"Hmph, this so-called Wen Gongzi also needs to be investigated. It's highly probable he's a spy for the Heavenly Demon Sect," Tu Zhan said.
Wen Guangyuan was enraged. He glared at Tu Zhan and said discontentedly, "Tu Zhan, what do you mean?"
Tu Zhan sneered, "I'm talking about Wen Gongzi. Are you the only one in the Hao Xian Sect with the surname Wen? Don't take it so personally. Are you feeling guilty?"
"You..."
Wen Guangyuan was also greatly angered by Tu Zhan.
Cao Jun looked at Wen Guangyuan and said coldly, "Stop arguing. This time, we didn't specifically come here to listen to you two quarrel."
Wen Guangyuan said to Cao Jun, feeling somewhat wronged, "Sect Leader, it's not that I, Wen Guangyuan, want to make things difficult for him. It's just that this kid is very strange. There are many loopholes in what he just said. For example, he said he escaped from the hands of a High Stage Martial Overlord. But the problem is, this kid is a Low Stage Martial Overlord. Don't you find that suspicious?"
The other Elders around, upon hearing this, immediately felt that what Wen Guangyuan said made sense. After all, the gap between a Low Stage Martial Overlord and a High Stage Martial Overlord is too large. Even Tu Zhan couldn't help but change his expression.
Cao Jun furrowed his brows, looked at Zhang Hao, and asked solemnly, "Zhang Hao, how do you explain this?"
Zhang Hao said indifferently, "Because I possess a trump card. I wonder if any of you have heard of the Great Teleportation Talisman?"
"Ah, you actually possess a Great Teleportation Talisman?" Cao Jun was greatly surprised.
Tu Zhan looked at Cao Jun in great astonishment. Even he had never heard of the so-called Great Teleportation Talisman. He hadn't expected the Sect Leader to seem to know about it.
Even Wen Guangyuan was a bit confused. Clearly, he didn't know what a Great Teleportation Talisman was either.
Cao Jun saw the gazes of the surrounding Elders fall upon him, and then said, "This Great Teleportation Talisman is refined by a Talisman Master. This profession is rarely heard of in our Northern Region, but if it were in the Emperor Domain, the profession of Talisman Master is very common and a highly respected profession."
"In that case, Zhang Hao is indeed innocent. After all, even I and Deputy Sect Leader Wen haven't heard of it, yet he immediately mentioned the Great Teleportation Talisman. Clearly, he does possess a Great Teleportation Talisman," Tu Zhan said seriously.
Cao Jun also nodded and said, "That's right, I second Elder Tu's words."
Wen Guangyuan frowned, but at this moment, even the Sect Leader seemed to be siding with Tu Zhan, so he couldn't change the outcome and simply stopped speaking.
Tu Zhan said to Cao Jun, "Sect Leader, I suggest immediately mobilizing personnel to destroy that stronghold. According to Zhang Hao's statement, if the other party repairs that array again, I'm worried that our Hao Xian Sect will be put in a passive position."
Cao Jun's expression became serious and he said, "Okay, this time I, the Sect Leader, will personally lead the team. You and Wen Guangyuan will provide support from the center."
Three hours later, the experts of the Hao Xian Sect arrived at Wanmo Ridge in a mighty procession.
The people of the Heavenly Demon Sect clearly hadn't expected the Hao Xian Sect to arrive so quickly, and the battle was extremely fierce.
However, because the Hao Xian Sect had almost come out in full force this time, and the Heavenly Demon Sect was forced to respond hastily, the Heavenly Demon Sect was defeated, leaving behind dozens of corpses. The Hao Xian Sect achieved a great victory. And all the array foundations of those teleportation arrays were destroyed. It can be said that the Heavenly Demon Sect would not be able to make a comeback in a short period of time.
