Warrior's Promise

After Su Mo had left Ming Yue City, he went straight to Ultimate Sword Domain.

He was confident as he possessed the Heaven Illusionary Pill.

As he flew, Su Mo spent his time comprehending the Devouring Rules. He couldn’t slack on it as he was about to advance to Rank 3.

Once he advanced to Rank 3, his overall strength would be enhanced.

After more than one month, Su Mo’s Devouring Rules had reached Rank 3 Beginning Stage. He had moved on to a greater height.

I wonder how powerful my Devouring Rules are at the moment!

As Su Mo was flying, he thought to himself. Before he had been to Spatiotemporal City, his Devouring Rules were only at the Rank 1 Completion Stage. Now that he had advanced to Rank 3 Beginning Stage, there was a vast difference.

For the Rank 3 Devouring Rules, if one were to combine it with the Sword Art, its power would be awesome.

However, Su Mo did not try it out and he put away the thought and focused on his journey.

After a few months of traveling, he was back to Ultimate Sword Domain. When he entered Ultimate Sword Domain, he treaded on cautiously.

Instead of flying high, he started to fly low to avoid catching the attention of the people.

After he went into a city, he secretly checked on the situation of the Great Sword Sepulcher.

It was after Su Mo had asked around that he realized that the Great Sword Sepulcher was indeed a place of treasures.

The Great Sword Sepulcher was not far from Holy Sword Mountain and it was a forbidden place. Even the Supreme Beings dared not step into it.

It would only be opened once every 100 years when the geniuses could enter without obstruction.

That said, the Great Sword Sepulcher was a place to test the gifted geniuses. Those who were not gifted geniuses were not allowed to enter.

Only those geniuses who were below 1,000 years old could enter the Great Sword Sepulcher. The greater one’s strength was, the lower the risk. On the other hand, if one was not powerful enough, the place would be full of danger for him.

Those gifted geniuses who could walk out of the Great Sword Sepulcher would have their strengths enhanced and they could move on to a higher level.

As for the actual situation at the Great Sword Sepulcher, Su Mo was unable to get any information on it. However, that did not matter to him as he would have found out about it after he got in.

I presume there will be no Supreme Beings around!

Su Mo thought to himself as he walked on the vast piece of land. The Great Sword Sepulcher would attract the gifted geniuses from the regions but it would not appeal to the Supreme Beings.

In that case, he would be unlikely to get into any danger.

The only risk that he would come across would be the time when he had to pass the Primordial Spirit to Ling Chang. After all, he could not send a message to her.

There were more than two months before the Great Sword Sepulcher opened and Su Mo thought of using the free time that he had to pass the Primordial Spirit to Ling Chang.

With that thought in mind, Su Mo moved in the direction of Holy Sword Mountain.

After a few days, Su Mo was not far from Holy Sword Mountain. He looked out and saw Holy Sword Mountain and the city which was at the foot of the mountain.

He stopped flying and went into hiding.

He was waiting for the disciples from Ultimate Supreme Being Palace to pass by the area. It would be great if the disciples were from Ling Chang Sword Palace so that they could help him pass the message to Ling Chang.

The place where Su Mo was hiding was not far from Holy Sword Mountain and the disciples would pass by the route. Soon, Su Mo saw his target.

The disciple was an ordinary-looking lady who was in a long emerald dress.

She did not have a high cultivation level and she was a Rank 2 Lower True God. She had a waist badge on her which proved her identity as a disciple of Ultimate Supreme Being Palace.

It was apparent that the lady was returning to Holy Sword Mountain

Swoosh!

Su Mo shot up to the sky and blocked the lady’s path.

“Who are you?”

When the lady saw Su Mo, she was shocked. She immediately took out her sword and became wary of Su Mo.

“Miss, do not be alarmed! I need a favor from you!” Su Mo stopped in front of the lady and said with a smile.

“What is it?” The lady asked as she sized Su Mo up. She was unable to find out anything except that Su Mo had a higher cultivation level than her.

“Miss, may I know which palace you belong to?” Su Mo asked.

“Ling Chang Sword Palace.” The lady replied, looking wary. However, she was not the least bit worried as she was near Holy Sword Mountain. Holy Sword Mountain would be alerted if they were to get into a fight.

