Warrior’s Promise

Emperor Xuan Palace was located on the Emperor Xuan Mountain Range adjacent to Emperor Spiritual City.

Su Mo was wearing a black robe. He did not fly and just walked up to the main gate of Emperor Xuan Palace.

He arrived at the main gates some minutes later.

As he looked up, he found that there were lots of lanterns on the entrance of the main gate and the buildings inside the Sect. The Emperor Xuan Palace had a festive atmosphere.

At front of the main gate laid a red carpet, which was rather long and extended into the depths of the gate.

It was dawn and there were still a few hours before the wedding began, so few people had gathered there except for the men who kept guard at the gate.

However, the guards were not the usual disciples but some Deacons and elders because today was a special day.

A dozen people were keeping guard at the gate. The leader of them was a slightly pudgy middle-aged man. Judging from his aura, he was a Martial Royal expert.

The men behind him were all Martial King experts.

Su Mo took out his disciple Identification badge and hung it on his waist and strode toward them.

“Stop!” The slightly fat middle-aged man blocked Su Mo’s path and sized him up.

“What’s your name?” asked the middle-aged man indifferently as he glanced at the badge on Su Mo’s waist.

He would not have asked if he Su Mo were any other disciple with an identification badge, but Su Mo was dressed oddly and covered from head to toe in a black robe.

“Mo Su!” Su Mo slowly said.

“Mo Su?”

The chubby middle-aged man was dazed for a while and then asked in surprise, “Are you the 13th Elder’s disciple?”

Su Mo also felt surprised. He did not expect the middle-aged man to know him as the disciple of the 13th Elder who had been his master for just a day!

Actually, as Su Mo had made a scene in the Outer Palace of the Emperor Xuan Palace, lots of people knew that he had been recruited by the 13th Elder.

Although Su Mo had not returned to the Emperor Xuan Palace recently, it was well-known that he was the 13th Elder’s disciple.

“That’s right!” Su Mo gently nodded without denying that.

“Well, go ahead!” The slightly fat middle-aged man let Su Mo pass.

“Thank you, Elder!”

Su Mo then strode into Emperor Xuan Palace.

The man frowned slightly as he looked at Su Mo’s retreating back because he could not discover Su Mo’s real abilities.

It was obvious that Su Mo’s cultivation was at Lv 3 Martial King Realm, but he felt Su Mo’s real abilities were higher than that.

“That’s strange!” The slightly fat middle-aged man said to himself.

…

Su Mo walked slowly on the red carpet spread on the wide road.

Soon, Su Mo neared the outer square where there were a great many people working. Some of them were building the visitors’ stands.

Since the wedding had not started, the visitors had not arrived yet.

Su Mo walked into the forest next to him.

He sat cross-legged on a stone to cultivate and wait.

As the sun rose, the whole Emperor Xuan Palace bustled with people and activities.

On the outer square, a high platform for the ceremony surrounded by visitors’ stands had been built.

A large number of disciples and elders of Emperor Xuan Palace had gathered on the outer square. The square could not handle the crowd and some of them stood on the mountain road.

As it neared the middle of the day, more and more people gathered on the square with loud and noisy voices.

Su Mo waited quietly for Shangguan Hao and Xi’er to appear.

“The First Elder of the Dugus is here!”

Soon, someone shouted loudly at the main gate, giving the visitor a welcome.

Looking down through the woods, Su Mo saw dozens of people landing in front of the main gate.

They were all experts and their leader was an old man with gray hair and big eyes.

The Dugus was one of the three major families in the nine human forces.

Immediately, someone led them to the outer square.

“The Dark-ice Queen of the Icy Palace of North Sea arrives!”

“Here comes the First Elder of Xuan Sect!”

“The First Elder of the Beitangs arrives!”

The loud greetings rang incessantly as visitors arrived at Emperor Xuan Palace one after another.

The visitors were from not only the nine human forces but also some demon clans and some weaker forces.

“The third island owner of Burning Clouds Island of the South Sea is here!”

“Flood Dragon Emperor of East Sea arrives!”

“Here comes the deputy Palace Master of the Yin-yang Palace!”

“The Deputy Pavilion Leader from the main-branch of the Sky-sea Pavilion is here!”

Every loud announcement represented the arrival of an expert of a superpower.

There were no Sect Masters amongst the visitors for it was, after all, just the wedding of two juniors.

“Deputy Hall Chief Hu also came!”

Looking at the group from the Sky-sea Pavilion, Su Mo did not expect Deputy Hall Chief Hu to be among one of them.

Su Mo sighed. With so many experts here, it was really not a good time to have a challenge. He just hoped that everything would go smoothly.

Just then, a large group of martial artists flew over and then landed before the gate.

Each of them was dressed in a black robe.

“The First Elder of Netherworld Holy Sect arrives!”

Su Mo’s face darkened when he heard the voice.

He spotted two familiar faces, Huangfu Qing and Li Feng.

Well, that Li Feng was not his Li Feng now. He was Wu Shan.

“This is bad!” Su Mo frowned. With the arrival of Huangfu Qing and Wu Shan, the plot thickened.

There were a great many experts from Netherworld Devil Sect. Huangfu Qing and Wu Shan were nothing to him, but the First Elder of Netherworld Devil Sect was definitely someone who could not be overlooked.

Su Mo was anxious. He might be killed by them if he showed up, but he did not want to flee without doing anything.

If he escaped, Xi’er and Shangguan Hao would get married. Besides, the promise he had made to Xi’er and the announcement to fight against Shangguan Hao would both become jokes.

Su Mo secretly clenched his fists. He would not and could not break his promise.

A man must keep his promises. Even if there were mountains of blades and seas of fire before him, he must pass through them.

Su Mo then took a deep breath, putting aside these problems and regained his peak status.

As the visitors from the forces were led to their stands one by one. the visitors’ stands were soon full of raucous crowds.

It was noon and the wedding was about to begin.

However, Di Shi, the leader of Emperor Xuan Palace, and Shangguan Hao, the protagonist, had not shown up yet.
