Warrior's Promise

Su Mo and Xi'er flew rapidlyinside the infinite void,

"Brother Su Mo, we've already destroyed a few side halls of the Netherworld Devil Sect, they'll definitely take precautions now!" Xi'er reminded Su Mo.

Su Mo nodded. Xi'er was right. He had already destroyed eight of the Netherworld Devil Sect's side halls. It was impossible for them to remain indifferent. Perhaps they had already dispatched more men and laid an ambush.

After pondering for a while, Su Mo said, "Let's go back first then!"

He had obtained a massive amount of resources, with countless divine elixirs and Spiritual Stones. He prepared to lay low for a while and upgrade his strength before he dealt with the Netherworld Devil Sect again.

It would be safer this way. Moreover, Xi'er was still with him, he would not want Xi'er to take the risk with him.

"Alright!" Xi'er nodded. This was exactly what she wanted. It would be very dangerous if they were to continue.

"Come, let's go back to Emperor Xuan Palace!"

Then they changed directions and head toward Emperor Xuan Palace.

After traveling for over ten days, they reached Emperor Xuan Palace safely.

The current Emperor Xuan Palace was just like before, nothing much had changed.

However, some disciples were looking at him differently. This made Su Mo puzzled.

Su Mo and Xi'er did not stop at the Outer Palace and went straight to the Inner Palace.

"Su Mo is so audacious, I've heard that he had killed tens of thousand of Netherworld Devil Sect members during this period!"

"Indeed, the Netherworld Devil Sect had already pressured Palace Master to hand over Su Mo!"

"So, what's the Palace Master response?"

"Of course he did not agree. He claimed that Su Mo was from Sky-sea Pavilion, so we have no rights to hand him over, and rejected the Netherworld Devil Sect."

"Aye! Su Mo has gravely threatened the Holy Son's position!"

"If Su Mo marries the Holy Maiden, then it's got nothing to do with the Holy Son!"

Several disciples at the Outer Palace chattered softly.

...

At the Inner Palace, after they parted ways, Su Mo and Xi'er went back to their respective palace.

Su Mo sat cross-legged on the futon and was preparing to cultivate when an Inner Palace Deacon knocked on his door.

"Su Mo, the Palace Master is asking for you!" the Deacon said.

Su Mo could only pause his cultivation and head toward the Inner Palace's Conference Hall.

The vast and broad meeting palace was totally empty. Only Di Shi sat at the main seat with his eyes closed.

"Greetings, Palace Master!" Su Mo saluted him as he walked into the palace.

Di Shi slowly opened his eyes which were like deep tunnels. He sized up Su Mo and his eyes flashed brightly.

Su Mo had actually breakthrough his cultivation!

Di Shi was slightly surprised and said in a deep voice, "Su Mo, I already know what you have done!"

Su Mo remained silent and quietly looked at Di Shi.

Di Shi sighed and continued saying, "You have been rash, killing some outer disciples of the Netherworld Devil Sect can only vent your frustrations, but it's useless!"

Di Shi did not know the magical effect of Su Mo's Devouring Martial Soul, that's why he thought Su Mo was only killing them to vent his frustrations.

"They deserve to die!" Su Mo said plainly with cold eyes.

"You should stop for the time being. The Netherworld Devil Sect has already sent experts to all their side halls!" Di Shi shook his head and said.

"Alright!" Su Mo nodded. Since he was back, that meant he would not attack for the time being.

Then Di Shi pondered and said in a deep voice, "Next, there's an important matter for you to do."

"What's that?" Su Mo asked curiously.

"The decennial Fighting Spirits' Plane is going to begin soon! Di Shi said.

"Fighting Spirits' Plane? What's that place?" Su Mo asked curiously.

"The Fighting Spirits' Plane is a place of treasure. Only when you have been to the Fighting Spirits' Plane, then are you qualified to promote to Martial Emperor!" Di Shi said.

"Oh?" Su Mo was surprised. One had to go to the Fighting Spirits' Plane to be qualified to promote to Martial Emperor? In this case, he would definitely go.

Based on his knowledge, if a martial artist wanted to be promoted to the rank of Martial Emperor, his martial soul needed to transform to become an ultimate Fighting Soul.

Could it be that the Fighting Spirits' Plane could transform a martial artist's Martial Soul?

But, how could it be? He's only at the cultivation of the Martial King Realm, could he transform as well?

However, Su Mo did not ask Di Shi. He would know when he went to Fighting Spirits' Plane.

"Go and prepare yourself! You shall set off together with Hao'er and Xi'er in two weeks!" Di Shi said.

"Alright!" Su Mo nodded solemnly, but he was totally speechless. Shangguan Hao had no Martial Soul, what's the point of him going to the Fighting Spirits' Plane?

Of course, Su Mo would never tell Di Shi that he had devoured Shangguan Hao's Martial Soul.

"Palace Master, I shall make a move if there's nothing else!" Su Mo saluted Di Shi and prepared to leave.

"Hold on!" Di Shi raised his hand and said, "The Fighting Spirits' Plane consists of infinite killing desire. There'll be a large number of humans and demons experts. The young master of the Netherworld Devil Sect, Wu Shan, will definitely be there!"

"Wu Shan will be there?" Su Mo heard and a gleam of cold light flashed in his eyes.

He wanted to kill Wu Shan badly. Not only did he occupy Li Feng's physical body, but he had also abducted Hong Qingxuan. Hence, Wu Shan had already been placed on his must-kill list.

"That's right! That's why you must be extra careful!" Di Shi nodded and continued, "There's someone else you must be wary of. He's the Flood Dragon Prince of the East Sea."

Su Mo's eyes narrowed. He did not care about what flood dragon Crown Prince. He only cared about Wu Shan. So long as Wu Shan went to the Fighting Spirits' Plane, then he would have a chance.

"Alright, you may go back!" Di Shi waved his hands.

Su Mo saluted Di Shi again and turned to leave the palace.

Di Shi looked thoughtful as he watched Su Mo walk away.

"I hope you won't disappoint me!" Di Shi sighed and murmured.

He was starting to value Su Mo as he found him to be more outstanding than Shangguan Hao. However, Shangguan Hao was after all personally trained by him, his importance was not something Su Mo could compare to.

Hence, Di Shi was also monitoring and see how capable was Su Mo.

After Su Mo left the palace, he returned to this own palace.

"Fighting Spirits' Plane!" Su Mo murmured as he sat cross-legged on the futon.

This trip to theFighting Spirits' Plane was a rare opportunity for him. He could destroy Wu Shan and rescue Hong Qingxuan once and for all.

However, Wu Shan was unlikely to bring Hong Qingxuan along.

But, if he captured Wu Shan, he could then threaten the Netherworld Devil Sect into hand over Hong Qingxuan.

After a short while, Su Mo abandoned all distractions and started cultivating.

This trip to the Fighting Spirits' Plane was not a small matter. He wanted to strive to upgrade to another level of cultivation before he left.

After all the killings and devouring during this period, Su Mo's cultivation had reached the Lv 4 peak of the Martial King Realm.

However, the rapid devouring caused his cultivation to be superficial and his foundation was not solid enough. It required him to stabilize and solidify it.
