Warrior's Promise

Su Mo was surprised by the strength of his Second Senior Sister. The power of that stroke was beyond his imagination.

If he had such strength, how could he be bullied by the Master of All Beasts?

"My storage ring!" Su Mo was alarmed as he saw the old man falling. He took the two women and dashed toward the old man.

After having seized the corpse, Su Mo immediately took off the ring and checked it. He found his ring in the old man's ring.

Su Mo was greatly relieved.

While putting on his ring, Su Mo saw the corpse and was moved. It was a True Darkness Realm expert's corpse, and its energy and spiritual Qi were way more than an Enlightenment Realm martial artist's.

However, Su Mo gave up the thought of devouring the corpse because he saw Second Senior Sister walking here. He put the corpse into his storage ring.

"Second Senior Sister, why are you here?" Su Mo asked.

An Nuan came in front of Su Mo, pushed the hair on her forehead aside, and smiled. "I already found out that there were people coveting your things, so I stayed around."

"Thank you very much, Second Sister!" Su Mo became emotional at this. He did not expect that she was protecting him these last two days.

An Nuan shook her head and smiled. "Little brother, you're welcome. Our Towering Sky Peak's brothers and sisters are bonded together. I won't stand and see any one of us suffer!"

Su Mo nodded, and his sense of belonging to the Towering Sky Peak grew stronger.

He thought of the time he was in the Horned-demon Territory. Feng Shaoyu risked his life to save him and the other two brothers. This time, An Nuan protected him in the shadows. Su Mo was greatly moved by them.

"Little brother!"

An Nuan sized up Su Mo and said, "I saw your devouring power..."

Su Mo was upset about this. Not only did Hong Qingxuan and Huang Yao see him devouring Xue Tianhao, but also Second Senior Sister!

However, Su Mo did not care much about demonstrating his Martial Soul now, because he was no longer that insignificant martial artist. It was okay to show his Devouring Martial Soul every once in a while!

"Second Senior Sister, it's the ability of my special Martial Soul!" said Su Mo.

"Okay." An Nuan nodded and said, "My point is that this ability of yours is incredible. If used for good causes, it'll help you a lot. If not, it'll ruin you!"

Even An Nuan felt horrified about this ability. It was a good thing that Su Mo was her junior brother. Were Su Mo her enemy, she would kill Su Mo without hesitation!

"Ruin me?"

After a short shock, Su Mo figured it out. She worried that he would become a heartless murderer. That he would kill and devour the others at will, bring misery to this world.

"Second Senior Sister, don't you worry too much about it. I got this!" Su Mo replied.

An Nuan nodded slightly. She was pretty satisfied with Su Mo's temperament. When the Master of All Beasts was looting Su Mo, she did not move because she wanted to check Su Mo's temperament.

Su Mo's decision pleased her very much. He was willing to exchange his storage ring for the two women's freedom, which proved his unselfishness.

If Su Mo ran away and did not worry about their safety, she would not move even if Su Mo got into danger later.

What she said before was just a little reminder.

Su Mo eyed the two women and said to An Nuan, "Second Senior Sister, their cultivations were sealed. Please help unlock them."

Su Mo figured that a True Darkness Realm expert's method might be hard for him to handle, so he asked An Nuan to unseal the two women.

An Nuan looked at them and nodded. "Their Spiritual Spirals were restrained by the Dark Force. It's all right."

She then raised her slender hands and pointed twice. Two rows of finger radiance spurted into their elixir fields and immediately destroyed the restraint. The two women trembled, and their cultivations were recovered.

"Sister An Nuan, thank you very much!" Hong Qingxuan and Huang Yao expressed their thanks.

An Nuan shook her head and said, "Don't thank me, thank Su Mo. You would be fine even if I wasn't here!"

"Thank you, Junior Brother Su Mo!" Huang Yao said earnestly.

Hong QIngxuan stared at Su Mo and sighed, "Brother Su Mo, it's the third time you have saved me!"

Su Mo smiled and shook his head. "You're welcome, we're all fellow disciples after all!"

Upon hearing this, Hong Qingxuan sighed inwardly, "Just fellow disciples?"

"Well, little brother, I'm leaving now. You take care!" An Nuan said farewell.

"You too, Second Senior Sister!" Su Mo saluted with both hands folded.

An Nuan hesitated for a short while and said, "Little brother, your combat strength is very strong. If you can upgrade a few levels, you may have the chance to win glory for Towering Sky Peak in the Martial Arts Competition of the Nine Peaks."

"Got it! I'll do my best!" said Su Mo.

An Nuan nodded, turned around, and flew away instantly.

While gazing at her receding figure, Su Mo let out a long sigh. Were it not for her, he would have lost too much. It seemed like he had to be more careful and avoid an incident like this.

"Qingxuan, Sister Huang, let's go!"

The three people then continued their flight to Everlasting Island.

After this incident, both Hong Qingxuan and Huang Yao kept silent during the flight. It seemed like there was a feeling of estrangement between them.

"Qingxuan, Sister Huang, would you fill me in about the Martial Arts Competition of the Nine Peaks? Is it a grand fight between Outer Disciples?" Su Mo tried to ease the atmosphere.

Huang Yao said, "Junior Brother Su Mo, it's not between all Outer Disciples. It's a competition between the experts of Outer Disciples."

"Okay, what are the rules?" Su Mo asked.

"Each peak picks out 100 outstanding Outer Disciples to compete in the competition. I assume that your master will only pick one or two disciples for the competition because your numbers are too few." Huang Yao said.

Su Mo agreed with her. The Towering Sky Peak was at an immediate disadvantage because there were so few disciples.

The other eight peaks would pick out Lv 8 or 9 Enlightenment Realm experts while, on his side, only the Seventh Senior Sister, Hua Suiyu, was qualified for the competition.

As for Feng Shaoyu and Yun Fei, in spite of their strong combat strength, their levels were too low to compete with those experts.

"If I can upgrade two levels before the competition, then maybe I can fight those experts from the other eight peaks!" Su Mo thought.
