Urban God-level Youth
Chapter 922 - 922 Nanxing City

Based on the speed Qin Hao demonstrated earlier, Cheng Zhong had no certainty in killing Qin Hao, which is why he took on this attitude.

Qin Hao looked at him indifferently, acknowledging that Cheng Zhong's words made sense; people living deep within the mountains wouldn't behave like him.

Back then, even Chu Jianglong and a few others probably didn't believe his words.

"Do you think I can let someone who wants to kill me walk away?" Qin Hao's tone was calm.

Although the space mecha had already attached itself to him, it merely adhered to his body like a suit of armor without anything special, making it impossible for Cheng Zhong to detect.

Cheng Zhong looked at him warily, "Mr. Qin, why rush to kill me? You suffered no loss and even gained something. Let me go, and I will surely remember your kindness."

A gleaming alloy sword appeared in Qin Hao's right hand, emitting a chilling aura, bloodthirsty and razor-sharp.

Seeing Qin Hao draw the sword, Cheng Zhong realized Qin Hao had no intention of letting him go. With a determined heart, he charged forward.

Qin Hao's figure flashed and vanished from his spot, moving as swiftly as lightning, as fast as a storm.

Cheng Zhong couldn't even see Qin Hao's trajectory, only feeling a chill on his neck.

Qin Hao stood behind Cheng Zhong, the alloy longsword in his hand unstained by blood.

A few seconds later, Cheng Zhong's head dropped, spraying blood two or three meters high, and his body fell stiffly to the ground.

Qin Hao walked over and took off several spatial storage rings from Cheng Zhong's body, where all the belongings of these five people were stored.

These spatial storage rings require a cultivator's Divine Sense to access and retrieve items.

Currently, Qin Hao was aware of only one realm: the Qi Refinement Realm. Furthermore, he had heard from Chu Jianglong and others that the Qi Refinement Realm seemed to have several layers; however, he hadn't asked about the specifics as it was common knowledge known by almost everyone.

As Qin Hao was about to turn and leave, a woman's voice suddenly sounded, "Hehe, this is humanity."

Qin Hao was startled and turned to see a few people walking out from not far away.

Three men and one woman, including two elders, and a relatively young man and woman. The woman had delicate and extraordinary features, an exquisite and slender figure, paired with an outstanding temperament, making her a top-tier beauty.

The young man appeared slightly immature, probably only fifteen or sixteen years old.

How could these people appear silently? Why didn't the space mecha detect them?

"Do you have business?" Qin Hao asked them calmly.

"The energy fluctuations in your body indicate a cultivation of only two or three layers of the Qi Refinement Realm, yet you managed to instantly kill a cultivator at the seventh layer of the Qi Refinement. How did you do it?" The young and beautiful woman looked at him curiously with her large eyes.

Qin Hao: "No comment."

After speaking, he turned to leave, moving very quickly because these people gave him a gut-wrenching feeling, extremely dangerous, not ordinary people.

"Miss, should we capture him?" An elder beside the young woman asked her.

The young woman shook her head, "We're too close to Nanxing City here. If we cause too much of a disturbance, it won't benefit us."

Qin Hao moved swiftly; for her guards to catch up, they would have to exert full strength, which would draw experts from Nanxing City.

...

Around five in the morning, Qin Hao saw the outline of Nanxing City, somewhat resembling the ancient city gates of the Xuan Country.

However, here the city gates and walls were extremely tall, and Nanxing City was also very large, comparable to the level-one interstellar city where Qin Hao was from.

Although the city gates hadn't opened yet, many people had already gathered outside, locals from nearby tribes, bringing monster skins and materials to sell in Nanxing City.

Qin Hao joined the crowd, waiting for the gates to open.

During this time, he examined the spatial storage rings of Chu Jianglong and others, finding many monster skins, monster cores, and energy stones, along with a few low-level Divine Skills manuals; nothing else was noteworthy.

Qin Hao felt somewhat regretful; if there had been a cultivation method, it would have been great.

At six in the morning, as the sun rose, the city gates of Nanxing City opened on time, and the crowd gradually started to enter.

Qin Hao entered the city, observing the surrounding streets and shops, most of which were two to three stories high, and there were shops of all kinds.

He walked along the street for a while but didn't see any bookstores; after walking a bit further, Qin Hao spotted a shop called the Divine Power Pavilion, with a signboard indicating it sold cultivation techniques, Divine Skills, and ancient books.

He went inside; the shop had quite a few people browsing the cultivation techniques and Divine Skills manuals on the counters.

After searching for a while, Qin Hao found the counter selling ancient books. There weren't many people here, as such ancient books were rarely purchased; cultivation techniques and Divine Skills manuals were generally preferred.

"Clerk, how are these sold?" Qin Hao called out to the clerk.

The clerk came over and smiled, asking, "Which types of ancient books does the gentleman wish to purchase?"

"These: Tianxiang Dynasty History, Hidden Dragon Continent Brief History, and this unofficial history." Qin Hao pointed to the three books.

The clerk handed them over, "That will be ninety lower-grade Spirit Stones in total, sir."

Lower-grade Spirit Stones?

Qin Hao took out an energy stone from the spatial storage ring, "Is it this kind of thing?"

The clerk was a bit stunned, did this person not even know what a Spirit Stone was? "Yes sir, that's it."

Qin Hao handed over ninety pieces to her and proceeded to leave with the books.

As he reached the door, a group of people happened to be entering, both men and women, wearing splendid attire, clearly not ordinary people.

"Move aside. You're blocking my path," one of the young noblemen said with a hostile tone upon seeing Qin Hao.

Qin Hao frowned slightly; was this person really so arrogant? Did he not understand basic courtesy?

"Didn't you hear me tell you to move aside? Do you want to die?" Pang Yang snapped, seeing Qin Hao standing still with furrowed brows, feeling displeased.

Just as Qin Hao was about to speak, a young woman from the group intervened, "Mr. Pang, let it go; acting like this just makes people think your Pang Family is overbearing and tyrannical."

Upon hearing the young woman's words, Pang Yang said nothing more.

Lan Sihui gave Qin Hao a smile and then proceeded inside the shop.

Qin Hao said nothing; he was still unfamiliar with the situation in Nanxing City and didn't know this person's identity or background, so he didn't act impulsively.

He was here to find his child, and most importantly, he lacked confidence in his current strength.

If a few more cultivation experts like Soul-Eating Demon Wolf appeared, he would likely meet his end here.

When away from home, one must first learn to endure.

But he remembered this grudge.

Pang Yang wouldn't have thought that just due to those few words, the reaper was already beckoning to him.

Qin Hao left the shop and found an inn, requesting an ordinary guest room.

Inside his room, he took out the books and began reading. It wasn't until evening that he finished all three books, mainly because they contained a wealth of information.
