After killing the Heavenly Demon Sect General. Zhang Hao returned to the Zhang Family and immediately went to his Grandpa's side. Seeing his Grandpa's pale face, he quickly asked him, "Grandpa, how are you?"
Zhang Yaobang shook his head at Zhang Hao and smiled, "Don't worry, Zhang Hao, you came back just in time. Grandpa is fine."
Zhang Hao quickly took out a Dan and said to his Grandpa, "Grandpa, please take this Dan."
Zhang Yaobang naturally had no reservations about the Dan Zhang Hao gave him. He immediately took the Dan and then sat cross-legged to meditate.
Then, Zhang Hao walked towards Gao Xinyu, Ning Xue, Dou Bi, and the others and asked with concern, "How are you? Are you alright?"
Zhang Jianfeng looked at Zhang Hao and smiled, "Boss, you came back just in time. If you had been any later, you would really have had to collect our corpses."
Zhang Hao slapped Zhang Jianfeng's head and cursed with a laugh, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
"Boss, I haven't seen you in so long, I've missed you terribly."
Jin Bao opened his arms, ready to give Zhang Hao a bear hug. But Zhang Hao dodged it. Seeing Jin Bao's injured expression, Zhang Hao rolled his eyes at him and said, "You're so big, I can't handle it. If you hugged me like that, I think my waist would break."
After joking around with Zhang Hao for a while, Zhang Jianfeng, Dou Bi, Jin Bao, Ying Da, and the others consciously slipped away, leaving the time for the girls behind.
"Ning Xue, are you all doing well?"
Zhang Hao thought he understood women, but at this moment, he found himself a bit tongue-tied.
"Hmph, what do you think? For you, we sisters rushed to the Zhang Family risking our lives. This time, we almost left our lives here. Tell me, how are you going to compensate us?" Ning Xue glanced at Zhang Hao and coldly snorted.
"How do the lady heroes wish for this humble one to repay you? Even if you want this humble one to offer himself, it's no problem." Zhang Hao quickly reverted to his usual playful smile.
The girls immediately blushed at Zhang Hao's teasing. They all spat, "The horse doesn't know its face is long. Who wants your virgin body?"
Although Ning Xue, Yun Qiuyu, and the other girls knew their time together wouldn't be long, they were still very happy to be reunited with Zhang Hao at this moment.
This time, because Zhang Hao returned in time, the Zhang Family's losses were not significant. However, it also served as a reminder to Zhang Hao. The Heavenly Demon Sect set its sights on his Family. It's not impossible that the Ten Great Sects would do the same.
Now, Zhang Hao had essentially offended all the strongest forces in the Northern Region. In half a year, Zhang Hao was planning to go to the Ziyang Sect to snatch his bride, so he had to eliminate any worries beforehand.
That night, Zhang Hao found his Grandpa Zhang Yaobang.
After healing with Zhang Hao's Dan, Zhang Yaobang's injuries were also eighty percent better.
"Zhang Hao, is something wrong?"
Zhang Yaobang was also a sharp person. Naturally, he saw that his grandson coming so late must mean something was up.
"Grandpa, for this matter, your grandson needs your help." Zhang Hao looked at Zhang Yaobang with a very solemn expression.
Zhang Yaobang smiled at Zhang Hao, "You kid, still being so polite with Grandpa. Tell me, what is it? As long as Grandpa can do it, I won't hesitate even if it costs this old life."
"Grandpa, the Heavenly Demon Sect came to Ninghai City to deal with the Zhang Family this time entirely because of your grandson. Although your grandson could turn this danger into safety for the Family, your grandson cannot guarantee that other forces won't target the Family." Zhang Hao said seriously.
Zhang Yaobang furrowed his brows, looked at Zhang Hao, and asked, "Zhang Hao, just tell me what thoughts you have!"
"Grandpa, your child hopes that the Family's disciples can follow your child to a place. The spiritual energy there is ten times richer than outside. Cultivating there will yield twice the results with half the effort, won't affect the Family, and can also avoid danger." Zhang Hao explained to Zhang Yaobang.
Zhang Yaobang roughly understood Zhang Hao's meaning. Looking at him, he asked, "Zhang Hao, do you mean to have all the Zhang Family disciples hide?"
Zhang Hao nodded and said, "Yes, Grandpa, this is only temporary. After your grandson settles the matters in the Northern Region, the Zhang Family will naturally be able to see the light of day again."
Zhang Yaobang nodded and said, "Zhang Hao, Grandpa understands what you mean. However, where is this place you speak of?"
Zhang Hao smiled mysteriously and held up a golden, palm-sized Treasure Artifact that looked like a city.
This was precisely the Saint artifact Divine Abode that Zhang Hao obtained after killing Elder Ming Xie at Tianwu Academy.
The Divine Abode comes with its own space. It can accommodate a hundred thousand people. Moreover, the world's Origin Energy inside is extremely abundant. There are houses, buildings, everything. If he took the Zhang Family members inside and carried it with him, Zhang Hao would be much more at ease.
"This... this can accommodate the Zhang Family members?" Zhang Yaobang looked at the Treasure Artifact in Zhang Hao's hand in surprise.
Zhang Hao smiled slightly, "Grandpa, this is a Saint artifact. It has its own space inside, and living there is very convenient. Of course, if you can endure the solitude."
Zhang Yaobang felt a bit shocked; his horizons were not very broad after all. But based on his trust in Zhang Hao, he still nodded and said, "Zhang Hao, Grandpa knows you won't harm the Zhang Family. Grandpa will make the decision to have all the Zhang Family disciples enter your Divine Abode."
Zhang Hao was overjoyed. As long as he had his Grandpa's support, everything else should go very smoothly.
One day later, Zhang Yaobang gathered some of the Family's main disciples. There were also some Elders and Deacons. These were the core strength of the Zhang Family, about eight hundred people in total, all sent into Zhang Hao's Divine Abode. Of course, the Zhang Family had more than just these people; these were just the most core strength of the Zhang Family. Zhang Hao left behind some other disciples who managed the Family's business.
Zhang Hao believed that the people from the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Ten Great Sects shouldn't be bored enough to trouble these people. Among the major forces, Martial Warriors who manage Family businesses are often those who are not highly regarded within the Family.
After Zhang Hao settled the Family members, he looked at Dou Bi, Ning Xue, Gao Xinyu, Yun Qiuyu, and the others and asked, "Are you really not going to Cultivate inside my Divine Abode? That way, I can also take care of you?"
Dou Bi looked at Zhang Hao and said seriously, "Boss, we want to walk our own path. Although being inside your Saint artifact can make us more comfortable, it will never allow us to grow. As your little brothers, we hope to be able to catch up to your steps. Therefore, we don't want comfort; we want battle, to grow in battle. Only then will we be qualified to be your little brothers, Boss."
Ning Xue also looked at Zhang Hao and said, "Zhang Hao, Qiu Yu and Xin Yu's meaning is the same as mine. We want to walk our own path."
"Alright then, I won't force you. I hope next time we meet, we won't be separated again."
Zhang Hao looked at everyone's determined expressions and said.
