"My brother, the identity of Young Master is more of an honor, so don't decline. Whether you are the Young Master or have another identity, you are still a Disciple of Hao Xian Sect. Hao Xian Sect will only be a bridge for your growth, not a restraint. You only need to remember your place of growth in the future when you become a dragon of the nine heavens," Guo Wei said sincerely to Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao heard this and his expression became solemn. He said to Guo Wei, "Supreme Elder, rest assured, no matter what the future holds, Hao Xian Sect will always be my home."
Guo Wei heard this, his expression brightened, and he smiled, "Good, it's good to hear you say that."
Ultimately, Zhang Hao still became the Young Master of Hao Xian Sect. This news also spread throughout the entire Hao Xian Sect, including the entire Northern Region.
Zhang Hao's name was known to everyone for a time.
Zhang Hao became the Young Master of Hao Xian Sect, and his status immediately rose significantly, far beyond what ordinary Inner Disciples could compare to. Because of this, he also moved into the Young Master's mansion within Hao Xian Sect.
This day,
Liu Jie, Shi Lei, Mo Qing, Chu Wei, Fu Qingchen, Murong Longcheng, Qi Zhao, Liu Mengyao, and Nian Dashan all gathered at Zhang Hao's Young Master's mansion to celebrate.
"Zhang Hao, I, Liu Jie, have always been unconvinced of others, but at this moment, I am truly convinced of you. You see, we entered Hao Xian Sect together. We even got into the Outer Sect Disciples through your connections. But it's one thing for you to enter the Inner Sect, and now you've suddenly become the Young Master of Hao Xian Sect. Don't you think you're so monstrous that you have no friends?" Liu Jie laughed loudly.
Although Liu Jie's words contained some joking elements, what he said was also the truth. Zhang Hao was indeed too monstrous. He was so monstrous that being his friend would put a lot of pressure on others.
"Why are you thinking so much? No matter what Zhang Hao's status is in the future, he will ultimately be our friend. What's more, he is now the Young Master of Hao Xian Sect. As his friends, won't our status in Hao Xian Sect also rise?" Chu Wei laughed loudly.
"Haha, you're right. I, Liu Jie, was indeed overthinking it. I'll punish myself with three cups of wine," Liu Jie laughed loudly.
After three rounds of drinks, the banquet ended.
Liu Jie, Mo Qing, Chu Wei, and others also left. This banquet could be considered a pleasant gathering. Although Zhang Hao and Liu Jie and the others had a great time talking, Zhang Hao could still keenly feel that there seemed to be some distance between them. Zhang Hao was actually quite helpless. Perhaps this was a side effect of growth! The relationships between people change over time.
"You haven't left yet?"
Zhang Hao saw a young man standing in front of him, built like an iron tower with dark skin. It was Nian Dashan.
"Boss," Nian Dashan looked at Zhang Hao.
"Haha, Brother Nian, I was just joking before. You don't need to take it seriously," Zhang Hao gently patted Nian Dashan's shoulder and smiled at him.
"No! Boss, before, I, Nian Dashan, was still quite unconvinced, and I, Nian Dashan, have an arrogant nature and couldn't put down my pride. But afterwards, during the Outer Gate Competition, Boss, you emerged like a meteor with your peerless demeanor, sweeping aside many geniuses and becoming the first in the Outer Gate Competition. I, Nian Dashan, was completely convinced of you. Although Nian Dashan knows that he is no longer worthy of being your little brother, in Nian Dashan's heart, you are forever the Boss."
After speaking, Nian Dashan took a deep look at Zhang Hao, turned around, and was about to leave.
"Wait!" Zhang Hao called out to Nian Dashan.
Nian Dashan turned around and looked at Zhang Hao with some surprise.
Zhang Hao quickly walked up to Nian Dashan, looked at him, and said with a smile, "Heh heh, do you still want to be my little brother now?"
Nian Dashan looked at Zhang Hao with some surprise, his voice slightly trembling as he said, "Boss, are you still willing to have me?"
"Haha, ever since you dared to step forward and help me confront Cao Yang, at that moment, you became my, Zhang Hao's, brother," Zhang Hao patted Nian Dashan's shoulder and said with a smile.
"Okay, Boss," Nian Dashan said excitedly.
From then on, Nian Dashan was added to Zhang Hao's circle of brothers.
In this battle against the Heavenly Demon Sect, Zhang Hao actually gained a lot. This battle tested the power of Sky Fire and the Ice Arrow Technique.
Since it was about killing monsters to level up, Zhang Hao naturally couldn't improve his cultivation strength at this moment. He could only improve in other areas, such as the power of Intent. Previously, Zhang Hao had obtained six extinction stones. Now was the time to use them.
"Ding dong! Found extinction stones. Do you want to use them?" The System's prompt sounded.
"Use!" Zhang Hao silently said.
The next second, Zhang Hao once again arrived in a gray, misty Different Space. This place was filled with the power of Oblivion. He knew this was inside the extinction stone.
Zhang Hao's heart trembled, and he immediately sat down cross-legged. He began to comprehend this power of Oblivion.
Unconsciously, Zhang Hao used up all six extinction stones. Although he hadn't fully comprehended the Intent of Oblivion, he felt that he was close to comprehending the Prototype of the Intent of Oblivion, which was just around the corner. If he comprehended the Intent of Oblivion, Zhang Hao would have mastered his first Intent power.
At the same time, two events that shook the entire Northern Region were circulating in the Northern Region of the True Martial Continent.
Xiao Long, the top young expert in the Northern Region, broke through to the Martial Emperor realm.
This was truly a major event. Xiao Long was only twenty-one years old, yet he had already broken through to the Martial Emperor realm. This had already broken the record for the youngest Martial Emperor in the Northern Region. One should know that even Wu Xiao, the former top expert in the Northern Region, with his heaven-sent talent, only broke through to the Martial Emperor realm at the age of twenty-five. Therefore, Xiao Long breaking through to the Martial Emperor realm at the age of twenty-one was considered shocking to the world.
The second major event was also related to Xiao Long. After breaking through to the Martial Emperor realm, Xiao Long personally proposed marriage to Superior Xueqing of the Heaven Sword Sect. The wedding date was set for half a year later and would be held at the Ziyang Sect.
These two major events instantly spread throughout the entire Northern Region like a storm, becoming almost household knowledge. After all, the protagonists were the top Genius of the Northern Region and the top beauty of the Northern Region.
Hao Xian Sect, Young Master's Mansion
After hearing the news, Zhang Hao locked himself in his room for three days and didn't come out.
Song Sitian and Liu Mengyao were waiting outside, very worried.
"Sitian, you've been with Zhang Hao for so long. Do you know what kind of relationship Zhang Hao has with Murong Ziqian?" Liu Mengyao asked Song Sitian.
Song Sitian nodded to Liu Mengyao and said, "I heard the Young Master say that Murong Ziqian is his childhood sweetheart. They had a very good relationship before! It's just that later, one went to the Heaven Sword Sect and the other went to Tianwu Academy. That's why they separated."
"Childhood sweethearts, it seems your Young Master and Murong Ziqian have a really good relationship. Now that Murong Ziqian is about to marry someone else, it's understandable for him to be sad," Liu Mengyao sighed.
