Warrior's Promise

After leaving the Martial Will Valley, Su Mo returned to Towering Sky Peak.

On his way, Su Mo was consumed by his thoughts regarding his future cultivation plan.

The Martial Arts Competition of Nine Peaks would commence in five days. His aim until then was to reach Lv 7 Enlightenment Realm prior to attempting to fuse the five elements into the Chaotic Force.

Of course, creating the Chaotic Force was not something that could be done overnight. Su Mo was not too hung up about it; it would be nice if he could succeed, if not, it wasn't a big deal either.

After the Martial Arts Competition of Nine Peaks, he wanted to return to Skymoom Country and bring the Sus and all the disciples of the Firmament Sect out.

After that, he would advance into the True Darkness Realm before crossing the vast Barbaric Mountains, toward the Central Continent.

Three years had already passed. He had only two years left to fulfill his promise to reunite with Xi'er in five years. His time was running out.

'Xi'er, wait for me! I'll be there for you soon," Su Mo murmured.

A white figure suddenly appeared before him. Su Mo was so engrossed in thoughts that he almost crashed into it.

"Watch where you are going!" Su Mo stopped himself and shouted angrily.

Su Mo could now see the figure clearly. It was a lady in white, she had a gorgeous figure and her beautiful hair extended all the way below her bottom.

Su Mo could see that she was extraordinarily beautiful, even though his view was from behind .

His eyes opened widely with a shock. He had met her before. He immediately recognized her.

She was none other than Hong Qingxuan's master, Fairy of the Ninth Heaven!

Su Mo was confused by her sudden appearance. He wondered if she was looking for him.

"How bad-tempered!" Qian Xunyue shook her head and exclaimed with a soft voice after hearing Su Mo.

She turned around slowly and aimed a cold glance towards Su Mo.

He was staring at her intently, as well.

Su Mo felt dreamy as he stared at Qian Xunyue from this close distance. She truly deserved the title of top beauty within the East Continent. So intoxicating, she was enough to take one's breath away.

The combination of stunning beauty and unparalleled disposition made her a being that was out of this world.

Both Xi'er and Hong Qingxuan were uncomparable to her, in terms of their disposition.

Although their appearances matched that of Qian Xunyue, they lacked her eleganance. She held a certain grace, holy and pure.

"Su Mo, from now on, do not come near Xuan'er!" Qian Xunyue spoke with a voice that was as pleasant as a melody.

Su Mo was startled by her words. His eyes turned black. She doesn't want to see me around Qingxuan anymore?

She obviously came to give him a final warning!

After a brief pause, Su Mo shook his head. "I'm sorry, that is not an option!"

Su Mo was pissed off. Although his intentions were unclear, even to himself, it did not mean that another person could meddle with his affairs!

Qian Xunyue's perfect face turned cold when she heard Su Mo's reply.

With her brows furrowed, she asked, "What do you want then? Weapon, cultivation skills, or martial arts techniques? I can fulfill any of your demands."

Su Mo's expression remained cold at her words. How could she even utter something like this! What kind of person does she think I am?

Weapons, cultivation skills, or martial arts techniques?

Does she really think that I can be bribed by these?

Her words were a personal insult to Su Mo!

"I want an Imperial Treasure Sword! Offer me that!" Su Mo sneered at her ignorance. Her beauty could not distract from the simple point she was missing. There are things that can never be exchanged for treasures!

Qian Xunyue's expression turned even colder when she heard Su Mo.

Imperial Treasure Sword?

Not a single one of these swords existed within the entire East Continent, and yet Su Mo asked her for one?

It was obvious to Qian Xunyue that Su Mo was teasing her. How dare an insignificant Enlightenment Realm martial artist like him tease a Martial Emperor?

Calm contempt poured from Qian Xunyue. "Su Mo, I truly respect your courage, but my patience is limited."

It had been a long time since anyone talked to her as he did. On the contrary, countless men were eager to please her. Both young and old martial artists alike tried their best to earn her attention.

No one had dared tease her as Su Mo just had. Qian Xunyue could not help but wonder how on earth this boy could so confidently defy her!

"If you can't offer me an Imperial Treasure Sword, this discussion is over!" Su Mo said flatly and turned around to leave.

Swoosh!

With a flash, Qian Xunyue stopped Su Mo.

"Are you done or not?" Su Mo yelled coldly. He was no longer fond of her. The interaction was proving to him she was nothing more than a pretty face.

"I've already made my offer. If you continue to be stubborn, do not blame me for the consequences!" Qian Xunyue said flatly. Given her status, she was showing extreme forbearance by speaking to Su Mo so nicely.

"Hmph! I am being stubborn?" Su Mo scorned and continued, " And I do not need another person making decisions about who I am with!"

Su Mo was growing increasingly irritated. Although he never planned to get together with Hong Qingxuan, Qian Xunyue's words still angered him.

Shaking her head, Qian Xunyue replied, "You don't deserve Xuan'er!"

"I don't deserve her?" Su Mo scoffed at her words. His talent was already known throughout the entire Celestial Spirit Sect. How could she say that!

"You might think highly of your talent, but it's just because you have not yet reached Martial King Realm!" Qian Xunyue shook her head and continued, "After you hit Martial King Realm, your cultivation will progress extremely slowly, just like an ordinary genius."

Su Mo was puzzled and astonished by her words. Will I progress extremely slowly after hitting Martial King Realm?

Even if that's the case, wouldn't everyone else be facing the same problem?

Qian Xunyue added, "Xuan'er has special body constitutions that will allow her talent to truly shine after reaching Martial King Realm. You will never be good enough for her."

"Special body constitutions?" Su Mo was puzzled by this. What special body constitutions does Hong Qingxuan have?

This changed nothing. Su Mo was extremely confident in his Martial Soul. His talent was average and he had no special body constitutions, so what? He had soul and that made up for everything.

"Even without any special body constitutions, I won't lose to anyone!" Su Mo spoke with utmost confidence.

"Is that so?" a beautiful smile blossomed over Qian Xunyue's face. She was laughing at Su Mo's blind confidence. She had dealt with other like him before, they were the easiest to handle.

"If you're so confident in yourself, why don't we make a bet?' Qian Xunyue smiled as she spoke.

Her smile consumed him. Her eyes were watery and alluring, and her face so dreamy that even Su Mo fell under her spell momentarily.

Su Mo stared at her intently, lost in her beauty. The entire world, for a moment, had lost its color.

She was too beautiful!
