Warrior's Promise

Seeing Su Mo leave hastily, Chu Yan retracted and turned to say to Qin’er, “Qin’er, I shall spare his life this time. However if he comes near us again, I shall not spare him!”

He turned to ask Luo Yu, “Luo Yu, what say you?”

“We agree as such!” Luo Yu nodded. She was a gentle lady and since Duan Jungian had left them alone, she had nothing to worry about.

“Brother Chu Yan, there is no need for such heightened security. Such a man, with his current cultivation in the Empty God Realm, is harmless!” Qin’er offered a smile.

She was not bothered by the perils as she knew that the three of them were superior in terms of skills and prowess over Su Mo.

“We cannot let our guard down!”

Chu Yan shook his head and decided to stop his nagging. “Let’s go!”

The three did not stay long and they continued their journey.

…

Within the skies, Su Mo quickened his pace to prevent Chu Yan and his team from catching up with him. His intention was to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.

However flying for a few good days, he found that Chu Yan and his team did not follow. He continued seeking enlightenment while he was travelling.

His Devouring Ultimacy had been completed at Level 8. His progress was at a good pace.

Another half a year had flown by, Su Mo had finally enter the borders of the Reincarnation Holy Court.

Once he entered the Reincarnation Holy Court, he made a descent and flew low.

He had come uninvited and he had to be careful in finding out the situation.

He flew for more than an hour and he finally discovered a small town at the foot of a mountain.

Therefore Su Mo flew towards the small town.

He stayed in the small town for half and hour before he left to continue his flying.

“Heavenly Palace, Earth Palace, Human Palace, Beast Palace, Demon Palace, Ghost Palace!”

Su Mo muttered softly. He went to the small town to find out many pieces of important information.

The town folks were of low cultivation. However, they had vast knowledge of the Reincarnation Holy Court.

There were six great palaces within the Reincarnation Holy Court. Besides the Heavenly Palace, Earth Palace and Human Palace, the three remaining palaces were Beast Palace, Demon Palace and Ghost Palace.

Heavenly, Earth and Human Palaces, were handled by human beings. The Beast Palace was governed by the Demon Clan. The Ghost Palace was unexpectedly governed by the Ghost Clan, which was ranked thirteen on the Ten Thousand Archean Tribe Board.

And the Demon Palace was not governed by the Demon Clan, instead it was the Human Clan who practised the Asura Demon Path.

The Six Great Palaces were distributed in six different directions within the Reincarnation Holy Court. They governed the entire Reincarnation Holy Court.

The most important was Di Yihun, who was in the Levelly Palace and Tuoba Qingyun, who was in the Earth Palace.

According to what Su Mo had found out, Tuoba Qingyun was born in the Earth Palace and he was the lineage of the Palace Master of the Earth Palace.

Therefore, the entire Earth Palace supported Tuoba Qingyun in his stand against Di Yihun.

According to sources, when Di Yihun was feeble, there had been many narrow escapes from the Earth Palace.

However as Di Yihun became more powerful and invincible, he was able to sustain his power.

And now, Di Yihun had grown up and was renowned in the entire Deity Plane. No one was able to take him down.

Di Yihun was the Grand Palace Master of the Heavenly Palace. His status was on par as the Palace Master of the Heavenly Palace. He could surpass the Palace Master in powers and had garnered the support of the entire Heavenly Palace.

And over the years, the Heavenly Palace and the Earth Palace had been at war. The underlying reason was naturally because of Di Yihun and Tuoba Qingyun.

However, at this point in time, the Earth Palace was not in good shape.

Because in the past, the other four palaces had been neutral.

Now the four palaces were gradually seeing eye to eye with the Heavenly Palace on many matters.

“That’s strange!”

Su Mo was puzzled and concerned. Di Yihun was the Reincarnation Original Soul. This matter was a widely known fact within the Reincarnation Holy Court.

However, the other four palaces had not given full support to Di Yihun. That was worth pondering.

“Does that mean that the other palaces wished for the return of the Reincarnation Heavenly Sovereign?”

Su Mo muttered. If that was the case, why had they not assisted Tuoba Qingyun? It was something puzzling to him.

“Unless the other palaces have not wished for the return of the Reincarnation Heavenly Sovereign?”

Su Mo muttered softly. If that was the case, they could have assisted Tuoba Qingyun to overpower Di Yihun. That would be a simple move.

If Di Yihun was alive, when he managed to become successful, the four palaces would be courting disaster.

However if they had intended to wait for the return of the Reincarnation Heavenly Sovereign, the other palaces would have deployed their warriors to help Di Yihun to defeat Tuoba Qingyun. That would be simple too.

Su Mo was unsure as he felt it was not logical.

However, Di Yishun’s existence was no secret. The identity of the Reincarnation Heavenly Sovereign was something every court would have known.

The warriors of the various courts were not concerned about this matter. That added on to the mystery of this matter.

It was as if that the Reincarnation Heavenly Sovereign had no friends nor enemies. Otherwise, how come no one was interested in interfering?

All of this was a mystery. And these mysteries might not be obvious to ordinary folks returning to the Reincarnation Holy Court.

“It’s somewhat ambiguous and mysterious!”

Su Mo heaved a breath and he knew that he needed to protect himself. He could only handle matters when he was strong.

No matter what secrets there might be and no matter what reasons they might have, he could not be merged by others.

Swoosh!

Su Mo quickened his speed and flew at low altitude. He moved hastily towards the Human Palace.

That was correct. He had intended to visit the Human Palace. The place where the trio Chu Yan, Qin’er and Luo Yu were from.

He had made this decision without consideration for the trio. He had made this decision with much contemplation.

Firstly, he decided that he could not have gone to the Heavenly Palace, nor the Earth Palace.

Secondly, the Beast Palace was filled with the Demon Clan, the Demon Palace was filled with practitioners of the Asura Demon Path, the Ghost Palace were filled with the Ghost Clan. If he had gone to these three Palaces it would be too obvious and he would be courting his own death.

Therefore, he could only go to the Human Palace.

The intention to go to the Human Palace was to garner their support.

This move was filled with peril and hence had to be executed in no rush. He needs to take it slowly.

Once there were deviations from his plans, he needed to leave immediately.

After all, he was unsure of the number of strong warriors inside the Human Palace.

Su Mo had found out enough information. The Human Palace was situated inside the Human City, at the east side of the Reincarnation Holy Court. It was rather powerful.

Within the Human Palace, there were a total of one Palace Master, two Deputy Palace Masters, ten Elders and thirty thousand disciples.

The Palace Master and Deputy Palace Masters, and all the Elders, were all warriors of the Supreme Beings.

And amongst the thirty thousand disciples were strong warriors.

However, the Human Palace was not a sectoral entity. It barely recruited disciples from the outside world.

The disciples were inheriting the values from the family elder generations. Most of them were the descendants of the warriors within the palace.

According to sources, within the Human Palace, there were thousands of families.

However, to ensure its subsistence and continuity, the Human Palace would still recruit outside talents.

Such recruitments were rare. Every twenty years, they would recruit once. Quotas were low.

“We are fifteen years away from recruiting disciples!”

Su Mo said in a low and soft voice. He considered himself unlucky. The next recruitment drive was fifteen years away.

And he could not wait for that fifteen years.

“Maybe that Qin’er lady can help me!” Su Mo thought about the petite, naive lady and he pondered hard.

That Chu Yan and Luo Yu would certainly refuse to assist him. However there might be a possibility with the Qin’er lady.

And at this moment, the trio were still behind him. They had yet to return to the Human Palace.

With such thoughts, Su Mo hastily moved towards the Human Palace.
