Warrior's Promise

Su Mo returned to Cosmic World Star.

When he had just arrived at the skies above Cosmic World Star and barely landed, Elder Huo Zhong approached him in a flash.

“Elder Huo, how are things?” Su Mo asked.

“All under control. This Star only permits entrances but not exits, and no one can communicate with the outside world!” Elder Huo Zhong nodded. Everything was arranged properly.

“That’s good!” Su Mo sighed, but he also knew that some information might have been spread to other Stars nearby while the Elder was making the arrangements.

However, that was all within controllable range. Next, he had to set up a large trap for Di Yihun.

“How about the Earth Palace, the Demon Tribe, the Netherworld Tribe, and the other forces?” Su Mo asked.

“Why don’t you ask them?” Elder Huo Zhong looked into the distance where powerful figures were heading towards them from all directions. They were indeed Gongsun Mu, the Sky Tyrant Emperor, and the gang.

Swoosh~

Very soon, they landed in front of Su Mo.

“Su Mo, is Tuoba Qingyun resolved?” Gongsun Mu Palace Master of the Eternal Shrine spoke first, while the others glared at Su Mo.

They had done many things for Su Mo. If Tuoba Qingyun had not been resolved, then there would be more trouble in the future.

They were undecided. If Su Mo had brought along this super being beside him to deal with Tuoba Qingyun, it would have been a piece of cake. But Su Mo had gone alone, so they were not sure if Su Mo would succeed or not.

“It’s been taken care of!” Su Mo said.

The group instantly felt relieved. All was well.

“Su Mo, we have restrained the Demon Tribe, the Undying Tribe, the Netherworld Tribe, the Earth Palace, and the Lightning Flame Supreme Being Palace, among others. One word from you and we can vanquish them!” The Sky Tyrant Emperor said domineeringly. They wasted no effort in dealing with these races and forces. After all, their super beings were dead.

Su Mo paused before speaking, “Leave them be for now, listen to me.”

Su Mo was not interested in genocide. After all, there were billions of them, and most of them were innocent.

He planned to locate the Chaotic Lord and the members of the Firmament Palace first, then leave it for the Chaotic Lord to decide. It would be enough for him as long as all those who had participated in the siege of Gu Zhouxing were eliminated.

“Alright, we’ll keep on restraining them!” Reverend Tian Xing nodded.

“Su Mo, may I ask who this is?” One of them asked Su Mo anxiously as he stared at Elder Huo Zhong.

They all wanted a definite answer. Had Su Mo really left Cosmic Star and ventured into other Worlds?

Actually, during the time he had been away, they had tried to approach Elder Huo Zhong, but the latter ignored them.

“He’s someone you can’t afford to offend!” Su Mo said lightly. Then, with a shift in thought, he freed Long Teng and Ling Chang from another spatial device.

“Let’s go to the Dragon Tribe!” Su Mo glanced at them. Then, in a flash, they headed towards the location of the Dragon Tribe.

At present, Tun Xu Dragon Emperor and Long Bai were dead. The former elder Long Chang had been expelled from the tribe. The Dragon Tribe was temporarily left without a leader.

Long Teng, as the Archosaur, should have been their next leader even though he was not the strongest.

Soon, Su Mo, Long Teng, and Ling Chang arrived at the Dragon Tribe’s city.

A large defensive array was still erected over the city cluster. Evidently, the Dragon Tribe was still afraid.

“Remove the array!” Su Mo stood in the air above the city, his voice booming like thunder and containing undeniable power.

Within the city, the Dragons looked up, all bearing different expressions.

A portion of their Supreme Beings discussed things momentarily. Then, without delay, they quickly withdrew the array.

They dared not refuse because they could not afford to come under Su Mo’s fury.

Surely, that was one of the reasons. Tun Xu Dragon Emperor had ignored the deaths of many for his own selfishness, and that had left the Dragon Tribe in despair.

Secondly, Long Teng was with Su Mo, so the top powers were less compelled to reject.

When Long Teng managed to break through to the Supreme Being Realm, he had been absolutely radiant and also won the respect of his people. But Tun Xu Dragon Emperor had casually made an excuse to restrain him.

Many had voiced their opposition regarding this, but were unable to sway Tun Xu Dragon Emperor.

The Dragon Tribe had been hoping for Long Teng’s freedom to be restored.

“All Supreme Beings of the Dragon Tribe, gather at the Conference Hall!” Su Mo commanded, then cued Long Teng to take him there.

Soon, Su Mo arrived at the Conference Hall. Most of the other Elders, a few hundred of them, had already gathered there.

The Dragon Tribe was strong. They had several Advanced Supreme Beings and hundreds of other Low-rank Supreme Beings.

Su Mo, Long Teng, and Ling Chang stood in the center of the hall, surveying the Elders.

“Long Teng, you sit there!” Su Mo pointed at the above, hinting him to take the seat. Su Mo’s had no idea how long it would take Di Yihun to return to Cosmic World, so he wanted Long Teng to lead the Dragon Tribe and help him with the arrangements.

