"Hmph, who knows what Tang Feng is thinking? He probably got his brain damaged by the underground cave, that's why he's spouting these nonsensical things," Zhang Tao said without batting an eye. "So what if he likes to eavesdrop? If you ask me, you should just admit it."
Nan Yunyue, standing beside her, laughed and said, "It's all baseless accusations. What's there to admit—"
Feeling the strange looks around him, Zhang Tao coughed lightly, glanced around, and then flew towards the banquet below. After Zhang Tao left, many grandmasters couldn't help but laugh. Everyone knew about Zhang Tao's little quirk, but no one dared to say it openly. Unexpectedly, Tang Feng blurted it out so innocently today: "What's going on? Why did Big Lion confront Minister Zhang?"
Lu Hao didn't bother to hide his intentions when transmitting his voice. After all, it wasn't anything important; it was best treated as a joke to lighten everyone's mood. "The day before yesterday, Fang Ping came back, and Big Lion wanted to embarrass him, so he dismissed everyone. Although Fang Ping handled it, you know what kind of person he is. The next day, rumors spread throughout the school that Big Lion couldn't sleep at night and liked to eat stinky tofu. The worst part was that a video was leaked. Afterwards, Big Lion couldn't get an explanation from Fang Ping, so he thought it was Zhang Tao's fault. A crooked head leads to a crooked tail. Yesterday..." "We all thought he was just joking when he said he was going to confront Minister Zhang today, but the Lion really is brave..." Qin Fengqing said with a smile. He didn't expect to see such a good show today. "I would call the Lion the bravest man," Lu Hao said with a smile. Who would have thought that the cause of the matter was a box of stinky tofu in the middle of the night? The surrounding masters were also laughing. After all, if you say that this matter is related to Zhang Tao, it is indeed a little bit, but if you want to delve deeper, it is not really related. Zhang Tao was just implicated. It can only be said that Zhang Tao's little habit of eavesdropping is really deeply rooted in people's hearts.
Zhang Tao, who was below, naturally knew that he had been implicated, and his face darkened even more.
Lu Hao and his group stopped watching from the air and went down to the scene. There were more than two hundred grandmasters who came to Magic Martial Arts Academy this time, many of whom were called over by the government. After all, the Magic Martial Arts Academy's manpower was not enough to launch the upcoming Demon City Underground War and the War to Destroy the Underground Cave.

Banquet venue.
A group of grandmasters chatted and laughed, reminiscing about past battles, a gathering they had only managed to achieve once in a long time.
Today's banquet features meat from demonic beasts, and the atmosphere is so rich in energy that it's almost atomized. A wealthy and powerful individual, in order to highlight his grandmaster banquet, brought along an energy stone device and directly burned the energy stone to release energy, making the huge banquet hall look like a fairyland!
Fruits, those are all high-energy fruits. If it weren't for saving face, the masters would have been ready to devour dozens of plates of them!
Lu Hao didn't go to talk to those grandmasters. Although he had fought some of them, he wasn't very familiar with them. He went to Cangmao and saw Cangmao eating non-stop. A young man was feeding Cangmao, trying to get some information from it. The young man was Qin Fengqing. After learning that Lu Hao had brought back a supreme cat, and an ancient relic from the Realm Land, he had been eager to get some information from Cangmao. Unfortunately, he hadn't been able to run into Cangmao before. Now that he finally had the chance, he naturally wouldn't let it go.
"Old Qin, why haven't I seen you so attentive before? —"
Lu Hao said with a smile, teasingly.
"How can they be the same? Seeing how quickly you've improved, I don't want to fall behind, so I came to see if there are any opportunities."
Qin Fengqing said with a blank and helpless expression.
"Then you shouldn't have come up here with that stupid cat. It's forgotten everything. You should have fawned over me instead; maybe one day I'll be in a good mood and point out an opportunity for you."
"You fierce cat! I'm not a stupid cat, I'm the smartest cat!"
The gray cat, who was eating, retorted.
"Yes, you're the smartest cat, alright, keep eating," Lu Hao said, stroking the gray cat's big head.
"Sigh, I didn't want it to be like this either. You've improved too fast. When I was at the third rank, you were at the third rank. Now I'm a grandmaster, and you're about to reach the pinnacle. If we don't find some other opportunities, I'm afraid we won't even have the chance to fight on the same battlefield as each other in the future. Besides, I know my own situation. I'm not some resurrected martial artist. I can't compare to Old Wang and the others. They're almost at the Golden Body Forging stage and will soon reach the eighth rank." Qin Fengqing sighed and shook his head.
"Hey, you silly goose—you seem to have been in contact with someone—like someone I know well! Hmm—why did they contact you?"
Cangmao said after hearing Qin Fengqing's words.
"Lu Hao, what does Senior Cangmao mean?"
Qin Fengqing didn't care about what Cangmao meant by "silly." What he cared about was who he had been in contact with, or was it some kind of ancient relic? Could this be his destiny? To become stronger, Qin Fengqing said he was willing to do anything.
Lu Hao didn't expect Qin Fengqing to have stumbled upon something unexpected, actually getting Cang Mao to reveal some information. After all, Qin Fengqing was originally destined to be the chosen one. From birth or for some time afterward, he was targeted by the Human Emperor to become the third generation of seed guardian after the Human Emperor, and was also the original chosen one of this great force. Unfortunately, the emergence of Fang Ping, an anomaly, caused Qin Fengqing's trajectory as the chosen one to deviate.
"Old Qin, your cultivation level isn't high enough yet. Don't think about these things. Remember, don't go in contact with those ancient beings. Those ancient beings are at least at the pinnacle of cultivation. They might leave hidden doors in your body without you even knowing it. Your body might not even be your own anymore. Wait until your cultivation level is stronger. When you want to come into contact with anything, I'll take you there. That way, you'll have some protection. If you go on your own, you might become someone else's puppet."
Lu Hao didn't say anything else, but warned Qin Fengqing not to contact other old fogies now. Although the Human Emperor would definitely come looking for Qin Fengqing in the end, he probably wouldn't need Qin Fengqing then, and Lu Hao could sweep everything away.
"Okay, I understand——" Qin Fengqing nodded. He had a good quality: he was able to listen to advice. Since Lu Hao had told him not to make contact now, although he wanted to, he ultimately suppressed his impulsive feelings. After all, he didn't want to become someone else's puppet. He wanted to become stronger, not lose himself.
"Be mindful of your actions. I'll give you a set of trump cards later. If you encounter any uncertainties or face significant danger, just use them."
Lu Hao said that he planned to take back his parents' spiritual energy clones after the Demon Capital Cave was pacified and replace them. After all, the previous ones were made by him at the ninth rank, which were fine for dealing with ninth-rank beings, but not for those at the peak. Now, with one of his spiritual energy clones, he might not even have a problem fighting an Emperor-level being.
The pinnacle is a matter of one strike to kill.
We'll also prepare one for Wang Jinyang and one for Qin Fengqing, since he's going to enter the Forbidden Sea to find the pinnacle, and we don't know how long that will take.
