Tieyuan City City Lord's Mansion.
The City Lord of Tieyuan City personally hosted a banquet for Zhang Hao and others.
The City Lord of Tieyuan City was a Middle-aged man around sixty years old. He was only a Low Stage Martial King. His name was Wei Gao.
"This time, it was entirely thanks to the help of all you young heroes, otherwise Tieyuan City would not have been saved!" Wei Gao said gratefully to Zhang Hao and the others.
"It's alright, it's alright. This was originally our mission anyway," Zhang Hao said lightly.
"Young heroes, although we killed the enemy's vanguard this time, it is estimated that they will make a comeback soon," Wei Gao said with a worried expression.
Hearing this, Zhang Hao looked at Wei Gao and asked seriously, "City Lord, do you know the location of this group's base?"
Wei Gao nodded and said, "Of course I know that. It's in a mountain forest north of the city. There are about five hundred people, and the weakest among them are all at the Great Martial Master Peak."
Zhang Hao raised an eyebrow, looked at Wei Gao, and asked, "Then do you know who has the highest cultivation level in this base?"
Wei Gao pondered for a moment and said seriously to Zhang Hao, "The one with the highest cultivation is a Low Stage Martial Grandmaster."
"A Low Stage Martial Grandmaster?"
"Leave these people to us," Zhang Hao said with certainty.
"Really?"
Wei Gao was overjoyed. For Wei Gao, ever since he heard about the Heavenly Demon Sect's invasion, he had been so scared that he couldn't sleep at night.
He was too clear about the strength of the Tieyuan City City Guard. They were basically very ordinary Martial Warriors. There weren't many Martial Masters. Even the various Generals were only Half-Step Martial Kings. And the number one expert in Tieyuan City was him, a Low Stage Martial King. Even so, it was because Tieyuan City was located on the border and was relatively important. Otherwise, in other cities, the City Lord would at most be a Great Martial Master. It could be said that they couldn't resist the Heavenly Demon Sect's attack at all.
"Don't worry, City Lord will hear our good news tonight. When we send out the signal, City Lord will lead the soldiers to sweep through, striving to completely annihilate the Heavenly Demon Sect," Zhang Hao said with great certainty to Wei Gao.
"Okay, absolutely," Wei Gao was overjoyed.
After discussing with Wei Gao, Zhang Hao went down to discuss with the Hao Xian Sect Disciples.
Upon hearing that there was another base, the Hao Xian Sect Disciples were all excited. For them, these Heavenly Demon Sect Disciples were simply contribution points.
Therefore, everyone agreed without a second thought. They were all rubbing their fists and palms, wishing they could rush over and kill them right now.
Zhang Hao shook his head and mused, "The system of this Hao Xian Sect is really quite sharp. They know the inertia of these Sect disciples; they won't get up early without profit. If it weren't for the incentive of contribution points, I estimate that if I said I was going to ambush the Heavenly Demon Sect, they would all complain about me a few times!"
After the discussion, more than thirty Hao Xian Sect Disciples immediately advanced towards the Heavenly Demon Sect's base.
However, just as Zhang Hao and the others arrived outside the base, they saw flames soaring into the sky. It looked like someone was fighting. Zhang Hao and the Hao Xian Sect group were stunned. What was going on? They hadn't even started yet. Why had the fighting already begun? This plot seemed a bit off!
"Kill, kill..."
Inside the base, the sounds of killing shook the heavens.
Zhang Hao pondered for a moment and said to the Hao Xian Sect Martial Warriors behind him, "You wait here for me first, I'll go and check the situation. As soon as I send a signal, you charge in, understand?"
"Understood, Senior Apprentice Brother Haotian."
The Hao Xian Sect Outer Sect students responded to Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao quickly darted into the jungle. Inside the Heavenly Demon Sect's base, flames soared into the sky, and sounds of killing rose from all directions. Zhang Hao concealed himself among the jungle and looked over.
"Hmm, why do these people look like they're from a College?" Zhang Hao was slightly surprised.
Looking at the clothes on the youths fighting the Heavenly Demon Sect, they seemed to be the uniforms of various Colleges. However, when facing these Heavenly Demon Sect Martial Warriors, these College students were clearly no match.
A beautiful girl covered in blood said anxiously to the students beside her, "I'll cover the rear, you quickly break through! This time, I was reckless. I didn't expect the Heavenly Demon Sect to be prepared. This time, I've implicated all of you."
"How can we let Junior Sister cover the rear for us? This is absolutely not allowed. I, Murong Fei, am definitely not someone who is afraid of death!" Murong Fei's expression became serious as he sternly refused the girl.
Zhang Hao, who was off to the side, lightly let out a sound of surprise. Because among these people, he clearly saw a few familiar faces. Ye Qingrou, Murong Fei... When did they get together? Zhang Hao was both surprised and pleased.
"Hahaha... You want to leave? Do you think you can?" A small leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect coldly snorted.
Just as the Heavenly Demon Sect's small leader's voice fell, countless Heavenly Demon Sect Disciples surged out from all directions, surrounding the College students completely.
There were only a little over a hundred College students. Surrounded by these Heavenly Demon Sect Disciples, they appeared isolated and helpless. Each one was at a loss.
A Blood Robe Old Man descended from the sky and hovered in front of the College students.
The vast pressure completely extinguished the fighting spirit of the College students, and their breathing became somewhat rapid.
"Such terrifying pressure, is it a Martial King? No... it's not a Martial King, it should be a Martial Grandmaster..." The leading girl's expression was one of shock.
The leading girl was a student from the Inner Courtyard of Changfeng Academy. She was a Middle Stage Martial King. Naturally, she could feel that this Blood Robe Old Man was not a Martial King at all, but a Martial Grandmaster.
The terror of a Martial Grandmaster. The girl naturally knew this very well. With a wave of his hand, he could turn their entire group into dust. The two sides were not in the same weight class at all.
"It's over."
The girl felt a bit of despair. If this Martial Grandmaster hadn't appeared, with good luck, some of their group might have been able to break through the encirclement and escape to report the news. But after the Martial Grandmaster appeared, they had no hope at all.
All the students were also despairing upon hearing that the Blood Robe Old Man was actually a Martial Grandmaster. The strongest among this group was only a Martial King, and the difference in strength between a Martial King and a Martial Grandmaster was simply vast.
"Kneel down! Each of you kowtow a hundred times, and this Old Man can spare your lives," the Martial Grandmaster coldly snorted.
The leading girl said with a solemn expression, "A scholar would rather die than be humiliated."
"Very good, since you're not afraid of death, this Old Man will grant your wish."
The Martial Grandmaster struck down at the girl with a palm.
This palm strike contained extremely terrifying power. It was something a Martial King absolutely could not withstand.
"Senior Sister!"
Murong Fei's eyes were bloodshot, and he was somewhat despairing.
Zhang Hao, who was hidden to the side, naturally knew that with the girl's strength, she absolutely could not withstand this move. The gap between the two sides was too large.
"What does bullying a little girl count for?"
Zhang Hao quickly darted out. He blocked in front of the girl and met the strike with a punch.
With a "bang!"
The power of both sides collided in the void.
The Blood Robe Old Man's palm strike was instantly shattered by Zhang Hao.
