Warrior’s Promise

.Chapter 2716

2716 Cosmic World Alliance

Su Mo was very worried something might have happened to the Firmament Palace.

He rushed to Guzhou Star along with Ling Chang and Elder Huo Zhong.

Time seemed to drag on. Unsure of how much time had passed, Su Mo finally arrived at Guzhou Star.

But when he saw what had become of Guzhou Star, his heart skipped a beat.

The Guzhou Star in front of him was a wreck, surrounded by endless rubble and dust.

The Firmanent Palace on Guzhou Star had been reduced to a ruin.

The bustling past and prosperous scene of millions of disciples was completely gone.

Su Mo’s face sank. He surveyed the area. Even the Chaotic Ancient Mountain of the Chaotic Tribe was gone.

At this time, there were still countless sentient beings, city clusters, and sectarian forces on Guzhou Star.

But they were much more lackluster than they had been in their prosperous past. Even the number of martial artists were two-thirds too few.

“Su Mo, don’t worry, maybe they just escaped!” Ling Chang frowned and said.

Swoosh!

Su Mo ignored her. In a flash, he flew towards a mountain on Guzhou Star.

On this mountain, there was a Sect. It was not large but it still housed tens of thousands of people. It seemed to have belonged to one of the subordinate forces of the Firmament Palace in the early days.

The Sect still remained, and it was completely untouched.

Swoosh!

Su Mo descended over the mountain. His imposing manner set off the wind and clouds, like gods coming into the world, causing a harrowing sight for the members of the Sect below.

“What a strong aura!”

“I-It’s Su Mo!”

“Oh, Su Mo’s back!”

Most of the Sect members below exclaimed in shock when they saw Su Mo.

They were all residents of Guzhou Star. Hence, they were familiar with him.

“Tell me, where are the people of the Firmament Palace?” Su Mo’s eyes burned with electricity, surveying the crowd down below, his voice thunderous and deafening.

“They’ve escaped!” an elder came out and said, bowing to Su Mo respectfully.

“Escaped?” Su Mo felt relieved when he heard that. If they had run away, that meant they were not dead.

“Who did this?” Su Mo asked again, his voice filled with strong murderous intent. The Firmament Palace was the final straw. He would kill whoever laid their hands on the place.

“Many forces teamed up. There were the Demon Tribe, the Undying Tribe, the Nether Tribe, a lot of them!” The old man shuddered. He was a Martial Sage, but the murderous intent coming from Su Mo’s person still made him shiver.

“Give me all the details!” Su Mo said, not taking no for an answer.

“Of course!” The old man nodded, and continued, “About twenty or so years ago, the strong warriors from various Tribes and forces came to Guzhou Star.It took them half a month to forcibly break through Guzhou Star’s defensive array. With the defences shattered, many areas collapsed, and those who were holding up the arrays died as a result.

But the people of the Firmament Palace were not harmed. Right after the array was brought down, the Chaotic Lord of the Chaotic Ancient Mountain escaped with everyone else from the Firmament Palace, Human Palace, and Ultimate Supreme Being Palace. No one knows where they are now.”

“I see!” Su Mo gave a long sigh. At least they are safe. The Chaotic Lord is fairly powerful. He can surely protect everyone.

“Who led the attack on Guzhou Star?” Su Mo asked coldly.

“Tuoba Qingyun. Everything was by his command!” the old man said.

The God Realm had collapsed hundreds of years ago. The old man was naturally familiar with many great figures there.

Furthermore, now the entire Cosmic World had been integrated. Tuoba Qingyun’s name was known to almost everyone.

“Haha!” Su Mo cackled when he heard that. Tuoba Qingyun?

So it’s you, Tuoba Qingyun!

With Di Yihun and I gone, you have been causing havoc in the Cosmic World! You dare revolt against me?

“Su Mo, the Cosmic World is no longer the same. The many forces have formed a Cosmic World Alliance. Tuoba Qingyun is the Alliance Leader. The Deputy Leaders are Gu Sha Demon Emperor of the Demon Tribe, the Netherworld Emperor of the Netherworld Tribe, the Immortal Emperor of the Undying Tribe, Reverend Tian Xing of the Star Tribe, Tun Xu Dragon Emperor of the Dragon Tribe, and the Sky Tyrant Emperor of the Sky Tyrant Tribe. Along with the other hundreds of Elders, they have dominated the entire Cosmic World,” said the old man.

“Oh?” Su Mo narrowed his eyes. Tuoba Qingyun was certainly a marvel if he had the exceptional means to dominate the major races like that. Was there already the invincible strength of the wasteland? Had he possessed invincible strength in all of the Cosmic World?

