Warrior’s Promise

The fact that Hong Qing Xuan’s memories were wiped was unacceptable to Su Mo. Once a person’s memories were wiped, it was almost impossible to regain them. After a few moments, Su Mo suppressed the rage within him. Glancing at Wu Tian Yu, who now resembled a dead dog, he retrieved his Dream Realm Fighting Soul and released the dream realm.

Back in the hall, Wu Tian Yu suffered greatly from having his soul searched by Su Mo. The whites of his eyes were showing and he stood dumbly on the spot. Su Mo did not dare to waste any time and immediately mobilized his Devouring Fighting Soul and devoured Wu Tian Yu’s Fighting Soul.

Wu Tian Yu’s Fighting Soul was what evolved from the Hurricane Martial Soul. It was considered a very strong Fighting Soul. Once he had devoured the Hurricane Fighting Soul, Su Mo allowed the Devouring Fighting Soul to leave his former avatar and enter Wu Tian Yu’s body, thus possessing him. Then, Su Mo roughly composed himself and allowed his real body, as well as some other possessions, to transfer to Wu Tian Yu’s body. He had numerous storage rings on him. The storage ring that held the Young Priest badge was just one among many.

A few moments later, everything returned to normal. The Ghost Force in the hall dissipated as though nothing had happened. Wu Chen was seated on the main seat while Wu Tian Yu was on the guest’s seat. Nothing had changed.

“Wu Tian Yu, if you want me to forgive you, then hand over 5,000 Lower Spiritual Crystals!” Wu Chen calmly said.

“5,000 Lower Spiritual Crystals, Young Priest Wu Chen, isn’t that a little too boldly taking advantage of me?” Wu Tian Yu’s face was dark as he replied.

“It’s fine if you don’t want to hand them over. With my new position, I can kill you without any consequences!” a cold smile played on Wu Chen’s lips as he replied.

“You…!” Wu Tian Yu’s face was as black as the deepest waters. After a silent moment, he gritted his teeth, “Young Priest Wu Chen, I will give you 5,000 Lower Spiritual Crystals. But we will not have any grievances between us in the future!” With that, Wu Tian Yu retrieved 5,000 Lower Spiritual Crystals and handed them to Wu Chen.

“Very good!” Wu Chen smiled slightly as he nodded, “Since you know your place, I will not bother you anymore!”

“I will take my leave!” Wu Tian Yu raised himself and saluted Wu Chen. Then he straightened himself and strode out. Soon, Wu Tian Yu left Wu Chen’s residence.

Seeing Wu Tian Yu leaving out the front door, the young underling servant wore a confused expression. Just now, he had felt Wu Chen’s outburst and the release of Ghost Force that shrouded the entire hall for a span of two breaths. What had happened?

…

Once Su Mo possessed Wu Tian Yu’s body, he quickly left the Clan Prefecture and Heavenly Underworld City. After leaving Heavenly Underworld City, he purposely went to Black Gold City. Without stopping there for long, he left the city again and flew up into the sky. Su Mo was racing away from Heavenly Underworld and was flying at his greatest speed. After flying for exactly a day and night, he stopped only after he was around 10,000 miles away from Heavenly Underworld City.

Then, he found an obscure hiding place where he let out his real body and released his Fighting Soul back into it. Once he returned to his original body, Su Mo felt at home. Possessing strange bodies never failed to make him feel uncomfortable. After storing Wu Tian Yu’s body, Su Mo changed his appearance slightly and then hid himself. He would stay here for another two days before heading over to where Han Ying and Nie Qian had hidden themselves.

As for his avatar, it would remain within the Sorcerer Tribe and act as the Young Priest. As long as he wasn’t completely exposed, his avatar would be safe. Furthermore, even if his avatar was killed, it would not be a terrible loss. Wu Chen, the avatar, was not very important to Su Mo. Furthermore, after searching Wu Tian Yu’s soul, Su Mo discovered Hong Qing Xuan’s situation. He had somewhat attained his goal. So, now, he was going to create a scene.

Two days later, Su Mo arrived at where Han Ying and Nie Qian were hiding. The two did not move an inch from when he had left them. They continued to wait for him despite the vast and interesting lands of the Heavenly Underworld Star that they could explore.

“Sorry to keep the two of you waiting!” once he neared them, Su Mo apologized humbly. He was sorry that they had waited for him for close to a year.

“Brother Su, we did not blindly wait for you, but took turns cultivating and training while you were gone!” Nie Qian laughed.

“Yes! Brother Su, did you not realize that we are slightly different?” Han Ying’s lovely face broke into a smile, charming her companions.

“You have broken through?” surveying her, Su Mo’s eyes widened. Han Ying had broken into the Level 2 Martial Emperor Realm.

“Mhm!” Han Ying smiled as she nodded her head. However, her face quickly turned serious and she seemed helpness. She realized that Su Mo had also broken through to a higher level. When he left all those months ago, he was still a Level 2 Martial Emperor. Now, he was already a Level 3 Martial Emperor artist.

“Brother Su, when I compare myself with you, my confidence disappears!” Han Ying sighed as she said.

“Hehe!” Su Mo laughed kindly. Then, he lowered his voice and said, “I have achieved my goal here. Now, let’s go and loot some resources before we leave Heavenly Underworld Star and head back to Shen Wu academy.”

“How do we loot?” Han Ying asked.

“Brother Su, this is the Sorcerer Tribe territory. We can’t be too careless when we loot! Otherwise, there is a high chance we will meet our end with these warriors!” Nie Qian reminded them with a serious glare.

“Rest assured, I have a plan! I guarantee that the both of you are in for a great reward this time!” Su Mo assuaged them.

Then the three of them conversed for a while before they left their hiding place and headed in the opposite direction of Heavenly Underworld City. Since their plan was to make a big scene, they would definitely not want to be anywhere near Heavenly Underworld City. Otherwise, they would just be digging their own graves. After flying for a full five days, and leaving Heavenly Underworld City tens of thousands of miles behind, the three of them began their plan.

“Sister Han, please check our surroundings and see if there is any small Sorcerer Tribe town near us! We need the kind that wouldn’t have any martial artist above a Level 5 Martial Emperor Realm!” Su Mo requested of Han Ying.

“Alright!” Han Ying nodded her head and immediately used her Eavesdropping Ear Fighting Soul to survey their surroundings. She quickly found a target and said to Su Mo, “18,000 meters to our northwest is a small town. There are around seventy to eighty thousand Sorcerer Tribesmen there with their strongest member being a Level 3 Martial Emperor!”

“Great, let’s go loot this small town! Rob them of all their resources!” Su Mo lightly laughed and, with a twitch of his body, flew northwest in the direction of the town.

A massacre… In the past, this was something that Su Mo would hesitate to do, as he felt it was ruthless and inhumane. However, he was full of the killing spirit now. An unrestrained killing urge. If he was going to massacre the entire Sorcerer Tribe, then he could not feel any mercy. This was not a matter of humanity or morals, but his own hatred and desire for revenge. It’s true that many of the ordinary Sorcerer Tribesmen were innocent, but weren’t the billions of lives on the Firmament World also faultless? Unless all of them, every single Firmament person, deserved to die? They were born in a small, obscure world and were very weak warriors, so they deserved to be killed?

No! The Sorcerer Tribe was ruthless and they treated the people of Firmament World like pigs and dogs. They did not extend any mercy to the Firmament people, therefore Su Mo owed them no mercy either.
