Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Chapter 401 Assassination
After Tangning buried the corpses of Yang Xian and Zhou Yan, he closed his eyes and sat up cross-legged to restore his exhausted spiritual energy.

About half a day later, the spiritual power of several people recovered, but Su Yinyun's complexion was still pale.

"It's not suitable to stay here for a long time. The Demon Sect doesn't know when it will attack again. We have to hurry back to the sect. Junior Sister Su, since you are injured, you don't have to follow the escort team. Go back to the sect to recuperate first. Do you need someone to escort you?" ?”

Su Yinyun shook her head and said: "I just used the secret technique, so that I was mentally and mentally exhausted. I can recover after half a year of self-cultivation, and I can reach the sect in more than a day. You don't need to worry about it."

"Let's go!" With a wave of Tangning's hand, all the disciples controlled the mysterious hearse and slowly flew into the sky. Su Yinyun turned into a ray of light and disappeared into the distance.

Just now when they were fighting the Demon Sect, all the disciples stayed away and parked the Xuanling Chariot at the bottom of the canyon several miles away from the battle group.

In terms of combat effectiveness, if dozens of disciples work together, they will be able to resist the monks in the early stage of foundation establishment.

But because they didn't get Tangning's order, they didn't act rashly. They just fled to the side with the mysterious hearse. They didn't want to participate in the battle of the foundation cultivators. With no leader, they naturally wouldn't take the initiative to join the battle group. Who would take such a big risk? The risk is death in vain.

Therefore, everyone hid on the sidelines and watched from the sidelines. If their own side won, they would have contributed to protecting the materials. If the Mozong won, they would naturally disperse and flee in all directions.

And because the Mozong came in such a hurry, Tangning didn't bother to direct them.

The mysterious chariot moved slowly, crossing numerous mountains, rivers, and mountains. After the defeat of the Demon Sect, no other disciples were arranged to attack the escort team.

They walked for more than [-] days and returned to Zongmen.After handing over the materials loaded in the Xuanling Carriage to the Imperial Department outside the Yuanyi Palace, Tangning's mission was considered complete without too much delay. They left the sect and returned to the Yingxia Mountain camp to report their orders.

Outside the stone house in Luo Qingshui on the mountain behind the altar, several rays of light fell, and four figures of Tang Ning, Chen Da, Jin Zong, and Yan Yunlong appeared.

With a wave of Tangning's hand, the sound transmission talisman passed through the gap in the stone door. After a while, the stone door turned open.

Several people entered and bowed to Luo Qingshui who was sitting cross-legged on the futon.

Luo Qingshui said: "I'm back, you are going to escort supplies to Beiyuan, right? How is it going? Did the trip go well?"

Tang Ning replied: "Not long after I left Beiyuan, I was attacked by two squads from the Demon Sect. Junior Brother Yang Xian and Junior Brother Zhou Yan, who were escorting supplies from the Outreach Division of the Foreign Affairs Academy, were unfortunately killed. The Demon Sect was punished by us and killed four Brother Ji fled in a panic, but luckily kept the supplies. Afterwards, there was no danger, and he was never attacked by the Demon Sect again."

"After I deliver the materials to the Imperial Department outside the Yuanyi Palace, I will come back and answer my orders."

Luo Qingshui nodded and said: "Thank you, do you think the Mozong has already ambushed there and waited for you to pass by? Or did he follow you all the way before attacking?"

Tang Ning said, "Disciple dare not speak nonsense. We are escorting supplies, moving slowly and with great momentum. If the Demon Sect is willing to inquire, it will be easy to know our whereabouts. It may not be because of secret leaks."

"What about you? What do you think?"

Chen Da said: "The Demon Sect sent two small teams to attack us. Obviously, they knew about the fact that Daying sent manpower to escort them, and they also knew about the configuration of our team. But this does not mean that the news was leaked by our people."

"I have been waiting in Beiyuan for more than ten days. Many members of the cultivation family know our purpose this time, and some of them may have secretly communicated with the Mozong. It is not surprising that the news leaked."

"There is another point of proof. We marched for more than ten days and left Beiyuan before we were ambushed by the demon sect. If they had heard the news long ago, why didn't they attack in Beiyuan, and did not do it until Jiangdong?",
"I think there's a staffing issue with timing."

"The Demon Sect got the news from those cultivating families, and then organized people to chase after us from Xushu Mountain. At that time, we had already set off and left Beiyuan. Therefore, it took them more than ten days to find our whereabouts."

Tangning asked, "Uncle, I wonder if the other escorts were attacked by the Demon Sect?"

Luo Qingshui said: "The escort teams from all over the place were attacked by the demon sect. Among them, Fang Xiangming's team suffered the most losses. Fang Xiangming was unfortunately killed. Only two people in his team escaped and survived."

As soon as this remark came out, several people were slightly shocked. They didn't expect Fang Xiangming to die, but after thinking about it carefully, there was nothing strange about it.

The Mozong was fully prepared this time. Regardless of the personnel and cultivation level, the overall strength was definitely higher than that of the Qianyizong escort team. If Tangning didn't have the help of the little white snake, he would probably be hated.

"You have completed the mission well this time, and the sect will reward you accordingly. Please go back and rest! Each of you hand in a dossier."

"Yes, the disciple will leave." Several people responded, they left the stone house, turned into a light and parted ways.

