System: Infinite Evolution into Qilin Bloodline

Chapter 356

"Huh, stubborn!"

Upon hearing this, the three association leaders' faces darkened, and they immediately waved their hands, signaling their subordinates to take action.

In an instant, the martial artists around him rushed forward, their fists and feet weaving together as they launched a fierce attack on Zhang Hao.

However, Zhang Hao did not show the slightest sign of panic.

To outsiders, these martial artists are like dazzling stars, rare gems in the martial arts world, their every leap shining with extraordinary brilliance.

But under Zhang Hao's profound gaze, they were as insignificant as ants in the dust. Even if they all gathered together and stood still, they could not shake him in the slightest. It was as if he was surrounded by an invisible barrier, rendering all attacks ineffective.

Apart from the three high-ranking chamber of commerce presidents, the rest of this group were like duckweed drifting in the wind, at best insignificant lackeys. Their existence was but a drop in the ocean compared to uncovering the secrets of the Chencang Stone Drums, and they had no way of knowing the hidden mysteries.

Therefore, Zhang Hao remained completely calm. With a simple wave of his hand, as if a god had descended to earth, dozens of strange seeds shot out from his palm. They drew dazzling trajectories in the air, accurately embedding themselves into the bodies of each enemy, like bullets imbued with life, piercing through mortal bodies.

When these seeds touch the human body, they instantly unleash astonishing power, as if it were nature's cruelest punishment, turning the enemy into shocking clouds of blood mist that dissipate into nothingness, leaving only a deathly silence and awe.

Even the three well-informed chairmen of the association—the Japanese, the Koreans, and the Vietnamese—were speechless at this scene. Their astonishment was palpable, and their usual composure vanished, replaced by incoherent pleas for mercy.

However, amidst these desperate pleas for mercy, the Yuehou Association President suddenly had a different idea.

He was the undisputed pinnacle of martial arts in the Yuehou Kingdom. His punch was powerful enough to shake mountains and kill enemies in an instant. Even a ferocious elephant could not withstand his blow.

At this moment, his eyes widened in anger, and he gathered all his life's cultivation, determined to fight for a chance of survival in this desperate situation, and punched Zhang Hao in the chest.

But this punch was like a mud ox entering the sea; Zhang Hao's body was as solid as a rock and did not move an inch. The fist force that was enough to shatter rocks and split gold could not even cause a ripple in front of Zhang Hao.

President Yuehou stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief. It was as if he had witnessed the most incredible sight in the world. In addition to being shocked, he felt endless fear and awe, as if he had witnessed a miracle. He was completely impressed by Zhang Hao's extraordinary strength.

"You...you...are you a human or a ghost?"

The Japanese chairman suddenly remembered something, and his face was filled with fear.

“A few months ago, our chamber of commerce president and a group of high-ranking ninjas mysteriously disappeared. Could it all be your doing?”

Zhang Hao smiled slightly: "That's right, it's me. Now I'll give you a chance to tell me the secret of the Chencang Stone Drums, and I can spare your lives!"

"Hmph, no matter how powerful you are, there's no way you can find out our secrets!"

Zhang Hao shook his head. Too lazy to waste words, he thought for a moment and shot two green beams of light from his eyes, shining into the eyes of the three association leaders.

The three presidents' expressions changed drastically, as if they were tightly bound by invisible threads, turning into soulless puppets with empty, lifeless eyes and stiff smiles on their lips, devoid of any vitality.

Their movements became slow and mechanical, as if controlled by a skilled puppeteer. Every subtle sway revealed a strange harmony, yet they had completely lost control of their own will.

Under this sudden change, they were no longer the powerful leaders in the business world, but became playthings of fate, manipulated by others and powerless to resist.

"Tell me, what exactly is the reason you're fighting over the Chencang Stone Drums?"

As soon as Zhang Hao spoke, the three association presidents vied to answer.

The Japanese chairman replied, "The Chencang Stone Drum contains a map of the Great Xia Kingdom's dragon veins, showing the exact locations of all the dragon veins. If we destroy the Great Xia Kingdom's dragon veins, we will have a chance to occupy Great Xia!"

"Hmph, they really don't know what's good for them."

After all these years, the Japanese devils are still the same, their wicked intentions have not died, and they still dare to covet the land of the Great Xia Kingdom.

Since the Japanese wanted to seize the Chencang Stone Drums for this reason, the Koreans and Vietnamese were probably doing so for the same reason.

After learning the secret of the Chencang Stone Drums, Zhang Hao had no patience to listen to the answers from the Korean and the Yuehou Chamber of Commerce. With a thought, he shot three seeds from his palm, causing the three of them to disappear from this world.

After doing all this, Zhang Hao drove back to the city and returned to the New Moon Hotel.

As Zhang Hao stepped into the night, he slowly entered the ornately decorated gate of the Crescent Hotel.

Upon entering the restaurant, Zhang Hao gathered all his trusted partners.

Inside the room, everyone's eyes were fixed on Zhang Hao, awaiting his next instructions.

"Everyone."

Zhang Hao's voice was steady and powerful, penetrating every corner of the room.

"I have already understood the mystery of the Chencang Stone Drum; it is about the direction of all the dragon veins of the Great Xia Dynasty."

However, the patterns and text on them are very mysterious, and they involve the Five Elements, the Eight Trigrams, and the Qimen Dunjia (a form of divination), which is why everyone was gathered together to decipher them.

"So it's a map showing the flow of the dragon veins of the world. No wonder the Japanese, Koreans, and Vietnamese wanted it so badly. They definitely have ulterior motives."

The fat man was clever; he deduced the purpose of the three merchant guilds from the secrets on the Chencang Stone Drums.

"Uncle, don't worry, we will definitely be able to crack the secret!"

"Don't worry, boss."

After Zhang Hao stated his purpose, everyone began to take action.

However, the knowledge of Qimen Dunjia and the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams is quite profound, and not everyone can understand it.

Wu Tianzhen could only recognize the characters, but she didn't understand their specific meanings.

"I think I'm starting to figure it out!"

Suddenly, Xie Xiaohua said something.

"Little Flower, are you really able to crack this?"

Everyone was thrilled upon hearing this.

Jie Xiaohua, as Er Yuehong's prized student, not only inherited her master's quick wit and wisdom, but also gained a profound understanding of Qimen Dunjia and the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams through her interactions with Qi Tiezui.

It's understandable that he was able to decipher the secrets on the Chencang Stone Drums.

Xie Xiaohua stepped forward and immersed himself alone in front of the ancient stone drum, the candlelight flickering and illuminating his focused and determined figure.

On the stone drums, ancient characters meander like tadpoles. They are not merely a collection of words, but a crystallization of the wisdom of the ancients, hiding profound secrets about dragon veins and miracles.

Jie Xiaohua took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and let her mind sink into a near-meditative state, trying to resonate with these ancient texts.
