Chapter 767: Borrowing People

"The Xushan volcano erupted, the Star-Plucking Tower was destroyed; Lingxu City was damaged, with heavy casualties... Lingxu incident, the world was shocked..." Elder Dao said slowly, "Do you know who did this?" He asked knowingly, and He Lingchuan didn't hesitate: "Lingxu City was destroyed by Fang Canran."

Elder Dao nodded, secretly shocked in his heart.

Elder Dao naturally knew very well what role Fang Canran played in this incident. And these people came from Beijia, holding the token given by Fang Canran.

In terms of time, it matched the Lingxu incident perfectly.

Listening to words, one must listen to the words outside the words; this youth pointed out in one word that what Fang Canran stirred up was only Lingxu City, not "Xushan."

The Xushan incident was caused by someone else.

Who could know such details? The Tiangong didn't know, and the people in Elder Dao's organization didn't know either.

Only the actual participants knew clearly. 【76

Elder Dao muttered, "The Spirit-Gathering Array?"

The sudden change in Lingxu City overnight began with the volcanic eruption at Mount Xu. And Elder Dao had his own channels, knowing better than others that the breaking of the Mount Xu Spirit-Gathering Array and the Great Fire Spirit Zu Ju regaining his freedom were the true beginnings of all this.

If not for the incident at Mount Xu, how would Fang Canran have dared to incite the riot in Lingxu City? They had been planning in Lingxu City for many years, only to wait for such an opportunity.

He Lingchuan smiled: "What does this mean?"

Beside him, Zhu Xiuer and Dong Rui also remained silent, letting him take the lead.

Elder Dao wanted to speak but hesitated.

Was this young man going to admit it or not? Elder Dao was also an old hand in the world; after a little pondering, he understood.

For Lingxu City, this was a top-tier capital crime. Once they knew who the saboteur was, they would surely hunt him to the ends of the earth.

Therefore, these people would absolutely not admit it.

So, were they truly the ones who destroyed the Spirit-Gathering Array? I am afraid there will be no definitive answer to this matter.

Elder Dao only knew that his side had been laying plans and operating in Lingxu City for so many years, yet they had never found an opportunity to break the array.

The Tiangong's setup and protection of the Spirit-Gathering Array were truly very tight. The organization had put in so much effort, even making major sacrifices, yet had failed.

If these few did not have real talent and ability, Fang Canran would not have given such a high evaluation, right? He steadied himself: "May I ask, which organization do you all belong to?"

He could see the spider demon's cultivation was remarkable, the young man's spirit was restrained, and another was the master of the Ghost Ape. None of these three were pushovers, but relying on just these three to turn Lingxu City upside down was not quite enough.

They must have had other assistance.

Such a heaven-shaking operation involved countless details and countless variables; it could not have been completed by the strength of a mere few.

He Lingchuan coughed: "We are all wandering cultivators, free as clouds and wild cranes."

Elder Dao laughed immediately: "No matter, no matter, no need to say."

He didn't believe it at all, thinking only that these people wanted to keep it a secret.

After all, both sides were meeting for the first time; how could they dare to reveal their true hearts completely? People who could accomplish such things in Lingxu City had probably long ago written the word "caution" as their motto.

He Lingchuan did not explain either, pointing to the iron ring: "Old Fang sent an avian demon afterward, gave me the ring and the code, and said there were people here who could be of use to me."

In fact, Fang Canran's note had contact information for quite a few people. He Lingchuan had headed west out of the Xulu Nation and conveniently found the one closest to him.

Which was Elder Dao of Mount Rong.

Fang Canran acted with great caution, and Elder Dao knew this very well; otherwise, Fang Canran could not have been an undercover agent in Lingxu City for many years without revealing his tracks.

Could this iron ring have been stolen?

The possibility was extremely small. There were many kinds of tokens within the organization; only by sending the correct token to the correct person, plus the password, could it match.

There were also many kinds of passwords.

If the token or password He Lingchuan presented at this moment were wrong, Elder Dao would have turned hostile on the spot.

He asked casually: "What kind of avian demon?"

"A big parrot, with gaudy colors."

Elder Dao nodded; that was correct, Fang Canran's family bird was a big, colorful parrot.

He Lingchuan asked again: "We left early, I don't know what happened to Old Fang afterward?"

Lingxu City was in chaos, and the three of them had escaped the crime scene almost immediately on the Snail Toad. But Fang Canran was the mastermind behind the subsequent series of events, and He Lingchuan had spent several months in the wilderness, unaware of his whereabouts.

"He has already left Lingxu City. I have not yet received further news." Lingxu City was too far from here; passing news from east to west was not easy.

He Lingchuan nodded, not surprised.

Based on his understanding of the Heavenly Gods and the Demon Emperor, having suffered such a great humiliation, they would definitely retaliate crazily.

The entire Lingxu City was the center of the storm; for Fang Canran to continue staying there, the risk was too great.

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.

Besides, he organized manpower to cause destruction, and looking at that formation, there were many participants. If one or two were captured, wouldn't they betray Fang Canran?

Elder Dao waved his hand: "He will act according to circumstances; no need for us to worry."

Now his attention was entirely on the four words "be of use to me" that He Lingchuan had mentioned.

Fang Canran not only trusted this young man but also let Elder Dao satisfy his need for "manpower"? If these few had single-handedly started the changes in Lingxu City and Mount Xu, their contribution was outstanding; they were indeed worthy of Fang Canran, worthy of the organization valuing them so much.

Combined with the fact that He Lingchuan was an outsider to the organization, the meaning of Fang Canran giving the "First-Rank in the World" password was that this person was extremely valuable and on the same front as them; Elder Dao must win him over with all his might!

The organization did not lack people; it lacked talent and extraordinary geniuses.

Therefore, if the other party wanted people, give them people; if they wanted money, give them money; if they wanted convenience, give them full convenience.

So Elder Dao pondered for a moment before asking: "Where does Young Master He intend to go?"

"First head south, then I have to take a trip to the Yuan Nation."

"You want manpower for?" His tone had already become respectful.

He Lingchuan smiled: "To add to the grandeur of the journey."

"..."

"Just a little joke, Elder, don't mind it." He Lingchuan restrained his smile, "I have quite a few subsequent actions, but I lack manpower and need various kinds of talent."

Elder Dao nodded: "The moon has passed the center of the sky; honored guests, please rest first, and tomorrow we shall deliberate carefully?"

He Lingchuan knew he also needed to calculate carefully, so he stood up to take his leave.

Elder Dao grabbed a handful of peanuts and handed them to the Ghost Ape.

The little monkey naturally took them with both hands and gnawed on them happily.

Elder Dao asked Dong Rui: "So this monkey is yours?"

"Yeah, this guy doesn't listen to me and runs around everywhere." Dong Rui glared fiercely at the Ghost Ape, and the latter lowered its head guiltily.

On the way here, the Ghost Ape had already communicated with him.

Thus, the Mount Rong disciples led the few to the guest quarters to rest.

Soaking in a hot bath when exhausted made the whole body feel comfortable, and the fatigue of traveling in the wild for days was driven away all at once. As long as the unexpected heavy rain outside the window didn't fall on oneself, it was a beautiful scene of drizzling rain.
