At that point, everyone’s eyes were fixed on Su Mo.
A few moments later, Su Mo arrived above the stage. He slowly lowered himself onto the stage beside Long Teng.
“Greetings to Dragon Emperor, Grand Elder and Elders!” Su Mo cupped his fists together and bowed towards the higher-ups of Dragon Tribe.
“At ease!” Tun Xu Dragon Emperor wore a calm expression.
The group of Dragon Tribesmen stared at Su Mo with slight surprise. Many of them were wondering whether Tu Xiao was Qin Yun.
Su Mo stared at the crowd and remained calm. He was not afraid of the attention on him.
All of a sudden, Tu Xiao stood up, his eyes were as sharp as swords. Glaring deathly at Su Mo, he said, “I don’t know, should I call you Tu Xiao? Qin Yun? Or Su Mo?”
As soon as Zi Xiao spoke, the whole area turned silent. Everyone’s heart jumped at the thought that Tu Xiao was Qin Yun. Qin Yun was the culprit who had obtained the Ultimate Sword Art, killed Gu Jianshan, Yun Mu, Qian Huan Demon Lord and Tuoba Liuming, bringing chaos to the entire universe.
“My name is Su Mo, Palace Master Zi Xiao, how have you been?” Su Mo smirked as he stared back at Zi Xiao. The two exchanged death glares and a cold aura filled the grounds.
“Very good!”
Zi Xiao nodded his head with a smirk as well. Thereafter, he turned towards Dragon Emperor and cupped his fists, “Dragon Emperor, Su Mo is a disciple of the Ultimate Sword Domain. I would like to bring him back today. Is that okay with you?”
Zi Xiao was utterly polite as he knew that without the permission of the Dragon Tribe, he had no authority to take Su Mo away.
“Dragon Emperor, Su Mo killed Tuoba Liuming. This grudge cannot be resolved and we will have to take him to Earth Palace today!” Supreme Being Di Cang shot out of his seat and shouted.
He naturally would not want Zi Xiao to take Su Mo as he knew that if Zi Xiao was successful in doing so, Su Mo would belong to Heavenly Palace.
“Dragon Emperor, Su Mo killed Yun Mu, a Favored One of the Lightning Flame Supreme Being Palace, he cannot be forgiven!”
“Su Mo also killed Gu Jianshan of the Great Rotating Divine Hall!”
“Lin Qianhuan of the Paramount Holy Palace was also killed by Su Mo!”
Yan Huo Supreme Being of Lightning Flame Supreme Being Palace, Chi Yun Supreme Being of Great Rotating Divine Hall and another Supreme Being of Paramount Holy Palace spoke.
At that point, Su Mo was like a devil that was hated by all.
On the other hand, the Ancient Demon State, Chaotic Holy Hall and other superpowers were silent, they did not want to interfere themselves in the sscene.
Dragon Emperor Tun Xu did not reply to them immediately. Instead, he glanced at Su Mo and sternly asked, “Tu Xiao, with so many crimes committed, how could you hide your identity and infiltrate the Dragon Tribe?”
The Dragon Emperor’s question caused Long Teng, Jiang Fengran and Xuan Tian Supreme Being’s faces to fall. It seemed that the Dragon Emperor had no intention to protect Su Mo.
“Dragon Emperor, your accusations are unfounded!”
Su Mo’s face remained unchanged and he countered, “Firstly, killing cannot be a sin if every expert has also killed others to get to where he is. Secondly, I entered Dragon Tribe without any hidden intentions, I merely wanted to join the Dragon Capital.”
“Don’t lie through your teeth!”
The Dragon Emperor’s eyes narrowed and he continued, “Since you are a disciple of Ultimate Sword Domain, the Dragon Tribe will not interfere in your matters, we also have no reason to protect you from the grudge between you and the rest.”
Dragon Emperor tore Su Mo away from the Dragon Tribe, this was logical since not helping Su Mo would also take the responsibility off of Long Teng’s shoulders.
Buzz buzz~~
As soon as Dragon Emperor finished, Tian Chenyu, Di Cang Supreme Being and Zi Xiao had their auras bursting out of them. All of them wanted to take on Su Mo.
Since the Dragon Tribe would not interfere, this was a good thing for them.
However, all of them were also fearful. For instance, Tian Chenyu could not allow Di Cang Supreme Being to get Su Mo nor allow Xuan Tian Supreme Being to take him.
Zi Xiao also could not allow Su Mo to be taken by Di Cang Supreme Being and Tian Chenyu, nor any other person. After all, if others took Su Mo, the Ultimate Sword Arts and Ultimate Sacred Sword would land in the hands of others.
“Do you think I do not exist?”
