Warrior's Promise

Su Mo had been cultivating in seclusion in Firmament Archosaur Mansion. The aura in the secret chamber was vast and it was surging.

Half a year had passed since the Archosaur Ceremony had taken place. Su Mo had not stepped out of the secret chamber since then and he had been condensing his cultivation level. If he were to spend more time condensing it further, he would be able to consume a large number of Dawn Stones to help him have a breakthrough to Rank 4.

Su Mo had the intention to come out of seclusion after he’d had a breakthrough. His cultivation level was too low and he could not delay by even a single moment to bring it up.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

This day, someone knocked on the door of the secret chamber and it was Long Teng.

Su Mo ended cultivation and opened the door.

“Su Mo, so many things have happened recently!” Long Teng said.

“Tell me about it!” Su Mo said.

“Let’s talk in the hall!” Long Teng said with a sigh and turned to walk to the hall. When Su Mo saw it, he followed behind him.

Soon, the two of them were sitting in the hall and Su Mo looked at Long Teng and waited for Long Teng to update him.

“Recently, Di Yihun and Tuoba Qingyun came to Dragon City!” Long Teng told Su Mo grimly.

“Oh? Why are they here?” Su Mo’s gaze froze when he heard what Long Teng had said. He knew that the two of them must have come to the Dragon Tribe because of him. The only thing Su Mo was uncertain about was their motives.

“They were here to see the Dragon Emperor. I reckon they must have asked the Dragon Emperor to hand you over to them!”

Long Teng’s voice sounded deep and he continued, saying, “However, don’t worry. The Dragon Emperor has turned them down, saying that he will not get involved in the matter.”

Su Mo was silent when he heard what Long Teng had said. The Dragon Emperor must have turned them down because of him and Long Teng.

“What else?” Shortly, Su Mo asked again.

“Heavenly Palace and Earth Palace do not seem to be at peace. The top powers from the two palaces have been visiting the various Holy Courts and I wonder what they are up to,” Long Teng said.

“Have they been visiting the various Holy Courts?” Su Mo was silent when he heard it. He believed that Heavenly Palace and Earth Palace must have been trying to get the various Holy Courts to support them.

“Don’t worry, I have sent our men to spy on their movements. You should be safe for the time being,” Long Teng added.

“Great!” Su Mo nodded.

“One more thing, Ultimate Supreme Being is in Dragon City and he had waited for you for a few months!” Long Teng said.

“Has he waited a few months for me?”

Su Mo was surprised and he asked, “Why did you not inform me about it?”

“He must be here to ask you for the Ultimate Holy Sword and the Ultimate Sword Art. I have given him the excuse that you are cultivating in seclusion, but he insists on waiting for you!” Long Teng said. He did not chase Ultimate Supreme Being away as he wanted Su Mo to decide for himself whether he would like to meet the Ultimate Supreme Being.

“I’d like to meet him!” Su Mo replied grimly. Ultimate Supreme Being was an important person from whom Su Mo would like to get his support.

“Alright! You shall wait here while I bring him to you!” Long Teng nodded and said.

“Hmm!” Su Mo nodded. Immediately, having said that, Long Teng turned around and left.

Su Mo sat alone in the hall and started to rack his brain. He was thinking of ways to get the Ultimate Supreme Being to support him and at the same time, be able to keep the Ultimate Sword Art and Ultimate Holy Sword. He could not give up the two items.

The only way to do so would be to merge a Primordial Spirit for the Ultimate Supreme Being. However, it would not be an easy task to convince the Ultimate Supreme Being as it would put him in a vulnerable position should Su Mo decide to kill him.

Su Mo waited only for a while. Soon, Long Teng returned with the Ultimate Supreme Being, with the First Elder, Long Chang, walking with them.

Apparently, Long Teng did not trust the Ultimate Supreme Being and he had brought the First Elder along with him.

“Su Mo, finally, I get to see you!” The Ultimate Supreme Being said as he fixed his gaze on Su Mo. He was in a dark blue robe, and he had a cold look on his face when he walked into the hall.

“Elder, please take a seat!” Su Mo waved his hand and invited the elder to take a seat. That was the first time that he had met the Ultimate Supreme Being.

“Thank you!” The Ultimate Supreme Being nodded and sat opposite Su Mo. Since he needed a favor from Su Mo, he had to respond politely to him.

Long Teng and the First Elder sat beside Su Mo and looked at the Ultimate Supreme Being.

The four of them sat on each side of the hall and none of them took the main seat.

“Elder, may I know your purpose in looking for me?”Su Mo asked.

“Su Mo, you must know it! I can forego the Ultimate Holy Sword but not the Ultimate Sword Art!”

The Ultimate Supreme Being looked grave and he said, “Just tell me your conditions. As long as they are within my abilities, I will fulfill them!”

When Su Mo heard what the Ultimate Supreme Being had said, he was silent. The Ultimate Supreme Being had a great desire to get a hold of the Ultimate Sword Art.

“Su Mo, you are currently surrounded by enemies. I don’t think you will want to add me to the list!” The Ultimate Supreme Being warned Su Mo with an indifferent look.

If Su Mo did not accede to his request, he would use all means to achieve his goal.

He was not concerned even if he were to offend the Dragon Tribe. Tun Xu Dragon Emperor would not be able to deal with him after he had obtained the Ultimate Sword Art.

“Elder, I can return the Ultimate Sword Art to you.” Su Mo replied grimly.

“Are you sure?” The Ultimate Supreme Being’s eyes dazzled when he heard Su Mo’s response.

“Su Mo…!” Long Teng spoke up but Su Mo lifted his hand to stop Long Teng from continuing. Long Teng could not understand why Su Mo had acceded to the request.

“Yes.” Su Mo nodded.

“Haha! Su Mo, I like your alacrity! As long as you are willing to return the Ultimate Sword Art to me, I will agree to any of your conditions!” The Ultimate Supreme Being laughed heartily and he no longer looked gloomy. He was overjoyed.

“Elder, please come with me!” Su Mo stood up and headed toward the secret chamber. He needed to have a good talk with the Ultimate Supreme Being but he could not do so in front of the First Elder.

He did not trust the First Elder completely.

The Ultimate Supreme Being stood up and followed behind Su Mo.

When Long Teng saw it, he started to frown. However, he did not stop them. He believed that Su Mo must have had his reasons for doing so.

The First Elder simply watched them without saying a word.

Soon, Su Mo took the Ultimate Supreme Being to the secret chamber. He shut the door and activated the protective array.

“Su Mo, what are you doing?” The Ultimate Supreme Being asked with a frown as he looked at the empty secret chamber. However, he was not the least bit worried as Su Mo could not harm him, given his cultivation level.

“Elder, please take a seat!” Su Mo waved his hand and sat cross-legged on the floor.

“Su Mo, what are you up to?” The Ultimate Supreme Being sat down and looked coldly at Su Mo. If Su Mo was up to some trick, he would kill him immediately.

“Elder, I have two treasures here and you are free to choose one of them.” Su Mo said impassively as he looked intensely at the Ultimate Supreme Being.

“What treasures do you have for me?” The Ultimate Supreme Being asked curiously.

“The Ultimate Holy Sword or an opportunity for you to become a master,” Su Mo replied in a deep voice.

“Pardon me?” When the Ultimate Supreme Being heard what Su Mo had said, he was taken aback and he looked at Su Mo in amazement.
