Warrior’s Promise

Chapter 1261: We’ve Got Trouble!

The next morning, Su Mo, Nie Qian, and Han Ying flew off Huoyuan Peak.

Su Mo left without informing Grand Master Huoyuan.

Come to think of it, it was strange that Grand Master Huoyuan took Su Mo in, but did not give him any instructions or guidance for the past month.

No teachings on martial arts, and not even on craftsmanship. He left him to cultivate on his own.

Su Mo speculated Grand Master Huoyuan was ruffed at him for rejecting him all those time in the past, and wanted to give him the cold shoulder for a while.

However, Su Mo did not mind. Though there could be some losses, he got plenty of freedom and time in exchange.

He was worried that Grand Master Huoyuan would force him to study craftsmanship!

Therefore, he did not tell Grand Master Huoyuan about his trip.

The three soon left Shenwu Academy and the Fallen Star.

Without the huge gravity force on the Fallen Star, their speed increased tremendously. They disappeared in the sky like three flashes of lighting.

…

Inside an elegant pavilion situated in a beautiful southern courtyard, You Tianhan and Taishi Xuan sat nose to nose.

A man in blue stood outside the pavilion. He was the man who led Su Mo here last time.

“Brother You, Brother Taishi, that Su Mo left the Academy! Nie Qian and Han Ying are with him too!” the man in blue said to You Tianhan and Taishi Xuan while cupping his hands.

“Left?” You Tianhan chuckled.

Taishi Xuan also smiled and said with a chilly look, “Oh Su Mo, since you dared to make a fool out of us, then don’t blame us for our cruelty!”

Though Taishi Xuan was laughing, the killing desire inside his heart was strong as ever.

Last time, Su Mo told him he needed three days to think, but ended up moving to the inner mansion of Huoyuan Peak along with Nie Qian and Han Ying on that very same day. Taishi Xuan was outraged.

He was clearly playing them like fools!

He purposely slapped them in the face!

How could they just let it go!

“Taishi Xuan, you’re going to do the job yourself?” You Tianhan asked.

Taishi Xuan paused for a while, shook his head, and said, “They’re three nobodies, I don’t have to do this myself. Let Zhao Cheng and Guo Jianqing go!”

Taishi Xuan did not want to bother to do it himself. He was a martial artist in the fifth level of the Martial Emperor Realm, why should he go and kill three nobodies!

Two men in the Peak Lv 4 Martial Emperor Realm were enough to kill the three.

However, Taishi Xuan’s cultivation was still far from those of experts like You Tianhan. His status, not strength, was the reason that he could speak with You Tianhan equally.

He was a core tribe member of the Taishi Family. His status was way higher than You Tianhan.

You Tianhan and his companions were just members of factions that joined the Taishi Family. These factions were merely submissions to the Taishi Family. Their status was incomparable.

That was why Taishi Xuan and You Tianhan could speak in equal terms in spite of their cultivation levels.

“Let Zhao Cheng and Guo Jianqing go then!” You Tianhan nodded and said. He clearly trusted the two’s abilities.

“Yes! I will arrange it right now!” the man in blue said while nodding. He then turned to leave the pavilion.

“Wait!”

Taishi Xuan suddenly stopped him, and said, “Tell them to finish the job cleanly, don’t leave any clues!”

Taishi Xuan had to be careful, he did not want to offend Grand Master Huoyuan for nobodies like Su Mo.

Although his status was high, he also represented the Taishi Family. Offending Grand Master Huoyuan would bring unnecessary trouble in the future.

“Don’t worry Brother Taishi, with the strength of Zhao Cheng and Guo Jianqing, no evidence would be found!” said the man in blue as he left the pavilion.

In the limitless skies, Su Mo, Nie Qiang, and Han Ying dashed through the oceans of clouds.

“Brother Su, I know the quickest teleportation rout to the Heavenly Underworld Star. It also costs very little Spiritual Crystals!” Han Ying said to Su Mo while flying.

“Oh? Really?” Su Mo asked in surprise. He did not even have half a Spiritual Crystal left on him. He was thinking about borrowing some from the two at the Transporting Formation.

“Yeah, most of the Transporting Formations on this rout is powered by the 13 superpowers behind Shenwu Academy. It does not coast anything if you show your status token!” Han Ying said.

“Haha! That’s great!” Su Mo said cheerfully. Looked like there were actually many perks of being a disciple of the Academy.

He increasingly felt the power of the 13 superpowers behind the Academy.

“I calculated our travel time yesterday night, and it seems that it would only take us about three months to reach the Heavenly Underworld Star,” said Han Ying.

“Good, that will be best!” Su Mo nodded and said.

“Brother Su, the Heavenly Underworld Star is a part of the Sorcerer tribe’s territory. Let’s be careful not to offend them while we’re there!” said Nie Qian.

Su Mo thought mirthlessly in his heart. The whole objective of this trip was to slaughter the Sorcerer tribe, how can he not offend the tribe members.

He did not know what the two would think if they knew his intents.

He had yet to tell them his aims of this trip, but he planned to tell them when they reached the Heavenly Underworld Star.

“I’ll be careful!” Su Mo nodded and said.

The three talked through their journey, lessening the dullness of a long trip.

Time flew by, and they were five days down the road. They were now only two days away from the Transporting Formation.

The sun shined bright this day.

The three were on their maximum speed, dashing through the air like beams of light, leaving long cracks in space as they passed by.

“Huh?” Su Mo mumbled while frowning. His eyes flickered.

He noticed someone stalking them, and there seemed to be more than one person.

They were only 15,000 kilometers away now.

Su Mo’s perceptivity was very sharp. After he reached the Martial Emperor Realm, his perceptivity increased even more. He easily noticed the people following him.

The two stalkers were a little faster than them. It would take no more than 15 minutes for them to catch up.

Su Mo expression turned grim. Who was trying to get them? Or did they simply catch the attention of bandits on their way?

Su Mo immeidatley thought of the Taishi Family, since he did offened Taishi Xuan. They did not make any moves recently. Maybe they were waiting for him to come out.

However, it was still unclear whether or not it was the Taishi Family.

“Guys, we’ve got trouble coming!” Su Mo said in a deep voice.

“What’s wrong Brother Su?” Nie Qian asked in confusion. He did not sence any danger coming their way.

Han Ying expression darkened, she sensed the stalkers at this point.

Her Fighting Soul was ‘The Eavesdropping Ear’. Her perception range was very vast, she just did not pay that much attention.