Tang Ning returned to the residence of the intelligence department. Liu Miao opened her eyes from the meditation to see him return, and said, "Senior brother Tang is back, and he must have won a lot of merit this time! I heard that the escort team was punished. The demon sect monks attacked and suffered heavy casualties, even senior brother Fang Xiangming was killed, how about your team?"

"After we were ambushed by the Mozong, Yang Xian and Zhou Yan were killed. The Mozong also killed and injured several people, and then retreated."

"Senior Brother Tang is still capable! No wonder Uncle Luo values ​​you so much."

Tangning smiled, but didn't answer. She sat cross-legged and regained her spiritual power.

Since the task of escorting supplies, the Zongmen has not released any new tasks, and a very peaceful period has passed.

Half a year later, on this day, a ray of light shot from outside the wooden house, and a man with a fair complexion appeared. It was Si Wanghuan, who was directly subordinate to the Secret Academy: "Senior Brother Tang, Uncle Tong, please go to his residence."

To his residence?Isn't it a matter of discussion in the palace?Tangning was puzzled and didn't dare to neglect, she got up and followed him to Tong Quan'an's stone house.

The two bowed and saluted, Tong Quan'an waved his hands, and said to Wang Huan, "You go first!"

"Yes." Wang Huan responded.

Tang Ning stood aside, "I don't know what is the master's order for the disciples?"

"sit down!"

"Yes." Tangning obeyed and sat down.

Tong Quan'an said: "I have called you this time because there is a secret mission for you to complete."

Tangning's heart trembled, she knew that the matter must not be simple, but she kept her expression calm, "Master, please give me instructions."

"A monitoring team has been set up at the Youmei Sect, do you know about this?"

"Disciple doesn't know."

Tong Quan'an smiled: "I forgot, you can't receive information in the big camp. A few times ago, we got accurate information and ambushed the Mozong team, which aroused their suspicion. The Mozong began to self-examine. The surveillance team came into being for the secret operations within the sect, and it is an organization that specializes in investigating the secret operations within the Demon Sect."

"You have worked in the intelligence department for many years, and you have also served as the head of the Silver Fox Intelligence Station for decades. You are very clear about many insiders arranged by the Mozong."

"But the intelligence department has only a part of it. There are some important people lurking in the Mozong. They were not arranged by the intelligence department, but they are also working for us. You understand!"

Tang Ning nodded. He had already guessed that the sect had other spies in the Mozong to provide information. These people and the personnel arranged by the intelligence department were two disjoint lines, and they didn't know each other's existence.

At this time, he was not surprised to hear Tong Quan'an point out: "What does the master need the disciple to do?"

Tong Quan'an said: "One of them was arranged by me to join the Demon Sect. No one else knew about it. He only kept in touch with me through a single line. Only the head teacher and I know his true identity in the entire sect."

"Now he is in trouble and needs our help. This person has a high status in the Demon Sect and is an important chess piece for us. He cannot be left alone. After thinking about it, I chose you to complete this task. There is no one in the Sect. There is a more suitable candidate than you."

"One, you are a student of the intelligence department, and you have a better understanding of the internal situation of the Demon Sect. This is also your job."

"Both, we recognize your loyalty and ability very much, and believe that you can handle this matter well."

"I have reported to the head teacher, and he also agreed to let you complete this secret task."

Tang Ning expressed her position, "This disciple will do his best and will never hesitate to die."

He knew in his heart that this must be a very risky thing, Tong Quanan found him, maybe it was really after careful consideration.

Although Tong Quan'an didn't mention the specific mission, Tangning also guessed that he must rescue the "high-level" secret agent inside the Demon Sect.

The most dangerous thing about this matter is that this secret operation is likely to have been controlled or exposed. The whole matter may be a trap, and the purpose is naturally to attract Qian Yizong's contacts.

That's why Tong Quan'an asked him to go instead of going by himself.

There's no way, a higher rank crushes people to death!
This kind of thing of stepping on a pit and jumping into a well is of course done by the underworld. Do you want him to be a dignified Jindan cultivator, the head of the secret academy, to try himself out?
Although it is a pity for the Zongmen to lose a late-stage foundation-establishment monk, it is not a big deal. If the Jindan monk falls down and dies, it will be a big loss for the Zongmen.

Tong Quan'an nodded slightly, quite satisfied with Tangning's statement. With a wave of his left hand, he took out a file and handed it to him, "Let's take a look!"

Tangning took the file and opened it. It was a profile, with a picture of the person on the left side.

This man has the head of a leopard and the arms of an ape, with regular features, a tall and straight figure, and dark eyes. His name is Zhang Zifeng.He is the first disciple of Qiu Jian, the elder of the Youmei Sect, who cultivated in the late stage of foundation establishment.

The dossier introduced various stories in his life. When he was young, he was treated poorly by his stepmother, and he felt resentful. He killed his stepmother and fled away from home. Later, he met Qiu Jian and was accepted as a disciple.

He has repeatedly made meritorious service in the Xuanmen War. So far, he has captured the heads of seven Xuanmen monks.

Including a monk in the late foundation establishment period, four monks in the middle period of foundation establishment, and two early foundation establishment monks.

He is very manly, ruthless, and his skills are quite mysterious.

Tangning read the contents of the dossier carefully, "This person must be the insider of the Demon Sect that my uncle mentioned! How can I cooperate? Please tell my uncle clearly."

Tong Quan'an said: "He is the deputy captain of the Demon Sect's surveillance team, and your mission is to go to the Xushu Mountains to assassinate him."
