Ding Hao couldn’t wait to come to the city. Actually, he aimed to collect some information about his father. But now it seemed that the information he heard along the way was very limited, for he just wandered around like a headless chicken.

“The westernmost side of the Stone Mouth City is the military camp, which belongs to God’s Palace Army. It’s heavily guarded. Don’t stray into there; otherwise, you’ll be regarded as spies and be killed absolutely…” The guide warned seriously, pointing to the black stone hall building in the distance.

Ding Hao glanced at the building and kept the guide’s words in mind.

If he always heard nothing from his father, he might have to sneak into the military camp again to make an investigation.

“Oh, by the way, there are many forces in this city, so don’t get yourself into trouble with some of the followings, such as Heavenly Compassion Hall of the Nalan family, North Ghosts Tea House of the North Ghosts Sect and so on. They are all high-ranking forces. Sometimes, when they are overbearing and you have to endure it or you will likely be killed…” The old guide went on and on, explaining some taboos in the city.

Ding Hao was struck by a thought.

The old man seemed to be so familiar with the Stone Mouth Town that everything was like observing lines on the palm to him.

“I wonder if you know there is any place in the city that is a good source of information. It’s my caravan’s first trip here, so I’m unfamiliar with everything…” Ding Hao asked tentatively.

The old man looked at Ding Hao and said, “As long as you have enough money, you can get whatever information you want. There are five or six forces selling information for a living, such as the two forces: the Heaven Sound Pavilion and the Earth Sight Pavilion. Money can let you get any kind of information. The more secretive the information, the higher the price.”

“Oh? Such good news!” Ding Hao was pleased.

The old man said with a smile, “Your words show that it’s really your first time to the Stone Mouth City, Lord. As the largest city on the eastern and western border, it is called a castle between daybreak and the darkness by many people. As long as you have enough power and money, you can buy any services.”

Half an hour later, Ding Hao arrived at the door of the Heaven Sound Pavilion.

After sending Nalan Chu brother and sister back to the manor, Ding Hao came here alone.

He initially thought that the location of such kind of information-selling force would be concealed. Unexpectedly, it was opened on the main street less than 2,000 meters away from the military camp of God’s Palace. It was a white marble tower with 18 floors, and nearly 100 meters high with a round shape and a snow-white body. In the evening faint mist, it was extremely eye-catching.

Heaven Sound Pavilion, the three big words hung on the body of the tower from top to bottom. The strokes moved like dragons and snakes. As for the words, they were like iron hooks. At first glance, with a natural charm of the Great Tao emanating in the air, they contained great power like three strange supreme runes.

These three words, like three terrifying masters, were guarding the white tower.

“The engraver must be a God Realm Master with high ambitions, who engraved Taoist Senses in the words…” Ding Hao was secretly shocked. He had practiced the inscription in the way of some nation’s characters, also a kind of character. So he could experience the power of the three words to a greater extent.

To his surprise, there was a God Realm Master in the Heaven Sound Pavilion. Ding Hao retracted his contempt in the heart.

When he stepped into the white tower, a spacious space emerged in front of him.

As he had expected, it was a space tactical deployment.

Seventeen teleport tactical deployments flashing with different colors and flames were slowly shining in the middle of the space. In front of each formation stood a master in a black cloak veiling their faces. These seventeen tactical deployments led to the other seventeen floors of the white tower. According to previous words of the guide, the higher the floor was, the more hidden and more valuable the information for sale was.

Ding Hao chose a teleport tactical deployment at random and came to the black-cloaked master, saying, “I want to know something about the eldest Divine Prince of the God’s Palace.”

The black-cloaked man pointed at a tactical deployment flickering with scarlet flames beside him and said, “The 17th floor.”

What he meant was that the information about the eldest Divine Prince of God’s Palace was extremely confidential, and could only be sold on the 17th floor.

He came to the front of the tactical deployment which flashed with scarlet flame.

“One thousand top-grade mysterious crystals or other similar items,” the black-cloaked master standing in front of the tactical deployment said lightly without looking up.

It was merely the price of using the tactical deployment.

Without bargaining, Ding Hao took out a thousand purple top-grade mysterious crystals from his storage space and handed them over. Then, he walked into the tactical deployment.

A flash of brilliance sparkling, he was directly teleported away.

The next moment, he came to a dark space where only one shaft of light shone through. An old wooden chair sat a figure in a long robe that was turning his back to Ding Hao. His long hair hanged down and fell to the ground.

“A question is worth a thousand top-grade mysterious crystals or some other equivalent items. A piece of jade token information is worth ten thousand top-grade mysterious crystals or other equivalent items.” Came an elderly voice from the figure who still turned his back to Ding Hao without turning around.

Ding Hao took a deep breath.

