Chapter 330 - For Your Use
Lao Denuo was very afraid of death, so he was very afraid that Ling Xiao would directly kill him. When he realized that he wasn't dead, he was extremely happy in his heart, because this way, he would have the chance to escape.
As an experienced spy, it was necessary to protect his own life. Naturally, this included how to escape.
Just that, before this excitement could continue, it had already been resolved with a single slap from Ling Xiao.
If what Ling Xiao said was all true, then even if he managed to escape secretly, he would still die because of his slow transformation into an ice sculpture.
If that was the case, what was the point in running away?
"I still don't know what you're thinking. Give up, no one can escape from my grasp." Ling Xiao lowered his head to look at the dumbstruck Lao Denuo, and said indifferently.
"Just what are you planning to do!?" Recovering from his shock, Lao Denuo asked as he raised his head to look at Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows and said: "You only need to know that your life is in my hands and that's enough. Oh right, this disease of yours, will only happen once a day, unless you have the pill that I give you, but it can only be sustained for a long period of time. Moreover, continuously taking it will reduce the effect, and at the most, suppressing it for half a month will cause it to immediately explode, and even deities will not be able to save you."
With that, Ling Xiao took out a bottle of pills and threw it at Lao Denuo.
I shall give you a choice. You can either continue to return to the Huashan Mountain, and use it to help the Huashan Mountain investigate the movements of the Mount Song, and also pass on the false information to the Mount Song. Without waiting for Lao Denuo to react, Ling Xiao turned and rode away.
Seeing Ling Xiao leave just like that, Lao Denuo sat on the spot with a sad face. Obviously, these two things were not the results he had anticipated.
After returning to the Huashan Mountain, Ling Xiao continued to meditate and cultivate. On the second day, someone knocked on the courtyard door.
"Come in." Ling Xiao sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, and said indifferently.
With a creak, the door of the courtyard was opened as Lao Denuo walked in.
"Sect Leader." Lao Denuo cupped his fists and bowed.
Hearing Lao Denuo's voice, Ling Xiao remained indifferent, as if he already knew that Lao Denuo would definitely return to the Huashan Mountain.
"Does anyone else know?" Ling Xiao opened his eyes and asked.
Lao Denuo shook his head hard, "Other than you and me, no one else knows about this."
"Hmm, at least you have some brains. Otherwise, you will definitely die." Ling Xiao said as he nodded his head.
"Thank you, Sect Leader, for not killing me!" Lao Denuo said as he bowed again.
Ling Xiao waved his hand, then stood up and said: "Alright, as long as you obediently listen to me from behind, I will naturally let you live well."
"Yes, we will listen to whatever Sect Leader says!" Lao Denuo replied seriously.
"What did they say this time? Who are they?" Ling Xiao asked.
Hearing this, Lao Denuo didn't have the slightest hesitation, and directly told his everything he knew in detail.
After all, the one controlling Lao Denuo's life right now was Ling Xiao, not Zuo Lengchan.
After hearing it, Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows and said, "So that means that Zuo Lengchan had harbored intentions towards the Huashan Mountain since long ago."
"It's like this, please calm your anger Sect Leader, I am only following orders." Lao Denuo bent his waist and said.
Ling Xiao laughed coldly twice before saying: "Good, I'll follow your orders, but I like obedient people like you. In the future, continue to stay in contact with the Mount Song. If there's an emergency, inform me immediately."
"This subordinate understands!" Lao Denuo nodded.
"Oh right, I need you to meet two more people." Ling Xiao said mysteriously.
"Who?" Lao Denuo asked in confusion.
Ling Xiao did not reply. Instead, he returned to his own place of meditation and drank some tea.
Not long after, the two of them entered the courtyard.
It was Ning Zhongze and Lu Da.
Seeing these two, Lao Denuo's pupils shrank and his body started to tremble uncontrollably. He did not know what Ling Xiao wanted with these two people.
Seeing Lao Denuo standing in the courtyard, Ning Zhong and Lu Da looked at each other with doubt written all over their faces. They obviously knew who Lao Denuo was, but they didn't understand why he was here.
"Do you know this person?" Ling Xiao asked without raising his head.
Lao Denuo stood at the side and cold sweat quickly appeared on his forehead when he heard this.
Ning Zhong nodded and said, "I do. He's from the same generation as Linghu Chong. Although he isn't outstanding, his strength isn't weak. He just keeps a low profile and doesn't attract too much attention."
"If the Sect Leader didn't order the disciple to be a Eldest Brother, then logically speaking, Senior Brother Lao Denuo should be the one to be a Eldest Brother." Lu Da said sincerely.
Although they didn't know what Ling Xiao was going to do, neither of them dared to make any wild guesses.
Ling Xiao put down the teacup in his hand, then stood up and said: "En, it's easy if you all know each other."
After walking to Lao Denuo's side, Ling Xiao said: "Then I will now formally introduce to you all that from today onwards, this person will be an intelligence officer of the Mount Song and will be responsible for investigating all information related to the Mount Song. At the same time, any misinformation will be notified to the Mount Song by him."
Hearing this, the three of them were stunned, Ning Zhong and Lu Da had never heard of the existence of such people, as for Lao Denuo, he never thought that Ling Xiao was not going to sell him out, but introduce his new identity.
After they were stunned for a short while, Ning Zhongze and Lu Dazhi responded and asked Ling Xiao for his next instructions.
"I can't stay on the mountain all the time, so naturally, I can't keep dealing with these things. Therefore, if there's an emergency in the future, I will have Lao Denuo directly contact all of you, and you can handle it yourselves. If there are any problems that he isn't handling, inform me." Ling Xiao said.
Upon hearing this, Ning Zhong nodded and said, "Understood. We'll take care of it."
Because Ning Zhong knew that Ling Xiao was about to leave the Huashan Mountain, she immediately understood. As for Lu Da, he was a little doubtful, but he did not ask any further, because he knew that he only needed to listen to Ling Xiao's orders.
"Also, other than the two of you, do not let anyone else know of Lao Denuo's identity." Ling Xiao reminded.
"Rest assured Sect Leader Ling, we will definitely keep this a secret." Ning Zhong nodded in agreement.
"Then there's nothing else. You can go first." Ling Xiao said.
After Ning Zhongze and Lu Da left, Lao Denuo immediately knelt in front of Ling Xiao, cupped his fists, and said: "Thank you Sect Leader Ling!"
"I have already said, as long as you are obedient, you can live a good life. If in the future, you have merits and you can do things for the Huashan Mountain, I will naturally cure the Iceworm's cold poison in your body." Ling Xiao said indifferently.
