Xiao Zhao naturally stood at Zhou Hao's side. Looking at Third Martial Uncle's fake smile, she wanted to punch him twice, but she could only smile on his face: "Third Martial Uncle, I haven't seen you these past few days. How's the business over there?
This was the disciple of the sect master, and was also one of the people who understood the situation in the Devil Cult the most. For her to say such words, it proved that she was the person who had contributed the most to the Devil Cult.
After all, she was a disciple of the Master of Devil Cult, so the positions of the two parties were different. In fact, even if she did not say it, everyone knew in their hearts that one of them had the most influence, and could threaten the position of the Sect Leader. But no matter what, no one could ignore her own contributions.
He was secretly pleased in his heart, but he still smiled: "Xiao Zhao, you really know how to speak, how can the greatest merits count as me, only the Sect Leader and the Senior Sister are the greatest contributors. If it weren't for her leading us, our Devil Cult would not be able to prosper like it is now, as your disciple, you must remember her well!"
Zhou Hao thought in his heart. This Third Martial Uncle was indeed a smart person, and his skin was also very thick, to actually compare himself to the Sect Leader, this kind of comparison was simply over and above.
It was a pity that the current Devil Cult was not as strong as it was in the past and that the authority of the Master of Devil Cult was limited to the lowest. Otherwise, not to mention the Third Martial Uncle, even the elders of the Master of Devil Cult would not dare to speak like this.
Facing her own Third Martial Uncle, even though Xiao Zhao wanted to refute, she did not know how to say it. After all, only those who wanted to know the profoundness of his words would be able to understand it.
Fortunately, someone interrupted us at this time: "Third Junior Brother is right, our current great situation with Devil Cult is all thanks to the Sect Leader and Junior Sister, if not for her leading, we would not be able to fight now, as for the rest of us, we should contribute to the sect, don't you think so, Third Junior Brother?"
The person who spoke had just walked in, and he happened to hear them speak, so he could not help but mention it, this man was in his forties, and looked to be slightly older than Third Martial Uncle, but he was extremely spirited, like a 30 year old middle-aged man. His eyes were staring at Third Martial Uncle, and the corners of his mouth curled into a strange smile.
Seeing this person, Third Martial Uncle immediately said respectfully: "Eldest senior brother, you've come. You went so far to discuss business, yet you are able to come back. It is truly surprising."
Xiao Zhao followed along the Third Martial Uncle as she said respectfully, "Elder Master Uncle, you're here. This is our distinguished guest, Zhou Hao." Then, he said to Zhou Hao, "Zhou Hao, this is my Elder Master Uncle."
Zhou Hao courteously cupped his hands and said, "Elder Master Uncle, I have long heard of the Sect Leader and Xiao Zhao mentioning you. After seeing you today, your victory at meeting was truly famous, I did not expect that you had already broken through to the First Rated Realm."
The Third Martial Uncle and Xiao Zhao's hearts shook, they did not have enough strength to see the situation in the Elder Master Uncle, but how could Zhou Hao, as a Supreme Expert, not be able to see the level of the Elder Master Uncle's cultivation? Originally, his Devil Cult was only at the peak of three, and because of that the three major powers could easily stand on three feet in one go, but now that the Elder Master Uncle's cultivation had reached a breakthrough, the situation would change.
Xiao Zhao knew Zhou Hao's true strength, and even if Elder Master Uncle's cultivation made a breakthrough, it wouldn't affect her much. She believed that with Zhou Hao's strength, he would be able to deal with two Protectors and the Elder Master Uncle without any problems. She knew how powerful Zhou Hao was, and even if he was stupid, she knew how big of a gap there was between the Supreme Expert and the quasi-pinnacle.
The Third Martial Uncle was different. He himself was unable to break through, but now that his Senior Brother had reached the peak of perfection and his competitor had become stronger, it would be very disadvantageous to him. He was thinking about how he should deal with the current situation in the future.
At first, he had only heard that Zhou Hao was an expert in the art of medicine, but now that he had just broken through, and levelled up again, it would take a period of time before he did not place any importance on Zhou Hao. But now, he felt that there was something different about Zhou Hao, that the person who reached this level of strength could only be someone stronger than him, someone with special abilities.
