Warrior’s Promise

.Chapter 2724

2724 The Siege Began

Their expressions changed when they heard that. They did not like it. They simply could not stand Su Mo’s strength.

Although, individually, their strength could not compare to Tun Xu Dragon Emperor’s, if all twenty of them joined forces, they could be several times stronger than the Dragon Emperor himself.

They exchanged glances. Among them, the strongest would be the Sky Tyrant Emperor of the Sky Tyrant Tribe and Reverend Tian Xing of the Star Tribe.

The two looked calm and did not speak. They and Su Mo never interfered with each other’s affairs, nor had they participated in the siege of Guzhou Star last time.

A while later, an elder in yellow spoke, “Su Mo, I’m Gongsun Mu, Palace Master of the Eternal Shrine. We did not participate in the siege of Guzhou Star. The various forces who did were the Demon Tribe, the Undying Tribe, the Netherworld Tribe, the Earth Palace, the Ghost Palace, the Demon Palace, the Beast Palace, the Lightning Flame Supreme Being Palace, and the Great Rotating Divine Hall.”

“That’s right. We joined only after the Cosmic World Alliance was founded.

We joined the alliance only to settle in Cosmic World Star. It’s much more suitable for long-term development.”

Another two spoke up. They neither fought Su Mo nor chose to be subservient. They merely spoke the truth.

They did not want to side with Su Mo, Tuoba Qingyun, or even Di Yihun.

“Alright, tell me, where’s Tuoba Qingyun?” Su Mo nodded. He did not intend to interrogate. The siege of Guzhou Star was no secret. He could always seek the truth in future investigations. By then, no one could escape.

“Tuoba Qingyun’s men discovered the Heavenly Palace’s hiding place. He’s going after them with Gu Sha Demon Emperor and the others!” Gongsun Mu replied.

“Oh?” A glimmer flashed in Su Mo’s eyes. The Heavenly Palace?

It seemed that Tuoba Qingyun was unable to capture the people of the Firmament Palace as well the those of the Heavenly Palace. This was certainly a failure on his part.

“All these years, Tuoba Qingyun didn’t manage to find anyone from my Firmament Palace and the Heavenly Palace?” Su Mo asked again.

Gongsun Mu replied with a wry smile, “The Chaotic Lord has taken the Firmament Palace with him. His powers are great, not weaker than Tuoba Qingyun’s, and he possesses many means. It’s difficult to find him. The Heavenly Palace, on the other hand, has been hiding here and there. Some of its people were caught by Tuoba Qingyun, but the key figures such as Tian Junhe Palace Master, Grand Elder Tian Ganglei, and Tian Chenyu are still on the run.”

“Understood!” Su Mo nodded with a glint in his eyes. If he managed to capture the Heavenly Palace, they might serve as a bargaining chip against Di Yihun.

However, it was hard to determine the depth of the relationship between Di Yihun and the Heavenly Palace. He wondered if Di Yihun would be just like Tun Xu Dragon Emperor and leave the people of the Heavenly Palace for dead.

“Where are the people of the Heavenly Palace?” Su Mo asked again.

“I hear they’re in the Dark Region, in one of the hidden Small Worlds. But I’m not sure exactly where!” Gongsun Mu said. They were not one with Tuoba Qingyun, after all. Tuoba Qingyun would not have told them.

Only those such as Gu Sha Demon Emperor and the Netherworld Emperor were Tuoba Qingyun’s loyal supporters.

But they switch loyalties pretty fast too. They had used to support Di Yihun all the way, but once Di Yihun left, they had turned in favor of Tuoba Qingyun.

“Does anyone else know?” Su Mo surveyed the crowd and asked.

They stayed silent, for they knew nothing. Even if they did, they would not have revealed it actively, for that would offend Tuoba Qingyun.

Su Mo squinted as he looked at the people around him. He was thinking about the fact that Tuoba Qingyun had left to hunt down the Heavenly Palace, yet he had not appointed a confidant on the Cosmic World Mountain, not even someone he trusted?

This seemed quite abnormal. Wouldn’t Tuoba Qingyun worry about the Chaotic Lord pulling the plug on him while he was out searching for the members of the Heavenly Palace?

Su Mo’s Holy Senses searched through the entire Cosmic World Mountain. There were several places on the mountain that could not be detected by it.

“Make way!” Su Mo exclaimed.

