"You're saying that Mr. Mou wants you to investigate all the mines of the Ling Family in the past ten years, whether they're currently mined or abandoned?" After listening to Ma Yingu's narration, Ling Dong's brows furrowed tightly.
Investigating the mines of the Ling family, whether they were abandoned or being mined, Ling Dong, who already had some clues, had a clear goal. It should be to find the crystal mine that might exist in the Ling family.
"Damn you, Ling Zhengshan. You really brought the family into danger!" Ling Dong cursed silently. He could already confirm that even if the Ling family was not destroyed by Mr. Mou, it was definitely related to him. And now, the destruction of the family was not far away.
Once the location of the crystal mine that might exist in the Ling family was confirmed, the person behind the scenes would not hesitate to kill the Ling family. The benefits of a crystal mine, even if it was a poor one, were enough to tempt some big forces.
"Yes!" Ma Yingu nodded helplessly. First, there was Ling Dong's terrifying teacher, who was at least a middle-level Earth Emanations Realm cultivator. Then, there was the poison pill produced by an Earth Alchemist to control them. No matter how unwilling Ma Yingu was, he could only listen to Ling Dong obediently.
Of course, Ma Yingu's ideas were all coincidentally created by Ling Dong. Without that, Ling Dong felt that the possibility of completely controlling Ma Yingu was not high, and he would not hesitate to kill Ma Yingu.
"How is your investigation going?" Ling Dong asked.
Ma Yingu smiled bitterly and said, "At the beginning, how can it be? I only reported a rough number. As for the details, Mr. Mou asked us not to alarm the Ling family. And the Ling family's mine will only be closed for two to three months after the snow closes the mountain in winter. Usually, it is full of miners and guards, so we can only enter the mountain to search.
To tell you the truth, one of the reasons I went into the mountains this time was to capture you and save my son. The real reason is to investigate the Ling family's mine. I've already arranged for my trusted subordinates to do that. "
"Other than that, what else did Mr. Mou ask you to do?" Ling Dong asked again.
"The information about the Ling family, the members of the Ling family, the strength of the Elite Hall, and the number of warriors in the Connate Realm," Ma Yingu said.
"You've reported it?"
"So far, we've only found information about most of the direct descendants of the Ling family. The situation of the Ling family's Elite Hall is more complicated …" Ma Yingu said quietly.
"Information on the direct descendants? How did you report me in the report you sent? "Ling Dong suddenly asked with interest.
Ma Yingu's expression was a little strange. He curled his lips and said, "Our spies all evaluated you as lazy, addicted to gambling, and lecherous. You ate, drank, whored, and gambled. You were at Houtian Realm Level Five and posed no threat!"
After pausing for a while, Ma Yingu muttered, "Who would have thought that all the spies, including me, were wrong about you. Even I …"
"Good! Good! Good! Wonderful! " Ling Dong said "good" and "wonderful" three times in a row, making Ma Yingu even more embarrassed. He thought that Ling Dong was mocking him. Actually, he didn't know what Ling Dong was really thinking.
What Ling Dong was thinking was that the information sent by the Ma Yingu had inadvertently created a perfect cover for him. Would Mr. Mou notice a rich man who ate, drank, whored, and gambled?
Of course not!
Then, Ling Dong would be free to make some arrangements. When the family was facing a life and death situation, it was very possible for them to stage a brilliant counterattack.
"Oh yes, Sect Leader Ma, what exactly did Mr. Mou give you in return for you to work for him so obediently?" Ling Dong suddenly asked curiously.
"Silver, a lot of silver. A hundred thousand taels of silver per month for the duration of my work. Ten thousand taels of silver for an accurate piece of information!" Ma Yingu sighed.
"That's not all, right? If it's just silver, then isn't he a big fat sheep? Sect Leader Ma, who is used to taking advantage of others, why would you let such a big fat sheep walk around in front of you? "Ling Dong frowned and asked.
After hearing Ling Dong's question, Ma Yingu swallowed his saliva with difficulty. "Also, cultivation. Mr. Mou had two guards with him, and both of them were at Xiantian Realm Level Nine. That's not the most powerful one. The most powerful one is still Mr. Mou. Once, he released an invisible aura to scare me. He was definitely at the initial stage of the Earth Emanations Realm. Just the three of them were enough to destroy the Boulder Gang, which was only at Xiantian Realm Level Seven. How could they dare to talk about taking advantage of others! "
The two guards were at Xiantian Realm Level Nine, and Mr. Mou himself was at the initial stage of the Earth Emanations Realm. It was a pleasant surprise to receive this information. This trip to Xiong Nan Mountain was already worth it.
