Warrior’s Promise

More than ten thousand li away from Heaven-sea City, a beam of light flashed as Su Mo’s figure suddenly appeared.

Looking at the direction of Heaven-sea City, Su Mo took a moment to think and then flew over.

The Sky-sea Pavilion helped him last time. This favor was huge. Su Mo of course wanted to thank them as he passed by.

Not long after, Su Mo arrived at Heaven-sea City, right in front of the gate to the Sky-sea Pavilion.

“Master Su!’

“Master Su is back!”

At the gate of the Sky-sea Pavilion, there were a dozen guards who appeared suprised to see Su Mo. Then, they screamed out loud.

What Su Mo did a few months ago was a great shock to the entire Firmament World.

The capture of Wu Shan and the defeat of Zhan Luan caused a sensation across the Firmament World.

Su Mo’s name spread acroass the Firmament World from the five continents to the four seas like thunder piercing the ear.

Rumor had it that Su Mo had entered the forbidden area Mist Mountains and probably could never come out. However, Su Mo was right there in their face.

The guards were in shock. Apparently, the rumors were not true at all.

“Master Su, welcome!”

Later on, the guards hurried to greet Su Mo and welcomed him into the Sky-sea Pavilion.

“Thank you!”

Su Mo nodded slightly as he strode into the Sky-sea Pavilion.

As soon as Su Mon entered the Sky-sea Pavilion, a sensation was stirred up inside.

“My lord! Su Mo is back!”

“Su Mo is not dead!”

“He made it out of the Mist Mountains!”

Loud exclamations came one after another. Those who saw Su Mo in the Sky-sea Pavilion couldn’t help crying out.

The entire Sky-sea Pavilion was shaken from bottom up. Numerous martial artists flew over from everywhere.

As if Su Mo were a drop dead beauty, drawing the attention of them all.

Su Mo was speechless. He didn’t expect this.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

A harsh sound pierced through the air as a dozen experts flew over.

These experts were led by Deputy Pavilion Leader Qian. Hall Chief Yi and Deputy Hall Chief Hu of the Craftsmanship Hall were also among the group.

“Su Mo, you are alive! How great!”

The group came to Su Mo. Deputy Hall Chief Hu had a very bright smile.

“Masters, long time no see!” Su Mo gently smiled at them, saluting with hands folded.

“Hahah! Su Mo, I heard you went into the Mist Mountains. I knew the mountains couldn’t trap you!” Deputy Pavilion Leader Qian laughed.

“Heheh. It was close!” Su Mo responded with a smile.

“The Peak of the Martial King Realm!”

Suddenly, Deputy Hall Chief Hu glared at him. His old face looked shocked.

Upon hearing Deputy Hall Chief Hu’s exclamation, the crowd glanced at Su Mo. They were stunned, with disbelief in their eyes.

Su Mo’s cultivation had reached the Peak Martial King Realm!

Hiss! Hiss!

The crowd gasped in shock. Many of them put on a bitter smile.

Comparisons are odious!

During the fight with Zhan Luan, Su Mo was at Lv 6 Martial King Realm. It was only a few months ago and now he already reached the Peak of the Lv 9 Martial King Realm!

This was too fast!

This was way repugnant to common sense.

Everyone knew Su Mo was a talent who improved at the speed of a rocket. However, they still couldn’t help feeling shocked.

Once a martial artist reached the Martial King Realm, his progress would slow down. Even the most talented genius would need three to five years to improve from Lv 6 to the peak of Lv 9 Martial King Realm. It didn’t even take Su Mo half a year.

How could they be not shocked?

Soon Deputy Hall Chief Qian’s shock was replaced by an even brighter smile. The crazier Su Mo grew, the better for the Sky-sea Pavilion.

He was extremely accurate in judging people. He knew Su Mo was not an ungrateful man.

Otherwise, he would not risk making an enemy of the Netherworld Devil Sect and losing a large number of experts for Su Mo.

