Just at this moment, a chilling voice came.
"Family Head Zhang, what great prestige you have! Young Master sees you, truly wanting to defy the Emperor's decree. With such actions, there is no need for the Zhang Family to exist."
As the voice fell, three figures descended from the void.
These were three Old Man with white hair and wrinkled skin. The one speaking was the slightly taller Old Man standing in the middle.
"Second Ge Xia, you have arrived just in time." Xiang Batian looked at the appearance of the three Old Man, greatly surprised.
This Old Man was the Second Ge Xia of the Imperial Family, possessing the cultivation of a high-level Great Martial Master. The other two were the Third Ge Xia and the Fourth Ge Xia respectively. Both had mid-level Great Martial Master cultivation. It could be said that the cultivation of these three people was all above Zhang Yaobang.
"Elder Zhang, this is only a temporary shutdown of your Zhang Family's businesses. We are conducting an investigation, and we hope you will cooperate." The Second Ge Xia looked at Zhang Yaobang and said.
Zhang Yaobang looked at the three Ge Xia of the Imperial Family appearing together, his face solemn. These were the three major Ge Xia of the Imperial Family, each with cultivation above his. He had no choice but to treat them seriously.
"Even if the Imperial Family wants to seal our Zhang Family's businesses, they need to provide a reason! Our Ninghai City Zhang Family has existed for hundreds of years and is not something you can just casually find fault with." Because of Zhang Hao's presence, Zhang Yaobang's expression remained unchanged even when facing three Ge Xia with cultivation above his.
"Zhang Yaobang, don't be ignorant of what's good for you. The Emperor wants to seal you, so he will seal you, do you still dare to resist?" Xiang Batian shouted loudly.
Because of the presence of the three Ge Xia, Xiang Batian also felt very confident.
"We have received reports from other families that your Zhang Family is engaged in unfair competition and tax evasion. I think this charge is sufficient, right?" The Second Ge Xia looked at Zhang Yaobang indifferently and said.
"Hahahahaha, unfortunately, this charge, I, Zhang Yaobang, do not accept." Zhang Yaobang sneered.
"Unfortunately, whether you accept it or not, it cannot change this result." The Second Ge Xia shouted loudly, radiating terrifying Killing Intent.
"Whoosh!"
The Second Ge Xia suddenly attacked, striking a palm towards Zhang Yaobang.
Zhang Hao snorted coldly, blocking in front of Grandpa like lightning, and met the palm strike.
"Bang!"
The two palms met, erupting with a powerful shockwave.
Zhang Hao remained motionless. However, the Second Ge Xia was sent staggering back over a dozen steps by the palm strike.
The Second Ge Xia felt his internal energy surging and his insides burning. With a sound of "Wah!", he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Second Brother!"
The Third Ge Xia and Fourth Ge Xia were both greatly shocked. They quickly helped the Second Ge Xia up.
"You dare to injure my Second Brother."
The other two Old Man roared and rushed towards Zhang Hao together.
"Seeking death!"
Zhang Hao punched straight out with two fists, both carrying a domineering aura, and collided fiercely with the two palms of the two Old Man.
"Ah!"
The two Old Man screamed and flew backward, landing on the ground and spitting out large mouthfuls of blood.
The Second Ge Xia looked at Zhang Hao with horror and asked tremblingly, "Ge Xia, who are you? The Zhang Family absolutely does not have such a master as Ge Xia."
"Is that so? It seems the Imperial Family has truly forgotten the pain after the wound healed. I let Murong Old Ancestor off the hook back then for Zi Qian's sake, but I didn't expect the people of the Imperial Family to be ungrateful. They actually want to cause trouble while Young Master is away. This time, Young Master will personally go find Murong Jingtian and ask him if he wants to live or not?" Zhang Hao said with murderous intent and extreme coldness.
"You... you are Zhang Hao."
