Warrior's Promise

Ren Yun Du chatted with Su Mo for a long time, persuading and reassuring him that his friends were fine. He did not want Su Mo to do anything reckeless.

Only after an hour of this did Ren Yun Du leave the immortal’s cave.

Once he left, Su Mo’s face fell and he sat down cross legged as he pondered over matters.

He definitely would not let You Tian Han go. He provoked him so many times, did he really think he could trample Su Mo?

However, with his current powers, it might be hard to kill You Tian Han. Su Mo still needed to work hard and increase his strength.

A short while later, Su Mo cleared his mind and continued cultivating the Narcissus’ Records.

Time passed by slowly and his Narcissus’ Record Skill was finally nearing completion as it gradually increased in strength.

The Narcissus’ Record was a Medium Honourable Skill and it was much stronger than Su Mo’s previous Upper Imperial skills. Even though his cultivation of it was low now, it was still much stronger than the Upper Imperial Skill.

As his mastery of the Naricussus’ Record continued to deepen, Su Mo’s overall strength gradually increased.

…

Outside Shen Wu Academy.

About 10 kilometres away from the meteor, Wu Ren Wang burrowed into the ground at the bottom of a small hill. He used his willpower to scan the area, and checked the situation inside Shen WU Academy.

He had already waited for close to a month and did not see Su Mo return. Hence, he could only continue to wait.

At the entrance of Shen Wu Academy, streams of experts came and announced a challenge to Su Mo. However, the people in the academy did not seem to care about these challengers.

The academy had arranged for experts to guard the entrance of the academy. Acting on their higher ups’ orders, the guards did not allow anyone to enter the academy.

“Damn it!” Wu Ren Wang’s face darkened. He knew that Su Mo had probably returned to the academy without his knowledge.

Afterall, Su Mo had an incredible method of hiding himself. That was how he had managed to escape from Wu Ren Wang at Glory City previously.

Right at that moment, Wu Ren Wang raised his eyebrows. The messaging charm on his body had been activated.

With a flip of his hand, the messaging charm appeared in his palm. Wu Ren Wang immediately used his willpower to check through the charm and You Tian Han’s voice sounded.

“Su Mo has returned to the academy but he has remained in the inner mansion!”

Upon hearing his words, Wu Ren Wang frowned. After a short of moment of thinking, he immediately transferred a message to You Tian Han, “is there a way to lure him out? I can kill him in one blow!”

Wu Ren Wang was very confident. He was too careless at Glory City, otherwise he wouldn’t have allowed Su Mo to escape.

Even if Su Mo could hide himself, if he attacked with a wide range attack, the hiding technique would not work.

Of course, he only wanted to capture Su Mo and not kill him because he wanted to investigate Su Mo’s secret.

Once he sent the message to You Tian Han, Wu Ren Wang waited silently for You Tian Han’s reply. However, the messaging charm did not activate again and it was silent.

Only around 15 minutes later did the messaging charm activate again, vibrating softly.

Wu Ren Wang anxiously checked the charm and You Tian Han’s voice rang out again, “isn’t there a lot of people who want to challenge Su Mo outside the academy? We can lure him out with this!”

Wu Ren Wang was silent. That was a valid idea. However, once he did it, everyone would know.

At that point, the higher-ups in the academy would observe the battles. If he wanted to kill Su Mo, that would be easy. If he wanted to capture Su Mo, that might not be very possible.

Wu Ren Wang was annoyed, just to capture one puny Su Mo. Did he really have to enlist the help of the priests in the tribe?

However, whether he could succeed or not, he would still try. Only if he was at his wit’s end would he request for assistance from the priests.

Furthermore, the True Sage Realm was about to open soon. He could not stay here for long and had to leave as soon as he could.

Then, Wu Ren Wang dug his way out from the ground and left the small hill.

…

In the immortals cave at Huo Yuan Peak.

Su Mo suddenly opened his eyes from his peaceful cultivation. This was because someone had suddenly appeared in front of the cave entrance.

This figure, was Gu Tian Yi.

“Su Mo, may I come in?” Gu Tian Yi wore a charming smile on his face and looked clean and proper.

“Brother Gu, come in!” Su Mo immediately stood up and let Gu Tian Yi into the cave.

A few moments later, they sat down beside the stone table.

“Su Mo, I heard that you have recently became very famous!”” Gu Tian Yi joked.

“Brother Gu, you don’t have to joke with me, it is just superficial!” Su Mo shook his head.

“This isn’t just superficial. the one ranked first in the True Sage Board is the best talent around. Since you are ranked there, everyone knows the extent of your talents!”

Gu Tian Yi laughed lightheartedly. He couldn’t help a flash of helplessness from passing through his eyes. At that moment, the rumours about Su Mo outside were everywhere.

Four Fighting Souls and two special body constitutions. This seemed to be complete nonsense.

Su Mo shook his head as he did not want to argue back. Then, he said, “Brother Gu, do you have any idea how I can help my two friends in the torture room?”

With these words, Gu Tian Yi’s face turned serious as he said, “it is possible to rescue them, but you will have to rely on yourself.”

“Rely on myself? What do I have to do?” Su Mo asked, bewildered.

“The Law Enforcement Hall gives out iron laws and it is not possible to change them. The higher ups in the academy would not damage themselves by releasing your two friends!”

Gu Tian Yi did not directly answer Su Mo but briefly explained the situation. At this point, he hesitated for a bit before continuing, “if you want to reduce Nie Qian and Han Ying from the Torture room, you have to be one of the 13 superpowers.”

“Oh?”

Su Mo’s eyes sparkled asking, “then, Brother Gu, are you able to get the two of them out and let them join the Imperial Ancestor Court Faction?”

“No, I don’t have this ability. Unless it is the emperor or his brother who personally requests it, I don’t have the authority to let them out!” Gu Tian Yi shook his head helplessly.

Su Mo frowned. It was just releasing two people but they needed the personal requests of the emperor and his brother… wasn’t that too much?

As though he could read Su Mo’s mind, Gu Tian Yi informed him, “if they didn’t commit the act then of course it wouldn’t be so troublesome. However, the two of them still carry the crime and only if the Martial Sages of the 13 superpowers request it will the Law Enforement Hall release them!”

Su Mo nodded his head and he continued staring at Gu Tian Yi, “then Brother Gu, are you able to ask your father or uncle to help?”

“I can’t! My father and uncle would not bother themselves with such small matters!” Gu Tian Yi shook his head again.

“What do I need to do? Brother GU, please advise me!” Su Mo asked sincerely. Gu Tian Yi had said previously that they had to rely on Su Mo, hence, he knew that Gu Tian Yi had had an idea.

“The True Sage Realm will open 8 months later, if you can leave your name on the True Sage Stele, I can persuade the emperor to release your two friends!” Gu Tian Yi told him.

“Leave my name on the True Sage Stele?” Su Mo frowned.

“That’s right. Those who are able to leave their names on the True Sage Steles will probably become future Martial Sages. If you can do it, I can ask the emperor to help you out!” Gu Tian Yi explained.

Su Mo was silent upon hearing his words. He still had to resolve his matter with the Sorcerer Tribe. Right now, it wasn’t possible for him to leave Shen Wu Academy in the short run.

“Su Mo, leaving your name on the True Sage Board and gaining the True Sage Qi would be your best chance to rescue your friends. It is perfect for you!” Gu Tian Yi exclaimed, he was not aware of the hatred between Su Mo and the Sorcerer Tribe.
