Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Chapter 404: Lure the snake out of its hole (2)

The fat man smiled and said: "Brother Lu, you are too polite. In this case, it is disrespectful to my brother."

Tangning crouched underground, heard the two people's words, and roughly understood the whole story.

The man surnamed Zhang was obviously a member of the Youmei Sect Supervision Team. He arrested a member of the Lu family for unknown reasons, suspected him of being a Taoist spy, and imprisoned him. The man surnamed Lu therefore begged him for mercy.

It seems that the inspection team of the Demon Sect has great power and should have arrested many people. However, this Lu family member does not know if it is a trick arranged by the sect.

Tang Ning was slightly happy. He came to visit the Xichuan Pavilion with the intention of arresting a Demon Sect disciple as a "puppet" and asking about the situation of the Demon Sect.

I didn't expect such a coincidence to meet the foundation-building monks of the Demon Sect Supervision Team. It was really good luck.

In the room, the two of them exchanged glasses. After drinking for three rounds, the man surnamed Lu said, "I'll leave everything to Brother Zhang to take care of my nephew. I have other things to do, so I won't disturb Brother Zhang's enjoyment."

"Then I won't be far away, brother."

"Farewell." The man surnamed Lu left the house, and the fat man walked toward the back room with the woman in his arms.

Tangning quietly left the room and returned to Room No. 13. She left the room, left the attic, and flew away with her flying sword.

After a short walk, he saw no one around. He drew his sword straight down, escaped into the ground, turned back, and stood guard at the door of Wangxichuan's attic. He hid between a giant tree and waited quietly.

People were coming and going in front of the attic door. After a long time, I saw a graceful woman respectfully sending a fat-headed man out.

The woman whispered a few words to the side, and the man nodded arrogantly, turned into a ray of light and flew away into the sky. Less than half an hour later, he suddenly heard shouting from behind.

The man stopped and looked back, only to see a man with a high nose and deep eyes chasing after him with a flying sword on his feet, shouting: "Senior Zhang, please stay."

He was confused, but he didn't pay too much attention until the person chasing him came closer and asked, "Who are you? What's the matter?"

"Junior Lu Fengliang, my uncle asked me to come..."

The man was listening attentively when he suddenly saw a mysterious black seal shooting out as the other party flipped his hand.

The man's expression changed, and the two of them were one foot away from each other. Before he could react, the black seal hit his chest like a sharp knife, and the protective aura around him collapsed at the touch.

The man only felt the internal organs in his body surging, and the spiritual energy in his body was extremely chaotic. He opened his mouth and a mouthful of blood gushed out. Then his vision went black and his consciousness became confused.

His body fell straight down, Tang Ning flashed his light, and his spiritual power wrapped around his falling body, and he went towards the mountain forest below.

He used the rhinoceros seal as a hidden weapon and shot it, hitting the man unexpectedly. With his early foundation-building cultivation, the spiritual shield could not block the power of this top-grade spiritual weapon, and he easily took it down.

After an unknown amount of time, the man woke up and saw a vague figure looking down at him.

He took a closer look and saw that this person was none other than the deep-eyed man who had just attacked him. In an instant, his expression changed drastically. He stood up and was about to take action when he realized that his body was restrained and his spiritual power could not be mobilized.

"Don't bother, as long as you answer my questions well, I will let you go."

The man's face was ashen, and he knew that the current situation was one of man's and his own. Although the opponent seemed to only have Qi refining skills, his actual skills may be unfathomable, and there must be a secret treasure that hides Qi.

"Who is your honor? Why are you secretly attacking me?" The man looked frightened and uneasy.

"I just want to know a few things. If you cooperate obediently, I will spare your life. If you are stubborn and want to fight a trapped beast, or if you want to kill yourself, it's up to you."

"What do you want to know? How can you ensure that you can let me go after I cooperate?"

"Besides trusting me, do you have any other option? Now I'm going to ask you a few questions and give you five seconds to answer them. This is your only chance. If you don't answer, you're forcing me to kill you. "

"First question, who is your surname? What is your position in Youmei Sect?"

When the man heard his question, he felt a chill in his heart. The other party was definitely not just randomly arresting people for questioning. He might have been targeting him for a long time. He was so interested in Youmei Sect and was probably a Xuanmen monk. If so, he would definitely There is death and no life.

"Five, four, three, two." Tang Ning counted down slowly, like a death knell, ringing in the man's heart.

"In the next chapter, he is now the captain of the seventh team of the Youmei Sect Supervision Team."

"How many teams are there under the supervision team? How many people are there in total? Who do you all report to? Who is the highest person in charge?"

"There are ten teams under the supervision team. There are one hundred Qi Refining disciples and eleven Foundation-building monks. Generally, we report the progress to Senior Brother Zhang Zifeng. The person in charge is Senior Uncle Qiu Jian."

"Who is this Zhang Zifeng?"

"He is Uncle Qiu's disciple."

