Chapter 423 Zhang Tao's Anger
"Minister Zhang, what instructions do you have?"
Lu Hao said with a smile that he used to be very afraid of Lao Zhang, after all, this guy was cunning and powerful. But now, he has also stood up. They are both at the Emperor level and not much different, so he is no longer afraid.
Zhang Tao, on the other end of the phone, naturally noticed Lu Hao's change. He learned from Lü Zhen that Lu Hao might have peak strength, which was within his expectations. After all, he had noticed something was wrong with Lu Hao's mental strength during the Youth Competition. Perhaps he was already close to peak strength at that time. After further training and spending more than a month in the underground cave, it was normal for him to make a breakthrough. However, Zhang Tao still underestimated him. Now he was not an ordinary peak strength, but someone who could reach the fifth level of peak strength.
Unbeknownst to Zhang Tao, his strength had already been seen through by a cat, and Lu Hao was now on par with him.
"Where have you been having fun? Leave this mess for me to clean up—" Zhang Tao said with a complaining tone.
"Hehe, Minister Zhang, I just happened to discover the cult's location, so I took it down while I was at it. The time is ripe for action, and we must first pacify the internal situation before dealing with external threats, so I'll solve the internal problems first, which will reduce your worries."
Lu Hao said with a smile.
"Well, this is a good thing. With fewer cults, we can focus all our remaining resources on the underground caves. So, what is your current strength, and what are you planning to do?"
"Me? I'm still at the peak of the ninth rank. As for why I was able to kill them so quickly, it's because my mental strength is strong, so I was able to kill them fast. As for what's next, I plan to wait until Fang Ping and the others return, then break through in the Demon Capital Cave, kill a large number of ninth-rank enemies, and completely pacify the Demon Capital Cave."
Lu Hao said that he was not lying at all. His cultivation level was indeed still at the peak of the ninth rank, and his spiritual power was also very strong. It was just that his blood and qi were a little bit stronger than those at the peak of the ninth rank.
"The Underground Caves of Shanghai —"
Zhang Tao also fell silent. After all, destroying one cave was no small matter. If they weren't careful, it could cause an uprising in other caves, and the ensuing battle would be far more than just a battle between two caves.
Previously, he had used the King of Zhentian's bet with the King of Huai in the King's Battleground. With Fang Ping and the others there, he won the bet without any surprises. Now Li Zhen is guarding the area. The condition of the bet was a cave. The King of Huai said he would give up a region—could it be that he would choose the Demon City Cave?
It's not necessarily impossible. After all, Lu Hao is a member of Magic Martial Arts Academy, and he's about to advance to the pinnacle. The Magic City Underground Cave is the most suitable place for him. Moreover, Magic Martial Arts Academy has been fighting and hating Tianmen City for 60 years. If they can take over the Magic City Underground Cave, it will be a baptism for Magic Martial Arts Academy. Perhaps after this, more people in Magic Martial Arts Academy will be able to reach the pinnacle. For example, Wu Kuishan, Qin Fengqing, Fang Ping, and Li Changsheng all have a chance.
Moreover, the current state of Magic Martial Arts is becoming increasingly superficial, which is not a good thing.
Since Lu Hao and Wu Kuishan broke through to the ninth rank, coupled with a large supply of resources, although there is a tendency to go down into the underground caves, the overall atmosphere has become much more restless. After the great war, regardless of the outcome, the Magic Martial Arts Academy will usher in a new era, and with Lu Hao's presence, the possibility of defeat is not high.
Zhang Tao's mind was racing. After a while, he said, "I'll discuss this matter with the other leaders of the Third Department after Fang Ping and the others return. Don't let things fall apart on your end then—"
"Thank you, Minister Zhang."
Lu Hao smiled and said that he naturally understood Zhang Tao's meaning. The matter was basically settled. It was called a discussion, but in reality, it was just waiting. Everyone knew that he was a high-ranking official. He was the head of all three departments and four prefectures, and they all listened to Zhang Tao. As for what Zhang Tao said last, it was definitely a sure thing. He was planning to break through to the peak right now. As for the Dao Demon City Cave, he only needed to break through once at home. It wouldn't be a big problem. Anyway, he had the ability to conceal his breath, so no one else could detect Lu Hao's true cultivation level.
"Oh, right, Minister Zhang, there's one more thing. I brought a cat back from the Boundary Lands. Don't be surprised if you run into it—"
Lu Hao said, and the gray cat next to him raised its head when it heard him. Lu Hao gestured for it to continue eating, saying that he would take care of it.
"A grey cat?"
"Yes, Minister Zhang is truly a brilliant strategist; you knew before I even said anything."
"Nonsense! I heard from Lü Zhen that the Azure Cat is suspected to be a supreme demonic beast, and an ancient relic of unknown age. You're bringing it to the mortal realm right now—"
Zhang Tao roared, he truly hadn't expected Lu Hao to bring Cang Mao back; he knew Cang Mao was a top-tier expert!
With its unparalleled destructive power, if Cangmao were to cause any random destruction on Earth, it would be all over. Moreover, Cangmao is an ancient relic from who knows how many years ago, and who knows what kind of conspiracy it might have for coming to Earth.
Meanwhile, on Lu Hao's side, the Azure Cat, sensing Zhang Tao's ill intentions, brandished its claws at the phone as if it wanted to beat the person on the other end. "That fake Emperor is really despicable! How dare he doubt me! What's wrong with me just wanting to eat something good?"
"Minister Zhang, please rest assured. You don't know me well enough. If there is any danger, I will bring it to Earth. There will be absolutely no danger. Although Cangmao is a top-tier cat, it is harmless to humans and animals. It loves food and cats don't kill people. You can rest assured. If you are still worried, you can ask the Heavenly King. Cangmao is the darling of heaven and earth, so naturally it won't do anything to us humans."
Lu Hao explained.
"When are you free? Come over with Cang Mao. At least let me see Mao and get to know her."
Zhang Tao said helplessly. After all, Lu Hao had already brought the cat back, and according to what Lü Zhen said, the Azure Cat probably wouldn't do anything to the human race. Moreover, Lu Hao had also brought up the Heavenly King of Zhen, which meant that the old man definitely knew about the Azure Cat. Sure enough, he guessed correctly. That old man was an old relic, but he was probably on the side of humans. It was also difficult for Zhang Tao, as he didn't know much and had to deduce from various details.
This kid probably doesn't even know he's already reached the fifth level of the Heavenly Triple ...
Zhang Tao thought viciously.
"Okay, Minister Zhang, I'll bring Cangmao to see you later—"
After chatting with Zhang Tao for a couple more minutes, Zhang Tao finally hung up the phone.
"Let's go. I'll take you here to eat again when we have time later. I'm going into seclusion to break through to a higher level, so please protect me during that time."
Lu Hao watched as the cat finished eating what was on its paws and said.
"Okay, you must come next time! And that fake human emperor, he's so mean, he tried to hit the cat, he was so fierce, you go and hit him."
The gray cat puffed out its cheeks and said.
"Alright, I'll get revenge for you when I have time."
"You're fierce, but you're such a good person."
Lu Hao smiled speechlessly. He had received so many "friend zone" cards from Cang Mao that day. It was only because Cang Mao couldn't read his mind that he would have thought he was a bad person long ago.
