Zhang Hao gradually calmed down. Since things had already happened, there was no use in regretting it now. However, if he had the chance, Nangong Ming would definitely be the first person he killed. This person was too hateful.
The only thing that frustrated Zhang Hao was that this plan had undergone significant changes as a result. Originally, he had used the Beast Taming Order to mobilize the three major groups: the Flame Tiger, the Blazing Golden War Lion, and the Wind Shadow Wolf. However, mobilizing these three groups, even at the fastest speed, would take some time. Zhang Hao estimated that even at the fastest speed, it would be after 7 AM tomorrow morning. The Lightning Leopard group summoned by Little Dragon was the same. They absolutely could not arrive by 6 AM tomorrow.
Originally, Zhang Hao was preparing to wait for the four beast groups to arrive and complete the encirclement. The plan was proceeding smoothly. Unexpectedly, this incident occurred.
Even so, Zhang Hao could not just stand by and watch the Su Sisters suffer without doing anything. If he did that, he, Zhang Hao, wouldn't be human. After all, the Su Sisters, Bai Xiaojun, Dai Dacheng, and others had come to the Demon Wild Forest because of him.
Although Zhang Hao knew that tomorrow would be a dragon's den and a tiger's lair, he still had to go.
"Very well, Nangong Ao, I didn't expect you had this move up your sleeve. I'll see what kind of dragon's den and tiger's lair you've set up for me," Zhang Hao murmured. His eyes were filled with determination.
The next day, in the central courtyard of the Demon Wild Forest.
Bai Xiaojun, the Su Sisters, and Dai Dacheng, all four of them, were tied together to a large tree. However, judging by their appearance, their complexions were good, and they had clearly not suffered any abuse. After all, these four were the bait to lure Zhang Hao. If anything went wrong, the plan would be ruined. Therefore, Nangong Ao ordered that they be given good food and drink, and as long as the four of them didn't cause trouble, no one from the Nangong Family was allowed to touch them.
This also made Nangong Ming very depressed. Originally, Nangong Ming thought that since he had captured these four people, especially the Su Sisters he had longed for day and night, he could take this opportunity to get close to them. But because of the order Nangong Ao had given, Nangong Ming was not allowed to approach them.
Looking at the Su Sisters tied to the large tree in the distance, Nangong Ming thought coldly, "Su Ziyi, Su Ruyi, haven't you still fallen into my hands this time? As long as Zhang Hao is dealt with, and This Young Master has rendered a great service to the Nangong Family, I will definitely request the Family Head to bestow you upon me. By then, I will definitely taste and see what makes you different from other women."
At this moment, Su Ruyi and Su Ziyi had no idea what Nangong Ming was thinking. All they felt was fear of their unknown fate.
"Elder Sister, do you think Zhang Dage will come to save us?" Su Ruyi asked Su Ziyi beside her.
Su Ziyi nodded and said firmly, "Ruyi, don't worry, he will definitely come, because he is a great hero. If he comes, he will definitely be able to save us."
Su Ruyi, however, shook her head and said, "No... Elder Sister, I don't hope Zhang Dage comes. Even if he comes, do you think he can rescue us from the hands of so many Nangong Family experts?"
Su Ziyi fell silent. Although she hadn't personally seen the Nangong Family's arrangements, there were 2000 Nangong Guards and countless Nangong Family experts in ambush here at this moment. Even if Zhang Hao was incredibly powerful, he would absolutely not be able to escape from the hands of so many Nangong Family experts.
At this moment, Nangong Ao was also equally anxious. In Nangong Ao's view, this plan was not very feasible. After all, who would risk their life for people they had only known for a few days? That would be too foolish. However, this was also the only option Nangong Ao had at the moment.
"Nangong Ming, time is almost up, do you think the other party will come?" Nangong Ao looked at Nangong Ming beside him with sinister eyes.
Nangong Ming's face instantly turned pale with fright. He quickly said, "Family Head, please rest assured, I think he will definitely appear."
Although Nangong Ming was so confident, at this moment, he was also unsure. His suggestion was only based on intuition. But now that the time was almost up and Zhang Hao had not appeared, Nangong Ming was also a little worried. After all, the Nangong Family had gone to such great lengths, and not even a single hair was seen. The Family Head would definitely not let him off.
"Zhang Hao, you coward, are you scared?" Nangong Ming roared in his heart.
Gradually, the time reached 6 AM. A trace of anger flashed in Nangong Ao's eyes. He first glared fiercely at Nangong Ming and said, "I'll settle the score with you later."
Nangong Ming's face turned pale with fright, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.
Nangong Ao said to the two Martial Warriors beside him, "Go, drag that big fellow out and behead him."
Two Martial Warriors from the Nangong Family responded with a roar. They dragged out Dai Dacheng and pressed him to the ground. A youth raised the tiger-head saber in his hand high.
Dai Dacheng closed his eyes, his face ashen. Although he had anticipated this fate, when death was truly about to arrive, a slight trace of fear flashed in Dai Dacheng's eyes.
"Dacheng!"
Su Ziyi and Su Ruyi both cried out.
Although Su Ruyi didn't want Zhang Hao to appear, when she truly found that he hadn't appeared, she still felt a little disappointed in her heart. Although, this was indeed very contradictory.
"Swish!"
The tiger-head saber in the hand of the Nangong Family youth slashed down towards Dai Dacheng's neck.
Suddenly, a white light streaked across the void. A small stone hit the tiger-head saber in the hand of the Nangong Family youth.
With a "Clang!" the youth's hand went numb, and the tiger-head saber in his hand was shaken off.
"Family Head Nangong, why are you so untrustworthy? Young Master hasn't even arrived yet, and you're already preparing to kill Young Master's friend. Isn't that breaking your word?" A lazy voice sounded from the edge of the forest.
As the voice fell, a youth walked slowly with his hands behind his back. His speed seemed slow but was actually fast, and he quickly arrived in front of them.
"Zhang Hao!"
"Zhang Dage!"
The Su Sisters, Dai Dacheng, and the others were both surprised and overjoyed.
"Family Head, he's here, he's really here," Nangong Ming said with great joy, pointing at Zhang Hao who was walking over.
When Nangong Ao saw Zhang Hao appear, his face was also full of joy. He said coldly to Zhang Hao, "Kid, although we are enemies, Esteemed One has to admire your courage. Knowing that this place is already a dragon's den and a tiger's lair, you still dare to come. Heh heh, I just don't know if this is foolishness, or if you're a newborn calf unafraid of tigers?"
Zhang Hao said with a very bewildered expression, "Heh heh, a dragon's den and a tiger's lair? Please forgive Young Master's poor eyesight, but how come I haven't seen one?"
"You will see," Nangong Ao lightly clapped his hands.
From the edge of the forest, an endless tide of people emerged. 2000 Nangong Guards, and 3000 direct and collateral disciples of the Nangong Family. The six Great Elders of the Nangong Family. This lineup, let alone Zhang Hao, a mere Martial King, would give even a true Martial Grandmaster a headache.
Zhang Hao nodded slightly and said, "What a grand display. It seems Family Head Nangong has truly gone to great lengths to deal with me."
Nangong Ao burst into loud laughter. His laughter carried endless hatred. He said to Zhang Hao, "Kid, you killed countless disciples of my Nangong Family. Today, this old man will crush you to pieces."
