Chapter 225: Luring The Snake Out Of Its Hole
“Also! Besides the reward system, the punishment system must also be brought up…
The few disciples who previously intruded into North Mountain, although you have already crippled them and driven them down the mountain.
But… the intensity is still not enough. To prevent such things from happening again, they must be strongly suppressed.
Among these disciples, many have ulterior motives. To prevent spies from other forces from appearing, starting today, close the mountain gate and properly rectify them…
Combining kindness and authority is the main core!
Using the back mountain training ground as bait to draw out those with ulterior motives.”
Ling Mo said seriously.
Dugu Bo was greatly shocked upon hearing this. He really hadn’t thought about this issue. After all, these people were all poached by him from other academies.
He did not know these people thoroughly. Now hearing Ling Mo say this, if there really were people with ulterior motives among them, it would be extremely disadvantageous to Ghost Gate.
“Sect Master, what do you mean?”
Dugu Bo vaguely had a guess. Ling Mo’s next plan would surely be as intense as thunder.
“That’s right! For the past period, I have not had time to manage sect affairs.
Just in time to use these few days to properly handle some traitors.
Pass down the order: starting tomorrow, close the mountain gate and first open the training ground for seven days.
Using closed-door cultivation as an excuse, prohibit all disciples from going out.
The training ground is of great importance. Presumably… some people are already secretly figuring out how to spread this news back.
As long as someone dares to step out of the mountain gate, they will surely be caught red-handed by the three thousand armored soldiers…
Also, arrange a few guards at North Mountain. Male disciples are not allowed to enter North Mountain. Anyone who dares to intrude will be killed without mercy.
I do not hope for similar things to happen again…”
Ling Mo said in detail. After listening, Dugu Bo was pensive.
He then nodded, admiring Ling Mo’s means in his heart.
This move to lure the snake out of its hole was used very cleverly.
From the early establishment of Ghost Gate, the system has always been imperfect and very lax.
As a result, these people entered and exited the mountain gate very casually.
First use favors to eliminate their suspicions. When everyone’s focus is on the training ground, some people have already started passing information outward.
At this time, it is time to strike! Secretly control these people in one fell swoop and carry out a purge.
There are many Ghost Gate disciples, involving many forces. Some are confidants nurtured by other forces and deliberately planted here.
Such people are useless no matter what favors are given, so they must be executed.
While others are willing to betray Ghost Gate for a little profit to benefit themselves.
Such fence-sitters, as long as given a warning and deterrence, then shown favors afterward, are much easier to handle.
Most of the disciples among them are good, wholeheartedly striving for the development of Ghost Gate. Ling Mo has all this in his eyes.
For example, the disciples of Heavenly Machine Pavilion and Hidden Blade Valley. These disciples have all been carefully observed by Ling Mo and have no problems.
Ling Mo’s dual pupils have extremely strong ability to read people. Whether there is a problem or not cannot be hidden from him.
What he is most worried about now is the disciples of Yanluo Hall and some female disciples mixed in North Mountain.
There are too many people. Ling Mo cannot check them one by one, so he can only use this move to lure the snake out of its hole to draw some people out.
Although it is said to close the mountain gate, Ling Mo still left a path down the mountain precisely to give these people an opportunity to go down.
“Understood! I will go handle it now. If there are no accidents, there will be results in these few days…
Additionally, for the captured disciples, should they be dealt with on the spot, or first brought back to await punishment?”
Dugu Bo’s last question: many things are decided by Ling Mo, and he is responsible for execution.
“No rush to kill first. Bring the captured ones directly back. At that time, hold a heaven-worshipping grand ceremony. I want to give them a kill the chicken to warn the monkey…
Ling Mo said with a cold smile. Spies cannot be killed off completely, but… he can put on a show, not only for these spies to see, but also for those forces trying to probe Ghost Gate’s secrets.
Power game is not child’s play!
“Good, I will go handle it now…”
After Dugu Bo finished speaking, he directly left Star Picking Tower, while Ling Mo… stayed alone in Star Picking Tower.
Seeing night gradually falling and dusk ending, looking down from Star Picking Tower, the mountain view was fully visible.
Geese flying in flocks, a scene of silence.
Now all the disciples were still in the training ground, cultivating desperately.
The cultivation speed of that training ground was extremely abnormal. How could they dare to slack off? They wished to stay in the training ground all day.
Night fell, and Ling Mo had not left Star Picking Tower, standing at the top floor window looking down.
Dugu Bo’s orders had been conveyed, and the mountain gate had been closed, but Ling Mo had deliberately left a passage on the north side of Yanluo Hall.
This small path could also lead down the mountain, but… ordinary people could not possibly discover this small path. It was hidden very deeply.
Only some people with real ulterior motives would know the secret of this small path.
Yanluo Hall gradually had many people appearing one after another. These were disciples who had cultivated for a day and were mentally exhausted, returning to Yanluo Hall to rest.
At midnight, suddenly on Yanluo Hall’s square, a few shadows flashed by with extremely agile movements.
Under the moonlight, they appeared particularly conspicuous.
Unfortunately, it was already midnight now, and there was no one moving in Yanluo Hall, so they did not know that a group of people was secretly scheming something.
“You all know the mystery of the training ground now, right…”
“Boss, the power of this training ground is really too powerful. In just a short day, I actually increased one level of soul power.
I didn’t expect this sect master who looks so young to create such a training ground.
This matter is of great importance. Should we arrange for someone to go down the mountain to convey this secret?”
A group of people was conspiring in a dark corner, unaware that… all their actions were taking place within Ling Mo’s sight.
From a thousand meters away, Ling Mo could clearly see their every move and judge what they were saying from their lip movements.
“Hmph… finally willing to come out?”
Ling Mo was not in a hurry to act. He casually summoned a few yin soldiers to secretly monitor these people.
Meanwhile, Dugu Bo was already waiting at the foot of the mountain. Leaving this passage was precisely to wait for them to fall into the net.
Apart from this group, in another corner, there were also quite a few people, various kinds totaling about a dozen groups.
Good grief, not investigating means not knowing, but once investigated, it is shocking.
Ling Mo was so startled that cold sweat flowed. It was like a sharp sword hanging over his head, ready to fall at any time.
Among these disciples, so many scums had actually mixed in. It really made one angry.
“You few follow me! I know a small path that can directly bypass the mountain gate and reach the foot of the mountain…”
The group had conspired almost enough and began moving toward that small path.
Today, they had already witnessed the terror of the training ground. This was absolutely a heaven-shaking secret.
If this news was sent back, they would definitely receive a large reward.
They were all mercenaries for money. They never belonged to any sect. As long as the money was given, they would work for anyone.
“Mm… time to close the net!”
Ling Mo watched all this and ordered the yin soldiers in the gorge to act at any time. As soon as anyone dared to step out of the mountain gate, start capturing them directly.
They did not know that this small path was covered with yin soldiers, just waiting for them to enter the net.
Begging for monthly tickets, begging for monthly tickets. Brothers, fling out the tickets in your hands…
