When he was led into the spacious and bright hall, a middle-aged man with a Chinese character face, slightly white temples, a strong back, bright eyes, and a calm and powerful expression was already waiting.

This person was Shangguan Chengyuan, the headmaster of Taixuanzong. Although it was the first time for Tang Ning to meet Shangguan Chengyuan, he had already seen his portrait, and there could not be anyone else waiting here.

"Headmaster, Master Tang Ning has been brought here." The disciple who led him in bowed and saluted.

Tangning also bowed immediately: "Greetings to the Master."

Shangguan Chengyuan waved his hand, and the man who led him in consciously retreated, and the thick stone door of the hall closed again. "Sit down! No need to be polite."

"Thank you, Master." Tang Ning followed the instructions and took her seat, with a light and friendly smile on her face. She did not show any embarrassment or arrogance, as if she was just meeting an old friend.

This calmness and calmness are not pretended, but come from the heart.

To him, the headmaster of Taixuanzong was no longer a great figure. He had confidence in his heart, so he was naturally calm and composed.

Shangguan Chengyuan glanced over and nodded slightly. His voice was deep and steady, and he praised: "Back then, when I heard that a Qingzhou disciple killed the grandson of King Qingjiao against all odds, I had a vague feeling that this person would definitely be great in the future. Something has happened. But I didn't expect that this premonition came so quickly. At that time, you were just a monk in the middle stage of the Void Refining, and now you have entered the Mahayana realm in just over a thousand years. This kind of advancement is really shocking. "

"Headmaster is so complimentary, but I don't deserve it. I am here today just because I have more opportunities than others." Tang Ning said neither humble nor arrogant.

"It would be great if our sect had more talents like you, so there would be no need to worry about all those troubles."

"The disciple is deeply grateful for the kindness of the sect. Without the sect, the disciple would not be where he is today. It is the disciple's lifelong wish to serve the sect. I only hope to pacify the demons in Qingzhou in order to repay the kindness of the sect."

"It's good that you have this heart. Although you joined the sect halfway, the sect has always treated all disciples equally, regardless of whether they joined earlier or later. The fact that you are here today is not only your own blessing. , it is also a great joy for this sect. Do you know why I invited you from Qingzhou?"

"Disciple, I don't know. Please teach me, Master."

"I received a letter personally sent by Junior Brother Han and learned about your deeds. I was worried that the Qingzhou Allied Forces would punish you for leaving your job without authorization, so I transferred you to the sect to protect you from Qingzhou. Punishment by the coalition forces," Shangguan Chengyuan said.

"Junior Brother Han talked about his concerns in the letter. After all, the Qingzhou Alliance Army had already made a decision to punish you. Now that you have returned to Qingzhou, if your previous violation of the rules will be forgotten because your cultivation level has greatly increased, in this way, The prestige of the Qingzhou coalition will inevitably drop."

"But if you are severely punished, this sect will lose a powerful combatant. He is in a dilemma and doesn't know how to make a choice, so he reported the matter to me."

"The reason why I called you back to the sect is, firstly, to meet you, and secondly, to prevent you from being punished by the Qingzhou coalition forces."

"When you return to the sect, Junior Brother Han won't have to worry about how to deal with your affairs. There won't be any discussion below that the Qingzhou Alliance Army's regulations are based on people's choices and are in vain."

"In this way, we will not only protect your safety, but also avoid the face of the Qingzhou coalition forces. It will be easier for everyone."

"I see." Tangning nodded calmly, but she was thinking to herself that Han Siyuan might have bad intentions.

The reason is simple. If he doesn't want to be punished, there is no need to go all the way to report this matter to Shangguan Chengyuan. Because the top brass within the Qingzhou Alliance Army do not support the punishment plan, he can make his own decision. After all, this is Qingzhou. Since the senior leaders within the coalition have no objections to the coalition's affairs, the coalition coach can certainly handle it mildly as he should.

But Han Siyuan reported the matter to Shangguan Chengyuan. There was only one explanation, that is, he had a disagreement with the majority of the Qingzhou Allied Forces, but it was difficult to raise it directly, so he reported it to Shangguan Chengyuan. If there was support from Shangguan Chengyuan, , he can justifiably advocate punishment.

As for worrying about the decline in the prestige of the coalition forces and not knowing how to make a choice, it's all nonsense.

"You have never been to the mountain gate since you joined the sect. You just take this opportunity to go back to the sect for a while and learn about various matters of the sect. I think you will stay in Tianyuan City from now on. For the time being, you can stay in the sect. Don’t go back to Qingzhou. What do you think?”

"Since I joined the sect, I have been serving in the Qingwu Camp. Now my disciple, his wife, and his wife are fighting to the death in the Qingzhou Allied Forces against the demons that invaded Qingzhou. My lifelong wish is to eliminate the troubles in Qingzhou for the sect. If given the chance, this disciple hopes to return to Qingzhou to serve the sect.”

Tang Ning did not want to stay in Shanmen. All his connections were in Qingzhou. The most important thing was that his cultivation required a large supply of demon pills and magic crystals. With the chaos in Qingzhou, it was better for him to fish in troubled waters.

