Chapter 276 - Troubleshooting
After sending Yue Lingshan off, Ling Xiao closed the door and started meditating, pondering about what had happened recently.
Ling Xiao had already calculated the warning that Yue Lingshan would give. For the troubles outside, Ling Xiao could choose to avoid them, but for the trouble that came looking for him, he could not avoid it. Otherwise, it would be his cowardly performance.
Towards this kind of person who did not have good eyesight, Ling Xiao would usually not give them any face, but since they were disciples of the same sect, it would be better to act lighter.
Moreover, Ling Xiao's goal was not only for the sword sect to rise, but more importantly, he wanted the entire Huashan Mountain to be led by the sword sect!
And to become a leader, the most important thing was to convince the masses.
At this time, in a neat and tidy building in the Huashan Mountain, in a courtyard house, a few people were gathered. This was the dorm of the disciples of the Huashan Mountain, and most of the ordinary disciples lived here.
The person in the lead was one of the most outstanding young elites, Lu Da.
”Did you hear about the Shijie Linshan going to Ling Xiao's residence?” Lu Da said coldly while looking at the crowd.
When everyone heard this, they nodded their heads vigorously in response, ”I heard that it is indeed true.”
Originally, when Yue Lingshan was bringing food to Ling Xiao, he had already been seen by the disciples of the Huashan Mountain. Basically, as long as Yue Lingshan appeared anywhere, there would be traces of them.
After all, they did not have Yue Lingshan's backing and did not dare to act rashly.
However, Ling Xiao's residence had been in a desolate place for a long time, and if Ling Xiao was not there, it would be an empty palace. As for the seniors of the sword sect, they would naturally not take it seriously, as well.
That was why they dared to follow Yue Lingshan like a dog.
”This Ling Xiao is truly daring, to actually let the Shijie Linshan send him food, I'm afraid he's tired of living!” Lu Da said angrily.
”That's right, it's just that we have good luck. We won a battle against the Shijie Linshan, yet you dare to give such orders. You truly have the guts to eat a bear heart and leopard's guts.” One of the Huashan Mountain disciple waved her fist and said angrily.
As for the Huashan Mountain disciples beside him, they were also huffing and puffing. It seemed like Yue Lingshan's action of giving them food had made him offend many people in an instant.
After Lu Da looked around at the crowd, he said with a righteous tone: ”Now that the Eldest Brother is no longer here, we cannot neglect it. We must not weaken his reputation.”
”That's right, the Shijie Linshan is destined to be the Eldest Brother, we cannot let Ling Xiao have the chance.” Another Huashan Mountain disciple chimed in.
The Eldest Brother that they spoke of was the one with the greatest reputation and the strongest strength amongst the disciples of Huashan Mountain, Linghu Chong.
Although in the eyes of the disciples of Huashan Mountain, Yue Lingshan was their goddess, no one dared to fight for her, because no one would dare challenge her with her presence.
Over time, everyone gradually changed from fear to support towards Hu Chong. From this, it could be seen how high Hu Chong's position in Huashan Mountain was.
