After Zhang Hao finished speaking, he flew towards the Watt Country Imperial Palace.
At this moment, in the Watt Country Imperial Palace. Murong Jingtian and Murong Old Ancestor were sitting together.
"Ancestor, you said, is it a bit hasty for our Murong Family to pressure the Zhang Family like this this time?" Murong Jingtian hesitated slightly.
"Hahaha, Jingtian, now that I, this Ancestor, have broken through to the Martial King realm, do you think there's anyone in Watt Country who can match me, this Ancestor? What's more, with the help of Young Master Nangong Hai," Murong Old Ancestor said lightly.
Murong Jingtian nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Ancestor is right. With the help of Ancestor and Nangong Hai, the Zhang Family won't be able to cause much trouble. At this moment, we must completely eradicate the Zhang Family."
"Hahaha, Murong Jingtian, it's good that you have this resolve. This time, the Zhang Family has offended our Nangong Family, and their demise is imminent. There's no need to consider other factors," a tall and straight White-robed Youth walked in.
This youth was precisely the Genius of the Nangong Family, Nangong Hai. He was also Nangong Jin's cousin.
After the Nangong Family failed to send elite assassins to obstruct and kill Zhang Hao, they investigated Zhang Hao's origins everywhere. They finally uncovered Zhang Hao's background. However, because Zhang Hao was in Tianwu Academy, the Nangong Family was temporarily unable to deal with him, and the inside agent, the Tianlong Alliance, was also destroyed by Zhang Hao. After being unable to deal with Zhang Hao, the Nangong Family turned to deal with Zhang Hao's Family to vent their anger. This time, Nangong Hai was the first wave of Nangong Family Disciples to come to Ninghai City.
Murong Jingtian's heart settled. Originally, he was still a bit hesitant, but seeing Nangong Hai's confident appearance, he felt even more reassured. How could Murong Jingtian not know the strength of the Nangong Family? Randomly sending out a Martial King could instantly annihilate the Murong Imperial Family. And within the Nangong Family, there were more than twenty Martial Kings. Moreover, in the Nangong Family, there was also a Murong Old Ancestor who was a Half-Step Martial Ancestor.
"Young Master Nangong, this Emperor has something unclear!" Murong Jingtian looked at Nangong Hai and asked.
Nangong Hai looked at Murong Jingtian and said, "Emperor, please ask."
"With Young Master Nangong's strength alone, you could destroy the Zhang Family, so why this time do you want to borrow our hands?" Murong Jingtian looked at Nangong Hai and asked with some curiosity.
Nangong Hai nodded and said, "Of course, with my strength, destroying the Zhang Family is as easy as turning my palm. However, our goal is not the Zhang Family, but Zhang Hao. This Young Master came to Ninghai City prepared to destroy the Zhang Family. But after arriving, This Young Master changed his mind. I plan to lure Zhang Hao out. Only then can we truly avenge ourselves."
Nangong Hai was a Half-Step Martial King, so he naturally had a certain degree of confidence in his ability to destroy the Zhang Family. Of course, he wouldn't say that he was waiting for the Family's Martial Kings to arrive. Without an overwhelming advantage, Nangong Hai wouldn't take risks. However, luring Zhang Hao back to the Zhang Family and then ambushing him was indeed an idea Nangong Hai came up with temporarily.
"Yesterday, our Nangong Family's vanguard went to raid the Zhang Family at night, but they all disappeared in the end. I suspect that kid Zhang Hao might have returned," Nangong Hai said lightly.
"Could it have been that old fellow Zhang Yaobang who did it?" Murong Old Ancestor asked.
Nangong Hai shook his head and said, "Impossible. Among the Family Disciples I sent, there were three Great Martial Masters. The Zhang Family only has one Great Martial Master, so it shouldn't be him."
Murong Old Ancestor nodded and said, "In that case, it is indeed possible that it was that kid Zhang Hao. Only he could have silently killed three Great Martial Masters. Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that the Zhang Family is hiding some experts. As a Family that has existed for hundreds of years, no one can deny whether they are hiding any trump cards."
Nangong Hai was deeply convinced. This was also why he hadn't personally made a move. A Family that has existed for hundreds of years is very likely to have one or two old monsters who have lived for hundreds of years. For example, someone like Murong Old Ancestor. Moreover, the Zhang Family was previously the head of the three major families. Its foundation was even no lower than that of the Murong Family.
Murong Jingtian muttered, "Strange, Xiang Batian has been gone for so long, why hasn't he returned to report? Could something have happened!"
Murong Old Ancestor smiled faintly and said, "It's alright. The Zhang Family is, after all, the foremost Family besides our Murong Family. It's naturally impossible for them to obediently surrender. If they dare to defy the imperial decree, it will only give us an excuse to destroy the Zhang Family."
Murong Old Ancestor still felt endless anger when he thought of the humiliation he suffered at the Li Family back then. This time, after breaking through to the Martial King realm, Murong Old Ancestor was prepared to reclaim it with interest.
Murong Jingtian glanced at Ancestor and smiled, "Hehe, Ancestor is still wise and mighty!"
Murong Old Ancestor nodded slightly and said, "Don't worry, but don't underestimate the Zhang Family either. That kid from the Zhang Family is currently at Tianwu Academy, and he is also a major hidden danger."
Murong Jingtian, however, said dismissively, "I admit that kid is a Genius, but a year ago, he was only a Great Martial Master. Now, at most, he's a Half-Step Martial King. As long as that kid isn't a Martial King, he's not worth mentioning in front of Ancestor and Young Master Nangong Hai."
Murong Old Ancestor smiled proudly and said, "That's right, everyone below the Martial King realm is just an ant!"
Suddenly, a commotion came from outside the Imperial Palace.
Murong Jingtian's expression darkened, and he shouted at the guards outside, "What's going on? Who is causing a ruckus outside?"
The Imperial Guards General Wang Xiao hurried in from outside. He knelt on one knee before Murong Jingtian and reported, "Reporting to the Emperor, Zhang Hao is forcing his way into the Imperial Palace and is about to break in!"
"Zhang Hao!" Murong Jingtian's expression changed.
Not only Murong Jingtian, but even Murong Old Ancestor felt his heart tremble slightly at this moment.
Murong Old Ancestor naturally wouldn't forget the scene a year ago when Zhang Hao caused blood to flow like a river in the Li Family. Even when he and the Li Family Old Ancestor joined forces, the Li Family Old Ancestor was still forcibly beheaded right in front of him. If not for Murong Jingtian pleading for him based on his relationship with Zi Qian, Murong Old Ancestor would likely have lost his life long ago.
"That hateful kid, does he think this is still the time for him to run wild?" Murong Old Ancestor said lightly, a trace of anger appearing on his face.
"Mobilize the Imperial Guards, surround that kid first, don't let him leave. This time, he came, but he won't be able to leave." Murong Jingtian slammed the table and stood up, emitting a chilling Aura.
As the Watt Country Imperial Palace, Zhang Hao's audacious intrusion meant he was ready to completely fall out with the Murong Family. Even for the sake of face, Murong Jingtian would not be polite to Zhang Hao this time.
"Yes!" Wang Xiao accepted the order and left.
Watt Country Imperial Palace, Zixiao Hall.
Zhang Hao watched as thousands of armored Imperial Guards surrounded him from all directions. Their steps were uniform, filled with Killing Intent. Cold long spears, massive steel shields, like a steel flood. The momentum was breathtaking.
"Clang!" Zhang Hao's Blood God Blade was unsheathed, a cold smile appearing on his face.
