Warrior's Promise

Chapter 2483: Can’t Forgive

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

Su Mo, the Ultimate Supreme Being, and Yu Xuzi entered the Reincarnation Holy Court while they were chasing after the golden bird.

The three of them had been chasing and flying for more than three hours when the golden bird, transformed from runes, slowly came to a stop. It fluttered its wings in the air.

“Could it be here?” Yu Xuzi looked down. All around them was a vast patch of land, filled with overgrowth. There was no one around.

“No one’s here!” Su Mo frowned slightly. There was not a single beast in sight, let alone a person, unless they were hiding in the depths of the earth.

“Should be somewhere around here!”

The Ultimate Supreme Being’s eyes snapped like electricity and looked in all directions. He said, “Yu Xuzi, your granddaughter’s under a spell. She will not be found so easily. My tracking methods may be advanced, but it will only get us the approximate location. The exact spot cannot be determined.

“Approximate location? How big is that?” Yu Xuzi asked. Was it within a thousand-mile radius? Ten thousand? Or even bigger?

“Should be… within a few hundred thousand miles!” The Ultimate Supreme Being said, sounding unsure. He himself was uncertain of its size.

But he knew for sure the range would not be too big. It certainly would not exceed a million miles because if it did then this spell would fail, and the golden bird would not appear.

“Within a few hundred thousand miles?” Yu Xuzi said, looking rather solemn upon hearing that. He was not too disappointed, however, since it was not easy to get an approximate location to begin with.

His only concern now was whether the one holding Chi’er hostage knew that the two fighters working for him had been captured.

If he knew, then his granddaughter Chi’er would be in grave danger.

Su Mo looked equally as solemn. How were they going to search a few hundred thousand miles? With a blanket search?

The Ultimate Supreme Being was void of expression. His divine thoughts had already scattered like tide water, covering the range.

“This area, in addition to the wilderness, has a total of four cities. One of them happens to be the Heavenly City,” the Ultimate Supreme Being murmured.

“The Heavenly City? Where the Heavenly Palace lies?” Su Mo said, slightly startled. If this was the case, then the matter at hand was absolutely connected with the Heavenly Palace.

“Exactly where the Heavenly Palace lies!” The Ultimate Supreme Being nodded and said. “I reckon that this matter should be related to the Heavenly Palace, and the person we’re looking for should be in there.”

Su Mo stayed silent. There was indeed a possibility that his granddaughter could be in the Heavenly Palace, but there was no way they could save her.

“Senior, what should we do?” Yu Xuzi asked hurriedly. Even though he did not know the Ultimate Supreme Being’s true identity, the man was of a supreme level, so he had to respectfully refer to the man as ‘senior’.

The Ultimate Supreme Being stayed silent too. In Heavenly palace, there would be many other supreme level beings. Not only would there be Tian Junhe, an Advanced Supreme Being, there would be Tian Ganglei as well, also an Advanced Supreme Being.

Not to mention Di Yihun, whose power was comparable to an Advanced Supreme Being’s.

“That’s not right!”

Suddenly, a dazzling light flashed in the eyes of the Ultimate Supreme Being. It was extremely alarming.

“What happened?” Su Mo asked, surprised.

“Not many know about Ling Chang’s connection with the Empty Jade Sect, even in the Ultimate Supreme Being Palace. It happened so long ago, how would the Heavenly Palace know? Furthermore, how did the Heavenly Palace know they could find you by using Ling Chang as bait?” The Ultimate Supreme Being’s expression grew serious, as though he had just thought of something.

“This is indeed suspicious!” Su Mo nodded in agreement.

I suspect Zi Xiao is behind this, and he could be hiding in Heavenly Palace!” The Ultimate Supreme Being squinted.

There were few in the Ultimate Supreme Being Palace who knew about Ling Chang’s connection with the Empty Jade Sect. Zi Xiao was one of the more familiar ones.

Moreover, in the beginning, Zi Xiao had done so many things in secret in order to get the Ultimate Sword Art and Ultimate Holy Sword. It would make sense to use this strategy.

“Zi Xiao?” Su Mo said after a light flashed in his mind. This person could be the culprit. After all, he had used this method before, that time when he had taken Qian Xunyue hostage to threaten him.

