Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Chapter 1666 Death of Han Siyuan

After leaving Wuyue Wharf and walking for a while, Yan Jiuzheng couldn't help but ask curiously, "What did you talk about with them?"

"Just like you guys, just cooperating."

"Cooperation? You want to cooperate with the people of the Senate of the Apocalypse Realm to share the space channel of the Dead World?"

"I only told them the location of the Tianyuan Space Channel."

"When will you tell us the location of the space channel to the dead world?"

"Don't worry, I will tell you when the time comes. With your current level of cultivation, you can't go there even if you know. Now go back to your nest and rest for a while, I will find you again after a while."

……

When Pazexi saw Tang Ning and his group disappear from his sight, he became suspicious and turned to look at everyone: "What do you think? Is it true or false?"

"I think it's at least 70% credible." A late Mahayana demon said first, "Let's not talk about whether the rumors he said about the fairyland are true, but his understanding of the abandoned land should be correct. The names of the ancient cultivators who returned from the abandoned land in the Tianyuan Realm match the information we previously obtained, which at least proves that he knows a lot of inside information."

"He can command the ancient cultivators of the Dead World and the Tianyuan World, which shows that he is extraordinary. They are all knowledgeable and powerful, but they are willing to obey his orders. It is impossible to just trick them."

"Since we have already found out the clues of the space channel connecting Tianyuan Realm to the Immortal Realm, we can give it a try no matter what."

Everyone expressed their opinions one by one.

Pazesi was silent for a while and then said, "Then do as he says. There is no loss for us anyway. Just be careful that it may be a trap."

.........

Linzi County, the Allied Forces Headquarters, in front of Han Siyuan’s cave, Tang Ning’s escape light landed, and soon, a man inside came out quickly and led him into the inner room.

"Junior Brother Tang is here, please take a seat." Han Siyuan was sitting upright in the room and smiled when he saw him coming.

"Brother Han, although the demon army has temporarily retreated this time, they will surely come back one day. We must hurry up and prepare fortifications. Not only Linzi County, but other counties and prefectures must also make great efforts to prepare fortifications just in case."

"What do you think, Junior Brother Tang?"

Tang Ning took a file and said, "This is the specific defense plan I compiled. There were many casualties in this battle, and the various corps, columns, and subordinate teams are in urgent need of reinforcements. Other things are not urgent, but the three important positions of corps commander, inspector, and deputy captain must be filled immediately. I have already made a list, please take a look, Brother Han."

Han Siyuan took the file and took a look at it: "Junior Brother Tang has made great contributions to repelling the invasion of the demons this time. With you in charge of Linzi County, we can all rest assured. I have no objection to this list and defense plan. Let's follow your proposal next time we discuss matters!"

Ever since the failure of the last offensive against Jinan County, Han Siyuan has become more humble. Now Tang Ning has the final say on all matters within the Qingzhou coalition. Han Siyuan seems to have become a transparent person in name only, and he has never expressed any dissatisfaction with this.

"Then I won't bother you any more. Goodbye." Tang Ning stood up and said, "By the way, the troops stationed in Jiangyue County have suffered heavy casualties and their morale is low. If you have time, please take some time to visit the troops to boost their morale. You are the leader of the Qingzhou coalition forces. If you can go to the front line in person, it will greatly boost their morale."

Han Siyuan smiled and nodded, but when Tang Ning left, his face suddenly turned gloomy and he crumpled the file in his hand into a ball and crushed it into powder.

……

In the blink of an eye, several months passed. On the outskirts of Jiangyue County, several warships with the coalition flags flying were sailing high in the sky.

As they were walking, the world suddenly fell into darkness.

Several monsters appeared from the void, and the leader, a late Mahayana monster, stretched out his hand, and the space within a radius of hundreds of miles suddenly shook violently. Several warships inside the space shattered one after another in the shaking space. At this moment, a dazzling dark green light shot up into the sky, and the light spread out like ripples, and the originally shaking space immediately calmed down.

Han Siyuan looked at the several Mahayana demons surrounding him, his heart sank, and his figure quickly retreated along with the rippling green light.

.........

In Ning'an County, in front of the towering cave, a beam of light shot down, revealing a figure with slightly white hair on his temples. Not long after, Gao Yuan came out from inside, and the two exchanged a few words. Gao Yuan's face changed slightly, and he walked quickly into the house, came to the main room, and knocked on the stone door.

The heavy stone door creaked open, and Gao Yuan walked in with his head lowered and his body slightly bent. He saluted and said, "Master, the commander of the 13th Army, Master Duan Yi, is outside seeking to see you. He said that Palace Master Han was ambushed by the demons outside Jiangyue County and has been killed."

"I understand. Take Duan Yi to the reception room."

"Yes." Gao Yuan responded. As he turned around, his eyes swept across Tang Ning's face, but he saw that his expression was as calm as water, without any ripples.

