Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Chapter 413 Killing someone with a borrowed knife (2)

The man with a leopard head and ape arms said: "I suspect that it may have been done by a Xuanmen monk. With Zhang Qian's cultivation, how could he disappear and be killed for no reason. Moreover, he was quite tactful and did not offend anyone too much."

"The Lu family was looking for him to fish out their imprisoned son Lu Tianming. He has been missing since then."

"In less than ten days, the Han family gambling house was robbed. Is there any connection between the two?"

Zhang Zifeng said: "You mean? Zhang Qian's murder and disappearance and the Han family's incident were all caused by Xuanmen monks?"

The man said: "I don't rule out this possibility. I guess that Xuanmen disciples may have sneaked in. First, we seized Tong Quan'an's letters, then Zhang Qian was killed, and someone made trouble in the Han family gambling house. Within a month, Zhang Senior brother, do you think this is a coincidence?"

Zhang Zifeng nodded slightly: "Inform everyone immediately to secretly investigate the strange monks who have sneaked in recently. If you can kill Junior Brother Zhang Qian silently, your cultivation level must be high. The main focus is on the strange foundation-building monks. Once discovered, immediately monitor them. "

The man said: "What should we do with Zheng Wei? Should we arrest him directly? His recent whereabouts have been mysterious. I suspect that he secretly met with a Taoist disciple who had sneaked in."

Zhang Zifeng said: "Don't worry yet. If he really meets with Xuanmen disciples, we can follow the clues and capture them."

"Hu Xufan is still influential in the original Corpse Puppet Sect. I am locking up his disciple based on these mere speculations, fearing that he will not stop."

"I have reported this matter to the master, and he has the same intention. He asks us to act with caution and not to act rashly until we have evidence."

The leopard-headed man said: "If he leaves the sect again next time, do you need to send someone to follow him?"

"Let Junior Brother Wu follow you from a distance, so you don't get discovered."

"good."

………………

Zheng Wei returned to Xushu Mountain and studied the yellow cloth album in the cave day and night, but still found nothing. After more than twenty days, he lost his temper and left the sect again.

After traveling for more than a day, we arrived at Mingxia Mountain and entered the cave.

Tang Ning was sitting cross-legged on the futon. When she saw him arriving, she quickly stood up and saluted: "Senior is here."

Zheng Wei frowned and said impatiently: "Is your master not back yet?"

"Yes, this is a common thing, senior, don't be impatient."

"Don't you know your master's movements at all?"

Tang Ning shook his head: "We casual cultivators have always been at home all over the world and have no fixed residence. Even this cave was opened in recent years as a temporary residence. In a few years, we may go elsewhere."

Zheng Wei didn't say anything more, but his face wasn't very pretty, he frowned and said nothing.

Seeing this, Tang Ning took the initiative to retreat and gave the main room to him.

Three days later, Zheng Wei couldn't bear it anymore. He left the cave, threw a pill to Tang Ning, and told him to notify him as soon as possible if his master came back.

After saying that, he turned into light and disappeared away.

Tangning returned to the cave, shrank her body, and escaped underground.

After a long time, a figure slowly emerged from the rock wall. It was a man with a broad forehead and a broad face.

After the man appeared, he came to the cave with a flash of light. His consciousness was far away, but he didn't notice anyone. The whole cave was empty. He frowned, thought for a long time, and searched every place in the cave carefully.

He lurked into the stone wall again and stayed there for a whole day without finding anything, so he left the cave and disappeared into light.

Not long after the man escaped from the light, a figure slowly appeared outside the cave. Tang Ning looked at the direction in which he escaped, and raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

His spiritual consciousness had long been aware of his hidden figure, but he kept pretending not to know. After Zheng Wei left, he returned to the cave and fled away.

The person monitoring Zheng Wei must be someone from the Demon Sect's Supervision Team. If he can't find anyone here, he will definitely go back to the Demon Sect to report the matter. Next time I will definitely want to take the stolen goods personally.

Not far to Tang Ning's left, Jiang Yuhuan's figure slowly appeared: "Why don't you take action?"

"It's not time yet, just wait a little longer. The main target hasn't appeared yet."

"What if they arrested him and interrogated him directly internally?"

Tang Ning shook her head and said: "Hu Xufan is still able to speak within the Demon Sect. I don't think they will be so easy to arrest his disciples as Meng Lang. Just because he went out to meet an unknown person in secret, what if Ordinary disciples may be able to make it into a fine work directly, but for someone with his status, the evidence is obviously not enough. "

"We have to be careful these days. Since the Youmei Sect Supervisory Team knows the meeting place, they are likely to come here and wait, hoping to capture us first and then arrest Zheng Wei."

………………

In Xushu Mountain, outside Zhang Zifeng's cave, a ray of light fell down, revealing the figure of a man with a broad forehead and broad face. With a wave of his hand, the talisman was passed into the thick fog. Soon, the thick fog billowed and cleared a passage.

The man went straight inside and came to the main room of the cave. Jishou said, "Senior Brother Zhang, I have a clue. I followed them to the place where they met."

Zhang Zifeng's expression changed: "Tell me specifically what happened?"

