Urban God-level Youth
Chapter 929 - 929: Wanted Notice

Qin Hao smiled and nodded, "Ling'er, do you know which way that person ran?"

"It's in this direction. Mr. Qin, that demon is very formidable. We won't run into him, will we?" Xue Lingling said, a look of fear on her face.

Qin Hao: "I wish we could meet him. Such a demon deserves to be killed by everyone. It would be a perfect chance to avenge your parents and everyone in the village."

With Ling'er joining him, Qin Hao's pace slowed a bit, but the people from the Red Cloud Sect did not catch up.

They had long lost Qin Hao's trail. With such a vast area outside Nanxing City, where could they possibly look?

In the evening, Qin Hao found a towering tree, built a simple wooden hut on it, and let Ling'er sleep inside while he cultivated outside, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the essence of the sun and moon.

"Uncle, I'm going to sleep." Ling'er said, looking at him.

Qin Hao smiled, "Go to sleep. Uncle is outside keeping watch, nothing will happen."

At night, while Qin Hao was cultivating, he heard Ling'er crying in her sleep. He let out a long sigh, knowing that witnessing her parents and relatives die had caused her deep emotional trauma.

It wasn't until the sun was high the next day that Ling'er slowly woke up.

Qin Hao was roasting meat below. Seeing Xue Lingling awaken, he said, "Ling'er, come down and have something to eat."

Xue Lingling nimbly descended from the tree. Her tribe also had lower-level cultivation methods, so even though she wasn't yet at the Qi Refinement Realm, her body was quite agile.

"Uncle, this meat is really tasty," Ling'er said after taking a bite.

Qin Hao: "This is the meat of a Level 7 Qi Refinement Realm beast. It's beneficial for the body and greatly nourishing."

After breakfast, the two continued on their journey. They had already lost a night, and Qin Hao was worried that experts from the Red Cloud Sect might catch up.

Qin Hao donned the space mecha, holding Ling'er with one hand and using spiritual energy to guard her body. After all, the wind generated by their speed would be too much for her to bear.

He moved swiftly, and at this rate, they would reach Changliu City by nightfall.

Changliu City wasn't far from Nanxing City. There were hundreds of similar towns in the entire Jiangping State.

Jiangping State is just one state within the Tianxiang Dynasty, which is so vast that many can't travel across the entire dynasty in their lifetime.

As Qin Hao was flying mid-air, a black light suddenly attacked from below, accompanied by a howling wind that rustled the leaves.

Qin Hao reacted instantly, dodging with Xue Lingling in tow, a metallic longsword appearing in his hand: "Who dares to sneak attack? Show yourself and meet your fate."

"Heh heh."

A man in a black robe appeared, looking at Qin Hao and Xue Lingling with a sinister smile: "You dare to fly recklessly in the open with only Qi Refinement level nine? You're underestimating us demonic cultivators, aren't you?"

Generally, when traveling from one town to another, those with modest strength would take flying boats, while the wealthy would use a Space Transmission Array. Few, like Qin Hao, would fly so brazenly outside because it's too dangerous.

Xue Lingling saw the man in the black robe and showed fear: "Mr. Qin, it's him. He's the one who killed my parents and villagers."

The black-robed man's eyes flickered upon hearing this, looking at Xue Lingling: "I didn't expect a fish to slip through the net. But it's a good chance to take care of both of you today. Absorbing your cultivation should help me break through to the Innate Realm."

"I've been looking for you. Didn't expect you'd deliver yourself to my door. Tell me, how do you want to die?" Qin Hao looked indifferent, his tone cold and ruthless.

The black-robed man laughed arrogantly, "You want me to die? You, who are merely at Qi Refinement level nine, dare to speak so boldly? Ridiculous. Well, if you had any sense, you wouldn't be out here alone."

Qin Hao placed Ling'er on a tree, then charged at the black-robed man.

The black-robed man sneered repeatedly. He had absorbed and refined those blood essences and vengeful souls overnight, breaking through from the Postnatal Middle Stage to the Peak of Postnatal Late Stage, just a step away from the Innate Realm.

But soon, the smile froze on the black-robed man's face because he couldn't detect Qin Hao's figure at all. He was too fast, so fast that even at the Postnatal Peak, he couldn't follow Qin Hao's movement trajectory.

Qin Hao exerted his full strength this time, thoroughly enraged by the black-robed man's actions.

A few dozen seconds later, Qin Hao returned to his original position, coldly watching the black-robed man.

The black-robed man was also staring at him and attempted to exert pressure, but his arms fell off in sections, blood gushing forth.

Subsequently, his legs also fell off in sections, and his body was cut into one hundred and eight pieces by Qin Hao.

Even in death, the black-robed man stared in disbelief. How could a mere Qi Refinement level nine cultivator be so terrifying?

He never understood how Qin Hao killed him.

"Congratulations to the host for killing the demonic cultivator, rewarded with one thousand merit points."

"Congratulations to the host for avenging Xue Village, rewarded with one thousand five hundred merit points."

...

Qin Hao was momentarily stunned upon hearing the system's voice—so many merit points?

To think he had only received one merit point for slaying a hundred million Star Sky Insect Clans, indicates this guy had done no shortage of evil deeds.

Qin Hao took the storage space from the black-robed man. There were a fair number of spirit stones and some low-level magic artifacts, but they were all made from vengeful spirits. Qin Hao destroyed them, finding them unpalatable to use.

Returning to Xue Lingling's side, she suddenly knelt down: "Mr. Qin, thank you for avenging my parents and people of the tribe. Thank you."

Qin Hao hurriedly helped her up, "Silly girl, no need to be formal with uncle. People like him, I kill one when I see one."

Xue Lingling: "Uncle, you're amazing. He was already a peak Postnatal expert, and you still managed to kill him."

"Are Postnatal experts formidable? They still die when facing uncle." With that, Qin Hao carried her forward again.

Around five in the afternoon, Qin Hao saw the outline of Changliu City from afar. He slowed down, and as they approached Changliu City, he and Ling'er walked towards the city gate.

A crowd had gathered by the city gate, and Qin Hao, with Ling'er in tow, curiously walked over. A wanted poster was affixed to the city wall.

The Red Cloud Sect is fully hunting the demonic cultivator Qin Hao. He seriously injured disciples of the Red Cloud Sect and slaughtered everyone in Xue Village. Information regarding his whereabouts is being solicited, with a reward of ten thousand low-grade spirit stones for those who provide leads.

Below was a high-definition portrait of Qin Hao, extremely clear.

Seeing this, Qin Hao's expression subtly changed, and he quickly turned and led Ling'er away.

"What's the matter, uncle?" Xue Lingling hadn't seen the notice on the wall and was curious and puzzled.

Qin Hao: "It's nothing. We'll enter the city later."

Fortunately, no one noticed Qin Hao. He took Ling'er back to the forest in the outskirts.

He opened the system's merit store, then spent five thousand merit points to exchange for the most powerful disguise skill: Thousand Faces Divine Skill.
