Warrior's Promise

Inside the belly of the baldman was an Ancient War Elephant. It was obscure and surrounded by destructive energy.

After being swallowed, the Divine Map was suppressed and refined byboundless force. It therefore shone even brighter to fight against the surrounding energy.

Su Mo had calmed down. He knew worrying would do little to help. What was to come would come eventually.

However, he sensed the Divine Map’s defense was strong enough to withstand the refining of this person.

Time flew, and the bald man was refining for three full hours with no progress at all. He did not even break through the defensiveformation ofthe Divine Map.

“What an amazing spacial device!”

exclaimed the bald man with surprise. “Could this be an Upper Imperial Spacial Device?” he wondered.

Spacial Devices differed from other weapons. Their rank could not be judged by appearance. However, the bald man guessed the treasure’s rankcould probably be as high as Upper Imperial level.

An ordinary Imperial Spacial Device could not be this powerful!

Shortly after, the bald man spat out the Divine Map.

He thought for a moment, stood up and walked out of the palace. Then, he flew to a nearby palace.

“Second brother, come out quickly!”

yelled the bald man after striding into the palace.

The palace was tranquil but shortly after a slight fluctuation in the surroundings, a middle-aged man appeared in front of the bald man.

This middle-aged man was in his thirties, had a slim figure and wore a black tight suit.

With a pair of triangular eyes giving off a sense of gloom. He looked super menacing as well.

“Third Younger Brother, weren’t you asleep? How did you wake up?” The middle-aged man looked at the bald man and his lips curled into a smirk.

“I’ve been sleeping for a thousand years! No more!”

The bald man casually laughed. “Second Brother, I found a treasure but couldn’t refine it. I came here to seek your help!”

“Oh? What treasure?” inquired the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was amazed becuase this treasure had been acknowledged by this Third Younger Brother, which meant it must be pretty impressive.

“This scroll is a spatial treasure!” explained the bald man. Then, he handed over the Divine Map to the middle-aged man.

“Spatial treasure?” whispered the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was intrigued. This type of treasure wasrare throughout the Firmament and Continent. No one in the current era knew how to refine it.

After taking over the Divine Map, the middle-aged man started to examine it.

“Second Brother, this map is extremely special. I couldn’t refine it even after several hours. Do you perhaps have a way?” asked the bald man.

The middle-aged man was silent. His eyes narrowed and his eyebrows became tightly knitted.

“Second Brother, don’t you also know how?” asked the surprised bald man whom noticed the frown.

No!

answered the middle-aged man. He shook his head and added, “I sense a familiaraura from this map!”

“A familiar aura?” muttered the bald man.

The stunned bald man asked, “How’s that possible? Do you know the owner of this map?”

The middle-aged man shook his head again and spoke flatly, “The aura is very weak but it is not weak enough to fool me. This is the aura of my kin!”

“What?”

The bald man was startled with widened eyes. He questioned incredulously, “Second Brother, could you probably be wrong? Are there stillany of your kin left in the entire Firmament and Continent?”

The bald man was shocked because his Second Brother possessed a noble bloodline. If indeed his kin were still alive, it would be a big deal!

“It can’t be wrong. This reaction comes from my bloodline!” Answered the middle-aged man.

Inside the Divine Map—

When Su Mo saw the middle-aged man in black suit, he felt more bitter. If this man has been refered to as Second Brother by the Ancient War Elephant, he could be stronger.

Hiss! Hiss!

That very moment, a purple light flashed in the sky and Lil Eight flew over a long distance to Su Mo’s side.

Lil Eight was always inside the Divine Map. It even dug a cave at the bottom of a mountain as its nest.

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

Lil Eight kept hissing and flying around Su Mo.

“What’s wrong?” asked confused Su Mo.

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

Lil Eight hissed a few more times and sent over a stream of mind messageto Su Mo.

“What? You want to go out?” Startled, Su Mo shook his head and added, “It’s very dangerous outside now. You absolutely cannot go out!”

Then Lil Eight sent over another stream of messageto Su Mo.

Su Mo was shocked after understanding that message.

“Your kin!”

Su Mo’s heart raced asLil Eight indicated it felt its kin’s aura.

The middle-agedman in black had earlier said he felt the aura of his kin.

Seriously!

Were this middle-aged man and Lil Eight related?

That meant the middle-aged man’s real body was an Eight-winged Drake!

Su Mo was scared. No wonder the Ancient War Elephant refered to him as Second Brother. This middle-aged man in black isn’t someone to be trifled with.

“Lil Eight, calm down and wait a little bit!” advised Su Mo while patting Lil Eight on its head.

Even if the middle-aged man in black was Lil Eight’s kin, Su Mo would not let it out.

It would be too dangerous. For Su Mo, those two men or two beasts outside, would be extremely threatening. Therefore, Lil Eight must stay put.

Outside, in the palace.

“Third Younger Brother, where did you get this map?” asked the middle-aged man.

“A small white tiger found it in the mountains!” replied the bald man.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man in black nodded and suggested, “Third Younger Brother, let’s break the defense of this scroll with our combined strength.”

“Sure!” agreed the bald man.

“Come with me!” instructed the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man in black led the bald man to the depths of the palace and reached a side hall.

The side hall was quite spacious and empty.

Buzz~

As the middle-aged man in black waved his arm, a huge formaton rose from nothingness inside the side hall, along with dazzling light.

Then, the middle-aged man in black and the bald man strode into the formation.

They sat cross-legged inside the formation and themiddle-aged man in black threw the Divine Map upward.

They started refining the Divine Map with a tacit understanding. While an intense light shone, they simultaneously joined forces causing atremendous amount of demonic power to engulf the Divine Map.

A strange Print Spell which stroked into the Divine Map was forged in the hand of the middle-aged man.

The map trembled violently while white light constantly shone and slightly fluctuated from time to time.

Inside the Divine Map, Su Mo looked glum. Are these people demonic beasts? How could they know about the formations?

Su Mo was completely frustrated. It was like falling into an abyss that not even God can help you out of.

He contemplated. If the defense system of the Divine map is broken, how would I escape?

Looking at Lil Eight, Su Mo wondered. If the middle-aged man in black was really Lil Eight’s kin, could he possibly take advantage of that to escape?