He could not manage the Cosmic World all by himself. He needed the Dragon Tribe as his spokesperson.

“Erm...!” Long Teng hesitated. It would be arrogant of him to do so!

But the other members of the Dragon tribe were quite welcoming. They clenched their fists and saluted him, “Please take the throne!”

To them, it was their wish that Longteng become the new leader of the Dragon Tribe.

With Tun Xu Dragon Emperor gone, who else could lead them other than Long Teng?

“Alright!”

Since his people acknowledged his position, Long Teng nodded and, without delay, marched towards the throne, turned around, and sat down.

“Firmament Archosaur!”

The Elders all bowed to him respectfully. From that day onwards, the Dragon Tribe would have a new beginning.

“That’s great!”

Su Mo nodded slightly, and then he requested another Elder to arrange accommodation for him.

He did not stay long after that. The Elder led him and Ling Chang to one of the palaces.

As for Long Teng, he remained in the Conference Hall, making plans for his Tribe and taking control.

...

In the palace, Su Mo and Ling Chang sat opposite each other.

“It’s been smooth sailing so far!” Ling Chang spoke to Su Mo in a calm and gentle manner.

“So far so good. It’s not hard dealing with Tuoba Qingyun, but Di Yihun might be a problem!” Su Mo said solemnly.

“We have to come up with a solution as soon as possible. Di Yihun might return to the Cosmic World at any time.” Ling Chang urged him.

“Yes, when Long Teng has finished settling his matters, I’ll let him see to it!” Su Mo nodded, then he looked outside the palace and said softly, “Is Elder Huo here?”

Amid the silence, Elder Huo Zhong instantly emerged from the entrance.

Elder Huo Zhong was not proficient in the Rule of Space, but he was highly trained and fast. It was as though he had appeared out of thin air.

“Elder Huo, there are many rooms here. Why don’t you stay?” Su Mo offered.

“Sure!” Huo Zhong nodded and entered the palace. He took a seat next to Su Mo.

From where he sat, Su Mo turned over his palm and conjured a white bead. He had gotten it from Tun Xu Dragon Emperor. Long Teng used to be imprisoned there.

Su Mo’s thoughts entered the bead. The space in the bead was extremely vast, akin to a Small World.

The space inside the bead was solid, perhaps many times more than the outside. Its many arrays allowed the space to be as hard as a copper or iron wall.

If it was not opened from the outside, the people inside, regardless of their strengths, would not be able to come out.

That was how Tun Xu Dragon Emperor trapped Long Teng inside that space.

“Not bad!” Su Mo nodded, put the bead away, then began a conversation with Ling Chang and Elder Huo.

A few minutes later, Long Teng came to Su Mo’s palace and sat opposite him.

Su Mo briefly introduced him to Elder Huo with a quick mention of the Elder’s training and strength.

“It’s an honor to meet you, Elder Huo!” Long Teng quickly bowed to him. All this time he had been inside Su Mo’s spatial device. Though he had never seen Elder Huo in action, he heard from the Dragon Tribe Elders that Elder Huo had slayed many powerful enemies.

“Rise!” Elder Huo said calmly. He did not show closeness in spite of the friendly relationship etween Long Teng and Su Mo.

“Long Teng, I have some work for you!” Su Mo said.

“Do tell.” Long Teng nodded.

“Firstly, I want you to send your people out, as many as you can, to spread the news of my return to the entire Cosmic World, so that the people of the Firmament Palace can seek me out,” said Su Mo.

He might have killed Gu Sha Demon Emperor and the rest of the opposing team, and news would spread fast because of the many witnesses, but Su Mo still hoped it could go faster, so that those who belonged to the Firmament Palace could hurry back.

Furthermore, if the Chaotic Lord and the members of the Firmament Palace were hiding in the deeper end, they would not receive word so quickly if the news did not spread to every corner of the world.

“Alright!” Long Teng nodded.

“Secondly, I don’t want any information regarding Elder Huo Zhong’s presence to be leaked out of Cosmic World Star. You, together with the Sky Tyrant Tribe and the Star Tribe, are in charge of snuffing it out. Once news comes up in the surrounding Stars, suppress it immediately.” Su Mo ordered again.

Although the Cosmic World Star had been tweaked by Elder Huo Teng, such that individuals and information alike could get in but not go out, news might have spread before it had been done.

Even if everyone else on Cosmic World Star knew about Elder Zhong, the outside world would not let the news spread.

“Alright then, do that first!” Su Mo nodded. As for the means to deal with Di Yihun, he was still thinking about it, and he needed to come up with a strategy himself.

“You’ll need a way to leave this Star...!” Elder Huo Zhong spoke. He had cast an Earth-Based Rule on Cosmic World Star. They would require a special method to get out.

Next, Elder Huo Zhong told Long Teng, in detail, the way to leave Cosmic World Star.
