“Ding dong……”
That black-faced Great Martial Master also turned into Zhang Hao's experience points. Of course, those experience points were almost negligible.
Zhang Yaobang looked at Zhang Hao, frowned, and asked, "Zhang Hao, why did you just kill him? Maybe we could have gotten some information from his mouth."
Zhang Hao shook his head and said, "Grandpa, this person doesn't have much value. However, I estimate that in seven days at most, or three days at the least, the Nangong Family's reinforcements should arrive."
"Zhang Hao, how should we deal with this? Facing these Martial Kings, except for you, we are completely powerless," Zhang Yaobang said with great worry.
Zhang Hao naturally knew what Grandpa was worried about. He said confidently to Grandpa, "Grandpa, don't worry. Actually, I already have a plan. These people are doomed."
Zhang Hao's method was very simple. If they came, he would just kill them. Because he estimated that even if this wave of reinforcements came, there would be at most three Martial Kings. The Nangong Family wouldn't take the Zhang Family too seriously. One Martial King would be enough to destroy everyone in the Zhang Family. Even if the other party was cautious, there would be at most three Martial Kings. Three Martial Kings, even if they were three Martial Kings (high stage), it wouldn't be too difficult for Zhang Hao to destroy them. What he was most worried about was the head of the Nangong Family, Nangong Ao. Nangong Ao was a Half-Step Martial Ancestor. Without using his biggest trump card, Dragon Killing Slash, it would be very difficult to kill him.
The next day
Zhang Hao and Grandpa Zhang Yaobang were discussing in the main hall how to deal with the Nangong Family's invasion. Suddenly, a Zhang Family disciple walked in quickly from outside.
"This is bad, Supreme Elder!" the youth came before Zhang Yaobang with a serious expression.
"What's wrong? Why are you so flustered?" Zhang Yaobang asked with some dissatisfaction.
the youth said, "All of our Zhang Family's shops in Ninghai City have been sealed by the government officials."
"What?" Zhang Yaobang was furious.
Since destroying the two major families, the Zhang Family was now the second true Family in Watt Country, second only to the imperial Family. Someone actually dared to seal the Zhang Family's shops in Ninghai City. Their guts were simply too big.
"Who on earth has such audacity to actually seal our Zhang Family's shops?" Zhang Yaobang asked coldly.
"I don't know. At this moment, the government officials have surrounded our shops. They are now heading towards our largest Weapon Workshop. Eighth Elder is leading our Zhang Family disciples to confront the government officials!" the youth said urgently.
"Weapon Workshop? Dammit, I'd like to see who dares to seal our Family's Weapon Workshop!" Zhang Yaobang said in extreme anger.
If other shops were sealed, Zhang Yaobang could still remain relatively calm. But this Weapon Workshop was the Zhang Family's lifeline! Forty percent of the entire Zhang Family's income came from this Weapon Workshop. If this Weapon Workshop were truly sealed, it would be a huge blow to the Zhang Family.
Zhang Hao looked at his somewhat exasperated Grandpa and comforted him, "Grandpa, let's go. Zhang Hao believes that the sky of the Zhang Family will not fall."
"Okay, let's go." After seeing Zhang Hao, Zhang Yaobang's previously somewhat flustered heart also calmed down.
Zhang Hao, as a Martial King, was the Zhang Family's stabilizing force. No matter how big the storm, as long as Zhang Hao was there, the ship would not capsize.
Especially when he thought about how Zhang Hao had effortlessly wiped out all the Nangong Family's experts yesterday. Zhang Yaobang trusted Zhang Hao even more. Moreover, Little Black and Little Dragon's strength was also terrifyingly powerful. Especially when Zhang Hao told Zhang Yaobang that Little Black and Little Dragon were Wang Beasts, this shocked Zhang Yaobang even more. One must know that Wang Beasts were equivalent to Human Martial Warriors in the Martial King Realm.
What did it mean for Zhang Hao to possess these two Wang Beasts? It meant that Zhang Hao carried two bodyguards in the Martial King Realm with him. Of course, if Zhang Yaobang knew that Zhang Hao was a Martial King (high stage), he would not know what to think.
Outside Zhang Hao's Ru Yi Weapon Workshop, thousands of City Guard soldiers were confronting hundreds of Zhang Family disciples inside the Ru Yi Workshop.
"This General will say it again, if you don't move aside, you will be killed without mercy," General Xiang Batian of the City Guard roared.
"Kill without mercy!"
"Kill without mercy..."
At this moment, thousands of City Guard soldiers were roaring, their Killing Intent soaring.
"Hmph, General Xiang, the Weapon Workshop is our Zhang Family's property. What right do you City Guard have to seal it?" Eighth Elder snorted coldly.
Xiang Batian said coldly, "The Emperor has ordered that the Zhang Family is suspected of illegal trading. From today onwards, all properties under their name will be sealed pending investigation."
"Oh, why don't I know about this? Perhaps this is just your one-sided statement, and it's possible you're using public office for personal revenge," Eighth Elder snorted.
"How dare you! Does the Emperor need your Family's permission to do things?" Xiang Batian drew his saber and roared.
"Anyway, unless we see the Emperor, we will not agree to you sealing the Weapon Workshop," Eighth Elder said coldly.
"It seems the Zhang Family is preparing to rebel?" Xiang Batian's expression darkened.
"We wouldn't dare rebel, but this Ru Yi Weapon Workshop is our Zhang Family's lifeline, so it's naturally impossible for us to let you seal it casually. My apologies," Eighth Elder said.
"Good, City Guard, listen to my command. Seal the Ru Yi Weapon Workshop. If anyone dares to obstruct, kill without mercy," Xiang Batian ordered the City Guard soldiers.
"'Kill without mercy'? How bold! This old man wants to see how you will 'kill without mercy'!" A cold voice came from above Xiang Batian's head.
Xiang Batian's heart sank. He felt a terrifying pressure. The power of that pressure made him feel like he was almost suffocating.
Xiang Batian naturally knew who this was. He looked behind him and saw Zhang Yaobang and a youth looking at him coldly.
"Elder Zhang!"
No matter how arrogant Xiang Batian was, he did not dare to be presumptuous in front of the Zhang Family's Supreme Elder Zhang Yaobang.
Zhang Yaobang looked at Xiang Batian coldly and said, "Xiang Batian, who gave you the guts to seal our Zhang Family's property? If you don't explain yourself clearly, you and your men will not leave today."
"This is the Emperor's decree. This subordinate is just acting on orders," Xiang Batian said with a forced smile.
"I don't care whose decree it is. I'll give you ten seconds to disappear from my sight immediately, otherwise, this old man will make you disappear," Zhang Yaobang said with Killing Intent.
"Elder Zhang, are you planning to defy the imperial decree?" Xiang Batian sneered.
"Don't try to put words in this Elder's mouth. This Elder believes that the Emperor must have been deceived by treacherous people, which is why he did such a thing," Zhang Yaobang said lightly.
"Ten... nine..." Zhang Yaobang began counting without expression.
Xiang Batian was in a difficult position. He knew that he was only a Martial Master (high stage), and the City Guard soldiers under him were just the lowest level of Martial Warriors. To contend with Zhang Yaobang, a Great Martial Master, was beyond his power. It was like hitting a rock with an egg.
