Once the dragon had terrified all of Wang's security personnel, it became much easier to control them.

Zhang Hao took out the restoration plan of Gutongjing and, referring to it to the problematic areas, instructed the dragon to drive them to repair them.

Meanwhile, he, Wu Tianzhen, Fatty, Huo Xiuxiu, Xie Xiaohua, and Zhang Qilin released all the genius teenagers who had been captured by the Wang family at the base.

However, the rescue wasn't in vain, and they themselves couldn't escape either.

Since there was a shortage of manpower for the restoration of Gutongjing, Zhang Hao asked them to work with the Wang family to restore Gutongjing.

……

One week later, the restoration of Gutongjing was completed.

Several hundred security personnel from the Wang family gathered together.

The fat man looked at the person in front of him and asked, "Brother Zhang Hao, what should we do with these people?"

Zhang Hao smiled. Since they were from the Wang family, there was no need to keep them. With a thought, he activated his sacrificial ability.

The sky above his head seemed to have been torn open, and a huge black vortex appeared out of thin air, like the gaping maw of an abyss, slowly opening and swallowing all the light and sound around it.

This vortex is not only enormous, but also contains a terrifying suction force, as if it could devour everything in the world.

The Wang family's security personnel, those well-trained and well-equipped guards, appeared so small and powerless in the face of this force.

They struggled in terror, trying to escape the cursed area, but all their efforts were in vain.

The vortex seemed to have a life of its own, precisely locking onto each target and sucking them one by one into the endless darkness.

Screams, shouts, the clanging of metal... at this moment, all sounds were swallowed by the vortex, leaving only deathly silence.

Wu Tianzhen, Fatty, and the others had already witnessed Zhang Hao's sacrifices several times and were no longer surprised.

Although Zhang Hao has never admitted it, everyone knows that it was Zhang Hao who made the commotion, otherwise why would the suction force not work on them but only on the enemies?

As time went on, the suction force of the black vortex gradually weakened until it stopped rotating completely.

But subtle changes began to occur at the center of the vortex. A bulge slowly rose, as if some kind of creature was being gestated within it, preparing to hatch.

The air was filled with a mixture of blood and antiquity, sending chills down one's spine.

Suddenly, the center of the vortex began to change, and five bright red spheres, each the size of a ping-pong ball, slowly emerged. They were crystal clear, like dewdrops just emerging in the morning light, or like the brightest stars in the night sky, radiating a dazzling, vibrant red light.

The light not only illuminated the surroundings, but also seemed to ignite the air, causing the temperature to rise sharply.

A look of disbelief flashed in Zhang Hao's eyes, and he almost instinctively blurted out, "Qilin blood!"

The last sacrifice yielded 3 drops of Qilin blood, significantly boosting the evolution progress of the Qilin bloodline. Unexpectedly, this time, the item that appeared from the imaginary space was also Qilin blood, and even more—5 drops. Even without triggering a critical hit, 5 drops of Qilin blood can still grant 500 points of Qilin bloodline evolution progress.

As the distance closed, Zhang Hao could clearly feel a violent energy overflowing from the sphere, permeating every inch of his skin, as if his whole body was being roasted.

"this?"

The fat man recognized the Qilin Blood that suddenly appeared in the air. The last time this thing appeared, he tried to touch it with his hand, but he was burned as soon as he got close.

This thing may look nice, but it actually has an extremely high temperature, and ordinary people cannot get close to it at all.

So even though he really wanted it, the fat man didn't dare get close this time, since this thing could even melt metal.

Xie Xiaohua and Huo Xiuxiu hadn't been traveling with Zhang Hao and the others before, so they didn't know the power of the Qilin Blood. When they saw the treasure that suddenly appeared in mid-air, they couldn't help but approach it.

Wu Tianzhen grabbed the two of them, saying, "Don't go over there, be careful not to get burned."

The two looked shocked upon hearing this: "Naive, are you saying the temperature rise is because of those spheres?"

"Yes, none of us should touch it except for my uncle. That thing can melt an entrenching tool instantly."

Wu Tianzhen's mention of Xie Xiaohua only made Huo Xiuxiu and the other woman even more shocked.

"You mean your uncle's body can withstand temperatures higher than steel?"

"Yes."

Zhang Hao was very excited to see that he had obtained Qilin blood through the sacrifice. He stepped forward and caught the falling Qilin blood with his hands, then put it into his storage space.

As soon as he put the Qilin blood inside, the surrounding temperature dropped sharply, returning to the same level as before.

"Alright, the Wang family has been dealt with."

Upon hearing this, the surrounding crowd looked at Zhang Hao in horror. There were hundreds of people just now, but they had all disappeared in just a few seconds.

Not only that, but it's all done so easily; such people are truly terrifying.

"Woooooooo..."

Just then, the wind picked up again.

The music then began to play in everyone's ears.

After the restoration of Gutongjing, the music began to flow smoothly.

Zhang Hao, Wu Tianzhen, Fatty, Huo Xiuxiu, Xie Xiaohua, and Zhang Qilin all silently fell silent, listening intently to the music played in Gutongjing, trying to unravel the secrets hidden within.

The music lasted for more than ten minutes in total.

After it stopped, Xie Xiaohua's expression turned serious.

"Little Flower, what's wrong?"

"I have deciphered the secret of the ancient Tongjing music, but I don't know if I should reveal it!"

"Xiaohua, what are you being so coy about? It's just a secret!"

The fat man offered his advice nonchalantly.

Xie Xiaohua shook her head: "What would you do if you knew in advance that the end of the world was coming?"

"What else can I do? Just let it be. I can't stop it anyway, so I might as well live each day to the fullest."

"But……"

Not knowing what the secret was, Xie Xiaohua seemed conflicted, as if he would rather not know the secret at all.

"Xiaohua, just tell me directly. Actually, I can guess the general idea even if you don't tell me."

After hearing Xiaohua ask the fat man such a question, Zhang Hao could roughly guess that the secret hidden in the music was related to the god in Kunlun Mountain.

Xie Xiaohua took a deep breath, her eyes filled with both determination and worry, and slowly spoke:

"The music of ancient Tongjing is actually an ancient prophecy or warning."

It is not just a melody, but also a harbinger of the future.

According to my interpretation, this piece of music hints at a major event that is about to occur.

"Little Flower, stop keeping me in suspense and tell me quickly, what major event is about to happen?"

The fat man asked impatiently.

The others around also listened intently, very curious about the purpose of the ancients in going to great lengths and expending a lot of manpower and resources to build the ancient city of Tongjing into a giant musical instrument.

Another question is why the Wang family came to sabotage the restoration of Gutongjing.
