2718 Suppressed!
In the city, Su Mo and Ling Chang wandered around.
Right then, Su Mo took out a Messaging Charm and attempted to transmit a message.
This was a special Messaging Charm given to him by Rende Palace Master. It had the ability to communicate over relatively long distances. He had tried to do that several times along the way to the Cosmic World Alliance, but had not received any replies.
He tried again, but still to no avail.
“Still no news?” Ling Chang asked.
“None!” Su Mo sighed, and said, “But once we destroy the Cosmic World Alliance, and word gets out, they’ll come find us, and not the other way round.”
“Right!” Ling Chang nodded. The major races and forces that made up the Cosmic World Alliance had many strong fighters. Yet, for many decades, these people had been unable to hunt down the Chaotic Lord and his people. They had kept themselves well hidden.
So, it would be equally difficult for Su Mo and her to look for the Chaotic Lord as well. It would be better for the Chaotic Lord to take the initiative.
“Those two from the Demon Tribe and the Dragon Tribe will be back. Let’s wait for them!” Su Mo whispered. Originally, he had intended to seek out more information in the city, but that was now unnecessary.
Once those two came back, he could get specific information directly from them.
And after he fully understood the situation, making sure that Tuoba Qingyun no longer posed a threat, he could move on.
He wondered if Long Teng was still with the Dragon Tribe.
Su Mo sighed mentally. He was more worried about Long Teng. If his friend was being controlled by the Dragon Tribe or Tuoba Qingyun, that would be bad.
But he had Tuoba Qingyun’s nephew, Tuoba Liuming, in his hands. He could serve as a bargaining chip.
Su Mo and Ling Chang wandered in the city. He was quite astonished by the conversations he heard. This city was actually controlled by the Great XiaSupreme Being Palace.
“Xia City!” Su Mo suddenly realized. He had not thought much of it when he entered, but it seemed this place was the Great Xia Supreme Being Palace’s domain.
That thought reminded him of its Side Hall, the Great Gulf Palace. At the time when he had risen to the Diety Plane, the Great Gulf Palace Master, Xia Qianyuan, had helped him out a lot.
Su Mo did not go looking for Xia Qianyuan, so as not to get the Palace Master involved.
He and Ling Chang came to a vast square the centre of the city cluster. There, they sat cross-legged, shut their eyes, and meditated, awaiting their prey.
They did not have to wait long. Pretty soon, the Dragon Tribe member, Long Huan, descended on the square like lightning. He had brought along another youth with an extraordinary temperament.
“Brother Long Cheng, it’s them!” Long Huan pointed at Su Mo and Ling Chang just ahead of them.
Long Cheng nodded and, taking big strides, approached the two.
“You two, tell me where that Dawn Stone came from, and I’ll allow you to leave peacefully!” Long Cheng looked condescendingly at them with an air of unquestionable authority.
His brows furrowed, for he could not tell how high their training levels were. Otherwise, he would capture them first and ask questions later.
“Long Cheng, it’s been a while!” Su Mo opened his eyes and peered at him with a gentle smile. He was very familiar with Long Cheng of the Dragon Tribe.
Long Cheng was one of the geniuses in the Dragon Tribe. All those years ago, Su Mo and Si Kongyan had stayed in the Dragon Tribe as Long Teng’s servants. They had also participated in the labyrinth contention and had a few verbal disagreements with Long Cheng.
“You’re…?” Long Cheng was taken aback by Su Mo’s greeting. Who was this man in front of him? How did he know who he was?
Unable to help himself, Long Cheng carefully examined Su Mo, but he could not detect even the slightest of Su Mo’s aura, nor could he perceive Su Mo’s training level.
Long Huan was also surprised that this man recognized Long Cheng.
“It’s been several hundred years. I can see that you have reached Seventh Grade. Good job!” Su Mo grinned. He had changed his appearance as well as his voice, so it was difficult for Long Cheng to identify him.
“Who are you, really?” Long Cheng furrowed his brows and said coldly, “Since you know me, then you should must the power of the Dragon Tribe. Don’t cause trouble.”
“I have two questions for you. Answer me, and I can spare you!” Su Mo cooled down.
“Eh?” Long Cheng furrowed his brows again. This young man in front of him knew his identity, yet he had the gall to speak to him like that?
Whoosh!
His legs shifted underneath him, and he retreated greatly. He could not tell how strong Su Mo was, and overwhelming the stranger by force was not working, so for safety’s sake he backed away first.
But it would not be that easy to back out.
Su Mo did not even lift a finger. With a shift in thought, a formless power of the Fire Rule immediately acted on Long Cheng.
Ah!
Suddenly, terrifying screams filled the air. The formless power of the Fire Rule encompassed Long Cheng and almost instantly reduced him to ashes.
At Seventh Grade, Long Cheng was similar to a three-year-old kid in front of Su Mo, offering next to no resistance.
