Cao Jun raised his eyebrow, then smiled and said, "Don't worry, this won't happen again."
"Oh, listening to the Sect Leader, this matter has been settled. What is the truth of the matter?" Zhang Hao looked at Cao Jun and asked.
"It was all just a misunderstanding." Cao Jun chuckled.
Zhang Hao was instantly enraged. It seemed Cao Jun was determined to cover for Cao Yang to the end. Although Zhang Hao didn't know why Cao Jun's attitude had softened, he knew there must be something fishy going on. Therefore, he couldn't leave this place at this moment. How could he not take advantage of this opportunity to set some conditions?
"Then Sect Leader, please leave! This junior believes the Law Enforcement Hall will definitely give him a fair judgment." Zhang Hao said firmly.
Cao Jun was immediately choked with anger. To think that he, a dignified Sect Leader, personally came to apologize to an Inner Disciple of the Sect, and the other person still didn't give him Face. This was simply driving him crazy.
"Then think about it some more!"
Cao Jun snorted coldly and flicked his sleeve, walking away.
Half an hour later, Tu Zhan and Wen Guangyuan arrived together. However, before them was an Old Man with crane hair and wrinkled skin. It was precisely the Old man Zhang Hao had seen laying down the Big Dipper Seven Stars Array on the back mountain last time.
"Old man, it's you! How did you come with our Hao Xian Sect's Sect Leader and Elder?" Zhang Hao looked at the Old man with some apprehension.
Tu Zhan and Cao Jun's expressions twitched. In the entire Northern Region, daring to call Hao Xian Sect's Great Elder Guo Wei an Old man to his Face, perhaps this guy in front of them was the only one!
Even Tu Zhan was so scared his breathing almost stopped.
"Hahaha, little friend, long time no see! Your two teachers and I are friends. I heard you were here, so I came to see you."
Guo Wei didn't mind Zhang Hao's unique way of addressing him.
"Hmm, how is your Big Dipper Seven Stars Array coming along? Honestly, last time, your Big Dipper Seven Stars Array was really terrible! Sigh, if I were your Master, you would have definitely made me vomit blood from anger." Zhang Hao said casually.
Although Zhang Hao knew this Old man's martial arts cultivation was unfathomable, he also saw that he was open-minded and not a petty person. If you are too serious with such people, they will look down on you instead.
"Hehe, that time it was thanks to little friend who took action and solved a big problem for this old man!" Guo Wei said with a slight hint of awkwardness.
"Hmm, Old man, you came here with my two teachers, you're not really just here to see me, are you?" Zhang Hao asked the Old man with a half-smile.
Guo Wei nodded, looked at Zhang Hao, squinted, and smiled, saying, "This old man currently has something about Array Dao that he would like to ask young brother about?"
"Oh, ask away!"
Although Zhang Hao didn't know the purpose of the three coming together, he still had a relatively good impression of this Old man. Therefore, he said casually.
"What do you think of our Hao Xian Sect's mountain-protecting array?" Guo Wei looked at Zhang Hao somewhat nervously and asked.
Zhang Hao glanced at Guo Wei, thought for a moment, and said, "If you must have me say it, it's full of flaws. This Hao Xian Sect's mountain-protecting array should have existed for over a thousand years now! During this time, this mountain-protecting array should have been used many times. However, because there weren't Array Dao Masters with sufficient strength to repair this mountain-protecting array, after so many years, this mountain-protecting array is already dilapidated and its power is less than even the first layer of its original strength."
Tu Zhan and Cao Jun's expressions twitched. They were high-ranking members of the Hao Xian Sect and naturally very familiar with the Hao Xian Sect's mountain-protecting array. But hearing Zhang Hao elaborate on it now, as if listing off family treasures, undoubtedly made them believe that Zhang Hao indeed had the ability to repair the mountain-protecting array.
"Then little friend, can you repair this mountain-protecting array?" Guo Wei carefully asked Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao nodded and said, "I can, but it will require some cost."
"Can little friend really repair the Hao Xian Sect's mountain-protecting array?"
Guo Wei's expression was very excited.
It wasn't just Guo Wei. Even Tu Zhan and Cao Jun showed a hint of joy on their Faces. It was no wonder the two were so excited. The Hao Xian Sect's mountain-protecting array had always been a worry for them. After all, a mountain-protecting array was equivalent to a Sect's lifeline. Without the protection of the mountain-protecting array, the Sect was constantly in danger of collapsing.
"Isn't it just an eighth-tier array? If this Young Master is willing, he can still repair it."
Zhang Hao had been observing the expressions of Cao Jun and Tu Zhan just now. At this moment, he finally understood the reason why Cao Jun's attitude towards him had changed drastically. It seemed it was because of this mountain-protecting array. Perhaps it was this mysterious Old man who had told Cao Jun the news that he was an Array Dao Master, which was why Cao Jun was eagerly seeking Zhang Hao's help. This led to the scene where he softened his stance earlier.
"little friend, this old man will take his leave. Next time, I'll find little friend again to spar in Array Dao." Guo Wei looked at Zhang Hao and said with a smile.
Zhang Hao, however, said casually to Guo Wei, "Old man, if you want to spar with me, you're not qualified yet! You still need to go back and improve."
Guo Wei gave an awkward smile. He said, "Yes, yes, this old man will go back and diligently study for a bit, striving for greater progress when I see young brother next time."
"Hahaha, I hope so." Zhang Hao laughed.
After Guo Wei, Cao Jun, and Tu Zhan left Zhang Hao's room, Guo Wei said in a deep voice to Cao Jun and Tu Zhan, "This Esteemed One thinks that this young brother should be able to repair our Hao Xian Sect's mountain-protecting array. No matter what conditions he has, you must try your best to satisfy them, understand?"
Guo Wei's voice was incredibly majestic.
"Yes, Supreme Elder."
Tu Zhan and Cao Jun immediately nodded.
Inside the room, Zhang Hao was constantly pondering the matter of Cao Jun, Tu Zhan, and Guo Wei coming earlier. In his opinion, the three of them might have come this time for the mountain-protecting array.
As for Zhang Hao's current Array Dao strength, repairing this mountain-protecting array was still beyond his capabilities. After all, Zhang Hao was only a seventh-tier Array Dao Master. Of course, he would be sufficient as long as he upgraded one more tier. However, for a seventh-tier Array Dao Master to advance to the eighth tier, Zhang Hao would have to purchase a high-grade Skill Pill in the System store. That would cost him another 100,000 points. So, Zhang Hao saying he needed to spend a considerable price was not wrong.
Zhang Hao muttered to himself, "If my guess is correct, Tu Zhan and Cao Jun should be coming to find me soon."
Just as Zhang Hao's thought fell.
Cao Jun and Tu Zhan walked in together from outside.
"Zhang Hao, what will it take for you to be willing to leave this place? The facts have been investigated clearly. You were merely acting in self-defense, you are not at fault. There's no need to stay here anymore." Tu Zhan looked at Zhang Hao and said seriously.
Zhang Hao smiled faintly and said, "Since I am not at fault, then someone else is at fault. I hope he can be brought to justice."
"That's not a problem. The several Law Enforcement Hall Disciples who indiscriminately arrested you here have all been dismissed and expelled to the Outer Sect." Tu Zhan looked at Zhang Hao and said seriously.
