Chapter 2466: The Three Palace Masters
Su Mo sat cross-legged in the secret chamber, looking calm.
His ident.i.ty and whereabouts were no longer a secret and he would have to be more careful in the future.
Fortunately, he had Long Teng to protect him and he would be safe in the Dragon Tribe.
That said, the Dragon Emperor was not a good person and he would not help him. The power that Su Mo possessed or, to be exact, the power that Long Teng possessed, was limited.
After some time, Su Mo sighed. He could only stay in the Dragon Tribe for the time being and ask Long Teng to get more elders to support him.
Buzz! Buzz!
At that instant, the Messaging Charm in Su Mo"s storage device vibrated. Ling Chang had sent him a message.
Su Mo took out the Messaging Charm and triggered his thoughts to check the message that Ling Chang had sent to him.
Ling Chang had killed the disciple that Heavenly Palace had sent back and she had returned to Cloud Dragon City. At the same time, she asked about Yu Xuzi.
Su Mo immediately messaged Ren De Palace Master to ask him about Yu Xuzi.
"Su Mo, I didn"t go to Empty Jade Sect. However, after checking around, I"ve found out that Yu Xuzi did not get into any fight and he has never left Empty Jade Sect!" Ren De Palace Master replied Su Mo instantly.
Indeed, this is a trap! When Su Mo heard what Ren De Palace Master had said, his face darkened. It had to be a trap that has been set up by the Ultimate Supreme Being Palace, Heavenly Palace, or Earth Palace to lure Ling Chang out.
However, Su Mo had no idea which of them was the mastermind.
"Elder Ren De, sorry to have troubled you. You can stop checking on this!" Su Mo sent a message to Ren De Palace Master. Since his ident.i.ty and whereabouts had been exposed, the person who had set the trap would have called it off. Ling Chang merely had to avoid going to Empty Jade Sect.
After that, Su Mo told Ling Chang about the situation and asked her to stay in Cloud Dragon City and not go to Empty Jade Sect.
After Su Mo had settled the matter, he started to work on his cultivation as he wanted to reach Rank 4 True G.o.d Realm soon. He was not far from it.
…
The feasts in the Dragon Tribe went on for three full days. Three days later, the top powers from the various tribes and forces left Dragon City.
As the various forces started to leave Dragon City, news about Su Mo started to spread to the entire Deity Plane.
The third reincarnated body was known as Su Mo. He was also known as Qin Yun and Tu Xiao. He had joined Dragon Tribe and was a good friend of Long Teng, the Firmament Archosaur of the Dragon Tribe.
Su Mo had great talent and he was not inferior to Di Yihun or Tuoba Qingyun. His cultivation level was only at Rank 3 True G.o.d Realm but his combat strength was enough to suppress any Favored Ones who were at Rank 4 Advanced True G.o.d Realm.
When the news spread, it shook the entire Deity Plane and took the various forces by surprise.
After that, news about the deep relations.h.i.+p that Su Mo shared with Human Palace became a hot topic in the Deity Plane.
At Demon City in Reincarnation Holy Court.
Demon City was located in the western region of the Reincarnation Holy Court. It was near the border of Ancient Demon State and it ruled over a large area in the Reincarnation Holy Court.
The Demon City was built on a mountain range with several buildings joined together, and the City took up a large area.
Three elderly people were sitting in the Demon Hall.
The elder taking the main seat was in a black robe. He had a big build and dark complexion. His face was broad and his eyebrows were thick like sharp swords. He had an ominous aura.
He was none other than the Palace Master of the Demon Palace, Asura Supreme Being.
Two elders were sitting on the seats on each side of him, and the elder on his left was in an old gray robe. He had a long face, and his skin color was bluish-purple, making him look eerie. The elder on his right was burly and rough, and he had white whiskers on his face. He looked tyrannical.
The elder in the gray robe was Devil Lord Ah Bi, the Palace Master of Ghost Palace, and the other elder was the Palace Master of the Beast Palace, Snow Lion Lord.
"Gentlemen, I believe you already know why I have invited you over," Asura Supreme Being said as he looked at Devil Lord Ah Bi and Snow Lion Lord.
"Since we know Su Mo"s ident.i.ty, what do the two of you think about it?" Asura Supreme Being asked when he saw that the two elders were silent.
After a while, Devil Lord Ah Bi said, "At the moment, Di Yihun has the support of Heavenly Palace, and Tuoba Qingyun has the support of Earth Palace. Apparently, Human Palace is supporting Su Mo!"
