Warrior’s Promise

Su Mo felt empty while looking at her closed eyes.

He gained nothing from this battle. Although he had defeated Shangguan Hao and canceled the marriage, Qian Xunyue died and Hong Qingxuan was captured.

He murmured, “It’s all my fault!”

“Whoosh!”

A figure approached him. It was Deputy Hall Chief Hu from the Craftsmanship Hall of the Sky-sea Pavilion.

He said in a deep voice, “Su Mo, let me see.”

Su Mo nodded silently.

Then, Deputy Hall Chief Hu ran a slight amount of Dark Force and checked her out.

After a short while, he sighed and said, “Her life had gone. I can’t do a thing!”

Su Mo’s heart fell to his feet upon hearing this.

“But, she was not completely dead. Her spiritual consciousness is still there, and it’s extremely strong.”

“What?”

“Senior, is there a way to save her?” Su Mo asked hurriedly.

Deputy Hall Chief Hu shook his head and said in a deep voice, “Only a Martial Emperor Realm expert can save her. But there is none.”

“Martial Emperor Realm expert!” A bitterness appeared on his face.

The hope was gone.

“Then how long can her spiritual consciousness last?”

“She is a Martial Royal Realm expet, so her spiritual consciousness is strong. It depends on her will. If her will is weak, it will dissipate in ten days. If her will is strong, it will last about a year or so.”

Su Mo nodded upon hearing this. There was s silver lining.

If he can reach the Martial Emperor Realm within a year, there was hope.

However, it was impossible.

Su Mo was only at Lv 3 Martial King Realm. It was just too far from the Martial Emperor Realm.

Moreover, there had not been a Martial Emperor Realm expert in the Firmament World for countless years.

But sill, there was hope.

“Thank you for saving me!” Su Mo paid his gratitude. He could have been killed without this man.

“It’s nothing. You are welcome!”

Deputy Hall Chief Hu shook his head and said, “Su Mo, when will you go to the Sky-sea Pavilion? Me and Deputy Pavilion Leader Qian will be waiting for you.”

Deputy Hall Chief Hu looked at Su Mo with keen eyes. He was so desperate to get the craft method of the Natal Spiritual Sword.

Su Mo said, “I’ll go there after I finish the business here.”

Su Mo knew why this man saved him.

However, it did not matter since this man saved his life.

“Good!” Deputy Hall Chief Hu nodded and smiled.

In fact, he was not worried if Su Mo did not visit them. Nobody could escape from the Sky-sea Pavilion’s eyes.

Of course, he dared not to offend Su Mo since Su Mo was a disciple of the 13th Elder and had a master who was an Imperial Craftsman.

Su Mo and Deputy Hall Chief Hu descended on the square.

The Emperor Xuan Palace members were seeing the guests out.

Almost everyone glanced at Su Mo for one more second before they left.

They had never been shocked like this before.

Everyone thought that Su Mo would definitely be the strongest of this world if he was not killed.

Su Mo’s name would rise, and he would be the most famous one among the younger generation.

“Su Mo, follow me to the Inner Palace!”

Di Shi said, “Hao’er, you too.”

He then flew to the Inner Palace.

Shangguan Hao looked blank. He glazed at Su Mo and left.

“Swoosh!”

The 13th Elder flashed in front of Su Mo.

Despite the fact that 13th Elder only mentored Su Mo for one day, he still regarded the 13th Elder as his master.

“Su Mo, you are beyond my expectations!”

“Don’t worry, Di Shi would do you no harm, and you will be a disciple of the Emperor Xuan Palace.”

Su Mo nodded. He did not care about the title, it would be fine if Di Shi did not punish him.

“Let’s go to the Inner Palace!”

They then flew to the Inner Palace.

In the Conference Hall of the Inner Palace of the Emperor Xuan Palace.

Di Shi sat on his seat of honor, and a dozen elders were seated on his lower.

These elders ranked top 20s in the Emperor Xuan Palace, and they were all distinguished and powerful.

Su Mo and Shangguan Hao stood in the center of the hall.

“Su Mo, since you a disciple of my Emperor Xuan Palace, you should do your best to serve us.” Di Shi said in a deep voice.

“I will do what I can for the Emperor Xuan Palace!”

Su Mo did not refuse. He knew that Di Shi was just letting him make a stance.

As for contributing to the to Emperor Xuan Palace, it depended on his mood.

“Good!”

Di Shi smiled and said, “As for you and Xi’er, I won’t interfere anymore.”

Di Shi then looked at Shangguan Hao, saying “Hao’er, winning or losing, it doesn’t matter. You have a long way to go.”

Shangguan Hao kept silent as his eye glittered.

Di Shi paused for a while and continued, “Your marriage with Xi’er is over. You can have a fair competition with Su Moif you love her.”

“Aye, master!”

Shangguan Hao bowed to Di Shi, but his eyes glittered a sense of viciousness.

Fair competition?

Everybody knew that Xi’er loved Su Mo. How could it be fair?

It was impossible.

Shangguan Hao was pissed off so badly. Xi’er was his fiancee.

Di Shi was giving his fiancee away only because he was defeated by Su Mo!
