Chapter 377 Comeback
"It all depends on my uncle's cultivation," Tangning said.

Luo Qingshui said: "Cultivation is one's own business, how can it be cultivated by others, I heard that you are currently working in an intelligence station outside the sect, right?"

"Yes."

Zhu Xu interjected: "I'm about to transfer Junior Brother Tang back to the sect. According to the regulations of the intelligence department, monks in the late stage of foundation establishment are rarely transferred outside. I'm afraid that the transfer department of Qingxuan Palace will interfere with it."

Luo Qingshui nodded and said: "It doesn't matter if you go back to the sect, the Demon Sect is about to make a comeback, and you need the hard work of these elite disciples. It would be overkill to send the intelligence station down. I will greet them at the Rendezvous Department."

Zhu Xu and Tang Ning were slightly shocked when they heard his words. What does it mean that the Mozong has made a comeback?Could it be that the Corpse Puppet Sect has regained its vitality and wants to seize the resources of Chu State again?This is unlikely!

Zhu Xu asked: "Uncle Master, you mean that the Corpse Puppet Sect has made another move?"

"This time our main opponent is no longer the Corpse Puppet Sect, but the Ghost Puppet Sect. There is reliable news that the Ghost Puppet Sect will merge with the Corpse Puppet Sect, withdraw from the battlefields of Qi and Wu, and come to Chu State to occupy This sect has resources and territory under its jurisdiction. That's why I led some disciples back first, lest the sect's strength is insufficient and be caught off guard by the Phantom Sect."

The two were shocked again. The intelligence department was responsible for snooping and investigating information. They hadn't heard any rumors before, but they didn't expect Zongmen to know about it.

Especially Zhu Xu, as the deacon of the intelligence station, he knew nothing about it, and he was undoubtedly dereliction of duty.

Luo Qingshui said that the news was reliable, so it must be true.

In addition to the intelligence department, the sect has other eyeliners in the Mozong. There is no doubt about it, but I didn't expect it to be so deep, and all these confidential things have been inquired about.

It may be that the Shuiyun Sect placed it in the secret work of the Youmei Sect and got the news, which is also unknown.

Tangning frowned and said, "I don't know how their discussions are going. When will they come to Chu?"

Luo Qingshui said: "Just now I went to Qianxing Hall just for this purpose. There was news from Qi State that the Youmei Sect had gathered in a large scale and had already set off and marched northward. Presumably they were coming for us, according to their instructions. The speed will reach Chu State in a month, and their small group of vanguards may be even faster."

Tang Ning and Zhu Xu looked at each other and looked at each other. They didn't expect the You Mei Sect to come so quickly.A bloody war is inevitable.

"Where will they start?" Zhu Xu asked

"As expected, Qinchuan and Longyou should be occupied first. The Corpse Puppet Sect has been operating here for many years and has a good foundation, which can help them gain a foothold quickly. Go back and prepare! Wait for the sect's orders."

"Yes." The two replied, got up to leave, and went back to their caves.

………………

In the meeting hall of Zhongzhi Peak, several stewards from the intelligence department who stayed behind in the sect gathered together, Zhu Xu entered from the outside, went straight to the main seat above, and spoke.

"There are three things to discuss today. The first thing is that Junior Brother Tangning has broken through to the late stage of foundation establishment. He has sent a letter to report this matter a few days ago. According to the usual rules of our intelligence department, monks in the late stage of foundation establishment generally do not go out. Therefore, I want to transfer him back to the sect, do you agree with it?"

Du Yuankai frowned slightly. He already knew that Tangning had broken through the late stage of foundation establishment, so he was not surprised: "The work of the intelligence station is very important. If Junior Brother Tang returns to the sect, it seems that there is no suitable candidate to take up the post."

"I'm about to discuss with Junior Brother Du. I want to invite you to work in the intelligence station. You are the head of the intelligence station and are familiar with the affairs there. What do you think?"

Du Yuankai said: "I'm old and don't have much lifespan. I'm afraid I'm no longer suitable to be the head of the intelligence station."

Zhu Xudao: "I just ask Junior Brother Du to be in charge of the intelligence station's affairs temporarily, and when there is a more suitable candidate, I will naturally transfer you back. I suggest that Junior Brother Du be the head of the intelligence station. I don't know what Junior Brother Zhao thinks, but what does Junior Sister Xu think?"

"I agree." Zhao Liheng said first
Xu Cuiyao glanced at Du Yuankai, saw that his face was a bit ugly, and knew that today's matter was a foregone conclusion, so she said slowly: "I agree."

"Since everyone agrees, I will report to Qingxuan Palace immediately." Zhu Xu directly ignored Du Yuankai: "The second thing. The fifth team disciples Han Rong and Shi Jing disappeared and were killed. I think it has something to do with the Corpse Puppet Sect, so I intend to send someone from the aircraft support team to investigate."

........................

When Tangning returned to the basement of Qianjun Mountain, everyone stood up and saluted.

"Call Li Shuo."

"Yes." A man next to him replied.

Not long after, Li Shuo went to his room to salute and said, "Uncle Tang, what do you want me to do?"

