I made plans to conquer the heroine in advance, and the protagonist was dumbfounded!

The disciple walked up to Li Hao, took out a small box from his waist, and said respectfully, "This was specially prepared by our Holy Lord. We are passing it to you as a token of our appreciation."

Li Hao took the box, opened it and took a look. Inside was a ninth-level demon core.

"This is?"

The disciple replied, "This belongs to the demon king who hid in the Demon Emperor's cave abode in Taidong Mountain. The Holy Lord has heard of your great reputation and believes that you are about to be promoted to a Core Venerable. This item may be useful."

Li Hao looked at Wu Fuping, then closed the box and said with a smile, "Then I'll accept it. I didn't expect your Holy Lord to be so polite."

The disciple responded, "The Holy Lord said that you are a person favored by the Heavenly Dao. If you can experience a few more thunder tribulations, you may be able to attain enlightenment sooner. In the future, you may even be able to open the path to the divine realm. The Holy Lord said that helping you is only natural."

Wu Fuping listened, feeling a little sour. "Oh, my father cares so much about my senior brother even though he hasn't even met him. Didn't he ask you to bring me a message? He's so biased!"

Li Hao shook his head and smiled without saying anything.

The disciple of the Holy Land was helpless and reported again: "The Holy Lord did ask us to bring you a message."

"Really!" Wu Fuping exclaimed in surprise, "Tell me quickly."

The disciples smiled and said in unison, "Don't run around. Follow us back to the holy land!"

"Hmph!" Wu Fuping snorted lightly, but still stood up and prepared to say goodbye.

"Brother Li, Principal Zhang, I left the Holy Land without telling my father. Now that the Holy Land needs me, I have to hurry back."

Li Hao nodded in understanding, stepped forward, and gently tapped Wu Fuping's forehead with the handle of his fan. He smiled and said, "Don't forget to continue your cultivation when you return to the Holy Land. Don't expect me to see you carrying a fish around looking for a fire to grill it again the next time I see you."

"Brother!" Wu Fuping stamped her feet in anger when she heard Li Hao mention her embarrassing story. "That's just the fun of life!"

"That's right." Li Hao smiled. "After all, who doesn't like delicious food?" Seeing him say in a roundabout way that she was a foodie, Wu Fuping's cheeks turned slightly red, but she was too lazy to refute and continued to say goodbye to Principal Zhang.

Chen Dehai naturally understood and said respectfully, "Of course I understand. I hope you will come and visit again next time when you are free."

Before leaving, Wu Fuping hesitated to speak: "Brother, I didn't have time to say goodbye to Senior Sister Fenghuang. She is my first close friend. Please tell her for me..."

Li Hao nodded: "Don't worry."

The group had left, and Li Hao sat in the office with a slightly heavy expression on his face.

Chen Dehai then asked, "What do you think of the Demon King of Taidong Mountain?"

Li Hao smiled slightly: "From a geographical point of view, where is Taidong Mountain closest?"

Chen Dehai recalled for a moment, frowned and said, "Western Wasteland?"

Li Hao shrugged. "So, even if it's discovered in the most dangerous place, the people in the Extreme Holy Land and the military will only think it has fled to the Western Wilderness. Who would have thought it might still be in its homeland?"

Chen Dehai felt that this made sense, and his worries dissipated a little. He took out his computer and prepared to notify Wang Guyue.

On the virtual screen, Wang Guyue's expression turned serious when he heard this.

"I will immediately have General Wu investigate the entire Western Wasteland."

Li Hao said calmly, "Don't waste your time. With such a big commotion, the Demon King would have already run away."

The room fell silent for a moment.

Wang Guyue asked respectfully, "Then please follow your advice."

Li Hao then stood up, walked to the window and looked down.

Outside, a group of students in martial arts uniforms were taking a spiritual power class, taught by Yu Keli.

In the square, Yu Keli stood at the podium, wearing a windbreaker and with a stern face. In her palms were two energy balls emitting light green light.

Her voice echoed throughout the square.

After crossing the threshold of warrior, each of you must learn how to control psychic energy - how to awaken the psychic energy in your body and how to best exert its power.

Sister An raised her foot as she spoke, her long orange hair fluttering in the wind. Her face, as hard and ruthless as black iron, smiled slightly towards Li Hao who was high above.

A look of confusion appeared on Yu Keli's face.

Li Hao withdrew his gaze and thought to himself: The Demon King of Dongshan must have escaped by now.

I heard that the Wang family has a huge underground secret room. Why don’t we send someone down to check it out and see if there is any reaction to the powerful Demon King’s energy.

Wang Guyue understood immediately: "Sir, do you suspect He Meng is colluding with them?"

"What else can we do?" Li Hao put his hands in his pockets and said with a relaxed look, "Humans can't order ferocious beasts to do anything, but what about the Demon King?"

As the fog gradually dissipated, Wang Guyue realized the seriousness of the situation and solemnly bowed, "Sir, are you saying that He Meng is in cahoots with them?"

Li Hao smiled slightly: "That's a good word. I like it very much."

Wang Guyue immediately responded, "I understand. I'll report this immediately." Chen Dehai turned off his laptop and gazed solemnly out the window. "If the Demon King of Mount Dadong truly joins forces with the Wang family, the underlying crisis will be immense. After three hundred years of peaceful coexistence, I'm afraid this rule will be broken."

"The storm is coming."

Li Hao looked into the distance, his hands in his pockets, his eyes narrowed, and he hummed softly:

"If the wind comes, I will block the wind; if the rain is about to fall, I will block the rain." After experiencing two lives, he has never been afraid of anything.

Li Hao turned around and was about to leave, but just as he reached the door, it was pushed open.

Yu Keli stood at the door, a hint of hesitation flashing in her deep eyes.

"Student Li, I need your help with something."

The two came to the rooftop and overlooked the mountains surrounding Tufa City.

"Tufa City is indeed surrounded by mountains."

Li Hao held a bottle of spiritual energy drink in one hand, twisted it lightly, and the lid popped open with a "bang". He tilted his head back and took a sip. The cold drink slid down his throat, feeling very cool.

He smiled slightly, looking somewhat carefree: "Tell me, what do you want from me?"

Yu Keli stood beside Li Hao, wearing a windbreaker and standing with her head lowered, stroking the mask on her face with her slender fingers, looking a little dazed.

There was a hint of hesitation in her usual cold voice: "I want to join the military."

Li Hao raised an eyebrow, his face showing no surprise. He calmly took a sip of his drink and said, "Well, why tell me? You could have just gone to Wang Guyue."

Yu Keli smiled, a rare smile. She opened the lid of her drink and said, "Mr. Li, stop kidding. As the highest commander of Jiangnan District, do you think Wang Guyue would just listen to anyone?"

"That's not certain."

Yu Keli was slightly stunned.

Li Hao put one hand in his pocket, tilted his head and smiled, "Everyone has their own status, you just didn't reveal your identity."

"I see."

Yu Keli frowned slightly, chuckled, took a sip of the drink, flattened the can with her fair fingers, then took off her mask and put it on the balcony, breathing a sigh of relief.

"I've worn the mask for so long, it's time to take it off."
