Warrior's Promise

Chapter 1608: Here!

The inner mansion of Shenwu Academy.

In the middle of a mansion, a thousand-foot tall mountain had a large palace that was filled with over a hundred martial artists.

“You are saying that Su Mo did not die, and he is now with You Tianhan?”

On the main seat, a tall, long faced Taishi Jue who was in a silver robe stared in shock at the black robed young man.

“Yes, I saw it with my own two eyes!” The black robed young man confirmed.

“How is that possible?” Taishi Jue was hesitant. Numerous people had witnessed first hand that Su Mo was killed by Grand Priest Wu Lun, how could he still be alive?

“Su Mo can’t be alive!”

“Did you see wrongly?”

“I saw first hand how Su Mo was killed. He was definitely killed. How could he be alive?”

A group of disciples of the Taishi Family spoke out one after another, their faces full of disbelief.

“This can’t be wrong. I know Su Mo very well!” The young man spoke seriously. He was fully confident that he was right.

Taishi Jue was silent, but a sharp ray of light crossed his eyes.

He believed that the young man was telling the truth. The young man was a Rank 2 Martial Honorable and he had a sincere personality, there was no way the young man would spout nonsense.

“Interesting!” A sinister smile drew across Taishi Jue’s face. Did Su Mo reincarnate? And he had lied to the whole world about it?

If the Sorcerer Tribesmen knew that Su Mo was not dead, what would they do?

“Holy Son, should we send someone to notify the Sorcerer Tribe about this?” A handsome looking young man in a yellow robe cupped his fists and suggested.

“Ji Feng, let’s settle our Shenwu Academy matters inwardly.” Taishi Jue said with a smile.

Su Mo had killed Taishi Xuan and a large number of Taishi Family disciples. He would not let Su Mo off.

It might be a good idea to inform the Sorcerer Tribe, but the Sorcerer Tribe was too far away. Once the news passed over, who knew how long it would take before the experts were sent over?

By then, Su Mo would have escaped.

Therefore, it would be better for them to act by themselves.

Furthermore, wasn’t there You Tianhan as well? You Tianhan had become a Martial Honorable and entered the inner mansion. Yet, he had started to distance himself from the Taishi Family and disobeyed Taishi Jue’s orders numerous times. It was because he was colluding with Su Mo!

Since that was the case, You Tianhan should die with Su Mo!

“Holy Son, I am willing to go and kill Su Mo!” The yellow-robed young man, Ji Feng, immediately volunteered.

“Mm!” Taishi Jue nodded his head. Ji Feng was a Rank 3 Martial Honorable and he was an exceptional talent. It would be easy for him to kill Su Mo.

However, Su Mo was an exceptional genius and time had passed. His cultivation rank would have reached the Martial Honorable Realm and he might even be a Rank 2 Martial Honorable by now.

In order to prevent Su Mo from escaping, they couldn’t be careless.

After a long moment of silence, Taishi Jue ordered, “How about this! Ji Feng, take a few people with you in case Su Mo escapes!”

“Yes, Holy Son!” Ji Feng immediately agreed.

Ji Feng picked out a few familiar faces in the crowd and got the black-robed young man to lead the way to Su Mo.

“Hold on!”

Right at that moment, Taishi Jue spoke and stopped Ji Feng.

“Holy Son, what other instructions do you have?” Ji Feng asked.

“Su Mo is from the Imperial Ancestor Court and he might still be in contact with Gu Tianyi. Try not to make a scene in case you attract the Imperial Ancestor Court’s attention!” Taishi Jue reminded.

“Understood!” Ji Feng nodded. If others found out about this assassination attempt, they would be in trouble.

“Go!” Taishi Jue waved his hand and dismissed Ji Feng and the group.

Looking at Ji Feng’s back, Taishi Jue shook his head. Su Mo was a small matter and he would let the lower members of the sect handle it.

Taishi Jue would leave Shenwu Academy in the next year and he had to pull to get the Divine Son on his side.

…

In a peaceful yard of the Firmament Palace, Su Mo was not aware of the calamity that was about to happen as he was cultivating.

A long while later, he ended his cultivation and spat out a glob of saliva.

His cultivation base was pretty solid by now but Su Mo wasn’t in a rush to break through to the next realm.

Su Mo had cultivated too quickly in recent years and he had forcefully broken through to the next realm. This caused his breakthroughs to become harder and harder each time.

Therefore, he had to solidify his base this time so that it would be beneficial for him in the future.

After all, he had plenty of time on his hands now and he did not have to worry about the Sorcerer Tribe or other dangers.

In a few more days, he would head off to Myriad World Mountain and he would take the time to raise the talents of the Firmament Palace people.

With that, he called upon a few disciples of the Firmament Palace and merged Fighting Souls for them.

These disciples were people he was familiar with. For instance, Feng Shaoyu, Senior Wang Hui and the Gale Island as well as Zhou Xin etc.

One by one, Su Mo merged Fighting Souls with them, increasing their talents.

Every merging of Fighting Soul required a few hours and Su Mo merged Fighting Souls for 8 people in 3 days.

By now, Su Mo didn’t have many Fighting Souls left. He had no more extra Fighting Souls to merge for others as he still had to keep some for himself!

The Martial Souls that he had with him was a lot and they were those that he had devoured back when he had massacred the Sorcerer Tribe in the Heavenly Underworld Star. However, the Martial Souls were just Martial Souls and they were on a different level compared to Fighting Souls.

“It seems like I will have to devour more Fighting Souls in the future!” Sitting cross-legged in the yard, Su Mo muttered to himself. The Fighting Souls he had devoured were not enough.

Su Mo did not devour many Fighting Souls in Ming Xu Galaxy. Those who he had killed all had their Fighting Souls perished with them.

Of course, Su Mo wasn’t thinking of making everyone in the Firmament Palace Twin Fighting Souls talents. This was impossible as Su Mo did not have much time.

He only needed to create about 1000 Twin Fighting Souls talents such that Firmament Palace would be a formidable force in the galaxy.

A long while later, Su Mo sighed deeply. It was time for him to head to the Myriad World Mountain. He ought to complete his mission before Qingxuan returned.

At the same time, he would probably be able to break through to the next realm by the time he reached the True Sage Realm star. He would devour a bit of the energy of the Ancient Demon’s Heart before he handed it over to Myriad World Mountain.

With that thought, Su Mo prepared to head towards Myriad World Mountain.

Just at that moment, disaster struck.

Air-rending sounds shot through the air from afar, following which, streaks of radiance and roars flew at lighting-speed to the skies above Firmament Palace.

The Taishi Family people were here!
