Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Chapter 405: Lure the snake out of its hole (3)

Xiao Huishao said: "Since Guizong was stationed at Yingxia Mountain, he has repeatedly attacked Demon Sect. As a general under Guizong, Taoist friend has already become famous in Youmei Sect. This bounty list is based on Guizong. Ranking list based on disciples’ performance in killing and killing.”

"Fellow Taoist is at the top of the list of bounties. According to statistics, since you set up camp in Yingxia Mountain and the two sects started fighting, seven of the Demon Sect's foundation-building monks have died at the hands of fellow Taoists, including two late-stage foundation-building monks. Three monks in the middle stage of foundation building, and two monks in the early stage of foundation building.”

"Fellow Taoist also topped the list because of this, and the bounty has been rising all the way, accumulating to 40,000 spiritual stones."

"Half a year ago, the Youmei Sect organized a large number of manpower and planned carefully to attack each of your teams escorting supplies. The other three teams all made great gains. Only the attack on Beiyuan's troops not only failed to achieve any merit, but also lost nearly half of them."

"I heard that two late-stage foundation-building monks from the Youmei Sect faced off against a fellow Taoist, but ended up in an embarrassing situation where they had to escape to death. After this battle, the fellow Taoist has become completely famous in the Demon Sect, and the bounty has been rising all the way, ranking first in the list."

Tang Ning didn't expect that she had been listed within the Demon Sect and was still at the top of the list. This was not a good thing.

As the saying goes, people are afraid of being famous as pigs are afraid of being strong. Without strong strength to protect oneself, being remembered is definitely not something to be thankful for.

If he had the golden elixir cultivation, he would have nothing to fear. The problem was that he was just a foundation-building monk, and could only be regarded as a high-level cannon fodder in the confrontation between the two sects of the Mysterious and Demonic Sects. For a cannon fodder, the louder the name, the more dangerous it is.

Fortunately, there is a phantom veil that can change the appearance, otherwise it would be really difficult to move forward.

After Tangning arrived at the temple, she took off her veil and cloak. This was a secret weapon of his and could not be easily leaked to others.

He is not completely at ease with Xiao Huishao, and it is always right to keep an extra trump card.

"Fellow Daoist, becoming famous in the Demon Sect is something that many Xuanmen disciples dream of but cannot achieve. Why do you look so worried?"

Tang Ning sighed slightly, "What's there to be happy about when you get a false reputation but get yourself into real trouble? I wish someone else could take this kind of reputation."

"Some people want to take it, but they just don't have the ability. I feel relieved if I can get help from fellow Taoist Tang." Xiao Huishao said and glanced at Zhang Qian: "What's going on with him?"

"It's nothing, just a small trick. I happened to meet him on the way and found out that he was a member of the surveillance team, so I interrogated him about some things." Tangning said, and with a wave of consciousness, he took back the consciousness that occupied his Niwan Palace. Zhang Qian instantly leaned back and fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth and twitching all over.

"Tell me about you! What do you need me to do? Our sect, Uncle Tong, wants me to assist you. How much does the Demon Sect Supervisory Team know about you?"

Xiao Huishao said: "They haven't found me yet, they just know that someone like me is lurking among them. I don't know if they suspect me. The top priority now is to find a scapegoat to take my place. ”

Tang Ning asked, "What about Zhang Zifeng? I heard that he is the actual person in charge of the Supervision Team. Do you want to get rid of him?"

"We can't kill him yet, otherwise it will inevitably attract the attention of the top leaders of the Demon Sect. Only by first finding my scapegoat and then finding a way to get rid of him can I be cleared of suspicion."

"What happened? How did the Demon Sect know your identity? What specific clues did they have?"

Xiao Huishao said: "A year ago, the Qianyi Sect organized an ambush against the Demon Sect and robbed many of the materials transported by the Demon Sect. You should know about this!"

Tang Ning nodded. He was also involved in this matter. At that time, he led a team to rob the spirit beasts that the Youmei Sect had escorted to Broken Ridge Mountain.

"It is because of this incident that the Demon Sect lost not only casualties but also five to six million spiritual stones. Therefore, an inspection team was established to look for details. To be honest, the intelligence information about the Demon Sect during your operation is exactly I sent it out."

"There will be no more than twenty people in the entire sect who know all the escort routes and personnel rationing. Except for the Jindan monks above, I can count the number of disciples below who know this on two hands, and I am one of them. Coupled with my status as a disciple of the Corpse Puppet Sect, they will naturally suspect me."

The Youmei Sect fled from Laogang to Xingang and had been in the territory of Qi State before, so it was unlikely that the Qianyi Sect had a lurking inside line.

Even if there is, it will not reach such a high level, and the Corpse Puppet Sect is originally a demon sect in the Chu Kingdom. No one knows how deeply the Qianyi Sect has penetrated the Corpse Puppet Sect. Therefore, after the supervision team was established, they searched for details. , most of them were focused on the disciples of the original Corpse Puppet Sect.

