Urban God-level Youth
Chapter 880 - 880: Forging a Path

Nangong Jian's face turned red as he flailed his arms and legs in the air, looking like a clown: "Let go of me, let go of me now."

Li Junchu couldn't help but burst into laughter when he saw this: "Oh dear, Brother Nangong, what are you up to? Flying in the air?"

Qin Tian and the others also couldn't help but laugh. They were following Li Junchu's lead, so they did as he did naturally.

Nangong Jian felt utterly humiliated by Li Junchu's mocking and glared at Qin Hao furiously: "Tell your man to let go of me."

Qin Hao smiled faintly: "Ask Brother Li. If Brother Li says to let you go, I'll let you go."

Ask Li Junchu? Nangong Jian's face turned livid. Wasn't this a deliberate insult?

Li Junchu smiled broadly upon hearing Qin Hao's words: "Haha, Nangong Jian, I never thought you would have such a day. Haha, come, beg this prince, and maybe I will tell Brother Qin to release you."

Excitement filled Li Junchu's heart. He was delighted by the situation and began to regard Qin Hao more highly.

Nangong Jian looked at Li Junchu, his expression fluctuating. Beg him? Impossible. How could a prince stoop so low to beg him?

Nangong Jian was now being held aloft by Leng Xuan, watched by so many people, completely shaming a prince like him.

Seeing that Nangong Jian had no intention of yielding, Li Junchu said to Qin Hao with a laugh: "Brother Qin, Nangong Jian is very proud. I don't think he'll beg for mercy. Just have your subordinate carry him around the Ancient Holy Temple once."

Qin Hao nodded: "Then carry him around once. Let's not waste our time playing."

With that, the group pretended to leave.

Nangong Jian's face changed dramatically. As a prince of the Dark Empire, if he were humiliated like this in the Ancient Holy Temple, he and the Dark Empire would be the laughingstock.

If his father found out, the consequences would be dire.

He hurriedly called out: "Wait."

Li Junchu turned around with a broad smile: "Prince Nangong, have you thought it through?"

Nangong Jian's face was flushed, and he looked at Qin Hao and his group fiercely: "I beg for mercy."

"Alright, let's hear how Prince Nangong begs for mercy." Li Junchu smiled proudly. Nangong Jian, I never thought you'd have this day.

Today's event showed that you just came for me, but you didn't expect that I, Li Junchu, had just made a new friend. Indeed, the more friends, the better.

Nangong Jian: "Prince Li, I was wrong. I shouldn't have offended you."

Saying this, his face turned so dark it seemed like it was about to drip water.

Li Junchu laughed heartily, feeling satisfied and pleased: "Since Prince Nangong knows his mistake, this prince forgives you this time. Brother Qin, please let Prince Nangong go."

Qin Hao gave Leng Xuan a look, and Leng Xuan released Nangong Jian.

Nangong Jian said nothing, but after being let down, he left quickly with a gloomy face.

He had no face left to stay here. Soon, what just happened would spread throughout the Ancient Saint City.

Once Nangong Jian left, Li Junchu laughed heartily: "Brother Qin, thank you. I'll remember this favor, let's go inside the Ancient Holy Temple and have a look around."

The onlookers, realizing Li Junchu and Qin Hao's identities, quickly cleared a path for them.

The inside of the Ancient Holy Temple was vast, with a statue standing in the center of the temple. Many people were praying and burning incense, and the air was thick with smoke.

There, Qin Hao saw the group from the Maya Empire standing by the statue, quietly gazing at the ancient holy statue.

Qin Hao and his group approached to take a closer look. The ancient holy statue gave them a very peculiar feeling.

Qin Hao couldn't quite describe what was peculiar about it, it was just a sense he had.

This feeling wasn't unique to him; everyone who entered felt the same. However, many were accustomed to it, while this was Qin Hao's first time.

Qin Hao activated his ancient martial arts cultivation technique and felt it circulating faster than before, extremely smoothly.

A strange invisible stream of air emanated from the ancient holy statue.

His cultivation technique's speed increased, reaching tenfold its usual speed.

But it was of no use because he had no subsequent cultivation techniques, no direction for a breakthrough.

No path? Then I'll carve my own path.

With these thoughts in mind, Qin Hao began to intensely absorb that invisible stream of air. Under the insane rotation of his technique, a large amount of air flowed into his body.

Everyone in the grand hall sensed it, an invisible energy vortex swirling above Qin Hao's head.

Nearby, Li Junchu, Lan Xin, and Dantai Moyu were flung away by the invisible force but managed to land steadily with a backflip.

The three of them looked at Qin Hao with astonished eyes. What was happening?

The crowd from the Maya Empire was equally stunned, a rare look of surprise on their faces.

Li Junchu and his group reacted quickly, ordering their subordinates to drive out all idle people and seal off the area.

Only they and the people from the Maya Empire remained in the temple. Shortly, people from the Ancient Holy Temple arrived, three in total.

One was the temple master, and the other two were vice temple masters.

Seeing Qin Hao standing in the center with his eyes half-closed, they showed puzzled expressions.

Qin Hao was now in a strange state, similar to a cultivator's breakthrough, but not quite.

One could say he was innovating within the cultivation realm, creating the next level of the cultivation technique, forging a new path for cultivators.

As time passed, more and more spiritual energy streamed into his body.

Lan Xin asked worriedly: "What's happening to Qin Hao? Is he alright?"

Dantai Moyu shook her head: "The invisible force just now was terrifying. Although our bodies have been enhanced, we had no resistance at all."

Li Junchu gulped: "Could Brother Qin be encountering something good? The ancient saint manifesting?"

"Nonsense, that's superstitious." Dantai Moyu rolled her eyes at him.

"Miss, please don't insult the ancient saint," one of the temple officials finally said.

Dantai Moyu asked them: "This is your Ancient Holy Temple. What's happening to my friend? Can you explain?"

One of them hesitated before speaking: "We don't know either, maybe it really is the ancient saint manifesting."

Dantai Moyu scoffed: "Manifestation my ass. Who are you fooling?"

"Miss, watch your words. Do not insult our ancient saint," the temple official warned.

Dantai Moyu retorted: "What? You think you can kill me? You don't even qualify to carry my shoes."

Li Junchu intervened: "This lady is Princess Mo Yu of the Moon Mist Empire, and I am a prince of the Tanglong Empire. Disrespect us, and we'll tear down your shabby temple. Did you use some sorcery on my brother?"

The three temple leaders' expressions changed slightly upon hearing this. Were these people that powerful?

They quickly said: "We don't know what happened to this gentleman."

Su Anna from the Maya Empire spoke: "He's likely breaking through a limit."
