Urban God-level Youth

Chang Lin, Yue Ruolan, and Wang Yiming also left, casting vicious glances at Qin Hao and Wei Xianyun on the boat as they departed.

They had never been so humiliated before, especially in front of so many sect disciples.

After today, they feared they would become a joke among everyone, and if they met again, they would not even be able to raise their heads.

Their hearts were filled with hatred for Qin Hao and Wei Xianyun, and they vowed to avenge this humiliation. They wanted to tear Qin Hao limb from limb, to destroy his soul and ensure he could never be reborn.

The boat quickly made its way from the shore to the small island in the center of the lake. Although called a small island, it really wasn't; the palace was built upon it, with a small open square in front and pavilions and corridors surrounding it.

After paying the Spirit Stone, Qin Hao and Wei Xianyun disembarked from the boat. The palace on the island was large, resplendent in gold and blue, and exuding grandeur.

Once they got off the boat, Qin Hao and Wei Xianyun headed towards the palace. The entrance was crowded with people coming and going, and above the palace hung a gilded plaque. The three large characters "Xingyue Palace" were sharp and conspicuous, daring anyone to gaze at them for too long.

Such a plaque must have been penned by an exceptional master.

The two quickly reached the palace entrance, and suddenly the people in front parted to stand to the sides.

A group emerged from within Xingyue Palace, leading were several young men and women, outstanding in appearance and impressive in presence, far surpassing ordinary young prodigies in aura and bearing.

"These must be the young prodigies from Purple Phoenix Sect, Golden Lion Sect, and Purple Light Palace. Truly extraordinary! Just seeing them, I feel a sense of inferiority."

"Indeed, the aura they unconsciously emanate is far too strong."

"Who would've thought they'd come here together."

The surrounding crowd whispered among themselves, but their voices remained low, maintaining sufficient reverence.

Purple Phoenix Sect, Golden Lion Sect, and Purple Light Palace are all top-tier forces on the Central Continent, far superior to that Star Formation Sect. These are truly top-tier powers; the Star Formation Sect cannot compare at all.

The young men and women, surrounded by a crowd, then walked out of Xingyue Palace.

Each bore an expression of arrogance, not even glancing at those around them.

Qin Hao and Wei Xianyun also stood aside with the crowd, casting a brief glance before shifting their gaze. The strength of these individuals was indeed impressive, comparable to the top prodigies of the Southern Continent. No wonder the Central Continent harbors so many young prodigies.

Once those individuals left, Qin Hao and Wei Xianyun entered, descending to the bottom of the lake, which indeed revealed a starry sky scene, sparking amazement.

Qin Hao and Wei Xianyun roamed around below before returning to the surface.

Upon emerging from the palace, Qin Hao and Wei Xianyun heard an angry shout: "Hao Tian, Wei Xianyun, come out to face your death."

A middle-aged man stood there, with Liu Haifeng, Chang Lin, and others behind him. The middle-aged man was an elder of Star Formation Sect, a Late Mahayana Realm Practitioner.

After returning, Liu Haifeng and the others went to him to complain, hoping the elder would step in to suppress Qin Hao and Wei Xianyun, to salvage the dignity of Star Formation Sect.

Upon hearing of this matter, Feng Yan rushed over immediately. The dignity of Star Formation Sect could not be trampled upon. Two mere Loose Cultivators, albeit somewhat strong, dared to trample the sect's dignity. They must die to restore the sect's prestige.

The surrounding crowd, upon seeing the elder of Star Formation Sect arrive, showed expressions of interest. Is Star Formation Sect here for revenge?

The Star Formation Sect is truly declining; the young prodigy was kicked into severe injury, suggesting the sect is falling into obscurity.

At this moment, Liu Haifeng and the others saw Qin Hao and Wei Xianyun emerge from the palace, pointing at them and exclaimed: "Mr. Feng, it's those two. The shameless woman tried to seduce Brother Liu unsuccessfully and even attacked us."

Feng Yan gazed at Qin Hao and Wei Xianyun, flying over from the shore, landing on the small island's plaza: "Was it you two who fought my Star Formation Sect's disciple?"

The young prodigies of Purple Phoenix Sect, Golden Lion Sect, and Purple Light Palace, witnessing the scene, curiously asked those nearby: "What's going on?"

After getting an explanation from those beside them, the young prodigies understood and remained silent, watching the confrontation between the elder of Star Formation Sect and Qin Hao.

In the eyes of the crowd, Qin Hao's realm was perceived as Transcendent Realm Early Stage. The Star Formation Sect's elder was Late Mahayana Realm; the gap was too significant. The two were surely doomed, a pity considering the beautiful woman—such a peerless beauty being slain was indeed tragic.

"This is the result for a Loose Cultivator offending a major sect. Even with some talent, without sect support, you're nothing."

"He even dared to severely injure Liu Haifeng of Star Formation Sect; truly doesn't know his limits and has brought calamity upon himself."

"Looks like Star Formation Sect's elder intends to kill them both. Too bad about the beautiful woman."

"How could such an extraordinary beauty be with him? Truly blind."

…

Qin Hao looked at the elder of Star Formation Sect and spoke calmly, "I was the one who fought them. Your sect harbored ill intentions, and I merely educated them. Under normal circumstances, I would have slain them long ago."

"Such audacity! You, a mere Loose Cultivator, dare not respect my Star Formation Sect. Kneel and abolish your cultivation, I'll spare your life." Feng Yan's tone was domineering and undebatable.

Qin Hao snorted coldly, "Scram. My patience is limited, or I will kill all of you today."

Feng Yan scoffed hearing this, "You, at mere Transcendent Realm Early Stage, dare to speak so arrogantly? A Loose Cultivator is still a Loose Cultivator, an unsophisticated bumpkin with no world experience. Since you refuse to kneel, face your death."

Before his words were finished, he clasped his hands, a brilliant palm seal striking towards Qin Hao.

The green palm seal grew larger with the wind, akin to a small mountain enveloping Qin Hao below.

Qin Hao formed the Heavenly Gang Palm Seal with his hands, unleashing a palm seal as well. The golden palm seal, majestic in force and immensely powerful.

The appearance of the palm seal caused the crowd's expressions to change, eyes widening in shock at Qin Hao.

He absolutely couldn't be merely at Transcendent Realm Early Stage. The aura and power of that palm seal were at least above Mahayana Realm. Their realms were too weak to accurately sense which exact stage of Mahayana Realm.

The young prodigies of Purple Phoenix Sect, Golden Lion Sect, and Purple Light Palace, feeling the power of Qin Hao's palm seal, all withdrew the smiles from their faces; this force was certainly above Mahayana Realm. Is he a Mahayana Realm master?

If so, then his talent is indeed formidable, and achieving such a level as a Loose Cultivator is incredibly terrifying.

They, too, were Early Mahayana Stage masters, and only they knew how much resources from their sect they consumed. For a Loose Cultivator without sect backing to reach a similar realm, wasn't that terrifying?

"Boom"

The two palm seals collided, releasing brilliant lights in the sky, with an invisible energy wave radiating outward, forcing the crowd to retreat and defend themselves.
