Warrior's Promise Novel - Chapter 2165
Chapter 2165: I Shall Foil Your Plan
Long Xun went to the Third Mountain at lightning speed with Su Mo.
To prevent the top powers from Sky Tyrant Clan from pursuing Su Mo, Long Xun had used his vital energy to cover Su Mo. As they moved on, they left behind residual shadows in the sky.
Long Xun was not afraid that the top powers from Sky Tyrant Clan would catch up with him, given his speed.
“Su Mo, you are in great danger. It is up to your performance as to whether you are able to get the tribe to protect you!” Long Xun said grimly.
“What do you mean by that, elder?” Su Mo asked gravely.
“If you are accepted by the Holy Sage, you can then be safe. He is the only one who can protect you!” Long Xun replied with a sigh.
“I see!” Su Mo nodded. He would have to depend on himself to be accepted by the Holy Sage of Dragon Tribe.
The two of them traveled all the way and did not say another word. The men from the Sky Tyrant Clan did not pursue Su Mo.
After moving on for another hour after they reached the Second Mountain, they came to the Third Mountain.
The Third Mountain seemed desolate. When Su Mo looked down, he saw a big piece of land with few people.
“Our tribe and the Undying Tribe each take up half of the Third Mountain, and we mind our own business!” Long Xun said.
“The Undying Tribe?” Su Mo was surprised to learn that the Dragon Tribe and the Undying Tribe shared the Third Mountain.
When Su Mo thought of the Undying Tribe, he was impressed. The Undying Tribe had been keeping a low profile.
They had kept a low profile in the Infinite Region as well as God’s Path.
However, no one had ever doubted their strength.
Back then, Su Mo had intended to devour a man from the Undying Tribe as he wanted to possess the imperishable ability that they possessed.
However, the thought slipped out of his mind as he was tied up.
There were no cities in the territory controlled by the Dragon Tribe at the Third Mountain. After flying for around 1,600,000 kilometers, Su Mo still did not see any cities.
Not long after, a huge stretch of jungle appeared in front of them.
The jungle was dense and several old trees were growing in it. Some of the trees were so tall that they seemed to be reaching the sky.
There are so many dragons around!
Su Mo was surprised to see many dragons in the jungle.
There were Purple Dragons with purple lights glittering on their body, and there were Black Demon Dragons. There were the Red Divine Dragons and many other types of dragons.
The Dragon Tribe did not change their form and they lived in the jungle in their original form.
Su Mo could tell that the cultivation levels of the Divine Dragons were low and they were considered young dragons.
Su Mo and Long Xun then came to a large plain at the center of the jungle.
A towering mountain was at the center of the jungle, with a large tribe surrounding it.
Long Xun brought Su Mo to the mountain peak and entered into a huge cave.
The cave was deep in, with a winding passageway.
The passageway was not dark. There were many Crystal Stones mounted on the walls, lighting up the passageway.
After moving on for a while, a Water Screen Array appeared in front of them and blocked their way.
Long Xun formed a seal and opened up the Water Screen Array effortlessly.
The two of them went through the Array and after a while, they came to the end of the passageway.
A monolith of about 31 meters was situated at the end of the passageway and it was dark in color. There were many images of dragons engraved on the monolith.
Different types of dragon images were packed around the monolith.
The dark monolith looked old and there was a thick layer of dust on it. Apparently, it had not been activated for a long period of time.
“Long Xun would like to seek an audience with Saint Elder!”
Long Xun bowed and said softly as he stood before the monolith.
The Holy Sage of Dragon Tribe was their current Saint Elder and he was aged.
Su Mo stood beside Long Xun and when he saw Long Xun bowing, he bowed as well.
There was silence within, and Long Xun waited patiently. Saint Elder had not been out of his seclusion for 20,000 years.
The men from Dragon Tribe would not disturb Saint Elder unless it was important.
Even when Dragon Tribe had fought the Nether Tribe at the Ninth Mountain, they had not looked for Saint Elder, even though they suffered heavy casualties.
Time passed slowly. After a while, the monolith started to move.
Rumble!
There was a deep sound and the tall monolith opened slowly.
When the monolith opened, Su Mo saw the scene within. It was a simple Stone Room and an elder, who looked older than Long Xun, was sitting cross-legged within.
The elder was in a golden robe and his hair and brows were golden in color. When he sat at the center of the Stone Room with his eyes shut, he looked like a rock with no life in him.
“Five Claws Golden Dragon!” When Su Mo saw the elder, he reckoned that the elder belonged to the same species as Long Teng. Both of them were Five Claws Golden Dragons.