In the Inner Sect Hall of the Hao Xian Sect,
"Zhang Hao, this time you have rendered great service. After discussing with the Sect Leader, we have decided to give Liu Mengyao and Qi Zhao 10,000 contribution points each," Tu Zhan said seriously.
Upon hearing this, Tu Zhan was instantly overjoyed.
Liu Mengyao's face also showed joy, and they both quickly said, "Thank you, Sect Leader, thank you, Grand Elder."
Tu Zhan's face showed a smile, and he continued, "Zhang Hao, based on your special role this time, the Hao Xian Sect is prepared to give you 30,000 contribution points."
Zhang Hao also smiled broadly. This reward was quite good. Within the Hao Xian Sect, these contribution points were even harder to obtain than at Tianwu Academy. This many contribution points were enough for Zhang Hao to be extravagant once more.
"Alright, you may go down first!" Elder Tu said to Zhang Hao with great satisfaction.
Coming out of the Inner Sect Hall of the Hao Xian Sect, Qi Zhao looked at Zhang Hao with great envy and said, "Zhang Hao, I originally thought that getting 10,000 contribution points was a lot, but I didn't expect you to get 30,000 contribution points all at once. It's truly true that comparing people makes one angry!"
"Alright, now you should consider how to use these 10,000 contribution points to improve your strength. Although you are now in the Inner Sect, if you don't break through to Martial Grandmaster, you will still be the weakest one in the Inner Sect," Zhang Hao said to Qi Zhao seriously.
Qi Zhao's expression became serious, and he said to Zhang Hao, "Zhang Hao, I understand. I will go into seclusion immediately and strive to break through to Martial Grandmaster as soon as possible."
Zhang Hao also nodded and said, "Then I wish you an early successful Breakthrough to Martial Grandmaster."
At night,
Every time at this hour, Zhang Hao would choose to enter the Nine Heavens Palace to Cultivate his mental strength. Although the effect of cultivating his mental strength in that room was getting weaker, it was still better than nothing. The growth of mental strength was naturally of great benefit to Zhang Hao. It was of great significance for both the God Control Technique and the Dark God Eyes.
After some time, Zhang Hao opened his eyes, a strange light flickering within them. He murmured, "The effect of those rays on my mental strength has weakened. I wonder if there are other rooms inside that are helpful for cultivating mental strength?"
However, Zhang Hao also knew that the rooms in the Nine Heavens Palace were gradually unlocked as one's strength increased. There was no point in being anxious now.
Suddenly, Zhang Hao felt a surge of energy fluctuation. This made him slightly surprised. He murmured, "Strange, this is... this is the array pattern fluctuation of an Array Dao Master?"
"Isn't there not many Array Dao Masters in this Northern Region? How could there be array pattern fluctuations?" Zhang Hao muttered to himself, his expression showing a hint of confusion.
This strongly aroused Zhang Hao's curiosity. The next second, Zhang Hao flew towards the direction from which the array pattern energy was coming. The place where the array pattern energy originated was surprisingly the back mountain.
After flying for an unknown amount of time, from a distance, Zhang Hao saw an Old Man who looked about ninety years old with a youthful face and white hair, setting up an array. The Old Man glanced at Zhang Hao, clearly noticing him, but he didn't pay him any mind and continued setting up the array on his own.
Zhang Hao looked at the Old Man and knew that he had indeed encountered an Array Dao Master. However, looking at the method of setting up the array, it was extremely crude. He should be a Low Stage Array Dao Master. Calling him a novice wouldn't be an exaggeration. Although he might be considered a prominent figure among Low Stage Array Dao Masters, in the eyes of Zhang Hao, a High Stage Array Dao Master, he was like a child just learning to walk.
"Huh, the Big Dipper Seven Stars Array?"
Zhang Hao took a brief look at the array the Old Man was setting up and immediately recognized what array he was trying to set up.
"Huh, you know the Big Dipper Seven Stars Array?" The Old Man's eyes flickered, and he looked at Zhang Hao with some surprise.