“Su Mo, welcome. We shall talk more in the hall!”

Deputy Pavilion Leader Qian guided with a smile, very polite, giving Su Mo enough respect.

Deputy Pavilion Leader Qian was a master at Lv 9 Martial Royal Realm. Not many people in this world received such kind treatment from him.

“Excellent!”

Su Mo nodded as he followed Deputy Pavilion Leader Qian into the hall.

…

In the hall, Deputy Pavilion Leader Qian took the main seat with Su Mo sitting alone to his right and all the senior members of the Sky-sea Pavilion to his left.

“So, Su Mo, how did you get out of the Mist Mountains?” Asked Deputy Pavilion Leader Qian out of curiosity.

“I have special methods!” Su Mo cut it short with a gentle smile.

“Sure.”

Deputy Pavilion Leader Qian nodded slightly. Since Su Mo didn’t get in details, he wouldn’t ask further.

“Su Mo, this is the greatest blessing that you are safe and sound!”

Deputy Pavilion Leader Qian’s eyes glistened as he continued, “Our Pavilion Leader would like to meet you!”

“Oh?” Su Mo’s eyes shone brightly. Pavilion Leader of the Sky-sea Pavilion was a very big figure and he wanted to see him!

“Where is Pavilion Leader?” Asked Su Mo in a serious tone.

“He’s in seclusion again.”

Deputy Pavilion Leader Qian heaved a sigh, “At such an old age, Pavilion Leader was reaching the end of his life span. He’s in a hurry to hit the bottleneck of the realm.”

“When will Pavilion Leader come out of seclusion?” Asked Su Mo again.

A martial artist at the Martial Royal Realm or higher would have a life span of over five hundred years. This Pavilion Leader was coming to the end of his life. He must be really, really old.

“I’m not sure but I’ll contact you when Pavilion Leader is out of seclusion!”

Deputy Pavilion Leader Qian answered. He took out a Messaging Charm and handed it to Su Mo. “It is a Messaging Charm specially made by the Sky-sea Pavilion. It can’t telepathize but you can feel it from hundreds of thousands of li away.

“Great!” Su Mo accepted the Messaging Charm solemnly. He had no idea how much longer this Pavilion Leader would stay in seclusion. Maybe the Firmament Palace would go public first.

Su Mo had a very bold idea. He wanted to take the Sky-sea Pavilion and the Emperor Xuan Palace into the Firmament Palace.

However, to achieve this goal was no easy target.

First of all, his strength must be powerful enough to convince the two great forces. Then these two forces must be willing to join the Firmament Palace. He couldn’t force them into it.

Therefore, there was a long way ahead to complete this goal.

Su Mo and Deputy Pavilion Leader Qian chatted away with Deputy Hall Chief Hu and others chipping in here and there.

After half an hour, a storage ring appeared in Su Mo’s hand. With a wave of his arm, the ring flew to Deputy Pavilion Leader Qian.

“Su Mo, this is?” Deputy Pavilion Leader Qian appeared confused.

“Deputy Pavilion Leader Qian, thank you for saving my life at the battle of Jade Cloud Lake!”

Su Mo rose and bowed low to Deputy Pavilion Leader Qian and Deputy Hall Chief Hu, extremely genuine. “I can never repay the debt. Inside this storage ring are some small gifts from me.”

The Sky-sea Pavilion made great efforts to help him get out last time. He must show his gratitude.

“Heheh!”

Deputy Pavilion Leader Qian shook his head and waved the storage ring back to Su Mo.

“Su Mo! Gifts are not necessary! You are one of the Sky-sea Pavilion. It’s our responsibility to protect you!” Answered Deputy Pavilion Leader Qian in a heavy voice.

Last time, the Sky-sea Pavilion lost a large number of mighty fighters. Deputy Pavilion Leader Qian felt hurt with deep regret. He felt everything was worth it now looking at Su Mo.

At this growth rate, given a few more years, Su Mo would probably rise to the peak of the Firmament World.