Gao Yuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Uncle Master Tang was becoming more and more unfathomable. Even though the coalition leader was ambushed by the demons and such a big thing had happened, he didn't show the slightest sign of shock or panic.

As the stone door closed again, the light in the room dimmed again.

Tang Ning was certainly not shocked, because this was his plan. He used the demons to get rid of Han Siyuan and support Nangong Muxue to take the position. This was a plan he had thought of before negotiating with the demons.

He had to get rid of all the troubles before ascending to the immortal world. Han Siyuan was the biggest trouble within Taixuan Sect, and they both knew each other's thoughts very well.

Han Siyuan was narrow-minded and had been competing with him in secret for many years. Although he still maintained a friendly attitude on the surface, in fact, there was no room for two tigers in one mountain. Han Siyuan was just afraid of his cultivation, strength and prestige, so he chose to lie dormant and endure. Once he ascended to the immortal world, or his cultivation was further improved, he would sit on the position of the headmaster.

Then people who are close to him, such as Nangong Muxue, Liu Ruhan, etc., will definitely be suppressed and excluded, and may even be eliminated in secret.

In fact, he had long wanted to get rid of Han Siyuan quietly, but he never had the chance.

He is the master of Qingxuan Hall of Taixuan Sect and the commander-in-chief of the Qingzhou coalition forces. Even if the two of them have some disagreements, once people know that it was he who did it, he will probably not be tolerated in the Tianyuan Realm, let alone in the Taixuan Sect.

Plus, he was a cautious person, so he didn't have much chance.

This time, during the negotiations with the demons, the only condition he put forward was to kill Han Siyuan for him.

There is no more suitable candidate than the demons. If the demons ambush Han Siyuan, no one would suspect him.

This was because he had just fought a life-and-death battle with the demons, killing two demon Mahayana monks in one fell swoop, including a late Mahayana monk.

How could others have imagined that he would cooperate with the demons to get rid of Han Siyuan.

Moreover, the demons cannot communicate with the cultivators of the Tianyuan Realm, and this secret will not be exposed.

I'm afraid even Han Siyuan himself would not have thought that this was his arrangement until the moment of his death.

The reason why he persuaded Han Siyuan to go to Jiangyue County to visit the troops was to lure him out of the coalition headquarters to make it easier for the demon army to take action.

In the past few months, he secretly guided the senior leaders of the coalition forces guarding Jiangyue County to propose to him to visit Jiangyue County to comfort the troops.

Han Siyuan has been stationed in Linzi County since the start of the war. Since he has never been to the front line in person, he has received a lot of criticism. Faced with the requests of many senior coalition leaders, he had no reason to refuse.

He could never have imagined that someone would tell the demons his travel information and route in advance, and work together with the demons to kill him.

……

Tang Ning slowly stood up and walked into the spacious and bright waiting room.

Duan Yi was waiting in the inner room. When he saw him walk in, he hurriedly came forward and bowed, "Disciple greets Uncle Master Tang."

"What exactly happened? How did Senior Brother Han get ambushed by the demons?" Tang Ning walked to the main seat and sat down, then asked.

"I don't know exactly what happened. The disciple who fled with Senior Brother Han brought me the news. The seniors stationed at the headquarters are undecided. I am here to report this to you immediately. Please take charge of the situation."

"When did this happen?"

"September 14th."

"It is confirmed that Senior Brother Han has been murdered."

"Yes, his body has been found."

"What kind of monsters ambushed him?"

"According to the report of the escaped disciples, a total of four monsters participated in this ambush. The leader was the bat-like monster in the late Mahayana stage. There were three other monsters in the middle Mahayana stage. They all showed up during the attack on Jiangyue County."

.........

Tang Ning pretended to ask about the details for a long time, and finally said, "You should go back to Jiangyue County immediately and tell the officer stationed there not to act rashly, especially not to go out alone. I will go to Jiangyue County with the other officers of the coalition forces and discuss this matter with them."

"Yes." Duan Yi responded and left.

.........

Tang Ning immediately convened an emergency meeting, summoned all the coalition forces stationed in Ning'an County, and announced the news of Han Siyuan's murder.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and they asked for details and started discussing the matter.

"The most urgent task now is to stabilize people's hearts. Senior Brother Han was killed in an ambush, and the entire coalition must be in panic. I have ordered people to inform the Taoist friends stationed in Jiangyue County to not act rashly. We must not act alone again, so as not to be defeated by the demons. I suggest that we go to Jiangyue County together and discuss a plan first." Tang Ning waited for everyone to finish speaking before speaking.

The few of them had no objection, and they went to Jiangyue County together the next day.

After arriving at Jiangyue County, everyone gathered together to discuss countermeasures. Of course, they had to analyze how Han Siyuan was killed, how the demon army knew about his trip, and so on.

Naturally, these doubts could not be answered, and finally everyone unanimously decided to elect Tang Ning as the leader of the Qingzhou Allied Forces.
