Ling Xiao only took out some silver, but it could save thousands of people. He felt that this was a good deed and there was nothing wrong with it.
Moreover, silver was basically useless to him.
"Many thanks, Master Ling!"
Under the lead of the old man, those people solemnly knelt towards Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao did not stop them.
If he did not let these people kneel, they would probably be afraid instead.
After all, Ling Xiao was a disciple of the Yuehua School. Moreover, he was an expert who could kill the Plague Demon King!
"Junior Brother Ling, although the plague outside has been cleared, there are still many animals that have mutated due to the plague. If we don't get rid of them, I'm afraid these people won't be able to live." Shangguan Lei reminded.
"That's simple. Just leave it to me!"
Ling Xiao faintly smiled and let Shangguan Lei lead everyone to pack up and prepare to leave the underground Devil Palace. He then turned and left.
He went to deal with those animals.
The infected animals did not need to be killed.
They were only infected by the plague virus, so their temperament became violent. If the plague virus was expelled, then they could be easily dealt with.
In just a quarter of an hour.
Shangguan Lei and the others had not even finished packing up when Ling Xiao had already returned.
"It's over?"
Shangguan Lei looked at Ling Xiao in astonishment, feeling that it was simply inconceivable.
"En, it's over. Moreover, I also took the time to contact the Northern Han troops stationed outside. They have already entered the valley and will help the people here to build temporary houses. As for this Devil's Den, let's inform the sect and let them deal with it."
Ling Xiao had already taken everything that should be taken. Therefore, even if this place was handed over to the Yuehua School, there was nothing wrong with it.
"We will listen to Junior Brother Ling's instructions."
Shangguan Lei now prostrated himself in admiration towards Ling Xiao. He did not have the slightest bit of doubt.
"Can I ask a question?"
When he was leading the people out of the Devil's Den, Ling Xiao suddenly asked, "Were the three of you really incited by Hei Suo and Meng Yuan to kill me?"
Although Ling Xiao had basically confirmed this matter, in the end, it was only his speculation. He needed an accurate answer.
Shangguan Lei nodded and said, "Junior Brother Ling's guess is correct. The three of us have a close relationship with Hei Suo. This time, it was him and Meng Yuan who enticed us with a large sum of money to make the three of us attack you during the mission."
"As expected."
Ling Xiao sneered in his heart. The Flame Deity's disciples had really put in a lot of effort to deal with him. Unfortunately, their conspiracy would never succeed.
"Then does Meng Yuan know the difficulty of this mission?"
Ling Xiao asked again.
"In the beginning, the three of us thought that this was just a normal Level 3 Quest. It should be easy for the three of us to complete it. Killing you was just a matter of convenience."
Shangguan Lei replied, "However, now that I think about it, Meng Yuan's attitude was ambiguous, and his words inadvertently revealed the uncertain factors of this mission. Therefore, I suspect that he knew that this mission was very likely to reach Level Four, or even Level Five. He just didn't want to tell us, for fear that we would be scared and retreat."
"Hmph, as expected, he's not a good person. He even cheated his own people?"
Ling Xiao sneered.
"His own people?"
Shangguan Lei shook his head and said, "No, Junior Brother Ling, you're wrong. In Meng Yuan's eyes, the three of us are just three chess pieces that can be discarded at any time. Other than his brothers and master, the others are not considered his own people."
"I can understand."
Ling Xiao nodded and said.
"To be honest, this time, if Junior Brother Ling didn't turn the tide and control the situation, I'm afraid I would have died."
Shangguan Lei sighed and said, "It's already very lucky that I didn't die this time. The reward for this mission will all be received by Junior Brother Ling."
Ling Xiao didn't refuse. If it was his, it was his. He had already given Shangguan Lei a lot of benefits. If Shangguan Lei didn't know what was good for him, then he would naturally think of a way.
This time, from the beginning to the end, it was only him who worked hard. Shangguan Lei helped a little. As for Wanyan Jun and Chen Zui, they were completely more of a hindrance.
It wouldn't be too much for him to receive all the rewards.
"Senior Brother Shangguan, you go back to the sect and report the situation first. I'll stay here to guard in case other disciples come and snatch it."
At this time, the plague had been completely removed. It was hard to guarantee that other sect disciples wouldn't come. It would be safer for him to stay here and wait for the experts of the Yuehua School to come.
"No problem."
Shangguan Lei understood why Ling Xiao wanted him to go back.
First, it was because his strength was naturally not as good as Ling Xiao's. If he stayed here, he was afraid that he would be in trouble again.
Second, it was probably a test for him to see how he would report to the sect after returning.
This Junior Brother of his was really watertight.
After Shangguan Lei left, Ling Xiao didn't stay idle. Instead, he continued to search in the valley.
Although he had already found most of the good things of the Plague Demon King from the treasury, in the process of searching this time, he still found a lot of spirit stone fragments left behind from the war in the past, as well as many growing in the valley.
Treasures of heaven and earth that the Plague Demon King didn't have time to pick.
These could be consumed directly, but they were more effective when used to refine pills. He could temporarily raise them in the Mountain River Realm.
In addition, there were also a lot of treasure remains and fragments.
He also collected these things. If he wanted to upgrade his 36 Big Dipper Flying Swords, he would need these materials.
In the end, Ling Xiao was completely rich this time.
He was only an outer sect disciple, and the salary that most of the inner sect disciples of the Yuehua School received every month was a mere 100 low-grade spirit stones.
This time, he had obtained more than 10,000 low-grade spirit stones. Whether it was used to set up arrays or cultivate, they were very useful.
Not to mention, there were also thousands of mid-grade spirit stones and hundreds of high-grade spirit stones. Only the core disciples had the chance to obtain mid-grade and high-grade spirit stones.
Moreover, they could only get two or three mid-grade spirit stones every month. It would be good if they could get one high-grade spirit stone a year.
He could be considered a real tycoon now.
After Ling Xiao returned to the Plague Manor from his treasure hunt, he found three disciples of the Beast King Palace standing there.
The manor's door had been sealed, and the words "Beast King Palace Seal" were written on it.
The two sons of the Valley Master of the Green Valley that Ling Xiao had just rescued were beaten black and blue. They were lying on the ground moaning.
Seeing this, Ling Xiao couldn't help but frown.
Although the rules of the Twelve Sects were not to have conflicts easily.
However, if someone was too shameless, Ling Xiao couldn't care less about those rules.
"Master Ling!"
When the two sons of the Valley Master of the Green Valley saw that Ling Xiao had returned, they were overjoyed and hurried over.
"It's okay, leave everything to me."
Although Ling Xiao didn't have much to do with the people of the Green Valley, he was the one who had rescued these people. If someone wanted to touch them, he wouldn't be happy!
Now that the two young masters of the Green Valley were injured, although they could still move, it was like slapping his face.
