Warrior's Promise

Su Mo's Devouring Martial Spirit rumbled and swiftly absorbed these people's blood essence, genuine Qi, and Martial Souls.

Abundant energy raged in Su Mo's body, even more forcefully than when Su Mo absorbed thousands of Spiritual Stones at once.

This time, he had devoured at once the blood essence and genuine Qi of 15 people including three experts at Lv 9 Spiritual Martial Realm and at least nine experts at Lv 8 Spiritual Martial Realm.

Their energy and genuine Qi were extremely powerful and were collected into a giant flood.

"Time to break into a new realm!"

Su Mo sat on the ground cross-legged and used all his strength to refine this abundant energy.

His seven Spiritual Spirals rumbled to convert energy into genuine Qi and absorbed it.

If Su Mo did not have enough energy to support his seven Spiritual Spirals, it would be impossible to break into a new realm. Fortunately, this flood of genuine Qi was strong enough.

Time passed slowly.

After an hour, Su Mo's seven Spiritual Spirals shook violently and expanded crazily. A gust of Qi swept for hundreds of meters, sending leaves and rocks on the ground flying.

After a while, this gust of Qi suddenly disappeared.

Su Mo opened his eyes with a smile. He had finally progressed into Lv 8 Spiritual Martial Realm, and his strength had doubled again.

Now, he would even dare to fight a martial artist at Lv 1 True Spirit Realm. Although he could not win, he was still confident he could defend himself.

Now, Su Mo basically had no opponents in Qinghua Rift!

"Yin Lige, top one of Inner Gate? Let's hope I don't run into you, or I'll make you suffer a horrible death!"

Yin Lige had encouraged his sect's Inner Disciples to kill Su Mo, which enraged Su Mo to no end.

Then, he stood up and found the storage pouches of all the mummified bodies.

"Oh? Is this a treasure map?"

Su Mo found a piece of a map from the Gale Island disciple at Lv 9 Spiritual Martial Realm.

Since Su Mo had a couple treasure maps, that was his first guess.

Also, he had two treasure maps on him and had not taken the time to study on them.

However, after a while, he found that it was not a treasure map but a map of Qinghua Rift.

Su Mo suddenly understood. Over the course of many years, countless disciples had come to Qinghua Rift for trial tests, so it made sense that someone had drawn a map!

No wonder these Disciples of the Sky Alliance found this place so quickly. It seemed that they knew Qinghua Rift very well and had discussed where to meet before they came in!

This map was very detailed, with mountains, plains, rivers, and many places marked with red dots.

"What do these red dots mean?"

Su Mo was puzzled.

One of the marked spots was no more than 50 kilometers from where he was, so Su Mo decided to check it out.

Now that he was very powerful, Su Mo was extremely confident and had no fear.

He used body movement to rush toward the marked location as quickly as lightning.

In no time, he saw a lake at the end of the woods in distance.

The lake was right the marked location. Su Mo jumped on a tree and observed toward it.

The giant lake was being covered by a dense and swirling Spiritual Qi that formed a huge layer of white mist.

A colorful lotus flower that was half the height of a man floated in the middle of this lake, shining faintly.

"What kind of lotus flower is this?"

Su Mo did not recognize it, but observing its appearance, he could tell that it was not a normal flower.

He glanced around and saw hundreds of disciples of the four sects near the lake.

"Ling Muchen!"

Su Mo saw Ling Muchen there.

The hundreds of people were roughly split into four groups, while all focusing their attention on the colorful lotus.

However, no one made a move to take it.

"Is there some kind of danger?"

Su Mo was confused and scrutinized the lake.

He realized that the lake was giving off a faint smell of blood, and there were traces of blood in the water.

Obviously, someone had died in the lake!

Instead of rushing forward, Su Mo began to observed the disciples.

There were a dozen Sky Rapier Sect disciples, and the rest were around 30 disciples from the three other sects.

"Xiong Yue?"

In the crowd of Gale Island, Su Mo recognized the number four experts of Gale Island's Inner Gate, Xiong Yue of the Sky Alliance.

In Su Mo's mind, about half of the 30 or so Gale Island disciples were members of the Sky Alliance.

After a while, Su Mo also observed that there were quite a few experts among the other three sects present.

There were at least 15 people at Lv 9 Spiritual Martial Realm, and two or three of them seemed just as strong as Xiong Yue.

Su Mo hid in the tree and did not approach them. Although he was not afraid of these disciples, he was not sure what dangers were laying in the lake.

He then decided to wait and observe.

Suddenly, a figure arrived at the lake suddenly like a gust of wind.

This young man with a sword strapped to his waist was extremely handsome and elegant.

"That's the wind swordsman of the Sky Rapier Sect, Xiao Qingfeng!"

"Xiao Qingfeng is at the second place of Sky Rapier Sect's Inner Gate, and his strength is only second to Jian Wuyou. I heard that he can even handle a few attacks from martial artists at Lv 1 True Spirit Realm!"

"Damn it! With Xiao Qingfeng here, we don't have a chance!"

Seeing the handsome young man, everyone exclaimed with their face paled.

The disciples from Gale Island, Scorching Sun Sect, and Sky Yuan Sect were especially upset.

The face of Gale Island's Xiong Yue sunk, and his expression was grave.

Xiao Qingfeng's face was calm as if he had not heard the chatter. After he saw the lotus, he suddenly turned to Su Mo's direction and said with a smile, "Friend, since you're here, why don't you show up?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked with guarded eyes and turned to look at where Su Mo was hiding.

They had not expected someone to be watching from afar. Did he want to take advantage of them?

Su Mo was shocked to smile bitterly, for he had been found.

He felt slightly afraid because he had been hiding almost one kilometer from the lake, and his opponent still easily found him!

It seemed that everyone had special talents that could not be overlooked!

Su Mo sighed and flitted out.
