Urban God-level Youth

Ye Lingyi sighed and said, "Mr. Qin, don't be too upset, it's not your fault."

Dong Mengqi and Wu Yutong nodded in agreement, "Yes, Mr. Qin, nobody wanted this to happen, don't think too much about it."

Qin Hao: "If I don't avenge this, I swear not to be human."

This was his vow to himself, and also a promise to the deceased Gao Linglong.

Whether it's the Hell Organization or the person behind the scenes who paid for the killer, he will not let them go, even if they are the top forces on the Southern Continent.

"We must avenge this." Wu Yutong also spoke.

Ye Lingyi and Dong Mengqi nodded as well, "Mr. Qin, Linglong was our friend too, we want to do our part."

The three of them were well aware of the strength of the Hell Organization, but they were fearless.

Qin Hao: "Alright, if there's anything I need, I'll let you know. You go back to cultivate first, I'll protect you."

They all returned to their respective rooms, leaving only Qin Hao sitting there alone.

Qin Hao's mind recalled the figures of Gao Linglong and Gao Yuan. He still vaguely remembers what Gao Yuan said, and now Gao Linglong had become a corpse.

This made him feel somewhat guilty towards Gao Yuan.

Meanwhile, Qin Hao was also contemplating who the mastermind was, the Nan Zhou Dynasty? The Beichu Dynasty? Or the Flame Dragon Dynasty??

The Thunder God Dynasty was less likely because he and Lei Tianjue had never had any major misunderstandings or conflicts.

The Sun and Moon Holy Sect, Jialan Temple were also possible, but who could it be?

It's hard to guess based solely on speculation.

If he wanted to know, he could only start with the Hell Organization, as only they would know who paid for the assassins.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

Ye Jingtian and Ling'er had both emerged from seclusion, and they learned about this matter the first time.

"Xiao Hao, you're not to blame for this, you don't have to feel guilty. When I go back, I'll explain to Mr. Gao." Ye Jingtian had now broken through to the Peak Realm.

"These people are so vile, Linglong was such a good person, why did they have to kill her?" Ling'er's eyes were slightly red, feeling very sad.

Aside from Xian Yin, Gao Linglong was the earliest person she knew, and Gao Linglong had treated her well on ordinary days, she also treated Gao Linglong as a sister.

Ye Jingtian sighed, "The cultivation realm is like this, no one knows what will happen in the future. Tomorrow you are going to the Heaven and Earth Academy, it's safer there, and I should go back too."

Ye Lingyi spoke, "Father, be careful when you're going back."

Ye Jingtian nodded slightly, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Qin Hao took out a storage ring from the storage space, "Mr. Ye, inside are two million mid-grade Spirit Stones and a Peak Ascending Elixir, please pass them to Mr. Gao for me."

Ye Jingtian, Ye Lingyi, Wu Yutong, and Dong Mengqi were all stunned. Two million mid-grade Spirit Stones and a Peak Ascending Elixir, what a generous gesture!

They knew in their hearts that Qin Hao was probably trying to alleviate his guilt.

But this was a huge gesture, not to mention the two million mid-grade spirit stones, just the value of a Peak Ascending Elixir was terrifying.

Qin Hao felt guilty towards Gao Yuan's trust, and Gao Linglong's death was also related to him.

"Apologize to Mr. Gao for me. I, Qin Hao, have failed his trust, and if I don't avenge Linglong, I swear not to be human." Qin Hao's tone was long, and full of guilt.

Ye Jingtian sighed, "Mr. Qin, you don't have to blame yourself too much. I will convey this to Mr. Gao, I'm sure he won't blame you."

With these spirit stones and a Peak Ascending Elixir, combined with the Gao Family's cultivation resources, Gao Yuan can completely break through to the Peak Realm, and by then, the Skyfire Dynasty would have two Peak Realm experts, intimidating the surrounding countries.

Dong Mengqi was deeply touched, Qin Hao was truly a person of deep affection and righteousness. If it were anyone else, they probably wouldn't be able to do what he did.

They might not even feel any sadness, the cultivation realm is an extremely cruel world. She had already seen through the warmth of human nature from various ancient books of the family, such a person as Qin Hao is too rare.

At this moment, her inner thoughts and plans were also firmer.

While they were talking, there was a knocking sound from outside, Lan Manshuang had come with people.

Qin Hao got up and said, "Mr. Ye, you continue chatting, I'll go take a look."

He went downstairs and opened the door, Qin Hao looked at Lan Manshuang and asked, "Miss Lan, do you have any leads?"

Lan Manshuang sat down and said to him, "Mr. Qin, after our investigation, the assassin was indeed from the Hell Organization, code-named Scorpion. Someone spent five million mid-grade Spirit Stones to hire the assassin to kill Gao Linglong, the purpose was to teach you a lesson."

"Do we have any leads on the mastermind?" This was Qin Hao's main concern.

Lan Manshuang shook her head slightly, "This matter is very difficult to investigate, this information is only known to the high-ranking officials of the Hell Organization. We in the Yunv Sect have no moles among the high ranks."

Qin Hao furrowed his brows slightly, "Is there any other way to investigate?"

