A few hours had passed.
When Ding Hao came out of the secret room, it was already noon the next day.
Ding Hao had lunch in the Red Stone Manor. He had stayed in the room for a long time, so he wanted to go out. He wandered to the city.
Nalan Chu and Nalan Youxia were not around, and Ding Hao was a little unaccustomed to it. It was said that Demon King, Evil Moon, had gone out for a walk with the old guide with messy hair. Nobody knew what trick it was playing and who was suffering. But Blackie was still in a strange state. It lay lazily on the edge of the martial arts practice field. At times, it measured its strength with the people who practiced physical cultivation and who were naked to the waist…
Compared to a few days ago, the Stone Mouth City was even more chaotic.
Ding Hao saw all kinds of strange creatures on the street. There were apes with black fur all over their bodies, young girls of the Beast Clan with foxtails, and monsters of the Sea Clan who were still emitting the aura of water. As for the Feather Clan in the west, they could be seen everywhere.
“It seems that what Mr. Yang said that night was right. The God’s Palace is about to lose control of the Stone Mouth City, which will become a masterless land. All kinds of powerful people are gathering here. It’s no longer the territory of the Human Clan only…” Ding Hao was lamenting.
The Land of Divine Grace was really a strange world. There were all kinds of clans, but there was no Demon Clan. The clan which was similar to the Demon Clan was called the Beast Clan here. If they were distinguished carefully, there were differences between the two.
On the Land of Infinity, most of the demons had cultivated the martial arts of the Demon Clan to gain wisdom, and very few of them relied on bloodline inheritance. However, the Beast Clan on the Land of Divine Grace was a completely new intelligent clan. They were born with wisdom and the clan had countless years of civilization. The Behemoth Clan among them was even more terrifyingly powerful.
Walking on the street, Ding Hao looked at the chaos around him.
He had walked only four or five kilometers, but he had encountered dozens of battles. Some masters of the Feather Clan had their wings torn off by the masters of the Beast Clan. Some Whale Warriors of the Sea Clan had pierced through the bodies of masters of the Ceroman Clan with iron forks. Some masters of the Human Clan fought against each other. There were also chaotic battles in which masters of all kinds of clans were engaged…
Blood began to flow from the city at every moment.
It was about to become a sin city.
The masters of all clans had gathered here. The most direct result was that the hatred and war between the clans had been brought here. The originally peaceful city could turn into a battlefield at any time.
Especially in a battle between high-level masters, houses and buildings could be destroyed at any time, causing the earth to crack and rivers to flood…
The security in the Stone Mouth City was worsening.
There were frequent fierce battles between masters of different clans. The patrol team of the God’s Palace, which had been maintaining order, finally stopped appearing after being attacked several times consecutively. In the face of such a chaotic situation, the God’s Palace seemed to be unable to go on controlling this place. It had given up the right to occupy this place.
Due to such an environment, more and more ordinary people of the Human Clan and small sects left these days as if they were escaping from a disaster. Those who were unable to leave could only pray in horror not to be targeted. They only wished they could live like ants.
Only those truly powerful forces and masters could stay still in the face of such chaos, waiting for the legendary Immortal Artifact to appear. They would compete for it and see who was the lucky one.
Recently, there were pieces of shocking news spreading throughout the city.
The most shocking news was about “Holy King Body” Ding Sha, the young genius of the God’s Palace, being schemed and seriously injured.
When the news first came out, many people did not believe it. After all, this place was still the territory of the God’s Palace. Ding Sha himself was a rare young genius who had special bloodline power and was protected by masters of the God’s Palace. It was very difficult to hurt him unless a high-level God Realm Master of the older generation attacked him…
But as more and more news came out, the truth seemed to be clearer and clearer.
In the end, people could almost be sure that Ding Sha had indeed been defeated and it had been a complete defeat.
It was said that Ding Sha had been severely injured. Not only his cultivation was lost, but even his sea of consciousness had also been broken. He had become a useless lunatic. He had completely lost his bloodline power, and there was no possibility for him to rise again. When the news spread out, there was an uproar everywhere. For a martial arts master who had achieved success in his youth, this was even crueler than killing him.
It was said that when Ding Chulin, the Eighth Divine Prince of the God’s Palace, heard that his beloved son had become like this, he flew into a rage and went to the Stone Mouth City with the masters under his command to revenge for Ding Sha. He swore that he would use all means to find the culprit and tear him into pieces.
Ding Sha was the only son of the Eighth Divine Prince Ding Chulin. For Ding Chulin’s force, he was their hope for the future. Ding Chulin doted on him so much that he was simply Ding Chulin’s beloved. Now that Ding Sha had become like this, Ding Chulin’s force had lost their hope. It was like hurting the deepest part of Ding Chulin’s heart. How could he not be furious?
“I swear that when I find out who has injured my son, I’ll definitely make him and all his friends and relatives suffer greatly. I’ll burn their bones and scatter their ashes!”
Almost everyone in the Stone Mouth City could hear the roar of the Eighth Divine Prince Ding Chulin.
