Warrior’s Promise

100 Outer Disciples had gathered in the outer square on Holy Sky Peak.

They were all talented disciples from Holy Sky Peak’s outer gate. In terms of cultivation, the lowest amongst them was of Lv 8 Enlightenment Realm, and more than half were of Lv 9 Enlightenment Realm.

There were a few that gave off an aura much more powerful than the rest, and they were those who had reached a Half Step to the True Darkness Realm cultivation.

Just ahead of them stood a dozen outer elders, and their leader was an inner elder, a middle-aged man clad in teal.

“Everyone, follow me to Great Heaven Peak!” the middle-aged man in teal said loudly as he scanned the crowd.

“Yes, Elder Wei!” they responded.

Suddenly, there a flash, and a figure in brown appeared in front of him.

He was a tall elderly man over 60 years old.

Elder Wei was stunned and immediately bowed to the elder, saying, “Greetings, First Elder!”

“Greetings, First Elder!”

The rest of the crowd quickly bowed in greeting. This was Holy Sky’s Peak first elder, Zhu Wen.

“Hm!” Zhu Wei nodded slightly, glanced at the crowd with his hands behind his back, and said loudly, “I expect all of you to bring honor to Holy Sky Peak in the upcoming competition.”

“Don’t worry, First Elder, with the exception of Great Heaven Peak, no one else is our match!

“Yes, Holy Sky Peak is powerful and we do not fear even Great Heaven Peak!”

“This competition is our chance to establish our name.”

All the disciples responded to the Elder. Each one was confident in Holy Sky Peak’s abilities this time.

Amongst the 100 Holy Sky Peak disciples participating in this competition, 68 of them were at Lv 9 Enlightenment Realm, with half of them of Peak Lv 9 Enlightenment Realm.

There were also eight of them who had reached a Half Step to the True Darkness Realm cultivation. Furthermore, there were a few crazy talented people whose combat strength was far above their cultivation.

“Alright!” Zhu Wen nodded approvingly.

He continued coldly after a moment’s pause, “If you come up against Towering Sky Peak disciples in this competition, go mercilessly for the kill!”

He hoped that his disciples would be able to kill a few Towering Sky Peak disciples in the competition. After all, everyone knew that injuries and deaths were common occurences in such competitions.

Even Huangfu Qing would not be able to object to this!

“Haha! Rest assured, First Elder!”

“First Elder, we wouldn’t have shown mercy even without your words!”

“Yes, not only have the Towering Sky Peak disciples been arrogant and domineering, they have also killed many Holy Sky Peak disciples. They better pray that they cross paths with me!”

Their hearts were filled with killing desire, and could not wait to see Towering Sky Peak disciples meet an end by their hands!

“Senior Brother Xiao, I wonder if Su Mo will participate in this competition?” Jiang Chi asked Xiao Xuanyi.

As Holy Sky Peak disciples of Lv 9 Enlightenment Realm, both Jiang Chi and Xiao Xuanyi were a naturally going to take part in the competition.

Xiao Xuanyi’s face darkened at the mention of Su Mo and his eyes filled with killing desire. Su Mo had not only killed his cousin, Tao Wei, but had even taken away his corpse. This filled his heart with uncontrollable rage.

However, he had not dared to attack Su Mo within the confines of Celestialspirit Sect, so he had been reining in his kiling desire all these time.

“He’ll definitely attend. Then, we’ll tear him to pieces and grind his bones to dust!” Xiao Xuanyi said frostily. To him, this competition was a chance to avenge his cousin’s death.

Otherwise, with Su Mo’s terrifying talent, he would lose his chance if he waited too long!

Jiang Chi sighed inwardly and could not help but feel sorry for Su Mo. Su Mo was either going to die or sustain serious injuries in this competition!

After First Elder Zhu Wen had departed, EIder Wei coughed and announced, “Let’s go!”

He then led the group toward Great Heaven Peak.

Two young men stood in an luxurious tower.

One was clad in black, his handsome face cold, and the other wore a silk robe and had comely features.

The young man dressed in silk was Hou Jun, who had been tortured by Su Mo earlier.

“Senior Brother Gong, you must kill Su Mo on my behalf in this competition,” he said through gritted teeth.

Hou Jun was very frail. He had still not recovered from when Su Mo broke his limbs and meridians.

His physical wounds still had not healed, and his emotional wounds were even deeper. He hated Su Mo to the core, and he would not rest until he was dead!

The young man in black frowned slightly and asked, “Didn’t Master say he already punished Su Mo?”

“That was not enough!” Hou Jun said furiously, “I only injured Su Mo with a yell. Huangfu Qing’s father was too strong and sent me flying for thousands of kilometers in a single strike. My father told me to give up on revenge thereafter!”

Last time, when Hou Yuan came to Towering Sky Peak seeking revenge, Huangfu Qing had used his Sky-splitting Sword Finger to send him flying.

Hou Yuan never went back to Towering Sky Peak because he knew how much stronger Huangfu Qing was than him, and that going back was only asking for insult.

“Why do you want me to kill Su Mo then?” the young man in black asked, puzzled.

“Humph! How could I simply let this rest?” Hou Jun chuckled coldly and said, “I won’t stop until I kill Su Mo!”

Although Hou Yuan had told his son to let it go, Hou Jun would not stop until he killed Su Mo, so he wanted the young man in black to kill him on his behalf.

The young man in black sighed slightly, nodded, and said, “Alright! As long as he participates in this competition, I’ll help you kill him!”

“Thank you, Senior Brother Gong!” Hou Jun was overjoyed and hurriedly clasped his fists in thanks at the young man in black.

Hou Jun was heartened. The young man in black was his father’s disciple, Gong Cheng. He was not only at a Half Step to the True Darkness Realm, but also a demonic talent with the strength of a Lv 1 True Darkness Realm martial artist.

Once Gong Cheng attacked, Su Mo would be done for. With Su Mo’s strength, he would definitely participate in this competition.

Killing Su Mo would be a piece of cake for Gong Cheng!

“It’s almost time. Let’s go!”

Gong Cheng and Hou Jun then left the tower together.
