Warrior's Promise

Chapter 2393: Father and Son

“You should just remain guarding Ultimate Supreme Being City. With you around, I’m more at ease!” Ultimate Supreme Being shook his head lightly and said.

In that moment, Ultimate Supreme Being turned cold for a second. As an Advanced Supreme Being, after living for so many years, how can he not tell that something was amiss about Zi Xiao?

Perhaps Zi Xiao was really what the rumours have portrayed him as.

That would mean a complete act of betrayal against Ultimate Supreme Being.

Zi Xiao’s heart sank, knowing that he could not convince Ultimate Supreme Being any further. If he added another push, it would be too far over the line and arouse suspicion instead.

“You shall stay in Ultimate Supreme Being Palace. Until I come back, you cannot leave!” Ultimate Supreme Being said out loud in the presence of everybody.

“Yes!” They all replied.

“Alright. I shall take my leave!” Ultimate Supreme Being glanced at everyone again and disappeared in a flash.

However, Zi Xiao and Ling Chang did not notice that before his departure, Ultimate Supreme Being gave Snow Supreme Being and Destructive Supreme Being a thoughtful look.

Snow Supreme Being and Destructive Supreme Being took the hint immediately that they had to spy on Zi Xiao and Ling Chang.

Snow Supreme Being and Destructive Supreme Being felt a little helpless at heart now that Ultimate Supreme Being had lost his trust in Zi Xiao and Ling Chang completely.

After Ultimate Supreme Being’s departure, Zi Xiao looked at Ling Chang coldly and left.

He returned to Zi Xiao Sword Palace, then he summoned his trusted confidant immediately.

“Tianxu, I need you to complete a task!” He said, looking down sternly at the teen from above.

This teen was dressed in a long blue robe, seemingly thin and weak, but he stood tall and confident like a pillar.

This disciple’s name was Chu Tianxu, he was old-fashioned and had a permanent blank stare, as if he was cold and nonchalant about everything in the world.

Chu Tianxu was Zi Xiao’s confidant because he was Zi Xiao’s disciple within his Secret Room.

“Palace Master, my purpose is to serve you. I will be at your service whenever you need me,” Chu Tianxu said.

“Yes.”

“Leave quietly and make a trip to Ultimate Supreme Being City as soon as possible to keep me updated to Ultimate Supreme Being and Qin Yun!” Zi Xiao then commanded.

Having said that, Zi Xiao waved his arm and a palm-sized, blue jade pendant appeared in front of Chu Tianxu.

The jade pendant contained a trace of Zi Xiao’s consciousness and if it were to be crushed, Zi Xiao would know immediately.

This was in preparation for his own escape. If Ultimate Supreme Being met Qin Yun, Zi Xiao would be exposed and he had to leave Ultimate Supreme Being Palace immediately.

If Ultimate Supreme Being were not around, then there would be no one to stop Zi Xiao.

As for his authority as a palace master in Zi Xiao Sword Palace, he was not concerned because so long as he was powerful, he would gain the respect of people wherever he went.

“Understood!” Chu Tianxu nodded without expression, knowing instantly what Zi Xiao wanted exactly after hearing all the rumours.

Seeing Zi Xiao having to resort to this, it was clear to him that the rumours must have been true then.

“Good, Tianxu, you must be careful, don’t let anyone discover you!” Zi XIao warned, but he still had great trust in Tianxu. Tianxu was a talented Demon. Even though he was not one of the Favored Ones, he was close enough to be one.

Furthermore, as for Chu Tianxu’s cultivation level, he had already become a Rank 9 True God 200 years ago, and thus he was really powerful.

Also, being a disciple only behind the closed doors of his Secret Room, nobody in Ultimate Supreme Being Palace would know Tianxu’s identity, and thus Zi Xiao had a lot of trust in Tianxu.

“Yes, Palace Master!” Chu Tianxu nodded and took his leave.

As he watched Chu Tianxu’s back view disappear, Zi Xiao’s expression was dark and he sighed uncontrollably.

At first, he thought with Qian Xunyue around, he would be able to coerce Su Mo into submission, but not only did it fail, it had pushed him to be at his wit’s end and that made him sullen.

At this juncture, he wished desperately that he could just destroy the corpse of Qian Xunyue.

However, her body was not with him but hidden somewhere beyond Ultimate Supreme Being City.

“Perhaps there’s still a chance for a turnover!” Zi Xiao took a deep sigh. As long as the news that Qin Yun has been captured was fake, or that Human Palace was unwilling to release Qin Yun, everything would be alright.

But, there was a greater possibility that after Human Palace got the Ultimate Sword Art and Ultimate Holy Sword, they would have already killed Qin Yun.

…

At Ultimate Supreme Being City, due to recent events, the guards on defence had been much stricter.

Before the city gate, there were many guards. Nearly fifty powerful and highly-skilled disciples were on duty. Amongst them, the lowest cultivation level was already at Rank 5 while the highest had actually reached Rank 9.

Step! Step! Step!

In the high grounds, a middle-aged man with a big build dressed in a yellow robe walked over in mid-air. In between breaths, he landed before the Ultimate Supreme Being City gate.

“Who are you?” The leader of the pack of guards asked immediately upon the sight of this young man in his yellow robe.

Due to the many events that had happened, everyone apart from Ultimate Supreme Being himself had to go through a thorough check.

“I am Sixuan, and I am here to visit my son Siyan!” The man said and greeted the guards with his cupped fists with great respect.

“You are Siyan’s father?” The guard asked with shock, having heard that Sixuan was a genius that Ultimate Supreme Being solicited a while back.

According to rumor, Sixuan was extremely talented. He cultivated Fire Based Rules and possessed more than 3 Primordial Spirits. Although his cultivation level was currently low, his potential in the future was unlimited.

“Yes, my dear son had recently joined Ultimate Supreme Being Palace so I’m here for a visit!” The man replied cheerily.

“Hold on! I’ll send my man to pass on the message.” The head of the guards replied and immediately sent some men into the city to give the message.

The man nodded slightly and waited quietly.

A short while later, a young man was seen speedily approaching from within the city.

He was wearing a fiery red robe, was handsome and had an aura to him.

If it were Su Mo, he would have recognised immediately that it was Si Kongyan.

“Father, why are you here?” He approached the man in yellow robes and asked with agitation.

“Haha, I missed you, so I’m here!” The man in yellow robe smiled.

“Let’s go! I’ll bring you around the city.” Si Kongyan joyfully led his father by the arm and they walked into the city.

“Siyan, outsiders of this city must not stay for more than 2 hours!” The guard reminded him.

“Understood!” Si Kongyan nodded and led his father quickly into the city.

“Siyan is so gifted, his father seems mediocre!”

“Definitely very,mediocre, he’s only a low Rank 2!”

“The father is like a dog compared to the son that is like a tiger! There’s no better comparison!”

After Si Kongyan had left, a group of guards started to discuss him in low voices. In their opinion, it felt unusual that Si Kongyan was so incredibly talented while his father’s cultivation level was, simply put, dreadful.
