Warrior's Promise

After Shen Qing left, the battle could not continue, so the others also left.

"Senior Brother Wang, thank you!" said Su Mo softly to Wang Hui, after everyone had left.

Although he was not afraid of Shen Qing, he was still thankful for Wang Hui's defense for him.

"Brother, you were too impulsive!"

Wang Hui shook his head and said slightly concernedly, "Shen Qing's cultivation is Peak Lv 3 Spiritual Martial Realm, and his abilities are much stronger than regular martial artists at that realm. If you fight him in the Decisive Struggle Hall, I'm afraid it won't be in your favor!"

"Brother Wang, don't worry! Since I want to fight to death with him, I feel quite assured about this," said Su Mo with a laugh and a confident look on his face.

Wang Hui was slightly shocked by Su Mo's confidence and said with a nod, "Since you're so sure about yourself, then I won't inquire further, but..."

Wang Hui's expression suddenly became serious, and he said, "In the future, you should avoid antagonizing the Sky Alliance!"

"Why?" asked Su Mo.

Wang Hui sighed and said gently, "The leader of the Sky Alliance, Duan Jingtian, is a peerless genius and the pride of Gale Island. His cultivation is much stronger than even an elder like me, and the Sky Alliance is very powerful, so many elders are on their side.

"Gale Island may seem peaceful, but under the surface, it is very turbulent. There are endless conflicts between the different factions.

"The island owner is very old and is considering passing on his position. In just a few years, when Duan Jingtian can hold his own, he will definitely become the new Gale Island owner.

"So, it's very foolish of you to antagonize the Sky Alliance!

"The good thing is that Shen Qing is only a minor player in the Sky Alliance. Even if you kill him, with the protection of Master and I, his death won't be enough incentive for the Sky Alliance to ruin ties with us."

Wang Hui explained the power dynamics carefully to Su Mo.

"Master used to be one of the ten great elders of the inner elders group, but he didn't want to involve himself in the power struggles of the sect. So he voluntarily transferred to become one of the three outer overseeing elders. With Master's abilities, as long as you don't bother the Sky Alliance, then no one can hurt you on Gale Island!" said Wang Hui seriously, looking at Su Mo.

Su Mo was shocked. He used to think that Elder Wei was only highly regarded in outer organizations, but it seemed now that he knew very little about this master.

"He used to be one of the ten great elders of the elders group?"

"That means that Master's abilities are at the top of Gale Island, if not at the peak."

"Don't worry, Brother! As long as the Sky Alliance doesn't bother me, I also won't bother them."

Su Mo nodded his head.

Wang Hui shook his head resignedly. Although his disciple brother seemed gentle, he was actually very rebellious.

He told Su Mo all this so that Su Mo would sheath his weapons and defer to the Sky Alliance.

"Yet, Su Mo is now actively provoking them! If they bother you, would you actually seek revenge from them?"

"Brother, watch out for yourself!"

Wang Hui finally sighed and turned around to leave.

As he watched Wang Hui walk away, Su Mo furrowed his brows in thought. He had not expected there to be such complicated issues in Gale Island.

After a while, Su Mo shook his head. None of this mattered at the moment, and his current priority was to work hard to improve his abilities.

Su Mo walked out of the sect, came to the harbor of Gale Island, and took a boat to get out of Gale Island.

The harbor had a large number of steel boats that sailed regularly, so the Gale Island disciples could sail for free.

However, one had to pay to hire boats, if he was in a rush or wanted to sail alone.

Su Mo stood at the stern of the boat as it sailed on Star-water Lake, gazing over the surface of it.

One month ago, he had come to Gale Island at only Lv 8 Qi cultivation Realm.

Now, he was already a martial artist in the Spiritual Martial Realm and had already had qualifications to enter the real martial world.

Demonic beasts occasionally appeared at the surface of Star-water Lake, spitting up columns of water or stirring up waves.

However, none of them dared to come within two and a half kilometers from the boat.

This route had been used by Gale Island for centuries, so any demonic beast that dared to cross into the route would definitely be killed.

After some time, even the unintelligent demonic beasts understood that this territory was off-limits.

After two hours' sailings, the sailboat reached the harbor of Waterside City.

Su Mo ate at the Greeting Guests Inn, bought a premium cyan mane horse, and rode away.

Yellowstone City, a remote small city, was one thousand kilometer away from Gale Island.

This city was much smaller than Yunyang City, with a low city wall and a population of less than 100,000. The term "town" was a more fitting description.

A young man wearing a white robe was riding a horse down a city street.

It was Su Mo himself.

Yellowstone City was his first stop.

His mission at this stop was to kill a man called Jade-faced Playboy.

"According to the mission data, the mission was requested by the Huang family of Yellowstone City, so I'll go to the Huang's first."

Su Mo asked around to find the location of the Huang Family.

The Huang Family was one of the two great families in Yellowstone City, and it was known to all citizens.

Soon, Su Mo came to a mansion that had "Huang Family" elaborately written on its door.

"Who are you?" Two guards in front of the mansion immediately yelled as soon as Su Mo approached them, glaring at him cautiously.

"I'm a disciple of Gale Island, here to see your Master," Su Mo said.

"A disciple of Gale Island?"

The two guards were surprised, glanced at Su Mo, and said with their fists clasped, "Honored Sir, how can you prove that you're a disciple of Gale Island?"

Su Mo shook his head. These two guards were so devoted to their position.

However, he did not want to cause any trouble, so he took out his jade identification badge.

The Gale Island jade identification badge was completely smooth and empty on the front, and it had "Gale Island" written on the back.

The two guards saw Su Mo's jade identification badge and immediately bowed respectfully.

"Please enter, Sir. I will notify Master right away."

One of the guards took Su Mo into the mansion, while the other went to pass along the news.

Su Mo heard a peal of joyful laughter as soon as he entered the Huang lobby, and a chubby middle-aged man walked out.

"Ha ha! What an honor to receive a disciple of Gale Island. I apologize for the humble lodgings!"

The middle-aged man walked into the lobby, laughing, but he furrowed his brows as soon as he saw Su Mo.

"You're the Huang Family Master?" asked Su Mo.

"Yes. My name is Huang Houde. Please come in!"

The middle-aged man's brows softened again, and he nodded.

In the lobby, Huang Houde and Su Mo sat down.

"Master Huang, where is Jade-faced Playboy?" asked Su Mo bluntly.

Huang Houde did not answer Su Mo immediately, but paused for a while and asked nervously, "May I ask what your cultivation is?"

Su Mo was shocked but answered honestly, "Lv 1 Spiritual Martial Realm."

"Ah!"

To Su Mo's surprise, Huang Houde immediately sighed and said, "Sir, please go back! How can someone with a cultivation of Lv 1 Spiritual Martial Realm compete with Jade-faced Playboy?"

He had just seen how young Su Mo was, and now he was even more disappointed to learn that he only had a cultivation of Lv 1 Spiritual Martial Realm.

Now, he just wanted to make sure.
