Supreme Emperor of Swords

Chapter 925 Shengyuan Bank

Ding Hao was about to say something, but he immediately decided not to say it.

Something even the Heaven Sound Pavilion was not sure about was really not simple.

Since Ding Hao couldn’t ask about this, he could only shift his attention to something else. He thought for a while and said, “I want to know more about the major masters of the Nalan family. The more complete the information, the better.”

The mysterious long-haired man was stunned. He thought about it carefully and said, “3,000 top-grade mysterious crystals.”

Ding Hao habitually took the mysterious crystals out of the Storage Ring, only to find that there were only about 6,000 mysterious crystals stored in it. There were not many left. He kept spending the mysterious crystals these days. He had almost spent all the top-grade crystals collected from the cave on the cliff of the Back Mountain of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect.

After handing over 3,000 top-grade mysterious crystals, Ding Hao got three jade plates. The detailed information about the leaders of the Nalan family had been engraved in them with inscriptions.

Ding Hao put away the jade plates. He thought for a while and asked, “Have you got any information about Ding Tong, the demon-like genius who appeared in the battle in the Hundred Thousand Mountains?”

The mysterious long-haired man smiled faintly and said, “Just like the news about the Immortal Artifact and the immortal medicine, the information about him is also a kind of taboo. We are not absolutely sure about the information we got. Moreover, there is an agreement between the Heaven Sound Pavilion and the God’s Palace that we can’t sell information about the top management of the God’s Palace. I’m sorry.”

Ding Hao looked a little disappointed in his eyes.

He went on to ask, “Are you clear about the whereabouts of Ice Demon and Buddha Demon?”

The mysterious long-haired man raised his hand, and a black plate flew over.

Ding Hao was not surprised and put 1,000 top-grade mysterious crystals on the plate.

“They are in the Stone Mouth Town.” The mysterious long-haired man in the dark said seriously, “I guess they are also here for the Immortal Artifact and the immortal medicine. This area will soon be chaotic. All the clans and forces have gathered here. The God’s Palace is about to lose control of the Stone Mouth Town.”

Ding Hao nodded. He was not in a hurry to ask more about it.

If the God of War of Mysterious Frost in the Northern Region and Lord Buddha from the Great Leiyin Monastery still stayed in the Stone Mouth Town, it would be good news for his father’s force in the following competition. At least, the two supreme masters of the Human Clan from the Land of Infinity showed enough kindness in the last battle.

“I want to know the information about the mysterious man who organized the gathering of the geniuses in the Gathering of the World on that day.” Ding Hao gave him 1,000 top-grade mysterious crystals and asked another question.

The mysterious long-haired man in the dark thought for a while and seemed to be searching for something. After a long while, he took out a jade plate and said, “This man is a disciple of the Hades Ghost Sect. He has been in that sect for six years and has been accepted as a direct disciple by Hades Ghost God. His whereabouts are unpredictable. His strength is very powerful and he keeps a low profile. It’s not easy to deal with him… There is some information about him in the jade plate, but it is incomplete. I’ll give you a discount and charge you 500 mysterious crystals this time. You can ask one more question.”

Ding Hao took the jade plate and was a bit shocked.

He thought that the person who had organized the gathering of the geniuses in the Gathering of the World should be Ding Tong, so he asked another question to get some more information about him. He didn’t expect that it was someone else.

The Hades Ghost Sect was an extremely mysterious force on the Eastern Continent. It had never been known to ordinary people, but it was very terrifying. They were known as the rulers of the dark underground world. The disciples of the sect walked in the darkness like specters and were everywhere.

It was said that this sect was actually a remnant force of the Divine Palace of Sky and Netherworld, which had once ruled the Eastern Continent. Ten thousand years ago, the Divine Palace of Sky and Netherworld was wiped out by the God’s Palace, and the latter became the new ruler of the Eastern Continent. The remaining masters of the Divine Palace of Sky and Netherworld were hiding in the dark, bringing with them the Sky Palace and the Netherworld Palace. They kept trying to revive the former Divine Palace.

This was a secret force that was hostile to the God’s Palace. For so many years, it had not been annihilated by the God’s Palace, which showed that it had extremely amazing resources and means.

The Hades Ghost Sect had developed from the Netherworld Palace.

Ding Hao didn’t expect the identity of the mysterious man to be so complicated.

When Ding Hao was in the Northern Land City, he was in the market and inquired many people about the situation on the Land of Divine Grace. He had also heard about the legend of the Hades Ghost Sect. He didn’t expect he could encounter a disciple of this terrifying sect.

He sank his Divine Senses into the jade plate and read all the information at a glance. Ding Hao was even more confused.

“Why did the disciple of the Hades Ghost Sect try to deal with my father?

“Logically speaking, my father is now a traitor of the God’s Palace and an important enemy of the Fake God Emperor. The Hades Ghost Sect has made an enemy of the God’s Palace, so they should try to rope my father in… Is there any secret that I don’t know?”

Ding Hao shook his head to dispel his doubts. He still had 1,000 top-grade mysterious crystals.

After thinking for a while, he went on to say, “I want to know some information about the reincarnated demon stars. Why are they wanted by the God’s Palace? Besides, help me keep an eye on these people. If there’s any information about them, I’m willing to buy it at a high price at the earliest time.”

