.Chapter 2726
2726 Miserable Father And Son
“Alright, we’ll go now!” Sky Tyrant Emperor, Gongsun Mu and their men nodded upon Su Mo’s approval. They left in a hurry.
For now, Tuoba Qingyun had taken away the most powerful fighters from various races such as the Ancient Demon Emperor, the Netherworld Emperor, and the Undying Emperor. The remaining strongmen had been killed by Su Mo’s people. Although all major stations had raised their large protection arrays, these major races and forces were left with little resistance.
Everyone knew that Tuoba Qingyun would no doubt be defeated.
Whoos.h.!.+
In an instant, the group of twenty or so people quickly went to summon the strongest members of their Tribes.
They dared not slack off. They only wanted to please Su Mo so that they would have the opportunity to leave the Cosmic World with him.
In the blink of an eye, they were all gone.
“Di Zang Supreme Being, tell me, where is Tuoba Qingyun?” Su Mo asked the man before him.
“Go ahead and kill me, Su Mo!” Di Zang Supreme Being had calmed down as he replied humbly. He knew that if he told him of Tuoba Qingyun’s whereabouts, the latter would surely die.
And he would not be the only one. When that happened, his father, Di Yuan Palace Lord, and all his men would die too.
So, he would rather die than tell Su Mo.
Just then, Di Zang Supreme Being was ready to commit suicide. Once he s.h.i.+fted his thoughts, his Spiritual Soul would disperse.
“I won’t kill you, but I’ll kill him!” Su Mo shook his head and, with a thought, conjured a figure next to him.
The figure seemed confused. He had not thought he would be able to come out.
“Liuming!” Di Zang Supreme Being glared when he saw the newcomer, as though he had witnessed something unbelievable.
The person who had made a sudden appearance was none other than his son, Tuoba Liuming.
He could not believe his son was still alive and had not been killed by Su Mo.
“Father!” Tuoba Liuming, trembling with excitement, shouted when he saw Di Zang Supreme Being. He had been held captive by Su Mo for so many years that he was already disheartened. He had not expected he could see his father today!
But, very quickly, he understood their current predicament, for his father had also been captured!
“Di Zang Supreme Being, tell me where Tuoba Qingyun is and I promise you I won’t kill him!” Su Mo said. He was technically not lying. He considered letting Tuoba Liuming go free, the younger man being an insignificant character.
He needed to draw information from Di Zang Supreme Being, and he needed him to say it himself.
The Art of Soul-Seeking would not work on Supreme Beings.
Unless he chose to waste time refining the man’s Spiritual Soul and exploring its millennia of memories.
But if his victim was unwilling, with just a thought the Spiritual Soul would disperse.
Di Zang Supreme Being’s face paled at that moment. He did not fear death, but he had to ensure his son’s life.
“Su Mo, don’t kill my father! Please, don’t kill my father!” Tuoba Liuming knelt on the floor with a thud in front of Su Mo.
“Alright, I promise you. Tell me Tuoba Qingyun’s whereabouts, and I won’t kill you!” Su Mo nodded.
Di Zang Supreme Being deliberated. He could not make up his mind.
“Father, tell him about Uncle. Tell him!” Tuoba Liuming turned to his father, his face awfully pale, as though in mourning. He wanted freedom. He did not want to be put under house arrest by Su Mo, and he certainly did not want to die.
Di Zang Supreme Being remained silent. He did not trust Su Mo that much, but his son’s life would only be spared if he revealed Tuoba Qingyun’s whereabouts.
“Father, Uncle’s but the Reincarnation Heavenly Sovereign’s reincarnated body. He’s still an outsider!” Tuoba Liuming shouted.
That statement was like the straw that broke the camel’s back. It enabled Di Zang Supreme Being to make a decision.
“Alright, I’ll tell you where my brother is. But can you promise to let my son go free?” Di Zang Supreme Being strongly nodded and said.
“I promise!” Su Mo said.
“Good!”
Di Zang Supreme Being lightly nodded. He did not ask Su Mo to make any strict promises because he was not qualified to negotiate the conditions.
“Answer me!” Su Mo commanded.
“In the Ancient Region, there’s a Small World near a star called Blue Spirit Star. The people of the Heavenly Palace reside there. Qingyun took his people there half a month ago,” Di Zang Supreme Being briefly informed Su Mo of the situation.
“You should know the consequences of lying to me. The entire Earth Palace will be vanquished!” Su Mo said.
“I’m not lying. It’s the truth,” Di Zang Supreme Being shook his head. He knew what would happen if he lied to Su Mo. Many would die.
“Very well, I’ll honor my promise too, but you can’t keep your training!” Su Mo said coldly. With that, he pressed his palm directly on Tuoba Liuming’s crown.
Great Power Source rushed into Tuoba Liuming’s body, destroying all his meridians and elixir fields.
Su Mo’s Devouring Primordial Spirit also rushed into Tuoba Liuming’s sea of consciousness, forcibly stripping away his Spiritual Soul and Primordial Spirit, leaving the former but devouring the latter.
While Su Mo was doing that, Elder Huo Zhong also ruthlessly made short work of Di Zang Supreme Being.
To preserve Di Zang Supreme Being’s life, he deliberately allowed Di Zang Supreme Being to keep a trace of his remnant soul.
At this point, both Di Zang Supreme Being and Tuoba Liuming were stripped of all their powers, devoid of their training and Primordial Spirits, unable to train their physical bodies anymore.
But both father and son were tough. Although as pale as paper, with blood flowing from their mouths, they did not utter a single word, though their eyes were filled with grayness.
“Live as ordinary people!” Su Mo sighed. He was kind enough to spare their lives.
Although they were left with no training, their physical strength was still many times stronger than mortals who had never practised.
Then, Su Mo turned to Elder Huo Zhong, “Elder Huo Zhong, you stay here, put this Star under lockdown, and don’t let anyone leave. Better yet, don’t let anyone give away information.”
He planned to seek out Tuoba Qingyun alone. Even if his opponent had help from the likes of Gu Sha Demon Emperor or others, they would be no match for him.
He wanted Elder Huo Zhong to stay as a backup plan against Di Yihun.
“Can you do it alone?” Elder Huo Zhong slightly frowned. He was a bit worried about if he could not follow Su Mo.
“Trust me, you don’t know what I’m really capable of!” Su Mo said solemnly, and then he rose to the sky and darted into s.p.a.ce.
What he had said was not hypocritical. If he harnessed the power of Vastness Purple Qi, he would be even stronger.
Whoos.h.!.+
Su Mo left Cosmic World Star and entered s.p.a.ce.
Just then, endless roaring sounds could be heard all over the Cosmic World Star. The forces of the Sky Tyrant Tribe, the Star Tribe and the Eternal Shrine had begun to wage war against the forces of the Demon Tribe and the Netherworld Tribe.
Su Mo ignored all that. He believed the Sky Tyrant Tribe and the others would do well, otherwise they would not have cozied up to him.
“Tuoba Qingyun, I hope you’re still here!”
Once he entered s.p.a.ce, Su Mo sped towards the Ancient Region. He hoped Tuoba Qingyun had never left the place so he could defeat the man in one fell swoop.
