Urban God-level Youth-Chapter 1287 - 1286: Assassination Attack

Ancient ruins?

Qin Hao: "What ancient ruins? If there were good things, I’m afraid Miss Bai wouldn’t share them with me, right?"

Bai Lingjia’s lips curled into a slight smile: "The reason I sought out Haotian is because I can’t enter there alone and need a helper. It’s very likely an ancient ruin, though it could also be a relic from more ancient times."

Ancient ruins or ancient relics? 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Qin Hao thought for a moment and replied: "Miss Bai, I’m not interested in any so-called ancient ruins or ancient relics. I have my own matters to attend to."

Bai Lingjia smiled faintly: "Going to find the Butian Sect? Haotian will likely find nothing."

Qin Hao’s eyes sparkled: "Miss Bai, do you know anything about the Butian Sect? Could you share it?"

Bai Lingjia smiled softly: "Why should I help you for no reason?"

Qin Hao squinted slightly; he had a thought of capturing Bai Lingjia but quickly dismissed it. This Bai Lingjia is no ordinary person; capturing her alive wouldn’t be easy, and if she insists on escaping, Qin Hao likely can’t catch her.

"Miss Bai, how much information do you know about the Butian Sect?" Qin Hao asked.

Bai Lingjia: "I know everything that Mr. Qin doesn’t know. Back in ancient times, our Xingyue Palace was a top-tier force, knowing many secrets others don’t."

Qin Hao: "Alright, I agree to accompany you to the Sea of Death, but in exchange, you must tell me all about the Butian Sect."

Bai Lingjia smiled slightly: "No problem, I agree."

Qin Hao: "What treasures are in the ancient relic you mentioned? How should the obtained treasures be divided?"

Bai Lingjia: "I only want one thing. As for the rest, Haotian can take whatever he wants."

Qin Hao nodded slightly, not minding that Bai Lingjia would take the best item.

The carriage fell silent again, as Qin Hao knew Bai Lingjia wouldn’t share more details until they reached the lands of Eastern Zhou to inquire about the Butian Sect.

Both closed their eyes to meditate, while the four Unihorn Pegasus Beasts pulled the carriage across the infinite wasteland skies. They’re quite powerful, so no foolish beasts would dare attack the carriage, and even if they did, they wouldn’t be able to touch it.

Now the carriage has been heavily modified by Qin Hao in terms of speed, defense, and attack formations; it’s stronger than any other carriage.

The night descended, with a bright moon hanging in the starry sky. Qin Hao opened his eyes from meditation, removed the roof of the carriage, and admired the night scenery.

Bai Lingjia also opened her eyes, her beautiful gaze looking at the overhead starry sky, which was breathtakingly beautiful.

Qin Hao suddenly spoke: "Miss Bai, as a top prodigy of Xingyue Palace, with your high status and noble identity, do you have any troubles?"

Bai Lingjia, taken aback by his question, replied: "People have seven emotions and six desires, countless distractions; how can they not have troubles? Perhaps only immortals have no troubles."

"Weren’t immortals once cultivators who ascended? How can they not have seven emotions and distractions?"

Bai Lingjia: "Perhaps so."

Qin Hao: "What are Miss Bai’s future goals? To ascend and become immortal?"

Bai Lingjia looked at him, not knowing why Qin Hao would ask: "Then what are Haotian’s dreams and aspirations?"

Qin Hao: "I just want to live forever, and continue living with my family."

"Haotian has lofty pursuits too, though achieving immortality in this world is nearly impossible, albeit not without hope."

After saying this, Bai Lingjia sighed deeply, feeling born at the wrong time; if it were ancient times, she could definitely ascend, seeking true immortality.

During their conversation, the Unihorn Pegasus Beasts suddenly halted, and Qin Hao and Bai Lingjia felt a terrifying sensation as their hair stood on end.

In the night sky ahead, three shadows appeared as if from thin air, their gazes calmly affixed on Bai Lingjia.

Qin Hao noticed their gaze, feeling puzzled. Are these figures here for Bai Lingjia?

Bai Lingjia, seeing these three, felt a chill in her heart, though her expression remained normal. In a clear, pleasant voice, she said: "I didn’t expect your Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion to find my trail, truly worthy of praise!"

Qin Hao looked at the three Supreme Realm experts and said: "Esteemed seniors, Miss Bai and I are just casual acquaintances with no relation. If you want to kill her, do so; it has nothing to do with me. I won’t interfere in disputes between major factions; I’ll just retreat first."

Having said that, he intended to put away his carriage and leave. Bai Lingjia, hearing his words, felt speechless and disdainful. Who would’ve thought he was such a coward? How did he manage to cultivate to such a level? It completely overturned Bai Lingjia’s perception of him.

"Are you the one who came to Central Continent with Wei Hanxian? You don’t need to leave; go along with Bai Lingjia. Wei Hanxian won’t survive, and she will accompany you later, along with that Wei Xianyun." One Supreme Realm expert spoke indifferently, yet with a lofty arrogance, akin to a heavenly god controlling fate.

Qin Hao squinted his eyes: "Did your Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion send assassins after my aunt back then?"

"Sadly, she escaped that time; but this time it’s different. Not only must Wei Hanxian and Wei Xianyun die, but the David Dynasty must vanish from the continent as well."

Qin Hao: "Your Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion sure wields great power."

"Hmph, the might of Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion is beyond your imagination. Even Xingyue Palace must yield to us."

Qin Hao glanced at Bai Lingjia, and she stared back. At this moment, the surrounding world was already sealed; escaping would be difficult unless breaking the seal to use a teleportation talisman, otherwise, it wouldn’t work.

"Miss Bai, you’ve really put me in a bind." Qin Hao smiled wryly.

Bai Lingjia glared at him, transmitting: "Once we break the spatial lock, we can escape."

The War God Spear appeared in Qin Hao’s hand, his aura rising as he consumed a pill to boost his power, eventually reaching the Late Stage Mahayana.

Bai Lingjia was somewhat surprised; he indeed hid many tricks. Simultaneously, Bai Lingjia’s aura also rose.

"Kill, leave none alive!"

The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion experts launched their assault. In a heartbeat, they vanished from their spot and reappeared in front of Qin Hao and Bai Lingjia, so fast it left no room for Qin Hao to react.

All beneath the Supreme Realm are ants.

The Supreme Realm is a threshold; upon entering, killing those of lower levels is as easy as crushing ants. Of course, this is a metaphor indicating the vast gap in power, making resistance futile.

"Bang!"

Qin Hao had no time to wield his spear before being struck by a powerful palm, sending him flying with blood seeping from his lips.
