Warrior’s Promise

Mist billowed around the vast Mist Mountains. This was a forbidden area of the world.

Suddenly, a figure peered out from behind the thick fog.

Su Mo emerged from the mist and observed his surroundings to check if there was anyone from the Netherworld Devil Sect laying in ambush.

After all, he was trading with the Netherworld Devil Sect and it was inevitable that they would set up an ambush.

However, the Mist Mountains was very large and spanned hundreds of thousands of miles. The Netherworld Devil Sect could not possibly set up traps on the entire mountain.

After careful observation and not finding any traps, Su Mo hurried into the distance.

Four hours later, Su Mo landed in Ye City.

He immediately sent a message to Sikong Yan and informed him of his coordinates, asking Sikong Yan to come here.

Buzz…

Su Mo’s messaging charm vibrated a few moments later. Sikong Yan had replied.

“Brother Wenren and I are near Ye City. We will be there in two hours!” Sikong Yan’s voice resonated from the Messaging Charm.

Sikong Yan and Wenren Tiandu had been waiting near the Mist Mountains knowing that Su Mo was about to exchange Wu Shan with the Netherworld Devil Sect there.

“Alright. I’ll be at the Tianyun inn in the city, in room number 3. I’ll wait for you guys!” Su Mo messaged.

Then, Su Mo kept his Messaging Charm and waited in the inn.

“Knock! Knock! Knock!”

Someone knocked on the door less than two hours later. Sikong Yan and Wenren Tiandu were here.

Su Mo opened the door and invited the pair in.

“Su Mo, according to what we know, the Netherworld Devil Sect will set up a trap to ensnare you during the exchange and then kill you!” Wentian Duren said gravely.

“That’s alright!” Su Mo smiled when he heard that. He might not have dared to go had they been anywhere else. But there was nobody who could stop him in the Mist Mountains.

Who could chase after him once he retreats into the mist?

“Oh? What are you going to do?” The two were both surprised and confused.

“The Mist Mountains might be a forbidden area to everyone else. But it is like my back garden!” Su Mo said laughingly.

“Back garden?”

The two were startled and even more confused when they heard that. Could Su Mo ignore the endless mist?

“I can enter and leave the Mist Mountains at will!” Su Mo explained with a slight smile when he saw their confused expressions.

The two were greatly shocked when they heard this. The Mist Mountain was a famous forbidden area of the world and Su Mo could leave and enter at will. This was too shocking!

“Alright, you two don’t have to worry!”

Su Mo shook his head and looked at Sikong Yan. He said, “Give Wu Shan to me!”

Sikong Yan and Wenren Tiandu nodded. They did not have to worry since Su Mo was confident.

Furthermore, the Emperor Xuan Palace and Sky-sea Pavilion would help if anything were to happen.

Then, Sikong Yan waved his arm, and a pathetic figure appeared before them. It was Wu Shan.

Wu Shan’s hair was disheveled and he his body was littered with wounds. His aura was weak and he did not even seem human.

Wu Shan could not even stand when he appeared. He stumbled and sat on the ground.

“Sikong Yan, you tortured him again!” Su Mo said, looking at Sikong Yan.

“Tee-hee!”

Sikong Yan smiled awkwardly and replied, “This fella was too proud. I just wanted him to surrender to me!”

Su Mo did not speak when he heard that. Wu Shan was really unlucky to have landed in Sikong Yan’s hands.

However, Su Mo did not say anything else. It was fine as long as Wu Shan was still alive. He waved his arm and put Wu Shan into his Divine Map.

Then, the three sat down and began to discuss what would happen next.

“Sikong Yan, Brother Wenren, you two had better return to the Firmament Palace!” Su Mo said softly.

“Su Mo, we think so too. We shall return to the Firmament Palace after a while!” Wenren Tiandu said.

“Alright!”

Su Mo nodded and replied, “I shall return after some time as well. It is time for the Firmament to make its appearance in the world!”

Light glinted in both Wenren Tiandu and Sikong Yan’s eyes when they heard that.

The two had long anticipated for the Firmament Palace to enter the world. Only then, will the Firmament Palace be the true Firmament Palace and rise again instead of only having a few of them like right now.

However, upon thinking that there were only three of them, Sikong Yan asked, “Su Mo, do you think it’s not appropriate to enter the world now? Have you found all the descendants to the nine palaces?”

“The descendants of the nine palaces!”

Su Mo felt a throbbing headache when he heard that. He had already selected five people. They were Wenren Tiandu for the Illuminious Palace, Sikong Yan for the Firescorching Palace, Hong Qingxuan for the Evergreen Palace, Cai Yun for the Dark Night Palace and Jiang Fengran for the Wind-cloud Palace.

But descendants for the Brightgold Palace, Watermoon Palace, Earth Palace and Thunderous Palace had yet to be found.

Originally, Hong Qingxuan had recommended his Master, Qian Xunyue, to be a descendant of the Watermoon Palace. But Qian Xunyue was badly injured and they did not know if she could be healed!

Furthermore, he had not told Jiang Fengran about him making him a descendant, so he did not know if he would agree to it.

Where was he going to find descendants for the palaces?

Su Mo sighed darkly. He could still cobble together a few selections if he was only missing one or two descendants. But he was missing four, where was he going to find four descendants with appropriate talent and character?

“Zhan Luan!”

An idea crossed Su Mo’s mind. Zhan Luan’s Earth Martial Soul was very powerful. Wouldn’t he be a suitable descendant for the Earth Palace?

However, his relationship with Zhan Luan was not good. In fact, they bore grudges against each other. Would Zhan Luan be willing to be his subordinate and work for the Firmament Palace?

This was impossible! And even if it were possible, it would be very troublesome!

Then, SuMo said, “I will work on getting the descendants! The approach of the Firmament Palace will be unstoppable!”

“Alright!”

Sikong Yan and Wenren Tiandu nodded. Since Su Mo wanted the Firmament Palace to enter the world, then enter the world it would!

“Su Mo, the entrance of the Firmament Palace would definitely cause waves in the Firmament World. I suspect there would be trouble then.”

Wenren Taindu’s expression was somber as he said gravely, “The factions of the Firmament World would definitely not allow the revival of the Firmament Palace!”

Wenren Tiandu was a meticulous person who considered the situation from all angles.

Su Mo’s expression turned grave when he heard that. He had naturally thought of this as well.

“Rest assured! I will try to break into the Martial Royal Realm as soon as possible. Nobody can stop the revival of the Firmament Palace!”

Su Mo looked confident. Though he might not be invincible once he broke into the Martial Royal Realm, the number of people who could defeat him could be counted on one hand!

Of course, it was not simple to break into the Martial Royal Realm. However, Su Mo was confident that he could manage that in half a year’s time.

Then, Su Mo and the pair discussed matters pertaining to the Firmament’s Palace entering the world for a moment before bidding the two farewell.

Sikong Yan and Wenren Tiandu returned to the Firmament Palace and prepared to cultivate in seclusion. The Firmament Palace would enter the world once Su Mo returns.

Meanwhile, Su Mo headed straight for the Mist Mountains after leaving Ye City.
