Chapter 891 The Red Stone Manor
It was not until the flare from the teleportation died out that the figure with long hair, who was quietly sitting on the old wooden chair, slowly turned around. The white beam of light shining down from the top of his head didn’t light his face up, so his appearance couldn’t be seen clearly.
A glimmer of light was shining around him.
A figure like ghost emerged next to the long-haired figure and respectfully said, “My lord, this person is suspicious.”
“Well, do you think he is from the God’s Palace?”
“Not really. He is immune to my mind reading, so I can’t see through his mind.”
“He is an interesting person. If I am not mistaken, he is still very young. The fact that he is able to reach the Sage Realm at such a young age implies he has great talent. He is not inferior to those peerless geniuses in the God’s Palace.”
“If so, do you want me to investigate him?”
“No. This person is so alert that you can’t avoid his perception.”
“How is that possible? Even a master at the half god level couldn’t see through my Deception Technique…”
“Don’t you notice that he detected your presence just now?”
“May I beg your pardon? He… This… Could he be a god-level master?”
“No. He carried too many secrets. You can’t see through him, nor can I. Maybe he is the person we have been waiting for? Put him aside for the time being. I have a hunch that we will meet sooner or later… Huh huh. Having been here for so long, I am really looking forward to seeing such an interesting person.”
“My lord, it seems that he is truly not a simple person since even you show a great interest in him. However, I reckon that the mask that he is wearing is very similar to that of the Ghost Hall.”
“It is not similar to the mask of the Ghost Hall but identical to the lowest-level ghost mask of the Ghost Hall. However, this person is not a ghost from the Ghost Hall. Different from the ghosts in the Ghost Hall, he is bright and righteous with an excellent temperament. This is also what I am confused about. The Ghost Hall has a bad reputation. Why does he wear the lowest-level ghost mask of the Ghost Hall?”
“I will send people to supervise the recent whereabouts of the Ghost Hall. The Ghost Hall has sent four of the ten Ghost Sages to the Stone Mouth Town. In addition, the ancient sects such as the Sacred Mansion, the Heavenly Strategy Sect, the Five Poisons Sect, and the Wei River Sect all have Absolute Superiors in the Stone Mouth Town. Almost all the young geniuses in the God’s Palace have arrived there.”
“How about those reincarnated demon stars?”
“I’m just about to report to you, my lord. According to the latest news, the three peerless devils, Buddha, Frost God, and Wood God, have all shown up in the Stone Mouth Town. I’m afraid they haven’t left yet… The other small devils have also appeared. It seems that they also take great interest in the divine objects that they have yet to meet.”
“Huh huh, someone prophesied a thousand years ago that there will be a divine weapon of the Heaven Path emerging in the Stone Mouth Town this year. This is a supreme weapon condensed by the rules of the Heaven Path. Even the God’s Palace is coveting it. The Feather Clan in the west, the Sea Clan in the south, and the Beast Clan in the north will congregate in the Stone Mouth Town. What is more wonderful hasn’t happened yet.”
“I’m afraid that there will be a fierce slaughter in the near future, my lord. Should Heaven Sound Pavilion make preparations in advance to avoid being affected?”
“No. Such chaotic times bring good opportunities for us. It’s been thousands of years. Anyway, we have to find that lord this time even if we have to pay a huge price.”
“Yes, my lord.”
After leaving Heaven Sound Pavilion, Ding Hao, walking on the street, felt increasingly anxious.
His mother was injured.
His mother was seriously injured.
Her father had no choice but to show up in order to find the catalyst for the medicine to cure her mother!
This news made Ding Hao unable to suppress his anger. He wished he could immediately find his father and give him a hand. After all, he had a lot of holy medicine that might come in handy.
But how could he find his father?
Countless thoughts flashed through Ding Hao’s mind.
He even had the impulse to stand in the air above the Stone Mouth City and loudly declare to everyone that he was the son of the eldest Divine Prince. By doing this, he might be able to make his father show up… Ding Hao would do anything once he gets mad.
But he held himself back in the end.
Perhaps he could find his father by that way, but it would also attract the attention of other powers. At that time, there would definitely be a fierce battle which would very possibly ruin his father’s plan to search for the immortal medicine and hence delay his mother’s treatment.
However, the Stone Mouth Town had a population of hundreds of millions of people. It was like searching for a needle in a haystack to find a person.
“What should I do?” Ding Hao asked himself.
He was walking on the street inattentively with a messy mind.
Suddenly, he was hit by something. He looked up and found that more than a dozen burly men clustering around a beautiful girl with long golden hair were staring at him. It turned out that he was walking so distractedly that he collided with them.
“Oh, I am so sorry. I was distracted just now. I didn’t mean to.” Ding Hao apologized.