After all, he was just a little over twenty years old. Even if he had started training since birth, how could such a person be stronger than him in less than twenty years? After all, even if he was not a genius in martial arts, he was not far from it.
Thinking up to here, Elder Master Uncle narrowed his eyes as he looked at Zhou Hao and said, "Mr. Zhou Hao, I have also heard of your name for a long time. I also feel that meeting you will make you even more famous, young and promising!"
With that, he turned to Third Martial Uncle and said: "Third junior brother, I am only going to Big Horse, and have only been here for a few hours. Since there is such an important matter to attend the school assembly, how can I not rush back, furthermore, it is said that the Hong Kong Stock God has come, so I will definitely come over to take a look."
If someone didn't understand Elder Master Uncle, they would definitely think that he was some kind of an easy-going man from the north, and the image of the shrewd man from the south, the Third Martial Uncle, was in stark contrast. However, Zhou Hao knew that both the Elder Master Uncle and the Third Martial Uncle were different from the surface, otherwise, they wouldn't have become the two people with the greatest power.
On the surface, the Elder Master Uncle and the Third Martial Uncle looked as close as brothers. However, everyone knew that if Xiao Zhao's master was not at the moment Sect Leader, the two of them would have felt the need to use their white blades to cut through the red knife.
When the Elder Master Uncle arrived, all the disciples outside were almost all gathered. Everyone knew that at this time, the Master of Devil Cult would arrive too, although it was already past the point of decorum, but in the end the Sect Leader appeared, and it was just like a formality.
These disciples were all young men and women around the age of twenty. Judging from their strength, they were all at the peak of the second-rate realm and would soon break through to the first-rate realm. As for the four people in front, their strength had already reached the first-rate realm.
Zhou Hao knew that these people should be the forces of the Master of Devil Cult. Although the two protectors at the front could not be considered their people, but at the moment, there was no internal strife, and they were still Master of Devil Cult's private bodyguards. If they were to encounter a foreign land, they would definitely spare no effort to protect the Master of Devil Cult.
When he saw Master of Devil Cult yesterday, he had the impression that he was a middle-aged noble woman. Although her demeanor was elegant, he did not have the domineering aura that a Master of Devil Cult should have.
But now that he had seen Master of Devil Cult, Zhou Hao finally understood why Xiao Zhao's master was able to sit in this position for nearly twenty years. Just by looking at her imposing manner, she was already strong enough to suppress everyone present.
Other than Zhou Hao, all the other people had respectful faces, just that they did not know whether they were truly respectful, putting on an act, or under the pressure of the Sect Leader, but no matter what, from the surface, the dignity of the Master of Devil Cult was untouchable.
"Welcome to the sect leader's defense." Just when Zhou Hao was making his prediction about the Master of Devil Cult, everyone seemed to have discussed beforehand, all of them bowed and spoke in unison. In the end, only Zhou Hao was left standing amongst the crowd with some awkwardness.
Fortunately, Master of Devil Cult waved her hand and said, "There's no need to be so courteous. Everyone, come from afar and sit down." As she spoke, she also saw Zhou Hao standing there by himself, laughing inwardly. However, she sat down on her seat with a face as heavy as water.
At this time, no one dared to disobey Master of Devil Cult's orders and obediently returned to their seats. Elder Master Uncle and Third Martial Uncle sat opposite to Zhou Hao, and it was possible that Xiao Zhao had purposely arranged for them to be seated here, as they didn't have much of an overall strength, and Zhou Hao was the first to be seated, so he guessed that people would not be displeased with his arrangements. After all, Zhou Hao was not someone from the Devil Cult, so sitting here was already a little inappropriate.
Master of Devil Cult also did not say anything, she only swept her gaze across everyone's faces. She did not use any inner force, nor did she have any sort of sharp gaze, but those that she saw through all felt like they were seen through.
