Warrior's Promise-Novel

1207 The Shenwu Academy

Lu Yun and the other apprentices were stunned upon hearing Steward Chai’s cold voice. They knew how powerful and highly revered a Steward was.

Several of the apprentice craftsmen urged Wu Fan to go at once.

“Please leave!”

“Go now, please!”

“Our Craftsman Guild does not welcome you!”

Several apprentice craftsmen stared at him coldly and urged him to leave.

Lu Yun, in particular, was very bold. He walked right up to Wu Fan and motioned for him to go with an extended arm.

Lu Yun did this deliberately to make a good impression on Su Mo.

Wu Fan burned with rage, however, he did not act impetuously. He took a deep breath and said, “Sir, I can leave and let Su Mo go, but there’s one thing.”

“What is it?” Steward Chai asked indifferently.

“Su Mo has captured three junior geniuses from the Sorcerer tribe. I hope you can make him release them. If he lets them go, I will let bygones be bygones.” Wu Fan continued solemnly.

He had no other way to deal with Su Mo. He had to settle for saving Wu Xian and the other two for now.

Of course, saying that he would “let bygones be bygones” was just lip service.

Su Mo had killed more than 900 geniuses of the Sorcerer tribe. He had to pay this debt with his blood.

“Su Mo, are you really holding three geniuses from the Sorcerer tribe?” Steward Chai asked.

“Yes.” Su Mo nodded his head. He did not deny it.

Steward Chai looked quiet and solemn. He wanted to help Su Mo out.

After some time, he said, “Su Mo, if you trust me, let them go!”

From Steward Chai’s point of view, for Su Moto keep holding the three geniuses was asking for trouble. He could only ensure his safety if he let them go.

“Steward Chai, there’s one thing you need to know: the Sorcerer tribe is holding one of my friends as well. Unless they release him, I won’t let the three geniuses go!” Su Mo shook his head.

“Nonsense! Of course, we aren’t holding one of your friends!” Wu Fan bellowed angrily. The fact was, they were not!

“The person held by your tribe is called Tian Yu, I believe!” Su Mo answered.

Wu Fan’s eyes narrowed. Su Mo seemed to be telling the truth. He began wondering himself.

Of course, he would not admit it.

“Master, he is talking nonsense! We haven’t captured any of his friends.” Wu Fan said to Steward Chai.

Steward Chai sighed inwardly. Since Su Mo would not release them, he must have his own concerns. He would not force him.

“Please leave now!” Steward Chai extended his arm and showed Wu Fan the way.

“How dare you... !” Wu Fan was infuriated.

Hush!

Wu Fan took a deep breath and suppressed his anger. Turning his head back to look at Su Mo, he said icily, “Aborigine, you have offended the Sorcerer tribe! There’s no place for you within the entire Ancientspirit Galaxy... you will surely die!”

With these words, he turned to go. He had no other choice. He had to leave first and then think of some other way to deal with Su Mo.

“If my friend loses a single hair, I will make sure these geniuses die! Nothing will be left of them!” Su Mo cried loudly after Wu Fan who was leaving the forge.

He had no way to rescue Hong Qingxuan and could only threaten Wu Fan. His threat might keep Hong Qingxuan safe.

“You’re courting death!” Wu Fan turned his head back violently and roared furiously.

He released an invisible sound wave toward Su Mo. It hurtled toward him with the speed of a darting arrow.

The sound wave was so fast that Su Mo was unable to react in time. It reached him almost instantaneously.

Steward Chai immediately swept out his robe sleeve and dissipated the sound wave.

As soon as he released the sound wave, Wu Fan streaked out of the Craftsman Guild like a shadow.

He had to leave—Steward Chai was a Lvl 8 expert in the Martial Honored Realm, he could not possibly fight him.

Besides, there were so many experts in the Craftsman Guild.

Steward Chai did not go after him. He was quite apprehensive about Wu Fan’s identity, otherwise, he would not have let him go so easily.

“Come with me, Su Mo!”

Steward Chai beckoned Su Mo and the two left the forge.

...

Inside Steward Chai’s residence, he and Su Mo sat on the host and guest seats respectively.

“Steward Chai, thank you for your help! I will always remember it!” Su Mo saluted Steward Chai with hands folded and thanked him.

He was deeply emotional. Facing a threat after leaving the Firmament World, he had actually met Steward Chai who then became his benefactor.

Heaven had shown him a way out!

“Su Mo, you don’t need to thank me. I admire your talent greatly!” Steward Chai smiled.

“Steward Chai, you helped me resolve a big crisis. I will definitely repay you in the future!” Su Mo said sincerely.

Steward Chai shook his head helplessly. He turned his palm up. Upon it was a jade badge the size of a goose egg.

Dark purple in color, the jade badge sparkled incessantly. It looked extraordinary.

Steward Chai left a note about Su Mo on the jade badge and then handed it over to him.

“Su Mo, this is your Craftsman Guild identification badge. Just leave a drop of blood essence here and you will have officially enrolled yourself as a member,” Steward Chai said.

Su Mo nodded. He took the badge and quickly left a drop of blood essence on it.

“This jade badge will make things easier for you. The divisions of our Guild throughout the Infinite Region will facilitate all your requests.”

“Thank you, Steward Chai!” Su Mo thanked him again. He kept his jade identification badge solemnly.

Steward Chai became quiet. Then, he said, “Su Mo, you have offended the Sorcerer tribe. It’s no small matter. You have to prepare for trouble soon.”

Su Mo nodded in agreement. The Craftsman Guild could only back him up for a short time. He must prepare himself.

Although the Craftsman Guild was extremely powerful, it was not a big, unified force. It could only help him loosely. Its protection was limited.

Besides, he was only an Imperial Craftsman. His status in the Guild was not high.

Ou Lianzi was only of the Upper Imperial level in his Craftsmanship Legacy. It was impossible for him to reach the Honorable level within a short period of time.

Steward Chai kept quiet for some time. His face was solemn. “Our small Guild division cannot protect you against the Sorcerer tribe.”

“Please show me a way out, Sir!” Su Mo said respectfully. He knew too little about the Ancientspirit Galaxy and the Beiling Star. He needed someone to give him pointers.

“Leave this place! Leave Star Beiling!” Steward Chai urged in a low voice.

Su Mo became silent. Where else could he go if he left? Must he roam as a wanderer?

“The Sorcerer tribe is too powerful in the Ancientspirit Galaxy. You must go where their influence is weak!” Steward Chai said.

“Please tell me where!” Su Mo said.

“Go to Star Guzhou. The power of ordinary humans is strong there. The other forces are relatively weak.” Steward Chai pondered.

“Star Guzhou?” Su Mo muttered to himself.

“Su Mo, if you would go there, I can recommend you a place!”

Steward Chai continued with smiling eyes. “That place is not only safe, it can also help you a lot in the future.”

“Oh, what place is it?” Su Mo asked, getting curious.

“The Shenwu Academy in Star Guzhou!” Steward Chai carefully enunciated the words.
