Warrior's Promise

The Sky-sea Pavilion declared its stand, and the Emperor Xuan Palace and the East Sea Flood-dragon tribe did too.

It not only surprised everyone else but also worried them.

Nobody dared to act rashly once Su Mo obtained the help of these three forces.

Actually, both the Sky-sea Pavilion and the Emperor Xuan Palace were intricately tied to Su Mo, so their support was reasonable. However, why the Flood-dragon tribe give its full support to Su Mo?

It was obvious that the Flood-dragon tribe attached great importance to Su Mo by gifting him a rare pseudo Dragon Ball.

"Did they truly take a fancy to Su Mo, or did they have other purposes?" everybody wondered.

After the three major forces stated their positions, other forces also gave their verbal blessings.

"Congratulations to Palace Master Su!"

"Congratulations on the rebirth of Firmament Palace!"

"Palace Master Su is bound to revive the Firmament Palace with your extraordinary talent!"

"Reviving the Firmament Palace requires incalculable resources. How much more inner power does it need? If needed, our clan can help!"

The experts of other forces spoke one after another. Some congratulated, some boosted and courted Su Mo, while others inquired about the inner power of the Firmament Palace.

Su Mo sneered behind his pleasant front and announced, "The Firmament Palace's revival is inevitable, and it won't take long!"

"Oh, why is Palace Master Su so confident?" an expert of the Dugus asked in doubt with twinkling eyes.

This was Dugu Yan himself, the Highest Elder of the Dugus.

"Confidence comes from strength!" Su Mo said casually.

"Oh, Palace Master Su, would you please tell me how strong the Firmament Palace is now?" Dugu Yan continued.

The Dugus and Su Mo bore grudges against each other. When they were in the Jade Cloud Lake, the Dugus had wanted to snatch the Billion Demonic Sword, but the Devour-sky Dragon King had impeded them.

Fortunately, they did not fight against Su Mo substantially, and they did not have bad history. The Dugus yearned to figure out the strength of the Firmament Palace.

"The Firmament Palace's strength is enough to destroy the Dugus!" Su Mo said firmly with eyes aglow.

"What?" Everyone was stunned with a surprised look.

Strong enough to destroy the Dugus?

The crowd did not believe it at all. As one of the nine major forces of the Humans, the Dugus' strength as well as its inner power were too formidable for Su Mo to destroy!

Even if Su Mo was at Lv 2 Martial Royal Realm, it was impossible for him to succeed.

As for the puppets behind Su Mo, in spite of their mighty strength, everyone could guess that they must be subject to some restrictions.

Otherwise, Su Mo could rule all the land with these nine puppets.

"Palace Master Su, what do you mean?" Dugu Yan asked, and his face clouded over. Was Su Mo warning him?

"Nothing. It is just Firmament Palace's strength!" Su Mo answered with a smile.

Of course, he did just warn Dugu Yan. The Dugus would suffer a destructive hit if they had any evil thoughts.

Although the Firmament Palace temporarily did not have such strength, it would soon after.

Dugu Yan's face was drawn. He was about to lose his temper, but subdued it for fear of the puppets.

Thereupon, Dugu Yan closed his eyes and said no more.

Su Mo glanced over all the people in the hall. This time, apart from the Netherworld Devil Sect, all of the nine major forces of the Humans were here.

Presumably the experts of the Netherworld Devil Sect knew they would fight against Su Mo to the last gasp.

Meanwhile, the Demons' five major forces, such as the Burning Clouds Island of the South Sea, the East Sea flood dragon tribe, the Raging Sharks of the West Sea tribe, the Demons Mountain and the Sky Lake Palace, had all dispatched their experts to come here.

Simultaneously, there were over one hundred other forces at the secondary level present, like the Yin-yang Palace.

"Palace Master Su, how will the Firmament Palace develop next?" asked an expert.

Everyone pricked up their ears and waited for Su Mo's reply in silence.

This was the great event that concerned the future of the Firmament World. Everyone did not like to imagine the Firmament Palace developing boldly, recruiting lots of disciples and seizing resources everywhere.

After all, the Firmament World had limited resources, and no one was willing to let someone else have their possessions.

"The Firmament Palace has 200,000 disciples at present, so I won't open our main gate to recruit disciples for the time being. You can rest assured!" Su Mo said in low voice.

He already had an elaborated plan for the development of the Firmament Palace.

On no condition must he recruit disciples currently. Otherwise, many people of other forces would sneak in through this process to suss the Firmament Palace out.

The Firmament Palace now lacked for nothing. What it only needed was to develop internally, which did not require Su Mo's help.

As long as he strived to improve his cultivation and moved one or two tiers higher, he could be almost untouchable in the Firmament World.

It would be completely easy to perish the Netherworld Devil Sect and unify the Firmament World by then.

However, Su Mo needed too many Spiritual Stones to promote his cultivation. Having consuming 70% to 80% of the Supreme Spiritual Stones and piles of Spiritual Herbs in the jade bracelet, he had to think of another way!

"I see!" everyone said, nodding.

In the following time, quite a few experts talked with Su Mo in succession, and Su Mo seemed rather talkative outwardly.

He did not gave exact answers to some people's insinuations.

After a good while, many people excused themselves.

They had found out all they could, while others would not get answers from Su Mo. Therefore, they were not planning to stay any longer.

Su Mo accordingly instructed his puppets to send them away from the Firmament Palace.

"Brother Jiang, please stay here for a few more days to catch up with me!" Su Mo invited Jiang Fengran.

Jiang Fengran, standing behind the two experts of the Xuan Sect, had been waiting for Su Mo to handle his queries.

Last time, Su Mo asked him to come by all means but never told him why.

Hearing what Su Mo said, the two experts' eyes flashed. Although they knew Jiang Fengran was acquainted with Su Mo, they were unable to make out why Jiang Fengran should be left alone in the Firmament Palace.

Now that Su Mo said he wanted to catch up, they did not ask more. They could just ask Jiang Fengran for details afterwards.

"Alright!" Jiang Fengran nodded his head and responded.

Moments later, all the major forces left. Only Su Mo and Jiang Fengran were in the Firmament Palace.

In fact, Su Mo had attempted to ask Zhan Luan to stay as well, but he gave up.

All in all, his relationship with Zhan Luan was tied only by a battle. They even barely knew each other, so he had better talk with him later!

"Brother Jiang, do you know who these nine seat belong to?" Su Mo stepped down from the main seat to Jiang Fengran's side and asked with a smile.

"I don't know!" Jiang Fengran replied, shaking his head. He had only a extremely limited acquaintance with the Firmament Palace.

"You're aware that the Firmament Palace is divided into nine palaces, right? The nine palaces' Palace Masters are in charge of these seats!" Su Mo said.

"Nine palaces' Palace Master?" Jiang Fengran arched his eyebrow upon hearing that. Then, something occurred to him.

"That's right!" Su Mo peered at Jiang Fengran with sparkling eyes, saying, "I want to make you one of them."
