Warrior’s Promise

In the depths of the Sky-burn Mansion, there stood a huge square with an ancient stone gate at the center.

The giant stone gate was about 132 to 165 meters high and up to over 66 meters wide, cinereous all the way around.

However, the Stone Gate only with a huge doorframe without any door panels in the middle.

A large group of martial artists was gathering in the square, looking at the gigantic stone gate as they wore grave expressions on their faces.

Among them, some were healing their weak auras as they sat cross-legged. They had been terribly injured.

These martial artists were all experts, whose cultivation have reached the Martial King Realm. Only a few were at the True Darkness Realm.

Gong Lin and Sikong Yan were there.

Born with natural Fire Spiritual Build, Sikong Yan had a plan to go to the Sky-burn Mansion first with Gong Lin after he arrived in the Waste Domain.

“Junior Brother Sikong, I can’t get into this inner mansion. You have to go in alone!” Gong Lin somberly said to Sikong Yan.

This gate to the inner mansion had a powerful formation forbiddance, which was too dangerous for Gong Lin.

They both learned about the Stone Gate after observing it for a long time.

“It’s ok, Senior Brother. Just wait for me here.” Said Sikong Yan.

“Junior Brother Sikong, Wenren Tiandu has entered the inner mansion before. So you can cooperate then!” Gong Lin said.

When they got into the Sky-burn Mansion, they met Wenren Tiandu, but he had already taken the lead in stepping into the inner mansion.

Wenren Tiandu’s strength was stronger than Gong Lin had imagined. Although he did not reach the Martial King Realm, his strength was limitless.

Sikong Yan nodded, and then worked to slow his breathing to get ready to enter the inner mansion.

Confident as he was, he was still careful, for many people had been killed by the forbiddance at the entrance.

At that instant, a figure sped by and landed on the square.

Upon scanning the scene, Sikong Yan and Gong Lin’s eyes widened in surprise.

“Su Mo!” They exclaimed together.

This flying figure was no other than Su Mo.

“You two, long time no see!”

Su Mo had already seen them and had decided to fly over to them as he did not want to conceal his identity.

Their faces suddenly darkened with the desire to kill and they began to gnash their teeth ferociously.

“You two hate me so much?” Su Mo asked with a smile.

He simply defeated them at the Talents’ Grand Gathering. Despite he giving Gong Lin a hell of a licking, he was measured and did not hurt them seriously!

“Su Mo, you try in vain to be the East Continent’s hero once you participated in the Devil Sect!”

Sikong Yan said coldly, “I am about to kill your Master!”

Sikong Yan slowly smothered his indignation. He did want to kill Su Mo, but he was uncertain if he would succeed.

He realized that Su Mo’s cultivation was now at the Lv 9 True Darkness Realm, which astonished him.

Su Mo’s strength was extraordinary when his cultivation was just at the Lv 4 True Darkness Realm, not to mention today’s.

Therefore, even if Sikong Yan had reached the Martial King Realm, he still really dreaded fighting against Su Mo.

“I took part in the Devil Sect?” Su Mo was stumped upon hearing his words, before immediately understanding what he meant. Sikong Yan thought he was in cahoots with Huangfu Qing and had joined the Netherworld Devil Sect.

Su Mo tried to explain himself, but stopped instantly after realizing their conversation had attracted much attention.

He decided to explain later if he had the chance.

“What’s this stone gate?” Su Mo asked Sikong Yan.

“Hum!” Sikong Yan snorted, ignoring Su Mo’s question.

Su Mo had nothing to say as he examined the front stone gate carefully.

This stone gate was antique and simple, covered with various complex lines. These lines were extremely abstruse and seemed to be connected with all the forces. Apparently, it was a powerful formation.

At that moment, a tall middle-aged man took a deep breath and strode to the center of the Stone Gate.

His cultivation was strong, at the Lv 4 Martial King Realm.

Su Mo watched him carefully. Since this place had been the source of the shrieks, it was bound to be fraught with danger.

No sooner had the man stepped into the center than his body stood still.

Dazzling crimson lights blinked on the Stone Gate and it was no longer of primitive simplicity. Formidable turbulences of the formation pervaded everywhere.

Two seconds!

Four seconds!

Six seconds!

Pfft!

The middle-aged man vomited blood after six seconds, and his body was knocked back out of the Stone Gate.

“Hmm?”

Su Mo frowned. He actually could not figure out how the man were injured!

“Was it an attack on his mind?” Su Mo speculated.

But he soon rejected the idea. An attack on the mind could not go undetected!

“Even Cloud-splitting King failed!”

“It is impossible for us to pass the inner mansion through!”

“Those who got in before are so strong!”

Seeing the middle-aged man’s defeat, everybody was filled with bitterness. Many of them had tried but failed.

There were people who had not tried as they were unsure if they should proceed for fear of death.

“It’s the entrance to the inner mansion!” Su Mo thought with a sparkle in his eye.

The inner mansion was indeed, the core of the Sky-burn Mansion. As long as he entered the inner mansion, he was likely to find its treasure or the Craftsmanship Hall.

Su Mo immediately stepped forward towards the middle-aged man without any hesitation.

“Predecessor, may I ask what killing desires the entrance has?”

Sumo asked the middle-aged man in a low tone. He did not dare enter rashly and wanted to find out details.

Otherwise, it would too late for him to regret if he were to encounter a fatal crisis.

Since the middle-aged man, who has four accomplishments in Wu Wang’s territory, had only lasted three breaths, it must have been a very difficult entrance to pass through.

“I fought with another version of me who had a higher cultivation!” the man told Su Mo before he simply sat down and began to heal.

“What?” Su Mo was frozen with puzzlement.

“Another self?” Su Mo did not know what that meant.

Just then, Su Mo heard footsteps and turned to look back and saw Sikong Yan stride to the Stone Gate.

Su Mo looked on at the scene intently. If Sikong Yan could enter, so could he.
