Warrior’s Promise

Su Mo who was meditating with his eyes closed slowly opened his eyes.

He scanned the horned demons with his eyes andwas slightly surprised that there were still more than a dozen experts in the Martial King Realm among them.

“There are still people in the Martial King Realm in the Horned-demon tribe?”

Su Mo asked in confusion. The Horned-demon tribe and the disciples of the Celestialspirit Sect had always been trying to kill each other in the horned-demon territory. Why had the experts in the Martial King Realm never acted if the Horned-demon tribe had them?

“Holy Son, the Horned-demon tribe has 18 experts in the Martial King Realm. We were worried that the higher-ups in the Celestialspirit Sect would try to kill them, so they have sealed their own cultivation and remained hidden in the Horned-demon Territory.” Jin Li answered softly.

Jin Li was Cai Yun’s grandfather. He and Su Mo had had a brief encounter, but he had not expected that the Holy Son would grow so quickly in such a short period of time.

He had already found out from Cai Yun that they were only able to escape thanks to Su Mo.

Su Mo nodded when he heard that. Even though the Horned-demon tribe was weak now, they should not be taken lightly.

For there to be more than a dozen experts in the Martial King Realm to appear in a small place like the Horned-demon Territory would imply how powerful the tribe was.

Su Mo believed that as long as the tribe was given enough time, it might not regain the strength that it had possessed in ancient times, but it would at least become as powerful as the Dixuan Sect.

After all, the tribe was a pure tribe from the ancient times, and their potential was enormous.

After sighing deeply, Su Mo did not converse anymore with Jin Li or the others. He said to Cai Yun, “Take them back to the Green Mountains!”

With that, Su Mo stood up and prepared to leave.

“Where are you going?” Cai Yun asked hurriedly.

“To destroy the Cold-blood Hall!” Su Mo looked into the distance and said blandly.

Cai Yun was shocked when she heard that. Though the other disciples of the Celestialspirit Sect had already guessed that he would do that, they still could not hide their surprise.

It seemed that Su Mo was really going to destroy the Cold-blood Hall!

The East Continent was really about to undergo a huge change again!

“I’ll go with you!” Cai Yun gritted her teeth and said determinedly.

Destroying the Cold-blood Hall was no small matter. Even though Su Mo’s power seemed to be invincible, Cai Yun was still worried and wanted to go with him.

Su Mo sighed when he heard that and then nodded. He still did not know the specific location of the Cold-blood Hall, and she should know better than him!

Then, Su Mo’s Mind poured out, enveloping everyone in the Horned-demon tribe and sending them into the Divine Map in an instant.

These people from the Horned-demon tribe did not have high cultivation states. That was why he did not need their consent before sending them into the Divine Map easily.

“Let’s go!”

Su Mo called to Cai Yun and then rose into the air, flying into the horizon.

Cai Yun saw that and wondered where the people of the Horned-demon tribe went. She moved and hurried after Su Mo.

The people of the Celestialspirit Sect watched as he left and did not speak for a long while.

The Holy Son?

What Holy Son was Su Mo? Where was the Holy Son from?

…

Su Mo and Cai Yun flew quickly above the clouds.

To be exact, Su Mo was flying after Cai Yun. Cai Yun knew where the headquarters of the Cold-blood Hall was located and led the way.

“Miss Cai Yun, I noticed that you cultivate in the dark property. How is your talent in it?”

Su Mo asked as they flew.

“It’s alright!” Cai Yun answered.

Cai Yun was not as cold towards Su Mo anymore. It could be because the Horned-demon sect had escaped successfully, or perhaps because she was grateful to Su Mo.

“What does alright mean? I need an exact answer!” Su Mo said solemnly. If she was talented in the dark property, she could become the descendant of the Dark Night Palace.

Su Mo’s requirements for the descendants of the nine palaces were not strict as long as they had talent.

Cai Yun was bewildered. She did not understand why Su Mo was so insistent on asking about her talent in the dark property.

Cai Yun muttered to herself and said, “My talent in the dark property is close to the dark spirit build!”

“Oh?” Su Mo’s eyes brightened when he heard that. In this case, she was really quite suited to be a descendant of the Dark Night Palace.

Su Mo nodded to himself. He did not check if her talent in the dark property was really that strong as he trusted that she would not lie to him.

“Miss Cai Yun, do you know of the Dark Night Palace?” Su Mo asked in a deep voice.

“The Dark Night Palace?”

Cai Yun was startled when she heard that. Then, shenodded gently, saying, “I know of it!”

There were nine major palaces in the Firmament Palace. This was no secret. The Horned-demon tribe once served the Firmament Palace, so Cai Yun naturally knew of the Dark Night Palace.

“The Dark Night Palace still does not have a descendant. You’d make a good fit!” Su Mo said with a smile.

“The descendant of the Dark Night Palace?”

Cai Yun suddenly stopped and looked at Su Mo in surprise when she heard that.

Being a descendant meant that she would succeed the throne of the Dark Night Palace and would become the Palace Master of the Dark Night Palace in the future!

Cai Yun was very surprised that Su Mo wanted to make her the descendant of the Dark Night Palace.

Did Su Mo think so highly of her and trusted her so much?

“Indeed!”

Su Mo stopped in front of Cai Yun and said solemnly, “You are the heir to the Palace Master of the Dark Night Palace from now on. Your tribe and your Horned-demon Sect will all belong to the Dark Night Palace.”

Su Mo was no longer weak and he wanted to expand the Firmament Palace as well as quickly boost the strength of it.

Even though Su Mo had not spent much time with Cai Yun, he trusted the girl. While she appeared to be cold, he could feel that she was a good person.

Cai Yun fell silent, a grave expression appearing in her cold eyes.

After a few moments, Cai Yun looked at Su Mo and sighed, saying, “Su Mo, you might not know this. But the rules of the Firmament Palace states that servants like us cannot become descendants to the nine palaces.”

“There are such rules?” Su Mo was surprised when he heard that. He had never heard Gold One or the other puppets mention this before.

“Indeed!” Cai Yun nodded.

“What kind of shitty rules are they. How can there a distinction between classes?”

Su Mo laughed and shook his head. He said, “I am the Holy Son now, and I make the rules. This is set!”

With that, Su Mo continued flying forward.

“How vulgar!”

Cai Yun paused slightly when she saw that. And then, she followed after him immediately.

However, Cai Yun was not angry. If she became the descendant of the Dark Night Palace and received the legacy of the palace, she would be able to lead the Horned-demon tribe to the top.

“Will you really make me the descendant of the Dark Night Palace?” Cai Yun asked uncertainly, chasing after Su Mo.

It was not that Cai Yun did not believe Su Mo, but it was because Su Mo’s decision was made so hastily.

The descendants of the nine palaces were so important! But Su Mo had chosen her so casually, making it hard for her to believe in it.

“Of course. I will take you to the Firmament to receive your legacy after some time!” Su Mo said.

Cai Yun took a deep breath when she heard that and nodded slightly.

She did not reject it. There was no reason for her to reject such a good deal.

The two did not speak anymore and hurried towards the headquarters of the Cold-blood Hall.
