Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Around the ugly hour of that day, he came out of the attic and flew into the air with his flying sword. Not long after he walked, he caught up with a man in front of him wearing the costume of Youmei Sect and shouted: "Fellow Taoist, please stay."

The man stopped, with an unhappy look on his face, and frowned, "What's the matter with you?"

Tang Ning apologized and said, "I wanted to borrow something from my fellow Taoist, but I expected that my fellow Taoist would be stingy and refuse to give it to me. But I have to borrow it, so I will apologize first."

The man heard his words strangely and confusedly, and he also became somewhat interested: "You are so strange. I met you by chance, and you asked me to borrow something for no reason, knowing that I would definitely not accept it. Tell me about it." What do you want to borrow?”

"I'll borrow the head from my fellow Taoist Xiang." Tang Ning said and grabbed it with one hand. The huge spiritual power in his body surged towards him.

The man's expression changed drastically, and he felt that the massive spiritual power around him was trying to squeeze towards him: "You are..."

Before he finished speaking, the bones of his body were already squeezing his spiritual power, and when the words reached the corner of his mouth, no sound came out.

The man's face was ashen, and the spiritual power in his body was surging. He was fighting against the invading spiritual power, just like a glass of water to a car's salary. The huge spiritual power squeezed down like a sea, and his facial features were distorted and his limbs were deformed. .

Tang Ning grabbed his shoulder and arm with one hand, wrapped her spiritual energy around him, and walked straight away from the light. After walking for a while, she landed in a mountain forest, where the man had passed out.

Tangning placed him in a cave, stripped him of his clothes, put them on himself, took out a bamboo hat from his storage bag and put it on, and put on a large black robe to cover his figure.

Then he jumped up from the light and came to Yuanxiu Peak. He used the technique of escape to get to the door of the attic of the gambling house, showed his body, and strode into the pavilion.

A woman came up to her and said, "Fellow Taoist..."

"Give me a thousand spiritual stones in exchange. It's on the third floor." Tang Ning interrupted her with a hoarse voice.

The woman was slightly startled and responded: "Okay, fellow Taoist, please come with me."

The two of them came to the cabinet one after another. Tang Ning took out a thousand spirit stones and handed them to the man at the counter. The man took the spirit stones and was about to put them away when Tang Ning suddenly took action. With a wave of his hand, several golden needles shot out. go.

The two were less than a foot apart. The man heard a strange movement, but before he could react, the golden needle came out of his body, leaving several wounds the size of a little finger between his chest and abdomen.

The man turned around in disbelief, covering the wound with his hand, and his body fell softly.

Seeing this, the woman couldn't help but turn pale in horror. She suddenly retreated and shouted loudly: "Someone is committing murder, come quickly!"

Tang Ning ignored her. She was only at the third level of Qi refining and did not dare to approach her.

In a flash, he arrived in front of the cabinet, swept away all the spiritual stones stored in it, and left in a hurry.

"Thieves, please leave."

"Crazy thief, how dare you be so presumptuous."

Several angry shouts were heard from behind. Tangning didn't even look back, she used her flying sword and walked straight out of the attic.

Furious sounds came from behind one after another. The two parties were chasing and fleeing, but they could not travel more than a mile or two. There was a sound of breaking through the air behind them, and a long sword several feet high was slashed in the air. Tangning looked back and turned over The shield was in front of him.

There was a rumble and the shield shook slightly.

"Who are you? How dare you come to this pavilion to commit murder and rob goods." A man shouted loudly.

"Why are you talking to him so much? First capture this thief and then interrogate him carefully." Another man said, forming a seal in his hand, several fire dragons formed and rushed towards Tang Ning.

The three of them started working together, one with a sword, one with a knife, and one with a stick, all of which were top-quality magic weapons. The shield shattered inch by inch without being supported for a while.

The long sword burst out with light and slashed straight down. Tangning's figure dodged, and one of his arms was cut off by the sword light. At the same time, the black stick shot out and hit him directly in the chest.

Tangning groaned, blood surged from her arm, and she ran backwards.

Naturally, the three of them would not let him go and chased after him. However, when they saw that he was escaping at an extremely fast speed, they left the three of them behind and drove straight down the mountain forest with their swords.

The three of them chased into the mountain forest, but he was already gone.

"Where's the man? I clearly saw him fleeing here, but why is there no trace of him?" A man said.

"It must be here, let's search separately." Another person said

The three of them separated and searched for a long time. They searched the entire mountain forest but could not find his figure. They couldn't help but look at each other.

"This man is so weird. He was obviously seriously injured, but his escape speed increased sharply. Seeing him fall here, there was no trace of him." One person said.

"It must be some kind of secret method. Let's go back and report it to the head of the family." Another person said

The three of them returned the same way and arrived at the place where the fierce fight had just taken place. One of them went straight down with his sword and picked up the bloody arm that had been chopped off. They saw that there was a blue long sleeve wrapped under the black robe.

"Come and see," the man shouted.

The two men lowered their weapons, took his broken arm, and frowned: "Disciples of the Youmei Sect?"