“Is it true that Ding Shengtan, the former eldest Divine Prince of the God’s Palace, appeared in the Stone Mouth Town recently?” Ding Hao asked the first question.

Then a black plate silently flew to the front of him.

He was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood its meaning and put in 1,000 mysterious crystals.

“Yes,” the long-haired figure replied with a single word.

Only such one word was worth 1,000 top-grade mysterious crystals.

But Ding Hao was shocked and overjoyed.

With a history of nearly a thousand years, Heaven Sound Pavilion had never sold wrong information nor had they been heard of cheating customers since it appeared in the Stone Mouth City, which was a genuine golden brand that was trustworthy.

Among other things, merely the three large words hanging on the white tower could make perfect sense.

They would absolutely disdain to deceit in their work under the dignity of God Realm Masters.

If that was the case, it would mean that his father had appeared and this information would definitely not be false anymore.

After thinking for a while, Ding Hao put 1,000 top-grade mysterious crystals on the black plate again and continued to ask, “Is the eldest Divine Prince still in the territory of the Stone Mouth City?”

“Yes.”

Only one word again.

“Where is he?” Ding Hao asked.

With his back to Ding Hao, the long-haired man did not answer.

Ding Hao was unexpected and stunned, and then gave a bitter smile while putting a thousand nonpareil mysterious crystals in the black plate again.

“Most of the time, inside the city.”

It was not just one word for this time.

But it was a great shock to Ding Hao.

“What? My father is in the Stone Mouth City now?”

“How can I find him?” Ding Hao said, and he was about to put the mysterious crystals into the plate again.

But this time, the black plate was moved away silently, meaning that the mysterious crystals wouldn’t be accepted. Then a slow voice came from the long and black-haired man, “Heaven Sound Pavilion is not omnipotent. I don’t know the answer.”

“You don’t know?” Ding Hao said, and he was greatly regretful.

However, he also knew that his question was too detailed. Even if using special means, the Heaven Sound Pavilion could not determine his father’s position due to his extreme prudence and strong strength.

Otherwise, as long as the people from God’s Palace came here and asked a few questions just with some money, his father had already been discovered long ago.

Calming down and thinking for a while, Ding Hao directly threw 10,000 top-grade mysterious crystals on the black plate and said, “Give me the most detailed information about the appearance of the eldest Divine Prince in the Stone Mouth Town in recent three months, including the process of the battles and results.”

Later, there was a moment of silence in the darkness.

“So thrifty of you.” The man’s voice was hoary and old. After a little hesitation, he let a palm-sized Jade Card fly from his side and it landed in Ding Hao’s palm.

Ding Hao instilled Divine Senses to explore and figure out all the information contained in it.

Although it was hopeless to improve the weakness of having no sense of direction, Ding Hao had a good memory in other aspects. He could clearly remember the contents of the Jade Card for reading only once. After reading all of it, he returned the Jade Card.

In fact, the Jade Card belonged to him after bidding.

However, he was very careful. If the Jade Card had implanted an extremely strong mark by the Heaven Sound Pavilion, it was like a hidden danger to carry around. After all, there was a God Realm Master in the Heaven Sound Pavilion, and for this reason, Ding Hao did not want to take risks.

“Eh?” The long-haired figure nodded and received the Jade Card.

“The Jade Card is worth 1,000 top-grade mysterious crystals. Since you have returned it, I can answer a question for you for free.” The aged voice came.

Ding Hao thought for a moment and asked, “It is said that the eldest Divine Prince and his concubine had been reclusive at the same time, and they were both great figures. Why only the eldest Divine Prince appeared this time, but there was no news of his concubine?”

“You seem to be particularly interested in the eldest Divine Prince and his concubine?” the long-haired man asked in reply.

Ding Hao wore a bronze grimace mask so that his facial expression could not be seen clearly. He said lightly, “I remember that there is no such thing as inquiring about details of guests in the purpose of your pavilion.”

“I’m just a little curious.”

“Everyone has curiosity, but my answer is also worth a thousand top-grade mysterious crystals,” Ding Hao said faintly.

“Hahahaha.” The long-haired man laughed and spoke in his elderly voice. “Interesting. I haven’t met such an interesting guest for a long time. Our pavilion not only sells information but also would purchase it. If you know anything confidential, and you are willing to sell, we must offer a high price for you.”

Ding Hao wasn’t swayed by him and said, “You’d better answer my question first.”

The long-haired man stopped laughing and said, “According to the information we have collected, the concubine of Divine Prince seemed to be seriously injured so that was inconvenient to show up. The reason why the eldest Divine Prince took the risk to reveal his traces this time is that he desired to find a kind of the main component of the medicine and refine it into an immortal medicine to heal his concubine.”

Ding Hao was shocked.

Without asking other questions, he turned to leave.
