Chapter 721: What Did This Person Do to Receive Such Respectful Treatment from the Dragon Palace Master?
Ao Tian smiled awkwardly.
He immediately realized he had lost his composure.
Indeed.
Slaying the Netherworld Evil Dragon was Shen Mo's affair.
How could he possibly inquire about Shen Mo's trump cards?
Ao Tian took several deep breaths before speaking, "My sincerest apologies. We searched for the Netherworld Evil Dragon for a long time but could never find any trace."
"Suddenly receiving news that he was already dead truly caught me off guard."
Shen Mo smiled, "I understand."
Ao Tian said earnestly, "So, Supreme Shen, what are your plans next?"
"You are a friend and great benefactor to our Four Sacred Dragon Palace!"
"Any action you take, our Four Sacred Dragon Palace will fully support it."
Shen Mo waved his hand, "No hurry. Let us wait for the reinforcements from other forces to arrive."
Seeing this, Ao Tian nodded.
He instructed, "Ao Xuan, lead Supreme Shen and the four senior demon race members to their resting quarters."
A dragon clan member with tender dragon horns on her head approached gracefully, leading Shen Mo and the others away.
The Four Sacred Dragon Palace truly lived up to its reputation as a vast, ancient power with a long history.
The residence arranged for them was a palace constructed from vast amounts of undersea crystal.
The palace was also decorated with numerous corals and shells.
Each dwelling was equipped with a special sound-transmitting conch.
With just one word, members of the sea races would immediately arrive to serve them.
Of course, Chuitian Rongshu and the others were too large in size. They had to shrink their bodies or transform into human forms to truly fit inside.
Shen Mo had stopped only to wait for one person.
Shi Tianhao.
Earlier, he had checked the life panels of Ao Tian and the other dragon clan members.
He immediately discovered that Shi Tianhao was closely linked to their recent turning point.
Furthermore, finding the missing True Dragon Holy Land also required Shi Tianhao.
"It seems I must continue shearing Shi Tianhao's wool."
Shen Mo laughed.
...
Within half a month.
The major forces arrived one after another.
The demonic disaster ravaging the West Sinking Sea grew increasingly fierce.
If they did not intervene to help, the disaster would likely escalate further, eventually becoming a massive calamity that would cause panic across all the states.
Initially, the dragon clan was somewhat reluctant to set aside their pride, wanting to resist the demonic disaster alone.
But after some time, they had been soundly taught a lesson by the disaster.
Thinking they could completely eliminate the demonic disaster by themselves was pure fantasy.
They had to rely on external power to thoroughly eradicate it.
Therefore, they now had no choice but to set aside their pride and accept help from the major forces.
Supremes from the great powers of East State, Central State, and the Heavenly Southern Archipelago all arrived together.
Of course.
Many Supremes brought along the geniuses from their respective forces while coming.
These geniuses were only in the Nirvana Realm, naturally unable to participate in the battles of Supremes.
The sole purpose of bringing them here was to broaden their horizons.
After all, the West Sinking Sea was usually the dragon clan's territory.
The proud dragon clan would not casually allow humans to enter.
Amidst this atmosphere, the Four Sacred Dragon Palace gradually became lively.
On this day, the Dragon Palace Master Ao Tian once again summoned the Supremes of the major forces to discuss matters concerning the elimination of the demonic disaster.
Shen Mo naturally attended as well.
Ao Tian saw him from afar and, in front of all the Supremes, strode forward purposefully. He personally welcomed Shen Mo and escorted him to the seat of honor.
This scene inevitably shocked the other Supremes.
Who was this person, that they could sit in the seat of honor?
The Dragon Palace Master was undoubtedly the most ancient Supreme present.
What had this person done to receive such respectful treatment from the Dragon Palace Master?
They did not yet know that the Netherworld Evil Dragon was already dead.
And that it had died at Shen Mo's hands.
The Dragon Palace Master surveyed the assembly and smiled.
