Warrior's Promise

Su Mo and the trio travelled together and they landed on the vast piece of open ground at the bottom of the Spatiotemporal City.

At the same time, Luo Yu looked at Su Mo and said coldly, “You are Duan Jingtian? We are not the same kind of people, please do not follow us!”

Su Mo was stunned. However, since he was unwelcome, he would not stick with them.

“Since this is the case, I shall take my leave!” Su Mo bowed and quickly made an exit.

“This…!” Qin’er was speechless.

After all, he had agreed to travel together. Now Luo Yu had the nerve to chase him away.

Instantly she looked at Luo Yu and grumbled, “Sister Luo Yu, I promised him. You have made me lose face!”

When Luo Yu heard her accusation, she shook her head in resignation. She warned, “Qin’er, I know you are trying to make friends. However you have to be discerning and recognise that people with different social status, different abilities, have different circles. You and him are not of the same kind!”

“Qin’er, you are too naive!”

Chu Yan nodded, “This man is like a lowly ant. I can see that he has an ulterior motive. If this place were not Sky Pool Holy Court, I would have been nasty to him!”

Chu Yan sighed. Qin’er was too young and naive. Furthermore, she had little travel experience. Hence, she did not know the depth of one’s evil.

He reckoned that the guy Duan Jingtian could have been attracted by Qin’er’s and Luo Yu’s beauty and wanted to make friends with them.

Or perhaps he already knew their true identities and would like to play up to people of power and influence.

“You are being overly cautious!”

Qin’er had no choice. She shook her hand and relented. “Okay, I will listen to you both. Let’s return to the Human Palace now!”

“Alright! Let’s go!” Luo Yu and Chu Yan nodded in unison.

Almost immediately, the trio left the Void City and headed in the direction of the Reincarnation Holy Court.

…

Su Mo circled the Void City and he sold all his treasures to a shop.

He did not have many treasures with him. They fetched him severn thousand inferior stones.

However, the inferior stones from the Deity Plane were of better quality than the best stones from the God’s Path.

Obviously, because of the need to practise the energy of the Five Elements, Su Mo had demanded all the stones to be of the Five Elements Stones.

Subsequently, Su Mo left the Void City and headed in the direction of the Reincarnation Holy Court.

In order to save time, he took his sword along so that he could practise while he was on the road.

Previously, he had found out that within the various courts on the Deity Plane, there were Transporting Formation Arrays. However, they were exorbitant.

Moreover, there were risks involved in the Transporting Formation Arrays. He could not afford to leave behind any trace that he had headed for the Reincarnation Holy Court.

Su Mo was clear that he needed to disguise his identity when he reached the Reincarnation Holy Court. He needed to be extra vigilant.

And there was one more thing. To be prudent, he needed to keep a distance from Di Yihun and Tuoba Qingyun.

Whenever Di Yihun and Tuoba Qingyun were around, he could not appear. Not even under a disguise.

Su Mo hastened his pace. His mind was still seeking enlightenment on the Devouring Ultimacy. He had intended to accomplish the completion of this enlightenment. And together with the enlightenment achieve on the Devouring Rules, he would be able to attain the realm of a True God.

Simultaneously, he always had a stone in his hand so that he could assimilate the energy stored inside the stones.

To strengthen his Sage Pill to increase the power of the Chaotic Energy.

Time passed swiftly.

In a flash, two years had passed.

Over the two years, Su Mo travelled smoothly. He was able to avoid dangers while travelling.

“It will be soon!”

Su Mo opened his eyes and looked at the vastness beyond the land and muttered to himself.

The Sky Pool Holy Court and the Reincarnation Holy Court were connected. However, the Spatiotemporal Region and the Reincarnation Holy Court were also in proximity.

Su Mo reckoned that he would be able to reach the Reincarnation Holy Court within half a year.

Su Mo sighed. All his resources were depleted. He had used up all his Spiritual Stones.

It had been a long time since he felt so poor.

However, he had reservations about using the Devouring Primordial Spirit to devour the energies of the heavens and earth.

If someone discovered his Primordial Spirit, he would be doomed.

Su Mo continued his flight to hurry back towards the Reincarnation Holy Court.

This day, he saw three familiar shadows belonging to Chu Yan and his team.

Su Mo opened his eyes and expressed surprise. After such a long time, he could still meet up with the trio. That showed that they had been travelling along the same route.

At the same time that Su Mo discovered Chu Yan and his companions, they also discovered Su Mo trailing behind.

“Oh! That Duan Jingtian is behind us?” Qin’er was shocked.

“Stubborn!” Luo Yu pulled down her pretty face and set a cold expression.

They had been travelling and stopping at a leisurely speed. They had not expected Su Mo to have caught up with them.

“Ridiculous!”

Chu Yan turned to look at Su Mo and his eyes flashed a cold glare. The lowly ant had been following them.

“Qin’er, Luo Yu. Do move ahead. I will go and teach this guy a lesson!” Chu Yan stopped and turned around to wait for Su Mo.

“No, Brother Chu Yan. How could you do so?” Qin’er halted as she heard Chu Yan’s words.

To her, Duan Jingtian did not look like a villain. He had merely wanted to return to the Reincarnation Holy Court to practise his skills.

“Let’s travel together!” Luo Yu stopped and she had intended to see what tricks Duan Jingtian might have up his sleeve.

If the man harboured an ulterior motive, they would not spare his life.

They had also discovered that Su Mo’s cultivation had reached Rank 4 Empty God Realm.

They stood still in the sky and waited patiently for Su Mo to catch up.

When Su Mo saw this, he kept up his speed and flew towards the trio.

Within moments, his shadow halted near the trio.

“Hello, what do you want from me?” Su Mo kept his Slayer Sword and lifted his body. He greeted the trio.

“Young man, you have been trailing us. Are you courting your own death?”

Chu Yan yelled and he activated his energy getting ready to fight.

“Give us a reason, or else we shall strike!” Luo Yu said coldly.

Qin’er was reticent and she watched Su Mo.

Su Mo heard the words and he frowned. Were they crazy?

They were merely travelling along the same route but the duo thought that he had been following them?

What a ridiculous assumption!

“Do you not know that I am going over to the Reincarnation Holy Court?”

Su Mo scanned the duo and spoke plainly. He continued, “I have been travelling slowly and that’s why I am trailing behind. If you guys are not in a hurry, please excuse me!”

Having said that, Su Mo passed the trio and headed towards his destination.

“What?”

Chu Yan and Luo Yu were stunned for a while.

The man was direct, could it be that they were just travelling on the same route?

“Brother Chu Yan and Sister Luo Yu. Let’s not make things difficult. He did mention that he was returning to the Reincarnation Holy Court the last time we were at the Void City,” Qin’er reminded the duo.