At the same time, Ling Dong also felt a little fortunate that he had used Qingyi Yuan Chen as a tiger skin to intimidate Ma Yingu.
If not for Qingyi Yuan Chen's intimidating presence, Ling Dong would have directly used the poison pill to control Ma Yingu. Then, Ma Yingu might have directly reported this to Mr. Mou.
After all, Mr. Mou was at the initial stage of the Earth Emanations Realm.
After pondering for a while, Ling Dong carefully sorted out the situation before making a decision. "Leader Ma, after I leave, arrange for your men to patrol the nearby Xiong Nan Mountain. You don't have to investigate the Ling family's mine. Get your men to pay attention to the people on Xiong Nan Mountain, especially those who are loitering around the Ling family's mine. Get your men to record everything and send the information here! "As he spoke, Ling Dong took out a map and pointed to an eye-catching location.
"Keep the information here. Use a rock to arrange the Big Dipper. I'll come and check from time to time. If you can't contact me during these days, I'll write down my next instructions here. Tell your men to keep an eye on it! Also, try your best to deal with Mr. Mou. If he has any new instructions, inform me immediately. Also, don't neglect the situation in Nanshan County! "Ling Dong instructed.
"Yes!" Ma Yingu replied helplessly.
Looking at Ma Yingu's helpless expression, Ling Dong smiled again. "When you're doing things, please ask your men to be careful! Also, don't worry about your son's injury. As long as he's kept alive with ginseng soup, he'll be fine for the time being. When I'm free in a few days, I'll go and save him! Also, I'll ask my master for two bottles of Xiantian Upper Grade pills that can strengthen one's foundation and strengthen one's cultivation for you and your son! That high grade primordial medicinal pill will definitely allow Gang Leader Ma's cultivation to advance another level. "
If you want someone to work hard, you can't just use a big stick. You have to use a big stick with a sweet date and hope. That way, the other party will work hard. This was the experience that Ling Dong had learned from the bloody lessons of his previous life.
"Really?" Hearing this, Ma Yingu was immediately energized. His previous decadence was swept away.
"How can it be fake? My master is an Earth Alchemist. Two bottles of Xiantian Upper Grade pills are just a piece of cake for him! Don't worry. After this is done, not only will you have two bottles of pills, you'll also be rewarded with a million taels of silver for your hard work! Here, I'll give you five hundred thousand taels first, in case you say that I'm making empty promises! "Ling Dong threw out a stack of banknotes.
Speaking till here, Ling Dong's expression suddenly turned serious. "But if this is messed up, there's no need for the Ling family to do anything. My master can kill you with half a hand … Not to mention your unconscious son and wife … Hmph!" In his words, there was a strong sense of threat.
For someone who had been in the Jianghu for decades, empty promises were not enough. The five hundred thousand taels of banknotes, in addition to the previous methods, made Ma Yingu completely stand on Ling Dong's side.
Ma Yingu suddenly shivered, as if he had thought of some terrible consequences. He looked at the stack of banknotes happily and patted his chest. "Third Young Master Ling, don't worry. I'll definitely do this beautifully. Not to mention the lives of my son and I, even if you're generous, I'll do it well for you."
"That can't be better!" As he spoke, Ling Dong tapped twice on Ma Yingu's chest with lightning speed. "After 15 minutes, your power will recover. You don't need me to teach you what to do, do you?"
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Ma Yingu. The Cloud Chasing Boots on his feet lit up with a misty green light. His entire body was like a green lightning bolt as he rushed out of the cave and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Looking at the sudden appearance of the misty green light, Ma Yingu was stunned. He stared with his eyes wide open for a long time before he cursed in shock.
"Damn it, the boots on this kid's feet, at the very least, are Xiantian Upper Grade rare speed-type weapons right? Wearing that treasure, his speed is actually not much slower than me. I've lived for so many years, but I haven't gotten a speed-type weapon!
It's so damn good to have a teacher in the middle stage of the Earth Realm who is also an Earth Alchemy Master! If only I had such a life … "
