Chapter 748: Means and Ends

Ling Xiao's eyes were cold, his palm was strong, and the reserve soldier in his hand was like being struck by lightning, and he was bleeding from all over the place, and he died on the spot!

"Wow!"

There was a commotion at the scene, and the captives retreated one after another, looking at Ling Xiao in horror.

Ling Xiao dropped the corpse in his hand, sneered, and lightly touched his toes on the ground!

Bang!

The ground in the crowd exploded suddenly, and the two soldiers screamed and were thrown out, crashing straight into the forbidden light curtain, followed by a "crackling" explosion, and the energy released by the light curtain forcibly destroyed the two!

Flowers of blood exploded and spilled down, plunging the captives into unimaginable fear.

"You ......"

"He's going to kill us all!"

Some screamed, others roared, and in the shadow of death, people seemed to degenerate into wild beasts, their red eyes shooting hatred and rage.

However, Ling Xiao didn't react, glanced around lightly, and kicked the corpse at his feet into the crowd.

"Search the soul of the corpse, collect the evidence and present it, you can take a credit." Ling Xiao dropped a jade slip, didn't make any stops, and floated away.

On the other side, Song Lu did the same thing, killing two people in a row without any delay.

Stepping into the next forbidden building, the captives here had already seen the bloody scene happening next to them, and at this moment they gathered together and looked at Ling Xiao with great anger.

"We have already surrendered, does the Dragon Star Dynasty still want to kill the prisoners?!"

Faced with the questioning, Ling Xiao didn't pay attention to it, and just repeated what he had just said: "Ling is only trying to arrest the red-clothed sect members who are hiding around you, and he will not harm innocent people. ”

With that, he had already locked on to his target, and his palm slashed through it, and an invisible blade seemed to be born in the air, easily cutting off the head of a monk!

Blood gushed three feet high, but Ling Xiao had already drifted away, still dropping a jade slip, leaving that sentence.

"Search the soul of the corpse, collect the evidence and present it, you can take a credit."

The captives who remained in place looked at each other.

Ling Xiao's movements were not unpleasant, in less than ten minutes, he completed the search of the twenty prisoners in the prohibition, and Song Lu on the other side also searched for thirteen prohibitions, and the two reunited.

"I killed eighteen."

After Song Lu's brief report, she once again disappeared into nothingness.

"Thanks."

Ling Xiao smiled, looked around at the thirty-three forbidden light masks in front of him, and walked towards the first forbidden light mask.

Step into it.

After experiencing the initial panic and fear, the captives had gradually recovered at this moment, but they still looked at Ling Xiao vigilantly.

Ling Xiao looked at the corpse on the ground that no longer had any spirituality, and nodded, "What is the result of the soul search?" ”

The captives looked at each other, and a foundation building monk hesitated for a moment, but finally came out of the crowd and handed over the jade slip that recorded the information of soul searching to Ling Xiao.

He looked at the jade slip with a look of horror.

The results of the soul search confirmed Ling Xiao's statement, the corpse on the ground was indeed the secret sect of the Cardinal Sect!

This is undoubtedly shocking!

Although he is a soldier in the reserve, he can only be selected after going through layers of screening, and this red-clothed sect member can enter the reserve, which means that the background check was completely fine at the beginning, so how did Ling Xiao find out the identity of this person?

Ling Xiao simply glanced at the contents of the jade slip, and then crushed it with disinterest.

"Well done, someone will send the reward later. But...... There are still red-clothed cultists lurking here, so keep an eye out for it, and there will be a reward for reporting it. ”

Ling Xiao smiled at everyone, then turned and walked towards the next forbidden light mask, leaving only a group of stunned captives.

Just like the murder just now, Ling Xiao's efficiency in dealing with the follow-up soul searching information was also super fast, and ten minutes later, he had already returned to the middle tent.

"Lord Ling, you...... What did you do? ”

Duanmu Xiong and the others asked in surprise.

"It's nothing, knock them out, and by the way, find out a group of lurking red-clothed cultists."

Ling Xiao smiled and sat down on the main seat.

Duanmuxiong and the others glanced at each other in amazement.

"How can you tell if those people are Cardinals?" One asked curiously.

"Intuition."

Ling Xiao blinked and said mysteriously.

That's right, it's intuition.

The Cardinal Sect is based on the assassination industry, and most of the members of the sect have to learn the ability related to assassination, and in front of Ling Xiao, most of the assassins can be said to have nothing to hide, and they can see through their unique behavioral logic of the killer at a glance.

Of course, this method is not 100% reliable.

Therefore, Ling Xiao only killed a small number of people with huge suspicions, for other captives to search for soul verification, and among the rest, there must be many lurking red-clothed sect members, but Ling Xiao didn't care.

Finding out the lurking red-clothed cultists was just incidental, and Ling Xiao's real purpose was to re-control the scene and prevent the captives from mutiny.

Those red-clothed cultists who were extremely well lurked could be slowly searched and arrested in the future.

Even if you still can't clean it up in the end, it's okay.

After this group of captives is reorganized, they will only be used as the most ordinary legion to train Shen Meng at this stage.

After Shen Meng became familiar with military affairs and personally formed the guards, it is estimated that the real useful talents among the captives were also discovered and transferred, and the rest of the people were casually sent to unimportant places to defend. In this way, even if there are still lurking red-clothed cultists inside, they will not be able to make any waves in the future.

After listening to Ling Xiao's plan, Duanmu Xiong bowed his head slightly, and said, "Lord Ling is far-sighted, and the officials admire it!" ”

Ling Xiao smiled and said, "General Duanmu, don't wear a top hat for me, you are more proficient than me in this area, and Your Highness's follow-up military studies will depend on your advice." ”

Duanmu Xiong said: "Don't dare." It is a matter of His Royal Highness's future, and His Majesty will definitely do his best to assist the young master. I believe that with His Royal Highness's talent, he will soon be able to surpass the lower officials! ”

"The young master has chosen the most suitable path for His Highness."

"Back then, Gaozu was a top general, His Royal Highness inherited the bloodline of Gaozu, and the future is promising!"

"yes, yes......"

Everyone laughed, not only to pat Ling Xiao and Shen Meng's sycophants, but also from the bottom of their hearts.

Power is fought by force.

If Shen Meng can become an excellent general in the future and have an absolutely loyal elite army under his command, then the succession to the throne will be nine out of ten, and no one can question it.

Seeing that everyone was talking and laughing, he arranged his future, and Shen Meng pouted next to him, looking angry.

But as a royal child, this is her inescapable fate.

Shen Meng sighed lightly, glanced at Ling Xiao, and lowered her head again to focus on learning the military knowledge that Duanmuxiong had chosen for her.

Next, Ling Xiao discussed with Duanmuxiong and others about the acceptance and treatment of the next captives, and after reaching a conclusion, he found a camp tent to rest and entered the retreat again.
