Chapter 2456: Live And Die Together
Su Mo"s ident.i.ty as a reincarnated body had shocked everyone in the Deity Plane.
However, Earth Palace was uncertain whether he was a reincarnated body and if he was related to Human Palace.
That was no longer important. They had to locate Su Mo.
When the news was released, many forces started to take action. The Ultimate Supreme Being Palace put in more effort to locate Su Mo.
They might not be able to take back the Ultimate Holy Sword and the secret of the Ultimate Sword Art if they did not act quickly.
Lightning Flame Supreme Being Palace, the Great Rotating Divine Hall, and Paramount Holy Place where Qianhuan Demon Lord came from had taken action secretly. They had sent out many people to search for Su Mo.
The other five palaces in Reincarnation Holy Court had taken action as well. Heavenly Palace was unable to react quickly to Earth Palace"s approach, but they could not change anything since the news was out.
The upper echelons from the four palaces, namely Beast Palace, Demon Palace, Ghost Palace, and Human Palace, had contacted one another in secret to discuss the situation.
Apparently, the three palaces were not aware that Su Mo was related to Human Palace.
After the four palaces had come together, they decided to wait and watch. They did not want to get involved in the fight among the three reincarnated bodies.
…
At a secret chamber in Firmament Archosaur Mansion.
Su Mo put away the Messaging Charm into the Devouring Primordial Spirit. Earlier on, the Messaging Charm had vibrated as Ren De Palace Master had messaged him.
"Has my ident.i.ty been made known?" Su Mo muttered to himself. Ren De Palace Master had informed him that his ident.i.ty as a reincarnated body was known to all.
The message mentioned that Qin Yun was a reincarnated body. However, there was no difference between Su Mo or Qin Yun being mentioned.
Most importantly, everyone knew that there was a third reincarnated body.
"Forget it! It"s safer for me to stay in the Dragon Tribe!" Su Mo sighed. All the more, he had to stay in the Dragon Tribe.
Shortly, Su Mo shut his eyes and continued to cultivate. Two hours later, someone knocked on the door of the secret chamber.
Dong! Dong! Dong!
When Su Mo heard the knocking sounds, he stopped his cultivation and opened the stone door.
Long Teng was standing at the stone door in a yellow robe, looking grim.
"Is it because of my ident.i.ty?" Su Mo asked when he saw Long Teng"s expression. The Dragon Tribe seemed to have received the news.
"Ident.i.ty?"
Long Teng was shocked and he immediately shook his head and said, "Su Mo, Ling Chang is in Cloud Dragon City!"
"Ling Chang?"
Su Mo"s gaze froze and he immediately asked, "Where is she?"
"She is at the mansion in Cloud Dragon City where we usually gather. Elder Long Au is in charge of it," Long Teng replied.
"Come, let"s go and meet her!" Su Mo walked out of the secret chamber as he wanted to go and meet Ling Chang.
"No!"
Long Teng stopped Su Mo hastily and said, "It is not convenient for you to meet Ling Chang. You will attract the attention of the people wherever you go."
Having said that, Long Teng took out a Messaging Charm and said, "You shall use this to communicate with her!"
Su Mo frowned when he heard what Long Teng had said. However, he knew that Long Teng was right. He took the Messaging Charm and started to communicate with Ling Chang.
"Su Mo, I need to talk to you about a matter!" The Messaging Charm vibrated and Su Mo heard Ling Chang"s sweet voice.
"What is it?" Su Mo replied.
"I used to have a benefactor from a small force in the Spatiotemporal Region whose name was Yu Xuzi. He is the sect leader of Empty Jade Sect. Recently, I heard that he will be pa.s.sing on soon and rightfully, I should visit him. However, I"m afraid that this is a trap." Ling Chang"s voice was heard from the Messaging Charm.
Ling Chang was cautious. She found it strange that Yu Xuzi was in a critical condition and that he would be pa.s.sing on soon.
"Are you worried that someone is trying to lure you out?" Su Mo asked with a frown.
