Warrior’s Promise

Su Mo stood in the air above Scorching Sun Sect.

He surveyed the area and scanned the entire Scorching Sun Sect with his spiritual consciousness. He found no powerful experts, and the strongest martial artist was merely at a half step to the Enlightenment Realm.

“I hereby declare that Scorching Sun Sect will be disbanded from today onward!”

Su Mo amplified his voice through his Genuine Vitality.

His voice turned into a sound wave that echoed across every corner of Scorching Sun Sect.

“What?”

“What’s going on?”

“Disbanding our sect? Who’s this? What a joke!”

All the disciples, elders, and deacons in Scorching Sun Sect were dazed to hear him, before they got angry.

“Who is this?”

“How dare he?”

“How dare he spout such nonsense!”

Meanwhile, the disciples on the Inner Square were slack-jawed to hear Su Mo, before bursting into an uproar.

“God! Who is he? How dare he spout nonsense at our Scorching Sun Sect?”

“He’s courting death, the First Elder won’t spare him!”

“I know who he is, he’s Su Mo, Su Mo of Gale Island!” someone recognized Su Mo and exclaimed.

“What? He’s Su Mo? The Su Mo who topped the List of Top 100 Talents of Hong Domain?”

“It’s actually him!”

“Did he get out of Firmament Divine Realm?”

Everyone chatted over each other from astonishment.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Multiple figures flew out from within Scorching Sun Sect. There were almost 40 of them, all experts of True Spirit Realm.

Their leader was a ruddy-faced elder with half of his hair white, whose cultivation had reached a half step to the Enlightenment Realm. He was the First Elder of Inner Gate, Lie Huo.

When Lie Huo saw that it was Su Mo spouting nonsense, a chilling light flashed in his eyes.

“Su Mo, you’re courting death!”

Lie Huo brought along a group of True Spirit Realm experts before Su Mo and shouted fiercely.

“Is that so?”

Showing disdain, Su Mo sneered and said, “I didn’t come here to die, I came to destroy your Scorching Sun Sect!”

“What? Destroy my Scorching Sun Sect?”

Lie Huo and the experts were all startled and dazed by Su Mo’s words.

“Haha!!”

“Hahaha!!!”

All of them started laughing hysterically as if they heard the funniest joke in the world.

A short while later, Lie Huo stopped laughing and sneered, “Su Mo, with your cultivation, how dare you…!”

Lie Huo paused halfway through his sentence as if something was stuck in his throat, he stared at Su Mo with his eyes wide open.

“Lv…Lv 8 True Spirit Realm! How…how’s that possible?”

Lie Huo stuttered. Only now did he realize Su Mo’s cultivation, and he was clearly shocked.

He vividly remembered that Su Mo was only at Lv 2 during the candidate selection test for the Top-100-talent Competition held at Sky Rapier Sect previously. In merely two months, his cultivation had actually reached Lv 8!

6 levels in two months?

Lie Huo’s mind was overwhelmed with disbelief and astonishment. Everyone else had realized Su Mo’s cultivation at this moment, and they were equally filled with disbelief.

“Lie Huo, tell me where the treasury of Scorching Sun Sect is and I might consider sparing your life.”

Su Mo said coldly.

That’s right, the reason why Su Mo came to destroy Scorching Sun Sect was because he was after their treasury. Although he was now filthy rich, he wouldn’t mind getting even richer!

Su Mo had accumulated a terrifying amount of wealth as of now. Once he’s free, he was planning to increase the rank of his Martial Soul greatly, it wouldn’t be impossible to advance into the Heaven Class in one shot!

“Spare my life?”

Hearing him, Lie Huo suppressed his shock and scrutinized Su Mo, before he sneered and said, “I’m guessing that your Gale Island doesn’t even exist anymore! Instead of running away, how dare you think about my Scorching Sun Sect’s treasury. Do you really think you are unstoppable with your cultivation at Lv 8 True Spirit Realm!”

Su Mo shook his head helplessly. Since Lie Huo wasn’t willing, he didn’t bother talking to them anymore!

Why would he worry about the treasury’s location if he could tear this place up!

“Die!”

Su Mo shouted and attacked, unleashing a five-colored sword Qi over a thousand meters long.

Slash! Slash! Slash!

Blood splattered and limbs flew in the air. Su Mo had mercilessly killed these remaining True Spirit Realm experts of Scorching Sun Sect.

Even Lie Huo who was at a half step to the Enlightenment Realm was sliced into two with one strike and died a horrifying death instantly.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Su Mo attacked several times more with a flash of sword radiance. As his sword Qi passed, there was no one standing before him anymore. The dozens of experts were all dead.

Beneath them, all the Scorching Sun Sect’s disciples were dazed to witness this.

The First Elder Lie Huo and dozens of elders at True Spirit Realm had all died within a breath!

Everyone felt a chill up their spines. When Su Mo’s gaze went past them again, they regained consciousness immediately and started running away.

“Run!”

“The First Elder is dead, Su Mo is attacking the sect!”

“Run!”

All the disciples started running away like headless flies.

Ignoring them, Su Mo dashed into Scorching Sun Sect and began looking for the treasury.

As his spiritual consciousness reached out, Su Mo could sense everything in Scorching Sun Sect.

There was a tower not far away, it’s Scorching Sun Sect’s Book Collection Pavilion, where they stored their martial scrolls. Su Mo immediately headed over.

Upon entering the Book Collection Pavilion, he found lots of Martial Scrolls, there were at least 10,000 scrolls.

Apart from that, there was a skinny middle-aged man here. He was also a True Spirit Realm expert, having reached the peak of Lv 8. He’s likely the elder guarding the Book Collection Pavilion.

The middle-aged man was staring at Su Mo with fear written all over his pale face. He had seen Su Mo killing Lie Huo and the others.

With a chilling light in his eyes, Su Mo was about to kill this man.

“Wait!” the man suddenly shouted in a frightened tone.

“Oh?”

Su Mo stopped and stared at him coldly.

“Su Mo, aren’t you looking for the treasury of our sect? I know where it is, I’ll bring you there!”

With cold sweat on his face, the man quickly added, “I’ll bring you there as long as you promise to let me off!”

“You have no rights to talk terms with me!”

Su Mo replied coldly. Scorching Sun Sect wasn’t that big, so he could find the treasury, albeit taking a little longer, even without the man’s help.

“This…!”

The man hesitated.

“Bring me there, or you’ll die!” Su Mo brandished his sword high and his voice was filled with murderous intent.

The man was instantly frightened, he hurriedly shouted, “I will, I will bring you there right now!”

The man didn’t dare to disobey Su Mo, he knew that he would die before he could even utter a word of rejection.

Su Mo then kept all the martial scrolls in this Book Collection Pavilion into his storage space, and followed the man toward Scorching Sun Sect’s treasury!
