At the same time, two hundred elite warriors from the Ancient Wood Tribe were selected. Together with soldiers from the Red Tiger Tribe, they formed a new army and headed for another tribe called Stone Tribe a thousand miles away.

  Ding Hao, sitting in the luxurious carriage, followed them all the way.

  Thousands of Puppets of War were also summoned. Like the Death Army crossing the border, they frightened those strong primeval beasts away with their magnificent aura.

  In the evening, the Stone Tribe was breached.

  The Stone Tribe rarely had the power to resist Ding Hao, the Heaven-exterminating Flame Army, and the joint army of the Ancient Wood Tribe and the Red Tiger Tribe, so they were conquered easily.

  There was still no killing or plundering this time.

  Ding Hao did the same thing and once again selected two hundred elite warriors from the Stone Tribe to form a joint army. Then he passed down the jade token and ordered Shi Feng, the chief of the tribe, to send most of the soldiers to search every inch of the land within a radius of a thousand miles for the whereabouts of Ding Tianshuang and others.

  Shi Feng and the others naturally did not dare to hesitate. They immediately did what Ding Hao had ordered.

  That night, Ding Hao did not stop his expedition.

  By the early morning of the next day, another four tribes- the Peace Tribe, the Sheep Tribe, the Bazaar Tribe, and the New Castle Tribe had been breached. The joint army now had 2,000 soldiers, with the average combat capability of the Martial Emperor Realm. With the Heaven-exterminating Flame Army with the average combat capability of the Martial Grand Emperor Realm in his hand, Ding Hao almost had the power at the peak of a large tribe.

  Although Shan Xiong was the nominal commander of the joint army, Ding Hao was the one who had the final say.

  Ding Hao was proceeding with his expedition as if he was making a snowball.

  At the moment, Ding Hao controlled a total of seven tribes, which could cover an area of tens of thousands of miles. The speed of searching of the local scoundrel tribes was definitely much faster than that of his alone.

  That was Ding Hao’s idea.

  Such an expedition may make the tribes in the Ocean Forest tremble with fear. It may disturb the calm life of the local people or inevitably lead to casualties. However, Ding Hao could not care so much now. He was not a predecessor or a master, nor a moral model. He was now just an injured father who wanted to find his missing daughter immediately!

  Ding Hao cleverly made use of the joint army and prevented the tribes from joining forces. The strong forces were all used by him.

  At the same time, Shan Xiong enjoyed being the commander.

  However, after all, his strength alone was limited and could not completely make the masses surrender to him. Without Ding Hao and the Heaven-exterminating Flame Army, the Red Tiger Tribe could never control such a joint army. Therefore, he faithfully carried out every order of Ding Hao and did not dare to disobey at all.

  Some people from other tribes also figured out that Ding Hao had the final say in everything and began to try to win Ding Hao’s trust.

  In this way, after about ten days, Ding Hao had annexed 41 tribes.

  It was a terrifying number.

  Because these tribes had covered an area of more than 400,000 square kilometers. There were more than 300 masters in the Saint Realm, tens of thousands of masters in the Martial Grand Emperor Realm, and countless masters in the Martial Emperor Realm and the Martial King Realm.

  If such a huge force was on the Land of Infinity and if there were god-level experts, it would be comparable to the top holy lands of martial arts such as the Holy Palace of Mysterious Frost.

  The joint army organized by Ding Hao had reached the population of 40,000, including more than a hundred masters in the Sage Realm and more than 3,000 masters in the Martial Grand Emperor Realm. All these people came from different tribes and followed Ding Hao.

  Even Ding Hao himself felt it incredible that he had gathered such a powerful force in such a short time.

  Fortunately, there were no god-level experts in these tribes, so everything was going on so smoothly. As long as a god-level expert showed up and defeated him, everything would vanish like dust, and the powerful joint army would collapse as if it had been killed.

  Ding Hao knew that he must stop his expansion.

  If he continued expanding, he would be unable to control everything.

  The warriors of the tribes in the Ocean Forest paid much attention to physical cultivation and did not cultivate Qi. As a result, there were very few god-level masters. However, it did not mean that there could not be God-level masters if they continued physical cultivation.

  Ding Hao decided not to get in touch with those super tribes.

  The 41 tribes he had annexed were scattered around the Mountain Gate of Fortune. In addition to helping him find traces of Ding Tianshuang and others, these tribes had another important role – to serve as the shield and spied for the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. Once something unexpected happened, the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect could get protection from the tribes.

  All tribes in the Ocean Forest were relatively short of food, so they didn’t pay much attention to refining weapons and elixirs although they attached great importance to physical cultivation. They could not excavate mineral resources, but could only instinctively refine some herbs. Therefore, they were extremely short of things such as powerful magical weapons, Precious Weapons, and healing elixirs.

  Ding Hao was well aware of their weaknesses and made full use of them. From time to time, he gave them some weapons, elixirs, saber techniques, sword techniques, and other profits to buy people’s hearts. Basically, he had won over the hearts of all tribes.