It was just that, according to Yu Xuzi, the one who took his granddaughter hostage was a ninth-grade fighter. Could it be that Zi Xiu had changed his practices and appearance, or had he instructed someone to do his bidding?

When Yu Xuzi heard the conversation between the Ultimate Supreme Being and Su Mo, he had gotten a fright too. Naturally he knew Zi Xiao and Ling Chang.

At that moment, he involuntarily made a guess as to Su Mo’s and the Ultimate Supreme Being’s identity. A violent storm raged within him.

Yet he did not show it he knew as he pretended otherwise. After all, he only had to rescue his granddaughter. He would not get involved with anything else.

“Senior, if it’s really Zi Xiao, what do you plan to do?” Su Mo asked.

“Not sure yet, but if we make demands directly, the Heavenly Palace will surely deny it!” the Ultimate Supreme Being said. If Zi Xiao was truly hiding in the Heavenly Palace, it would be very secretive. The Heavenly Palace would never admit it.

“Wait, senior. Let me scout ahead!” Su Mo said.

“How?” the two companions asked curiously at the same time. They did not understand what Su Mo could do.

“I have a spy in the Heavenly Palace!” Su Mo grinned. With a turn of his palm, he produced a communication seal and began to send a message to Jiang Fengran.

Jiang Fengran was currently a disciple at the Heavenly Palace, and one who was heavily valued. Surely he could yield some results.

Quickly, Su Mo finished sending the message, telling Jiang Fengran to look for Zi Xiao within the Heavenly Palace.

“If that’s the case, then let’s wait quietly!” the Ultimate Supreme Being said. With that, he waved his sleeves again, and the golden bird before them disappeared into thin air. He held onto Su Mo and Yu Xuzi, then flew towards the forest not far away.

The Heavenly Palace was a treacherous place. No one could get to close to it without being easily exposed.

If he had not been afraid of exposure, he would have used his divine thoughts to sneak into the Heavenly Palace and saved all the trouble.

In a few moments, they traveled several thousand miles and came to a forest where they each settled down to meditate as they waited patiently for news.

Jiang Fengran replied after two days of waiting.

Buzz~~

As the communication seal trembled, Su Mo took it out and, clearing his mind, he could hear Jiang Fengran’s thoughts.

“Su Mo, Zi Xiao isn’t in the Heavenly Palace. I can’t find him. But recently there have been strangers coming in and out of the Palace. I heard he’s called Chu Tian, a ninth-grade practitioner who keeps a low profile!”

“Chu Tian?” Su Mo slightly frowned when he received Jiang Fengran’s information. Who was this Chu Tian?

“What’s the situation?” the Ultimate Supreme Being asked hurriedly. He was much more agitated than Yu Xuzi when it came to matters about Zi Xiao.

Once he had captured Zi Xiao, Su Mo would willingly blend his Primordial Spirit.

“It’s like this…” Su Mo told his companions everything that Jiang Fengran had told him.

“Chu Tian?”

The Ultimate Supreme Being mumbled. With an icy glare, he guessed, “Could it be Chu Tianxu?”

When he heard the name, the Ultimate Supreme Being immediately thought of Chu Tianxu, who was related to Zi Xiao.

Chu Tianxu was a disciple in the Ultimate Supreme Being Palace, under Zi Xiao Sword Palace. Zi Xiao deeply valued him. When Zi Xiao left the Ultimate Supreme Being Palace, it would be reasonable to take Chu Tianxu with him.

However, neither he nor anyone else in Ultimate Supreme Being Palace knew that Chu Tianxu would defect with Zi Xiao. After all, many disciples often left the Palace and would not come back for several years, or even several decades. That was the norm.

“Who is Chu Tianxu?” Yu Xuzi asked.

“A disciple of Zi Xiao Sword Palace, highly valued by Zi Xiao, who also happens to be a ninth-grade practitioner!” said the Ultimate Supreme Being. He was not replying Yu Xuzi. Rather, he was informing Su Mo.

“A ninth-grade practitioner such as him very well could be holding Chi’er hostage!” Yu Xuzi said solemnly.

“If that’s the case, we can’t forgive both him and Zi Xiao!” Su Mo said coldly, a strong murderous intention lingering in his voice.
