Warrior's Promise Novel - Chapter 827
Chapter 827: Let Me Show You What I’ve Got
Su Mowalked out of his stone hut to see Teal Fire King in the backyard, staring dumbly into space.
“Little Brother!” Teal Fire King called out to Su Mo uneasily when he noticed Su Mo’s appearance.
Teal Fire King should have regained freedom by now, so he was extremely angry at himself for falling straight into Su Mo’s trap. However, he did not dare to show his anger.
“Teal Fire King, do you still recall your words earlier?” Su Mo said with a smile as he approached Teal FIre King.
Previously at the Hell Plane, Su Mo had rescued him only because he had sworn that he would be willing to be Su Mo’s servant.
If he dared to go back on his words now, Su Mo would kill him on the spot.
Teal Fire King fell silent. He had only blurted out those words in a fit of desperation as he would have died otherwise. Obviously, he now deeply regretted his earlier actions.
How could he, a Lv 5 Martial King Realm martial artist, acknowledge a True Darkness Realm martial artist as master? To him, this was an ultimate humiliation.
Unfortunately, his cultivation had been suppressed, so there was no room for him to protest.
Teal Fire King knew that if he went back on his word now, Su Mo would surely kill him.
He took a deep breath and looked straight at Su Mo as he replied, “I will naturally honor my word!”
Teal Fire King planned to serve Su Mo for the time being. He would then think of a way to escape from this bondage if an opportunity arose in the future.
Furthermore, if Su Mo perished one day, he would also regain his freedom.
“Very well!” Su Mo smiled. Then he said, “Don’t resist this!”
He pointed out with his finger at Teal Fire King’s forehead and a Dark Force imbued with his Mind entered Teal Fire King’s consciousness ocean.
This trace of his Mind would allow Su Mo to assume full control of Teal Fire King. If Teal Fire King disobeyed his orders, he could immediately activate this trace to cause an explosion in Teal Fire King’s consciousness ocean. This would kill him instantly.
Teal Fire King would not be able to get rid of this trace of Dark Force in his consciousness ocean either, because Su Mo would know once he attempted to do so and then immediately cause his Dark Force within Teal Fire King to explode.
Huangfu Qing had also attempted to control Su Mo in a similar way, but he had employed this method as a tracker to know where Su Mo was at any point in time, not to threat Su Mo’s life.
“From this day on, you shall be my servant!” Su Mo said solemnly. “You shall serve me faithfully and atone for your sins with your servitude! If I’m satisfied with your service, I might set you free one day. If not, you’ll definitely die!”
“I understand!” Teal Fire King nodded hastily, his face full of respect even as he cursed in his heart.
“Young punk, give me some time and I shall be your downfall one day. Wait till you see what I’ve got!” Teal Fire King thought to himself.
How dare a tiny True Darkness Realm martial artist even think of controlling him. Su Mo must be courting death!
“Uh…Master, shouldn’t you remove the seal on my cultivation?” Teal Fire King said as he looked hopefully at Su Mo. He could not bring himself to call lord and master, so he simply stuck to the term ‘master’.
Su Mo nodded. He immediately pressed his palm on Teal Fire King’s abdomen.
His Dark Force surged and entered Teal Fire King’s body as he attempted to break the seal on Teal Fire King’s cultivation.
Teal Fire King’s elixir field had been sealed by Master Cui and Su Mo realized that he had underestimated Master Cui’s strength when he took close to two hours to break the seal.
Teal Fire King regained his strength the moment his seal was broken and dense Dark Force flowed through his meridians.
As he relished in the feeling of recovering his strength, he was itching to slap Su Mo dead. Nonetheless, he controlled himself.
“Teal Fire King, are you familiar with Waste Domain?” Su Mo asked.
Teal Fire King had briefed him on the situation at Earth Gate, so Su Mo guessed that he must be familiar with Waste Domain.
“I had been here once before a couple of years ago, so I’m pretty familiar with this Domain!” Teal Fire King nodded.
“Have you heard of Ancient-treasure City?” Su Mo continued.
“Ancient-treasure City?” Teal Fire King repeated.
“Yes, I’ve been there once!”
“Very well. You shall lead me there!” Su Mo said with a small smile.
Then, Su Mo looked around with his Mind and when he saw that both Wenren Tiandu and Gong Lin were cultivating on a nearby mountain, he exited the Divine Map with Teal Fire King in tow.
“Whoosh!”
Two figures rushed out of the Sea of Sand in an endless desert and flew straight toward the sky.
“Teal Fire King, lead the way!” Su Mo commanded.
Teal Fire King nodded, and flew forward after he found his bearings.
Su Mo followed Teal Fire King to Ancient-treasure City.
Teal Fire King flew extremely quickly and was way ahead of Su Mo. As he turned to look back at Su Mo, a look of scorn flashed across his eyes.
Then, he mulled over how he should get rid of Su Mo as he flew ahead.
Dealing with a Lv 9 True Darkness Realm martial artist would be a piece of cake for him. All he needed to do was to formulate a plan and Su Mo would fall right into it!
The duo flew silently but extremely quickly and Space shattered wherever they flew past.
After 14 to 16 hours of being on the road, they finally approached Ancient-treasure City.
As Su Mo gazed at Ancient-treasure City in the distance, he was astonished. This was what an ancient city should look like!
This city was vast and neverending, many times larger than any city Su Mo had ever seen.
It was breathtakingly magnificent, as if it was erected on the highest peak of the entire continent. One could not help but feel extremely small in front of this city.
Its city walls were hundreds of meters tall and stood tall and majestic, overwhelming one with its authority.
However, this city was now left in ruins. A large portion of its city walls and its buildings had already collapsed into ashes.
Less than 10% of its buildings remained in pristine condition.
“Master, we’ve arrived at Ancient-treasure City!” Teal Fire King said with a smile.
“I see!” Su Mo nodded and turned to Teal Fire King, saying, “I’m here in search of a craftsmanship material known as the Dark Stone. I’ll reward you generously if you manage to find it!”
“I will do my best!” Teal Fire King said respectfully with a fist-palm salute.
“How could a mere True Darkness Realm martial artist even say things like rewarding me generously?” he scoffed to himself.
“Let’s head in then!”
Then, they flew even faster toward Ancient-treasure City.
They entered the city in a matter of seconds, then descended from the sky.
Ancient-treasure City had already been in ruins for a long time, so there was no defensive formation protecting the city. Thus, Su Mo and Teal Fire King easily entered the city.
Su Mo looked around and saw that there were many martial artists scattered around still scavaging for treasure.
Su Mo could not help but frown. Now that so many martial artists had already scoured this place for treasure, what other treasures could be found here! The chances of him finding craftsmanship materials were even slimmer!
