Urban God-level Youth

Qin Hao stood on the platform and looked at Han Lin, saying, "Didn't you just want me and my friend to kneel? Now you kneel and apologize, and I can spare your life."

Han Lin's expression was uncertain. If he were to fight on stage, he would most likely die at Qin Hao's hands, but kneeling and apologizing was also something he couldn't do; after all, he had the Green Cloud Sect backing him.

Mao Yunlong looked at Du Qinghao and said, "Du, let's drop this matter. Please speak on my behalf, and I owe you one."

Seeing Mao Yunlong say this, Du Qinghao could only reply, "I'm not that familiar with Mr. Qin, but I'll do my best."

"Then I leave it to you, Mr. Du." Mao Yunlong smiled slightly.

Du Qinghao flew up to the platform and said to Qin Hao, "Mr. Qin, for my sake, let's drop this matter. A step back for both parties is good for everyone."

Qin Hao said indifferently, "Since Mr. Du has put it this way, I naturally have to give you face. Let's drop it. But if it happens again, I will spare no one."

Just now, Du Qinghao didn't ask for someone from the Green Cloud Sect to plead, which already gave Qin Hao face; now Qin Hao also gave him a bit of face.

He had already killed Su Chen of the Green Cloud Sect, revealing his power to everyone. Now choosing not to make further fuss not only gave Du Qinghao face but also showed his prowess to others.

"Thank you, Mr. Qin. Please, Mr. Qin, take the main seat." Du Qinghao smiled and said.

Qin Hao flew down from the platform, and now no one dared to underestimate him. A late-stage Grandmaster Realm who could instantly defeat an early-stage Heavenly Human Realm disciple from the Green Cloud Sect. His combat strength was terrifying.

Among all those present, except for a few top-tier geniuses, no one else could do it.

"Mr. Qin, and this young lady, please take the main seat as well." Du Qinghao smiled at Qin Hao and the Ye Lingyi next to him.

Qin Hao slightly nodded and led Ye Lingyi to the innermost seat.

His purpose for coming here tonight was to see if there were any people worth befriending. Currently, Du Qinghao seemed to be a person who handled things with discretion. Whether they could form a deeper friendship would depend on the future.

Mao Yunlong said to Han Lin, "Why not get out quickly? Do you not find it shameful to stay here?"

Han Lin dared not say anything: "Yes, Mr. Mao." Then he left dejectedly.

If not for Mao Yunlong pleading, he wouldn't have escaped death tonight, which he understood.

Inside, around the round table, Du Qinghao and a few others sat back down, but now the table included Qin Hao and Ye Lingyi.

Ye Lingyi never imagined she would be seated here, among the top sects and royal dynasties' young geniuses — something she had never dared to dream of before.

All of this was because of Qin Hao beside her.

Du Qinghao smiled and said, "I was just about to mention Mr. Qin to everyone. I've met Mr. Qin for the first time myself, but I've heard of his achievements more than once."

Nangong Yuya, Mao Yunlong, and several others curiously looked at Du Qinghao, eager to know about Qin Hao's feats.

Du Qinghao smiled and said, "A few days ago, there was a battle in Jianglan City. Mr. Qin, with his late-stage Grandmaster Realm strength, killed a Heavenly Human Realm Peak expert, which caused a sensation throughout Jianglan City. The news also reached me, and when Mr. Qin's group came to Tiandi City, I personally sent an invitation."

Upon hearing this, Mao Yunlong, Nangong Yuya, and the others were shocked. Late-stage Grandmaster Realm defeating Heavenly Human Realm Peak?

Are you kidding me?

Their first reaction was disbelief, as even they weren't confident they could do it.

But Du Qinghao had no reason to lie, and since he didn't know Qin Hao, he didn't need to lie.

"A late-stage Grandmaster Realm defeating a Heavenly Human Realm Peak master is simply unbelievable. Mr. Qin truly is a peerless genius," the bald monk at the table exclaimed.

Qin Hao chuckled awkwardly, "And who might this master be?"

Du Qinghao quickly laughed and said, "Mr. Qin, forgive me for not introducing him earlier. This is Master Hui Zhen from Jialan Temple. Though young, his Buddhist spirit is profound, and he is currently the strongest expert of his generation at Jialan Temple."

Hui Zhen humbly said, "You flatter me, Du. I'm just a bit lucky."

Du Qinghao continued, "This is Princess Nangong Yuya of the Heavenly Phoenix Dynasty. The most favored princess and the most talented disciple of the emperor, she has reached the late stage of the Heavenly Human Realm."

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Qin." Nangong Yuya smiled gently.

Qin Hao immediately replied, "You're too kind, Princess Yuya."

Du Qinghao: "This is Mao Yunlong from the Green Cloud Sect, Mr. Mao, the top expert of the Green Cloud Sect's younger generation, with a three-foot-long blue blade that cuts down evildoers worldwide."

Mao Yunlong nodded to Qin Hao, who nodded back.

Du Qinghao: "These two are from the Nan Zhou Dynasty, Prince Zhou Liuxing and his sister Zhou Wanqing, known as the Twin Dragons of Nan Zhou."

After each introduction, everyone greeted each other.

Qin Hao and Ye Lingyi also introduced themselves briefly.

"Isn't the Skyfire Dynasty adjacent to the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range?" Master Hui Zhen asked.

Qin Hao nodded, "Has Master Hui Zhen visited there?"

Hui Zhen nodded, "I went there to train a few years ago. The Ten Thousand Demon Sacred Mountain is there, and its beasts are terrifying."

The Ten Thousand Demon Sacred Mountain is one of the forbidden areas on the Hidden Dragon Continent, known to nearly every cultivator, inhabited by top-tier monsters.

After chatting for a while, Du Qinghao invited everyone to enjoy various performances.

The performers were beauties from Fengyue Building, playing music and dancing; they were very impressive. Fengyue Building had its unique charm, surviving in Tiandi City for so long.

After listening to music and watching dances, the feast officially began, with signature dishes being served along with top-quality spiritual wine.

The beautiful waitresses behind them filled everyone's glasses.

Du Qinghao raised his glass and said with a smile, "I toast to everyone, thanking you for honoring us with your presence. If you need anything in the future, feel free to ask me, Du Qinghao." He finished his drink in one gulp.

Qin Hao and the others also drank, and after doing so, Qin Hao looked at Master Hui Zhen in surprise, "Master Hui Zhen also drinks?"

"Am I not allowed to drink?" Hui Zhen smiled bitterly.

Du Qinghao and the others looked curiously at Qin Hao, not understanding why he would say that.

Qin Hao chuckled awkwardly, "Apologies, Master Hui Zhen, in my hometown there are monks, but they're forbidden to drink, considering it a sin."

Hui Zhen was taken aback, "I see, but at our Jialan Temple, we have no such rules." He then picked up a piece of demon beast leg and started eating.

The scene was somewhat comical to Qin Hao. Could this be what's referred to as 'wine and meat pass through the intestines, but Buddha remains in the heart'?