"I wonder why Ren De is helping Su Mo!" Snow Lion Lord commented with a baffled look. Although Su Mo possessed great talent, Snow Lion Lord did not see any hope of him beating the other two reincarnated bodies.
"No doubt Su Mo is talented, but there is no way for him to turn the tables unless the Dragon Tribe gives him their full support!" Asura Supreme Being said. That was the only way for Su Mo to win the fight, but still, it was not absolute.
Both Di Yihun and Tuoba Qingyun had the capability of an Advanced Supreme Being and it was impossible to capture or kill them.
In other words, even if Tun Xu Dragon Emperor were to try to kill Di Yihun or Tuoba Qingyun, he would not be able to do so. Although they were not as powerful as Tun Xu Dragon Emperor, as he was an Advanced Supreme Being, they still had the ability to escape from him and survive.
Moreover, Di Yihun and Tuoba Qingyun had Tian Junhe and Di Yuan Supreme Being to help them.
"Judging from the situation at the Archosaur Ceremony, Tun Xu Dragon Emperor is unlikely to help Su Mo," Devil Lord Ah Bi said. They were aware of the situation that had taken place at the Archosaur Ceremony.
The Dragon Emperor was unlikely to help Su Mo and it would be impossible for Su Mo to tap into the Dragon Tribe"s power to help him turn the tables.
"Gentlemen, I wonder if we should continue to watch and wait." Asura Supreme Being said as a light flashed across his eyes.
All these years, Heavenly Palace and Earth Palace had been trying to get their support but they had remained neutral.
"Do you mean it"s time for us to take action?" Snow Lion Lord asked as he fixed his gaze on Asura Supreme Being.
"That"s right! Previously, when Di Yihun and Tuoba Qingyun exchanged blows, Di Yihun proved himself to be more powerful. Apparently, he has greater potential than Tuoba Qingyun!" Asura Supreme Being replied.
"Are you thinking of helping Di Yihun?" Devil Lord Ah Bi asked with a grave look.
"That doesn"t mean anything. Are you sure Tuoba Qingyun will not reach the Advanced Supreme Being Realm before Di Yihun?" Snow Lion Lord asked.
Asura Supreme Being was silent when the question was posed to him. He had the intention of helping Di Yihun, but he was not certain if Tuoba Qingyun would reach the Advanced Supreme Being Realm before Di Yihun.
"If the three of us help Di Yihun, we will be able to kill Tuoba Qingyun in no time. When Di Yihun merges with Tuoba Qingyun, everything will be in place." Asura Supreme Being said, and his eyes were bright as lightning when he looked at Devil Lord Ah Bi and Snow Lion Lord.
If the two elders were to agree with him, everything would come to an end. Even if Di Yihun was unable to become an Advanced Supreme Being after he had merged with Tuoba Qingyun, he would not be far from it.
Most importantly, Di Yihun would gain popularity the minute Tuoba died. Su Mo would not have the ability to contend with him.
"I am close to Di Yuan. If I kill his son, this will be…!" Snow Lion Lord was indecisive although he knew that what Asura Supreme Being had said made sense.
Once Di Yihun merged with Tuoba Qingyun, it would pose no problem for him to merge with Su Mo. Everything would then fall into place.
"Indeed!" Devil Lord Ah Bi said with a sigh. The Six Great Palaces had been around ever since the Reincarnation Holy Court came into existence.
The Palace Masters of the Six Great Palaces had been with the Heavenly Sovereign and the six of them had been working together for ages.
It was a difficult decision to make if they were to kill Di Yuan Supreme Being"s son, Tuoba Qingyun.
In fact, all along, they felt that Di Yihun was better than Tuoba Qingyun in various aspects. They had remained neutral as Tuoba Qingyun was Di Yuan"s son.
"At this stage, are you still considering your personal relations.h.i.+p with Di Yuan?"
Asura Supreme Being looked indifferent. He said in his deep voice, "As long as Di Yihun merges with Tuoba Qingyun and Su Mo, the Heavenly Sovereign will be able to resurrect. He may bring us along with him to cross the Spatial Tunnel that is built by Eternal Divine Sovereign and leave this Cosmic World. We will then be able to live beyond the era and become immortal."
After Devil Lord Ah Bi and Snow Lion Lord heard what Asura Supreme Being had said, they were deep in thought. The had to consider the weight of the matter.
