Warrior’s Promise

Once the auction had ended, all the martial artists left the auction hall.

Yang Tianwei remained seated on the animal skin chair in room 10, wearing a smile on his face and feeling extremely gleeful.

Although the Dawn Stone was considered an inferior good, such that its powers were less than 10% of an original Dawn Stone, it would still be greatly beneficial for him.

The martial arts he practiced was different from many others. Yang Tianwei cultivated the earth and metal properties together and the Dawn Stone was the treasured item that he needed.

“Senior Tianwei, we borrowed so many Spiritual Crystals, I don’t think we can return them back to the disciples in the short run!” The green-shirted lady sighed.

Yang Tiancheng had borrowed a large sum of Spiritual Crystals from over a dozen sect disciples.

“Hehe!”

Yang Tianwei laughed and shook his head, “Senior Gao, who said that I would return the Spiritual Crystals back to them? There is no need to do that!”

“Huh? You are not going to pay them back?” The green-shirted lady was taken aback by Yang Tianwei’s declaration.

“Of course, who among them would dare to confront me for their Spiritual Crystals?” Yang Tianwei smirked. He had no intention of returning the Spiritual Crystals back to the sect disciples.

“That’s true!” The green-shirted lady nodded her head as she smiled brightly. There was no need to return the Spiritual Crystals. The sect disciples wouldn’t dare to do anything!

“Senior, should we go out first in case Su Mo escapes?”

Yang Tiancheng stood up as a worried look crossed his face. In his mind, capturing Su Mo was the priority.

“What are you rushing for?”

Yang Tianwei challenged him and waved his hand, “Let’s get the Dawn Stone first. Furthermore, Su Mo auctioned off quite a few items and he will have to retrieve his gains first from the auction hall!”

Yang Tiancheng nodded his head helplessly. Yang Tianwei was right, they should take the Dawn Stone first before they leave.

However, Yang Tiancheng was also acting very cautiously as he looked through the water-curtain wall and fixed his eyes upon room 29, just in case Su Mo escaped.

Not long later, the Dawn Stone was delivered to the room. Yang Tianwei carefully looked at the Dawn Stone before pocketing it.

“Let’s go, we will head to the doors to stop Su Mo from leaving!” Yang Tianwei waved his hand and urged the other two on.

With that, he led Yang Tiancheng and the green-shirted lady out of the room.

If he wanted to capture Su Mo, he definitely couldn’t do it in the auction hall itself. He had to do it outside the doors of the auction hall.

…

In room 29

Su Mo and Lyu Gang quietly waited for the Spiritual Crystals to be delivered to the room.

“Su Mo, let’s ask later whether there is a back door for the auction hall in case Yang Tiancheng and Yang Tianwei are blocking the front door!” Lyu Gang wore a worried look as he spoke. Although Su Mo was confident, Lyu Gang couldn’t help being jittery.

“Mm!” Su Mo nodded his head. Although he wasn’t afraid of Yang Tianwei, he wanted to try his best to avoid a confrontation.

Right now, his best option was to avoid trouble.

Bang bang bang!

The two didn’t have to wait long before a knock sounded on the door.

“Please enter!” Su Mo invited.

Then, the door was slowly pushed open as Gong Zhong walked in with a smile, “Apologies for making the both of you wait so long!”

“Elder Gong, it is fine!” Su Mo stood up and shook his head, smiling.

“Young man, these are your gains from the auction. A total of 12,336 Middle Spiritual Crystals. You may check it!” A storage ring appeared in Gong Zhong’s hands before the elder passed it to Su Mo.

Su Mo took the storage ring and briefly checked through it with a mental thought. There was indeed an exact 12,336 Middle Spiritual Crystals in it.

“It is correct!” Su Mo nodded his head and continued, “Elder Gong, the auction has ended, we shall take our leave!”

“Go ahead!” Gong Zhong ushered the two out.

“Elder Gong, is there a back door for this auction hall?” Lyu Gang asked in a deep voice.

“Back door?” Gong Zhong was slightly taken aback before he shook his head and said, “There isn’t a back door. The auction hall only has one front door!”

Lyu Gang sighed. If there wasn’t a back door, then they could only leave from the front door. After all, they couldn’t destroy the auction hall and break a hole in a wall to leave, right?

“Lyu Gang, let’s go!” Su Mo beckoned and strode out of the room.

Su Mo wasn’t worried at all. If Yang Tiancheng and his gang wanted to block him, then he would make them regret their actions.

Lyu Gang did not speak further before he hurriedly followed Su Mo out of the room.

Gong Zhong cocked his head to a side, confused by what was going on.

Although Su Mo did not wear the silver mask, he had changed his appearance so that Gong Zhong did not recognise him.

Furthermore, Gong Zhong had never seen Su Mo before, nor was he familiar with Su Mo’s aura.

Su Mo and Lyu Gang strode out of the hall and before they reached the front doors they could see Yang Tianwei and Yang Tiancheng standing by the door.

Auras surged from both of them as murderous air circulated around their bodies as they stood menacingly by the door.

The green-shirted lady stood far away from the both of them.

Not only that, a large number of martial artists stood outside the door, they were all martial artists who had attended the auction.

These people had seen Yang Tiancheng and Yang Tianwei standing so fiercely by the door and they could guess what the two of them were about to do.

“Who is Yang Tiancheng and Yang Tianwei going to confront?”

“I am not sure, it doesn’t seem like anyone offended them in the auction!”

“Look at the two of them with such murderous auras. I fear that something big is about to happen!”

The crowd chattered among themselves, full of curiosity. No one was sure who Yang Tiancheng and Yang Tianwei were about to confront.

Yi Wei and a group of True Path Sect disciples stood among the crowd and they similarly did not leave.

“Who is the unlucky one?” A True Path Sect disciple laughed heartily as he thought of the crisis that was about to come.

“Let’s see!” Yi Wei casually said. Yang Tianwei was known as the second most powerful pro-disciple of the Empty Sky Sect. Yi Wei wanted to see how strong Yang Tianwei was to discern Li Hentian’s strength.

After all, the Ancient Demons Cemetery would begin not long after, and Yang Tianwei and Li Hentian would be her opponents.

Tian Lang also did not leave the scene. With his hair fully silver and a bulky body, he stayed among the crowd like an eagle in a group of chickens.

The martial artists around Tian Lang also unconsciously stayed far away from him.

“What the heck?” Tian Lang looked at Yang Tianwei and Yang Tiancheng as he furrowed his brows. He had wanted to steal the Dawn Stone from Yang Tianwei after he left Ancient Tong City but had not imagined Yang Tianwei would stand guard here, waiting for god knows who.

“Su Mo!” Looking at the scene outside the door, Lyu Gang immediately started to sweat buckets. Yang Tianwei had already released an array, preparing to confront Su Mo.

However, at that moment, Su Mo had not noticed Yang Tianwei and the crowd outside the door. Instead, his eyes were locked on a white-shirted lady standing in front of him.

The lady wore a veil across her face and was slowly making her way towards the front door.

This lady was elegant and tall. Every step she took was graceful, more evidence of her elegance. As Su Mo looked at her, he couldn’t help a warm wave moving up his chest.

“That lady…..!” Su Mo looked at the back of the white lady as his face filled with shock. He felt that her back was very familiar!

Wasn’t that… Qingxuan?

Su Mo’s heart jumped in surprise. This white shirt lady’s back looked exactly like Qingxuan’s back.