Even the Dragon Tribe had joined in. Tun Xu Dragon Emperor sure knew how to take advantage of the current state of affairs!

“All these years, the Cosmic World Alliance has been trying to track down the Chaotic Lord and his people. They have never stopped, they but have yet to succeed!” the old man continued.

“Where is the Cosmic World Alliance headquarters?” Su Mo asked, his eyes revealing a cold-blooded intention to kill. Many more would die this time.

“In the God Region!” said the Elder.

“Right, thanks for that!”

Su Mo nodded and, with a wave of his palm, an object flew in front of the old man, “This is for you!”

With that, Su Mo turned around and was about to leave. He was heading for the so-called Cosmic World Alliance headquarters to make them pay the price.

When the old man saw Su Mo’s gift, he was exhilarated. It was an Artifact. He had never seen one before.

“Go on!” Su Mo waited.

“Now, Tuoba Qingyun’s gang is all-powerful, y-you had better not get in their way!” the old man warned. He could not tell not how good Su Mo’s training was, but he did not think that Su Mo could contend with the Cosmic World Alliance.

“The Cosmic World Alliance will no longer exist!” That was the last thing Su Mo said before he left the place.

Ling Chang and Elder Huo Zhong, both of whom had followed him, also left with him.

“T-This…!” The old man was appalled by those words, and the other Sect members were equally so.

“Sect Leader, maybe Su Mo can do it!” a middle-aged man said to him after Su Mo had left. He had faith in Su Mo, who, after all, was an unpredictable character.

“Perhaps!” the old man sighed. It seemed another war was going to break out in the Cosmic World. Even if Su Mo was no match for the Cosmic World Alliance, he would not go down easily.

All those years ago when Su Mo’s training had not been very high, he had already been quite a nuisance to every other race or sect, let alone now.

Over three hundred years had passed, and surely Su Mo had reached the Supreme Being Realm in his training.

…

“Su Mo, are we going there directly?”

During their flight, Ling Chang asked Su Mo.

“Yes, everyone involved has to pay!” Su Mo nodded.

“If Tuoba Qingyun was able to integrate into the Cosmic World, that meant he must have broken through to the Advanced Supreme Being Realm. He could be the most skilled in the Cosmic World. You mustn’t underestimate him!” Ling Chang said.

“Maybe!” Su Mo said with an air of indifference. After he and Di Yihun had left the Cosmic World, Tuoba Qingyun no longer had enemies. Presumably, he had maintained good relations with the other races and managed to gather everyone to join forces. It was no wonder he could break through to the Advanced Supreme Being Realm.

Moreover, the Cosmic World had the Spatiotemporal City. With Tuoba Qingyun’s talent, he could have spent three hundred years building up what would have been thousands of years of training or more. Achieving a breakthrough would not have been difficult for him.

“I wonder if Di Yihun and Zi Xiao are here,” Ling Chang pondered. This was another issue she was concerned about. Elder Huo Zhong might have brought them there faster, but they might not have been the first ones to arrive at the Cosmic World.

They had been going quite slowly over the first thirty years. Their direction had slightly deviated too.

Su Mo pondered about it as well. Then, he looked over at Elder Huo Zhong, who had been silent the whole time, and said, “Elder Huo, it’s best you don’t show yourself for the time being. Hide where they can’t see you.”

“You mean, you want to lure them out?” Elder Huo Zhong asked.

“Exactly!”

Su Mo nodded and carried on, “Di Yihun and Zi Xiao might not have reached the Cosmic World yet. If you stay by our side, they might not dare to show themselves. So, hide first. Once they come back and realize it’s just me and Ling Chang, they’ll show themselves.”

“That’s a good idea!” Elder Huo Zhong nodded, and asked some more, “But, what if they’re already here?”

“Do you dare to strike them?” Su Mo asked.

“Er…!” Elder Huo Zhong hesitated. To be honest, he did not dare to. They were the headquarters’ disciples after all. Strictly speaking, they were regarded with higher importance than the branch elders.

Furthermore, Zi Xiao was Tai Ying Sovereign’s disciple. Huo Zhong would not dare to offend him!

Su Mo sighed mentally. Elder Huo Zhong could only protect Ling Chang and himself from harm. It would be unrealistic to ask the elder to confront Zi Xiao and Di Yihun.

“That’s that, then, Elder Huo. You focus on protecting Ling Chang!” Su Mo sighed and said.

“Sure!” Elder Huo Zhong nodded, then he stopped in his tracks, no longer following Su Mo and Ling Chang. In the time that followed, he kept himself hidden in the dark, ensuring the duo’s safety.
