Warrior's Promise

Su Mo saw the familiar faces of the people beside Tuoba Qingyun. As he looked at them, he took note of every one of them.

Saint Zhen Xian from Path Sect, Xu Wushen and Jiang Shenye from Triple Deities Sect, Steward Chai from Craftsmen Guild, and Bing Yan and his daughter from Dark Ice Tribe in God’s Path.

Su Mo sighed secretly when he saw those people. Tuoba Qingyun had made a thorough check and it must have taken him great effort to locate them.

Su Mo felt emotional. Those people had had dealings with him before and some were his benefactors.

“Gentlemen, you are free now!” Su Mo said grimly as he looked at Saint Zhen Xian and the rest of them. After several hundred years, some of them had remained the same while others had changed drastically.

For example, Saint Zhen Xian had only reached Rank 3 Empty God Realm after so many years.

Jiang Shenye, who used to have a lower cultivation level than Saint Zhen Xian, was already a Rank 4 True God.

As a large amount of Spiritual Qi, luck, and blessings had been absorbed by the Deity Plane, the martial artists in the Cosmic World were unable to reach the True God Realm.

One could only reach the True God Realm in the Deity Plane. However, after the Deity Plane had been destroyed, the supply in the Cosmic World and the resources, treasures, and orthodox practices that the forces and races from the Deity Plane had brought along with them were insufficient for the martial artists to reach the True God Realm.

“Su Mo, you have impressed us in only a few centuries!” Saint Zhen Xian exclaimed. Since Tuoba Qingyun had released them, Su Mo must have become invincible.

Saint Zhen Xian was in a daze. He recalled that a few centuries ago, Su Mo had only been an insignificant martial artist. His cultivation level had not even been at the Martial Sage Realm and he had still needed Saint Zhen Xian to protect him.

However, within such a short period of time, he had become invincible.

A few centuries had glown past in the blink of an eye, leading to him being a martial artist of their level.

Everything seemed like a dream.

“Senior Brother Zhen Xian, you will forever be my Senior Brother!” Su Mo said with a smile. Back then, Saint Zhen Xian had been a great help to him. However, Su Mo had not been able to repay him. He would have the opportunity to do so in the future.

“Su Mo, thank you!” Jiang Shenye cupped his fist and bowed to Su Mo. He had mixed feelings. In a few centuries, Su Mo had become a prominent figure.

The rest of the people shared the same thoughts and they were full of respect for Su Mo.

Although they had no idea of Su Mo’s cultivation level, his aura was enough to awe them.

“You can thank me later!”

Su Mo said with a smile. Having said that, he looked at Tuoba Qingyun and asked, “Tuoba Qingyun, can you behave yourself in my Spacial Device?”

Su Mo did not kill Tuoba Qingyun or put him into his Devouring Primordial Spirit. Their Spiritual Souls were of the same body and Su Mo was afraid that it could backfire if he did so.

Thus, as a safety precaution, he did not do anything to Tuoba Qingyun and merely put him away in the Spacial Device. There was no way for Tuoba Qingyun to run away from him.

“Yes!” Tuoba Qingyun nodded. That was the best arrangement for him. If he resisted, Su Mo could kill him.

Su Mo triggered his thoughts and engulfed Tuoba Qingyun. As Tuoba Qingyun did not put up a fight, Su Mo managed to put him away in the Spacial Device effortlessly.

The minute Tuoba Qingyun entered the Spacial Device, Su Mo let Long Teng out of it.

He did not want to put Long Teng and Tuoba Qingyun together lest Tuoba Qingyun were to harm Long Teng.

“Gentlemen, please come with me!”

Su Mo called out to the people and took the same route back. As he was in the Void Sea only for a short period of time, it was easy for him to find the way back.

Su Mo led the group of people out of the Void Sea and returned to the starry sky.

Fu Qian and the bystanders were waiting for Su Mo in the starry sky.

When they saw Su Mo with the group of people, they reckoned that he had killed Tuoba Qingyun.

“Su Mo, someone has escaped from the Small World!” Fu Qian informed Su Mo through thought transmission.

“Eh?”

Su Mo turned his head to look at the entrance of the Small World and noticed that the array light had disappeared.

“Did you try to stop him?” Su Mo asked with a frown. He had been focusing on dealing with Tuoba Qingyun and had forgotten all about the men from the Heavenly Palace.

“No,” Fu Qian replied. Although he possessed powerful Primordial Spirit and Rules, it was difficult for him to stop the man as his Primordial Spirit had not fully recovered. Moreover, he no longer had a physical body.

That said, he still had the ability to stop the man if he had done so. However, he did not want to aggravate his injuries.

When Su Mo heard Fu Qian’s reply, he pondered for a while before flying to the entrance of the Small World. He waved his palm, broke through the Small World, and entered.

The Small World was well hidden, and it took Su Mo more than 10 breaths to get into it.

Su Mo stood in the sky and looked around. The Small World covered a small area and it looked deserted.

There were a few mountains packed with caves and some buildings.

When Su Mo looked around with his Holy Senses, he noticed that there were no living creatures around. The men from the Heavenly Palace had escaped and the place was empty.

“Might as well. I’ll let them be!” Su Mo said with a sigh. He had no intention to threaten Di Yihun with the men from the Heavenly Palace. Since they had escaped, he would decide on his next move later.

Soon, Su Mo left the Small World and returned to the starry sky.

“Gentlemen, I will be residing in Cosmic World Star. I hope that you will come and look for me!”

Su Mo said as he looked at Saint Zhen Xian and the rest of the people. He did not ask them to go with him to Cosmic World Star as they would have their own places of abode.

“Sure!”

“Su Mo, thank you!”

“We will definitely make time to go over!”

All of them commented. Since Su Mo would like them to go over to Cosmic World Star, they would definitely make the trip there.

After chatting with the people for a while, Su Mo took Long Teng and Fu Qian to Cosmic World Star.

“Su Mo, when do you intend to help me get back my physical body? If you can’t do it soon, I will have to use somebody else’s body.”

When they were flying, Fu Qian asked Su Mo through thought transmission.

“After we get back and when I have settled everything, I will deal with you!” Su Mo replied with a nod. He did not have the ability yet to help Fu Qian regain his physical body but the Life and Death Rule could supply Fu Qian with vitality. That would help to improve Fu Qian’s condition.

“Alright!” Fu Qian felt reassured when he heard Su Mo’s reply. He had been injured for more than 100 years and he was eager to recover.
