Ye Qingfeng was so frightened that his hair stood on end. Even the Bai Family's Ancestor, a formidable Martial Grandmaster, was easily slain by Zhang Hao, let alone himself whose strength was weaker than Bai Zhanfeng's.
"Let me go, let me go! It's my fault, it's my fault."
Ye Qingfeng fell to his knees with a 'thump!'. He cried and begged Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao was speechless. A dignified Ye Family Head actually behaved like this. With a Family Head like this, the Ye Family wouldn't become strong even if he managed it for a hundred years. No wonder, according to Ye Zitong's description, the Ye Family was going from bad to worse.
"Do you think I will spare you? Just like what you did to Zitong. Killing you is not excessive," Zhang Hao said coldly to Ye Qingfeng.
"Zitong, please plead for your uncle! Ask him not to kill your uncle," Ye Qingfeng said to Ye Zitong beside him.
Ye Zitong also felt a little unbearable and said to Zhang Hao, "Zhang Hao. Anyway, I'm leaving this place, so just let my uncle go. No matter how wrong he is, he is still my uncle."
Zhang Hao sighed inwardly. This Ye Zitong was still too soft-hearted. However, just as she said, Ye Zitong would be leaving the Western Ridge Kingdom with him anyway. The Ye Family's matters would have nothing to do with her.
"Get lost!"
Zhang Hao shouted at Ye Qingfeng.
When Ye Qingfeng saw that Zhang Hao agreed to let him go, he was immediately as if granted a great amnesty.
Looking at the somewhat unhappy Ye Zitong, Zhang Hao said to her seriously, "Zitong, you have to learn to let go. A better life is waiting for you. You still have a long way to go!"
"Okay!"
Ye Zitong looked at Zhang Hao, a hint of joy appearing on her face.
Zhang Hao put Ye Zitong back into the Divine Abode. Then he entered the Endless Mountain Range again, passed through the three checkpoints, and left the Western Ridge Kingdom.
As soon as he left the Western Ridge Kingdom, Zhang Hao was ready to start upgrading the System. After all, upgrading the System was the top priority.
"Ding dong! Player Zhang Hao, do you want to start upgrading the System?" The System's prompt sounded.
"Upgrade!" Zhang Hao silently said.
"Ding dong! System upgrade has started. This upgrade will take three days. To protect the Player's safety, the safety mode will be activated during this upgrade!" The System's prompt sounded.
Safety mode?
Zhang Hao was immediately delighted and thought to himself, 'This System is really becoming more and more user-friendly. I've never heard of a safety mode before, but now there's even a safety mode.'
Zhang Hao released Ye Zitong from the Divine Abode.
"Is this the outside world?" Ye Zitong looked at the void, which was no longer as hazy as in the Western Ridge Kingdom, with a sun in the void. Her heart was very moved.
Zhang Hao nodded slightly and said, "That's right, this is the outside world."
"Thank you so much, Zhang Hao!"
In her excitement, Ye Zitong hugged Zhang Hao tightly and kissed him on the cheek.
Seeing Zhang Hao's somewhat startled gaze, Ye Zitong said with a little shyness, "Don't misunderstand, I was just too excited."
"Cough, cough, cough... I didn't misunderstand. Don't worry, I've forgotten everything," Zhang Hao chuckled dryly.
Suddenly, Zhang Hao thought of something and looked at Ye Zitong, asking, "Zitong, what are your plans now? You came to the outside world, do you have any plans?"
Ye Zitong looked at Zhang Hao with some confusion, shook her head, and said, "I don't know either."
In fact, Ye Zitong just wanted to go to the outside world, but after truly arriving in the outside world, she didn't know where she should go. After all, in the outside world, she was like a rootless duckweed.
Zhang Hao also felt a lot of sympathy for Ye Zitong. After thinking for a moment, he said to her, "How about this? I'll send you to Tianwu Academy. You are now a Great Martial Master, which is suitable for entering the College to study. At that time, you will also meet many companions."
Ye Zitong was immediately overjoyed and looked at Zhang Hao, saying, "Thank you, Zhang Hao."
Suddenly, Zhang Hao's expression changed. He felt a very terrifying aura enveloping him. He couldn't find the source for a moment, so he immediately took Ye Zitong back into the Divine Abode. He looked up at the sky. In the air, a huge crack tore open in the void. A middle-aged Martial Warrior holding a long blade appeared directly above him.
"Such terrifying power!"
Zhang Hao felt a chill run down his spine from the gaze of the middle-aged Martial Warrior.
"Could it be a Martial Venerable?"
Zhang Hao himself was a Martial Emperor. Only a Martial Warrior above the Martial Venerable level could make him tremble with just a look.
"Who are you?"
Zhang Hao looked at the Martial Warrior.
"Heh heh heh, you killed Fan'er, this Venerable has specially come to send you to Hell."
That Martial Venerable slashed down with a blade.
Zhang Hao felt a force like Mount Tai pressing down, descending from the void.
Is this a mid-level Martial Venerable?
Zhang Hao was restrained by the Martial Venerable's powerful force and couldn't move at all. After all, he was only at the sixth level of Martial Emperor, and the gap between him and a mid-level Martial Venerable was too large.
"Ding dong! Sensing that the Player has encountered danger, the System safety mode is activated!"
"Boom!"
Immediately after, the Martial Venerable's blade landed on Zhang Hao. However, this blade of the Martial Venerable seemed to have struck the void and then disappeared.
"What's going on? How is this possible?" That Martial Venerable was immediately dumbfounded.
Seeing this, Zhang Hao was overjoyed. This System's safety mode is awesome! He looked at the Martial Venerable and said, "Come on! Come on! Is your attack too weak? This Young Master doesn't feel anything at all!"
"Damn it!"
That Martial Venerable was even more enraged by Zhang Hao's taunt. He unleashed dozens more slashes, enveloping Zhang Hao. The layers of blade shadows seemed to shatter the entire void.
However, these blade shadows landing on Zhang Hao were as if they were striking nothingness. All the power disappeared without a trace.
"How is this possible, how is this possible?" That Martial Venerable felt extremely shocked.
Zhang Hao felt as if he and the other party were in two different spaces and times.
"Just taking hits and not fighting back is not this Young Master's style," Zhang Hao muttered to himself.
Shape Shifting!
Zhang Hao used Shape Shifting and appeared behind the Martial Venerable. He slashed down with the Blood God Blade.
"Hundred Blade Slash!"
After unleashing a series of blade waves, Zhang Hao used the most powerful slash he could currently use.
"Hundred Blade Slash, fortieth slash!"
This slash tore through the void. It seemed to tear the entire void apart. This world-destroying slash, like a great mountain, struck down towards the Martial Venerable.
The middle-aged Martial Venerable had not expected this mere ant to suddenly attack, and with such a bizarre movement technique. Caught off guard, he couldn't dodge Zhang Hao's slash at all.
With a "boom!" sound,
Zhang Hao's slash struck the middle-aged Martial Venerable hard.