Right at that point, Long Teng shouted, his voice sharp and stern. His anger reverberated through his voice, “Su Mo is my brother and we will live and die together. If anyone is enemies with Su Mo, he will also be my enemy.
Long Teng’s anger and superiority in his voice spread through the grounds.
“This…!”
Zi Xiao and Tian Chenyu’s expressions instantly changed. Although Long Teng did not have a high cultivation rank, he was the new Archosaur of the Dragon Tribe. With such a high status in the tribe, they had to be wary of him.
Su Mo stood behind Long Teng and allowed Long Teng to dominate the scene. With such words, Su Mo’s enemies did not dare to force their way through.
In that moment, Zi Xiao and Tian Chenyu rapidly wrecked their brains to think of a solution.
Dragon Emperor Tun Xu did not speak. He knew that Long Teng would prevent anything from happening to Su Mo but whether or not Long Teng would succeed was none of his business.
“Long Teng, do you know that Su Mo stole the Ultimate Sword Arts and Ultimate Sacred Sword of the Ultimate Sword Domain?” Zi Xiao accused with a black face.
“I know!” Long Teng nodded.
“Since you are aware of that, do you not think that Su Mo should return the secrets of the Ultimate Sword Arts to us?” Zi Xiao continued.
“Why should I return it to you?”
Su Mo took a step forward and glared at Zi Xiao, “You are an Ultimate Sword Domain person and I am too. I have the right to possess the Ultimate Sword Arts and Ultimate Sacred Sword.
“Nonsense. You betrayed the Ultimmate Sword Domain and claim you are still a disciple?” Zi Xiao’s anger blazed in his eyes. If not for Long Teng, he would have killed Su Mo already.
“What a joke, I betrayed Ultimate Sword Domain?’
Su Mo scoffed and coldly continued, “Your intention to take Ultimate Sword Arts and Ultimate Sacred Sword for yourself is the real betrayal!”
“You…!” Zi Xiao’s face hardened and he tried to keep the anger in himself. However, there was nothing he could do as he could not take direct action.
“Supreme Being Zi Xiao, this matter is simple and I will stand by my original words. Being enemies with Su Mo is the same as being enemies with me, and hence with the Dragon Tribe!” Long Teng’s expression was cold and he pulled out the card representing the Dragon Tribe.
Although Dragon Emperor refused to protect Su Mo, he could protect Su Mo.
“Long Teng, I don’t care about the grudge between you and the Ultimate Sword Domain. However, Su Mo killed Tuoba Liuming and I cannot forgive him for that!” Di Cang Supreme Being called. Granted, he wanted to capture Su Mo not only to avenge Tuoba Liuming, but also to help Tuoba Qingyun.
Su Mo was just about to counter Di Cang Supreme Being but was stopped by Long Teng. Long Teng’s voice boomed. “I do not care who has a grudge against Su Mo. Anyone who is enemies with him is enemies with me. If you want to kill Su Mo, you must kill me first!”
Long Teng had the demeanour of a ruler and leader then. He did not leave any room for argument and silenced the entire grounds with his words.
He knew that Su Mo had too many enemies and he could not go against them one by one. He had to be domineering and stern.
The moment Long Teng spoke finished, Di Cang Supreme Being, Tian Chenyu and all of Su Mo’s enemies wore dark faces. Long Teng was so determined. They could not get around him. Their only options left were to leave the matter at that or force their way through.
The other superpowers and many Dragon Tribesmen were shocked. Long Teng and Su Mo must have had a strong relationship for Long Teng to be so protective of Su Mo.
The atmosphere around the grounds at that moment had been suppressed. Tian Chenyu and Zi Xiao did not dare to forcefully act but they tried to strategize ways to get Su Mo for themselves.
Just then, the Dragon Emperor lightly spoke, “Long Teng, as the new Archosaur of the Dragon Tribe, are you trying to create more enemies for us?”
“Dragon Emperor, Su Mo is one of us Dragon Tribesmen. As the new Archosaur, should I not protect him?” Long Teng’s expression remained unchanged and he explained to the Dragon Emperor.
“Everything will bring about karma, he has to be ready for the consequences of his actions!” Dragon Emperor calmly claimed. These words went out to everyone and he showed that he did not agree with Long Teng’s actions. The Dragon Emperor was the true leader of the tribe.
“Please make the decision Dragon Emperor!”
“Please make the decision Dragon Emperor!”
“Please make the decision Dragon Emperor!”
Di Cang Supreme Being, Tian Chenyu, ZI Xiao and many others stood up from their seats and requested, bowing to Dragon Emperor.
All of their eyes shone brightly. Since the Dragon Emperor showed his attitude clearly, as long as Tun Xu Dragon Emperor was willing to hand Su Mo to them, things would be much simpler.
