This elder wore a large grey long-robe with sacred dragons embroidered carefully all over it.
With a large, broad and stern face, the elder did not show any emotion. Most noticeably, he had a long grey beard.
“Greetings to Dragon Emperor!” Long Teng strode into the hall and bowed towards the elder on the main seat.
“Greetings to Dragon Emperor!”
“Greetings to Dragon Emperor!”
Su Mo and Si Kongyan did not delay either as they hurriedly bowed to the elder. This was Tun Xu Dragon Emperor, the leader of the dragon tribe. Regardless of status or power, he wasn’t anything Ren De Supreme Being could compare to.
Granted, although he was a Dragon Emperor, Tun Xu Dragon Emperor was an Advanced Supreme Being and he had not reached the point of being a Master.
“At ease!” Tun Xu Dragon Emperor nodded his head in silence as he stared at Su Mo and Long Teng.
He could tell that Su Mo and Si Kongyan were extraordinary. Su Mo practiced the five elements while Si Kongyan had mastered fire-based skills.
“Yan Kong, Tu Xiao, I understand both your talent. I am a person who hugely emphasizes talent. As long as you two are willing to be loyal to the Dragon Tribe, you can escape the status of being slaves and become External Dragon Tribe members!” Tun Xu Dragon Emperor went directly to the point.
“May I ask how we may pledge our loyalty?” Su Mo continued to cup his fists to the Dragon Emperor and asked in a deep voice. If he had to pledge loyalty to the Dragon Tribe, and give his entire life and destiny to them, he would not agree to it.
However, if loyalty was granted via another matter, he would happily become an External Dragon Tribe member.
“Loyalty to the Dragon Tribe means obeying whatever the tribe says. If you betray us, you will be killed!” Tun Xu Dragon Emperor explained. However, a gush of cold air rushed through the hall as he said this.
Si Kongyan and Su Mo exchanged looks before they both bowed to the Dragon Emperor.
“We agree!” Su Mo and Si Kongyan said in unison. Although these were their words, pledging their loyalty to the Dragon Tribe did not affect them much.
An External Dragon Tribe member was the lowest rank in the Dragon Tribe and they would not be looked highly upon by higher-ups in the Dragon Tribe.
“Very good!” The Dragon Emperor nodded his head before he looked at Long Teng and instructed, “Long Teng, bring them to the Slave Manor and change their slave statuses. From today, they are External Dragon Tribe members and are considered Dragon Tribe members!’
“Yes, I will do that as soon as I get back!” Long Teng respectfully answered.
“Mm! Go ahead!” The Dragon Emperor waved his hand dismissively, showing no desire to talk further. Although Su Mo and Si Kongyan were considered top talents who were even better than an average Favored One, he would not be careless.
After all, there were quite a number of Favored Ones in Dragon Tribe and Su Mo and Si Kongyan had low cultivation ranks that dismissed them as being important people.
Meeting Su Mo and Si Kongyan was the greatest he could offer them with their status then.
“Understood!” The three bowed and left the hall subsequently.
Once they walked out of Tun Xu Dragon Mansion, Long Teng wore a large smile on his face as he said, “From today onwards, you two are no longer slaves of the Dragon Tribe, you can freely enter and exit Dragon Capital as well as the various territories of Sky Dragon Court!”
“That is great!” Su Mo nodded in satisfaction. This was great news that came just in time as he was prepared to leave Dragon Tribe.
If that was the case, he could return anytime he wanted as an External Dragon Tribe member.
“We finally escaped that awful status!” Si Kongyan broke into a smile. He had been ashamed of his slave status.
With that, the three headed to Slave Manor where the news of the imperial order had reached him already. In no time, Su Mo’s and Si Kongyan’s slave identity was destroyed.
Thereafter, Long Teng brought the two to the Dragon Tribe Quarters to handle important admin matters and obtain identity badges as well as individual manors for the two.
