Ding Hao’s face suddenly changed. He looked shocked.

“I’ll make a trip to the Celestial Tribe.”

Before his voice died away, Ding Hao had already disappeared.

The Celestial City in the Celestial Tribe.

It was a small city which was built hastily. There were no tall buildings or sturdy city walls but a wooden palace and fences made of wood 1,000 years old, which were imbued with natural beauty.

After reading the thick stack of spy reports, Ding Hao looked dignified.

“Is there any chance that these messages are wrong?” Ding Hao asked calmly.

Jin Keyan, the bodyguard, said respectfully, “These are the messages collected by the Celestial Tribe’s scouts in the sentry posts outside the region. They are definitely true as they are verified by many parties. The news of the eldest Divine Prince of the God’s Palace showed up in the west has circulated in the continent.”

Ding Hao nodded slightly.

A month ago, there was shocking news in the Eastern Continent that the eldest Divine Prince Ding Shengtan, who betrayed the God’s Palace and was seriously injured by the God Emperor 16 years ago, suddenly appeared in a small city in the west of the Eastern Continent. Somehow, he was discovered by the garrison of the God’s Palace. However, after a big battle, the garrison of the God’s Palace was almost completely annihilated and the eldest Divine Prince escaped…

When the news got out, the entire world was shocked.

Everyone knew what it meant. At that time, the eldest Divine Prince and the 13th Divine Prince were known as the two favored talents of the God’s Palace. They were both popular candidates for inheriting the throne. Moreover, the eldest Divine Prince had the bloodline of the God Emperor. Both his prestige and strength were more outstanding than these of the 13th Divine Prince. Therefore, he gradually gained the upper hand in the competition for the throne. Countless people thought that the next emperor would be the eldest Divine Prince…

Who knew that the situation would suddenly change? The eldest Divine Prince became a rebel overnight and the 13th prince inherited the throne.

It was said that the eldest prince had an enormous influence at that time. In the God’s Palace, a great number of people still supported and believed in him. Even though the 13th Divine Prince had inherited the throne for 16 years, he had not completely eliminated the eldest Divine Prince’s dedicated followers and henchmen by hard means.

Some claimed that if the eldest Divine Prince showed up in public and made a call to arms for himself, countless people would respond to him, and he would still have the capital and strength to fight against the 13th Divine Prince. At that time, the God’s Palace would be divided into two parts.

However, in the past 16 years, the eldest Divine Prince had been elusive. No one knew where he went, and no one knew whether he was dead or alive. Occasionally, there was news about him, but it was proved to be false in the end.

But this time was obviously different.

Not only the army of the God’s Palace but also many people saw the figure of the eldest Divine Prince. That stunning and magnificent eldest Divine Prince was more powerful now. The army of the God’s Palace stationed in Stone Mouth City was one of the elites under the command of the current God Emperor now, but it was almost destroyed by the eldest Divine Prince’s one move…

That day, many people saw the face of the eldest Divine Prince.

This was the first time that the eldest Divine Prince had shown his tracks clearly.

This was interpreted as a signal by many people.

It was a signal that he was coming back.

All of a sudden, not only the Eastern Continent but also the entire God’s Palace was shocked, and undercurrents were surging as many older friends, relatives and followers of the eldest Divine Prince were thrilled. Just this news alone caused the entire court to show signs of falling apart.

The God Emperor was so furious that he mobilized his armies and sent experts to search for and arrest the eldest Divine Prince.

It was said that because of this matter, the war between the God’s Palace and the Feather Clan in the West was temporarily suspended. The God’s Palace, which gained the upper hand, took the initiative to make peace with the Feather Clan. The elite masters in the army were transferred out and rushed overnight to the area within 5,000 kilometers of the Stone Mouth Town…

At the same time, many strong and secluded masters who were under the command of the eldest Divine Prince before also rushed to the Stone Mouth Town. They wanted to find out if the king in their hearts was willing to stage a comeback…

The eldest Divine Prince had been in charge of more than half of the soldiers of the God’s Palace before. He was genuine and kind to people and valued talents very much, and many legendary masters in the God’s Palace were recruited by him. After he was rumored to have betrayed the God’s Palace, these people didn’t believe and weren’t willing to work for the God’s Palace but chose to live in seclusion.

Although they had not been involved in the continent’s affairs for many years, they were still a very powerful force. Even after the 13th Divine Prince took over the position of God Emperor, he did not dare to suppress these meritorious men too much.

If they united together, they would be a formidable force.

Countless heroes changed their faces at the moment.

With the Stone Mouth Town as the center, the horrible undercurrent began to surge wildly. Experts, young geniuses, and countless outstanding talents appeared in this area with different thoughts. It could be said that the situation here was unpredictable.