"That"s right. Everyone knows about my relations.h.i.+p with Elder Yu Xuzi. I"m worried that the Ultimate Supreme Being Palace is trying to use this to lure me out and use me as bait to get you!" Ling Chang"s voice resounded from the Messaging Charm again.
"Have you verified it?" Su Mo asked.
"I haven"t as I can"t go to Sky Pool Court!" Ling Chang replied.
Su Mo was silent when he heard what Ling Chang had said. Although Ling Chang was worried that it was a scheme, she still had a desire to visit Yu Xuzi. She had to be close to him, and it was not merely a matter of gratification.
"It is not convenient for you to go. Let me handle it. I will get Human Palace to send someone to visit Empty Jade Sect." Su Mo said in his message.
"Alright! I shall wait here for your news!" Ling Chang replied. After a while, she messaged again. "You must do it soon. If this piece of news is true, I will have to go and meet him soon!"
"Don"t worry!" Su Mo a.s.sured Ling Chang. He put away the Messaging Charm and took out the Messaging Charm from Ren De Palace Master and told Ren De Palace Master about it.
Although Su Mo did not trust Ren De Palace Master completely, he still had some faith in him.
Soon, Su Mo received a reply from Ren De Palace Master that he would send someone to Empty Jade Sect immediately.
"Su Mo, what about the ident.i.ty that you were talking about earlier?"
When Long Teng saw that Su Mo had settled the matter, he asked him curiously. He had not heard anything about Su Mo.
"The people know that I am a reincarnated body and Dragon City will soon get to know about it!" Su Mo said grimly.
"This… what shall we do?" Long Teng was shocked when he heard it and he became grave.
"It"s alright. I still have you to back me up!" Su Mo replied with a smile and he was not fl.u.s.tered.
"Will the Dragon Emperor know about your ident.i.ty?" Long Teng asked.
"Probably. There"s no way to hide it from him!" Su Mo sighed. The people knew about his unique traits and they would have guessed his ident.i.ty based on the Great Rotating Sacred Sword Primordial Spirit, the Chaotic Power Source, and his great talent.
"What shall we do? Shall I arrange for you to leave Dragon City?" Long Teng asked. It was a serious matter and Su Mo might get himself killed.
"It"s not necessary!"
Su Mo shook his head and replied thoughtfully, "I can"t hide forever. Soon, there"ll be no place for me to go and I will end up losing my life."
Su Mo sighed. His strength was way below that of Di Yihun and Tuoba Qingyun. If he were to depend on his strength alone, he would definitely be killed.
Given his situation, no one was willing to extend a helping hand to him except Human Palace.
However, he could not depend on Human Palace alone. Once Di Yihun had a breakthrough, Su Mo would be doomed.
"What"s your plan?" Long Teng asked.
"I"ll have to depend on you." Su Mo said as he looked at Long Teng intensely.
"Depend on me?" Long Teng frowned when he heard what Su Mo had said. Although he enjoyed a high status in the Dragon Tribe, he did not have much power to mobilize the people.
"That"s right. Only you can ensure my safety." Su Mo nodded.
Long Teng took a deep breath and he went silent. All of a sudden, he felt the burden on his shoulders.
He would definitely do his best to protect Su Mo, but he had to have the ability to do so. If the Dragon Emperor were to find out about Su Mo"s ident.i.ty, he might capture Su Mo straight away. Long Teng would not be able to stop the Dragon Emperor from doing so.
"Su Mo, I know of a way to get Dragon Tribe to protect you!" After some time, Long Teng said, his eyes glittering.
"What is it?" Su Mo asked.
"I know of a secret art that is known as "Live and Die Together". If one party lives, the other party lives. If one party dies, the other party dies as well. This art is used by some of the partners in the Demon Tribe!" Long Teng explained.
"This…!" Su Mo was stunned when he heard what Long Teng had said. Long Teng"s intention was to bind their lives together.
If they were to do that, no one would kill Su Mo. The people from the Dragon Tribe would do their best to protect him as Long Teng would die if Su Mo were to be killed.
The Dragon Tribe would want Long Teng to live.
In that case, Su Mo would have no worries. He could even use the Dragon Tribe"s power to contend with Di Yihun and Tuoba Qingyun.