The manors of Su Mo and Si Kongyan were smaller and less vivid than Long Teng’s, taking up an area no larger than a few thousand square feet. Their manors only constituted a single palace and a side hall.
From this, one could see that the status of an External Tribe member in Dragon Tribe was small.
However, Su Mo and Si Kongyan did not mind this as it was much better than being a slave.
The three sat in Su Mo’s manor grand hall.
“Su Mo, I have to congratulate you for reaching yet another cultivation rank!” Long Teng congratulated. He had realized that Su Mo had reached the Upper Rank 3 Realm.
“Your cultivation rank should be about there too!” Su Mo added.
His sharp senses had sensed that both Long Teng and Si Kongyan’s aurad had reached a stage which they were about to break through.
“Yes, I am reaching there soon. I should be able to break through within a month!” Si Kongyan uttered with confidence.
“Then you are about to catch up to me!” Long Teng laughed lightly. Although his cultivation rank progression was fast, he could not break through within a month.
All of a sudden, Long Teng’s expression hardened and the atmosphere turned heavy.
“Su Mo, I have an idea. See if you are willing to go ahead with it?” Long Teng said in a low voice
“What is it?” Su Mo asked curiously.
After a moment of silence, Long Teng lowered his voice, “I have tried my best to perform in the Dragon Tribe during this period of time and have received many compliments from the higher ups in Dragon Tribe. However, I am far from completing the mission you gave me. My idea is for you to act personally and help me.”
“Personally act? How so?” Su Mo asked, slightly confused. Si Kongyan also frowned as he stared at Long Teng intensely.
“It is like this. The Dragon Tribe has many pagodas, where one of them is the Archosaur Tower. If you can obtain Blood Essence from there and help merge it for me, it would be great!” Long Teng said.
“Archosaur Dragon Blood?” Su Mo exclaimed with surprise.
“That’s right, the Archosaur Dragon Blood that is Blood Essence left behind by Chaotic Archosaur!”
Long Teng nodded his head heavily and continued, “It was rumored that when Chaotic Archosaur left behind this Blood Essence, he left word that if anyone merged with this blood in the future, they would inherit his will!’
“That good?” Si Kongyan’s mouth fell open in shock. Could merging with the Blood Essence allow one to become the Chaotic Archosaur’s heir?
“No one knows how strong the Blood Essence is as no one has been able to obtain it!”
Long Teng sighed and added, “The Blood Essence is considered a treasure to other tribes and is a sacred item for the Dragon Tribe. Through many generations of Dragon Tribe members, many talents have wanted to obtain the Blood Essence but no one has succeeded.”
“So, you want me to get this Blood Essence?” Su Mo’s expression turned serious. This was an important matter that he had to consider carefully.
“Mm, there is hope with your talents!” Long Teng nodded.
“I am an External Dragon Tribe member and not an actual Dragon Tribe member. If I obtain this Blood Essence, will it cause chaos?” Su Mo asked in all seriousness.
“You will definteily not be able to protect the Blood Essence if it is with you as it is a treasure that even the Dragon Emperor holds dearly. If you obtain the Archosaur Dragon Blood, you should merge it with me in the first instance!” Long Teng warned.
“Do you think this is possible?” Su Mo asked. If he really did it with all his heart, his identity could be exposed.
“Yes!”
Long Teng nodded his head and continued, “Even if your talents and power shock the Dragon Tribe, your identity will not be exposed immediately. Once I merge with the Archosaur Dragon Blood, I will soar with power. Even if I am unable to control Dragon Tribe immediatley, I will have immense control and power.
He had thought through this matter with all seriousness previously. This was the only way for him to obtain a high position in Dragon Tribe in the short term and hence use the Dragon Tribe’s power.
“Since you think it is possible, I shall give it a try!” Su Mo sighed deeply before he nodded his head.
The Archosaur Dragon Blood…. Chaotic Archosaur was one of the top Ancient Masters, his Blood Essence would be incredibly valuable.
