Warrior’s Promise

Silver Ice City fell silent. Beside the heap of corpses of the floor were groups of stunned Dark Ice Tribesmen and Silver Ice City men.

Everyone was absolutely dumbstruck.

All of them were experts who had seen many events in their lifetime but they had never witnessed such a form of massacre.

Without any form of resistance, close to a thousand Martial Sages and ten Empty Gods fell to the floor like helpless sheep, stained in fresh red blood.

A few moments later, many turned their heads and allowed their gazes to fall upon Su Mo. Pure fear was hidden in the pupils of their eyes.

The man was a devil!

A cold-blooded devil!

Even Bing Yue and Bing Yan stared at Su Mo in surprise although their hearts were shivering in fear.

Bing Yan’s delicate figure shook slightly, showing evidence of the fear in her.

Shoosh!

At that moment, Su Mo flew towards Bing Yan and Bing Yue like a gust of wind.

Instantly, Bing Yue and Bing Yan started to become nervous and their faces hardened in fear.

“You may take the spoils from the massacre. However, give me all the Dawn Stones!”

Su Mo slowed himself as he arrived in front of the two and calmly said.

“Absolutely! Sure!” Bing Yue quickly nodded his head. Su Mo displayed the toughness and power of a man that was far superior to even the Dark Ice Tribe Leader!

“Mm! Give it all to me in an hour!”

Su Mo instructed as he nodded his head before flying towards a guest house not far away. This was the guest house that he stayed at previously.

As everyone stared at Su Mo’s back, they were silent and it was a long time until anyone regained their senses.

“All tribesmen, clear the place and count our spoils!” Bing Yue took in a long sigh as he instructed.

Slowly, the Dark Ice Tribesmen regained their senses and obeyed the instructions of Bing Yue.

“Yan’er, it is all thanks to you that our tribe is still safe!”

Bing Yue sighed as he stared with a dark face at Bing Yan. If not for Bing Yan, who had agreed to Su Mo’s proposal, the outcome of the confrontation would have been unthinkable.

“Father, this is nothing!”

Bing Yan nodded her head slightly as her face quavered, “Su Mo is a devil. If he continues to remain in Silver Ice City, it will be to the detriment of the city!”

“Indeed!” Bing Yue nodded his head. Su Mo had robbed the leaders of almost a dozen other cities. Once the news spread, many of his enemies would be attracted to their location.

However, neither Bing Yue nor Bing Yan dared to go against Su Mo.

If Su Mo left, they weren’t sure whether the other cities would blame them for the calamity.

This placed Bing Yue in a tight spot. It didn’t matter whether Su Mo left or not, Silver Ice City was in danger.

“Yan’er, go and investigate him later on!” A long while later, Bing Yue instructed under his breath.

“Me?” Bing Yan instantly started to get nervous. She didn’t have the guts to face Su Mo alone.

“That’s right. Yan’er, you are pretty and innocent, it is easier for you to get close to him!” Bing Yue nodded his head. If he confronted Su Mo by himself, it would be hard for him to get any information.

However, Bing Yan was different. She had a naturally innocent face.

“Alright!” Bing Yan nodded. She could only step into the tiger’s den for the safety of Silver Ice City.

…

Once Su Mo had returned to his room in the guest house, he sat cross-legged on the futon and begun to refine the wood based Origin Energy.

Time flowed by slowly, after an hour, low sounds of footsteps echoed from his door.

“Come in!” Su Mo opened his eyes slowly and lightly called.

The door was pushed open as Bing Yan edged her way in and carefully sat in front of Su Mo.

“Su… Su Mo, these are the Dawn Stones!” Bing Yan sighed heavily as her brilliant eyes stared at Su Mo and she handed a storage ring over to him.

“Mm!” Su Mo nodded before he grabbed the storage ring and checked through it with a mental thought.

“About six hundred!” Su Mo exclaimed in surprise as he surveyed the Dawn Stones in the storage ring. Aside from the heap of Spiritual Crystals in the storage ring, there were about six hundred Dawn Stones.

He had only obtained about three thousand Dawn Stones after robbing from the leaders of ten cities.

“Mm. Some of the items in the storage ring is our spoils and some are the Dawn Stones from the Dark Ice Tribe!” Bing Yan answered.

“Not bad!” Su Mo was highly pleased. Among the six hundred Dawn Stones, there were five Fire Dawn Stones.

In addition to the previous eighteen Fire Dawn Stones, he had twenty-three Fire Dawn Stones, which were the least of his lot.

It seemed that there weren’t a lot of Fire Dawn Stones on the Second Mountain.

With that, Su Mo took the storage ring with a heavy expression.

“That… Su Mo, the fact that you are the Demon Shadow has been exposed. You will attract a lot of attention from the other cities!” Bing Yan hurriedly asked as she observed Su Mo putting away the storage ring. She wanted to find out what Su Mo’s plans were.

“It is alright!”

Su Mo calmly shook his head. There weren’t any Rank 3 Empty Gods within a few hundred kilometers of him.

Anyone who confronted him would be seeking their own deaths.

A bright light flashed through Bing Yan’s eyes, it seemed that Su Mo wasn’t ready to leave Silver Ice City yet.

In actual fact, Bing Yan knew that it would be beneficial to Silver Ice City if Su Mo didn’t leave the place.

After all. If Su Mo left and the experts of the other cities arrived, Silver Ice City would once again be in danger.

“Su Mo, there are many eyes in the guest house. If you need to cultivate, why not head over to the Dark Ice Mansion!” The soft lips of Bing Yan moved as she suggested. If Su Mo agreed to her suggestion, he wouldn’t be leaving any time soon.

Su Mo was silent after hearing Bing Yan’s words but he waved his hand dismissively and said, “Head back first! We will talk about it another day!”

He had rejected Bing Yan since he knew he could not stay at the same place for long.

“Oh!”

Bing Yan lightly acknowledged without conversing much. Then, she cupped her fists together and left the room.

“Phew!”

Once she left the room and closed the door, Bing Yan let out a long sigh.

She had been very nervous, an invisible force crushing her as she faced Su Mo alone.

Although Su Mo was very calm, she had just witnessed Su Mo’s killing spree and she couldn’t help her heart from beating with nervousness.

In the room.

After Bing Yan left, Su Mo reentered the Spatial Device and continued refining the Wood Origin Energy.

He would not leave Silver Ice City temporarily because he felt that Silver Ice City might be useful for him.

Second Mountain was very big and the other nine mountains of God’s Path would probably be very big as well. Finding Xi’er would not be easy.

As such, he could lend some help from Silver Ice City wherever convenient in the near future.

However, he had to consider his recovery status.

Time passed by slowly and hours after hours ticked by.

After three hours, the Wood based energy inside the Wood Dawn Stones were sapped and only a small thread of Wood Origin Energy was left.

“It still isn’t pure enough!” Su Mo sighed. However, with his current abilities, this was the maximum he could refine the energy.

With that, Su Mo temporarily stored this Origin Energy into his Elixir Field before he began to absorb the energy from the Fire Dawn Stones.

In the following day, Su Mo absorbed the energy from the fire, water, ground and metal Dawn Stones, turning them into a thread of Origin Energy.

These five types of Origin Energy floated in separate corners of his Elixir Field.

“Whether or not I will succeed comes down to this move!”

Su Mo sighed deeply before he began to merge the five threads of Origin Energy into Chaotic Energy.
