Warrior's Promise

Like Su Mo, Long Teng had been observing the top experts of the Dragon Tribe carefully. He took particular notice of the Dragon Emperor as this decision would affect his status in the future.

The Dragon Emperor wore a neutral expression and this caused Long Teng to get increasingly anxious.

He could only obtain a high status in the Dragon Tribe after the acceptance of the Dragon Emperor and this was the only way for him to help Su Mo.

Long Teng had asked the Dragon Emperor in front of everyone because he knew that the Dragon Emperor would not reject the Chaotic Archosaur’s inheritance in front of everyone.

After hearing Long Teng’s words, numerous Dragon Tribesmen looked at the Dragon Emperor Tun Xu. Everyone was nervous.

The crowd also knew that Long Teng wanting to become the new Archosaur depended heavily on the acknowledgement of Tun Xu Dragon Emperor. Otherwise, his efforts would be in vain.

After all, Tun Xu Dragon Emperor was the leader of the Dragon Tribe and the strongest person there.

If Tun Xu Dragon Emperor did not acknowledge Long Teng, a huge change would befall the Dragon Tribe.

A slight smile played on the lips of the Dragon Emperor as he heard Long Teng’s question.

“Hehe, how would I oppose the inheritance of the Chaotic Archosaur? Long Teng, you have the qualifications to become the new Archsoaur.” Tun Xu Dragon Emperor smiled.

However, behind this smiling façade, one could sense the cold intention behind it.

The Grand Elder heaved a soft sigh of relief. If the Dragon Emperor had not acknowledged Long Teng, the situation would have turned ugly.

Thankfully, Dragon Emperor decided to heed to the Chaotic Archosaur’s inheritance. Although this wasn’t a true acknowledgement, it was fine.

Long Teng had a low cultivation rank and it seemed that he was still a Rank 4 True God.

Su Mo, Si Kongyan and Long Teng all heaved sighs of relief at the Dragon Emperor’s words. If the Dragon Emperor looked down on Long Teng, they would be in trouble.

“Dragon Emperor, this is an important matter. We should carefully discuss this with the tribe regarding Long Teng’s status,” The Grand Elder suggested.

Although Long Teng could become the new Archosaur, his actual position in the Dragon Tribe needed much deliberation.

“Mm!”

The Dragon Emperor nodded his head. As his voice deepened, he shouted, “All elders, head to Sky Dragon Hall for a meeting!”

With that, the Dragon Emperor’s eyes fell on Su Mo and he instructed, “Tu Xiao, you head over too!”

As soon as he said that, the Dragon Emperor swished aside his robe and left.

A few dozen elders of the tribe followed closely after the Dragon Emperor and they all headed towards Sky Dragon Hall

Shoosh!

At that point, Long Teng transformed into his human form and landed beside the Grand Elder.

“Thank you, Grand Elder!” Long Teng now had a long curtain of gold hair. He cupped his fists respectfully towards the Grand Elder and stood tall. If it weren’t for the Grand Elder, he might not have obtained the acknowledgement of the various elders of the tribe.

Although the elders had only acknowledged the fact that he was the new Archosaur and they had not truly bowed down to him. It was better than nothing.

“This is your change!”

The Grand Elder let out a breath before he said, “Go, lets head over to Sky Dragon Hall!”

“Mm!” Long Teng nodded before he beckoned Su Mo to follow. Thereafter, the Grand Elder and the group of remaining elders passed through the crowd and headed towards Sky Dragon Hall.

Su Mo followed closely beside Long Teng. He had no idea why the Dragon Emperor wanted his presence, but he could make a rough guess.

…

Sky Dragon Hall was a grand hall in the Dragon Tribe, where large palaces stood over an area of ten thousand square feet.

This was a place where the higher-ups of the tribe discussed grave matters and it was also where the tribe invited guests from other superpowers.

In the tallest main seat of the hall, the Dragon Emperor stood in a domineering manner. His long white robe flowed below him.

Below him were thirty seven elders of the Dragon Tribe, who were all Supreme Beings.

In actual fact, there were more than thirty-seven elders Supreme Beings in the Dragon Tribe. However, some Dragon Tribe elders were not in the tribe, or perhaps not in Sky Dragon Court.

Long Teng sat on the leading right side seat beside the dragon Emperor, opposite him sat the Grand Elder.

Su Mo, on the other hand, sat on the last seat on the left of the hall. He was not an elder nor a true Dragon Tribesman. Hence his status was low and he sat at the end of the hall.

“Everyone, today Long Teng’s lifeblood has changed to become an Archosaur. This is a joyous occasion for the tribe that is worth celebrating.”

Tun Xu Dragon Emperor stared at the crowd and continued, “However, the most important matter now is to discuss Long Teng’s future status in the tribe. Feel free to speak if you have any opinions.”

“Dragon Emperor, it is the will of Chaotic Archosaur for Long Teng to become the new Archosaur. According to the rules, he should control Dragon Tribe and become the new king of Sky Dragon Holy Court!” The Grand Elder said.

“Grand Elder, don’t be too hasty in this!”

At that point, a tall, skinny and tanned elder of the Dragon Tribe stood up and objected, “Although Long Teng has become the new Archosaur, his cultivation rank is low now. Furthermore, it is a question of whether he can become a future master. He cannot control the Dragon Tribe yet.”

The moment this man uttered these words, many other elders nodded their heads, expressing their agreement.

This tall and skinny elder was the Second Elder of the Dragon Tribe. He made perfect sense with his words. Long Teng could become the new Archosaur of the Dragon Tribe and obtain respect and a status unlike any other. However, controlling the tribe at this point did not make sense.

The Grand Elder’s voice deepened and he said, “The Second Elder speaks sense. However, this is the will of the Chaotic Archosaur and we cannot disregard it.”

The Grand Elder’s opinion was also shared among many. It was true that the will of the Chaotic Archosaur could not be disobeyed.

The Chaotic Archosaur had not perished. Although it had not appeared in millennia, it was still an ancestor of the tribe that many people respected.

Long Teng’s face was calm and he did not speak out. Even if he expressed his opinion, he had limited power.

Su Mo sat at the back of the hall and quietly observed the scene.

“Dragon Emperor, what is your opinion?” Someone asked the Dragon Emperor.

After a moment of silence, Tun Xu Dragon Emperor stared at the crowd. His voice deepened as he continued, “If Long Teng can become a master in the future, he can naturally control the Dragon Tribe and lead Sky Dragon Holy Court. However, he is too weak now…..!”

The Dragon Emperor paused for a while before adding, “I believe that Long Teng becoming the new Archosaur means that he can have a high rank and status that is on par with mine. However, he needs to increase his cultivation rank now. If he surpasses me in the future, he can control the Dragon Tribe.”

The voice of the Dragon Emperor boomed through the hall with seriousness.

This meant that the Dragon Emperor temporarily would not give control of the Dragon Tribe to Long Teng. Things would have to wait until Long Teng became stronger.

The words of the Dragon Emperor resonated with many in the hall as they knew that the Dragon Emperor would not hand over control of the Dragon Tribe then.

After all, regardless of selfish reasons or the Dragon Tribe’s honor, power would not be transferred to a weakling.

Su Mo and Long Teng exchanged a look. They could see the helplessness in each other.

Tun Xu Dragon Emperor had much authority in the Dragon Tribe and there was nothing the two could do about it.

The new Archosaur was just a name and it was hard for him to control much of the Dragon Tribe.

“Everyone, what do you think of my decision?” Tun Xu Dragon Emperor stared at the crowd, his eyes were sharp and focused as he asked in a serious tone.
