Chapter 2472: Leaving Dragon City
The minute Long Teng left, Su Mo continued to work on his cultivation as he did not want to waste a single second.
Long Teng would need some time to gather the resources.
Su Mo waited for two days and instead of Long Teng, the Ultimate Supreme Being was there to see him.
Under the instructions of the First Elder, a young man from the Dragon Tribe brought the Ultimate Supreme Being to Firmament Archosaur Mansion to meet Su Mo.
Su Mo met the Ultimate Supreme Being at the secret chamber.
"Su Mo, Zi Xiao has gone missing!" The Ultimate Supreme Being looked at Su Mo, his face darkened. He had been looking for Zi Xiao but he was nowhere to be found.
He was worried that Su Mo would not honor his word, and thus he would soon be back to Dragon City again.
"Has he gone missing?" Su Mo frowned when he heard it. Zi Xiao seemed to have discovered his plan and he had escaped.
"That"s right! He is no longer around when I return to the Ultimate Supreme Being City. I"ve been looking for him for a few months but there is no sign of him!" The Ultimate Supreme Being said. He had spent a lot of time looking for Zi Xiao.
However, there was still no news of him. As Zi Xiao was a Middle-rank Supreme Being, they could not track him down even with the various powerful means.
This is getting tricky! Su Mo said to himself. Zi Xiao was the key person in reviving Qian Xunyue and Su Mo had to locate him.
"Su Mo, if Zi Xiao wants to hide away, we will not be able to find him within a short period of time. As for the Primordial Spirit, what do you think of it?" The Ultimate Supreme Being looked eagerly at Su Mo. Although he had failed to find Zi Xiao, he hoped to be able to get the Primordial Spirit.
When Su Mo heard what the Ultimate Supreme Being had said, he looked impa.s.sively at him and that inflicted fear on the Ultimate Supreme Being. When one had need of a favor, they would be humbled.
"I can merge it for you first." Shortly, Su Mo said with a smile.
Hoof!
The Ultimate Supreme Being heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Su Mo"s reply. If Su Mo had been unwilling to merge the Primordial Spirit for him, he would have had no qualms about attacking Su Mo.
"However, it will depend on your performance!" Su Mo said.
"What performance?" The Ultimate Supreme Being frowned upon hearing it.
"I will be away from Dragon City for about five years. I need you to protect me in secret during these five years as I will be exposed to a lot of danger." Su Mo replied.
"Protect you for five years?" The Ultimate Supreme Being was stunned when he heard what Su Mo had said and his face started to twitch.
He was an Advanced Supreme Being and one of the most powerful people in the Deity Plane. As an Overlord of a region, Su Mo had asked him to be his bodyguard!
"Are you unwilling to do so?"
Su Mo looked at the Ultimate Supreme Being"s expression and said coldly, "If you are unwilling to do so, you will never get the Primordial Spirit. You can also forget about capturing me as that will be useless. Moreover, you will not be able to leave Dragon Tribe if you have captured me."
"Do you think Dragon Tribe will set themselves against me for your sake?" The Ultimate Supreme Being squinted his eyes. His gaze was sharp and a strong stream of vital energy gushed out of his body and engulfed Su Mo in an instant.
"Ultimate Supreme Being, I suggest that you think twice before you act!"
Su Mo looked impa.s.sive and he was not the least bit afraid. If the Ultimate Supreme Being was out to capture him, he would have already done so.
"You have guts!" The Ultimate Supreme Being said sharply. He was contemplating whether or not he should capture Su Mo.
However, the moment he captured Su Mo, it would imply that he"d had set himself against the Dragon Tribe.
"Ultimate Supreme Being, unless I am willing to help you, you will never get to merge with the Primordial Spirit. Moreover, my life is bound to Long Teng"s. We live and die together. If you capture me, you will be setting yourself against the entire Dragon Tribe," Su Mo said.
"Live and die together?" The Ultimate Supreme Being was shocked when he heard it.
"That"s right. Our lives are bound together. If one dies, the other one will die as well," Su Mo said.
When the Ultimate Supreme Being heard it, he was silent and became indecisive. Soon, he withdrew the vital energy.
"Alright! I will protect you for five years!"
After pondering for a while, the Ultimate Supreme Being nodded. He did not mind becoming a bodyguard for five years for the sake of obtaining the Primordial Spirit.
As long as he could obtain the Primordial Spirit, his talent and strength would be enhanced. He would then have an opportunity to become a master. He was willing to be a bodyguard for 10,000 years, let alone five years.
"That"s great!" Su Mo smiled and secretly heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the Ultimate Supreme Being"s reply. With the Ultimate Supreme Being to protect him, he would be in a safer position.
"However, if you go back on your word, I will kill you!" The Ultimate Supreme Being said.
"Don"t worry. It will be a piece of cake for me to help someone merge with a Primordial Spirit!" Su Mo responded with a smile.
"Oh?" The Ultimate Supreme Being"s mouth twitched. Such a great opportunity that required substantial ability would be a piece of cake to Su Mo!
"Alright! You shall stay in Firmament Archosaur Mansion for the time being as I will be setting off soon!" Su Mo said. He took the Ultimate Supreme Being out of the secret chamber and prepared a room for him at the Firmament Archosaur Mansion.
After that, Su Mo continued to work on his cultivation. On the second day, Long Teng returned.
Long Teng had prepared a large number of resources for Su Mo. There were Five Elements Dawn Stones, various types of Divine Fruit and Divine Spiritual Herbs that were enough to last an ordinary Rank 4 True G.o.d for several thousands of years.
Su Mo, Long Teng, and the Ultimate Supreme Being were sitting in the hall.
"Su Mo, the First Elder will escort you out of Dragon City!" Long Teng told Su Mo. When Long Teng knew that the Ultimate Supreme Being would be protecting Su Mo, it took a load off his mind.
"The First Elder? Will that attract the attention of the people?" Su Mo asked with a grave look.
"Probably. However, there will be no hiccups if the First Elder brings you out. If we use another method or get another person to do it, I"m afraid there will be a problem!" Long Teng said. He had considered asking Su Mo to hide in the s.p.a.cial Device of the ordinary disciple, but it would put Su Mo at great risk.
Su Mo would be discovered if he had hidden in the s.p.a.cial Device. The top powers had powerful Holy Senses and they could look into the s.p.a.cial Devices of the weaker martial artists unnoticed.
However, if Su Mo had gone with the First Elder, that would not happen. Even an Advanced Supreme Being would not be able to discover him.
"Alright!" Su Mo nodded. Although the First Elder would attract the attention of the people, it would still be safer for him to take Su Mo out.
"Go! The First Elder is waiting for you at his mansion."Long Teng said.
"Alright!"
Su Mo nodded. He turned to the Ultimate Supreme Being and said, "Elder, you shall leave Dragon City first and follow behind the First Elder."
"I shall leave now!" The Ultimate Supreme Being did not say another word and left.
Su Mo went to the First Elder"s mansion alone. After exchanging a few words with the First Elder, Su Mo entered his s.p.a.cial Device at the First Elder"s instruction.
When everything was in place, the First Elder walked out of his mansion and left Dragon City to head in the direction of the Chaotic Holy Court.