“What?” Long Huan paled greatly at the sight. Without hesitation, he turned to flee.
Su Mo ignored Long Huan. He grabbed at the void and captured Long Cheng, who had been burnt to a crisp, and tossed him into the spatial device, surprising Fu Qian with the new arrival.
“Tell me, did the Cosmic World Alliance capture my people? Where is Long Teng now?” Su Mo’s thoughts echoed in the container.
“You’re Su Mo… You’re Su Mo!” Long Teng, who looked tragic, exclaimed, like he had just discovered a terrifying fact.
“Talk, or you’ll die a more painful death!” Su Mo shouted again.
“Haha, Su Mo, since you’re back, then don’t even think about leaving this place alive!” Long Cheng laughed out loud. He knew he probably would not live through this, for Su Mo would surely not spare him, so he threw all caution to the wind.
“Then you can die!” Su Mo said. Instantly, Long Cheng was reduced to ashes.
Su Mo did not bother asking how many more would come later.
Su Mo had no fear. In truth, he really wanted to march straight towards the Cosmic World Alliance headquarters, and kill off Tuoba Qingyun, Gu Sha Demon Emperor, Netherworld Emperor, and the whole bunch in one go.
But he resisted.
If he did that, he could not compete against them. He might need Elder Huo’s help.
By then, everyone would know he had an invincible companion with him. When Di Yihun arrived, knowing how cautious he was, he surely would not show up. Perhaps he would return to the Cloud Ridge World directly.
Su Mo returned to the Cosmic World this time not only to fight Tuoba Qingyun, but to deal with Di Yihun as well.
Phew!
Su Mo sighed lightly as he pondered.
Ling Chang peered at him once, then closed her eyes again, no questions asked.
Many people near the square witnessed Su Mo capture a member of the Dragon Tribe. They watched from afar.
A few moments later, more people came. A young member of the Demon Tribe, Mo Yu, brought a middle-aged tribesman with him.
“Elder, it’s those two!”
Mo Yu caught sight of Su Mo and Ling Chang in the square and said to the man beside him.
“This aura…!” The middle-aged demon observed Su Mo doubtfully. He could feel a familiar aura coming from him.
“Come here!” Su Mo peered at the demon, stretched out his arm and making to grab him. The demon was a Low-rank Supreme Being with a high enough status. He surely knew everything.
Su Mo spared no mercy. As quick as lightning, his Chaotic Arms, which were the size of a grinding disc, sped forward and caught him.
“What?” The middle-aged demon exclaimed in shock. The attack was too quick and too strong. The powerful momentum had solidified the demon blood in his body. He could not react in time.
He was shocked not because the attack was powerful, but because the Chaotic Power Source made it clear that this was Su Mo.
It all happened in a flash. The middle-aged demon had been captured by Su Mo before he could even react.
At the next moment, horrible screams alarmed the entire Xia City.
Ah!
The shrill cry spread in all directions. The demonic body of the middle-aged demon was squeezed so hard that its Demonic Soul was destroyed in an instant.
Su Mo’s abilities were stronger than numerous Advanced Supreme Beings. It was not something a Low-rank Supreme Being of the Demon Tribe could compare with.
“How’s this possible?”
Mo Yu was spooked. Even the elders of other races could not stand a chance. Just who was this mysterious person?
Without hesitation, Mo Yu turned and ran away faster than Long Huan previously had.
The passers-by and many strong fighters of the Xia City had been there to witness Su Mo hit hard and captured the elder of the Demon Tribe with one move.
Who was this young man who dared to do that on the Cosmic World Star? Had he gone mad?
No one intervened. The stronger ones of the Great Xia Supreme Being Palace chose to observe him in secret.
They had joined the Cosmic World Alliance as well, but the enemy of the Demon Tribe was not theirs to challenge.
Swoosh!
After Su Mo captured the Demon Tribe elder, he tossed him into the spatial device too.
“Another one?” Fu Qian, who was healing his wounds, was rendered speechless. Why did Su Mo keep hoarding trash? Couldn’t he get a strong contender for him to fight with?
“Tell me, did the Cosmic World Alliance capture my people? Where is Long Teng now?” Su Mo’s thoughts echoed in the container again.
“Su Mo, you’re back!”
The middle-aged demon’s Soul had turned dark. After sustaining severe injuries, he shouted in horror.
“Tell me!” Su Mo repeated, his voice containing a strong murderous desire.
The Cosmic World Alliance has captured loads of your people. As for Long Teng, he has been long suppressed by Tun Xu Dragon Emperor!” The Demon Soul said, frightened. He did not conceal the truth, because this piece of information could be found anywhere.
“Suppressed?” Su Mo said, his desire to kill growing stronger. He asked again, “Who’s captured?”
According to what heard before, the members of the Firmament Palace had been led away by the Chaotic Lord, so Su Mo was not too worried about his family.
