Warrior’s Promise

There were about 1,200 Scorching Sun Sect disciples, as many as there were Gale Island disciples. They all wore long red robes and stood in a bright sea of flaming crimson.

As soon as they reached the valley, all the Scorching Sun Sect disciples glared towards the Gale Island disciples with a chilling look.

“Hahaha!!” The leader of the four Scorching Sun Sect elders, a tall man, laughed at the Seventh Elder.

“So the Seventh Elder is leading the Gale Island group. I hope some of your disciples will come back this time, I’d hate for them all to die!” the tall elder said with a disdainful smile, his words full of threatening mockery.

“Humf!”

The Seventh Elder scoffed and said coldly, “Zhu Lixing, you are the one who should be worried about your disciples. If you lose too many, how do you plan to explain it to the sect?”

The Seventh Elder of Gale Island did not back down but retorted.

Coincidentally, the leading elder of the Scorching Sect group was Zhu Lixing, who was also ranked seven among the inner elders.

When Zhu Lixing heard the Seventh Elder’s words, his eyes glinted eerily and he said with a cold laugh, “Let’s wait for the real battles to talk about losses! I hope you can still laugh then!”

The Seventh Elder could not help but frown at the sight of Zhu Lixing’s confident expression.

The eerie glint in Zhu Lixing’s eyes unsettled him, but after some thought, he didn’t think that anything was wrong.

Shaking his head, the Seventh Elder dismissed his worries. He was still very confident in his Inner Gate disciples.

He was especially confident in the first talent of the Inner Gate, Yin Lige, who was incredibly powerful and could even contend with a martial artist at Lv 1 True Spirit Realm, and could barely be equaled by one or two of such contenders. Essentially, no one in the Spiritual Martial Realm could defeat him!

Yin Lige was already an invincible Martial Master in the Spiritual Martial Realm!

Even if disciples of the Scorching Sun Sect had a similar strength as Yin Linge, they could only tie with him and could not defeat him.

Suddenly, a tall, stocky and flat-faced young man stepped out from the Scorching Sun Sect disciples.

He had a giant war saber on his back, which was an outrageous two meters long. The tip of the saber dragged a long mark on the ground as he walked.

“Yin Lige, let’s see who’s better in the Qinghua Rift!” the stock young man stared at Yin Lige and said quietly.

Yin Lige chuckled and disdainfully said, “Chu Yan, you were no match for me six months ago, and you’re still no match for me now!”

“Really?” Chu Yan laughed coldly and said with a sneer, “You only beat me with one move last time. I will wipe the floor with you in this trial test!”

Chu Yan and Yan Linge had met six months ago. Since they were both number one in the Inner Gate of their sects, they naturally butted heads.

That time, the two had exchanged over 1,000 moves before Chu Yan lost by only a single move!

This had bothered Chu Yan to no end. He was peerless in the Scorching Sun Sect’s Inner Gate, so he was furious that he had lost to a disciple of the same level from Gale Island. He swore to erase his shame.

This Qinghua Rift trial test was his chance to erase that shame!

“I’ll be waiting!” Yin Lige said with a smile.

Yin Lige always had a smile on his face, as if he was not impressed or bothered by anyone or anything.

In his heart was unbeatable confidence.

Out of all the Inner Disciples of the four sects, there was only one person in the Sky Rapier Sect which he paid attention to.

Everyone was waiting.

Three sects had arrived, and it was only the Sky Rapier Sect disciples that had not arrived.

After an hour, everyone’s attention was drawn to a giant sword shooting through the sky with a piercing roar.

It was a giant green sword that was extremely broad and was hundreds of meters long.

Hundreds of young men stood on the great green sword.

Su Mo was shocked. Such a gigantic sword must have exceptional powers.

“The Sky Alliance is here!” someone cried out in alarm.

The giant sword paused over the valley, and hundreds of the Sky Rapier Sect disciples armed with swords suddenly descended into the valley.

Then, the giant sword flashed and disappeared without a trace.

There were only a little over 400 Sky Rapier Sect disciples, much less than the other three sects.

However, they were obviously more exceptional than the disciples of the other three sects.

Every Sky Rapier Sect disciple was surrounded by shapeless and menacing sword Qi.

As soon as the Sky Rapier Sect entered the valley, the attention of Qin Qianyue of the Sky Yuan Sect, Chu Yan of the Scorching Sun Sect, and Yin Lige all had their attention set on one youth.

He was a very thin but steady-footed young man, with an angular face as sharp as a billhook.

He was the number one expert of the Sky Rapier Sect’s Inner Gate, Jian Wuyou!

Even Yin Lige, who was extremely confident, still regarded Jian Wuyou as his only serious opponent in the four sects.

There was only one elder, a cold middle-aged man, leading the Sky Rapier Sect group.

The middle-aged man saw that the disciples of the other three sects were all present, and he said, “Since everyone’s here. Let’s not waste any more time. Let’s open Qinghua Rift!”

“Alright, let’s begin!” answered the Seventh Elder, Zhu Lixing with the Sixth Elder of the Sky Yuan Sect.

After that, the four elders flew over to a space under a cliff in the valley.

The four elders’ hands were covered with intricate runes. Under the excited gazes of thousands, the air above the cliff contorted with a rumbling noise, and a shining white door framed by blinding light slowly appeared.

Su Mo was shocked to find that Qinghua Rift was hiding behind these cliffs.

This was only was an independent and small world which was not only connected to the Firmament and Continent, but existed as a part of its world.

“Now, the door to Qinghua Rift is open. All of you enter, quickly!” The Seventh Elder yelled to the Gale Island disciples before adding, “However, don’t forget that Qinghua Trial Test only lasts for 10 days. After 10 days, you must gather in White Jade Square in the center of the cave in order to leave Qinghua Rift together. Otherwise, you must remain there for a year and can leave only when the door next opens. Unfortunately, there are many Lv 3 Demonic Beasts in Qinghua Rift, so a year will be hell for you!”

“Yes, elder!”

The thousands of Gale Island heard these words and then used their body movements, one after another, to swiftly enter through the bright door.

The disciples of the other three sects also entered the door under their elders’ instructions.

“Ling Muchen, let’s go too!” Su Mo said to Ling Muchen, then entered and lept through the door with his body movements.

Yin Lige had been paying attention to Su Mo the whole time. He waited for Su Mo to enter Qinghua Rift before going in with a smile.
