However, Zhang Hao could still clearly feel that the Da Di Xi Rang (Earth Breath Soil) had lost most of its divinity. Even if it could be used, it wouldn't be for long.
He would go back and see what method the System provided for repair. Although the System was full of quirks, as long as it said there was a way, it wouldn't be wrong.
After Zhang Hao finished settling, his spirit stones were almost depleted. Including the spirit stones earned from selling the dragon tiger pill before, they were all used up again.
"Let's go!" Zhang Hao said to Liu Jie and the others.
"Zhang Hao, you really are a spendthrift! Although this lump of soil can ripen medicinal herbs, it doesn't seem to have much effect on you?" Liu Jie looked at Zhang Hao and asked, somewhat puzzled.
Zhang Hao smiled slightly and said, "You can't be sure. For those who need it, this Da Di Xi Rang (Earth Breath Soil) is a good thing."
Liu Jie, Mo Qing, and the others shook their heads. Since Zhang Hao said so, he must have his reasons.
This time at the auction house, Zhang Hao was the biggest patron. The Deacon of the auction house personally escorted Zhang Hao out. At this moment, the Deacon's attitude was much more respectful than before. After all, no one would dislike such a patron.
"Zhang Hao, Young Master, come visit more often when you have time!" The Deacon said with a warm smile.
At the same time, in a corner of Haoxian City
Standing before Wen Tailai was an Old Man with white hair and wrinkled skin. This Old Man was precisely Elder Hanbing (Cold Ice) who had appeared at the auction house earlier.
"Is what you're saying true? Do you know who the person who snatched the beast king fruit from this Old Man is?" Elder Hanbing (Cold Ice) looked at Wen Tailai with icy eyes.
"Of course, This Young Master has no need to deceive you. He is an Outer Sect Disciple of our Hao Xian Sect, named Zhang Hao." Wen Tailai said lightly.
"Why are you telling me this? It seems you are also from the Hao Xian Sect?" Elder Hanbing (Cold Ice) wasn't that foolish and immediately asked the crucial question.
Wen Tailai said lightly, "That's right, he is an Outer Sect Disciple of the Hao Xian Sect, but he has a deep hatred with This Young Master. Just now at the auction house, he opposed This Young Master, as you saw."
Elder Hanbing (Cold Ice) nodded slightly. This was something he had seen with his own eyes.
However, Elder Hanbing (Cold Ice) still had doubts. He looked at Wen Tailai and asked, "Wen Gongzi, there are few people who can get a private room in a place like this. Even your Father doesn't seem qualified. You're telling me that a mere Outer Sect Disciple of the Hao Xian Sect can enter? Isn't that contradictory?"
A trace of confusion also appeared on Wen Tailai's face. He nodded and said, "This Young Master also feels a bit confused about what you said. However, this person must have used some other means to enter. But this doesn't change the fact that he is just an Outer Sect Disciple of the Hao Xian Sect. Even if you kill him, as long as you do it cleanly, no one will suspect you."
Elder Hanbing (Cold Ice) had been around the True Martial Continent for so long, so he naturally wouldn't be easily fooled by Wen Tailai. He looked at Wen Tailai coldly and said, "Since that's the case, why don't you do it yourself?"
Wen Tailai cursed inwardly: This Old Man is actually so cautious.
However, Wen Tailai also knew that with Elder Hanbing (Cold Ice)'s shrewdness, he probably wouldn't be able to fool him easily.
"To tell you the truth, this person belongs to the Inner Sect Great Elder of our Sect. This Young Master has already been warned by the Inner Sect Great Elder. If I make a move, no matter how cleanly it's done, I will be found out."
In order to dispel Elder Hanbing (Cold Ice)'s doubts, Wen Tailai had to tell the truth.
Elder Hanbing (Cold Ice) said lightly to Wen Tailai, "You have a good plan indeed. Let me act on your behalf, bear the risk, and then you don't need to do anything."
Wen Tailai knew that Elder Hanbing (Cold Ice) wouldn't act without seeing results. So he said, "Actually, this matter is also very beneficial for Senior. As long as you kill him, the treasures on his body will belong to Senior. For example, the beast king fruit, Da Di Xi Rang (Earth Breath Soil), and Star Grass, these are rare treasures!"
Elder Hanbing (Cold Ice) immediately fell silent. That's right, although killing someone carried some risk, the gains were considerable!
"Very well, it's no problem for this Old Man to act, but these gains will belong solely to this Old Man." Elder Hanbing (Cold Ice) said without a doubt.
Wen Tailai cursed inwardly: However, the other party was a Mid-level Martial Grandmaster, much stronger than him. Wen Tailai naturally couldn't object.
"That's fine, but I hope Senior can leave him alive when the time comes, and hand him over to This Young Master to deal with personally." Wen Tailai looked at the Old Man and said.
The Old Man naturally wouldn't doubt whether he could deal with a Martial Warrior in the Martial King Realm. So he nodded and said, "That's no problem..."
Zhang Hao and the others were currently on their way back to the Hao Xian Sect. Although Haoxian City was just outside the Hao Xian Sect's mountain gate, they still needed to cross a plain. It would take about an hour.
Suddenly, Zhang Hao's expression changed, and he shouted, "Everyone, stop!"
"What's wrong, Zhang Hao?" Liu Jie looked at Zhang Hao's abnormal expression and quickly asked.
Zhang Hao narrowed his eyes and said seriously to Liu Jie, "Something's wrong, there's a Killing Intent!"
Liu Jie, Mo Qing, and the others were all secretly startled. However, they knew that Zhang Hao's strength at this moment was far above theirs. They had no doubts.
Zhang Hao's expression was extremely solemn, knowing that this person was coming for him. Moreover, their strength was very high, far above his. It could be a Martial Grandmaster, or even a Mid-level Martial Grandmaster.
Zhang Hao's teleportation ring's coordinates were set upon arriving at the Hao Xian Sect, so he could be instantly teleported back to his residence in the Sect. But the problem was, he would return to the Hao Xian Sect. What about Liu Jie, Mo Qing, and the others? If he left, that person would likely vent their anger on them. Moreover, with Zhang Hao's temper, he didn't like running away without even seeing the person.
Therefore, what Zhang Hao could do at this moment was to lure the person away.
"Liu Jie, Sister Mo, you go first!" Zhang Hao's expression was extremely solemn.
Liu Jie, Chu Wei, Shi Lei, and the others looked at each other, their expressions slightly changing.
"Zhang Hao, are you planning to be the rear guard alone?" Liu Jie looked at Zhang Hao and asked.
Zhang Hao shook his head and said, "No, I will lure the person away. This person is coming for me."
"Zhang Hao, how can we let you face the enemy alone? By doing this, what do you take us for?" Chu Wei looked at Zhang Hao somewhat angrily.
Shi Lei also looked at Zhang Hao with an unfriendly expression, waiting for his explanation.
Zhang Hao looked at Chu Wei and said solemnly, "I'm not trying to sacrifice myself. It's just that this person is too strong and is coming for me. If we stay together, none of us will be able to escape. If you leave, I still have some confidence in escaping."
Liu Jie and the others looked dejected, knowing that although Zhang Hao's words were indirect, the meaning conveyed was that he considered them a burden. Although they were unwilling to admit it, this was indeed the truth.
