Chapter 160
The two disciples on duty in the hall quickly saluted when they saw the two coming.
He Ziwen said: "Go to the Intelligence Department and ask someone to identify you."
"Yes." A disciple responded and walked out of the hall, stepped on the magic weapon and flew into the air.
"This is all required by the sect. There is a process." He Ziwen explained: "Junior Brother Tang is from Xuanyue Mountain, right?"
Tangning nodded and said, "Yes, how did Senior Brother He know?"
He Ziwen said: "Many people have come one after another in the past two days. They all fled from Xuanyue Mountain. Many of them are injured. Judging from the appearance of Junior Brother Tang, he should not be injured!"
Tang Ning said: "I'm ashamed. I was meditating in the cave at that time. Suddenly I heard the alarm bell ringing. I hurried out of the cave and saw groups of Demon Sect monks coming from the west in mid-air. There were almost a hundred Foundation Establishment monks. I
As soon as he left the cave, he was stared at by two people. He ran away in a hurry, panicking like a lost dog. Fortunately, he finally got rid of the two people who were following him. Otherwise, once he got entangled with them, he would be in trouble."
"Not only your Xuanyue Mountain, but all the spiritual mines in Xingang were invaded by the Demon Sect. Xuanyue Mountain is their main target. After the Demon Sect attacked Xuanyue Mountain, not only did they not flee, but they stationed themselves there to occupy it.
It is a medium-sized spiritual mine, so the leader gathered his disciples and went to encircle and suppress them."
Tang Ning really didn't know this. He was slightly shocked when he heard that after the Demon Sect attacked Xuanyue Mountain, instead of leaving, he wanted to occupy the spiritual mine.
In his impression, the Demon Sect has always been hiding and hiding, never daring to confront Xuanmen head-on. But now, looking at the posture, it looks like it is going to fight to the death with Xuanmen.
"When did the leader set out?"
"About seven or eight days ago."
"Seven or eight days ago?" Tangning was surprised again. From now on, it would only take three days to take the Aurora Boat to Xuanyue Mountain, and the round trip would only take five or six days at most. If everything went well, we should have returned long ago. Could it be that the war at Xuanyue Mountain was not going well?
"The leader has gone to Xuanyue Mountain, who is left behind to guard the sect now?"
"The person in charge is naturally Uncle Shi."
As the master of Qingxuan Hall, Shi Mingsui and the next successor of Qianyi Sect, it was impossible for both Shi Mingsui and Wei Xuande to leave the sect, so one person had to stay behind in case something unexpected happened and the whole group was left without a leader.
"I wonder how many senior brothers from Xuanyue Mountain have returned?"
"I really don't know the specific number of people. Uncle Jiang returned a few days ago and I heard he seemed to have suffered quite a lot of injuries."
"Even Uncle Jiang was injured?"
"It's just a rumor, I haven't seen it with my own eyes."
While Tang Ning was inquiring about the current situation of the sect, a man with big ears, a fat face, a fat belly, and a big belly walked in. It was Kong Fanxing.
He Ziwen said: "Senior Brother Kong, could you please make a trip? This is a person from your Intelligence Department. According to the sect's requirements, your people must confirm it before taking it away."
Kong Fanxing laughed and said: "Yes, he is one of ours, Junior Brother Tang, if you don't come back, I will think you are in trouble!"
Tang Ning said: "I was lucky enough to escape with my life."
"Let's go," Kong Fanxing said, and the two of them left the hall. Tang Ning asked, "This time the master leads his disciples to Xuanyue Mountain to encircle and suppress the Demon Sect. How many people have been transferred from our department?"
"Senior Brother Lu took Senior Brother Zhu, Junior Brother Lu, Junior Brother Xu, Junior Brother Ye, and thirty Qi Refining disciples. Now only Junior Brother Chen Xuan and I are left in the department."
"I heard that the Demon Sect launched an attack on the ten spiritual mines owned by Xuanmen in Xingang at one time. It seems to be quite powerful."
"This time the Demon Sect is not making a fuss. The Blood and Bone Sect and the Shameful Corpse Sect have completed their integration. In addition, the Crescent Sect of Laogang and the Youmei Sect have fled to Newport. Together, this time the headmaster will lead his disciples to go forward.
I'm afraid there will be a hard and fierce battle to go to Xuanyue Mountain, and the outcome is not yet known."
Is the situation already so serious? This is something Tangning never expected.
"The Blood and Bone Sect and the Corpse Sect's main altar have been surrounded and suppressed many times. Do they still have the strength to annex other sects? Why did the integration happen so quickly? Didn't the sect receive any news beforehand?"
"There is an old saying that too much is too little. We have repeatedly encircled and suppressed the Demon Sect, which actually made them collude. Their internal conflicts were covered up by the external pressure to survive. Coupled with the Crescent Sect, the Youmei Sect added fuel to the flames. With their strong support, the integration was quickly completed. According to intelligence,
, the Demon Sect General Forum set a trap for the senior leaders of each branch, gathered them together, and killed several tough opponents on the spot."
"I see."
The two of them were talking while flying, and soon they arrived at Zhongzhi Peak. Kong Fanxing said: "Junior Brother Tang, since you are back, please continue to be responsible for intelligence liaison during this period!"
Tang Ning nodded and said hello, then returned to her cave and fell asleep. She had been flying all the way in the past few days and had not taken much rest. She was really exhausted mentally and physically at this moment.
After an unknown amount of time, the storage bag on his waist shook. He opened his eyes in a daze, woke up, took out the formation disk center in the storage bag, took the transmission note in the thick fog into his hand, and gently
After a little injection of spiritual power, I realized that Kong Fanxing was here, but I didn't know what was going on.
