Warrior’s Promise

In their room, Su Mo, Nie Gan, and Han Ying sat opposite one another around a table.

“The two of you know that my visit to the Heavenly Underworld Star is to save a friend, and this friend has been captured by Wu Tian Yu from the Sorcerer Tribe. According to my intel, Wu Tian Yu lives in Black Glow City.”

Su Mo began slowly, looking across the table at his two companions.

“What Cultivation does Wu Tian Yu have?” asked Nie Gan quietly.

“His Cultivation is not that strong; one year ago he possessed Emperor-to-be Cultivation. Now, if I think about it, he might have reached Rank 1 Martial Emperor Realm,” said Su Mo.

“It’s good that their Cultivation is not high!” Nie Gan breathed a sigh of relief.

“Yes, now our primary task is to find the location of Black Glow City. It is not difficult to do this. Just ask anyone and we will know!”

Su Mo’s expression turned slightly grave and he continued, “After which, we must find out more about the situation of the Heavenly Underworld Star Sorcerer Tribe. Then, finally, we can set off to the Black Glow City!”

Nie Gan and Han Ying nodded upon hearing this. Su Mo was indeed very reliable.

“There’s no time lose, let’s start searching now!” Han Ying exclaimed.

“Ok!”

Su Mo nodded, adding, “In order to avoid causing trouble in the future, you both have to change your appearances a little.”

“Ok!” The two of them agreed again. They were also worried about getting into trouble.

Changing appearances was a simple task for Martial Emperor Realm warriors. In the blink of an eye, their features squirmed and their faces completely changed.

Nie Gan’s face had become slightly wider, while Han Ying’s originally beautiful face morphed into one that was ordinary, even slightly ugly.

The three concluded their discussion and left the room, splitting up to obtain information.

Su Mo proceeded towards the lobby of the inn and ordered a few dishes of food and drinks. While he drank, he listened to the chit-chat of Human Tribe warriors and Sorcerer Tribe warriors in the lobby.

In the meantime, Nie Gan and Han Ying both left the inn and went out into the town to investigate.

Back in the lobby, Su Mo overheard a wealth of useful information. Nearly two hours later, Nie Gan and Han Ying returned.

The group then returned to their room and exchanged the details of their respective investigations.

According to all of their intel, the Sorcerer Tribe was a descendant of the Heavenly Underworld Star, made up of three thousand million tribe members.

Among these many members, more than half lived in Heavenly Underworld City as well as Nine Guards City. Meanwhile the rest lived in other cities, such as Wu Hua City.

If one were to assemble all of the descendants of the Sorcerer Tribe of Heavenly Underworld Star living in both Heavenly Underworld City and Nine Guards City, more than 90% of them would be Peak Elites.

The trio also discovered the location of Black Glow City, which is one of the cities of Nine Guard City.

However, according to their investigations, Heavenly Underworld City and Nine Guard City were specifically designated for the descendants of the Heavenly Underworld Sorcerer Tribe. Only the tribesmen were allowed to reside there.

In other words, among the ten cities, except for the slaves and guests of the Sorcerer Tribe, the Human tribe and other tribes were not allowed to live there.

This left Su Mo and his two friends in a difficult situation.

“Brother Su, being a city of the Nine Guard City, Black Glow City does not allow outsiders to live here. You need to have a valid reason to enter the city and you also have to go through a strict interrogation process. What should we do?” Nie Gan asked, frowning. They all understood how difficult it would now be to enter the city.

“The other problem is that the city is full of Sorcerer Tribesmen. Even if we go in, we stand a slim chance of survival!” Han Ying sighed.

Upon hearing this, Su Mo fell silent. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. “There is only one way,” he exclaimed.

“What way?” Nie Gan and Han Ying asked in unison.

“P-O-S-S-E-S-S-I-O-N!” Su Mo spelled out. Possession, it seemed to him, was the only solution. Aside from this, he could not think of any other way.

Nie Gan and Han Ying’s eyes also lit up. It was indeed a good idea.

However, possession would have a devastating impact on their own power.

Those with high cultivation would be unable to carry out possession, whereas those with low cultivation would experience a huge drop in their power.

Moreover, even if the cultivation level of the person carrying out possession was high, the Fighting Spirit and the new physical body would require a long time to cooperate with one another. In a short span of time, the peak of the Fighting Power could not be expressed.

“Brother Su, possession is indeed a good idea. However, there are huge risks involved. Do you want to consider it again?” Han Ying remarked, wearing a grave expression.

“There is no other way!” Su Mo shook his head, his expression equally grave. He had never performed possession on others before, and he knew that he did not have much of a foundation.

However, in his view, possession was in fact safer.

At the very least, the chances of his identity being revealed were far lower.

“Then how are we going to choose the person on whom we are going to enact possession?” Nie Gan asked. This was a crucial point as it involved their identity, particularly with the Sorcerer’s Tribe in the future.

“No! You don’t have to. I can get into the Black Glow City alone!” Su Mo shook his head. It was too dangerous to go to Black Glow City and he would not let the two of them enter with him.

“How can you do this? It is too dangerous for you to enter the city alone. Once you are exposed, there is no doubt you will die!” Nie Gan said seriously.

“If I do get exposed and the two of you go in as well, you would be courting your own deaths!”

Su Mo sighed and continued, “Meet me outside the the city, then. We can take care of each other!”

” This …” The two began to argue.

“Ok, it’s settled!” Su Mo did not allow the two to dissent, he had already decided on this.

Later, the three of them thoroughly discussed their possession plan and soon departed from the inn towards Black Glow City.

Heavenly Underworld Star was extremely big, and Black Glow City was ten million miles away Wuhua City.

The three set off quickly. After a few days, they were finally a few ten thousand miles away from Black Glow City.

On the top of a green hill, the three of them stood tall.

Su Mo shot a dim ray of light from his eyes, pushing the Ghostly Magic Sight Martial Soul to its limits, and looked into the distance.

Thirty thousand miles before him were ten black, massive cities.

In the middle of these enormous cities was the main city. It was the most magnificent, tall, and endless city compared to all others.

As for the other nine cities, they were scattered all around, guarding the main one at their center.

This was the Heavenly Underworld City and the Nine Guard City, and the Black Glow City was located within them.

“Brother Nie, Sister Han, Black Glow City is just in front!”

Su Mo remarked silently, the dim light in his eyes slowly diminishing.

“Brother Su, I didn’t realize that you had cultivated the Sight skill, how outstanding!” Nie Han commented with surprise. He thought that Su Mo was using the Sight skill.

Su Mo laughed lightly and did not explain further.Although his eye power was getting stronger, the increase was due to his rise in cultivation. The effect of the Ghostly Magic Sight Martial Soul was still greatly reduced.

There was no other way. The rank of this Fighting Soul was too low, and had gradually become unusable.

In Su Mo’s heart, even if he had once thought of cultivating the Ghostly Magic Sight Martial Soul to its full potential, he had since given up on that idea.

Fighting Souls with ranks that were too low were unusable, even if they had undergone cultivation to become Fighting Souls.

“There are so many strong warriors!” Han Ying listened for a moment, her voice trembling slightly.

She could hear within ten thousand miles of the ten cities, and there were multiple terrifying atmosphere fluctuations.

Some of these fluctuations were so strong that her heart pounded in fear, so much so that she almost dared not to listen.
