Warrior’s Promise

“Okay. Bring it!” Said Huangfu Qing.

Su Mo thought for a moment before speaking, “First, where is Hong Qingxuan, the lady captured by you from the Emperor Xuan Palace?”

“I dont know where she is.” Huangfu Qing shook his head.

“You don’t know? Don’t you play games with me!” Su Mo’s face turned cold. He couldn’t believe Huangfu Qing’s words. As a senior member of the Netherworld Devil Sect, how could he not know Hong Qingxuan’s whereabouts?

“I’m not lying. That woman has an extremely rare Pure Yin Body. As soon as the young master brought her back to the sect, our master took her away,” explained Huangfu Qing.

“The master of the Netherworld Devil Sect took her away?” Su Mo’s face turned pale as his heart sank.

If the master of the Netherworld Devil Sect took interest in Qingxuan’s special body constitutions, she might be harmed already.

“Netherworld Devil Sect!” Su Mo clenched his fists, a killing desire firing out of his eyes.

“What happened after? No news about Qingxuan at all?” Asked Su Mo, his face appeared ill.

“Nope. She has vanished ever since,” answered Huangfu Qing.

“What?” Su Mo could no longer suppress his murderous intent. His intense killing desire froze the space in the palace instantly.

After a dozen breaths, Su Mo finally calmed his murderous intent down.

He strongly wanted to visit the Netherworld Devil Sect and wipe it out from this world.

However, it was not time for this.

“How many members of the Netherworld Devil Sect are at Lv 9 Martial Royal Realm or higher?”

Su Mo asked his second question. Since he couldn’t get details about Hong Qingxuan’s capture, he needed to figure out the ins and outs of the Netherworld Devil Sect so he could destroy it in the future.

“There are five. Four hall masters and our First Elder,” replied Huangfu Qing.

“Be honest with me. I’ve done my homework. The Netherworld Devil Sect has more than five members at Lv 9 Martial Royal Realm and at least one Emperor-to-be.” Su Mo’s smile was cold and grim.

“I don’t know the answer then. I’m just a low-rank disciple of the Netherworld Devil Sect.” Huangfu Qing shook his head.

Su Mo’s brows were knitted. This Huangfu Qing had a tight mouth. It wasn’t easy to get anything useful out of him.

He asked a few more questions but Huangfu Qing’s answers were rather pointless. Su Mo stopped.

He didn’t torture Huangfu Qing. Things that he couldn’t say wouldn’t be told no matter what.

“Su Mo, you have promised to let me go. I hope you will keep your words.”

Huangfu Qing asked in a heavy voice when Su Mo stopped questioning.

“Of course!”

Su Mo nodded. Suddenly he pointed out one finger and a sharp cold light was fired out towards Huangfu Qing’s lower abdomen.

This cold beam was a Spiritual Sword. Within such a short distance, the quick movement left Huangfu Qing no time to respond.

Pfft!

The Spiritual Sword pierced through Huangfu Qing’s lower abdomen, along with his elixir field and the divine elixir inside.

“Ah… You evil monster!” Huangfu Qing cried out with pain, his face pale and voice angry.

His Dark Force leaked out frantically as if a dam with an open gate.

Once his divine elixir broke, Huangfu Qing’s cultivation was gone.

“From now on, live as an ordinary man!”

Su Mo looked cold without any emotion. He grabbed Huangfu Qing and flew out of the palace.

In the end, Su Mo opened the passage to the outside world and threw him in.

After dealing with Huangfu Qing, Su Mo returned to his residence and continued to practice.

He needed to reach Lv 2 Martial Royal Realm or an even higher level as soon as possible to confront the Netherworld Devil Sect.

However, ever since his cultivation reached the Martial Royal Realm, Su Mo had noticed that his progress slowed down considerably. It would take a long time just to refine his Dark Force.

Because his Dark Force had become too thick and deep, refinement would be very time consuming.

He didn’t practice long before he called Gold One in.

He wanted to learn about good places to train inside the Firmament Palace.

Indeed there were great places for him to practice.

There was a Thick Earth Pavilion inside the Earth Palace.

Different from the Firescorching Palace’s Sky-burn Tower, this Thick Earth Pavilion didn’t have any special power. It was simply a place to train.

The Thick Earth Pavilion had 13 floors with different gravity. To be simple, this Thick Earth Pavilion could be considered as a large Gravitational Cultivation Room.

On the first floor of the Thick Earth Pavilion, the gravity was one hundred times stronger than normal. On the second floor, 200 times. And so forth. Every floor up had doubled gravity.

At the top floor, the gravity would be 409,600 times more than normal.

Even in ancient times, not many disciples of the Firmament Palace made it up to the top floor.

Because even a high-ranking martial emperor might be crushed by the force on the top floor.

At present, the Earth Palace had no heir nor disciples.

Su Mo arrived at the peaceful Thick Earth Pavilion, an antique, simple, and average-looking tower.

Once he entered, his body sank suddenly. He could feel the intense gravity.

“Excellent!” Su Mo nodded, quite satisfied.

When he was in the Hong Domain, he once trained in a Gravitational Cultivation Room, which was way worse than this Thick Earth Pavilion.

The gravity was strong on the first floor but Su Mo didn’t stop. He went up the stairs of the tower.

Level two, 200 times gravity!

Level three, 400 times gravity!

Level four, 800 times gravity!

Level nine, 25,600 times gravity!

Su Mo went straight up to the ninth floor to experience the over 25,000 times of the gravity.

On the ninth floor, Su Mo could barely stand straight, his bones cracking all over. He felt dozens of mountains on his back.

“Almost there!”

Su Mo stayed on the ninth floor and sat down slowly cross-legged to practice.

He didn’t reach his limit. He could probably make it to the 10th floor but he didn’t.

He didn’t come here to suffer. He wanted to refine his Dark Force better. The gravity on the ninth floor was enough.

…

Outside Heaven-sea City.

Plump!

A beam of light flashed in the void and a figure suddenly appeared. It fell hard down to the ground.

The figure was Huangfu Qing, who had been thrown out of the Firmament Palace by Su Mo.

A moment later, Huangfu Qing stood up slowly, staring at the disappeared passage. His eyes were filled with coldness.

After a while, Huangfu Qing sneered grimly and said to himself, “Su Mo, you’ll regret for sparing my life this time!”

Then, Huangfu Qing stamped on the ground, his body rising up high into the sky and then flying away rapidly.

Right! Huangfu Qing could still fly. Under his skin there were threads of golden Qi Force flowing.

Obviously, Huangfu Qing was also a Body-refining Expert who had cultivated Qi Force.

The cultivation skill he had been practicing was same with Su Mo’s, the Archean Dragonesque Elephant Skill.
