Warrior's Promise

“Deep trouble?” Su Mo asked and furrowed his brows.

“You have killed so many people. Not only will the Taishi Family Faction not let you off, but the Academy will punish you as well!” Mu Li said.

“Punish?”

When Su Mo heard it, he pondered for a while and said, “I have not broken any rules. They have fought with me willingly!”

Su Mo was not the least worried. Although he had killed many people, he had followed the rules and had not broken any of them.

Although the number of people that he had killed was a bit ridiculous, the Academy could not possibly penalize him for it!

Moreover, he had Grand Master Huoyuan to back him up and so many factions were getting him to join them. There should not be any problem!

“You’d better be careful!” Instructor Mu Li said and without saying another word, she flew off.

Su Mo shook his head helplessly and turned to walk back to the immortal’s cave.

He then started to condense his skills and at the same time, wait for the Blood Forces to merge together.

At the moment, he possessed four unique physiques: the Deep Heavens martial body, the Divine Sun Body, the Colored Glaze Treasure Body, and the body of the Guardian Warrior. In terms of talents and combat strength, he had advanced one level up.

While Su Mo was quietly cultivating, the Shenwu Academy was in an uproar.

80 disciples had been killed and this took the Academy by storm. All the higher echelons were shocked.

The entire Taishi Family Faction went into action and they were determined to put Su Mo to death.

Suddenly, the Academy was in turmoil.

Su Mo was cultivating quietly in the immortal’s cave when Nie Qian and Han Ying came back.

“Brother Su, you are in trouble!” The two of them rushed into Su Mo’s immortal cave, looking anxious.

“What has happened?” Su Mo asked curiously after he ended his cultivation.

“The Taishi Family Faction is putting pressure on our Academy’s Law Enforcement Hall to put you to death!” Nie Qian said, looking worried.

“That is right. Lord Taishi, the Holy Son of the Taishi Family Faction, has mentioned that if the Law Enforcement Hall does not put you to death, he will kill you himself!” Han Ying said.

“Is that so?” Su Mo frowned when he heard it. This matter was getting tricky.

“Brother Su, why not…you should run away! Leave the Academy!” Nie Qian said, after hesitating for a while.

“Run away?”

Su Mo shook his head. The men from the Taishi Family Faction must be monitoring his movements so he would not be able to run away!

Although Su Mo currently possessed the Invisible Fighting Soul, he would not be able to hide himself from the martial artists who were at the Martial Honored Realm.

Once he had been discovered, he would definitely lose his life.

“Don’t worry, there is always a way out!” Su Mo said with a sigh, but he started to get worried.

Were the other factions not trying to pull him over?

Why have they not come!

“Sigh!” Nie Qian and Han Ying sighed. They felt that Su Mo had gone overboard this time around.

He had killed so many people from the Taishi Family Faction and this had infuriated them!

They had not come to kill Su Mo straight away probably due to Grand Master Huoyuan.

However, would Grand Master Huoyuan help Su Mo?

The two of them were worried.

“Don’t worry, I will be fine. Why don’t you go back first?” Su Mo told them.

“All right!” Nie Qian and Han Ying nodded. They were unable to help Su Mo and could only wait to see what would happen next.

They then went back to their respective immortal’s caves.

Su Mo then started to wait patiently for the factions to come to him.

He would join whichever faction that would come.

If no one came, he would have to put down his pride and go to the mountain to look for Grand Master Huoyuan.

Time passed by slowly. After around 15 minutes, someone appeared quietly in front of Su Mo’s immortal cave.

Su Mo lifted up his head and saw a youth in an embroidered robe standing at the entrance. His built was well-proportioned and he was good-looking. Most importantly, he looked like a noble.

Su Mo raised his brows. This person is not from the Huoyuan Peak but he is able to come straight to his immortal’s cave. Someone must have informed Grand Master Huoyuan!

If not, no one can possibly come to the mountain without the approval of Grand Master Huoyuan!

“Brother Su, can I come in?” The youth in an embroidered robe asked gently with a smile.

“Please do!” Su Mo nodded and immediately stood up to invite him in.

There was a stone table and some seats in the immortal’s cave and the two of them sat facing each other.

“Brother Su, I have long heard of you. Now that I meet you, I find that you are truly impressive and outstanding!” The youth in an embroidered robe said and cupped his fist at Su Mo.

“You are too kind with your words. May I know who you are?” Su Mo asked curiously after he shook his hand.

The youth in an embroidered robe was stunned when he realized that Su Mo did not know him.

He smiled and introduced himself, saying, “I am Gu Tianyi, the Holy Son of the Imperial Ancestor Court Faction.”

When Su Mo heard that, his eyes brightened up. Someone has come! The Holy Son from the Imperial Ancestor Court Faction has come!

“You are the Holy Son! My apologies for not recognizing you!” Su Mo immediately cupped his fist and behaved politely toward him.

“Hahaha! Brother Su, it is all right. I am the Holy Son simply because I am older and my cultivation is slightly higher than you!” Gu Tianyi laughed heartily and did not put on any airs.

“You are being too humble!” Su Mo laughed and secretly sized him up. He could not tell which level Gu Tianyi’s cultivation was at but he knew that Gu Tianyi was not a simple person.

Leave alone his cultivation, Gu Tianyi carried himself well and was tactful, and left one with a good impression of him.

Moreover, he did not put on any airs like the rest of the Holy Sons, but he might be scheming.

“Brother Su, stop calling me the Holy Son. It makes us seem very distant. Let us address each other as peers. You can call me by my name!” Gu Tianyi said with a smile.

“In that case…I shall address you as Brother Gu!” Su Mo said in a deep voice.

Gu Tianyi nodded. After chatting with Su Mo, he pondered for a while before getting down to business and said, “Brother Su, you have offended the Taishi Family Faction. Do you know that they are pressurizing the Academy’s Law Enforcement Hall to take action against you?”

“Yes, I know!”

Su Mo nodded and asked, “Is Lord Taishi so powerful?”

Su Mo found it puzzling. The Taishi Family Faction was after all, a bunch of disciples and they were not truly of the Taishi Family. How could a Holy Son possibly possess such a great power as to pressurize the Academy’s Law Enforcement Hall?

“Of course he is. There are many instructors and Grand Masters in the Academy who are related to the factions and the forces behind them!” Gu Tianyi said.

Su Mo nodded and he was enlightened. In terms of power and relationships, the Holy Sons were better at them than the Divine Sons.

After all, although the Divine Sons had great talents and they held high positions in the Academy, they did not join any of the factions.

Gu Tianyi sighed and warned Su Mo, “Brother Su, if I have guessed it correctly, the Law Enforcement Hall is unable to take the pressure. They will take action against you soon!”
