Warrior's Promise

When Su Mo heard what Ming Han had said, he became silent. Be it about Gongcheng Tai Hao, Sky Tyrant Clan, or Ling Chang, everything was getting urgent.

“Let’s go back!”

Su Mo sighed. He then called out to everyone and headed toward the star where Shang Qing Palace was located.

When Ming Han saw that Su Mo had flown off, he quickly followed behind him.

“Senior Brother Shangguan, you are so powerful. Have you ever thought of going for the King Sage Board?”Qu Ya asked excitedly as she flew beside Su Mo.

She hoped that Shangguan Hao would be interested in her. If that happened, it would be a great joy for her.

“Not interested!” Su Mo replied flatly. Even if he was not the most powerful King Sage in the Dark Region, he did not have the desire to be listed on the King Sage Board.

Previously, Su Mo had gone to the Dark Region King Sage Hall in the hope of seeing the power of Gongcheng Tai Hao. However, he did not get the chance to see it.

“Senior Brother Shangguan, it will be a great honor to be listed on the King Sage Board. Given your strength, you will have no problem getting into the top three positions!” Qu Ya said. Su Mo was powerful and Qu Ya believed that he could easily get into the top three positions.

Moreover, Su Mo was currently an End Realm Martial Sage. He could easily grow to the Peak and surpass Gongcheng Tai Hao.

Su Mo did not respond to Qu Ya. He looked indifferent and continued to move on.

He already knew that Qu Ya was a social climber.

“Senior Brother Shangguan, after we get back to the sect, can you give me some pointers?” Qu Ya asked as she looked charmingly at Su Mo.

“It’s better that you ask Ming Han to guide you!” Su Mo turned her down.

Qu Ya frowned and became angry when Su Mo rejected her. She had made her intention known to Su Mo, but he had turned her down.

Is Su Mo not interested in her?

Qu Ya wondered in her heart. She stopped asking Su Mo since Su Mo did not like her.

No one spoke during the journey. After around two months, they returned to Star Qingzu.

Qu Ya and the others went back to report to Shang Qing Palace while Su Mo found an excuse to get away from them.

He did not go far and he hid in a deserted mountain near Shang Qing Palace.

As Su Mo sat cross-legged in the secluded valley, he released his spiritual senses to engulf Shang Qing Palace like an invisible curtain.

He was cautious as there were many masters in Shang Qing Palace.

However, as he had great mental strength, those Rank 1 Empty Gods would not notice his spiritual senses.

Very quickly, Su Mo’s spiritual senses went into Shang Qing Palace.

He saw many disciples, including Ming Han, Qu Ya, and the rest.

The First Elder was in the Palace, pacing up and down. He looked gravely at Ming Han and the rest, questioning them. Su Mo swept past them and he did not pay much attention to them.

He knew that Ming Han and the rest must have told the First Elder that he had killed Li Hong.

Yes! Su Mo was elated. The First Elder was a Rank 1 Empty God but he did not notice Su Mo’s spiritual senses.

Su Mo checked around cautiously and he found three other Rank 1 Empty Gods. Their auras were similar to that of the First Elder.

Rank 2!

Soon, Su Mo sensed a strong and deep aura. That should be a Rank 2 Empty God Realm master.

He did not use his spiritual senses to check on the Rank 2 Empty God Realm master as he was afraid of being found out.

His spiritual senses went past the master and he continued to tread on carefully. Soon, Su Mo found another, more powerful master and he did not check on him. He took another path to avoid the master.

Very quickly, Su Mo had checked the entire Shang Qing Palace but he did not see Ling Chang around.

Is she not at Shang Qing Palace? Su Mo looked grave. He did not believe it and he did another check. However, he still could not find Ling Chang.

Where could she have gone to? Su Mo thought to himself. Ling Chang should be at her weakest state.

She must be hiding somewhere to recover her cultivation level.

Su Mo became anxious. If he could not locate Ling Chang soon, there would be trouble.

“Eh?”

Su Mo was suddenly taken aback and a light flashed across his eyes.

It was not because he had found Ling Chang but because An Jian had sent news over to him.

Su Mo immediately shut his eyes to sense the message that had been sent to him.

As it was only a Mental Stigma, Su Mo could only try to make out An Jian’s message.

Gongcheng Tai Hao is back!

Su Mo widened his eyes all of a sudden and a sharp ray shot out from his eyes.

An Jian had sent the news to Su Mo to inform him that Gongcheng Tai Hao was back to Sky Tyrant Clan.

“He is finally back!” Su Mo muttered. He felt his blood starting to surge.

He had to fight Gongcheng Tai Hao and it would be a life-and-death fight.

Su Mo knew that Gongcheng Tai Hao was not the Original Soul. If Su Mo could devour Gongcheng Tai Hao, he would become stronger to fend against the Original Soul.

That would be a life-and-death fight and it was not a matter of merging.

Su Mo thought through quickly. Sky Tyrant Clan would soon know that he was at Shang Qing Palace and they would be taking action soon.

However, Su Mo had no idea what the Sky Tyrant Clan intended to do.

The Sky Tyrant Clan would definitely look for him, whether it was due to Li Hong’s death or for the sake of Gongcheng Tai Hao.

Shang Qing Palace was no match for Sky Tyrant Clan and they would definitely cut their ties with Su Mo.

Su Mo pondered how he could intensify the feud between Sky Tyrant Clan and Shang Qing Palace. If the two parties got into a fierce fight, Ling Chang would then be forced to show up.

Su Mo was ambitious. He wanted to settle two issues in one go. He wanted to devour Gongcheng Tai Hao and at the same time, suppress Ling Chang and wipe away her past lives’ memories.

However, it was not an easy task and there were many obstacles. Su Mo was no match for Sky Tyrant Clan and Shang Qing Palace.

He went into deep thought and kept thinking of solutions.

At the same time, he passed down instruction to An Jian to check on Sky Tyrant Clan’s movements.

…

Sky Tyrant Star, at Sky Tyrant Clan.

In an ancient stone palace, an elder from Sky Tyrant Clan was sitting on a Futon, looking impassively at the young man who was sitting in front of him.

The elder was in a simple robe, and he looked stern. He sat still as a mountain, and his muscular body made him look powerful.

The young man who was sitting opposite the elder was in robes with silver lining at the hem, and he looked impressive.

The young man was from Sky Tyrant Clan and he looked muscular. Even when he sat on the floor, he seemed taller than the ordinary people.

The young man looked extraordinary. He had a determined look with defined features and his eyes were bright and captivating.

“Clan Leader, where is this person?” The young man asked eagerly as he looked at the elder.
