Warrior's Promise

Su Mo sat on a meteorite that was about the length of 15 meters in the starry sky.

He was far away from Star Qingzu as he knew that Shang Qing Palace would be looking for him after he had killed Li Hong.

In order to prevent Shang Qing Palace from controlling him, he had left Star Qingzu.

The Dark Force in Su Mo’s body surged and circulated around his body as he cultivated.

Are they there?

After some time, Su Mo slowly opened his eyes. A sharp light then flashed across.

An Jian had sent the news to him that a group of top powers from Sky Tyrant Clan had left Sky Tyrant Star.

That was to say, Sky Tyrant Clan would soon be at Shang Qing Palace.

I shall play it by ear! Su Mo sighed. It would not be easy for him to devour Gongcheng Tai Hao or suppress Ling Chang.

Gongcheng Tai Hao had Sky Tyrant Clan to back him up and it was not easy to defeat him. Su Mo could not show up rashly.

As for Ling Chang, that would depend on the actions taken by the Sky Tyrant Clan. If Sky Tyrant Clan came down hard on Shang Qing Palace, Ling Chang might be forced to show up.

I have to enhance my strength quickly! Su Mo took a deep breath and waved his hand. A large number of Spiritual Crystals then appeared before him.

At that moment, it was impossible for him to advance to the Martial Sage Great Completion Realm. However, if he could advance to the Peak of End Realm, it would greatly enhance his combat strength.

Buzz! Buzz!

Su Mo activated his Devouring Fighting Soul and he started to devour the Spiritual Crystals. As he did so, his cultivation level moved up.

Time passed slowly. Three days later, Su Mo stopped cultivating.

“I have exhausted too many Spiritual Crystals!”

Su Mo sighed. In order for him to enhance his cultivation level, he had to use a large number of Spiritual Crystals.

In any case, he had advanced to the Peak of End Realm.

Su Mo then turned his palm over and three purplish-gold Black Biting Bugs appeared.

“Go!”

Su Mo muttered. The Black Biting Bugs shot out like three tiny arrows toward Star Qingzu.

Sky Tyrant Clan would soon reach Shang Qing Palace and Su Mo had to be aware of the situation.

It was not convenient for him to show up and he could only use the Black Biting Bugs as his spies.

It was amazing that Su Mo had around 10,000 Black Biting Bugs that had evolved into purplish-gold bugs.

There was a handful of bugs that had started to turn to pure gold as the purplish color on their body started to fade away.

However, Su Mo’s Ancient Demon’s medulla had been exhausted.

The power of his Winged Insect Sword had surpassed that of an ordinary Middle Sage Class Weapon and it was only slightly less powerful than an Upper Sage Class Weapon.

Su Mo intended to let the Black Biting Bugs devour the medulla of the True Demon Tribe after he returned to Infinite Region. He hoped that the Bugs would evolve further.

After all, True Demon Tribe was the descendant of the Ancient Demon and their medulla should be able to help the Black Biting Bugs evolve.

After Su Mo had made the necessary arrangements, he started to work on his cultivation again. He condensed his Chaotic Energy to solidify the foundation of his new cultivation level.

Time passed quickly, and days flew by.

After some time, Su Mo opened his eyes and a sharp light flashed across.

“They have reached it!” Su Mo muttered. The top powers from Sky Tyrant Clan had reached Star Qingzu.

…

Shang Qing Palace looked peaceful.

Boom!

Suddenly, there was a blast in the sky. A mighty aura came down from the sky, pressing down on Shang Qing Palace.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Some figures flew across the horizon and in an instant, they were above Shang Qing Palace.

Those people were from Sky Tyrant Clan and Li Zun was taking the lead.

The eight top powers from Sky Tyrant Clan exuded a strong aura that was mighty like the ocean.

“Yue Hai, come out!”

Li Zun’s eyes were bright, and his white hair flew about in the wind. He looked like a deity that had come down from heaven, and his power was overbearing.

His voice resounded in all corners like thunder and it shook the area.

Yue Hai was the Palace Master of Shang Qing Palace.

“It’s the men from Sky Tyrant Clan!”

“It’s the Clan Leader from Sky Tyrant Clan!”

“What is Sky Tyrant Clan up to?”

Many disciples from Shang Qing Palace were shocked. They started to cry out when they sensed the oppression that had exuded from the top powers of the Sky Tyrant Clan.

A loud noise then came out from the mountains at Shang Qing Palace.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Air-rending sounds broke out and many top powers from Shang Qing Palace rose up to the sky. They came before Li Zun and his men, looking shocked.

The one standing in front was a skinny elder with a stern look.

“Li Zun, what are you up to?” The elder looked at Li Zun and asked with a frown.

Although he had asked the question, he already knew the answer.

“Hoho! Yue Hai, your disciple has killed our genius and you are asking me what I am up to!?” Li Zun sneered and a cold light flashed across his eyes.

“Are you referring to Li Hong?” Yue Hai asked. Apparently, he already knew about it.

“Since you already know about it, should you not answer for what your disciple has done?” Li Zun said coldly.

“The one who killed Li Hong is Shangguan Hao and he is nowhere to be found!” Yue Hai said and shook his head.

“Yue Hai, are you treating me like a three-year-old kid?”

A killing intent flashed across Li Zun’s eyes and he shouted angrily, “Ming Han is involved in this as well so Shang Qing Palace has a hand in this. Don’t put the blame on someone else!”

Li Zun did not know that Su Mo was the one who had killed Li Hong.

After all, Xi Yuan did not know that Shangguan Hao was Su Mo.

“I am not trying to shirk off the responsibility. Shangguan Hao is not our disciple. He has sneaked into Shang Qing Palace and tried to frame us!” Yue Hai said. After Ming Han had returned to Shang Qing Palace, they had started to look for Shangguan Hao.

However, Shangguan Hao had disappeared and he was nowhere to be found.

“Let’s not talk about Shangguan Hao. In any case, Shang Qing Palace is involved in Li Hong’s death. How are you going to atone for your sin?” Li Zun asked. He looked impassive and he did not deal with Shang Qing Palace immediately.

Although Li Hong’s death was a serious matter, the reincarnated body was more important than him.

“What do you want me to do?” Yue Hai asked. Shang Qing Palace had played a part in Li Hong’s death.

It was the mission that had been passed down by the sect that had caused Li Hong to be killed.

Yue Hai wanted to resolve the matter amicably and he was willing to pay any price for that.

“I can forgive Shang Qing Palace for Li Hong’s death and I will not hold it against Ming Han. However, I have one request!” Li Zun said, after pondering for a while.

Ming Han, who was standing below, was watching the scene in the sky, looking pale. When he heard what Li Zun had said, he heaved a sigh of relief.

He was afraid as he knew that Shang Qing Palace was no match for Sky Tyrant Clan.

“What is your request?” Yue Hai squinted his eyes and asked. He did not look elated.

Li Hong held an important position in the Sky Tyrant Clan. Since Li Zun agreed not to pursue the matter, his request must be demanding.

The top powers from Shang Qing Palace looked at Li Zun and waited for him to put forth his request.

They hoped that the Sky Tyrant Clan would not make things difficult for them.

If it turned out to be so, Shang Qing Palace would fight it out with them even though Shang Qing Palace was not as powerful.

“Hand Su Mo over to us!” Li Zun said. His voice was deep and rich as it resounded through the area.
