Warrior’s Promise

“All hail the mighty Su Mo!”

Someone suddenly shouted as Su Mo was walking on the stairs.

Su Mo turned his head and chuckled. It was no stranger, it was an excited Niu Xiaohu.

Following Niu Xiaohu, Zhou Xin, Lu Shaoyun, Fei Kuang and the others began shouting too. After a while, almost all the Gale Island disciples shouted in chorus, resounding to the skies.

“All hail the mighty Su Mo!”

“All hail the mighty Su Mo!”

“All hail the mighty Su Mo! All hail the mighty island owner!”

“All hail the mighty Su Mo! All hail the mighty island owner!”

Everybody’s face turned red with excitement.

All of them were satisfied with Su Mo being the island owner.

Su Mo, a legendary youth who is unrivaled and with unprecedented talent. All his abilities dubbed as legendary.

In less than two years’ on Gale Island, he rose up the ranks and achieved such an unprecedented accomplishment!

He won the first place in the Top-100-talent Competition, making a name for himself throughout Hong Domain.

On Gale Island, he easily killed a Lv 2 Enlightenment Realm expert. Everything he had done was so shocking and incredible!

Everyone believed that he would bring Gale Island a bright future. Hence, they were all willing to follow Su Mo even if it meant leaving their home.

Su Mo strode forth. Seeing those high-spirited disciples, he became emotional.

Now that he had become the island owner, he had to consider their needs when making decisions in the future. The burden on his shoulder became heavier!

After all, most of them put their faith in his potential and relied on him for their future. He could not let them down!

A little while later, Su Mo had gone upstairs, passed through the square and walked into the sect hall.

In front of him was the high throne for the island owner, beside stood several True Spirit Realm elders.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Su Mo thumped toward the island owner’s seat. Under the gaze of dozens of elders inside and thousands of disciples outside, he finally came in front of the seat.

He turned around, and his sharp eyes swept the crowd.

Highest Elder, who stood at Su Mo’s left, stepped forth and waved his hand. A giant incense burner appeared in front of Su Mo.

Highest Elder then took out three sticks of one-meter-long rich incense and handed over Su Mo.

“Light the incenses!” Highest Elder stepped back and said loudly.

Suddenly, another elder with fire property cultivation skill came forward. He pointed his finger, and the three incenses in Su Mo’s hand were lit up.

“The first prayer to our past masters!” Highest Elder said.

Su Mo held the incenses with both hands and bowed.

“The second prayer to the Gods!”

Su Mo bowed again after the elder’s voice.

“The third prayer to heaven and earth!”

Su Mo bowed thrice, and then stuck the incenses into the incense burner.

After that, he walked to the seat and sat down.

“Your Excellency, the island owner!”

“Your Excellency, the island owner!”

“Your Excellency, the island owner!”

“…”

The voices shook the heaven. Everybody paid respect to Su Mo in unison.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The True Spirit Realm experts inside the hall bowed with two hands folded, while the disciples outside all went down on one knee.

“Everyone, rise!” Su Mo said loudly, slightly lifting his hands.

Looking at the bowing members, Su Mo blushed and felt his blood rising. A sense of heroism skyrocketed from him into the sky.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

All members rose up and stared at Su Mo with keen eyes.

“Island owner, instructions please!” Highest Elder said.

Although his status equaled to Su Mo, he bowed too, only because he respected Su Mo.

Su Mo thought for a short while, sweeping the crowd with sharp eyes and said, “Today, I only have two things to state!”

“First, Gale Island shall be no more. From now on, there’s only… the Firmament Sect!”

The crow was shocked. This was not a small matter and Su Mo had not mentioned it earlier.

However, after a short break, they respectfully agreed.

“Aye! Island owner!”

The crowd responded in unison. However, some in the crowd who felt something was amiss cried aloud, “Aye! Sect Leader!”

Su Mo slightly nodded his head and continued with a cold face. “Second, the Firmament Sect had zero tolerance to betrayers. Betrayers will be killed without exception!”

The crowd felt the bleakness in their hearts. Many of them recalled the scene of Su Mo slaughtering the 100 betrayers, and took warning from it.

“Kill without exception!” The crowd shouted.

“Good!” Su Mo slightly nodded and said, “Everyone, go prepare for the evacuation later!”

“Aye, Sect Leader!”

All disciples bowed down and left, as did many elders.

A moment later, there was only Su Mo, Highest Elder, and Elder Wei in the hall.

“Master, how’s Senior Brother Wang?” Su Mo looked at Elder Wei and asked.

“Hui’er has woken up. He’s out of danger now and very weak. It should take at least one month to recover!” Elder Wei sighed.

“Can he take the trip?” Su Mo showed concern.

“Ha! Ha!” Elder Wei smiled and said, “Yes he can. He’s a True Spirit Realm martial artist after all!”

Su Mo nodded. It would be troublesome if he could not evacuate.

“Su Mo, we can leave Hong Domain if we head north-east and cross five countries. To find a place in one of those countries or leave Hong Domain completely, what do you think?”

Highest Elder said seriously. They were still determined not to leave Hong Domain.

The journey of escaping Hong Domain was too long for those low-level disciples, who would slow the speed of the evacuation.

On the other hand, leaving Skymoon Country and settling down in another country was not as secure as leaving Hong Domain. Therefore, Highest Elder wavering.

Su Mo pondered and said, “Let’s…!”

Wind noise came suddenly and interrupted Su Mo. It was obviously the Enlightenment Realm experts moving toward Gale Island.

Su Mo’s face turned and immediately rushed into the sky.

Highest Elder and Elder Wei also followed in shock.

“Cold-blood Hall has arrived?”

The three felt an impact on their hearts, and had a bad feeling about it.
