Warrior's Promise

Heng Fei walked towards Wu Fengtian as an ominous smile curled up his face. Thereafter, his palm flipped and Dark Force circulated through it as he prepared to kill Wu Fengtian.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Right at that moment, stepping sounds were heard from the yard outside.

“Someone has arrived?”

Heng Fei’s heart jumped in surprised. This was a bad turn of events. This was the Sorcerer Tribe and if someone found that he was there, he would be dead.

From the sound, Heng Fei could discern that the person was walking towards the palace where the cultivation room was. The person would arrive there very soon.

“He wouldn’t be coming to the cultivation room right?” Heng Fei pondered to himself. He was hiding in the cultivation room and he thought that the person probably wouldn’t enter it to check.

Furthermore, the aura in the cultivation room was isolated and from the outside, one couldn’t make out what was happening.

“Wu Fengtian, come out!”

A lady’s loud yell filled the yard outside as rage filled her voice.

“Oh no!” Heng Fei immediately started to panic. This person’s voice didn’t sound nice and she had probably come to find Wu Fengtian. If things didn’t go her way, she might just barge into the cultivation room.

A brilliant idea crossed Heng Fei’s mind after he scratched his head and thought. Then, his eyes brightened with wonder.

“I got it!” Heng Fei found an idea that might work as a lightbulb went off in his head.

Before he could kill Wu Fengtian, he tore off the armor he was wearing and put on a green shirt which he retrieved from his storage ring.

Then he quickly left the cultivation room and rushed out of the cultivation room.

After closing the doors of the cultivation room, he sat cross-legged in front of the doors and closed his eyes.

Step! Step! Step!

The sounds of the footsteps got closer and the visitor quickly arrived at the palace. A green-shirted lady’s figure appeared in front of Heng Fei.

This lady was not tall but she was beautiful. With a clean, smooth complexion, she had a cute, oval-shaped face.

The lady was evidently a Sorcerer Tribe Member as there was the distinct mark of the Sorcerer Tribe trident on her forehead.

“Who are you?” The green-shirted lady walked into the palace and she was filled with suspicion the moment she spotted Heng Fei.

Heng Fei immediately opened his eyes as he stood up and bowed towards the green-shirted lady. In a deep voice, he said, “Your loyal servant here is Heng Fei!”

Heng Fei appeared calm but he was incredibly anxious. From the corner of his eyes, he carefully surveyed the green-shirted lady in front of him and his heart sunk instantly.

He could not sense this lady’s cultivation rank and that meant that he could not deal with her.

“Heng Fei?”

The green-shirted lady frowned as she surveyed Heng Fei with her bright eyes. Thereafter, she demanded, “Who are you? Why are you here?”

“I am Master Fengtian’s slave and I was ordered to guard this place!” Heng Fei answered as he remained in a bow. He appeared to be as respectful as a slave should be.

However, his heart was beating furiously against his chest. That was because he didn’t know the culture of the Sorcerer Tribe and he didn’t know whether they had a tradition of keeping slaves.

“So he finally gets it!” The green-shirted lady softly chuckled to himself. Wu Fengtian had always kept human slaves for himself but they had always been young girls.

These young female slaves had been killed by her, and now it seemed that Wu Fengtian had learnt his lesson to not keep female slaves anymore.

However, the cultivation rank of the slave that Wu Fengtian kept was not bad. The green-shirted lady could see that Heng Fei was a Rank 1 Martial Honorable.

“Is he in the cultivation room? Get him to come out, I want to speak with him!”

The green-shirted lady glanced around the cultivation room as she coldly spoke. Thereafter, she found a wooden chair in the palace and sat down on it.

“This… I am afraid that might not be possible.” Heng Fei hesitantly replied to the lady.

“What is wrong? Do you not know who I am? Delay anymore and I will cut off your tongue!” The green-shirted lady coldly fumed.

“My master is currently trying to break through to the Rank 8 Martial Honorable realm and he is about to succeed. He is at a very critical juncture and he cannot be disrupted now!”

Heng Fei said through gritted teeth. The moment the cultivation room door was opened, he would be exposed.

Right now, he could only pray his hardest to shake off the lady in front of him.

Heng Fei knew that Wu Fengtian was at the peak of the Rank 7 Martial Honorable Realm. After all, the attacks that Wu Fengtian had unleashed at the battle in Dark Mountain Iron Mine showed his strength.

“Break through to the Rank 8 Martial Honorable Realm!” The green-shirted lady’s eyes sparkled brightly as soon as she heard Heng Fei’s words. She nodded her head in satisfaction. Wu Fengtian had been stuck at the peak of the Rank 7 Martial Honorable Realm for a very long time and it was about time for him to break through.

“That’s good, I will wait for him here then!” The green-shirted lady lightly said as she prepared to wait for Wu Fengtian to finish with his break through.

Heng Fei’s heart sunk and he cursed under his breath. What could he do if she was going to wait there?

He quickly thought and tried to find an excuse to leave. The more time passed, the more trouble he was in.

After a few moments, Heng Fei thought of an idea and he quickly bowed towards the lady again, “Since the young mistress is here, I believe you will not let anyone disturb master in his cultivation. Master gave me a mission to do previously and I must proceed with it!”

“Go ahead!” The green-shirted lady did not think twice before she waved Heng Fei off.

Heng Fei secretly grinned before he bowed to the lady again and walked out of the palace.

With that, he continued out of Wu Fengtian’s palace without stopping.

“My god! That was dangerous!” As he walked down the city streets, Heng Fei mentally heaved a sigh of relief, knowing what he had just avoided.

His eyes scanned the surroundings. The pavement he was walking on was big and the city was huge. There were many Sorcerer Tribesmen there .

At the same time, there was also a large number of ordinary humans. Most wore regular green and grey clothes, hinting that their social status was low.

Not daring to slow down, Heng Fei walked towards the city gates.

A few moments later, he arrived at the entrance of the Cloud Sorcerer City but he did not rush out of it. Instead, he carefully took in the sights before him.

Although there were quite a number of Sorcerer Tribe guards at the gates, they only interrogated the men entering the city. Those who left the city were free to go.

“The heavens are helping me!”

Heng Fei jumped for joy and, without hesitation, he strode out of Cloud Sorcerer City as though everything was normal.

Once he was out of the city, Heng Fei rose and flew towards the sky.

Without stopping for a breather, Heng Fei flew for around half an hour before he arrived at the empty sky.

“This is a star of the Sorcerer Tribe where there are many Sorcerer Tribesmen. It will be hard for me to escape!” Heng Fei sighed to himself. Then, he continued to fly up towards the starry sky.

He didn’t know where the Star Teleportation Formation at this star was and he would not dare to delay any longer at such a dangerous place. He decided to proceed with the safest plan.

Shoosh!

Like an arrow shooting through the sky, Heng Fei shot through the nine heavens and quickly entered the starry sky above Heavenly Sorcerer Star.

Even after he reached the starry sky, Heng Fei continued to fly without stopping and he slowly left the Heavenly Sorcerer Star behind him.

A full day later, Heng Fei finally stopped. He stood alone in a vast, dark starry sky.

Shoosh!

With a wave of his hand, Su Mo appeared beside Heng Fei and lay down peacefully in the air.

“Brother Su, I obeyed your orders and successfully brought you out!” Heng Fei sighed exasperatedly.

With that, Heng Fei stopped at his spot and quietly waited for Su Mo to wake up.
