Zhang Hao floated down onto a tree and checked the Beast Taming Token in his hand.
Item: Beast Taming Token (One-time use item)
Description: Can tame three types of beast races. Quantity not exceeding 20,000.
Seeing this, Zhang Hao was overjoyed. It was truly a pillow arriving just as he felt sleepy. Although three races weren't many, he could choose some powerful races. For example, the Flame Tiger race. The Blazing Golden War Lion race. And the Wind Shadow Wolf race. The strongest in these three races were all Wang Beasts. Moreover, these three races were overlords within the Demon Wild Forest.
The Blazing Golden War Lion and the Flame Tiger were close relatives, belonging to the power-type races. Both races had 5,000 members each. The Wind Shadow Wolf was extremely ferocious, belonging to beasts that preferred group battles. Its characteristics were ferocity, fighting to the death, and appearing and disappearing without a trace. Some mercenaries in the Demon Wild Forest disliked encountering the Wind Shadow Wolf the most. This was because the Wind Shadow Wolf was not only numerous but also relentless. In contrast, the Blazing Golden War Lion and the Flame Tiger would retreat when they knew they were outmatched.
However, Little Dragon also needed time to gather these Ferocious Beasts and Demonic Beasts. Zhang Hao planned to wait for a while first.
Suddenly, Zhang Hao heard movement below the tree. He frowned and looked down. He found that it was several disciples of the Nangong Family.
"They shouldn't be here, let's look elsewhere!"
"Okay, retreat..."
Several Nangong Family disciples were conversing.
Zhang Hao heard them from the treetops. His heart stirred, and he thought to himself: Are they looking for me?
"Hmph, I wasn't planning to make a move tonight, but since you delivered yourselves to my doorstep, how can Young Master not make a profit?" Zhang Hao sneered.
"Little Dragon, are there others around?" Zhang Hao asked Little Dragon, who was curled up in his arms.
Little Dragon sniffed around and shook its head at Zhang Hao, saying, "Boss, I'm sure there's no one else."
Only then did Zhang Hao feel relieved. Originally, he was worried if this was a trap set by the Nangong Family.
"Thud!"
Zhang Hao leaped down from the treetops, landing in front of those Nangong Family disciples. These were all third-generation disciples of the Nangong Family. Every single one of them was a Great Martial Master.
Upon seeing Zhang Hao, each of them was greatly startled. During this time, Zhang Hao's reputation in the Nangong Family could be said to be thunderous. No one hadn't heard of him. Seeing him at this moment, everyone felt somewhat apprehensive. One of the slightly bolder Nangong Family disciples stammered as he asked Zhang Hao, "You... who are you?"
Zhang Hao put his hands behind his back and said indifferently, "Weren't you looking for trouble with Young Master? Why are you asking Young Master who I am now? Isn't this laughable?"
"You... you are Zhang Hao?"
After finally confirming Zhang Hao's identity, these people were terrified, each retreating seven or eight steps, looking at him with vigilance and fear.
"Any last words? You can say them now, otherwise, there won't be a chance." Zhang Hao's eyes narrowed, his entire body exuding a killing aura.
the youths immediately felt a mountain-like pressure weighing down on them. It made them feel as though even breathing was difficult.
"Wait, I have something to say." One of the leading youths quickly said to Zhang Hao.
"Speak!" Zhang Hao didn't care about these Great Martial Masters at all.
"We indeed came looking for you, and we are delivering a letter to you on behalf of our Family Head." the youth said to Zhang Hao with a serious expression.
"Delivering a letter?"
Zhang Hao was slightly taken aback.
What kind of scheme was this Nangong Ao up to? Did he want to compromise with him? However, as soon as this thought arose, Zhang Hao immediately dismissed it. The other party shouldn't be that desperate yet. Now, he and the Nangong Family were mortal enemies, the kind that fought to the death. It was unlikely the Nangong Family would shake hands and make peace with him. Thus, Zhang Hao was still quite curious about the content of Nangong Ao's letter.
Seeing Zhang Hao take the letter, the leading youth immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He waved to his companions behind him and said, "Let's go..."
"Wait!" Zhang Hao frowned and called out to the other party.
The leading youth was instantly terrified and said to Zhang Hao with fear, "You want to kill us?"
These people naturally knew that if Zhang Hao really intended to kill them, this group would likely meet their end here.
Zhang Hao looked at the unceasing fear on the youth's face. He found it amusing. However, on the surface, he said indifferently, "Don't worry, I still know the rule that envoys are not killed when two armies are at war. I just need you to go back and deliver a message to your Family Head, tell him to wash his neck clean and wait for me."
"Ah!"
Although the leading youth felt very angry in his heart, he dared not show it on the surface at this moment. He nodded and quickly left with his men.
After the youth left, Zhang Hao was about to tear open the letter. Suddenly, he thought: Could there be poison on this letter?
This possibility wasn't zero, and it was quite high. However, Zhang Hao dismissed it again. Although poison could also cause significant harm to Martial Warriors, not all Martial Warriors feared poison. Especially Martial Warriors above the Martial King realm had strong immunity to poison. Of course, on this True Martial Continent, there were still many potent poisons that could kill Martial Kings.
However, such poison was very difficult to obtain. If Nangong Ao had it, he would have used it long ago, not waited until now. Moreover, there were many ways to use poison, no need to resort to such a crude method. Even if there was poison, Zhang Hao wasn't afraid. Zhang Hao possessed the Nether Lotus Demonic Flame, a flame that could purify all filth. Of course, this included potent poisons. At least at this moment, Zhang Hao hadn't thought of any potent poison that could resist the burning of the Nether Lotus Demonic Flame.
Thinking of this, Zhang Hao had no more reservations. He opened the letter. However, after reading the letter, he instantly shattered it. An expression of anger appeared on his face.
Because the letter told Zhang Hao a piece of news that was extremely bad for him. The Su Sisters, Bai Xiaojun, and Dai Dacheng had all fallen into the hands of the Nangong Family. Nangong Ao demanded that he must go to the central courtyard of the Demon Wild Forest at 6 AM tomorrow. Otherwise, for every hour he was late, the Nangong Family would kill one person, until they were all killed.
"Nangong Ming!" Zhang Hao roared angrily. With a single palm strike, he shattered a towering tree in front of him.
Zhang Hao had never hated someone so much. The hatred for Nangong Ming in his heart even surpassed that for anyone else in the Nangong Family.
Zhang Hao naturally knew that Nangong Ao could know about his relationship with the Su Sisters, it must have been Nangong Ming who told him.
He just didn't know why the Su Sisters, Dai Dacheng, and Bai Xiaojun, who had returned to Flying Cloud Academy, would appear in the Demon Wild Forest again. However, Zhang Hao secretly guessed that they might have learned about him and came to look for him.
