Chronicles of Celestial Origins

"You're here." Knowing the woman's arrival, the man didn't look back and continued his movements, saying calmly.

"Someone has already suspected you. Stop! If you continue like this, it won't be long before you are exposed." The woman said.

The man paused and turned around, but saw that his face was extremely pale, as if he was seriously ill and was about to die soon. He smiled slightly and said in a soft voice: "It doesn't matter. It's a matter of time. We will succeed soon."

"What are you going to do next? Leave Newport?"

"There's nothing left worth remembering about this place."

There was a brief silence in the room. After a while, the woman seemed to gather her courage, her eyes full of hope: "Will you take me with you?"

"No, I need a chess piece here. Maybe one day I will come back."

The hopeful look in the woman's eyes quickly dimmed, like a hot flame doused in a bucket of ice water. She walked out of the basement silently without saying a word.

………………

In the Taoist temple, Guan Sheng and Yin Qingyuan rushed over after receiving the secret message from Xuan Ying, and several people gathered in the wing.

"Junior Brother Tang, have you found any clues?" Yin Qingyuan asked.

"Yes, we captured a corpse insect host. According to his explanation..." Tangning recounted the entire incident.

Yin Qingyuan frowned: "Wu Guo?"

Tang Ning asked, "I sent a message to you ten days ago using the Shuiyun Sect's Black Eagle. Why did you arrive now? What happened?"

Guan Sheng and Yin Qingyuan looked at each other with shock on their faces: "I just received your message the day before yesterday."

"Me too."

After such a confrontation, the matter was clearly revealed. Needless to say, Shuiyun Sect must have been responsible for seizing his message.

Yin Qingyuan looked a little unhappy. Shuiyun Sect's intention of doing this was obvious, just to delay them. Maybe Shuiyun Sect had sent people to Wu State to seize the mastermind and take them to his sect.

The room fell into silence for a while. Shuiyun Sect gave them a hand. Now they have completely fallen into a passive situation. Not to mention arresting the mastermind behind the scenes, they can't even get first-hand intelligence information.

There was nothing we could do about it, after all, it was their territory, and the Shuiyun Sect was deliberately on guard against them, and there were too many ways to make them trapped.

After a while, Guan Sheng said: "What should we do next? Do we still want to stay in Qi? We have lost the opportunity."

"Go to the Shuiyun Sect and find out how far they have gone. If the person behind the scenes has been captured, we can only negotiate with them through the sect and make a request for cooperation."

Yin Qingyuan sighed slightly. It must be said that he was a little aggrieved that things had developed to this point. They were completely led by the Shuiyun Sect.

……………

In the main hall of the Taoist temple, Jiang Yunsheng was sitting cross-legged on the futon, refining his Qi and practicing.

A female disciple pushed open the door and walked in, handed him a letter, whispered a few words and left in a hurry.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

The door opened, and a disciple led Yin Qingyuan in. Jiang Yunsheng stood up and greeted him with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Yin, what can I do?"

Yin Qingyuan said: "I came here to ask fellow Daoist Jiang for advice on capturing the source of the immortal spirit."

"Please take a seat quickly."

The two sat opposite each other, and Yin Qingyun said: "You and I belong to the Xuanmen, so we should work together. Our sect sent us to assist your sect in investigating and arresting us. However, your sect does not seem to trust us very much."

Jiang Yunsheng said: "Why did Fellow Daoist Yin say this? All the information we knew was told to fellow Daoists of the Guizong without any concealment. Many of the previous action strategies were also completed with fellow Daoists of the Guizong. Including the arrest and interrogation of Wei An The host of the corpse insect, Wang Xuan, and fellow Taoist disciples of the noble sect are all present, so how can you say that you don’t trust him?”

"But according to our sect's junior brother Tang, he sent a letter to us through your sect's channel Xuan Ying as early as ten days ago. Why did we not receive the letter until the day before yesterday?"

Jiang Yunsheng said in surprise: "Oh? Is this happening? It must be that the schedule was not arranged in time and the fellow Taoist was neglected. I would like to apologize to the fellow Taoist. Let me investigate later and I will definitely punish you severely. "

"Fellow Taoists are the distinguished guests of our Shuiyun Sect, and we must give priority to protecting you in everything we do. Fellow Taoist also knows that many people have been sent out to investigate the source of the undead spirits during this period. Xuan Ying comes and goes frequently, which is quite difficult. Fellow Taoist Don’t worry, this won’t happen again next time.”

Yin Qingyuan said: "Since fellow Taoist friends are so sincere, we naturally have nothing to say. I only want to ask one thing. Your sect has obtained new clues. Can you send people to the Kingdom of Wu to arrest the person behind the scenes? How is the progress? Daoyou Jiang will not even hide this!"

"I was about to discuss it with fellow Taoists! We did send people to investigate, and they have returned now."

"Oh? How's it going? Have you captured him?"