The Second Ge Xia looked at Zhang Hao in shock. Although he had never met Zhang Hao, how could he not know Zhang Hao, the number one Genius of the Zhang Family who single-handedly changed the landscape of the entire Watt Country. The Li Family and Tie Family were both old families in Watt Country, with numerous experts, but they were ultimately destroyed by Zhang Hao. Even the Half-Step Martial King Ancestor of the Li Family was killed.
"Zhang Hao, what do you want?" The Second Ge Xia looked at Zhang Hao and said fearfully.
"I'll give you one day to disappear from Watt Country, otherwise Young Master will make you disappear." Zhang Hao said coldly.
The Second Ge Xia's face changed drastically, feeling the boundless Killing Intent on Zhang Hao. After pondering for a long time, he seemed to age decades in an instant and sighed, "Alright, thank you, Young Master Kuang, for sparing our lives."
The three Ge Xia left dejectedly.
"Take your men and get out of here, otherwise, Young Master doesn't mind going on a killing spree. You haven't forgotten the fate of the Li Family and Tie Family, have you?" Zhang Hao looked at Xiang Batian and said chillingly.
Only now did Xiang Batian realize who the person in front of him was. That was the God of Slaughter of Watt Country a year ago! The God of Slaughter who single-handedly annihilated the Tie and Li families with a single blade!
Xiang Batian was almost scared to pee at this moment, trembling all over.
"Go..." Xiang Batian tremblingly ordered the City Guard, not daring to utter a single word.
The City Guard came quickly and left quickly. They soon disappeared from the sight of the Zhang Family and others.
"Oh!"
The people of the Zhang Family all cheered. They had been facing the immense pressure from the City Guard and had even considered sacrificing themselves. At this moment, seeing the City Guard leave dejectedly, they were all overjoyed.
"Greetings, Young Master, greetings, Supreme Elder."
Eighth Elder came before Zhang Hao and Supreme Elder.
Zhang Yaobang looked at Eighth Elder and smiled, "Yaofeng, you did well. Our Zhang Family people must be wealthy but not dissolute, and powerful but not yielding."
Zhang Yaofeng said somewhat sheepishly, "Yaofeng is just doing what he should."
Zhang Yaobang looked at Zhang Hao and asked seriously, "Zhang Hao, what should we do now?"
Zhang Hao narrowed his eyes and said, "We must go to the Imperial Palace and see. I don't think Murong Jingtian would suddenly cause us trouble. I wonder if it has something to do with the Nangong Family. This is something Zhang Hao must figure out."
Zhang Yaobang looked at Zhang Hao and asked, "Zhang Hao, could it be because Murong Old Ancestor broke through to Martial King, which is why the Imperial Family is starting to be so reckless?"
Zhang Hao narrowed his eyes, feeling that what Grandpa said also made sense. A Martial King was the peak for a small country like Watt Country.
In the past, the top experts of both the Imperial Family and the three major families were all Great Martial Master cultivation. Although the Imperial Family had many experts, they still couldn't gain an overwhelming advantage. Therefore, after Zhang Hao slaughtered the two major families and the Imperial Family's Murong Old Ancestor suffered a loss at Zhang Hao's hands, he could only lay low. However, now that Murong Old Ancestor has broken through with the help of the Dan brought back by Murong Ziqian from the Heaven Sword Sect, he has advanced to Martial King and is naturally ambitious. He wants to completely control Watt Country. This is also plausible. However, Zhang Hao still feels there is something strange about this.
Zhang Hao pondered for a moment and said solemnly to Zhang Yaobang, "The reason Grandpa mentioned should also be part of it. However, Zhang Hao still wants to go and see. Whether it's the former or the latter, it's not good for our Zhang Family."
"Alright, but Zhang Hao, you must be careful no matter what." Zhang Yaobang said earnestly to Zhang Hao.
"Grandpa, don't worry, your grandson knows what to do." Zhang Hao looked at Zhang Yaobang and smiled.
