Chapter 162: Dugu Bo Returns
It was not until the third day, after Qian Renxue recovered, that she left Ghost Gate.
When leaving, she still resentfully glared at Ling Mo.
It seems this place cannot be visited often! It’s deadly…
“I should go back too! I’ve been out for several days, the Soul Master Competition is starting in one month, I need to hurry and cultivate…”
After Qian Renxue left, Zhu Zhuqing also had the intention to return. Ling Mo was reluctant but did not dare to stop her.
She had her own things to do, Ling Mo would not stop her, this was the most basic respect.
“Alright! I’ll send you back…”
“No need, I’ll go back myself, you have so many things to do!”
Letting her go back alone, Ling Mo was not at ease and suggested sending her back, but she refused.
“Don’t worry! Number Five is following me, and besides… these clothes of mine are not to be trifled with…”
Zhu Zhuqing said gently. Her body was equipped with top-tier hidden weapons crafted by Ling Mo for her, all kinds of hidden weapons, no one had more than her.
Besides, she had Number Five protecting her at all times, who could hurt her?
“Alright, but you should still be careful! That old fellow Xue Xing will not let it go so easily.”
In the end, Ling Mo helplessly accepted it. Thinking about it, it made sense! Ling Mo had witnessed Number Five’s strength with his own eyes.
Even Dugu Bo could not last one round against him, this guy was not to be trifled with.
“Alright! I’m leaving first…”
After saying that, Zhu Zhuqing kissed Ling Mo on the face and left satisfied.
She had been out for several days this time! If she did not go back soon, Flander would probably be anxious.
After Zhu Zhuqing left, Ling Mo stayed alone on the mountain, he still could not leave for the time being.
After all, he had suddenly taken in so many female disciples, there was not a single person in charge in the sect, if he left, who would take charge?
This day, while Ling Mo was guarding Star Picking Tower, a figure suddenly appeared at the foot of the mountain and quickly walked up.
“Sect Master! I’m back…”
That’s right, it was that silly Dugu Bo. He walked into Star Picking Tower laughing loudly.
“What good news, you’re so happy?”
Dugu Bo had a face full of glory, extremely happy.
Ling Mo was also very curious, what good thing was worth him being so happy.
“Haha, Sect Master, you don’t know! This time I went down the mountain and netted quite a few talents.
I visited all the large and small academies in the entire Heaven Dou Empire and spotted quite a few talents.
Soon, they will come up the mountain! These people, though their aptitude cannot compare to Sect Master yours, but… if properly cultivated, they are also rare talents…”
Dugu Bo had been busy for over half a month and finally netted quite a few people.
After hearing his explanation, Ling Mo was also delighted!
Good fellow, people have arrived! Next, Ghost Gate has officially entered the development stage.
Once they master grave robbery techniques or hidden weapon crafting techniques proficiently, Ling Mo will place them in various industries.
A perfect commercial link will be formed! At that time, Ling Mo will have the foundation to contend with other sects…
“Well done! Good… Once these people come up the mountain, immediately start training, must train them in the shortest time…”
Calculating the time, there is at least five years left, after five years, the continental structure will soon begin to change.
Ling Mo needs five years to thoroughly cultivate them, at that time… Ghost Gate can display its grand plans, Ling Mo waves his hand, using Spirit Hall as a springboard, perhaps he can really unify the continent.
Currently, the biggest obstacles in front of Ling Mo are the two great empires Star Luo and Heaven Dou, besides that… there is also Spirit Hall.
The rest! Ling Mo does not need to pay attention to, because… empire unification has no interest conflict with these sects.
Even if the continent is unified, they can still exist, just… they will be subject to the empire’s laws.
Star Luo Empire, because of Zhu Zhuqing, Ling Mo will inevitably clash with it sooner or later!
As for Heaven Dou Empire, Qian Renxue is already scheming, even if in the end Ling Mo cannot unify, he can still retreat unscathed.
This is a crazy idea, deeply buried in Ling Mo’s heart for many years.
Unification is necessary, but… it depends on what means to use for unification.
“Where are the people now?”
Ling Mo asked eagerly.
“Calculating the time, they should be almost here! This time, not only did I recruit students from various academies, I also pulled in quite a few famous strong experts from the Soul Master World.
These people are very interested in your hidden weapons, Sect Master, therefore… joining Ghost Gate is to witness the essence of these hidden weapons.
Additionally… these people, besides their own strong strength, are also top-tier elites in various industries.
With these people, our industrial chain can soon be put into the continent.”
Dugu Bo explained, he had paid a lot for Ghost Gate.
This was not just for Ling Mo, but also for his granddaughter.
Only when Ghost Gate becomes stronger and stronger can Dugu Yan have a better future.
He was already half a foot in the coffin, long indifferent to fame and fortune, the reason for doing these was completely not for himself.
“Mm! Right… North Mountain has already taken in a batch of female disciples, if there are female disciples among this group, arrange them all to North Mountain.
As for male disciples, all place them in Front Mountain Yanluo Hall, as for those strong experts and elites with outstanding abilities, temporarily place them in Back Mountain!
Back Mountain, except cannot approach Hall of Worship, other places can house people.
Also, Back Mountain has a special training ground for hidden weapon crafting, if anyone in this group is interested in this aspect, pull them all to Back Mountain.
In a bit, I’ll organize some books, diagrams and such on hidden weapon crafting, take them all to Back Mountain.
Tame them well again, I don’t like raising ungrateful wolves, to learn these things, first… their loyalty must be toward Ghost Gate, not a trace of disloyalty!”
Ling Mo began arranging these matters, in the early stage of Ghost Gate’s establishment, he had already considered very comprehensively.
The Hall of Worship he mentioned was different from the one in Spirit Hall.
This Hall of Worship, not necessarily only Titled Douluo can enter, as long as those with great contributions to the sect, all have the opportunity to enter.
The purpose is very clear, Ling Mo wants to stimulate their competitiveness, once entering Hall of Worship, status also changes accordingly.
This is a means!
No choice, Ling Mo is not familiar with this aspect, can only copy Spirit Hall a bit.
However… the rules inside were slightly changed, compared to it, more perfect a bit.
“Good! Once people arrive, I’ll handle it immediately.”
After Dugu Bo heard, he quickly understood, the sect was also built by his own hands, he was very familiar with the sect’s terrain.
Ling Mo’s arrangements were also within his expectations.
“Sect Master, one more thing!”
“Speak…”
“Heaven Dou Empire seems not very satisfied with our actions, vaguely showing some targeting intent.
This targeting intent seems to have appeared just these few days, no reaction before…”
Dugu Bo mentioned another matter.
“Mm? I see, it should be that old fellow Xue Xing pushing from behind, no matter…”
Upon hearing, Ling Mo immediately understood something.
“Prince Xue Xing?”
Dugu Bo was stunned upon hearing, his friendship with Xue Xing was not bad, how could he make a move against Ling Mo?