The long blue sleeves under this black robe are the costumes of the Youmei Sect.

"Why do people from Youmei Sect come to this pavilion to commit murder and rob wealth?" one person asked in confusion.

Another person snorted coldly: "The Youmei Sect has evil and crooked ways. In addition, due to its massive expansion, it has recruited so many casual cultivators. The good and the bad are mixed. Many people originally made a living by killing people and looting goods. They only want money if they give out one or two people." , What’s so surprising about a desperate thief?”

"This matter is not something you and I can decide. It's better to inform the head of the family first."

The three of them took the severed arms, raised their magic weapons and flew away in the air.

Tangning emerged from the ground, her left arm already growing out. Without the sleeves and robes to cover her, her white and tender baby-like arms were exposed to the cold and humid air, looking very uncoordinated.

His face was slightly pale, and regenerating an arm consumed a lot of his spiritual energy. He deliberately asked the steward of Yuan Xiufeng Gambling House to cut off an arm in order to leave clues about the Youmei Sect. This was the first step of the entire plan. .

In the past few days, he had been visiting gambling houses and staying up all night. The first reason was to find out more about the people in Yuan Xiufeng Gambling House.

Second, it is waiting for opportunities.

He cannot act as a foundation-building monk, otherwise it will cause suspicion and unnecessary trouble.

If you want to do this flawlessly, you must disguise yourself as a disciple of the Youmei Sect in the Qi Refining Stage. Therefore, you must wait for the owner of the Yuanxiu Peak Gambling House to leave before you can act, otherwise you will be exposed as soon as you make a move.

He lurked for several days, and finally waited until his boss, Han Rui, left, then started to take action, committing murders and stealing money. He was then chased by steward Yuan Xiufeng. After a fierce fight, he left clues to the Youmei Sect and escaped.

The plan was executed perfectly, everything was as he expected, without any deviation. No matter how shrewd and suspicious the Han family was, they would never have thought that someone would be willing to give up an arm to frame a Qi Refining disciple of the Youmei Sect!

The purpose of all this was to lure the snake out of its hole. The Yuanxiu Peak Gambling House was opened by the Han family, and the person behind the gambling house was Hu Xufan, one of the two remaining Golden Elixir monks of the Corpse Puppet Sect.

After the integration of the Youmei Sect, it occupied the western part of Chu State, and the leaders of all the tribes occupied their own territory.

The southeastern part of Qinchuan was controlled by Hu Xufan, although the Corpse Puppet Sect was merged with the Youmei Sect.

However, Youmei Sect offered generous conditions to the two remaining Jindan monks. One of the conditions was that the territory that once belonged to them still belonged to them.

Therefore, the southeastern part of Qinchuan is still in the hands of Hu Xufan. He serves as the honorary steward of all gambling houses and lofts here, and gets a certain amount of dividends from them.

These affairs are all taken care of by Hu Xufan's disciple Zheng Wei.

The Yuan Xiufeng Gambling House was robbed, and the Youmei Sect disciples were involved. The Han family would definitely inform Hu Xufan about this matter. Hu Xufan would not personally intervene in such a trivial matter, and Zheng Wei would definitely handle it.

This was Tang Ning's purpose. First, he would lure Zheng Wei out of Xushu Mountain, and then lure him into a trap step by step. He would replace Xiao Huishao's identity and become Tong Quan'an's high-level agent lurking within the Demon Sect.

……………

Huangzhu Peak, the Han family's residence, outside the main hall.

A man came down with his sword, walked into the hall, came to the retreat room, and rang the wind chimes.

Soon, the stone door turned around. Inside, a tall and thin man in his forties or fifty was sitting cross-legged. It was Han Juyuan, the head of the Han family. He saw the man outside walking in and asked, "What's wrong? You're here so late at night." ,What happened?"

The man saluted and said: "Master of the family, three hours ago, Yuan Xiu Peak was robbed by unknown monks, who injured Jiahua and took away the saved spiritual stones."

Han Juyuan's expression changed slightly: "How many people are on the other side and what are their cultivation levels? Can they be captured? How much is the loss?"

"Only one person, who is at the ninth level of Qi refining, failed to hold the opponent, and the loss was about five to six thousand spiritual stones."

Han Juyuan frowned and looked unhappy: "A mere ninth-level Qi Refining monk dared to hurt people and steal money in our gambling house? Why did you let him escape? Where is the seventh brother? Where are the others?"

The man replied: "Uncle Qi went to Tainan Valley to buy cultivation elixirs and has not come back yet. Ah Wei, Yuan Jie, I, and I chased the thief. During the fight, we seriously injured him and cut off one of his arms, but Let him escape."

Han Juyuan was even more displeased, his face darkened, and he snorted coldly: "With the combined efforts of the three of you, you can actually make a ninth-level Qi Refining monk escape. If word spreads, the Han family will be completely embarrassed by you."

"My nephew is incompetent, please punish me."

"Don't say such useless things. Can you see his appearance clearly?"

"No, that person was wearing a black robe and a hat, but you could tell he was a man."
