Warrior’s Promise

Su Mo was rather familiar with the geography of the Devilish Land and it did not take long for him to arrive at the Sky Devil City.

The Sky Devil City was in a state of disrepair. More than half of the city wall had fallen, and yet no one had repaired it.

Su Mo entered the city and quickly arrived at the Mansion of the City Governor.

However, what he saw made him sigh darkly. It was no wonder the Sky Devil City was so rundown. Even the Mansion of the City Governor had been destroyed.

The large Mansion had become a ruin, so how would there be anyone around!

“What happened?” Su Mo wondered. Could the Sky Devil City’s Governer Mansion be destroyed by someone? Then where was Yin Tianchou?

Su Mo was bewildered. He saw someone walking by on the street and immediately went to ask the passer-by.

“Excuse me, how was the Mansion of the City Governor destroyed?” Su Mo asked softly.

The passer-by was a young man of about 20. He was slightly pudgy and looked kind.

The young man heard Su Mo’s question and sighed, “The Mansion was destroyed by the Horned-demon Sect!”

“The Horned-demon Sect?”

Su Mo frowned and asked, “Then where is the governor’s son, Yin Tianchou? Is he dead?”

“No, Yin Tianchou and the Governor have all submitted to the Horned-demon Sect!” The young man shook his head and said.

“Is this Horned-demon Sect very powerful? Su Mo asked softly. He had never heard of this sect. He also heaved a sigh of relief. All was well since Yin Tianchou had not died.

“They’re very powerful. The Horned-demon Sect had only developed their powers over the past year. In only a year, they had managed to conquer the major forces of the Devilish Land. The queen of the sect is terrifyingly powerful!” said the young man.

Su Mo suddenly understood and he asked, “Then where is the gate to the Horned-demon Sect?”

“The sect is within the Green Mountains!” answered the young man.

Su Mo nodded. He had heard of the Green Mountains. It was an extensive mountain range on the edge of the Devilish Land.

“Many thanks!” Su Mo placed his fists together and thanked the young man. Then, he rushed into the air and hurried away.

The slightly pudgy young man looked in the direction of where Su Mo had gone and did not speak for a long while. Moments later, with a shocked expression on his face, he muttered to himself, “Su Mo has appeared once again!”

The young man had already recognized Su Mo. Su Mo had disappeared when the Cold-blood Hall had attacked the East Continent. No one could have imagined that he would appear a year later.

“It seems like something great is about to happen at the East Continent!” The young man sighed. Su Mo was a legendary character of the East Continent. His appearance meant that an earth-shattering event was about to happen.

After leaving the Sky Devil City, Su Mo hurried towards the Green Mountains. The Devilish Land was not large. As such, it took Su Mo an hour to arrive at the mountains.

The Green Mountains were rather large. Upon entering the mountain ranges, Su Mo stretched out his spiritual consciousness in search of the Horned-demon Sect.

Moments later, a large explosion caught his attention, and he found the location of the sect.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The chain of explosions rang in Su Mo’s ears as he flew in the direction of the sound.

Su Mo saw a large valley from afar. There were many structures and people in the valley.

And right at this moment, the forces in the valley were facing an ambush.

Several men in black robes surrounded the valley. There were also several experts fighting in the sky. Sanguine light shot towards the sky and waves of Dark Forces enveloped the area. It was an intense fight.

Su Mo looked over and immediately recognized that the men in black were from the Cold-blood Hall.

Su Mo saw Yin Tianchou’s father Yin Qingyuan amongst the experts fighting in the sky. This must be where the Horned-demon Sect was located.

The experts of the Horned-demon Sect were losing to the Cold-blood Hall. Experts would fall from time to time. They were no match for the Cold-blood Hall at all.

“It’s her!”

At this moment, Su Mo’s gaze was drawn to a person because he had seen someone he knew.

There was a slender figure amongst those fighting. She was also wearing black robes and a black veil covered her face, obscuring her features.

But Su Mo recognized her at once. She was Cai Yun from the Horned-demon tribe.

