Warrior’s Promise

Imposing aura came over Long Mansion like thunder.

“Are they already here?”

​ 

Long Xun lifted up his head and saw more than 10 top powers landing slowly from the sky.

Those top powers were from Sky Tyrant Clan. All of them were tall and muscular.

Two of the top powers were Rank 4 Empty Gods, and the rest of them were Rank 3 Empty Gods.

One of the Rank 4 Empty Gods was Li Shi.

Su Mo frowned when he saw them. The men from the Sky Tyrant Clan were like virus diseases to the bones and they simply would not stop.

They kept pursuing Su Mo to kill him, and that made Su Mo frustrated. After he had enhanced to the Empty God Realm, he would deal with them.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Many top powers from Long Mansion darted out of their quarters at the sudden change of events.

There were more than 100 people from the Dragon Tribe and around 10 of them were Rank 3 Empty Gods. Other than Long Xun, there was another Rank 4 Empty God.

When the top powers from Sky Tyrant Clan were above Long Mansion, Li Shi immediately spotted Su Mo and Long Xun.

“Long Xun, hand Su Mo over to us!” Li Shi shouted coldly.

“You must be kidding. Su Mo is a member of Dragon Tribe. Don’t you dare lay a finger on him!” Long Xun said contemptuously.

He was not afraid of the Sky Tyrant Clan. After all, Sky Tyrant Clan was not powerful at the First Mountain. They would not start a war with Dragon Tribe just because they wished to kill Su Mo.

“Is he a member of Dragon Tribe?”

When Li Shi heard it, he frowned. His face then darkened at the thought that Su Mo had joined Dragon Tribe.

That was a piece of bad news. Li Shi would have difficulty capturing Su Mo since he had the Dragon Tribe to protect him.

After pondering for a while, Li Shi said coldly, “Long Xun, are you out to protect Su Mo?”

“That’s right. Dragon Tribe will protect all our members!” Long Xun said firmly.

The top powers from the Dragon Tribe glanced at Su Mo. They had heard about what had happened to Su Mo but they were not aware that he had already joined Dragon Tribe.

“Long Xun, we will not let Su Mo off. If you are still so stubborn, you will have to bear the consequences!” Li Shi shouted angrily. He had to kill Su Mo.

He had to do it for Gongcheng Tai Hao and the future of Sky Tyrant Clan.

Su Mo was too talented. If Li Shi did not kill him before he advanced to the Empty God Realm, he would pose a problem to them in the future.

“Do you think that we are afraid of you?” Long Xun sneered.

“Long Xun, you should know the condition of your tribe better than me. If Sky Tyrant Tribe and Nether Tribe join forces to take you on, Dragon Tribe can forget about surviving in God’s Path!” Li Shi threatened Long Xun. Dragon Tribe and Nether Tribe were arch-enemies. If Sky Tyrant Clan and Nether Tribe joined forces to take on Dragon Tribe, they would have no problem dealing with them, even to kill the entire Dragon Tribe.

Li Shi would not want to see that happening as there would be lots of casualties as a result of it. He was merely threatening Long Xun.

If Long Xun was pressured and gave in, the matter would be resolved.

Long Xun and the rest of the top powers from Dragon Tribe looked unhappy when they heard what Li Shi had said. They were furious that he had threatened them.

However, they knew that what he had said was a fact.

Su Mo’s face darkened. Sky Tyrant Clan had gone too far. Ever since he stepped onto God’s Path, Sky Tyrant Clan had been after his life. They were even oppressing Dragon Tribe at that moment because of him.

“Li Shi, cut your crap. We will not hand Su Mo over to you. As to what will happen in the future, we will talk about that later!” Long Xun responded coldly after he had pondered for a while.

When Su Mo heard what Long Xun had said, a light glittered in his eyes. He knew that Long Xun had wavered.

Long Xun no longer mentioned that he would protect Su Mo all the way. There was a hidden meaning when he mentioned that he would talk about it later.

Su Mo knew that Long Xun would protect him this day. However, when he was at the Third Mountain where Dragon Tribe was located, the Dragon Tribe might not protect him.

Su Mo was not disappointed with Long Xun. After all, Long Xun could not represent the entire Dragon Tribe. He could not force it on them.

“Stubborn fellow!” Li Shi’s face turned pale. The top powers from the Sky Tyrant Clan looked unhappy as well.

