Chapter 380 - Lao Denuo

"So Sect Leader Ling knew why Yu Canghai left the Mount Song. I really don't know what happened here."

Hearing this, Ling Xiao asked with doubt, "Could it be that you didn't hear anything about the Fuzhou on the way here?"

Lao Denuo shook his head and said: "I have only heard about the heroic deeds of the Sect Leader Ling, especially when we were near the Fuzhou. Along the way, there are many caravans and bustling markets, and I brought people here disguised as caravans.

Hearing this, Ling Xiao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly. He was extremely curious as to why the topic of the Fuzhou did not spread even after so many days had passed.

"This group of people are really well-hidden. I'm afraid something has happened inside." Ling Xiao muttered to himself.

Seeing Ling Xiao's expression, Lao Denuo knew that this matter was not normal, thus he tried his best to recall the information he had gathered before coming here, and in the end said with a serious face: "Sect Leader Ling, when this subordinate was near the Fuzhou, I received a piece of information regarding the Mount Song Sect."

"Oh? Do you know why you did not report this to me? " Ling Xiao said somewhat angrily.

Hearing this, Lao Denuo immediately lowered his head, cupped his fists and said: "Return to Sect Leader Ling, because this subordinate did not know that this matter might be related to Sect Leader Ling's thoughts, and thought that it was a completely unrelated matter."

"Alright, stop talking nonsense, hurry up and say it." Ling Xiao waved his hand, and said impatiently.

Lao Denuo replied, then quickly told Ling Xiao all the information he knew in the simplest way.

Originally, the Mount Song had sent some news. After Yu Canghai returned to the Mount Song, he sent him a clearance order, but the specific details were not known, because it was issued in an extremely secretive manner. Even though Lao Denuo and his men had entered into the deepest level, because the time it took to enter the inner sect was too short, they didn't have enough authority to know too much.

It was also because Lao Denuo did not understand enough information that he did not think of reporting to Ling Xiao. This was because, after the order to clear the area was sent out, Huashan Mountain did not receive the slightest bit of threat and Mount Song did not send anyone over to Huashan Mountain.

After listening to Lao Denuo's narration, Ling Xiao pondered for a moment. He was pondering about the reason why Yu Canghai had given such an order the moment he had returned to the Mount Song since the end of the matter.

"Didn't your people follow the people who were ordered to clear the area?" Ling Xiao looked at Lao Denuo and asked.

Hearing that, Lao Denuo lowered his head again, and cupped his fists: "Sect Leader Ling, the number of people I have trained in this short period of time is limited, these people are all carefully groomed by me, every single one of them have an absolute loyalty, and every single one of them are extremely rare talents, and I have already sent all of them to the most important place, I truly do not have the means to send any more reliable people to track those people who have accepted the mission."

"Sect Leader Ling, those people who accepted the quest were all experts from the Mount Song. I don't dare to send anyone unless they meet certain requirements, otherwise, the Mount Song might discover the people I placed here." Lao Denuo explained.

Hearing this, Ling Xiao slowly nodded his head, and said: "Mn, your consideration is considered thorough, this matter is indeed not that simple, but it is indeed very rare for you to be able to infiltrate Mount Song."

"Thank you, Sect Leader Ling, for your understanding." Lao Denuo heaved a sigh of relief and cupped his fists.

Although your man did not go with you, I have already guessed that this Yu Canghai is indeed a vicious and merciless old Jianghu. He actually dared to kill him upon his return. Ling Xiao looked out of the window with his hands behind his back, and said with a sneer.

"This subordinate is curious, Sect Leader Ling, please enlighten me." Lao Denuo asked curiously.

Ling Xiao turned to look at Lao Denuo and said confidently: "I will not guess wrong. At that time, Yu Canghai had lost face in front of the crowd, and with his position, no one would ever see him in such a sorry state. Thus, as soon as he returned to the Mount Song, he immediately issued the order to clear up the area, with the aim of killing those who had seen Yu Canghai's sorry state."

Hearing this, Lao Denuo could not help but say in astonishment: "For so many experts of the Jianghu to suddenly die, this is definitely an unusual matter. Moreover, the famous sects and schools on the Jianghu would definitely send people to investigate as well, what kind of abilities does he have to be able to fight against the entire Jianghu?"

"Hmph, this treacherous old fogey. He wants to blame me for these bloody cases." Ling Xiao said coldly.

Hearing that, Lao Denuo was shocked, and asked: "What should we do, the other party is already one step ahead of us, if we do not stop him, then we will become the target of public criticism."

When Ling Xiao heard this, he let out a few cold laughs and said, "Those people on the Jianghu are not idiots, and naturally wouldn't be easily convinced. This time, my Huashan Mountain Sect didn't send out anyone, and even if Yu Canghai wants to frame me, I'm afraid he'll have to expend some effort.

"Sect Leader Ling, isn't this a bit too risky? Our Huashan Mountain Sect doesn't have enough strength to deal with the entire Jianghu yet, even if it's against the Five Mountain, it would be extremely difficult." Lao Denuo said.

However, Ling Xiao's expression remained calm, as though he was not worried at all, "Don't worry, I will not be bullied by such a wretched old man."

Seeing Ling Xiao's confident expression, Lao Denuo immediately relaxed a lot. He knew that if Ling Xiao said there was a way, there must be a way.

"Sect Leader Ling, what orders do you have for this subordinate?" Lao Denuo asked.

Ling Xiao did not speak immediately. Instead, he walked in front of Lao Denuo, patted his shoulders and said with a serious expression: "Lao Denuo, this mission is not ordinary, we must complete it with our utmost attention. This concerns us whether or not we can grasp the movements of the entire Jianghu at the first possible moment."

Hearing this, Lao Denuo couldn't help but become serious as well. It was rare for him to see such a serious expression on Ling Xiao's face, and he couldn't help but become alert and look at Ling Xiao seriously.

"Please speak, Sect Leader Ling, and this subordinate will naturally go all out." Lao Denuo replied.

"Since the things that happened in the Fuzhou a few days ago have not been spread out, then I will tell you a simple story. Perhaps after you finish listening, you will understand what I want to do." After that, Ling Xiao began to explain to Lao Denuo what had happened, and Lao Denuo listened attentively.