"They met in a mountain range at the junction of Qinchuan and Beiyuan. There was a cave in the middle. After Zheng Wei entered, he stayed for three full days before leaving. There was a Qi Refining monk guarding outside the cave. I was afraid of being discovered. I didn’t dare to get too close.”

Zhang Zifeng said: "Stayed for three days? Have you found out who met him?"

The man said: "After Zheng Wei left, I didn't see anyone coming out of the cave for a long time, so I ventured inside and saw that there was no one inside, including the Qi Refining disciple who was guarding the outside. After entering the cave, he also Disappeared inexplicably.”

"Originally I thought there was a secret passage hidden in the cave, but after searching carefully inside and outside for a long time, I couldn't find the secret passage. So I lurked in the cave again and waited for the rabbit. I waited for a whole day, but no one came. I I'm afraid something might change if it's too late, so I came back quickly."

Zhang Zifeng frowned: "No one is in the cave? They won't find you, right?"

The man said: "I don't know, this is what I'm worried about. If they found me, why didn't they just take me down? If Zheng Wei dared to come back, wouldn't he be seeking death? If he didn't find me, why would the cave be empty? No one is there, which is really weird.”

Zhang Zifeng was silent, frowning and thinking.

"Senior Brother Zhang, how about arresting Zheng Wei first and interrogating him?"

Zhang Zifeng shook his head: "The clues we have now are not enough to convict him. On the contrary, they will alert the snake. He can completely quibble and say that he is meeting a friend. The important thing is that the contact person who met him Catch it. Do you think the person meeting him is Tong Quan’an?”

The man said: "I'm afraid this is impossible! If Tong Quan'an comes in person, I won't be able to come back. If Senior Brother Zhang is worried, he only needs to send someone to inquire about it. Tong Quan'an is at the Yingxia Mountain Camp, look at him like this Are you going out for a few days?”

Zhang Zifeng said: "Let's do this! You and Junior Brother Zhou will take the people and ambush them at the meeting place to see if you can catch the person meeting him. Be careful and don't be discovered, otherwise all your efforts will be wasted."

"I know." The man exited his cave. Not long after, a group of people quietly left Xushu Mountain and headed north.

After walking for more than a day, we arrived at the top of Mingxia Mountain. With a gesture from the man named Wu, several people descended from all directions and surrounded the entire cave.

The man surnamed Wu and the man surnamed Zhou went inside and searched, but found no clues.

The man surnamed Zhou said: "Let's ambush around here and wait for this person to return and capture him in one fell swoop."

The man surnamed Wu said: "If he can disappear out of thin air from this cave, there must be something fishy about it. Brother Zhou, you guys stay in ambush outside, I will hide in this cave, but I want to see how he leaves. If you listen If there is a strange noise in the cave, take action immediately."

"Okay." The man surnamed Zhou responded, left the cave, discussed with several outsiders, and hid themselves.

A few miles away from the cave, under an old locust tree with a crooked neck, Tang Ning emerged from the ground. Fortunately, he was prepared and expected that the Demon Sect's inspection team might come here to wait and arrest him.

Therefore, he has been hiding outside the cave and observing the movement from a distance, otherwise he would have been surrounded by them just now. If they were noticed by their spiritual consciousness, it would be too late to escape!

The Demon Sect has a lot of people coming this time, including five foundation-building monks. Except for one person who is in the late-stage foundation-building stage, the other four are all in the middle-stage foundation-building stage.

Jiang Yuhuan's figure slowly emerged: "The entire cave is under surveillance, what should we do next?"

"It's almost time. We can't wait any longer. If we delay it any longer, we will expose our flaws. Once Zheng Wei arrives, we will proceed as planned. It's a pity that the main target hasn't shown up yet." Tang Ning felt quite helpless. Having already accomplished this, this Zheng Wei should be a confirmed master of Xuanmen in their supervisory team!

But Zhang Zifeng refused to leave Xushu Mountain and only sent a group of disciples to investigate. He was hiding in the Demon Sect's base camp and remotely controlled. This man was really stubborn. He was too steady and made Tangning feel that she had no use for her power. .

But the matter was imminent and had to be taken action.

The next time Zheng Wei comes here, if he doesn't meet with him, Zheng Wei will have doubts and the whole plan may go wrong.

Once he meets him, the supervisory team disciples lurking around will take action.

Now we can only hope that Zhang Zifeng will follow Zheng Wei all the way out of Xushu Mountain, otherwise his plan will only be half completed.

……………

In Xushu Mountain, in Zhang Zifeng's cave, a man came to his main room and saluted: "Senior Brother Zhang, the news from the inside has come. Tong Quan'an has been staying at the Yingxia Mountain camp these days and has not come out."

Zhang Zifeng nodded and said: "That's good. As long as Tong Quanan doesn't come in person, Junior Brother Zhou will definitely gain something. How is Zheng Wei's place? Is there any news?"

"He has been in the cave since he came back."

"Well, continue to monitor him and let me know if there is any movement."

"Yes." The man responded.

Nearly a month later, Zheng Wei left the Xushu Mountain Formation and turned into a dodge of light. After walking for a day, he arrived in front of the Mingxia Mountain Cave and walked in.