Long Xun insisted on protecting Su Mo to the extent of putting Dragon Tribe in danger.

“Long Xun, I hope you will not regret your decision in the future!”

Li Shi said coldly after a while. He did not strike as there were many top powers from the Dragon Tribe around. It would be difficult for him to kill Su Mo.

Although they had an edge over the Dragon Tribe in terms of strength and numbers, they would not be able to capture Su Mo if Long Xun was adamant to protect him.

Most importantly, there would be a great implication if they were to start a war with the Dragon Tribe, thus Li Shi dared not make the decision.

“Let’s go!”

Li Shi shouted and turned to leave.

Long Xun and Su Mo heaved a sigh of relief.when they saw Li Shi leaving. However, Su Mo was feeling frustrated within.

All of a sudden, a sharp ray of cold light came down from the sky.

The cold light was like an arrow and it was quick. It pierced the array above Long Mansion and targeted Su Mo.

The array above Long Mansion was not a protective array. It was a simple array to prevent outsiders from checking on Long Mansion and it did not contain any defense power.

In a flash, the cold light was above Su Mo’s head.

Long Xun and the men from Dragon Tribe turned pale. They were caught off-guard and were unable to react in time.

Oh no!

Su Mo was shocked. The attack came so quickly that he was unable to fend against it or duck away and he could only tilt his head aside.

Poof!

The cold light cut across Su Mo’s ear and caused it to bleed. It then hit the ground, making a hole in it.

Su Mo touched his ear and felt a tear on it. An overbearing force was trying to get into his body but he destroyed it instantly.

He has gone overboard!

Su Mo was enraged. A sword radiance flashed across his hand and the Purple Virtual Sword appeared. Su Mo then pointed the Sword to the sky. The cold light was thrown out by a top power from Sky Tyrant Clan who was beside Li Shi.

The top power was a young man in a purple robe. His face was big and he looked oppressive.

Whoosh!

Long Xun moved in a flash and stood in front of Su Mo. He looked at the young man in a purple robe and shouted angrily, “Li Qianjue, are you challenging us?”

The young man by the name of Li Qianjue looked indifferent. He fixed his gaze on Su Mo and said flatly, “You are a nobody. Don’t think that you can stay alive just because Dragon Tribe is protecting you. When I have the opportunity, I will kill you with one blow!”

Having said that, Li Qianjue turned to fly away. The rest of the top powers from Sky Tyrant Clan did not stay on and they left together with him.

“Elder, who is he?” Su Mo asked as he looked angrily at Li Qianjue, who had flown away.

He could feel that Li Qianjue was extremely powerful.

“He is Li Qianjue, ranked number four on God’s Path’s Ten Great Saints!” Long Xun replied with a sigh. He was glad that Su Mo was quick to react, else he would have been killed by Li Qianjue.

“Ten Great Saints?” Su Mo squinted his eyes. Li Qianjue was a Rank 3 Empty God and Su Mo wondered how powerful his combat strength was.

“That’s right. His strength surpasses Wu Zuo’s. Watch out for him!” Long Xun warned Su Mo. Although Wu Zuo was a Great Saint as well, he was not listed on the Ten Great Saints. His strength was nothing compared to Li Qianjue’s.

“He shall be killed by me one of these days!” Su Mo said confidently as he put away his sword. He would kill Li Qianjue one day.

He would kill Wu Zuo as well.

“Great. I look forward to seeing this day!” Long Xun’s eyes lit up when he heard what Su Mo had said. If someone else had heard it, they would have mocked Su Mo.

Who was Li Qianjue?

He was one of the Ten Great Saints in God’s Path and he was ranked number four. Among the younger generation martial artists, other than the Ancient God Tribe, Ancient Demon Tribe, and the Great Saint from Nether Tribe, no one could defeat Li Qianjue.

Even the most powerful person from Ancient God Tribe, who was well-known, could only suppress Li Qianjue but he was unable to kill him.

However, Long Xun believed that Su Mo had the ability to do so. He trusted Su Mo completely.

“I will bring Su Mo to the Third Mountain. The rest of you shall guard over the mansion!”

After Long Xun had passed down some instructions to the top powers of Dragon Tribe, he brought Su Mo along with him to the Third Mountain.

News that Su Mo had fought with Wu Zuo and the two Rank 3 Empty Gods from Sky Tyrant Clan spread quickly on the First Mountain.

Suddenly, Su Mo became famous on the First Mountain.