After all, the scout post of the Celestial Tribe had not been established for a long time, and it only covered an area of more than 100,000 kilometers outside the Ocean Forest, so it was nearly half a month later when they got the news. In addition, Ding Hao had been cultivating in seclusion. Therefore, it wasn’t until today that he got the news.

Ding Hao was ambivalent about the spy report on the desk.

The surprise was that his father finally showed up, which meant that he might be able to find him. The worry was that his father was seriously injured back then, and Ding Hao didn’t know if he was in good condition and if he would be in danger in the face of such a behemoth as the God’s Palace.

Moreover, his mother, Yu Qingcheng, had always been with his father. Why was there no news of her this time?

“Could it be that something bad has happened to her?” Ding Hao thought.

For a moment, Ding Hao’s mind was really in a mess.

He wished he could get to the Stone Mouth Town at once.

“No, I have to hurry there. Maybe I can help my father at that time.” Ding Hao was very anxious.

“Pass down my order, the guard camp should be prepared for setting off. This time, I’m heading to a place tens of millions of kilometers away from the Ocean Forest. It might be dangerous. If the soldiers in the guard are willing to accompany me on this expedition, they would be rewarded handsomely. If they’re unwilling to leave their hometown, they wouldn’t be punished… Those who are willing to go need to prepare immediately. We’ll set out tomorrow morning,” Ding Hao said to Jin Keyan with a rigorous look after thinking for a while.

He didn’t want to involve the physical cultivation masters of the Ocean Forest in this matter, but on second thought, maybe they would come in handy at critical moments. For the sake of his father, Ding Hao couldn’t help being selfish.

Jin Keyan was stunned as he had never seen the Celestial Master with such a serious expression.

He immediately understood that there must be something important on this trip. Did it have something to do with the eldest Divine Prince? The young man was eager to have a try, so he quickly accepted the order and went out.

“I can’t tell Xiao Lan and others about this for the time being, but since I have to leave, I have to tell them in advance.” Ding Hao tried to calm down to handle the matter in a more detailed and perfect way.

He returned to the Mountain Gate of Fortune.

A month later, they were less than 10,000 miles away from the Stone Mouth Town.

They consisted of a small caravan with more than 1,000 highly-trained people. They cut through the two-meter-high vanilla stalks on the fragrant grassland in summer. Before nightfall, they chose a place close to the riverbank and set up their camps.

The long journey had exhausted all of them.

A luxurious carriage drawn by eight divine dragon horses stopped in the middle of the campsite. A fat white cat was lying lazily on the shaft of the carriage, sleeping in the setting sun. It squinted slightly and stared at the river not far away, with an extremely imperceptible light flashing in its eyes.

A black dog with three heads which was as large as a calf was lying in front of the wheels, cautiously observing its surroundings. Its ferocious and scary face frightened people away.

The fellows of the caravan were all burly men, who were two or three heads taller than the common people and had bulging muscles and steady footsteps. Their Qi cultivation was not high, but they seemed to be full of strength. No one knew what was inside the tall carriages which looked very heavy. They surrounded the city in a circle like a small city wall.

Thousands of men like them gathered together, showing a sense of wildness and toughness.

As the door of the luxurious carriage opened, a slender figure in a green shirt slowly walked out.

In terms of the figure, every part of this man was perfect. Judging from his exposed skin, it was not hard to know that he should be very young. With thick and long hair, he was full of youthful spirit. However, he was wearing a bronze grimace mask that seemed to be crying and laughing at the same time, which made him look mysterious.

“Celestial Master, if we go any further, we will enter the territory of the Stone Mouth Town,” a strong young man said respectfully.

The man with the bronze grimace mask nodded.

“The news I received these days shows the eldest Divine Prince has not left the Stone Mouth Town yet. He showed up and killed several experts of the God’s Palace. It seems that he is waiting for someone, or he has other plans. Now what happened these days has caused a stir among all parties. More and more forces and experts have rushed there…” the young man said in a low voice.

“I see.” The man with the bronze grimace mask nodded and said, “We have been traveling for three days and three nights. Everyone is exhausted, so we don’t need to move on tonight. Let’s have a good rest.”

“Yes, my lord.” The young man answered and immediately passed down the order.

This group of people was naturally Ding Hao and the physical cultivation masters from the Ocean Forest.

The experts of the Guard Camp scrambled to come out with the Celestial Master. However, considering that too many people would cause inconvenience in the outer region, he chose some powerful masters who had fewer bonds in the Ocean Forest to accompany him. There were about 900 Martial Grand Emperors and 100 Sage Realm masters. They disguised themselves as a caravan and walked out of the Ocean Forest to head for the Stone Mouth Town.

The Ocean Forest was in the east of the Eastern Continent, while the Stone Mouth Town was in the west. They were millions of kilometers away from each other. It was such a long distance that the common people couldn’t cross it even if they spent their whole life, and even the most powerful cultivators would spend a long time crossing it.
