!"

"Thank you, senior." The man followed the instructions and took his seat.

"What's going on?"

"At that time, the junior was practicing indoors when he heard a loud noise that shook the earth. He hurried out of the room to check the situation and found that there was a Xuanling ship outside the formation attacking the defense formation. We were commanded by fellow Taoist Wang Xiang. Once the defensive formation was broken, they scattered and fled."

"Who attacked you?"

"The juniors didn't notice that the Xuanling Ship was still some distance away from us, and we could only see its huge figure from a distance. As for the monks on it, we really couldn't see clearly. I remember that after the formation withstood more than a dozen cannonballs, It was breached, and as soon as the light barrier disappeared, we fled from another direction."

"During your escape, was there anyone chasing you?"

"Junior is not being pursued. Since we are all scattered and fleeing, we don't know much about the situation of others. However, as soon as the defense formation was broken, junior did not see anyone on the Xuanling ship coming out to pursue us."

"Okay, I understand, you can go and rest first!"

"Junior, take your leave." The man stood up and left the room.

In less than a quarter of an hour, someone else came to report that Wang Xiang had escaped safely from Xuangan Valley.

Tang Ning met him in the cave and asked about some details. Like Zhang Huan, Wang Xiang also had no idea about the matter.

Around noon the next day, Gao Yuan returned to Pingling Mountain and informed that the people who attacked Xuan Gan Mountain had already fled.

In the next few days, there were recruited disciples who fled from Xuanqian Mountain one after another. They were all foundation-building monks with low cultivation levels.

It wasn't until the fifth day that the support personnel sent by the brigade arrived. The leader was none other than deputy captain Yu Qingxiao.

"To be honest, it was expected that something like this happened. It has reached this level, and it is difficult to be harmonious. Not only in Jingyuan Pavilion, Team 7 also suffered an attack from the Netherworld Sea Organization , their situation is even more serious than you, not only was the territory formation broken, but many disciples were killed and injured, even the captain of the seventh team, Junior Brother Xu Yuan, was not spared. "

The original black palace of Xuanqian Mountain Spirit Vein has long been reduced to rubble. As far as the eye can see, it is in a state of disarray. The spirit gathering array in the herb garden has been destroyed, all the elixirs and herbs inside have been destroyed, branches and leaves are broken everywhere, and everything is desolate. , the two of them were walking in the garden, with green branches and leaves under their feet, Yu Qingxiao said.

When Tangning heard this, she was shocked again: "When did this happen?"

"Just five days ago, you just reported that you were attacked. Within an hour, news came from Team 7."

Tang Ning frowned slightly and remained silent. Recently, there had been a lot of commotion between the Xuanmen, the Cultivation Family, the Chamber of Commerce, and the Netherworld Sea Organization in Donglai County. The city was full of turmoil, and there were already signs that it was heading in an uncontrollable direction.

In the past, the two sides only ambushed each other's merchant ships, but now they are blatantly attacking each other's cultivation resources. The nature is more serious, and the conflict has further worsened and deepened. If this continues, there is no guarantee that it will not turn into a war.

"Captain Xie has personally led people to the seventh team. You should also be careful."

"Are they doing this to start a full-scale war with Xuanmen?"

"It's hard to say. I think they deliberately want to make the matter bigger. They are sure that we will not go to war with them at all costs. Therefore, the bigger the matter becomes, the more beneficial it will be to them."

"We did not attack their territory, but they took the lead. The higher-ups will not just sit idly by and ignore it!"

"I don't know, everything is hard to say now. Whether to fight or not, and to what extent we will fight is not something you and I can control. Even the senior leaders of the sect cannot decide unilaterally. To put it bluntly, we are just an insignificant stone on the chessboard. Chess pieces. The next period should be chaotic, so you have to be careful."

"I know this."

The two of them were strolling around, chatting, and there were many disciples around them who were counting the losses.

………

Qinghai, Jining Island, in the majestic and majestic meeting hall, everyone gathered together. An old man with gray hair on the temples said: "Everyone is here. We are summoned for discussion this time. There is an important matter to be announced. The headquarters has instructed us. , all personnel immediately withdraw from Qinghai and stationed in Donglai County."

"What?" As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, and a man with full beard and cheeks shouted like thunder: "Why are we suddenly asked to withdraw from Qinghai? This is a strategically important piece of land that the headquarters paid a huge price to acquire, and The Qinghai breeding plan we have made over the years has been very effective. If we withdraw like this, wouldn’t all those years of hard work be wasted?”