Tangning stood up and left the cave, and saw several men standing outside the thick fog. In addition to Kong Fanxing, there were three other people, all of whom had never covered their faces.
"Senior Brother Kong, is something okay?"
"Junior Brother Tang, these three people are sent by the sect to find out some information from you. This is Senior Brother Ma Bo from the Xuande Palace Seal Department, Senior Brother Zhang Yun from the Qingxuan Palace Seal Department, and Senior Brother Yin Zhengxing from the Yuanyi Palace Seal Department.
." Kong Fanxing said
Tang Ning was confused as to what the disciples from each of the three palaces were doing to find her.
"Junior brother Tang, by order of the sect, we have some things about Xuanyue Mountain that we need to verify with you. Do you think we can just talk about it in your cave?" Zhang Yun of Qingxuan Palace said.
Tang Ning nodded, understanding why they came. Just like he went to Xuanyue Mountain to investigate in detail, these three people also came to investigate him: "Brothers, please come!"
Everyone came to the auxiliary room. This room was specially used for entertaining guests. The space was quite large, more than ten feet long, three to four feet long, and it was equipped with tables and chairs.
Several people sat down one after another, and Ma Bo of Xuande Hall said: "We are not targeting you alone. All disciples who have returned from Xuanyue Mountain will be checked and questioned."
Tangning nodded and said, "I know."
"Then, let's get started!" Yin Zhengxing took out an ink-colored talisman, tapped it gently, poured spiritual power into it, and the ink-colored talisman glowed faintly: "Junior brother Tang, tell me what happened on the day Xuanyue Mountain was attacked!
"
Tangning told the truth.
"Do you have any clues about the destruction of the sound transmission array?" Zhang Yun asked
Tangning was stunned and blurted out: "What? The sound transmission array was destroyed?"
"Don't you know? Before the Demon Sect attacked the spiritual mine, the sound transmission array had been closed. The Demon Sect occupied Xuanyue Mountain and destroyed it."
"I don't know. Two days before the Demon Sect attacked the Spiritual Mine, Senior Brother Fang Xiangming summoned us to his cave and asked us to join the defense of the Spiritual Mine. We would be with the Shuiyun Qingyang Sect in January. At that time, the Qingyang Sect
On duty, the disciples of the sect should be on guard around the sound transmission array."
"When I was siegeing the Blood Bone Sect General Altar, I, together with Senior Brother Jiang Yuhuan and Senior Sister Wei Yaqin, killed a Demon Sect monk and took away his damaged spiritual weapon. After returning to the spiritual mine, I have been repairing the spiritual weapon in the cave.
To be honest, I don’t even know where the sound transmission array is."
"What do you think of this matter?" Ma Bo asked: "I am referring to the matter of the Demon Sect's detailed work in the spirit mine. Two consecutive sneak attacks by the Demon Sect, one defense formation was closed, and one sound transmission array was closed. As a
A member of the investigation team, do you have any suspects?"
Tangning was silent for a while: "The investigation team had three suspects before. I don't think they are very likely. They don't have the ability. The senior brothers from our sect who were sent to investigate had an internal speculation. I think it is very likely."
"The Demon Sect attacked the Spirit Mine twice. The first time the defense array was closed, and this time the sound transmission array was closed. If the leader of the Spirit Mine, Xiao Sihua, was deceived by others and closed the array himself, then no matter what happens this time
No matter how stupid the disciples guarding the spiritual mine are, they will never take the initiative to shut down the sound transmission array."
"I think someone quietly killed the disciple who was guarding the formation before the Demon Sect attacked, and took away the center of the formation disk from him. This person's identity must not be simple, and he must be very powerful."
Zhang Yun: "You mean that Senior He of Qingyang Sect is a master of the Demon Sect?"
Tang Ning said: "This possibility cannot be ruled out. He is the only one who meets the conditions and has the ability."
Zhang Yun smiled and said: "Someone has told us this inference before, but I can tell you with certainty that Senior He is not the devil's master."
"Why?"
"He died in battle. When the Demon Sect attacked the spiritual mine a few days ago, Senior He was killed. Senior Yu and Uncle Jiang also suffered considerable injuries before escaping."
"Ah? He's dead?" Tang Ning was stunned. She never expected that if He Zhijie died, it would certainly not be the fault of Mo Zongxi.
Who could that be? Could it be that Xiao Sihua was really deceived by others and turned off the defense array? So what if the sound transmission array was closed for the second time?
Tangning's thoughts suddenly stopped. When he heard that the sound transmission array was closed, the first thing that came to his mind was that inference. The most suspected target was undoubtedly He Zhijie.
But now that he is dead, except for him, no one in the spiritual mine can kill Xiao Siyu quietly, and everything has to be started from scratch.
"I don't know, maybe there is another secret to the Demon Sect's craftsmanship." When Tang Ning said this, an idea flashed through her mind.
Isn't the soul control technique described in the first transformation of the Fugue that I have practiced so wonderful? It can control the actions of others. If you can control the disciples guarding the formation in advance and cause them to close the formation, wouldn't it be easy? And it's not usually easy.
Someone will see it.
Before, he had always felt that this technique was not very useful. At most, it could play some role in gathering information. Now it seems that it is more useful. It may have miraculous effects at critical moments. He must speed up his practice and learn this technique.
"You said you were chased by two Demon Sect disciples during your escape. One of them was a mid-stage Foundation Establishment monk. How did you get rid of them? Your escape skills shouldn't be as good as those of a mid-stage Foundation Establishment monk!" Yin Zhengxing asked.
