Warrior's Promise

Upon hearing the words of Holy Son Taishi Jue, the crowd nodded. Su Mo indeed deserved to die. Only when he was dead would they be able to uphold the pride of the Taishi family.

“You Tian Han, you are the first person in line outside of the Taishi family. This matter shall be handled by you!” Taishi Jue looked at You Tian Han and commanded in a deep voice. A weakling like Su Mo naturally did not need the power of a bunch of Inner House disciples to take defeat. It would be sufficient enough for him to be handled by You Tian Han alone.

“Don’t worry Holy Son, Su Mo’s life will be ended with just a flick of my wrist!” You Tian Han said as he nodded.

“There is no room for errors!” Tai Shi Jue shook his head and cautioned, “I’ve heard that Su Mo stays on Huoyuan Peak, so he probably has the backing of Master Huoyuan! You must not become enemies with Master Huoyuan!”

You Tian Han frowned. This was indeed a problem, he had to seriously consider this.

“The best option would be to kill Su Mo without breaking any rules of the Academy. This way we will be able to uphold the glory of our family!” Tai Shi Xuan said.

Killing Su Mo would not be difficult. For them, it would be easy as pie. However, killing Su Mo silently and without repercussion would be more difficult. At the moment, they reckoned that their family was being ridiculed by all the other factions. If they were not able to kill Su Mo with dignity and honor, how would they wash off this humiliation!

“Holy Son, in that case I will choose a Genius of formidable Fighting Power from the Outer Mansion and challenge Su Mo!” Said You Tian Han.

“Okay! Do it!” Taishi Jue waved his hand.

…

At the same time, on another mountain peak of the Inner Mansion, the same topic was brought up inside a broad palace.

“Hahaha! This time the Taishi family must be so humiliated!”

“Yes! What a huge embarrassment for the Brother of the tribe to be killed!”

“I wonder how they will retaliate?”

The atmosphere inside the palace was extremely heated as laughter filled the air. Many had smiles on their faces. There were about fifty or sixty people inside the palace and they were all relatively young. Most of them were elites of Martial Honourable Realm and only a handful were of Martial Emperor Realm.

“Su Mo is daring!” said one young man on the main seats with a wavering smile. This young man was wearing an embroidered robe and was extraordinarily handsome. His aura was brilliant and he gave others the impression that he was very honorable. However,his aura did not cause the others to feel threatened. Instead, it was as light as a spring breeze and its strength provided a sense of comfort. This was the Holy Son of the Imperial Ancestor Court Faction, Gu Tian Yi.

“Your Highness, should we send people to rope Su Mo in now, or else I fear it will be too late and he will be snatched away by other Factions!” a young man asked Gu Tian Yi.

Gu Tian Yi was of extraordinary status. Not only was he the Holy Son of in the academy of the Imperial Ancestor Court Faction, he was also the emperor of the current generation of the Imperial Ancestor: the Eight Emperor.

“No need!” Gu Tian Yi shook his head slightly as he smiled, “Although Su Mo’s talent is not bad, it is still not worth it for us to become rivals with the Taishi family. Let’s wait a while more and see what he does next!”

Upon hearing this the crowd nodded. Although Su Mo’s talent was remarkable, if they were to rope him in to their Faction now, they would have to directly deal with the anger of the Taishi family. It would be better to sit back and observe the changes, and see what the next step of the Taishi family was going to be.

At this moment, it was not just the Imperial Ancestor Court Faction, but other Super Factions who were basically discussing the same thing. Almost all of the Factions were prepared to quietly watch the show unfold.

Su Mo had Grand Master Huoyuan as his backing and his own power was also extraordinary. Who knew if he would be able to withstand the attacks of the Taishi family.

“Your Highness, how has your relationship with the Spiritual Son been recently?” someone asked Gu Tian Yi. Upon hearing this, Gu Tian Yi fell silent and there was a faint glimmer in his eyes. In recent years he had been trying to find ways to entice the Spiritual Son, but he had never gotten a clear answer from the man. However, he was not worried. As all the other Factions wanted to invite the Spiritual Son into their own Factions, naturally the man would not express his position that easily.

Gu Tian Yi was adamant on the Academy’s Spiritual Son, who had the most remarkable talent and was of the highest status. As long as he could get the other party’s support, he would pounce on it like a tiger. In the future, it would be of tremendous help in fighting for the Emperor position of the Holy Dynasty.

“This matter still has to be given further thought!” Gu Tian Yi sighed.

…

In his dwelling, the aura of Su Mo’s body surged as he cultivated silently. The thick Five Elements of Dark Force gushed through his body as if it were a long river, causing his aura to surge constantly. His cultivation had currently reached Level 4 Martial Emperor Realm. Although he had numerous resources in his body, it was still not enough to reach Rank 5 Martial Emperor Realm. Time passed by slowly. The Inner Mansion was just a starry sky world, not differentiated by day and night.

In the blink of an eye, two days passed. Su Mo was beginning to have some doubts. After so long, not only did the Taishi family not show up to cause trouble, but nobody from the other Factions had come to invite him.

Swoosh!

Just as Su Mo was pondering this, he heard a crash outside. After which, a white figure landed in front of his dwelling. Su Mo looked up. The visitor was none other than Instructor Mu Li.

“I’m here to tell you that you must deal with the mess you created, don’t count on Master to protect you!” Instructor Mu Li shot a cold look at Su Mo. After saying her warning in an icy tone, her body flashed and she disappeared.

Upon hearing this, Su Mo was stumped. He then smiled bitterly and touched his nose. He was not counting on Grand Master Huoyuan to help him. Maybe Grand Master Huoyuan was already disappointed in him, but upon seeing that his talent was so extraordinary, the Grand Master had decided to help him and allow him to reside in Huoyuan Peak.

Shaking his head helplessly, Su Mo closed his eyes and prepared to continue cultivating. At that moment, another crashed resounded from outside the dwelling. Su Mo thought that Instructor Mu Li had returned, but she had not.

Sensing the outdoors with his spiritual knowledge, Su Mo discovered that it was a young man with a tall build, the same one who flew into Huoyuan Peak previously. However, the person’s body only stood in the void space and did not set foot on Huoyuan Peak.

This was because without the permission of the Grand Master of Huoyuan Peak, one could not enter. To trespass was an absolute sign of disrespect to Grand Master Huoyuan.

“Su Mo, I know that you are on Huoyuan Peak, do you dare to have a fight in the Fighting World?” the man with the tall build shouted. The person’s voice was not loud, yet it managed to be transmitted to all corners of Huoyuan Peak, fiercely challenging Su Mo to a fight. Upon hearing this, Su Mo raised his eyebrows and then carefully looked around. He realized that the person who challenged him was actually a Level 7 Martial Emperor Warrior.

“Someone who is of Level 7 Martial Emperor Realm actually has the nerve to challenge a Level 4 Martial Emperor Realm warrior? Go back to where you came from!” Su Mo scoffed while sitting still in his dwelling. He continued, “If you want to challenge me, you can. I will only fight those of the same level as me and kill all those who do so!”