"Several senior brothers from our sect went to Wu State based on the clues provided by Wang Xuan and found the basement, but that place had been sealed off by the Qingyang Sect. After talking to them, our senior brothers from our sect conducted a private investigation for several days. , no important clues were found, and he returned to the sect yesterday. "

"So, Qingyang Sect has grasped many clues. I wonder if they have captured the person behind the scenes."

"As far as we know, there is none yet, but..." Jiang Yunsheng hesitated.

Yin Qingyuan said: "What's wrong?"

"The attitude of the Qingyang Sect is very strange and they are quite taboo about this matter. Our sect proposed to cooperate with them in the investigation, but they refused."

"Oh? Is there such a thing? Could it be that they have found out the person behind the scenes?" Yin Qingyuan pondered.

Qingyang Sect's attitude is very unusual and worth pondering.

Although the three Xuanmen sects in Xingang are bound to have some infighting, they still insist on helping each other in the general direction and live in harmony.

The cooperation between the three sects has never been interrupted, such as the mining of Xuanyue Mountain's spiritual mines, the distribution of resources, and the attitude of fighting against the Demon Sect.

Under normal circumstances, requests for cooperation between sects would not be rejected. This would hurt the relationship between the two sects. Especially at this time, when the Demon Sect was plundering, it was even more necessary to cooperate sincerely.

Therefore, when Qian Yizong found clues in Qi State and proposed a joint investigation, Shui Yunzong agreed immediately.

They also roughly guessed the intention of Tangning and others coming here, but due to the friendship between Xuanmen, it was difficult to refuse, and there was no need to refuse. They just needed to be a little more cautious. This was their territory, and they wanted to restrict a few of them. There are many methods of action for Yi Zong's foundation-building monks.

In the same way, there is no need for Qingyang Sect to reject Shuiyun Sect's request for cooperation, so this matter seems strange. "

"What are you going to do?"

Jiang Yunsheng smiled: "Since Qingyang Sect has rejected our request for cooperation, the most we can do is not cooperate with their monks. They can't ban us from going to the border of Wu Kingdom!"

Yin Qingyuan nodded: "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Jiang, for telling the truth. Farewell."

After saying that, he left the main hall and returned to the wing.

"Senior Brother Yin, how are you? Have they captured the mastermind behind the corpse insect host?" Guan Sheng asked after Yin Qingyun entered the door.

"No, Shuiyun Sect's disciples went to Wu State to investigate clues. The basement they controlled was blocked by Qingyang Sect. Now Shuiyun Sect's investigating monks have returned to their sect. And Qingyang Sect rejected Shuiyun Sect's offer of cooperation. proposal."

As soon as these words came out, everyone felt that the matter was not simple. Qingyang Sect's reaction was abnormal. Is there another mystery behind this matter?

Guan Sheng pondered: "Could it be that Qingyang Sect has already captured the mastermind behind this, and in order to hide this matter from us, we refuse Shuiyun Sect's request."

Yin Qingyuan said: "This possibility cannot be ruled out, or maybe there is an unknown secret hidden in this matter, and the Qingyang Sect does not want us to know. In any case, the Qingyang Sect must have grasped many important clues, and we cannot do this again. Sitting on the wall is a missed opportunity. I want us to leave immediately for the Kingdom of Wu."

"What's Shuiyun Sect's attitude?" Tang Ning asked

"Fellow Daoist Jiang said that the Shuiyun Sect will send people to conduct a secret investigation."

"Then do we need to act with them?"

Yin Qingyun shook his head and said: "That's not necessary. Since the clues have been transferred to Wu State, Shuiyun Sect can't provide much help. If we act together and catch the mastermind in the future, they will definitely press against Shuiyun Sect, and it will definitely happen. If there are differences, it’s better to act alone and each can do what he can.”

Guan Sheng said: "Why don't you talk to the sect first and go to Wu State to investigate privately without getting an order? If there is a conflict with the Qingyang Sect monks in the future, I'm afraid I will inevitably be blamed."

"Before I leave, the headmaster promised me to act according to the situation. However, Junior Brother Guan's concerns are not unreasonable. I will write a letter now and ask them to forward it to the sect for us through the channels of Shuiyun Sect."

After saying this, Yin Qingyuan turned his left hand, took out a pen and paper, wrote a letter, and came to the main hall.

"Fellow Taoist Yin is here, have you discussed it? Should you continue to stay here, go to Wu Kingdom, or return to the sect?" Jiang Yunsheng said when he saw him coming.

Yin Qingyuan handed him the letter: "We decided to go to Wu State to find out what happened. I hope your sect can forward this letter to our sect for me."

"That's no problem. Is there anything else we can help you with?"

"No need, I'll take my leave later."

"I won't send you far."

Yin Qingyuan left the main hall and turned into a ray of light and headed north with Tang Ning and others.

From 4:41 to 4:43 yesterday afternoon.