"Yes! With so many people stationed in Donglai County, where will they be arranged? There are so many facilities on the island, are these large formations abandoned? You can't just drop everything and head inland with just one word. ”

"What is going on? Why did the order come so suddenly?"

The leader of the old man waved his hand and said: "Everyone, please be patient. This is the arrangement of the headquarters. Since the order has been issued, we are required to station in Donglai County immediately. We cannot disobey the order. All facilities will remain intact for the time being. The headquarters personnel will go to Yuanxian County, the branch there will accept us and make specific arrangements.”

"Recently, fierce conflicts have broken out between the headquarters and Xuanmen and the Aristocratic Family. In order to prevent Xuanmen from retaliating on a large scale, the headquarters requires us to station in Donglai County to support each branch."

"Everyone, get ready to go! The headquarters asked me to leave immediately within half a month and evacuate everyone from Qinghai."

………

In Donglai County, in front of the majestic and majestic city outline, a ray of light shot out, and a man with a fat head and big ears wearing Taixuanzong costume appeared. He was Zhang Fang, deputy commander of the Fourth Army.

"Senior, I wonder if I have anything to ask you?" Above the city wall, a member of the Netherworld Sea Organization quickly came forward and saluted.

"I, Zhang Fu, have come to visit Tao Yuan, your Taoist friend, on orders from my headquarters. Please inform me."

"Senior, please wait a moment." The man from Netherworld Sea turned around and disappeared into light.

After about a stick of incense, the man left and returned, inviting Zhang Fang into the inner room.

In the spacious and bright hall, the two people were seated respectively as guest and host. Tao Yuan, the director of the Nether Sea branch in Donglai County, sat in the main seat and said expressionlessly: "Fellow Daoist Zhang is not here to reminisce about old times, right? If you have anything to say, please speak up."

Zhang slandered: "Young Dao Tao, why should you be angry? The recent friction between your department and our sect is neither something we can control, nor is it my personal wish. In any case, we are still old friends, and we will not meet like enemies." Same thing!”

"If Fellow Taoist Zhang is here just to reminisce about old times, we can change our place and please come to our house to talk. Yan will entertain his friends wholeheartedly, but Yan has always had a rule that official matters are never discussed in private places. If Fellow Taoist is here for Since business is here, we can only discuss things here. You and I are our own masters, and friendship can only be put in the back. "

Zhang Fang smiled and shook his head: "Fellow Tao Tao's temperament has not changed at all. He is as clear-cut as ever about public and private affairs. In this case, if you don't say anything secretly in front of Mingren, I will speak out. If there is any offense, I hope you will forgive me."

"I have received news that all the personnel of your branch stationed in Qinghai have been evacuated a few months ago and are now on their way to Qingzhou. May I ask what you mean by doing this?"

Tao Yuan said coldly: "It seems that there is no need to report to Guizong for the transfer of personnel in the headquarters!"

"Of course it's not necessary. However, Qinghai is a territory ceded to you under the coordination of our sect. If your organization no longer needs this place, our sect will take back Qinghai and send people to garrison it. After all, it is between Qingzhou and Mubei. If we don’t stay at the critical moment, the Mubei demons will rush to take over.”

"Please." Tao Yuan said calmly.

Zhang Fang's eyes narrowed, and the smile on his face grew colder: "Do you really mean what you said, fellow Taoist? Are you really willing to give up Qinghai, which you have been running for so many years?"

Tao Yuan said: "Do we have any other choice? Is there still a place for us in Qingzhou now?"

"Back then, we took the initiative to lend a helping hand when Guizong and Qingzhou comrades were in danger to help you repel the Mubei demon. For this, we paid a huge price. We thought that the alliance between us would be unbreakable, but Guizong and Qingzhou comrades did not know that our alliance would be unbreakable. He turned his face and refused to recognize anyone."

"Since we entered Qingzhou, Guizong and his colleagues in Qingzhou have made things difficult for us, deliberately excluded us, and made many small moves."

"Now that we have announced a comprehensive cooperation with the Qiankun Chamber of Commerce, it is a voluntary business relationship between both parties. Both our headquarters and the Qiankun Chamber of Commerce are allies of your sect, not enemies. The three parties could have peacefully coexisted and worked together, but your sect is so petty and can't tolerate it. People are really chilling.”

"In this case, let's all withdraw from Qingzhou and return the jurisdiction to you. All personnel of the headquarters will retreat to Yanzhou to find their own way out."

"After our headquarters leaves Qingzhou, we will no longer be allies with Guizong. When the Mubei demon attacks again, it will have nothing to do with us."