"Sort out the details of our development and placement in various forces over the past [-] years, and sort out the information about their files, and bring them to me."

Li Shuo was slightly taken aback: "What happened?"

"It's nothing, I may have to go back to Zongmen to take up a post, and the work will be handed over."

"Yes." Li Shuo retreated in response.

"Also, invite Fellow Daoist Xu to come over."

"Yes."

Soon, there was a knock on the door, and Xu Qingwan pushed the door open and entered.

"Sit down!" Tangning said
Xu Qingwan took her seat according to her words: "I don't know if Tang Immortal Envoy has asked me for anything?"

"You summarize the financial details of the past ten years and write a dossier. If there is no accident, I will return to the Zongmen to take up a post. Let the next director review these!"

Xu Qingwan was taken aback for a moment: "Are you going back to Gan Yizong?"

"According to the rules of the department, monks in the late stage of foundation establishment generally do not work outside."

"Then, who is the unknown new chief?"

"It's the same no matter who you are, so I won't make things difficult for you." Tangning didn't say it was Du Yuankai, after all, the matter has yet to be decided.

Xu Qingwan was silent for a while and said, "I wonder if we can meet again in the future?"

Tangning smiled and said, "Why do you say this like a lover is leaving? We will meet each other if we are destined. You and I are practitioners, why should you worry about such things?"

Xu Qingwan also smiled: "Qiyuan, please take care of Tang Immortal Envoy."

"Do you need to transfer him to the intelligence station?"

"Didn't you say to let him practice in the sect for a while longer?"

"At this time and then at that time, the situation is different. The Corpse Puppet Sect has made a comeback, and it has joined forces with the Youmei Sect of Qi State. The momentum is mighty. I expect that the land of Chu State will usher in another protracted battle, and the outcome is yet to be known. .At this time, it is relatively safe to stay in the intelligence station, at least there is no need to confront the Mozong head-on.”

Xu Qingwan pondered and said: "Let him stay in Guizong to practice! I will feel more at ease with you taking care of me."

"I can't guarantee anything. In a big war, no one can take care of others. Even I may not be able to protect myself."

"If this is the fate, there is nothing you can do. You can't let him take up all the good things. The road to practice is difficult and tortuous. There is nothing else, I will prepare first."

Tangning nodded, and Xu Qingwan got up to leave.

Three days later, a ray of light fell into Qianjun Mountain, revealing the figure of an old man with white beard and hair. The dark whistle disciple hiding in the forest greeted him and bowed: "Uncle Du, you are here, do you want me to tell you?" To Uncle Tang?"

"No need." Du Yuankai waved his hand and entered the basement.

Sitting cross-legged in the room, Tangning heard a knock on the door and knew that Du Yuankai had arrived. Just now the disciples in the basement saluted and greeted him. He got up to greet him and opened the stone door, "Senior Brother Du, you're here."

Du Yuankai smiled and said, "Junior Brother Tang, congratulations! I heard that you have broken through the late stage of Foundation Establishment. You really deserve to be the most outstanding disciple of this sect."

"Senior Brother Du was joking, I was just lucky, please come in quickly."

Du Yuankai sighed slightly: "The distance between people is indeed incomparable. I have been in the intelligence station for sixty years and am still trapped in the middle stage of foundation establishment. Now I am in my dying years. Seeing that my lifespan is not long, I just wait to die. , and you broke through this situation so quickly. To be honest, I am envious and jealous."

Tangning smiled without saying a word, and did not answer.

"Junior Brother Tang must have known the purpose of my visit this time. The sect ordered me to take over the post of head of the intelligence station. This is the appointment clause." Du Yuankai took out a document and handed it to him.

"In the past few days, I have asked my disciples to sort out the files, and I just wait for you to check them out," Tangning said.

The two left the room one after another, announced their appointments to the disciples in the basement, worked hard for a few days, and handed over the work at hand, including introducing the details of the hidden forces to him one by one.

…………

At night, the stars are like rain, and dozens of rays of light come from the south of the spiritual mine of Xushu Mountain, and when they fall to the top of the mountain, dozens of figures appear.

"It seems that Qian Yizong has already evacuated after getting the news." said the old man in charge

"They gave up this spirit mine voluntarily, which is quite wise." Another person said
...............

In Qin Chuan Lu's mansion, Lu Xin was sitting in the retreat room on credit, when suddenly the wind chime rang, he opened his eyes, got up and opened the stone door of the retreat room, saw a man outside with a slightly panicked look on his face, and asked Said: "What's the matter? In a panic?"

The man said: "Wu Wenshan is here and wants to see you."

"What?" Lu Xin's complexion changed, and he hurriedly asked, "Did he come alone? Does anyone else know about this?"

"A person, now waiting in front of our mansion for notification, many people in the clan have seen him."

Lu Xin couldn't help taking a deep breath, and said in disbelief, "Is he crazy? If Gan Yizong finds out, how can he survive? He will also implicate us, so drive him away quickly."

"Fellow Lu, an old friend is here to visit, why don't you even see each other?" A voice from outside came from far away, and a middle-aged man with a square face and wide ears walked in.
