Zhang Hao also saw the power of Intent at this moment. The power of Intent was indeed very strong. For example, Liu Mengyao's Intent of Icebound and Qi Zhao's Destruction Intent could both be called powerful methods among Intents.
Although he also had Quick Blade Intent, this Intent was only an auxiliary Intent after all. Of course, even if it was an auxiliary Intent, when used by Zhang Hao, its destructive power was also very strong.
Zhang Hao thought of the Intent Stones he had obtained earlier and mused: These Intent Stones should have miraculous effects for cultivating the power of Intent.
"Zhang Hao, why are you keeping this guy? Why not just kill him with one strike?" Qi Zhao looked at Zhang Hao and asked, somewhat puzzled.
Zhang Hao looked at the Martial Grandmaster on the ground and smiled faintly, saying, "Naturally, I have my purpose."
Liu Mengyao guessed that Zhang Hao might want to learn some inside information about the Heavenly Demon Sect through the mouth of this Martial Grandmaster.
Zhang Hao looked at the Martial Grandmaster and said in a stern voice, "I'll give you one chance. Tell me everything you know, and I can consider letting you go."
"Bah, give up on that idea. I will absolutely not betray the Holy Sect," the Martial Grandmaster said sternly.
"It seems you're not afraid of death?" Zhang Hao said in a cold voice.
The Martial Grandmaster laughed heartily and said, "What is death? It's nothing more than letting our Souls ascend to heaven earlier."
Zhang Hao sighed, having to admire how strong the Heavenly Demon Sect's brainwashing of these Martial Grandmasters truly was.
"Do you really think I have no way to deal with you if you don't speak?" Zhang Hao's expression was stern.
"Hmph..." The Martial Grandmaster had a mocking look.
Zhang Hao extended a drop of essence blood from his palm, condensing it into a blood seal. He flicked his finger. The blood seal broke into the Martial Grandmaster's glabella.
With a cry of "Ah!"
The Martial Grandmaster immediately screamed miserably, holding his head, in great pain. He kept thrashing and struggling on the ground.
Qi Zhao and Liu Mengyao, who were nearby, both looked at Zhang Hao in surprise, not knowing what exactly he was doing.
What Zhang Hao was currently using was the Slave Seal from the Mind Control Mystic Art. He hadn't used this technique for a long time either. With the improvement of Zhang Hao's spiritual power, after becoming a third-rank Spiritualist, he could now enslave three targets. Before his spiritual power broke through, he could only enslave one.
The spiritual imprint of the Blood Robe he had previously enslaved had extinguished. He knew that the Blood Robe was likely dead. However, Zhang Hao didn't pay too much attention to this. The Blood Robe was just an insignificant nobody. His usefulness to him now was negligible.
After struggling for half an incense stick, the Martial Grandmaster stopped struggling. His eyes also changed from their original struggle to clarity at this moment. He stood up from the ground, looked at Zhang Hao, and respectfully said, "Greetings, Master."
"Mhm, introduce yourself," Zhang Hao said to the Martial Grandmaster.
At this moment, Qi Zhao and Liu Mengyao on the side watched Zhang Hao's display in astonishment.
"Master, this little slave is the Guardian of the Tianmo Cult North Territory Branch," the Martial Grandmaster said.
"What is your name?" Zhang Hao asked again.
The Martial Grandmaster said, "This little slave was originally called Xue Kaifeng. Now, I ask Master to bestow a name."
The most terrifying aspect of the Mind Control Mystic Art is that although a person is enslaved, their consciousness is still clear.
"Then I'll call you Xiao Kai. Tell me the purpose of your visit to Wanmo Ridge this time," Zhang Hao said to Xiao Kai.
Xiao Kai immediately told Zhang Hao everything he knew, without holding anything back.
After receiving the full answer, Zhang Hao, Liu Mengyao, and Qi Zhao were still surprised.
It turned out that the reason the Heavenly Demon Sect came to Wanmo Ridge this time was to set up a teleportation array. With these teleportation arrays, the Heavenly Demon Sect could easily mobilize personnel and instantly annihilate a Sect.
After all, although the Ten Great Sects also competed with each other, they were united when facing external enemies. Although the Heavenly Demon Sect was powerful, it was not easy to destroy the Ten Great Sects simultaneously. However, with teleportation arrays, they could defeat them one by one, leaving the opponents no time to call for reinforcements.
Zhang Hao was also extremely shocked when he heard this. The Heavenly Demon Sect's plot was truly appalling. If they really succeeded, the Hao Xian Sect would be in danger. Moreover, these teleportation arrays were not only being set up in the Hao Xian Sect but also in the other nine Sects.
Zhang Hao thought of something else and looked at Xiao Kai, asking solemnly, "Then why did you slaughter the villagers in this area? Was there a purpose?"
Xiao Kai glanced at Zhang Hao and explained, "Master, because this teleportation array needs to be driven by essence blood, each transmission requires a large amount of essence blood, condensed into Blood Fiend Beads."
Zhang Hao's expression was somewhat grim. This Heavenly Demon Sect was truly evil, actually slaughtering ordinary people to refine Blood Fiend Beads. It seemed now that the ordinary people harmed in the surrounding area were definitely not just from Xiye Village. It was just that Zhang Hao and the others hadn't discovered it yet.
Zhang Hao looked at Xiao Kai and asked, "Then do you know how the teleportation array is set up?"
Xiao Kai glanced at Zhang Hao and said, "Master, when Xiao Kai came out, the teleportation array was almost set up."
Zhang Hao's expression immediately became solemn. Originally, he had planned to return to the Hao Xian Sect first to report the news to Elder Tu, but now it seemed it was clearly too late. If they went back and forth, the Heavenly Demon Sect would probably have already attacked.
"Zhang Hao, what should we do?" Qi Zhao looked at Zhang Hao.
Liu Mengyao also stared at Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao said calmly, "There is no other way now. We can only take the initiative to attack and destroy the teleportation array."
Qi Zhao nodded and said, "Mhm, let's do it. If we succeed, we will have rendered a great service this time."
Zhang Hao, Qi Zhao, and Liu Mengyao immediately decided that Xiao Kai would lead the three of them to secretly infiltrate the location of the teleportation array and destroy it.
However, there was still a rather serious problem during this time. This time, there was a Mid-level Martial Grandmaster stationed in Wanmo Ridge, and he was even at the Peak of the Mid-level.
Although Zhang Hao was confident that he could still challenge opponents above his level in the Wu Zong Realm, he was still unsure when facing a Mid-level Martial Grandmaster. Fortunately, the Mid-level Martial Grandmaster would leave for a period of time every night. This was another reason why Zhang Hao chose to attack at night.
At night, Zhang Hao and the others followed Xiao Kai to the edge of a Small Woods in Wanmo Ridge. The woods were lush and the vegetation was dense. If it weren't for Xiao Kai leading the way, Zhang Hao would definitely not have known that a teleportation array was hidden here.
Walking to the edge of the Small Woods, Xiao Kai made a gesture to Zhang Hao and the others, indicating for them to follow behind him. Of course, Zhang Hao and the others maintained a distance of fifty meters from Xiao Kai to prevent any unexpected situations from occurring.