“She’s the queen of the Horned-demon Sect?” Su Mo suddenly understood why the sect was named the ‘Horned-demon Sect’. So it was Cai Yun.

Cai Yun was from the Horned-demon tribe. The tribe served the Five Elements. In other words, they were a subsidiary force of the Firmament Palace.

The Horned-demon tribe were trapped in the Celestialspirit Sect’s Horned-demon Territory. Su Mo had given up his freedom after taking her from the territory.

Su Mo last saw her when the Billion Demonic Sword appeared.

It seemed that the rather capable girl had created the Horned-demon Sect and had taken in a large portion of the powers in the Devilish Land.

The battle in the sky above the valley was at a crescendo. Cai Yun’s cultivation state was at the fourth level of the Martial King Realm, however, her combat strength was powerful.

Even though she was being attacked by three experts from the Cold-blood Hall who were at the Lv 7 Martial King Realm and was at a disadvantage, her combat strength could not be overlooked.

Cai Yun’s cultivated in the dark property cultivation skill. Her Dark Force was powerful, dark and cold beyond compare.

Su Mo watched silently. If he did not act, the expert of the Horned-demon Sect would probably die.

No matter whether the Horned-demon sect was built by Cai Yun or not, he would not let the Cold-blood Hall off. He would kill every single one of them he saw.

With that, nine Natal Spiritual Swords were shot out in a flashing arc towards the front in an attack.

Yin Qingyuan was severely injured and was bleeding. He was fending off an attack from two experts of the Cold-blood Hall and was not able to hold them off any longer.

Yin Qingyuan was worried. It didn’t matter if he died, but his son, Yin Tianchou must not die.

He gritted his teeth and was about to flee with Yin Tianchou.

Right at that moment, two almost imperceptible rays of lightning shot by Yin Qingyuan. And at the next moment, Yin Qingyuan looked at the scene before him with wide eyes.

The two Cold-blood Hall experts in front of him suddenly had their heads blown off. They did not even have time to scream in pain and had died immediately. Their corpses fell onto the ground, startling Yin Qingyuan.

Blood flowed incessantly from Cai Yun’s mouth as she retreated. She was also badly injured. Even though she was strong, she could not fend off an attack from three Cold-blood Hall experts who were in the Lv 7 Martial King Realm.

Cai Yun felt a profound sadness in her heart. She had created the Horned-demon Sect to bolster her strength in hopes that she could rescue the Horned-demon tribe one day.

The Horned-demon tribe were in the Horned-demon Territory. It used to be a land used for trial tests by the Celestialspirit Sect. However, now that the Celestialspirit Sect had submitted to the Cold-blood Hall, it became even more difficult to rescue her tribe.

Because she not only had to go against the Celestialspirit Sect, she also had to face the Cold-blood Hall.

However, Cai Yun had never once given up. She was born in the tribe and grew up within the tribe. It was her life’s wish to rescue the Horned-demon tribe.

It would be possible as long as the Horned-demon Sect could continue to grow and go against the Celestialspirit Sect and the Cold-blood Hall.

However, her hope was about to be extinguished today. The Cold-blood Hall had come to their sect and attacked them. It would be difficult for the Horned-demon Sect to survive.

This was something Cai Yun had not expected. In the past, the Cold-blood Hall had only acted against the major powers. And while the Horned-demon Sect was powerful in the Devilish Land, they were insignificant in the East Continent.

“Haha! Horned-demon Queen, I, the elder of Cold-blood Hall, will spare your life if you become my bedmate!” An expert from the Cold-blood Hall guffawed. He had heard that the Horned-demon Queen was a beauty and it would be great if he could take her as one of his concubines.

“The Cold-blood Hall will pay a terrible price for this in the future!” Cai Yun’s face was as cold as ice. She yelled angrily and prepared to flee.

She thought of leaving, for if she did not leave now, she might fall here.

With that, Cai Yun retreated in a hurry. She looked down and was about to order all her disciples to retreat and flee.

Something changed right at this moment. Three extremely sharp rays of lightning flashed by Cai Yun’s side.
