Warrior's Promise

Chapter 1342: Peace

After hearing Gu Tian Yi’s words, Su Mo’s face turned serious.

However he did not say anything. Since Gu Tian Yi had came to find him, he probably had an intention.

Seeing Su Mo’s silence, Gu Tian Yi said sternly, “according to what I know, Grand Master Huo Yuan does not give you much backing either. If he doesn’t help you this time, you will definitely die!”

“Indeed, so does Brother Gu have an idea to help me?” Su Mo nodded his head and said in a deep voice. He knew that Gu Tian Yi had prepared before he came to find him.

“Brother Su, I am not going to hide from you, your talents are the top amongst the entire Shen Wu Academy. It may even be comparable to the Holy Sons and even the Divine Son!”

As soon as these words were said, Gu Tian Yi hesitated before continuing in a serious tone, “I am also very impressed by your talents. If you are willing to join our Imperial Ancestor Court Faction, I can help you with this matter!”

“Oh?” A flash passed through Su Mo’s eyes. Gu Tian Yi’s intention of coming to see him was not surprising to him.

However, this man was also not simple. He did not directly try to pull Su Mo in to join his faction and also did not promise any benefits to Su Mo.

He first pointed out Su Mo’s current predicament before extending his invitation.

At this moment, he could not reject Gu Tian Yi and shouldn’t reject.

Furthermore, by joining Gu Tian Yi’s faction, he would not be able to obtain any benefits and would even have to thank Gu Tian Yi for helping him!

Of course, Su Mo was not very concerned over the benefits and gifts he would have. Su Mo wanted someone’s backing to ensure his own safety.

Although this man was deep and complex, his proposal was a win-win situation for the both of them.

Su Mo seemed to be deep in thought, yet, he had actually already decided to join Gu Tian Yi’s faction, he just did not say it straight away.

Upon seeing this, Gu Tian Yi continued, “Brother Su, you may not know this but though your talents are the best, the other factions are not going to involve themselves in this matter anymore!”

“Oh? They are all afraid of the Taishi Family?” Su Mo asked.

“Yes!”

Gu Tian Yi lightly answered before he cautioned, “If you had not killed so many people, they would have tried to rope you in to join their factions. However, you enraged the Taishi Family, if any faction dares to pull you in to join them, they would definitely suffer consequences from the Taishi Family!”

“Then are you not afraid?” Su Mo stared at Gu Tian Yi. The other factions are all retreating backwards already, but this guy isn’t afraid of the repercussions?”

Unless, Gu Tian Yi is willing to go against the Taishi Family all for Su Mo!

“Afraid!” Gu Tian Yi heavily nodded his head. Then, he changed his tone and said in a serious manner, “however, to get such a talent like yourself to join my faction, it wouldn’t matter if we have to fight against the Taishi Family.”

Gu Tian Yi’s held himself high, as though he were willing to sacrifice everything for Su Mo.

“Since Brother Gu looks so highly upon me, I wouldn’t have any reason to reject you!”

Su Mo nodded his head. He wouldn’t reject Gu Tian Yi since he had completely shown his sincerity.

However, Su Mo was also slightly cautious. Even for him, he could not help feeling slightly moved by hearing Gu Tian Yi’s words.

Even if it were some other less-cautious person, he would still have to give thanks to Gu Tian Yi.

This man effortlessly moved him. Although his method was simple, it was definitely extra-ordinary.

“Haha! Since it is like that, Brother Su will be a member of our Imperial Ancestor Court Faction from today onwards!” Smiles blossomed on Gu Tian Yi’s face.

Compared to all the other Holy Sons, he wanted Su Mo to join his faction the most because he was different from all the other Holy Sons.

The Holy Sons of other factions only wanted to attract geniuses into their factions in order to complete their tasks assigned by their superiors.

As for him, he did this for himself, to bring in a core member for his faction in preparation for future events.

“Mmph, thank you Brother Gu!” Su Mo cupped his fists and thanked Gu Tian Yi.

“Don’t stand on ceremony Brother Su. Theres no time for delay for this matter, I will go and settle it now and try as much as I can to help you with the Taishi Family!” Gu Tian Yi stood up.

“I will have to trouble you Brother Gu!” Su Mo said.

“Bye!” Gu Tian Yu did not converse further with Su Mo before he turned and left.

Staring at the back of Gu Tian Yi, a flash passed through Su Mo’s eyes. He did not know that he had caused such trouble.

13 factions, 13 Superpowers working together, competing against each other and relying on each other, how could a war possibly begin?

Perhaps settling this matter for Gu Tian Yi would be rather simple.

Then, Su Mo did not ponder on this matter further and settled down to begin cultivation. He believed that since Gu Tian Yi had dared to pull him into the Imperial Ancestor Court Faction, he would be able to settle the matter.

He had to focus on his own cultivation. He now had a countless number of resources and had to concentrate on improving himself.

As Su Mo cultivated, the news of him joining the Imperial Ancestor Court Faction became known all over the academy.

Chaos ensued in the academy. What did Su Mo entering the Imperial Ancestor Court Faction mean?

This meant that the Imperial Ancestor Court Faction had given Su Mo their backing.

The Taishi Family was further infuriated by this matter and was in an uproar.

However, later on, Gu Tian Yi met with the core members of the Taishi family for an entire hour.

No one was sure what Gu Tian Yi offered that had made the Taishi family announce after he left that they would not investigate Su Mo for killing the eighty disciples.

The chaos after this matter slowly subsided with time.

Of course, everyone knew that this was just a superficial peace that they enjoyed now. The Taishi Family could not have just let Su Mo go like that.

Time flew by quickly and in the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.

Half a month later, Su Mo ended his cultivation. His cultivation was already pretty much good, and he could try to break through to the Rank 5 Martial Emperor Realm already.

The reason why he could cultivate so quickly was because in the few months that he was returning from the Heavenly Underworld Star, he was already cultivating and did not waste precious time.

As for the matter with Taishi Family, he found out that the best conclusion had been reached from Nie Qian and Han Ying.

However, although the Taishi Family was no longer pursuing this matter, Su Mo would not just let them go. If he had the chance in the future, he would definitely kill You Tian Han.

A few days ago, a disciple from the Imperial Ancestor Court Faction had come and invited him to live at Gu Tian Yi’s ‘Tian Yi Peak’.

Regarding this, Su Mo had kindly turned him down, he was comfortable living at Huo Yuan Peak.

After finishing his cultivation, Su Mo used a large rock to seal up the entrance to his cave before he entered the space in the jade bracelet to prepare to break through to the next rank.

Once he entered the space of the jade bracelet, Su Mo immediately felt for the presence of the three Sorcerer Tribe members in it.

After pondering for a while, Su Mo thought that he could kill these three people since they were no longer of any use.

However, after thinking that he might encounter the Sorcerer Tribe men again in the future, he suppressed his murderous thoughts and decided to spare them! They might be useful in the future.

Sitting cross legged in the palace of the jade bracelet, Su Mo took out a large number of Divine Elixirs and prepared to advance to the next rank.

Releasing his Devouring Fighting Soul, the Divine Elixirs were immediately sucked into the Fighting Soul.

In an instant, dense Dark Force exploded out and rushed into Su Mo.