“Great! I need your help and I will give you 10,000 Middle-grade Dawn Stones as your reward!” Su Mo said.

“What am I supposed to do?” The lady could not make up her mind. 10,000 Middle-grade Dawn Stones was a large amount but it depended on the task that she had to carry out.

“It is very simple. You simply have to inform Ling Chang Palace Master that Gongcheng Tai Hao is waiting for her here!” Su Mo said with a smile.

As a safety precaution, he did not tell the lady that he was Qin Yun or Su Mo.

He had used the name of Gongcheng Tai Hao as only Ling Chang knew about this name.

“Is that all I have to do?” The lady was surprised. It was a simple task and yet she had been offered 10,000 Middle-grade Dawn Stones!

“Yes, it is that simple. I just need you to help me pass the message!” Su Mo nodded.

“Alright. I will pass the message on for you!” The lady nodded without giving much thought to it.

Anyway, it was a simple task.

She reckoned that Su Mo must be facing some problems and he could not go to Holy Sword Mountain but it had nothing to do with her.

By simply passing on the message, she could easily earn 10,000 Middle-grade Dawn Stones, which was a great deal.

“Here are the 10,000 Water Based Middle-grade Dawn Stones!”

Su Mo turned his palm over and a storage ring appeared. He did not give it to the lady immediately but instructed her, “Miss, please keep this a secret and do not tell anyone about it!”

“Oh?” The lady was curious when she heard it. How is this guy related to Ling Chang Palace Master? Do they share a secret?

However, she did not ask Su Mo any questions as she knew that she would not get any information out of him. She nodded and said, “I promise not to tell anyone about it!”

“Great!” Su Mo smiled and tossed the storage ring to her.

The lady caught ahold of the storage ring and after checking on it, she verified that there were 10,000 Water Based Middle-grade Dawn Stones in it.

“I shall leave now!”

The lady cupped her fist and did not stay on. She immediately flew toward Holy Sword Mountain.

Su Mo took a deep breath. He hoped that the lady would carry out her task. After all, all she had to do was to pass a message.

In a flash, Su Mo left and hid nearby.

He was cautious. If the lady had told someone else about him, he could run away at any time.

After around 15 minutes, Su Mo saw Ling Chang at the spot where he had stopped the lady.

Great!

Su Mo was elated. He immediately showed up and flew toward Ling Chang.

When Ling Chang saw Su Mo flying toward her and revealing a bit of his actual aura, she recognized him immediately.

“What has happened?” When Su Mo was near her, Ling Chang asked with a frown.

When Ling Chang received the message from the disciple, she came over immediately.

“This is not a good place to talk. Let’s go!” In a flash, Su Mo went in the opposite direction of Holy Sword Mountain without explaining anything to Ling Chang.

Although Ling Chang was baffled by his actions, she followed him.

After flying for an hour, the two of them left Holy Sword Mountain and landed in a deserted mountain.

“Su… Qin Yun, what has happened?”

Ling Chang asked Su Mo as she gave Su Mo a bewildered look. She could not understand why Su Mo was behaving mysteriously.

“Is Zi Xiao Supreme Being following you?” Su Mo looked around and did not respond to her question.

“No. Zi Xiao is in seclusion.” Ling Chang said and shook her head.

“Great!” Su Mo heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Ling Chang’s reply. After a while, he smiled and said, “I am here to present a gift to you!”

“Why are you afraid to return to Holy Sword Mountain?” Ling Chang did not ask about the gift but about Su Mo.

She had been in seclusion and had not paid any attention to Su Mo. Thus, she had no idea what had happened to him.

“I have killed a few disciples of the Ultimate Supreme Being Palace and thus I don’t think I will return to Holy Sword Mountain.” Su Mo sighed. He had expected Holy Sword Mountain to learn about Xu Yan’s death.

“Have you killed a few disciples?” Ling Chang frowned when she heard it. For the past few years, nothing had been heard of it in Holy Sword Mountain and everything was peaceful.

“Did you not hear about it?” Su Mo was puzzled. How could Ling Chang not know about it when a few disciples had been killed!

“I had never heard anything about it!” Ling Chang shook her head.

Su Mo found it bewildering. He has killed four disciples but Ling Chang knows nothing about it. Has it been swept under the carpet?