If he returns to the Taixuan Sect, he will have no foundation and no power support, so it will be difficult for him to obtain those demonic elixirs and magic crystals.

But when Shangguan Chengyuan opened his mouth, he couldn't refuse outright, so he spoke politely.

"The main reason I am bringing you back now is to temporarily avoid the spotlight. If you stay in Qingzhou, there will definitely be a lot of people watching you. In addition, Junior Brother Han is not easy to deal with, so I called you back to the mountain gate. When time passes, your affairs will My son is gradually forgotten. When the time comes, I will let you go to Qingzhou."

"Okay!" Shangguan Chengyuan said it to this point, and he could no longer insist on it: "Since it is the master's wish, the disciple will obey the order. But I don't know what I can do after returning to the mountain gate?"

"You stay in the sect for a while first and become familiar with the various matters and rules and procedures of the sect. After a while, I am going to let you serve in the Xuanmen Alliance Army."

"The Xuanmen Alliance?" Tang Ning frowned slightly. He had never heard of this team before.

"After the invasion of the demon world broke out, the Xuanmen stationed in Tianyuan City formed a coalition to show their sincere unity and jointly fight against the demons, mainly to help the states and counties that were seriously invaded by the demons and were unable to resist. This is A mobile reserve army. If the Xuanmen-controlled counties are unable to resist the invasion of demons, they can request the Xuanmen coalition forces to be sent to help. Currently, the coalition forces are stationed in Tianyuan City. Junior brother Rao Yi of our sect will serve in the coalition forces in the future. , you go and replace Junior Brother Rao Yi."

"Then if I go to serve in the Xuanmen Alliance Army, will Senior Brother Rao Yi continue to stay there? Or will he return to Shanmen?"

"He replaced you and went to Qingzhou to take up a post, which is equivalent to the exchange of positions between you. The purpose of transferring you from the Qingzhou Allied Forces was to solve the problem of your previous absence from the post without permission, but a Mahayana monk was transferred away for no reason, causing losses to the Qingzhou Allied Forces. There must be many people there who are dissatisfied with an important combat force, so I transferred Junior Brother Rao Yi over so that they would have nothing to say. I had already talked to Junior Brother Rao Yi before, and he had no objection to it, so that's why. Bring you back."

"Disciple understands."

"Tell me about your own situation! Why did you suddenly leave the Qingzhou Alliance Army?"

Tang Ning then reiterated the rhetoric he used to deal with the investigation and questioning by the Qingzhou coalition forces. The two of them talked indoors for a while. Although Shangguan Chengyuan was curious about his rapid improvement in cultivation and breaking through the Mahayana, he did not pursue it thoroughly. He only understood the general situation of the details, and finally said: "You can rest at the mountain gate for a while, and then go to serve in the Xuanmen Alliance Army after you are familiar with the affairs of the sect."

"Then disciple, please leave first." Tangning knew that the conversation was over, stood up and said.

After leaving the room, a disciple waiting outside immediately led him to a resting place.

Seeing his figure disappear from sight, Shangguan Chengyuan's eyes flickered, he picked up a thick stack of files under the desk and started to read through it again. The word "Tang Ning" was clearly written on the cover.

After a while, a man came in from outside, bowed to him and said, "Master, Master Tang Ning has moved into Wenhua Garden."

Shangguan Chengyuan didn't even raise his head and continued to flip through the thick files in his hand: "Investigate everyone he has contacted in detail, including his experience during the Qinghai period. From now on, I want to know His every move, as well as his wife and disciples, must be closely monitored."

"Disciple understands." The man said hesitantly: "Teacher, do you need to send someone to monitor Uncle Nangong?"

"You don't have to worry about it."

"yes."

………

The next day, Tang Ning was practicing meditation with his eyes closed when a knock on the door came from outside. He opened his eyes and waved his hand to open the stone door. A tall and tall man came in from the outside, bowed to him and saluted: "Tang Ning Uncle Master, the leader sent someone to send a message, asking you to go to the meeting hall."

Tangning nodded, stood up and walked outside.

The majestic and precipitous mountain seemed to have been flattened from the waist with a sword. Under the support of the power of the magic circle, it was suspended in the air. There were cranes flying and screaming around, and a rainbow of seven-color light spanned the entire mountain. It looked magnificent. , an ethereal image, very fairy-like.

In the past, Tangning might have admired it, but now she just shook her head secretly. These ordinary people dreamed of ascending to the fairy world and becoming immortals.

In their fantasy, immortals should be high on the fairy mountain, overlooking all living beings.

Therefore, he lifted a high mountain into the air at a high cost and created an imaginary fairy-like style to satisfy himself.

However, real immortals don't care about this. The palace of death is depicted in the murals left by the ancestors of the Haiyue clan. In fact, it is just like that. At most, the restrictions are stronger, and there is no such pretense at all.

In fact, if it weren't for those gods and Taoist ancestors who possess supreme power that ordinary people can't match, they would look like ordinary people.
