Warrior’s Promise

Su Mo left Sky One Number One Fighting Ground and changed his looks. He then started to shop around the city.

15 minutes later, he sold his Taiyun Divine Sword for 60,000 Lower-grade Dawn Stones.

He had sold the sword off as he would not be able to use it in the future for fear of being found out.

He bought another Lower-grade Divine Sword and its quality and power were superior to the Taiyun Divine Sword.

Soon, Su Mo left Sky One Empty World without attracting any attention.

He walked out of the Stone Tablet and was back to Eighth Citadel.

The Stone Tablet was bustling with people and no one took notice of Su Mo.

Su Mo did not linger and he was ready to leave Eighth Citadel.

However, when he reached the city gate, he met Qin’er, Chu Yan, Ji Yuesong, and Luo Yu.

“Duan Jingtian, why are you here?”

Qin’er called out to Su Mo as she was quick to notice him.

Chu Yan, Luo Yu, and Ji Yuesong turned to look at Su Mo when they heard Qin’er calling out to Su Mo.

“Hoho! I happened to pass by this place and thought of getting a weapon!” Su Mo smiled and walked up to Qin’er.

“Have you been in Sky One Empty World? We saw a powerful genius there!” Qin’er asked.

“Oh? Who was he?” Su Mo asked, pretending to look surprised.

“This guy calls himself Invincible Leng. He is a Rank 1 Lower True God and he has great combat strength! However, no one knows his true identity!” Qin’er said with a sigh.

“Was he that powerful? It’s a pity that I won’t have an opportunity to spar with him!” Su Mo said as he shook his head.

“Forget it!”

Chu Yan sneered, “Duan Jingtian, although you have entered level 18 at the Lava Cave, you are only a Rank 1 Lower True God. With your strength, you can forget about sparring with him. You are not even fit to carry his shoes for him!”

Chu Yan was unhappy and he was in a foul mood. When he saw Duan Jingtian, he vented his anger on him.

He knew that Duan Jingtian possessed great combat strength. He had strong defensive power which had allowed him to enter level 18 at the Lava Cave. However, he was still inferior to Invincible Leng.

“Oh? Did Brother Chu Yan spar with him?” Su Mo asked curiously and ignored Chu Yan’s derisive comment.

“I…!”

Chu Yan was dumbstruck and his face darkened. He took a deep breath and replied, “I sparred with him, but he is slightly more powerful than me!”

When Su Mo heard Chu Yan’s reply, he was secretly laughing to himself. Chu Yan was shameless. He did not even have the strength to resist him but he had commented that Su Mo was only slightly more powerful than him.

“You are amazing!” Su Mo said, nodding. He looked at Qin’er and asked, “Miss Qin’er, are you returning to Human Palace?”

“Yes. What about you?” Qin’er asked.

“I will shop around. I will be back in a few days!” Su Mo replied.

“Qin’er, let’s go!”

Ji Yuesong urged Qin’er. He ignored Su Mo and walked out of the city.

Chu Yan did not say another word and he followed Ji Yuesong out of the city.

“Duan Jingtian, I suggest that you stay away from Qin’er. If you don’t take my advice, you will soon be out of Human Palace!”

Luo Yu said coldly and pulled Qin’er along with her.

“This…!”

Qin’er was speechless. She gave Su Mo an apologetic look and left with Luo Yu.

“Sister Luo Yu, why must you be mean to Duan Jingtian?” Qin’er asked Luo Yu after they had caught up with Ji Yuesong and Chu Yan.

“Qin’er, you are of special status and it is inappropriate for you to get too close to an outsider. Moreover, Duan Jingtian is not fit to be with you!” Luo Yu warned Qin’er.

“We are from the sect!” Qin’er said wryly.

‘You are too naïve. You have to be wary of him!” Luo Yu said.

When Qin’er heard what Luo Yu had said, she simply shook her head. She had no wish to argue with Luo Yu.

Shortly, the four of them shot up to the sky and headed for Human Palace.

Su Mo stood far away and watched them depart before he left Eighth Citadel.

He did not head back to Human Palace but he went the other way.

Di Yihun is bound to know about the incident today! Su Mo muttered to himself as he flew in the sky. Although he had not revealed much of his strength, Di Yihun was bound to hear about him.

Su Mo knew that Di Yihun would have known that he was in the Deity Plane.

He must have been searching for Su Mo for the past few years.

Thus, the incident that had taken place this day would arouse Di Yihun’s suspicion.

Su Mo had to leave Reincarnation Holy Court for the time being.

Not only would he have to leave Reincarnation Holy Court but he had to create commotions in the other places.

In that way, he could distract Di Yihun, making it safer for him to stay at Human Palace.

Su Mo headed to Sky Tyrant Court, and he flew and cultivated at the same time.

He spent more than a year reaching Sky Tyrant Court.

After staying in Sky Tyrant Court for two weeks, he headed for Sky Dragon Court before moving on to Sky Pool Holy Court.

…

A magnificent palace was seated deep in Heavenly Palace.

At a large secret chamber in the palace, the picture of a huge Maelstrom was carved on the ground.

There were six colors on the picture and it emitted a majestic aura.

A figure was sitting cross-legged at the center of the picture.

The person was in a yellow embroidered robe, and the light that surrounded him looked illusory.

The light seemed to be a Star Domain or the starlight of myriad stars.

The light engulfed the man in the embroidered robe and blurred his face.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

Someone knocked on the door of the secret chamber.

The man in the embroidered robe waved his hand and the door of the secret chamber opened automatically.

A good-looking youth in a white robe walked in.

The youth was none other than Tian Chenyu, one of the 10 Great Supreme Beings.

“Have you got news about him?”

The man in the embroidered robe asked in his hoarse voice as he continued with his cultivation.

“We have not found out anything about Invincible Leng and thus we are unable to confirm if he is Su Mo!” Tian Chenyu said with a sigh.

“What else?” The man in the embroidered robe asked. He knew that Tian Chenyu must have other information for him.

“For the past few years, someone who looks like Su Mo has appeared in various places at the Deity Plane!” Tian Chenyu said.

The man in the embroidered robe did not say a word and simply listened to Tian Chenyu.

Tian Chenyu said, “Three years ago, a guy with devouring power appeared in Sky Tyrant Court and he nearly devoured two men from the Sky Tyrant Clan. Two years ago, a guy with strong combat strength and Chaotic Energy appeared in Sky Dragon Court. One year ago, someone with many types of Primordial Spirits and Supreme Combat Body appeared at Paramount Region in Sky Pool Holy Court!”

Having said that, Tian Chenyu looked at the man in the embroidered robe and paused for a while. He then asked, “Do you think Su Mo is the one who appeared in all these places?”
