Mr. Yang took a sip of wine and smacked his lips. He said, “It’s said that the Hades Ghost Sect is the incarnation of the former Divine Palace of Sky and Netherworld. That’s not accurate, because the Hades Ghost Sect is actually just the incarnation of the Netherworld Palace, one of the two remaining forces of the Divine Palace of Sky and Netherworld. The other palace of this divine palace, namely the Sky Palace, did not perish, either. It has evolved into another horrible force called the Sky Immortal Sect. It’s far less famous than the Hades Ghost Sect, but its foundation and strength are not weaker than that sect. It’s just more mysterious and low-key.”


  Ding Hao, who happened to be passing by, was a bit surprised to hear his words.

  The news was very specific. It was very similar to the information he got from the Heaven Sound Pavilion. It seemed that the news was somewhat correct.

  Mr. Yang continued, “The second great thing I’m going to talk about is related to the Sky Immortal Sect. Its successor has also appeared in the Stone Mouth City. It is said that his strength is very powerful. He is accompanied by an old servant in the God Realm. He has come for the upcoming Immortal Artifact.”


  Ding Hao was about to leave, but when he heard this, he was slightly surprised. Mr. Yang knew a lot of information, so he suddenly became interested.

  He directly walked into the open-air restaurant and casually sat not far from those strong men. He ordered a few snacks and quietly listened.

  Mr. Yang continued, “The successor of the Sky Immortal Sect is definitely a terrible man. It’s said that there is terrifying power hidden in his body, which can resist the attack of the War God. Ten days ago, he defeated a God Realm Master of the God’s Palace in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.”


  “How did you know about such a secret? You’re not fooling us, are you?” A young man couldn’t help but question him.

  Mr. Yang chuckled and said unhappily, “It doesn’t matter how I knew. Anyway, these things are just for fun. If you believe me, you can continue to listen. If you don’t, don’t listen.”


  Immediately, someone reprimanded the young man who had questioned Mr. Yang. “What do you know, boy? Mr. Yang is famous for being resourceful. How can the news he told us be false? Mr. Yang, please ignore him and go on.”


  The young man apologized in a hurry.

  Mr. Yang chuckled and continued, “The third great thing is related to a legend that was circulated on the continent in the past. Does anyone know Sword Daimon, who was once a peerless genius on the continent?”


  Most of the surrounding people stood gazing at one other.

  A man who looked slightly older than other people frowned and thought hard. Suddenly, he thought of something and said in surprise, “Sword Daimon? He and “Three Thousand Swords” Shi Yihuang were regarded as the Two Supreme Swordsmen outside the God’s Palace. Could it be him? He is both good and evil, coming and going like a shadow. In order to repay someone who had given him some beancurd jelly as breakfast, he killed 800 people in a day and annihilated seven sects. Could it be that demonic swordsman?”


  Mr. Yang nodded and said, “Yes, it’s that old monster. In those days, Sword Daimon’s Peerless Lotus Attack was regarded by countless people as one of the supreme canons of swordsmanship. Unfortunately, he was too proud and arrogant. He had few friends. No one knew his background, nor did anyone know who was his master. He treated life as merely playing games. He seldom appeared in recent years. Some people said that he had left the Eastern Continent to travel in foreign territories. But half a month ago, a young man with purple hair and silver eyes suddenly appeared and performed half of the Peerless Lotus Attack.”


  “Could he be the successor of Sword Daimon?” asked someone thoughtfully.

  Mr. Yang said with a smile, “Quite possible.”


  “Why are all the successors of the old monsters here? It’s as if they had made an appointment……” said someone with emotion.

  “The Immortal Artifact is about to appear. Some people can no longer hide away.”


  “With so many geniuses gathering here, I’m afraid there will be a battle among them sooner or later. I don’t know who can have the last laugh and who will be the genius among geniuses in the end,” said someone who had a whimsical thought.

  “It’s hard to say. If the young man named Ding Tong from the God’s Palace hadn’t been seriously injured in the battle in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, no one might have been his match. But now……” Mr. Yang took a gulp of wine and said, “‘Thunder Roar’ Ding Ling from the God’s Palace, the Mermaid Princess, and the successor of Sword Daimon are all very powerful. The successors of the Hades Ghost Sect and the Sky Immortal Sect are also very mysterious. It’s hard to say who is more powerful. By the way, the mysterious bronze grimace mask man who appeared in the battle in the Hundred Thousand Mountains is also very terrifying. I guess he will show up again!”


  “The bronze grimace mask man? Is he also a master of the younger generation?” Someone was surprised.

  Mr. Yang nodded and said, “After the battle, someone investigated this man’s whereabouts and found some clues. It was said that the Heaven Sound Pavilion and the Earth Sight Pavilion sold information that this man’s age was no more than 22. It was incredible that he could defeat a master in the Semi God Realm like the Tenth Divine Prince at the age of 22 and take away the divine sword Sky Attack. He is no weaker than any of the previously-mentioned geniuses.”


  The crowd burst into an uproar.

  The identity of the bronze grimace mask man was also a hot topic recently. Many people had made their guesses. Most people thought that this man might be a master under the command of the Eldest Divine Prince in the past. That was why he had such horrible strength. They didn’t expect that he was so young.

