It sounded a little absurd, but it was reasonable.

  Ding Hao did not ask any more questions.

  He recounted the whole story of coming to the Land of Divine Grace.

  “That is to say, at least hundreds of martial arts geniuses from the Land of Infinity have come to this world? Can we find the way back?” Lei Tingchan’s eyes lit up.

  As a wandering traveler on foreign land, she was unwilling to integrate into this world and could only kill time by practicing martial arts. When she comprehended the Buddhist doctrines and improved her strength, she became more and more lonely. Hearing that so many so-called old friends had come to this world, she finally felt that she had found her root and was no longer helpless like duckweed.

  “The number is correct, but now the problem is that I don’t know where they have gone,” Ding Hao said.

  Lei Tingchan thought for a moment and said, “It’s not a big deal if it’s an ordinary person. However, people like the God of War of Mysterious Frost in the Northern Region and the Central Region Supreme God of War are eternal heroes. Such outstanding and dazzling figures would be recognized wherever they went. It wouldn’t be difficult to inquire about them.”


  Ding Hao nodded and said, “That’s true, but the problem is that what can we do if we find them? We couldn’t speculate the thoughts of these old monsters. We are not sure whether they will accept us or not, and now they may not have a way to go back to our world.”


  “What do you think we should do next, Senior Brother Ding?” Lei Tingchan asked.

  Ding Hao’s answered with only one word, “Wait.”


  “Wait?” Lei Tingchan frowned.

  Ding Hao nodded. He said, “Yes, just wait. There must be some reasons why God’s Palace orders the world to arrest the reincarnated demon stars. We just need to wait and see. Maybe we can find something.”


  Lei Tingchan focused her eyes and thought for a moment before she said, “That’s indeed our only choice for now. Should we just wait here?”


  Ding Hao nodded again.

  In the blink of an eye, two months had passed.

  Although the army of God’s Palace had searched nearly everywhere near the Northern Land City, they had not found any clues. The person described by the sixth miss seemed to have disappeared from this world.

  After enforcing martial law for a period, the Northern Land City was back to normal.

  The new city lord of the Northern Land City was quickly determined.

  No one had thought of the candidate before. They didn’t expect that Mo Xinlan, the sixth daughter of the former city lord Mo Yuncong, would become the new city lord. Although Mo Xinlan had a bad reputation in the Northern Land City and many people couldn’t accept the fact, they had to endure it because the appointment was issued by God’s Palace.

  As usual, Ding Hao leisurely went out early in the morning and strolled in the Market City.

  No one would have thought that the wanted criminal of the God’s Palace had been in Northern Land City all the time and he didn’t escape at all. He just changed his clothes and his appearance slightly with the help of his magic skills. In the past two months, he had been wandering around every day leisurely and no one had recognized him.

  Now Ding Hao had mastered the dialect of the Northern Land City and made a lot of friends. Along the way, someone greeted him from afar. Ding Hao smiled and responded with a heavy accent.

  He simply looked like a native of the Northern Land City.

  Even there were acquaintances of Ding Hao in the Black Armored Army soldiers patrolling on the streets.

  “Hey, Young Master Jia went out to bask in the sun again?” A Black Armored Army captain greeted Ding Hao with a smile.

  “Yes. The more I bask in the sun, the more comfortable I feel.” Ding Hao smiled. His current alias was Jia Ren, a good-for-nothing rich young master. He casually threw out more than a dozen high-grade mysterious crystals to him and said, “Take them and get a drink. Brother Zhou, when you change shifts, shall we have a good drink again?”


  Captain Zhou took over the mysterious crystals and said with a smile, “Well, Brother Jia Ren, you have spent so much money.”


  Ding Hao smiled and said, “Brother, don’t mention it.”


  He walked through a few streets and alleys and came to the most prosperous and chaotic sundry market in the Market City. Several young people who looked like young masters greeted him when they saw him in the distance.

  “Brother Jia, you are finally here. As usual, I have prepared the best seat for you.”


  “Haha, Brother Jia is a little late today.”


  The young men surrounded Ding Hao and they came to the northern corner, the best place to bask in the sun. They lied down and offered the best position to Ding Hao. He laid a white tigress hide on it and watched the passers-by as they chatted leisurely.

  These young men were the friends that Ding Hao made these days.

  Different from Lei Tingchan who was unwilling to know anything in this world, Ding Hao was quite curious about the Land of Divine Grace. After all, it was his motherland in a real sense, which had a special meaning to him.

  Ding Hao liked to examine the world with his own eyes by getting in touch with various people.

  Therefore, he made friends with these people and spent all day in Market City where people from all walks of life gathered. All kinds of rumors were gathered here. There were all kinds of people with the most information sources. Many pieces of information couldn’t even be collected with money. As long as he had a pair of ears that were good at listening and a pair of eyes that were good at observation, he could get all the information he wanted there.