Amongst them, there were a few who bravely looked at Master of Devil Cult to express their magnanimity, and among them, there were Third Martial Uncle and Elder Master Uncle. However, Zhou Hao believed that it was not because they were magnanimous, but because they had enough strength to fight against Master of Devil Cult, and were not afraid of her gaze at all.
Especially for the Elder Master Uncle, ever since his martial arts cultivation had risen, he had been able to resist the pressure that the Master of Devil Cult was constantly under. This was to make use of this opportunity to let the Master of Devil Cult know that his strength had improved.
This kind of performance indeed gave rise to an unexpected reaction. After looking at the Elder Master Uncle, the Kneading Cult Master said with slight surprise: "Eldest Brother, it has been a while since we last met. Your cultivation has progressed so much, seems like you are already at the same level as me."
The Eldest Senior Brother was secretly pleased in his heart, but he still revealed a respectful smile on his face and said, "Junior Sister Sect Leader, you really know how to joke around. Your cultivation is hundreds of times deeper than mine, and I have only just entered the sect.
"Eldest Brother is too modest. You being able to break through the bottleneck is truly a matter to be congratulated on. In the future, our Devil Cult will increase by another quasi-Supreme Expert. This is truly a joyous matter." Master of Devil Cult shook her head and praised Elder Master Uncle.
If one did not consider the internal conflict, the addition of one quasi-Supreme Expert for Devil Cult would greatly contribute to the strength growth of the entire sect. At this time, Master of Devil Cult was truly happy, if the conflicts today were to be resolved, eldest senior brother would focus on Devil Cult and in the future, there would be one more quasi-Supreme Expert.
Even though he clearly knew that was coaxing him, he could not help but believe that he was speaking the truth. No wonder this person had such a huge influence, it was all because of his charisma, and was an extremely good at handling people. Those who followed him, would probably just give up all hope.
After Master of Devil Cult had finished speaking, she turned towards Third Martial Uncle and said with a low voice: "Third Junior Brother, Senior Brother has trained hard for so many years, and has already reached the quasi-Extreme Stage. You are still stuck at the first-rate realm, so you should redouble your efforts.
She was a soft-hearted person, even if she wanted to deal with Third Martial Uncle, she still planned to give him a chance. If Third Martial Uncle listened to her suggestion and could concentrate on researching martial arts, Zhou Hao wouldn't have to deal with him today, and it would turn into a happy situation.
However, how could Third Martial Uncle think of the meaning of Master of Devil Cult now? Hearing her words, he immediately laughed and said: "What Senior Sister said is right, I have been busy with business all these years, and have even delayed my cultivation. Once I have been busy for this period of time, I will definitely put in more effort to cultivate, and break through the bottleneck as soon as possible."
Since he was not willing to give up the authority in his hands and still wanted to continue developing, then don't blame yourself for being impolite. Although he said those words in a nice way, everyone knew that it was just an excuse, and after this meeting, Third Martial Uncle would definitely increase his training speed, and anything could be said about money, but martial arts were useless.
It could be said that the Master of Devil Cult was simply too kind. How could anyone be at ease if a person like this were to become the Sect Leader of the Devil Cult? At this moment, he was even more determined to let Xiao Zhao become the Master of Devil Cult.
Elder Master Uncle and Third Martial Uncle were people that the Master of Devil Cult valued more, but as for the others, she did not neglect them, and greeted them one by one. Recently, her performance was good, and she praised them, and for those that did not have a good performance, she urged them to do so.
From this point, could tell that the Devil Cult had already improved according to the times. This made Zhou Hao think of how government agencies meet, he just did not know if they had this before, or because they had learned it from government departments.
There were a lot of people participating in the Devil Cult, even if they were to ask every single one of them, it would take over an hour. Master of Devil Cult was obviously already used to it, she did not seem to be tired, but Zhou Hao was bored and wanted to sleep.
Fortunately, the main matter today was related to him and he had not fallen asleep yet. Master of Devil Cult's expression turned serious as she said: "We have summoned everyone here today, and I believe all of you have a good idea. We specially invited Mr. Zhou Hao, the Stock God of Hong Kong, to come here to discuss something important with him."