Everyone looked around when they heard that. Then, they took flight to the sky above.

Boom!

Just then, Su Mo suddenly made a move. With one fist, he took a shot at the Cosmic World Mountain.

The huge Chaotic Power Source palm print struck the Cosmic World Mountain with a thud, as though the Sky Curtains had fallen on it.

Rumble!

There was a massive explosion as the blow caused the gigantic Cosmic World Mountain to crumble and fall.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Su Mo smirked when he saw that. He recognized a few of them.

Among them were two members of the Demon Tribe. One of them was Grandmaster Mo Changfeng of the Ancient Demon State, the other was Prince Gu Mo. He also spotted Di Yuan Palace Lord’s son, who was Tuoba Qingyun’s elder brother, Di Zang Supreme Being.

The others were from the Netherworld Tribe and the Undying Tribe, to name a few. Su Mo was not sure who they really were.

But he could confirm that these people were Tuoba Qingyun’s loyal supporters, for they had not dared to show themselves.

“Hehe, since you are here, don’t run away!” Su Mo laughed, unleashing his Devouring Power and waving the ‘Su Sword’ in his hand.

Swoosh~~~

At that instant, wisps of sword Qi swept through the air, sweeping in all directions.

Su Mo showered them no mercy. All he had was the infinite desire to kill.

Mo Changfeng and his people were affected by the Devouring Power, their speed suddenly reduced. They knew they could not escape when they saw Su Mo’s Sword Qi approaching them.

Since they could not escape, they might as well fight!

“Destroy him together!” Mo Changfeng turned around and snarled. As an Advanced Supreme Being, he had little to fear.

After all, five out of the lot of them were Advanced Supreme Beings. The rest were also from the Supreme Being Realm.

Initially, when Su Mo had gotten ready to fight Tun Xu Dragon Emperor, they had been about to take the opportunity to attack him alongside the Dragon Emperor.

But they had never expected Tun Xu Dragon Emperor would lose to Su Mo and be defeated almost instantly.

So, they had remained where they were, hidden in the Cosmic World Mountain. They planned to summon more people to kill Su Mo after he left.

But, again, they had never expected Su Mo to find them first.

“Kill!”

They knew they could not get away, so they turned back and flung various attacks towards Su Mo’s Sword Qi.

Rumble!

Explosions ensued. All attacks clashed with Su Mo’s Sword Qi, bursting continuously.

Ahhh!

In an instant, several screams sounded as several people were killed on the spot.

They were the weaker ones, who were like three-year-olds compared to Su Mo. They were simply helpless.

Even Mo Changfeng and Di Zang Supreme Being fell back. Due to different strength levels, some of them were pushed back a hundred feet, while the others were blasted several miles away.

They were large in number but had scattered everywhere. They could not combine their combat power so it was impossible to block Su Mo’s attack.

Hum~

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Just then, something else happened. Powerful arrays rose up all over the Cosmic World Star.

Moreover, many strong fighters were seen flying towards the Cosmic World Mountain from various directions.

There were more than a dozen of them, all of them Advanced Supreme Beings and equally powerful.

“Eh?” Su Mo’s brows rose. His Holy Senses scanned about and quickly understood the situation.

The people speeding towards him were all the top powers from the Demon Tribe, the Undying Tribe, the Netherworld Tribe, the Earth Palace, and so on.

It seemed that these were the ones Tuoba Qingyun had appointed to stay behind on Cosmic World Star. They had been scattered across various stations and only came to the rescue when it became evident that Mo Changfeng and his men could not escape.

Just as they arrived, the Demon Clan and the Netherworld Tribe began to raise strong protection arrays.

Su Mo was a little surprised. There were quite a lot of Advanced Supreme Beings from these major races and forces.

In the distance, Gongsun Mu, the Sky Tyrant Emperor, and a few others slowly backed away. Next, Tuoba Qingyun’s forces and Su Mo would fight to the end. Naturally, they had to stay away.

In the beginning, they had thought about joining forces with Tuoba Qingyun and waging havoc on Guzhou Star, but the thought that Su Mo the invincible might return one day had made them decide otherwise, and therefore they stayed out of it. In hindsight, that was a wise move.

“Hahaha!” Mo Changfeng laughed. He glanced at the powerful backup coming their way and shouted at Su Mo: “Su Mo, do you really think you are invincible in the Cosmic World? You’ll meet your doom today!”