There was also some vague news that the man who had schemed against Ding Sha was the mysterious young man who obtained the Primordial Concentrated Ore in Shengyuan Bank more than ten days ago. At first, many people thought that this young man was a lucky dog, but they also felt that he would be hunted down and be killed by masters of all forces sooner or later. However, they never thought that this lucky young man would be so terrifying. A peerless genius of the God’s Palace became a useless man in his hands when he took action!
They knew that this young man was not simple.
People could not understand the erratic changes.
Ding Hao just laughed when he heard such news.
At that time, he deliberately exposed the Primordial Concentrated Ore to lure Ding Sha into his trap. Ding Hao had studied Ding Sha’s character. The latter achieved success at a young age. His talent was extraordinary. While being extremely bloodthirsty, he was mean and greedy. Ding Hao knew that when Ding Sha found him, the latter would definitely not share the news with other people in the God’s Palace, such as “Thunder Roar” Ding Ling. Ding Sha would definitely come alone.
Ding Sha was not Ding Hao’s real target.
Ding Hao’s real target was the Eighth Divine Prince Ding Chulin.
The culprit who betrayed his father and caused his father to be in a desperate situation was the one who should pay for all his sins. It was also this man who had tricked Ding Hao out of the mansion of the Eldest Divine Prince and drained him of his blood essence.
Ding Hao wanted to lure Ding Chulin out and take revenge on him.
Now that Ding Chulin had arrived in the Stone Mouth City, what he needed to do next was to plan carefully to lure out the old bastard and avenge himself.
For Ding Hao, the only uncertainty was that he did not know the level of Ding Chulin’s strength. The 13 Divine Princes of the God’s Palace were all outstanding talents. Even the Tenth Divine Prince, whose talent was lower than most of them at that time, was now a Semi God Realm Master. The Eighth Divine Prince Ding Chulin was far more talented than the Tenth Divine Prince. He should enter the God Realm a long time ago.
Therefore, Ding Hao should not jump the gun.
Ding Hao strolled on the street. When he looked up, he saw a huge golden building. It was magnificent and looked luxurious. He had arrived at the gate of Shengyuan Bank.
An idea came to Ding Hao’s mind and he entered the bank.
A teal-robed young man warmly led Ding Hao into the hall.
Ding Hao looked around and saw the short, fat, and amiable manager who was at the withdrawal counter on that day. He walked over and simply showed him the Purple-gold Card. The fat short manager’s expression suddenly and greatly changed. He took Ding Hao out of the hall respectfully and came to a very private VIP room on the second floor.
After a while, the lean old man, Xu Changqing, rushed over. When he saw Ding Hao, he quickly bowed and said, “I didn’t know you had come. I’m sorry for not coming sooner. Please forgive me.”
Ding Hao saw the power of the Purple-gold Card last time and knew that the reason why the lean manager was so respectful to him was definitely because of the Purple-gold Card. He stood up and smiled modestly. He said, “Mr. Xu, you don’t have to stand on ceremony. I just happened to pass by and come in. I want to withdraw some mysterious crystals. Is it convenient?”
The lean old man said with a smile, “It’s easy.” He turned to the fat short manager and said, “Mr. Cao, withdraw one million top-grade mysterious crystals at the counter immediately and bring them to our distinguished guest.”
Ding Hao opened his mouth.
“A million top-grade mysterious crystals?”
He just wanted to withdraw tens of thousands of mysterious crystals, but Xu Changqing took out so many at once. What did the Purple-gold Card represent? It could make the senior manager of Shengyuan Bank so respectful to him.
It seemed that even if he wanted to withdraw more top-grade mysterious crystals, Xu Changqing would definitely not refuse him.
“What kind of cards are those three cards Ding Shengtan has left me?”
Soon the fat short manager named Mr. Cao returned with a white Space Bag. The Space Bag was exquisitely handmade and was also a rare treasure in the outside world. It contained a million top-grade mysterious crystals and was respectfully handed over to Ding Hao.
“Are these crystals enough? If not, I will have someone withdraw more immediately,” said Xu Changqing tentatively.
Ding Hao said in a hurry, “It’s enough. Thank you, Mr. Xu.”
“It’s my honor to serve you,” said the lean old man respectfully.
“By the way, Mr. Xu, have you found anything on the list I left last time?” asked Ding Hao casually.
The lean old man, Xu Changqing, looked a little shameful. He said, “The Stone Mouth City is on the border of the Eastern Continent after all, and the roads are not very safe recently. The channels of Shengyuan Bank have suffered some impacts. We have only found two of them…”
“Two of them?” Ding Hao was stunned.
“Yes. Please don’t be angry. I will ask people to try their best to find them. I have also reported this to the headquarters. I believe that there will be more good news soon,” said the lean old man, Xu Changqing.
“You’ve misunderstood me.” Ding Hao quickly explained, “I know how rare the things on the list are. I’m overjoyed that you could find two of them in such a short time.”