  Every day, Ding Hao would come here when he was not cultivating.

  Now he could already be considered to be an acquaintance of the Market City. He had become familiar with them and could start conversations with most merchants. People also had an extremely good impression of this smiling young man that was so generous.

  In the past two months, Ding Hao had also got many treasures in the Market City.

  Of course, Ding Hao’s greatest harvest was that he had completely adapted himself to this new world. It seemed that every cell in his body had completely assimilated into this world. He could speak, walk and eat in the same way as the local people if he liked it.

  His understanding of the world was getting more profound day by day.

  Lying lazily on the slate to bask in the sun, Ding Hao narrowed his eyes and planned something in his mind.

  “If there were no other major changes, I should leave. I couldn’t gain anything more even if I spend more time here. Perhaps the Northern Land City was too small and remote. Therefore, although there has been news about the reincarnated demon stars, it doesn’t make any sense.”


  The next stop was the Sky Water City, three million miles away.

  Sky Water City was one of the largest cities in the reign of the Eastern Divine Palace. It was many times larger than the Northern Land City. Perhaps he could get more information there.

  Of course, it was even more dangerous in such a big city.

  Once the identities of Ding Hao and his companions were exposed, they would probably be hunted down by real masters of God’s Palace.

  That was also one of the reasons why Ding Hao had stayed in Northern Land City for more than two consecutive months. He made up a complete set of identity information and obtained a spare key of the registration office of God’s Palace with the help of his acquaintances. To use the terms of Ding Hao’s previous life, it was that he finally got his own ID card. In this way, others couldn’t find anything useful even if they wanted to investigate him in the future.

  A youngster beside him mumbled, “More and more outsiders have appeared within the city during the past two days. Will something happen this time?”


  Another young man thought of something and guessed, “I heard that the ruins of an ancient sect were found on the periphery of the Ocean Forest. Many sects and masters rushed there.”


  The young man named Li Ning, who had the best relationship with Ding Hao, said, “That’s it. No wonder I saw that the Black Armored Army in the city also sent some masters to the Ocean Forest yesterday afternoon. It is said that in the past four days, thousands of masters have rushed there one after another. Since our Northern Land City is the outermost stop of the Ocean Forest, all parties have to purchase supplies here. There is no doubt that it is finally bustling with noise and excitement!”


  Ding Hao listened to him casually.

  He had already heard the news.

  However, the information he got was not of much use to him. He was not interested in the ruins of the ancient sect in this world. He just came out of the Ocean Forest not long ago, but he did not encounter such ruins. Presumably, they were not too rare.

  “I heard that even the masters of the Nalan family have rushed to the Ocean Forest.” Li Ning continued, “Nalan Xingde, the Heavenly Wrath Sword, is currently the top master of the Nalan family. It is said that he used to travel in the Ocean Forest and married a woman from a barbarian tribe in the forest. I wonder if the Heavenly Wrath Sword will also rush to the forest this time.”


  Another young man said with a smile, “What kind of person is the Heavenly Wrath Sword? He is even respected by God’s Palace. He is second only to one person in the Nalan family. With his extraordinary strength, how could he condescend to show up in such a small place?”


  “Nalan Xingde, the Heavenly Wrath Sword?”


  As a flash of lightning shot through his mind, Ding Hao instantly realized something.

  “In this world, there were not many people with the compound surname Nalan. There were even fewer masters with the surname Nalan who had entered Ocean Forest and married a woman of the tribe. Could it be that this Heavenly Wrath Sword was the father that Chu and her silly brother had been looking for?”


  Ding Hao had completely known Nalan Chu’s background.

  Later, the young man named Li Ning continued, “I’m afraid that the ruins this time were not a trivial matter. It is said that someone has seen more than one reincarnated demon star near the ruins, so some people speculated that the ancient ruins might have something to do with the demon stars.”


  Speaking of this, Li Ning lowered his voice and said mysteriously, “There is one more thing that will scare you even more. According to my cousin who is working in the City Lord’s Mansion, the ruins may have something to do with the eldest Divine Prince who betrayed the God’s Palace 15 years ago.”


  “What?”


  Ding Hao was shocked and almost exclaimed.

  Fortunately, he immediately calmed down and narrowed his eyes without saying anything.

  “Come on, Little Brother Li. Stop boasting here. Your cousin is only a cook, what news can he get? You have been always talking nonsense in the name of your cousin.” Another young man teased Li Ning.

  Li Ning swore, “It’s true. It’s true this time. I saw my cousin last night and he told me in person. It is said that the female city lord of the Northern Land City will personally go to the Ocean Forest today.”


  He didn’t seem to be bragging.
