"Zhang Hao, when I'm with you, all geniuses turn into mediocrities. From now on, I'd better see less of you, otherwise I'll be constantly discouraged," Murong Fei sighed.
Murong Longcheng deeply agreed.
Zhang Hao chuckled, "Because I am the true Genius."
"Tch, talk about being full of yourself," Murong Fei grumbled.
Zhang Hao's gaze swept over a few people, then he asked, "Your injuries aren't serious, are they?"
Murong Fei shook his head, "It's okay. That bastard Wang Shijun didn't hit too hard to torture me, so my injuries look serious, but they're actually not bad."
Zhang Hao's gaze then swept over Ye Qingrou and Murong Xian'er. Both women nodded, indicating that there were no major problems.
"How are the people from the Li Family and the Wang Family? Did they cause you any trouble?" Zhang Hao looked at Murong Fei and asked.
Murong Fei said disdainfully, "Hmph, they wouldn't have had the chance."
Murong Longcheng smiled at Zhang Hao and said, "Zhang Hao, the two families were already greatly weakened. When Wang Shijun used his Demonic Technique just now, the people from the Wang Family and Li Family were the closest, and they were all sucked dry into mummies. Except for a few people from minor families, only our two families are left in the Mist Sea Secret Realm this time. Isn't that satisfying?"
Zhang Hao nodded slightly and smiled, "So, it seems those two families this time probably tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice."
"Hahaha, Zhang Hao, your analogy isn't quite right. This isn't just losing rice; they're likely severely injured," Murong Fei burst out laughing.
Zhang Hao also nodded, "That's right. Those who entered the Mist Sea Secret Realm this time were the elites of the elites from both families, all geniuses cultivating in Colleges across the land. Now, they've all been lost here. The Wang Family and Li Family are probably going to go crazy."
Murong Longcheng suddenly said, "Don't laugh too happily yet. This time, the two families suffered such great losses. They will likely put the blame on the Zhang Family. I'm afraid that as soon as we leave the Mist Sea Secret Realm this time, Zhang Hao will be in great trouble."
Upon hearing this, Murong Fei frowned and said, "Zhang Hao, don't worry, we will definitely stand by you."
"Exactly, if they dare to trouble Brother-in-law, Xian'er won't agree either," Murong Xian'er added.
Zhang Hao said calmly, "Crown Prince, Brother Longcheng, I appreciate your kindness. However, I'll handle this matter myself! It's fine if they don't come looking for trouble. If they dare, I will let them know what despair is."
As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying Killing Intent erupted from Zhang Hao.
Murong Fei and Murong Longcheng exchanged glances, a trace of worry flashing across their faces.
Zhang Hao's strength in being able to defeat Wang Shijun, a Grand Martial Master Ninth Heaven, was beyond doubt. Moreover, Wang Shijun was not an ordinary Grand Martial Master Ninth Heaven. Although they didn't know how Zhang Hao killed Wang Shijun, they could imagine that Zhang Hao must have some trump card. This time, if the Wang Family and Li Family really dared to make a move, they would definitely hit a steel plate.
"Alright, let's go! The Mist Sea Secret Realm should be opening today. It's time for us to leave," Zhang Hao said, looking at the sky.
At the same time, outside the Mist Sea Secret Realm.
The Royal Family Murong Family, Li Family, Zhang Family, and Wang Family were present. Except for the Royal Family, which only sent one Great Martial Master Martial Warrior as a representative, the leaders of the other three major families had all arrived.
The Zhang Family's Supreme Elder Zhang Yaobang, the Li Family's Family Head Li Yuanting, and several Supreme Elders who were Great Martial Masters all appeared. The Wang Family was similar to the Li Family.
Zhang Yaobang frowned deeply. The Li Family and Wang Family had almost come out in full force. For some reason, he felt that the Mist Sea Secret Realm trial this time would have great twists and turns. Otherwise, the two families wouldn't have mobilized such a large force.
"Heh heh, Elder Zhang, tell me, which Family will take first place in the Mist Sea Secret Realm trial this time?" Li Yuanting looked at Zhang Yaobang with a smile.
Today, Li Yuanting was very pleased with himself. He had just broken through to Great Martial Master, greatly enhancing the Family's strength. Now, the Li Family's power completely surpassed the Zhang Family's. All that remained was for the Li Family to eliminate all the Zhang Family's forces in the Mist Sea Secret Realm this time. Then the Zhang Family could be removed from the list.
Zhang Yaobang could feel the smugness on Li Yuanting's face. Although he felt some anger in his heart, he said calmly on the surface, "Heh heh, who will ultimately take first place will be known soon. Why think so much about it?"
"Heh heh, Elder Zhang. They still have a long time before they come out. Why don't we make a bet, just for fun and entertainment? Wouldn't that be great?" Li Yuanting smiled meaningfully.
"Oh, I wonder how Brother Li intends to bet?"
Zhang Yaobang was anxious about the situation of Zhang Hao and the others, but on the surface, he had to go along with it. He didn't want to show weakness.
Li Yuanting smiled sinisterly, "It's simple, we'll use the number of people from the Zhang Family who come out of the Secret Realm this time as the bet."
"Li Family Head, what do you mean by that?" Zhang Yaobang's expression darkened.
"Elder Zhang, don't be angry. Brother Li's meaning is simple. In recent Mist Sea Secret Realm trials, the Zhang Family has always had the fewest people come out. Therefore, it's understandable that the Li Family Head wants to use the number of people from the Zhang Family who come out of the Mist Sea Secret Realm this time as the bet," Wang Zhanfeng also stepped forward to chime in.
Li Yuanting looked at the two men with a smile like an old fox. He felt a deep unease in his heart. But on the surface, he said, "How shall we bet?"
"Elder Zhang, I bet that no more than five people from your Family will be able to come out of the Mist Sea Secret Realm this time. Do you dare to bet?" Li Yuanting was very confident.
"You!"
The feeling of unease in Zhang Yaobang's heart reached its peak at this moment. Could it be that Zhang Hao and the others were in danger this time? Or was there some conspiracy? Although Zhang Yaobang was very anxious, at this moment, he was helpless. After all, so much time had passed. Any conspiracy would have already been carried out.
"Alright, I'll bet with you. What's the stake?" Zhang Yaobang suppressed the anger in his heart.
"Hahaha, Elder Zhang is indeed straightforward. The stake is simple. Whoever loses will crawl on the ground and bark like a dog in front of all these people."
"Hahaha!"
Li Yuanting and Wang Zhanfeng both laughed smugly.
"Does Elder Zhang dare?" Li Yuanting was very smug.
Zhang Yaobang's face showed shame and anger, and for a moment, he couldn't speak.
"Hahaha, could it be that Elder Zhang also knows that the Zhang Family won't even have five surviving clansmen this time and doesn't dare to bet?" Li Yuanting continued to provoke Zhang Yaobang.
In fact, in Li Yuanting's heart this time, it was impossible for a single person from the Zhang Family to survive. After all, his arrangements this time were seamless. He didn't believe that anyone from the Zhang Family could survive under the joint encirclement of the Wang Family and Li Family, plus hundreds of Martial Warriors from small families.