"How many people have you arrested so far? Who is the tallest monk among them?"

"So far, a total of thirty-seven people have been imprisoned, and the one with the highest cultivation level is a monk in the middle stage of foundation building named Cheng Bo."

"How did you find him? Is it really a mysterious work?"

"Senior Brother Zhang Zifeng arrested this person personally. I don't know the details. I only heard that he was found to have contacts with the Qianyi Sect monks, so he was arrested."

"Where's Xiao Huishao! He is a disciple of Hu Xufan of the Corpse Puppet Sect and has connections with the Qian Yizong. Zhang Zifeng is already investigating him. What clues do you have?"

The man was stunned: "Where did you get the news from? I have never heard of this."

Tangning glanced at him: "So you don't know?"

"I really haven't heard of it."

"Tell me about Zhang Zifeng! How much do you know about him? Does he have any preferences?"

"I'm not very familiar with Senior Brother Zhang Zifeng, so I really don't know what his preferences are."

"Does your supervisory team have any plans recently?"

"Investigating Xuanmen clues as usual, no special arrangements."

"It's October 8th! Did Zhang Zifeng mention anything?"

"No."

Tang Ning asked a lot of detailed questions. After interrogating them for more than half an hour, the man answered them one by one. In the end, there was nothing more to ask.

Seeing that he was silent, the man asked in a low voice: "Can your Majesty let me go?"

"Yes." Tangning nodded, knocked him out with a wave of his hand, then put his palm on top of his head and used the soul control technique. His consciousness invaded his Niwan Palace, swallowing up his original consciousness and occupying it. Niwan Palace controlled him.

"Zhang Qian." Tang Ning shouted, and the man slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were dull and he looked stupid.

Tang Ning repeated her previous question, but she was afraid that he would deceive her.

Zhang Qian answered one by one, but by the time he got there he was already delirious and confused, and he didn't know what to ask.

At nightfall, Tang Ning took him up into the sky with his body wrapped around him. In less than half an hour, he arrived at the City God's Temple, a hundred miles east of Jinping County.

This temple is very dilapidated, there are no fireworks for worship, and naturally there is no human habitation.

There was a thick layer of dust in the temple, and most of the statues had collapsed.

Tang Ning put a horse mask on Zhang Qian and escaped into the ground. His consciousness controlled Zhang Qian to walk into the temple and sit cross-legged.

He must be careful. If it is really a trap, Zhang Qian, the "puppet", can stand up and give him a chance to escape.

This was the reason why he went to Wangxichuan to capture the puppet. He hid in the dark and left quietly when the opportunity came up.

After waiting for two days, until October 8th, when the clouds covered the moon and the rain poured down, a ray of light fell in front of the City God's Temple, and a tall man appeared, wearing a bull-head mask on his face, pushing the door open and entering. , glanced at Zhang Qian who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, and asked: "Did your Excellency come from the southeast?"

Zhang Qian said: "People of the Ming Dynasty do not speak secretly. There are no outsiders here. There is no need to test Fellow Daoist Xiao. I have been ordered by the sect to come to help Fellow Daoist."

After hearing what he said, the man took off his cow-head mask and showed his true face. He had a fair complexion, regular features, and extraordinary handsomeness. He frowned, with a look of displeasure on his face: "Why did the Qianyi Sect send you here? I'm afraid you won't be able to help with your cultivation."

"You don't have to worry about this. Just tell me what I need to do."

Xiao Huishao said: "Fellow Taoist, please show your true face. Since you and I are working together, there is no way I don't even know who you are!"

Zhang Qian took off his mask.

Xiao Huishao's eyes narrowed and he said in surprise: "Is it you?"

Then he shook his head with suspicion and said to himself: "No, you are not. Who are you? Please show up and see me."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around suddenly and looked at the ground behind him.

Tangning emerged from the ground and revealed her true form. He had been observing outside just now and didn't notice anyone else following Xiao Huishao.

Since Xiao Huishao can come here alone, it means that he is not under the control of the Demon Sect, and the possibility of him actively rebelling is relatively small, so he can meet with him with confidence.

"Are you Tang Ning?" Xiao Huishao asked after seeing him.

When Tang Ning saw that he recognized her, she was slightly shocked: "How did Fellow Daoist Xiao know my name? I don't remember that we have met before."

Xiao Huishao smiled and said: "It is true that I have never seen Taoist Taoist Tang in person, but I have seen his portrait more than once."

"Where did Fellow Daoist Xiao say this?"

"I'm afraid fellow Taoist Tang doesn't know this yet! You are now the subject of intense attention within the Demon Sect. In the bounty list listed by the Demon Sect, your additional bounty reaches 40,000 spirit stones, ranking first."

"Bounty list?" Tang Ning asked confused. Since he was transferred back to the sect, he has been stationed outside the camp, so he has not received any information about the Demon Sect. He has never heard of such a thing before. Son, it must have been done recently.