  If he was not over 22 years old, he was only about 6 years old 16 years ago.

  He must not be a master under the command of the Eldest Divine Prince in the past.

  He was another monster-like genius.

  The people in the restaurant were all silent. These young geniuses inspired awe throughout the world at such a young age. The people in the tavern were already adults, but they just fooled around together. They all felt that their lives were gloomy.

  “Everyone, I’d like to say a word of advice to you. Now the situation on the continent is complicated. The successors of those who used to be glamorous and the forces that used to be famous all showed up one after another. The Hades Ghost Sect, the Sky Immortal Sect, the successor of Sword Daimon, the major geniuses of the God’s Palace, the Eldest Divine Prince, the bronze grimace mask man, Ding Busan, Ding Busi, the Mermaid Princess of the Sea Clan, geniuses among Ceromen, the Feather Clan of the west, the Beast Clan of the north……”


  Speaking of this, Mr. Yang sighed and drank up the whole jar of wine in one breath. He suddenly wore a dejected look and said, “Soon it will be the horrible troubled times. I have a hunch that it won’t be long before the entire millions of miles of territory of the Stone Mouth City is turned into a battlefield like a meat chopper. If you don’t have anything important to do, you’d better leave here as soon as possible. Otherwise, once the Immortal Artifact appears, there will be ferocious battles in this place. A fire on the city gate will bring disaster to the fish in the moat.”


  After saying so, he staggered to his feet and walked out of the tavern.

  Everyone was stunned.

  Previously they were chatting happily, but they didn’t expect their talk to end in this way. They had all lost interest. They felt Mr. Yang was right. Without absolute strength, it was better to leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, the battles would bring disaster to them.

  Ding Hao looked thoughtfully at the back of Mr. Yang.

  “This man might not be simple. He has told people so many secrets that ordinary people can’t know about. But why did he spread these things?”


  Thump! Thump!

  All of a sudden, there was a heavy knock on the table.

  Ding Hao’s thoughts were interrupted. When he looked up, he saw a fierce-looking man with a full beard standing in front of him. Lowering his head, the man smirked and said, “Bro, I’m short of money. Lend me a few mysterious crystals.”


  The surrounding strong men all looked at Ding Hao gloatingly.

  Ding Hao took out a low-grade mysterious crystal from inside his robe and put it on the table. “Can I have the bill?” He called the waiter. In the next moment, he disappeared mysteriously in front of everyone’s eyes.

  The man with a full beard only felt that there was a flash of wind and the young man disappeared. He was so shocked that he opened his mouth wide and immediately realized that he had met a master. He was so scared that he was covered with cold sweat.

  The others in the surroundings instantly went into an uproar.

  No one saw clearly how Ding Hao had left. His speed had exceeded the limit of their speed of reaction.

  The waiter didn’t know what had happened. He came over to collect the mysterious crystal.

  Without saying a word, the man with a full beard turned around and left. Without a second’s pause, he headed straight for the west gate of the Stone Mouth City. He left the city overnight without any delay.

  The others in the restaurant were all silent.

  Mr. Yang’s words came true in less than 30 minutes. The handsome teal-robed scholar was unknown to people, but he was so horrible. If he was angry just now, he could simply decide to slaughter all the people in the tavern…… This world was too dangerous.

  After this incident, many people in the tavern packed up in silence the next day and left the Stone Mouth City. Mr. Yang’s words and Ding Hao’s unfathomable strength had greatly shocked them.

  Although the Immortal Artifact and the immortal medicine catalyst were wonderful, one still needs to be alive to enjoy them.

  In this cold world governed by the law of the jungle, one should have a clear estimation of himself if he didn’t have enough strength. Otherwise, a lively man might become a corpse with lingering warmth in an instant.

  Perhaps Mr. Yang had really drunk too much. His steps were unsteady. His body swayed unsteadily as he left the tavern and walked home.

  The lights on both sides of the street became dimmer and dimmer, and there were fewer and fewer pedestrians.

  Although he was a little tipsy, he still came to the familiar gate of his house. It was a simple fenced courtyard, through which a two-story wooden building could be seen. It was an exquisite building and there were four or five pieces of clothes hanging on the bamboo poles in the yard, two of which were children’s short robes.

  At the sight of the children’s clothes, Mr. Yang smiled.

  However, in the next moment, his smile suddenly disappeared. Instead, he looked solemn and shocked.

  He took a step forward and covered dozens of meters to arrive at the yard. As if he had sensed something, he looked angry and said in a light voice, “Where are you from, my friend? Please show up.”


  Under the moonlight, the fenced yard was very quiet.

  “Haha, you’re worthy of being Clay Bodhisattva, once famous on the continent. You’ve lived in seclusion for so many years, but you’re still so alert.” A sudden laugh sounded, and a tall and slender figure suddenly appeared in the yard. His long hair was like a waterfall, and under the moonlight, he looked majestic and handsome.

  The man was dressed in a white robe. For a moment, it seemed that all the moonlight under the sky had gathered on his body. There seemed to be silver flowing light on him.
