Chapter 337 - pleadings

Without saying a word, Wang Hao returned to the Inner Gate Square with his fastest speed.

One reason was because today's cultivation was a little depressing. If he could not find a training companion demon beast, there was no need to waste any more time.

Secondly, Wang Hao was a little worried about the Zheng Family.

It was not because he was afraid that Zheng Family would disobey him, and not follow his orders. It was because he was afraid that Zheng Family would try to do something bad in the dark, or even go crazy and kill him to keep his mouth shut.

For example, Han Ming and the others. Honestly speaking, Wang Hao was worried that they would be silenced.

After all, killing to silence the public wasn't a rare thing. Even in China, there were also a lot of corrupt people who, in order to cover up their crimes, secretly instigated people to cause accidents in society and shut up the disobedient victims forever.

However, Wang Hao was overthinking things this time.

Even if they borrowed a hundred of the Zheng Family's guts, they wouldn't dare go against Wang Hao right now.

Today, the patriarch of the Zheng Family, Zheng Ji, personally led a group of people, as well as three of the higher ups of the Zheng Family.

There was no choice, the higher ups of the Zheng Family had not been able to eat well every day for the past half month, and could not fall asleep.

This was because the patriarch of their Zheng Family had gone missing.

They had naturally guessed what the ancestor was going to do. In the beginning, they had only been a bit nervous, but more importantly, they had been venting their anger, thinking that the ancestor had secretly made a move himself.

However, as time slowly passed and no news came back, their nervousness gradually deepened and a bad premonition began to haunt their hearts.

On the seventh day, the ancestor was still nowhere to be seen and no news was sent back. They could no longer hold themselves back and directly sent people out to investigate.

At first, they had fantasies that it would be inconvenient for the patriarch to take action near the Mingzhou City, but after a few days, even if they were to take a walk, they would be far away. At least they had passed by other cities.

They could not help but worry for the safety of their clan's patriarch. Although they were confident in their clan's strength, Wang Hao was after all, the only disciple of the Taoist Master Yunxiao, so no one knew what trump card he had given Wang Hao, or whether he had experts protecting him from the shadows.

The efficiency of the scouts were quite high. They had been sent out in the morning and had received news in the evening.

However, the news that came back had nearly scared the higher ups of Zheng Family to death. Every single one of them had a fire burning on their eyebrows and were unable to remain calm.

This news was none other than the commotion caused by Wang Hao in the Crouching Dragon Villa.

The higher ups of the Zheng Family did not care about shocking Wang Hao's shocking performance in the Villa, after hearing the news, they immediately pinched their fingers to calculate the time. After calculating it, the bad premonition became even stronger, and Wang Hao actually returned to the Crouching Dragon Villa the night he left the Mingzhou City!

Wasn't this speed too fast! Even for Jindan cultivator like them, not many could do it!

Of course, Wang Hao's speed was also not the main point.

The point was, where did their ancestor go? Why isn't he back yet?

There was no news of them at all. No one was to be seen, and no one was to be found. Everyone was worried to death!

They were extremely nervous, terrified, and did not dare imagine the worst outcome, which would be their ancestor assassinating Wang Hao, and then getting killed. If it was really like that, the Crouching Dragon Villa would have to investigate, and even if their Zheng Family did not want to die, it would be difficult!

As long as the Crouching Dragon Villa released the news, even without the help of the other experts, just the experts of the Mingzhou City would be able to completely wipe them out.

Without the Patriarch, the strongest fighting force in the Mingzhou City, how could the Zheng Family defend against the experts from the entire city? Just the Li and Yuan Families were enough to make the Zheng Family suffer.

When that time really comes, the Li Family and the Yuan Family would definitely not show any mercy and would only put forth their utmost effort to obtain the good impression of the Crouching Dragon Villa and Wang Hao.

After another seven days passed by, the higher ups of the Zheng Family finally stopped holding onto the thought that something might have happened to the ancestor, as Wang Hao's revenge could descend anytime, and the Zheng Family was in a precarious situation. Thus, after a series of discussions, the higher ups sent Patriarch Zheng Ji and the three higher-ups to bring the criminals over to the Villa to beg for forgiveness, while the other higher-ups started to arrange for the path of retreat, and tried to think of ways to secretly send some of the younger generation out of the city, so that they could leave some of their bloodline in the Zheng Family.

Zheng Family had already prepared for the worst. As for why she still needed the patriarch and the three higher-ups to go to the Villa to beg for forgiveness, he wanted to show enough sincerity to ask for forgiveness and fight for a strand of hope.

Otherwise, if Wang Hao did not see the sincerity in their words, the consequences for their Zheng Family would be even worse.

Furthermore, the current Mingzhou City was no longer under the control of the Zheng Family. The other families were all staring at the Zheng Family, and it would be difficult for them to let the last generation leave the city.

On the Inner Gate Square, the perceptual power had long discovered the location of Zheng Ji's group upon returning.

Swish!

Wang Hao's figure dropped down from the sky and landed in front of Zheng Ji and the others, immediately giving them a fright.

In Crouching Dragon Villa, Zheng Ji and the others who had come to ask for forgiveness did not dare to look around randomly, nor did they dare to release perceptual power s. They felt that the people around them were just like big bad wolves, while they were just small sheep.

The big bad wolves would come at any time and eat them up.

They were all trembling with fear, anxiously waiting for Wang Hao to make his move. That was why Wang Hao's sudden appearance had shocked them.

They were the ones who didn't realize it, and they were the ones who were weak and had no confidence at all.

"Wang Young Master Wang, you're back!" Zheng Ji tried his best to calm himself down, and smiled along, as he bent down and cupped his fists in greeting.

Wang Hao glanced at them coldly, and from their trembling appearance, he could guess their purpose for coming here today, so he coldly spoke: "Are these the people who forced my mother to come here back then? You didn't miss anything? "

Zheng Ji hurriedly explained: "Young Master Wang, back then, there weren't many people who participated in it. Now, other than the two who have died, Zheng Chu and my brother are in the Misty Rain House, and I am powerless and powerless, the rest are all here, waiting for your punishment. I hope you can enlighten me, Young Master Wang, that I and the three elders were unaware of this back then."

Back then, the amount of people participating in Ling Qingxue's matter was indeed not many. Other than the Elder Zheng who had tacitly accepted, the rest were all the younger generation and the younger generation's bodyguards.

Hearing that, Wang Hao scoffed, and said: "Willing but powerless? Aren't you the patriarch of Zheng Family? Could it be that she couldn't even order the Zheng Family people around? Or could it be that you didn't sincerely admit your wrongs and were playing a raider's trick? "

"No, Young Master Wang, please do not misunderstand, listen to my explanation!" Zheng Ji hurriedly explained as beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on his forehead. It was unknown whether he was scared or tanned in the sun.

"Speak!" Wang Hao said coldly.

"It's like this, my little brother is five years younger than me, back then I was lucky enough to form my core before the age of forty, and became an elder of the Misty Rain House. Now that my cultivation has reached the third transition, my strength is no longer comparable to mine, so, whether it is in terms of status or strength, this junior is unable to make my little brother listen to my orders.

Wang Hao waved his hands: "Alright, let this matter rest for now. Let me ask you, how about the money? Did you do as I said? "