"Esteemed Supremes, I believe some among you may not yet know."
"The Netherworld Evil Dragon is already dead."
"And it was slain by this human Supreme beside me!"
At these words, the entire hall was shaken.
The Netherworld Evil Dragon is dead?!
Slain by a completely unfamiliar human Supreme?
Those Supremes from East State who had seen Shen Mo remained relatively composed.
As for the Supremes from Central State and the Heavenly Southern Archipelago, they stared at each other in bewilderment.
They seemed to communicate with their eyes.
Is that the Supreme from your faction?
No, is he from yours?
Not that either. Whose is he?
As for those Supremes who had met Shen Mo, such as Lei Daoheng and Supreme Bai, though somewhat mentally prepared.
Learning that Shen Mo had killed the Netherworld Evil Dragon still filled them with profound shock.
Something even the Four Sacred Dragon Palace could not accomplish, he had achieved.
It was utterly absurd.
The Dragon Palace Master saw those old-timers looking just as shocked as he had been upon first hearing the news, and his heart immediately felt balanced.
A Supreme suddenly spoke up, "May I ask which faction this Supreme represents?"
They were all intensely curious.
The number of Supremes was not large.
With the exception of those who constantly roamed the chaotic void streams seeking heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
Most were familiar with one another.
This unfamiliar face of Shen Mo, they had truly never seen before.
Before Shen Mo could speak.
Shangguan Yun of the Reincarnation Holy Land spoke first, declaring with considerable pride, "He is the newly ascended Supreme of our East State Reincarnation Holy Land!"
The other Supremes immediately cast envious glances.
The Reincarnation Holy Land is formidable.
To have recruited such a newly ascended Supreme.
He even slew the Netherworld Evil Dragon!
The Supremes offered their congratulations one after another.
They also probed indirectly about Shen Mo's cultivation level and other matters.
Shen Mo wore a smile, offering only brief, casual replies without elaborating.
Soon, the Dragon Palace Master Ao Tian declared in a loud voice, "Everyone, the most pressing matter now is to eliminate the demonic disasters ravaging the various seas of the West Sinking Sea, and to find the missing True Dragon Holy Land."
"Our dragon clan warriors discover new disaster sites daily. They can only manage the symptoms; eradicating the root cause must be left to you Supremes."
Ao Tian stated solemnly, "Whatever the Supremes require, our Four Sacred Dragon Palace possesses it."
"I guarantee, as long as the demonic disaster can be eliminated, whatever you need, feel free to take it from the Dragon Palace!"
Hearing this, the Supremes all broke into smiles.
They hadn't traveled all this way just to help completely without compensation.
With that promise, wasn't everything settled?
Your Four Sacred Dragon Palace is the most ancient; you must possess countless inherited treasures and ancient artifacts.
"Rest assured, we will certainly lend our full strength."
"The Demon Race is our common enemy; we must face them with all our might!"
"Eradicating the demonic disaster is our unshirkable duty!"
Hearing these declarations, Ao Tian's heart settled slightly.
They exchanged a few more pleasantries.
Meanwhile.
In a side hall adjacent to the main chamber, the juniors brought by the Supremes were also holding their own gathering.
They were particularly curious about the topics being discussed by the Supremes.
Unfortunately, powerful dragon clan guards sealed the main hall, preventing them from entering even a single step.
They could only faintly hear the sounds drifting from the great hall.
"It seemed silent in the main hall for a moment just now, though it was clearly very lively before."
Li Yunlong of the Fen Tian Divine Sect was eating a specialty of the Four Sacred Dragon Palace when she suddenly tilted her head and said.
Prince Li Yin of the East Li Imperial Dynasty whispered, "Brother, can you guess why that happened?"
Li Cangfeng shook his head, "I do not know either, Xiao Yin. Don't be too curious. That is the Supremes' affair."
Shi Tianhao and Lei Zizhen stood in a corner, also speculating about what had just occurred.
