In Huayuan Pavilion, the majestic mountains rise and fall, and the red smoke fills the air, covering the area of ​​more than a thousand miles.

In the distance, a huge firework bloomed, lighting up the night sky like daylight.

"Enemy attack."

"Enemy attack, gather."

"Get ready to fight."

In the mountains, surrounded by houses, bells and drums rang loudly, and many noisy shouts suddenly rang out.

In the solemn meeting hall, everyone sat together with solemn expressions.

A man with a square face and a broad mouth walked in quickly from the outside and bowed to the gray-haired old man on the main seat: "Uncle Master, all the teams in this department have been assembled and are on standby."

The old man waved his hand, and the man retreated. Before he could walk out of the hall, a burly man stepped inside.

"Junior Brother Xu, but the rebels are attacking? How many troops did the opponent send?" Before he could speak, the old man on the main seat asked first, and everyone below also looked at him.

"I was at the observation post in front and saw the warships coming from the west dotted together. I couldn't accurately judge how many troops there were. I estimated that there were at least four or five columns, with a huge ship surrounding them in the center.

"Leizi Ship, this must be the main force of Luzhi County." The burly man responded.

"What?" After hearing this, everyone below them changed their minds. The old man on the main seat said solemnly: "Junior Brother Xu, are you sure? The opponent has four or five columns of troops?

"It's absolutely true. I saw with my own eyes that the opponent's army stretches for hundreds of miles. Even if I misjudged the opponent's specific strength, the Leitz ships surrounding the center will never be missed. Since the opponent has dispatched Leitz ships, it means that they are in charge.

The main force of Luzhi County has already come out in full force."

"Senior Brother Wang, since most of the opponent's troops are coming out, it is impossible for us to resist with just one column of troops. We should immediately inform the main camp and arrange for the team to withdraw from this place. No needless sacrifices should be made." A man below could not sit still.

, said quickly.

"I agree with Junior Brother Zhang's proposal. Since the other party is here with a large number of people, there is no need for us to fling eggs against stones. It is still too late to evacuate. If we wait for them to set up their formation and surround them on all sides, it will be too late for us to leave."

"The legion asked us to defend this place. We are only responsible for the invasion of the opponent's forward headquarters. Now that the rebels have come in large numbers, there is no reason for us to continue to defend this small mountain defense line."

"Senior Brother Wang, don't hesitate anymore, give the order immediately! If the sect is held accountable, we are willing to bear it with you."

"Yes! Senior Brother Wang, give the order quickly!"

When everyone heard that the main force from Luzhi County was rushing, they didn't want to be trapped here and urged them with every word.

The old man surnamed Wang was unwilling to sit here and face the enemy. It was just because of his status that he could not rashly propose an evacuation. At this moment, after listening to what others said, he immediately stood up and expressed his position: "Okay, since everyone has

In this regard, we will evacuate this place immediately, and I will apologize to my uncle at the headquarters when I get back."

Not long after, many warships took off into the sky and sailed away from the mountain range one after another.

………

Tangning was sitting cross-legged in the cave, holding a red and blue fist-sized stone in her hand, with blood pouring into it.

Suddenly, the stone burst into dazzling light, illuminating the entire room. It lasted for a long time before gradually extinguishing.

"It's really changed."

My original spiritual root qualifications have actually been changed. The Immortal Testing Stone has changed from red and blue to crystal clear, which is a symbol of superior spiritual root qualifications.

He jumped from an average spiritual root qualification to an upper-class spiritual root. At this moment, his mood was like hell going straight to heaven, and he couldn't help laughing loudly.

The spiritual root qualifications of practitioners can actually be changed. If this news spreads, it will be able to shake the entire cultivation world, because it subverts the previous understanding of the cultivation world.

The spiritual root qualifications are predestined and will accompany a monk throughout his life and cannot be changed. This is the consensus of all monks in the spiritual world. From ancient times to the present, there has never been a rumor that a monk's spiritual root qualifications can be changed.

But having said that, from ancient times to the present, several people have been baptized by the blood of the holy beast. Even the holy beast itself only exists in legends. No one has ever seen the true face of the holy beast, and many people even think that the holy beast is nothing more than

It's just a virtual species created by some demon clans to boost their own self-worth.

What's more, hunting holy beasts and using their blood to irrigate and baptize oneself.

Even if there were a second monk who had such an experience, he would probably keep it secretly in his heart and not dare to publicize it.

Thinking of this, Tang Ning felt an inexplicable fear in his heart. It was not that he was afraid of being discovered that his spiritual root qualifications had been changed, but that the whole thing was so weird that he still couldn't let it go. Even now when he thought about it,

After this encounter, he couldn't help but feel chills standing on end, and he was extremely frightened.

First of all, his key to the secret realm of the golden Gangfeng space is three broken jade pieces, and these three jade pieces were collected by him in a small Xuantang City. This is too much of a coincidence, even if it is

There is no such coincidence in storytelling.

In such an important and secret place, the three pieces of jade were actually scattered in the hands of three deceased monks in Xuantang City, and finally ended up in his hands in different ways.

Secondly, as soon as he entered that space, Xiao Zhan immediately fell into a deep sleep and has not woken up until now, as if someone was deliberately arranging it and did not want anyone else to know the secret except him.

There is also that huge golden corpse, which is basically the holy beast Xuanwu. Who can have such strong strength to kill a holy beast, and then just like a wild dog on the roadside, leave its bones in the crack of space and ignore them.