Lan Manshuang: "There shouldn't be any. Perhaps other top forces have high-ranking members acting as informants in the Hell Organization, but we're not sure."

"How many strongholds does the hell organization have on the Southern Continent, and where are they located? Can we investigate this?" Qin Hao continued to ask.

Lan Manshuang paused for a moment: "Mr. Qin, you don't mean to take revenge on the entire hell organization, do you???"

Qin Hao: "I won't let the hell organization or the force behind it go. Gao Linglong is my friend. I can't let my friend die in vain. Those people must be buried with them."

Lan Manshuang was truly shaken by his tone. Taking revenge on the entire hell organization and the force behind it?

One must know that the hell organization's power is comparable to the top forces on the Southern Continent. Who on the entire Southern Continent would dare utter such words?

At the same time, Lan Manshuang was somewhat surprised by Qin Hao's character. To want to annihilate two major forces for just an ordinary friend, such a bold outlook is rarely seen in ordinary people.

Lan Manshuang offered a reminder: "Mr. Qin, you must think thrice before acting."

Qin Hao nodded: "Miss Lan, there's no need to worry. This is a personal matter and won't implicate the Yunv Sect."

Lan Manshuang smiled gently upon hearing this: "Mr. Qin, you've overthought this. You are now a protector of the Yunv Sect. We share honor and disgrace; your matters are the sect's matters as well. People as sincere as you, Mr. Qin, are rare. Our Yunv Sect is not a sect that turns its back on people."

Qin Hao: "Thank you, Miss Lan."

Lan Manshuang smiled: "Mr. Qin, we are like family, so you can call me Manshuang. By the way, Mr. Qin, which force do you think is behind this event?"

Qin Hao shook his head slightly: "I've offended quite a few forces, so I'm not sure which one it is, specifically."

Lan Manshuang analyzed: "I think maybe it's not from these major forces. These major forces have their pride; how could they stoop to such sneaky acts? Of course, we can't rule out the possibility."

"That's exactly why it's so frustrating to not know who is behind it." Qin Hao sighed.

Lan Manshuang hesitated for a moment and said: "Perhaps there is another way to investigate."

Qin Hao paused and asked urgently: "What way?"

"Mr. Qin, do you know the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion?" Lan Manshuang said to him.

Qin Hao's eyes lit up: "I know it's a super force spread across the entire Hidden Dragon Continent. Can they investigate it there?"

Lan Manshuang: "They probably can, the strength of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion is unimaginable to us. But if you want to get clues from them, the price might be one you can't currently afford."

Qin Hao: "Then let's go have a look now and see what conditions they will propose."

Lan Manshuang was a bit shocked: "Go now?"

Qin Hao: "The Tiandi City should have a branch of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, right? Take me to have a look."

Lan Manshuang nodded slightly: "Okay, I'll take you."

The two walked out of the courtyard and left the tavern. Under Lan Manshuang's leadership, Qin Hao arrived at the stronghold branch of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion in Tiandi City.

The branch of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion was in a dead-end alley, and the shop seemed a bit shabby.

After entering, however, the place was quite clean inside. An old man sat at the counter, which was filled with Information Spirit Balls, and the ceiling also had many hanging, densely packed ones.

Seeing the two enter, the old man looked up: "What intelligence do you two need?"

Qin Hao approached the counter and asked: "Three days ago, the hell organization dispatched an assassin to kill someone named Gao Linglong. Someone paid five million mid-grade Spirit Stones to hire the hell organization assassin. I want to know who hired the assassin."

The old man's face slightly changed upon hearing his words: "Please, both of you, upstairs."

Qin Hao and Lan Manshuang followed the old man to the second floor, which was even larger than the first floor. A young beautiful woman sat there, appearing young but very strong.

She scrutinized Qin Hao and Lan Manshuang: "Isn't this Mr. Qin and Miss Lan?"

The old man smiled slightly: "Miss, you know them?"

The young woman nodded and then said to Qin Hao and Lan Manshuang: "Mr. Qin, Miss Lan, hello, my name is Yuan Shan."

Qin Hao and Lan Manshuang nodded slightly: "Hello, Miss Yuan."

Yuan Shan smiled and asked: "Mr. Qin, Miss Lan, are you here at our Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion to buy intelligence?"

Qin Hao nodded: "That's right."

"The Yunv Sect is one of the top forces on the Southern Continent; what intelligence could the Yunv Sect not obtain?" Yuan Shan asked curiously.

The old man stepped in: "Miss, they want information on the hell organization's assassin and the mastermind behind the assassination of Gao Linglong a few days ago."

"Involved with the hell organization?" Yuan Shan's face showed a slight surprise.

After that, he said to the old man: "Mr. Li, check if there is any intel on this." Then he said to Qin Hao and Lan Manshuang: "Mr. Qin, Miss Lan, please sit."

Qin Hao and Lan Manshuang sat down on the chairs beside them.

Yuan Shan sat opposite them, smiling and asking: "I heard Mr. Qin got the Divine Artifact Binding Immortal Rope from the Heaven and Earth Academy's secret realm a few days ago? May I have a look?"

Lan Manshuang glanced at Qin Hao, and he took the Binding Immortal Rope out from the storage space, placing a silver-white rope on the table.
