The instant the woman entered the courtyard, Qin Hao and Jing Lie opened their eyes in unison.
Not Qingwu.
Qin Hao glanced at her. She was quite young, looking to be in her twenties, dressed in fitted martial attire. Her delicate, lovely face was a sight that made one's eyes light up.
As for her cultivation...
Like Wei Suhe and Zang Dajiang, she was a peak-stage Dao-Origin Divine Lord. Compared to those two, however, she gave Qin Hao a far purer impression.
Her strength is far above Wei Suhe's and Zang Dajiang's. Qin Hao swept her with his divine sense and immediately understood why she had come.
Although she was only a peak-stage Dao-Origin Divine Lord, her divine soul was quite powerful, almost at the level of a half-step Divine King.
She was considerably stronger than both Wei Suhe and Zang Dajiang.
Qin Hao nodded slightly.
Presumably, Qingwu and Divine King Ziyang had no other choice. Hiring a Divine King would cost too much to be worthwhile.
That left them with Dao-Origin Divine Lords.
As for half-step Divine Kings...
Tianquan City was large, but not every half-step Divine King was immediately available—or willing to accept this mission.
They could only settle for the next best option and invite peak-stage Dao-Origin Divine Lords with unusually powerful divine souls. This woman was one such person...
As were Wei Suhe and Zang Dajiang.

Just as Qin Hao was about to withdraw his gaze, Wei Suhe's startled voice rang out. Qin Hao's interest stirred, and he studied her with mild curiosity.
The Li Family!
Having spent so long in Tianquan City, Qin Hao knew something about it. The city had three major powers: the City Lord's Manor, the Mo Family, and the Li Family!
The City