Don't ask, this is too unreasonable.

The last thing is the golden blood that irrigates and baptizes his body. Logically speaking, the Xuanwu Holy Beast has only a golden skeleton left. It has stayed in that space for countless thousands of years. The blood should have dried up long ago. Why can

It has remained so to this day.

The only reasonable explanation is that there is a very powerful and terrifying existence in that space. It killed Xuanwu, collected his blood, and after entering that space, used his blood to complete the baptism for itself.

Only in this way can everything make sense.

But if this is true, then why does this terrifying existence behind him do this?

Unless it is eyeing the green spiritual power in its own body, the only thing that makes it unique is this green spiritual power. If someone is really behind all of this, this is the only possible purpose.

Maybe it has been silently observing itself in the dark, and when it thinks of this.

Tangning felt a chill running down her spine, as if there were really a pair of eyes looking at her from behind.

…

Just as he was thinking about it, the storage bag on his waist suddenly trembled. He took out the array plate and pointed it at it, taking the floating talisman into his hand, and then he flashed out of the room.

Outside the thick fog, stood a pale-faced man, who was Xu Mengyuan, the deputy captain of the direct brigade.

"Brother Xu, you are here. Please come in quickly." Tang Ning Dun Guang fell in front of him and bowed his head.

Xu Mengyuan waved his hand: "Brother Tang, today I am here to announce your new appointment to your new position in our headquarters."

"Oh? Brother Xu, please tell me."

"As for your matter, Senior Uncle Ren Quan of our headquarters has already reported it to the regiment, and now you are assigned to the Seventh Team directly under our headquarters. Senior Uncle Ren Quan asked me to announce the appointment and take you to the Seventh Team directly under the headquarters."

When Tang Ning heard this, she couldn't help but change her face slightly at this moment, even though he had a gentle nature and was not always expressive of emotions or anger.

He was originally the manager of the direct brigade and the captain of the seventh direct team. Now he was not only relieved of his post, but also sent back to the seventh direct team.

Isn't this an obvious retaliation for a former subordinate to become his immediate boss?

This is deliberately humiliating yourself.

Seeing his ugly face, Xu Mengyuan comforted him and said, "Brother Tang, I'm a humble person, so I can't help with this matter. I'm really sorry."

Tang Ning tried her best to calm down, her face softened a little, and she forced a smile: "Brother Xu, you're welcome. The sect has dismissed me from my post. Even if the respected master is still there, there is nothing we can do. I just didn't expect that I would do it again."

Return to the seventh team directly under the command."

"Uncle Ren Quan said that you have been in the Seventh Brigade for many years, and everyone there is familiar with you. You might as well go back to your old place to handle things more conveniently. He said that, and I can't say much."

"I see."

"Let's go! I'll take you to the seventh team directly."

The two of them jumped up and arrived at the meeting hall directly under the Seventh Team. Inside, a man with a broad forehead and broad face was sitting cross-legged and practicing with his eyes closed. When he noticed someone coming in from the outside, he opened his eyes and hurriedly stood up and saluted:

"Disciple pays homage to Master Xu."

"Go and invite Junior Brother Jiang here."

"Yes." The man responded and left. Tangning looked back at the man. He had never seen this man before. He must have been a new disciple who was recently added to the seventh team.

"In the past few years, the Seventh Team under the Direct Affiliation has recruited two new disciples. This person's name is Zhang Heng, and there is another named Qu Mingshang. Brother Tang will find out later." Xu Mengyuan took the initiative to explain.

He nodded without saying anything. After waiting for about a stick of incense, a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes strode in. It was Jiang Ru. His eyes passed over Tang Ning, and he was slightly stunned. Then he turned to Xu Mengyuan.

The chief inspector bowed and said, "Senior Brother Xu, what do you have to say?"

"Junior Brother Jiang, I am here on the orders of Senior Uncle Ren from our headquarters to order Junior Brother Tangning to return to the Seventh Team directly under his command. You should be old acquaintances, so I won't introduce you further."

"Senior Brother Tang's name has been well known to me for a long time. You are welcome to return to our team." Jiang Ru bowed his head.

"Junior Brother Jiang, please take good care of me in the future." Tang Ning returned the favor. He was originally a disciple of Ren Quan. This time, Ren Quan succeeded Huang Yuan as the head of the direct brigade. He was relieved of his position as manager and captain on the grounds of long-term separation due to personal matters.

, so he successfully ascended to the throne.

Although the two of them had not had much interaction before, they were both in the direct brigade and had met many times.

"How dare you, how dare you, Senior Brother Tang has more experience than me, I will ask Senior Brother Tang for advice on anything in the future."

"Junior Brother Jiang, I will not disturb you as you convey the appointment. I will leave first." After that, Xu Mengyuan turned around and left.

"Zhang Heng, call everyone in our team." Jiang Ru ordered, and Zhang Heng left in response.

"Senior Brother Tang, please sit down. Senior Brother Tang has been away from the headquarters for so many years. He must not know that there have been some changes in the personnel of our team over the years. Shi Jin and Mi Xue were both unfortunately killed when encircling and suppressing the rebels. Yang Feng attacked Yuan Ying.

After he failed and died, the sect assigned a group of new disciples to join the headquarters. I will introduce them to you later. Besides me, there are a total of five people in the headquarters."

Tang Ning nodded: "Uncle Ren arranged for me to return to the team because I have been working in the team for many years and am familiar with everyone. If Junior Brother Jiang has any orders from now on, just tell him."
