Urban God-level Youth

Next to the transmission portal, there were several inns and restaurants. Given the proximity to the portal, this area had a geographical advantage, which meant prices were relatively high.

Despite this, many still chose to stay here. Qin Hao also rented a small courtyard from one of the nearby taverns.

In the loft of the small courtyard, after dinner, Qin Hao continued meditating on the Sword Intent Talisman.

These days, he had been immersed in understanding this talisman, significantly improving his swordsmanship. This grandmaster-level Sword Intent was something even Heavenly Human Realm cultivators and higher couldn't necessarily create;

it required incredible talent to grasp the rules of the universe and create a peerless Sword Intent.

Ling'er and Xian Yin also retreated to their rooms for cultivation. Recently, they had devoted themselves to their training, supported by an ample supply of Spirit Stones, advancing rapidly with deeper insights into Divine Skills and increasing their battle strength significantly.

Early the next morning, the first rays of sunlight shone through the window, and Qin Hao opened his eyes, sharp and piercing. His robe fluttered without wind, making him look like an unsheathed sword, sharp and fierce.

Soon, the sharpness subsided, and Qin Hao returned to normal, getting up and leaving the room.

Xian Yin and Ling'er were already waiting outside. Seeing them, Qin Hao smiled and said, "Let's go. It's time to meet the mighty figures from the Bi Yu Sect and see what's going on."

They left the tavern and arrived at the transmission array, with countless eyes watching Qin Hao and his companions. In a flash of light, the three disappeared.

Yangchuan City.

Many had already gathered here to witness the outcome between Qin Hao and the Bi Yu Sect.

The Bi Yu Sect was one of the five major sects in Yangchuan State and was renowned across Yuxing County. They used to be guests of honor at the Commandery Prince's mansion in Yuxing County, extremely powerful, with more than a dozen grandmaster-level experts.

When Qin Hao and the others emerged from the transmission array, the square fell into silence.

"So this is Qin Hao? He looks so young, probably around twenty-five, right?" someone remarked.

"At this age, to repeatedly slay grandmaster-level experts, his potential is limitless."

"Indeed, if the Bi Yu Sect doesn't eliminate him this time, he will surely become a significant threat to them in the future."

"No wonder the dynasty issued a recruitment order for him. Such a young master is very likely to become one of the legendary Heavenly Human Realm experts someday."

"Are you Qin Hao? Kneel and surrender now; our Bi Yu Sect elder might still spare you," a voice suddenly rang out among the crowd, as four arrogant disciples from the Bi Yu Sect stood there.

"Scram"

Qin Hao shouted, his voice booming like thunder, echoing across the square. The four disciples' expressions changed drastically, retreating continuously, with blood spurting from their mouths.

The faces of others in the square also changed; what terrifying power! A single shout injured four Innate early-stage experts; what kind of battle strength was this?

The Bi Yu Sect disciples looked at Qin Hao in shock and disbelief.

Qin Hao asked the four, "Where are your Bi Yu Sect members? Weren't you saying you want to take my head?"

"Our elders are waiting for you outside the city, afraid that you won't dare go," one replied, regaining confidence while mentioning his elder.

They brought three elders this time, each a grandmaster-level expert—one early-stage, one mid-stage, and the great elder in the late stage.

Even with Qin Hao's formidable battle strength, could he withstand three grandmaster-level experts? Especially with one mid-stage and one late-stage grandmaster.

Qin Hao sneered disdainfully, flying into the sky towards the outskirts of the city, with Xian Yin and Ling'er following behind.

The crowd saw Qin Hao truly heading there, their spirits lifted, and they followed suit.

A sizable group of cultivators flew towards the north city gate of Yangchuan City.

On the northern city gate walls of Yangchuan City, Qin Hao stood in the air, with three elders meditating cross-legged outside the city walls, while dozens of Bi Yu Sect disciples stood below.

"Are you Qin Hao?" The three elders opened their eyes, sharp gazes flashing, with Bi Yu Sect's great elder Xiao Qingtian asking Qin Hao.

Qin Hao turned to Xian Yin and Ling'er, saying, "You can just watch from the city wall." With that, he walked calmly across the sky.

By now, over a thousand people had gathered on the north city wall, even the governor of Yangchuan State was alerted, sitting on the wall with a large group of guards, his expression unchanged.

After walking a few hundred meters, Qin Hao stopped, looking at the three and said, "Yes, I am Qin Hao. Was Xiao Hai, whom I crippled a few days ago, your grandson?"

"Since you know, you should be aware of the consequence you face today," Xiao Qingtian said, his words filled with deadly intent.

Qin Hao laughed coldly, "I'm not here to listen to you spout nonsense. Are you Bi Yu Sect members all coming at me, or one by one? Come, I'm ready."

The crowd on the wall was shocked by his audacity; facing three grandmaster-level experts, he remained calm. Where did he get such confidence?

One of them was a late-stage grandmaster expert, surely able to break through to the Heavenly Human Realm given time.

Besides Xiao Qingtian, the other two elders were also fearsome. The Bi Yu Sect's early-stage grandmaster experts could not be compared to the Red Cloud Sect or Jiangping State's governor, Li Changdong; they were far superior in Cultivation Technique and Divine Skills.

An early-stage grandmaster of Bi Yu Sect could easily slay Li Changdong.

"I don't need all of us to deal with you," Xiao Qingtian said disdainfully.

The Twelfth Elder of Bi Yu Sect stepped forward, "Great Elder, let me handle this. I will capture this boy and hang him outside Bi Yu Sect's ancient tree for a hundred years, repaying the blood debt he owes our sect."

This was the cultivator at the early-stage grandmaster level, who had been at this stage for over two hundred years. He could already feel that, given a few more decades, he would surely break through to mid-stage grandmaster.

Xiao Qingtian hesitated for a moment and said, "Alright, Twelfth Elder, go capture him and show him the strength of our Bi Yu Sect."

Although Qin Hao could kill grandmaster-level experts, which demonstrated his prowess, Twelfth Elder's battle strength was not lacking. Even ordinary mid-stage grandmaster experts were no match for him.

If Twelfth Elder were indeed to fall behind against Qin Hao, he and the Eighth Elder were here, with enough time to rescue Twelfth Elder.

The Twelfth Elder of Bi Yu Sect sneered at Qin Hao, "Those who dare trample the dignity of our Bi Yu Sect shall be killed without mercy."

"You old fart, you show off without even fighting. I bet I'll cut you down within fifty exchanges," Qin Hao retorted playfully.

Twelfth Elder: "Arrogant."

With that, Twelfth Elder charged at Qin Hao, his hands swiftly forming and launching palm prints, red as the clouds, to envelop Qin Hao.
