Heaven Dou City

Ma Xiunuo gave an awkward laugh and sighed inwardly. Forget it. He was only taking the money and handing over the goods.

There was no need to think so much on the other party's behalf.

He handed the martial soul information file in his hand to Tang Hao.

Tang Hao reached out to take it and fixed his eyes on it.

[Dugu Aotian (12 years old)]

[Identity: Disciple of Poison Douluo Dugu Bo. Highly watched. Currently captain of Heaven Dou Royal Academy's Imperial Fighting Team.]

[Martial Soul: Thousand Poison Flood Dragon (shaped like a flood dragon, resembling a snake; its head is like a tiger's; the longest reach several zhang; its cry is like an ox's bellow)]

[Innate Soul Power: Innate Full Soul Power.]

[Level: Suspected to have already reached level 30.]

[Soul Rings: Yellow, Purple, Purple (unconfirmed).]

[Remarks: This person's temperament leans toward that of a snake—hypocritical and narrow-minded. He has a peculiar kind of domineering attitude toward women, and dislikes being contradicted most of all.]

[Therefore, effort can be put into provoking the feelings between him and Yu Tianheng over Dugu Yan.]

"Dugu Aotian?"

"Poison Douluo's disciple?"

When Tang Hao saw the Transmigrator's name and identity, he looked up at Ma Xiunuo with a strange expression.

No wonder Ma Xiunuo had asked one extra question just now about what he wanted this information for.

So he had been afraid Tang Hao was going off to get himself killed.

After all, someone wearing a gray robe, sneaking into this Martial Soul Hall and willing to pay a high price—no matter how you looked at it, he seemed like someone seeking revenge in secret.

Though in truth, that was indeed the case.

But he was only Dugu Bo's disciple.

Not Old Poison himself.

Tang Hao finished reading all the information in the file. It was very complete.

Inside were guesses about Dugu Aotian's Soul Skills, summaries of his past behavior and personality, and a compilation of places he often appeared...

Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Poison Douluo's temporary palace, the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena...

It was clear Old Ma was an honest man. Once he took the money, he did the job.

It was just that information this detailed should have been fairly confidential even within Martial Soul Hall. For Old Ma to be able to take it out meant his status was not simple either.

He was not an ordinary hall master of a Martial Soul Hall Branch.

Sighing inwardly, Tang Hao carefully put the information away into his Storage Soul Tool, then smiled at Ma Xiunuo and said, "Hall Master Ma is indeed a man of his word. The information is very complete, and it is of great help to me."

"I hope we'll have the chance to cooperate again next time."

Tang Hao placed the promised one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins on the table. Then, with Sisi leading the way, he left the place.

The Transmigrator's name and identity had already been confirmed.

Then next came travel time.

And after that, settling accounts!

Nuoding City, Martial Soul Hall. After Ma Xiunuo watched Tang Hao leave, he fell silent in his office.

He had already put the one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins into his Storage Soul Tool, so there was no need to fear his subordinates finding out that Master Ma Xiunuo, whom they had always respected, had actually just accepted a bribe and sold information.

It was just...

"Dugu Aotian." Ma Xiunuo looked heavily at the name.

Everything had a cause and effect. If someone would spend a large sum of money to buy information on Dugu Aotian from him, then Dugu Aotian had definitely appeared near Nuoding City recently.

Otherwise, why would that person not ask in Heaven Dou City, but instead come all the way to this remote city of his to ask?

And he must have done something that made that gray-robed man want to find him at all costs.

As for the major events that had happened in Nuoding City recently, there was only one.

"Qixia Village."

Ma Xiunuo fell silent, then sighed and crossed out that name.

Su Yuntao was unwilling to accept it, and naturally, he was even more unwilling.

But there was no evidence.

Wild guesses would not make Dugu Aotian receive the punishment he deserved. Instead, they would bring a catastrophic disaster upon Martial Soul Hall in this small city.

As before, it was better to pretend he had seen nothing.

The deep night gradually passed, and the next day arrived.

Tang Hao got up from the rented room in the tavern.

His bare upper body was covered in mottled scars, spreading across his entire chest like the gnarled roots of an old tree.

There were even more sword and blade marks on his back. These were all injuries he had suffered in that battle against Spirit Hall's previous Supreme Pontiff.

Even now, they still had not healed.

But it would be soon. Tang Hao draped his clothes over himself, a gray robe covering his body and hiding his face.

The Transmigrator he was looking for happened to live in Heaven Dou City, the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Once he was done beating him, he could conveniently head to Sunset Forest near Heaven Dou City, find the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and use the Immortal Herbs there to treat his injuries.

After asking the tavern owner for directions to Heaven Dou City, Tang Hao's figure flashed, and he lunged toward Heaven Dou City like a great bird taking flight!

Half a month later.

Heaven Dou City.

Tang Hao passed through the towering city gates and looked up at the bustling crowd on the streets.

Heaven Dou City was extremely prosperous. Every street was paved with blue bricks, and any one of them was wider than Nuoding City's main road.

But none of this was anything unusual to Tang Hao. After all, no matter how grand the cities built by the people of this era were, they could not compare to even a third-tier city back in his hometown.

However, after arriving here, he discovered a rather major problem.

He did not know the way.

Whether it was Heaven Dou Royal Academy or the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena, he had no idea where any of them were.

After all, the places where the Clear Sky Sect had often been active in the past were in the Star Luo Empire.

They rarely came to the Heaven Dou Empire.

Even when they did, there were dedicated people to receive them, so he never needed to bother remembering the routes.

Still, these should all be famous places. He just needed to ask someone for directions.

Walking slowly through the city, Tang Hao looked toward both sides of the street, searching for the location of a tavern.

If he wanted to ask for directions, a tavern was the best place.

All kinds of people mingled there, from every corner of the land.

Because of that, tavern owners generally doubled as information brokers, earning some extra money on the side.

One incense stick's time later, at Treasure Tavern.

It was called a tavern, but its function had already become increasingly close to the hotels of Tang Hao's previous life.

While specializing in alcoholic drinks, it also provided lodging.

The Treasure Tavern Tang Hao found was even more luxuriously decorated, its entire body a purple-gold color, shaped like a pagoda.

Its seven floors rose layer upon layer, just like an enlarged Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

"An industry of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"

Looking up at the ornately decorated tavern, Tang Hao gave a faint smile.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect seemed to be very fond of the words "Treasure." Not only did taverns use "Treasure" in their names, even blacksmith shops and auction houses did the same.

Moreover, as members of the Upper Three Sects, the Clear Sky Sect, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had always stood together as closely connected allies.

If he asked for directions here, perhaps he would not only be able to find the way, but also find the person.

With a flip of his palm, a token appeared in his hand. This was a token the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had given him when he had traveled the continent in the past.

Seeing it was like seeing an elder.

Within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's businesses, it carried tremendous influence.

It should be enough to make the people of this tavern search for someone on his behalf.

Thoughts turning in his mind, Tang Hao held the token and walked into Treasure Tavern.

Meanwhile, in the distance, at Treasure Pavilion, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's largest business in Heaven Dou City, a group of people wearing Heaven Dou Royal Academy uniforms walked out of Treasure Pavilion, smiles on their faces.