Long Xun signaled to Su Mo. The two of them went into the Stone Room and came before the elder.
“Xun’er, why did you bring an outsider here?”
The elder did not open his eyes or mouth but Su Mo and Long Xun could hear his voice ringing in their ears.
Apparently, the elder knew that Su Mo was not from the Dragon Tribe, thus he questioned Long Xun.
“Saint Elder, he is Su Mo and he has joined our tribe!”
Long Xun bowed at the elder and continued, saying, “Su Mo’s talent is extraordinary and rare. He has surpassed all the gifted geniuses and Great Saints. Although he is a Martial Sage, he has the ability to kill a Rank 3 Empty God!”
Long Xun lauded Su Mo’s achievements but what he had said was true.
When the elder heard what Long Xun had said, he slowly opened his eyes. Two rays of golden light then shot out from his eyes.
When the elder looked at Su Mo, his gaze seemed to pierce his body and see his intrinsic qualities.
Su Mo was shocked, and he felt naked before the elder. He felt that he could not keep any secret from the elder.
“Great Completion Realm Martial Sage. Possesses a Sage Pill that is manifolds stronger than the same rank. Has Chaotic Energy and… exuberant Blood Force. He is indeed extraordinary!” The elder said as he nodded.
Su Mo was surprised. The elder could see through him at a glance.
“Greetings, elder!” Su Mo immediately bowed at the elder.
“Hmm!”
The elder lifted up his head and looked at Long Xun and asked, “Xun’er, why did you bring him here?”
“Saint Elder, Su Mo is in a predicament. The Sorcerer Tribe and Sky Tyrant Clan are after his life and they are adamant about it. Our tribe and the Nether Tribe are at odds, but we are weak.” Long Xun said, looked grim.
When the elder heard it, he was silent. He knew that Long Xun wanted to protect Su Mo but he did not have the ability to do so. Long Xun was hoping to get his support and the support of the entire tribe.
Su Mo fixed his gaze on the elder. If the Holy Sage of Dragon Tribe was unwilling to protect him, he would go to Myriad Worlds Mountain to look for Bai Tiannan.
“Alright!”
At that moment, the elder nodded. He then turned to look at Su Mo and said, “Dragon Tribe can protect you, but you have to make contributions!”
“Definitely. Since I have joined Dragon Tribe, I will work for Dragon Tribe.” Su Mo said as he nodded.
“No. This is just an empty promise.”
The elder shook his head and said, “There is a Dawn Stone Mine at the Ninth Mountain, and it is the best Mine in God’s Path. Although the Dawn Stone Mine is not big, it is formed by the Energy from the Deity Plane and many big forces have been fighting over it.”
Su Mo was puzzled. What is the purpose of mentioning this to him?
The elder continued and said, “The Great Saints from the various forces will fight for the Exclusive Rights of the Mine. If I am right, the fight for the Rights will take place three years later. If you can represent Dragon Tribe and come out in the top position, I will protect you for life.”
“Oh? Top position?” When Su Mo heard it, a light flashed across his eyes. He did not have the ability to come out on top at that moment.
Although he had confidence in himself, he dared not look down on the Great Saints.
However, he had three years to work on advancing to the Empty God Realm.
“That’s right!”
Long Xun’s eyes lit up as he thought of it. There were Great Saints in Dragon Tribe as well but they did not even have the confidence of getting into the top three positions, let alone the top position.
If Su Mo took part in the fight, they would have a higher rate of success.
Long Xun knew that Su Mo would never be able to obtain the top position if he did not advance to the Empty God Realm.
Su Mo should be able to break through to the Empty God Realm in three years.
Long Xun knew that Su Mo’s cultivation level advanced at a tremendous speed and he had taken the entire Infinite Region by surprise.
“Alright. I will get the Exclusive Rights for Dragon Tribe. If I fail to do so, I will accept any punishment from elder!” Su Mo nodded and looked confident.
“Great!”
The elder lifted his head and looked impassive. He then waved his hand and said, “You can leave now. As for the Dawn Stone Mine, Xun’er, I shall leave it to you to make the necessary arrangements.”
“Yes. I shall take my leave then!”
“I shall make a move, elder!”
Long Xun and Su Mo bowed at the elder and left the Stone Room.
Rumble!
When the Stone Room closed up, it let out a deep sound, leaving the elder alone.
“Split-Soul. Has cultivated the Grand Chaos Five Elements Skill!”
The elder muttered to himself. A ray of light flashed across his eyes and he said with a smile, “Di Yihun, Di Yihun, I shall foil your plan!”