Ding Hao engraved the features of the appearances of Li Muyun, Liang Feixue, Feng Ning, and Fang Tianyi in the jade plate and handed it back with the remaining 1,000 top-grade mysterious crystals.

Li Muyun and the other two disappeared after entering the Sage Battlefield, and there had been no news about them. Ding Hao thought that they might have died in that ancient battlefield. However, with the appearance of Lei Tingchan, Ding Hao realized that it was very likely that they had come to the Land of Divine Grace.

Fang Tianyi had mysteriously disappeared in the mysterious crystal mine cave in the Back Mountain of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. Not even his corpse was found. Considering the mysterious Six Immortal Gates in the cave in the Back Mountain, he might have come to the Land of Divine Grace as well.

Ding Hao hoped to find them, especially Fang Tianyi.

Now that the Heaven Sound Pavilion was infinitely resourceful, he had better depend on them. There might be a miracle.

The mysterious long-haired man in the dark raised his hand, and a kind of invisible force took over the jade plate and the mysterious crystals. After pondering for a while, he said, “The reason why the reincarnated demon star is wanted by the God’s Palace is very simple. There is only one reason—When the demon stars appear, the God’s Palace will collapse. No one knows when there appeared such a prophecy, but it has been circulating in the entire Eastern Continent for nearly ten thousand years. It is said that it was a curse cast by the Divine Master of the Divine Palace of Sky and Netherworld before his death. Many people believe that it will come true. Naturally, the God’s Palace will not sit by and do nothing.”

Ding Hao looked as if he were absorbed in thought.

“I’ll only charge you 500 top-grade mysterious crystals for this question. It is half the price.” The mysterious long-haired man in the dark said in a relaxed tone, “You came to the Heaven Sound Pavilion twice and every time you came, you brought me a lot of profits. You’re a high-quality customer. For such customers, we usually keep a long-term cooperation relationship. The remaining 500 top-grade mysterious crystals can be regarded as the front money for tracking down those people’s whereabouts.”

“Okay.” Ding Hao nodded.

“Nice cooperation!” The mysterious long-haired man in the dark smiled and said, “But I have to remind you that if we can’t find the people you mentioned, the front money of 500 top-grade mysterious crystals will not be refunded. If we find them, you can pay a high price for the news.”

Ding Hao still nodded in agreement.

Then, he turned around and walked out.

There were no more questions he must ask.

The most important thing was that he had spent all the mysterious crystals on him.

“Why did you help the Eldest Divine Prince?” asked the mysterious long-haired man in the dark suddenly.

Ding Hao stopped walking.

“You are investigating me?” Ding Hao turned his head slightly and asked with a frown, “What have you found?”

“Haha, if you want to know the information about yourself, you also need to buy it with money.” The mysterious man laughed loudly and said, “There are very few secrets in the world that the Heaven Sound Pavilion can’t find out about, but there is really not much information about you. But I believe that as time goes by, I will definitely know your real identity.”

Ding Hao smiled. He turned around and left.

When he came to the street, it was noon, and the sun was scorching hot.

The moment Ding Hao left the Heaven Sound Pavilion, he took off the bronze grimace mask. As he walked one or two steps, he changed his appearance with the disguising technique. His temperament had changed greatly. He merged into the stream of people.

The entire street was very crowded with people coming and going.

Most people had powerful Qi fluctuations on them. These days, because of the legend of the birth of the Immortal Artifact, more and more warriors crazily joined the crowd to come to the Stone Mouth City. The powerful wanted to vie with others for it, and the weak wanted to try their luck. Businessmen wanted to fish in troubled waters. No one was willing to get nothing.

Therefore, there were more and more people in this large border city.

Ding Hao was thinking about how to earn some money.

He had spent all the mysterious crystals on him. The money kept by Shan Xiong and the others was only enough to maintain the daily expenses of the Red Stone Manor. It would be a terrifying amount if more than a thousand people who practiced physical cultivation ate and drank freely. The best choice was to send people back to the Ocean Forest to get some money. There were still a large number of mysterious crystals in the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, but the problem was that it would take at least two or three months to go there and come back.

Ding Hao lowered his head and pondered. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he subconsciously noticed a magnificent golden hall that was shining brilliantly on one side of the street. It was a little higher than the surrounding buildings. There were eighteen warrior statues on both sides of the hall, which were vivid and lifelike. A big plaque was hanging on the front door—Shengyuan Bank.

Ding Hao suddenly thought of something.

“Shengyuan Bank?” He suddenly remembered that the shadow of his father’s mysterious entity body had said that he could withdraw a fortune from this bank using the three Purple-gold Cards his father had left to him. “I happen to be passing by. Why don’t I go in and have a look?”

Thinking of this, Ding Hao walked toward the golden hall.

After climbing eighteen steps up the golden stairs, he finally arrived at the entrance of the hall. A teal-robed young man with a fair complexion came out to welcome him with a smile and said respectfully, “Welcome to Shengyuan Bank. Would you like to deposit or withdraw money?”

“Withdraw,” said Ding Hao as he scanned the entire inner hall.

Shengyuan Bank was indeed wealthy. The inner hall was much more spacious than it looked from the outside. It was made of spatial inscription tactical deployment so that it was full of majestic splendor. It could give people the impression of richness, but it was a little vulgar. There were many people coming and going in the hall. Most of them were warriors and businessmen. Hundreds of teal-robed young men and women who were wearing teal hats were receiving the guests with professional smiles on their faces.