“You damn boy, you…” A strong man with long blue hair cursed querulously. Just as he was about to say something, the beautiful girl with long smooth golden hair said, “Let it go, Uncle Jin. I don’t think he did it on purpose. Be careful while walking. Don’t collide with other people next time.”
With a gentle and clear voice, she spoke like a holy spirit singing slowly. Her skin was as white and smooth as milk, and her eyes were as clear as the sea, shining with wonderful brilliance.
After that, she turned around and left with the strong men.
“It’s weird…” Ding Hao looked at their backs, deliberating.
Although these people looked similar to humans, they had a very strange aura, especially the blonde girl. When she spoke, her body would instinctively surge with a fluctuation like tides which was restrained and powerful. Even Ding Hao felt secretly shocked.
The strong men around the girl showed a kind of vigorous blood Qi similar to that of physical cultivators in the Ocean Forest. But the two kinds of Qi are not the same. Besides, they had dense water element energy around them, which fluctuated like a tide.
“These people have formidable power.” Ding Hao concluded.
However, he didn’t pay too much attention to them as the old guide walked towards him with a smile.
“My lord, where are you going?” asked the old guide.
Ding Hao thought for a moment and said, “Let’s go to the Earth Vision Pavilion.”
The Heaven Sound Pavilion and the Earth Vision Pavilion were the two largest news sellers in the Stone Mouth Town. They were classified as heaven and earth surveillance. No news could escape their control, and they appeared almost at the same time and had the same deep background and good reputation. Sometimes, the news Heaven Sound Pavilion didn’t get might be obscured by the Earth Sight Pavilion. Therefore, Ding Hao wanted to go there to try his luck.
Four hours later, Ding Hao walked out of the underground hall of the Earth Vision Pavilion.
The street was already brightly lit and it was almost midnight.
Unlike the Heaven Sound Pavilion, the Earth Vision Pavilion was located in an inconspicuous place. On the surface, it was just a small farmhouse. However, there were 18 wells in the middle of the courtyard, each of which led to an underground hall where people could buy different information.
The price was almost the same as that of the Heaven Sound Pavilion.
The whole process was extremely mysterious, just like the Heaven Sound Pavilion.
In the underground hall of the seventeenth well, Ding Hao finished asking his questions. The answers he got were the same as the Heaven Sound Pavilion’s, so he was sure that everything was true.
Unfortunately, this time, the Earth Vision Pavilion was unaware of what the Heaven Sound Pavilion was unaware of.
Led by the guide, Ding Hao walked toward the manor.
“By the way, my lord, I saw not only the Feather Clan but also the Sea Clan whom we rarely see in the city today…” The old guide chatted with Ding Hao.
“The Sea Clan?” An idea came to Ding Hao’s mind. He asked, “Can the Sea Clan also live on land?”
“Ordinary members of the Sea Clan can’t do that, but the royals in the Sea Clan can survive out of the sea. Like primitive beasts, they are born with great magical powers. As the elves of the water element, they can control the ocean. Besides, they have a wide variety of species and are very terrifying.” the old guide said in high spirits. “It is said that the women from the Sea Clan are gorgeous, and they speak as if the seawater is singing.”
Ding Hao nodded thoughtfully.
In the blink of an eye, he was in front of the manor.
Ding Hao saw a few white-robed swordsmen passing by the manor and observing inside. It seemed that they were from the Nalan family. They had not given up yet.
“My lord, you’re back.” Shan Xiong came out to greet him from afar and said, “Some mice are wandering around. Should we kill them?”
Ding Hao shook his head and said, “Don’t bother to deal with them.”
Back to the manor, he found that the originally rundown courtyard had become much cleaner and tidier after it was renovated by the physical cultivators. It was brand new, and even the collapsed stone hall had been repaired. However, doing such a job really wasted these masters’ talents.
Ding Hao called the old guide after thinking for a while and said, “Go to the city and recruit 20 chefs, 20 gardeners, and 50 maids. It doesn’t matter how high the price is as long as they are trustworthy. I don’t want bad guys.”
The old guide patted his chest confidently. “No problem, my lord. Leave it to me.”
Ding Hao nodded and handed him 100 top-grade mysterious crystals to let him deal with this matter.
Obviously, this old guide was very familiar with everything in the city and well-informed and had his own way of doing things, so he was the right person to do this job.
This manor they bought this time was called the Red Stone Manor. It was said to have been a property of a noble family in the God’s Palace. Later, for no reason, this prominent noble family was wiped out overnight. Therefore, the manor was deserted and sold several times. Several owners of the manor didn’t own it for a long time, and there was a rumor of ghosts being here, so it was vacant.
But in terms of scale and layout, this Redstone Manor was fairly impressive.
Ding Hao planned to stay in the Stone Mouth City for a long time, so he had to repair the manor and run it well. These physical cultivators were very qualified to be his assistants and guards. But if they were asked to take care of the manor, it would be like asking a raging bull to embroider.