Xiao Huishao, as a former disciple of the Corpse Puppet Sect and one of the insiders of this matter, is indeed more likely to be suspected.

"But these are not the main reasons." Xiao Huishao continued.

"I have a single line of contact with Senior Guizong Tong and have a secret communication channel. The problem lies in this communication channel."

"How do you say it?" Tangning asked

"The communication between us is in the form of black eagles. Senior Tong specially tamed a pair of black eagles to keep in touch with me. The male eagle is with him, and the female eagle is with me."

"Every time the male eagle sets out from Guizong, he will send a letter to a cave in Pingshui County. I have a spiritual beast lurking in the cave. As long as there is a letter from the black eagle, I will know it. When I bring the female The eagle will go and take the letter, and then it will leave."

"Vice versa, if I have news to report, I will release the female eagle, and he will go there with the male eagle to get the letter, and then the female eagle will return."

"But half a month ago, I felt in my heart that something was wrong with the lurking spiritual beast. And the female eagle that was raised in secret also screamed all day long, refused to eat or drink, and died within a few days."

"So I knew something was wrong with the Eagle."

"Fortunately, Senior Guizong Tong and I have anticipated that one day there may be a danger of identity exposure, and have arranged backup communication channels."

"I contacted Senior Tong again and learned that he had released the eagle to deliver the message. I guessed that the cave must have been known to the supervisory team, so they lurked there."

After listening to what he said, Tang Ning understood the whole story. To put it simply, Xuan Ying, who was the intermediary for communication, was discovered by members of the Demon Sect Supervision Team, and most likely took away Tong Quan'an's letter: "How did they know your contact location?" ?”

Xiao Huishao said: "These days, I found out that there are two teams under the Supervision Team, which are dedicated to tracking the Black Eagles. I think they may have been blinded by their blind cats and ran into them."

Using the method of tracking Xuan Ying to find the secrets lurking inside is a clumsy method, but it is indeed effective.

Xuan Ying is one of the most convenient, fast and secure communication methods in the world of cultivation. Most of the communication between sects is through Xuan Ying.

Tang Ning asked, "What did Uncle Tong say in the letter? Is there any information that reveals your identity?"

"After the last time the Demon Sect's team escorting spirit beasts was robbed by you, another group of spirit beasts has recently been transported to Broken Ridge Mountain. He asked me to inquire about the escort route and personnel rationing. As for my identity, the letter did not mention it. "

Let the agents lurking within the Demon Sect inquire about the details of the escort team. The amount of information in this matter itself is large enough, because ordinary people will never be able to reach this level. There are only so many people within the Demon Sect who can inquire about this matter. people.

This statement itself exposed his identity to a certain extent. If the letter was obtained by members of the Demon Sect Supervision Team, it would indeed be very dangerous.

"What are you going to do?"

Xiao Huishao said: "Since Xuan Ying is dead, I think they should get the letter from Senior Tong. If this matter is not resolved, I will always be suspected and monitored by them. There must be someone to replace me, to correspond to the identity of this detailed work, and to give them a A perfect answer."

"Then we will design an accident to kill Zhang Zifeng, so that the whole thing will be slowly forgotten, and I will be safe."

Tang Ning said: "That sounds good, but how do you let someone else take your identity? Make the Demon Sect think that he is an insider arranged by us. What is your plan?"

Xiao Huishao said: "I must be more than one of your informants within the Demon Sect! If the value of this person is not so important, give him up and push everything on him."

"We do have other informants, but they are not up to your level. The people in the supervision team are not fools. I am afraid that we will not be able to deceive them, but it will be counterproductive."

"Then there is only one last solution. Select one of the qualified people and make him your informant to replace me." Xiao Huishao said, flipping with his left hand and taking out a file , unfolded in front of Tang Ning: "These people are all qualified and know the specific movements of the Demon Sect's escort team. We must select one of them."

Tang Ning looked up and saw three lists of characters written on the file, with portraits drawn on them.

The first person on the left is a man with fine eyes and clear eyebrows, about thirty years old. His name is Zheng Wei, he is in the middle stage of foundation building, and he is the disciple of Hu Xufan, that is, the junior brother of Xiao Huishao.

The man in the middle, with a chin and a tiger beard, and a face as heavy as a jujube, is a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties. His name was Jia Shitai, he was in the later stage of foundation building, and he was Yang Yuanxiu's first disciple.

Yang Yuanxiu is the only remaining golden elixir monk of the Corpse Puppet Sect, and together with Hu Xufan, he leads the disciples of the original Corpse Puppet Sect.

There is a person on the right, with handsome features, thick eyebrows and big eyes. He is about twenty years old and is in the late stage of foundation building. His name is Yang Wenxiu, and he is Yang Xiuyuan's grand nephew.

These three people, including Xiao Huishao, are all close associates of two Jindan monks from the Corpse Puppet Sect. They are the subjects of major suspicion by the inspection team. If they want to steal the news and hide it from the Demon Sect, one of these three people must be Xiao Hui. Shao is the scapegoat and his identity is convincing.
