Warrior’s Promise

“Su Mo, you will soon be my son-in-law and I will naturally help you, but this matter needs to be carefully discussed,” said Di Shi without hesitation as he expressed his willingness to help deal with the Netherworld Devil Sect.

This surprised Su Mo as just his future father-in-law was enough.

Previously Di Shi had said this needed further thought, but upon being promised an Imperial cultivation skill, Di Shi immediately agreed.

“Palace Master Su Mo, to tell you the truth, I am very eager to obtain a Medium Imperial cultivation skill, so I am willing to help you!” Hai Mingjiang had made up his mind after Di Shi had spoken.

Compared to Di Shi, Hai Mingjiang was more open-minded and was very straightforward in stating that he wanted a Medium Imperial cultivation skill.

“With the two of you, big things can be expected to happen!”

Su Mo smiled and continued, “Once the Netherworld Devil Sect has been destroyed, I’ll reward you with an Upper Imperial cultivation skill.”

Di Shi and Hai Mingjiang nodded upon hearing this.

Hai Mingjiang immediately spoke up, “Palace Master, we must plan our next steps carefully in order to confront the Netherworld Devil Sect. We can’t afford to be reckless!”

“That is the nature of things and we can discuss this further after the wedding,” said Su Mo.

After that, Su Mo talked with the two men for a little longer and inquired about the latest trends of Firmament World’s major forces.

In the end, he decided to send them to their accommodations so that everyone could rest.

There were still two more days before the wedding and instead of going to train, Su Mo went to Watermoon Palace.

Xi’er had already come out of seclusion and had obtained the Legacy passed down by Shuiyue the Great. Her temperament seemed to have changed slightly.

It’s hard to describe this temperament as Xi’er seemed much more clever and alert than she was previously.

“Xi’er, only two more days until our wedding!”

Su Mo and Xi’er sat outside the steps of Watermoon Palace. Su Mo was holding the hands of Xi’er and was shocked at how soft her hands were.

“I’ve been waiting for this moment for a long time, Brother Su Mo,” whispered Xi’er. Her face was completely red.

“Oh! Do you remember when we first met,” said Su Mo with a smile.

“He never would have thought that the small favor he did back then would have turned out to be the event in which he saved his future wife!”

“Of course, I remember!”

Xi’er leaned on Su Mo’s shoulder and whispered, “Back then, I was just an ordinary person who did not practice martial arts…”

Xi’er was caught up in the memories of the past and began whispering things from back then.

Su Mo listened quietly as he could feel her feelings just from her words.

Finally, both of them stopped talking and just sat quietly while snuggling up to each other, enjoying each other’s presence.

After being accompanied by Xi’er the whole day, Su Mo returned to the Divine Map to visit the cave that Qian Xunyue was in.

Qian Xunyue showed no signs of change and was still lying quietly in the Dark Sky Spiritual Coffin.

Su Mo checked for any sign of improvement in her, aura but found none.

Su Mo looked at Qian Xunyue and whispered, “I’m going to be married.”

He didn’t know why he came here, but he felt it necessary to tell Qian Xunyue.

In addition to feeling sad about Qian Xunyue’s situation, he also felt guilt.

“But rest assured, if there is a way to save you, I will do so!”

“I just hope that you can hold on until that opportunity comes.”

“I took your innocence before, but I did it to save you!”

“…”

Su Mo seemed to be unconsciously saying one thing after another and after a long time had passed, left the cave.

Su Mo did not notice that after he left, Qian Xunyue’s eyes grew slightly moist.

…

The day of Su Mo’s wedding was finally here.

It was early morning at Firmament Palace and everyone was bristling with excitement. The disciples of Firmament Palace ended their cultivation early and came to the wedding of Palace Master Su Mo.

Sikong Yan, Wenren Tiandu, Jiang Fengran, and other descendants ended their seclusions and came to the wedding as well.

A tall platform had been set up in White Jade Square and a large circular viewing platform had been erected in order to seat the thousands of guest.

The ritual table was very large and had a big tripod in front and two luxurious seats in the rear.

The pair in the seats were Su Hong and DI Shi, the two leading actors in the wedding.

Su Mo and Xi ‘er have not appeared yet, and the wedding is presided over by Gold One and several other puppets.

“The Xuan Sect master is here!”

Accompanied by a loud shout, a large group of Xuan Sect experts came to Firmament Palace.

The leader of the Xuan Sect was also its patriarch, Sect Master Jiu Chubei.

The water curtain formation of Firmament Palace opened into a wide channel with Stone One and Fire One leading hundreds of disciples to greet the guests at the entrance of the channel.

“The Warlord Hall master is here!”

“The family head of the Dugus!”

“The Sky-fire Sect Leader!”

“…..”

After the arrival of the Xuan Sect, many other super powers such as Warlord Hall, Perdition Swordplay Sect, and others appeared in succession.

In fact, many forces had already arrived ahead of the wedding and took refuge in the city of Tongyang, a city not far away.

One must keep in mind that the gates of Firmament Palace were floating outside the city of Tongyang and the city, as a result, had prospered greatly during this event.

Countless martial artists have come to Tongyang City and it was filled to the brim.

There were quite a few martial artists that were waiting in Firmament Palace for their disciples because they didn’t want to wait to enter.

Many groups came in one by one and were guided to the viewing platform by Gold One and the others.

Every arriving group brought a gift and gave it to Gold One and the others.

Hundreds of groups arrived before noon in order to attend the wedding of Su Mo.

Many of these groups were famous throughout the Firmament World as those with less status were not allowed to enter Firmament Palace.

White Jade Square was filled with many voices as everyone was talking in excitement.

Su Mo still had yet to make an appearance.

Su Mo was currently looking out one of the windows in one of the Earth’s Palace towers.

He was wearing a red robe and a crown that was both imposing and extraordinary.

“The Beitangs, Yins, and Yin-yang Palace!” whispered Su Mo as he looked out into White Jade Square.

With the obvious exception of Netherworld Devil Sect, only these three forces out of the whole Firmament World didn’t send anyone to the wedding.

The Beitangs and Yins were cooperating with the Netherworld Devil Sect so them not showing up was not a surprise.

Now Yin-yang Palace was added to their number!

Although Yin-yang Palace was not one of the major nine forces of the world, their power was not very far off from the Sky-sea Pavilion.

It was not too long ago that Hong Qingxuan was being auctioned off at an auction house owned by Yin-yang Palace.

What surprised Su Mo the most was the presence of the Dugus!

The Dugus and he had some hatred for each other and, according to Hai Mingjiang, had made contact with the Netherworld Devil Sect.

Su Mo had thought that since the Dugus and Netherworld Devil Sect were working together, they would not attend his wedding.

Of course, them showing up did not mean that they were not cooperating with the Netherworld Devil Sect.

Su Mo then took note of the time and knew that nearly everyone that was coming had arrived. He left the tower of Earth Palace and walked toward White Jade Square.