  In fact, many tribes also found that after joining forces, they could defeat the fierce beasts that they didn’t dare to face in the past. They could get food that was many times more than before. The lives of each tribe were improved and everyone seemed to live a better life.

  Moreover, Ding Hao didn’t control them in the way they had imagined. Although these tribes were formed into a joint army, each tribe still had its own autonomy. The power of the patriarchs and elders over the tribes had not been withdrawn, which made them happy to accept the joint army.

  After about a month, Ding Hao resorted to both coercion and persuasion to completely control the 41 tribes he had annexed.

  Ding Hao even adopted the democratic systems from Earth in his previous life. Each tribe had the right to vote and the army was decentralized. In this way, a simple union was formed. Ding Hao had mixed the 41 tribes together.

  After a brief discussion, the 41 heads of the tribes named the new alliance the Celestial Tribe.

  Ding Hao was regarded as the Celestial Master by the 41 tribes.

  In the Ocean Forest, all kinds of legends about the Celestial Master began to spread.

  The rise of a new force in such a short time made many other super tribes shocked and uneasy. With the news gradually spreading out of the Ocean Forest, people in other regions also heard of Ding Hao and his new tribe.

  The new undercurrents in the dark were gathering and got even more turbulent.

  At the same time, the search for Ding Tianshuang and others was not stopped for even a second.

  Every single tribe searched day and night in their own territory. They checked over and over again, not daring to neglect anything.

  News also came during this period, but unfortunately, it was proved that it had nothing to do with Ding Tianshuang.

  Ding Hao was guarding the Red Tiger Tribe and cultivating while waiting for news from all sides.

  In more than a month, Ding Hao’s Qi cultivation finally exceeded the Martial Emperor Realm and entered the dual-meridian, one-apertured Martial Grand Emperor Realm. His life span had been greatly prolonged, and there was a soar in his strength.

  During this period, he also returned to the Mountain Gate of Fortune several times and discussed his plans with Li Lan and the others.

  Everything was getting better.

  However, there was still no news of Ding Tianshuang and Ren Woxing.

  One day, after finishing a day’s cultivation, Ding Hao was reading the news gathered by various parties and looking for useful information in the main hall of the Red Tiger Tribe as usual. He frowned all the time, trying to find some useful clues.

  Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps came closer from outside.

  With a happy look on his face, Shan Xiong hurried in with a young man.

  Shan Xiong respectfully reported, “Celestial Master, someone has the clues of the girl in the jade token.”


  Ding Hao raised his eyebrows and suddenly stood up, saying, “Go ahead.”


  Seeing Shan Xiong’s wink, the young man took several steps forward and knelt down on one knee, saying, “Celestial Master, I came from the Golden Wind Tribe. When leading a team to search the southeast edge of the Ocean Forest, we met a mercenary group from the foreign region. One of them said that he once saw the girl in the jade token.”


  “Where is the mercenary now?” Ding Hao’s eyes brightened.

  The young man said, “The mercenaries from the foreign region refused to come to the depth of the Ocean Forest. In order to avoid conflict with them, I asked them to stay at the edge of the forest. After that, I immediately came here to report to you.”


  Ding Hao nodded. “Good. You did a good job. Take me to the mercenary immediately.”


  Before Ding Hao finished his words, Shan Xiong found that Ding Hao and the young man had disappeared in a flash.

  “The Golden Wind Tribe is so lucky this time. If they really find clues about the girl, the Celestial Master will definitely reward them greatly. The prayers to their ancestors must have been heard.” Shan Xiong felt a little envious, but he also knew that it was their destiny.

  Shan Xiong didn’t dare to hesitate. He immediately followed them.

  Thanks to Ding Hao, Shan Xiong got his current status and prestige. He was well aware that only by following Ding Hao closely and serving him loyally would he be able to keep his position of the first marshal of the Celestial Tribe.

  At the southeast edge of the Ocean Forest, Ding Hao was staring at the tall and thin mercenary in front of him. “According to what you said, you saw this little girl and her companions leave the Ocean Forest three months ago, right?”


  The tall and thin mercenary felt unprecedented pressure. He felt a sense of reverence from his soul when standing in front of this young man with the bronze grimace mask. He immediately said, “Yes, it’s definitely true. I saw this little girl and a chubby little boy with my own eyes. They were riding a large grey Fat Cat with wings and a black dog that had three heads. They left here and got out of the Ocean Forest!”


  A large grey Fat Cat with wings?

  A black dog with three heads?

  Ding Hao frowned slightly, and he knew everything the next moment. Perhaps Ding Tianshuang and others have suffered a lot in the Ocean Forest, so that the white fur of Evil Moon, the Fat Cat, had turned grey. As for the black dog with three heads…… Had the blood of the Three-headed Heavenly Hound in Blackie’s body been stimulated?
