Warrior’s Promise-Chapter 2252 - Know Where You Stand

Chapter 2252: Know Where You Stand

At a huge courtyard in the Inner Palace.

There was a big garden with a pond in the courtyard. Qin’er was enjoying a plate of fragrant Spiritual Fruit at a pavilion by the pond.

“Has he been recruited into the Palace?” Qin’er looked at the middle-aged man outside the pavilion as she ate the Spiritual Fruit.

“Miss Qin’er, this guy is talented. He is currently an Outer Disciple!” The middle-aged deacon replied with a smile.

“Oh? How talented is he?” Qin’er asked curiously.

“This person’s Primordial Spirit is the Great Rotating Sacred Sword and it has been refined by the Chaotic Energy. Based on this alone, he has met the prerequisites to be a disciple of our Human Palace!” The deacon said.

“Other than the Great Rotating Sacred Sword, is there anything special about him?

Qin’er asked. Although the Great Rotating Sacred Sword Primordial Spirit was amazing, Duan Jingtian would only be considered an ordinary genius if he did not possess other Primordial Spirits or special skills.

“I did not check on the rest. However, if he has great talent, he will make his mark!” The deacon replied.

“Alright, I’ve got it! Uncle Wang, thank you for looking into this!” Qin’er nodded and said with a smile.

“Hoho, this is nothing. Miss Qin’er, if there is nothing else, I shall excuse myself!” The deacon said with a smile.

“Alright, Uncle Wang. You may leave!” Qin’er nodded.

After the deacon had left, Qin’er smiled and muttered to herself, “Duan Jingtian, I have helped you!”

She then shook her head and would no longer dwell on it. After all, Duan Jingtian was not her friend, only someone whom she had met a few times.

…

In the garret, Su Mo was still looking at the jade pendant.

He no longer had any resources for his cultivation and he had to understand the situation of the Human Palace before he could decide where to get his resources.

“Every month, 10 Lower-grade Dawn Stones will be given at the Outer Palace Administration Hall…!”

“There are 18 levels in the Lava Cave. Each time one goes through a level, he will receive five Lower-grade Dawn Stones. After every level, he will receive double the number of Dawn Stones. One is allowed to enter the Lava Cave once every month!”

“Outer Palace tasks. Dawn Stones will be awarded…!”

“Planting of Spiritual Herbs, Dawn Stones will be awarded…!”

Several ways of earning Dawn Stones were stated in the jade pendant.

After Su Mo had taken a good look at them, he decided to go for the Lava Cave.

That was the fastest way for him to earn the Dawn Stones at that moment.

When Su Mo thought of that, he left his garret and went to the Outer Palace Administration Hall. He showed his jade pendant and took the 10 Dawn Stones to which he was entitled.

After Su Mo left the Outer Palace Administration Hall, he intended to go to the Lava Cave.

Su Mo knew the location of the Lava Cave as it was clearly stated on the jade pendant.

However, the moment he stepped out of the Outer Palace Administration Hall, someone blocked his way.

“What do you want?” Su Mo stopped moving as he looked at Chu Yan, who was standing in front of him.

“Duan Jingtian, you are lucky to have Qin’er help you get into Human Palace!”

Chu Yan was in a yellow robe. He looked coldly at Su Mo, and he could not understand why Qin’er was so naïve.

“It is none of your business!” Su Mo said flatly.

Having said that, he headed in the direction of the Lava Cave.

“Stop where you are!”

Chu Yan shouted. In a flash, he came before Su Mo and said, “Let me warn you about this.”

“What is it?” Su Mo asked.

“In the future, stay away from Qin’er. If I see you going near her, I will not show you any mercy!” Chu Yan said coldly. He detested Duan Jingtian.

Anyone who tried to get close to Qin’er was his enemy.

“How are you related to Miss Qin’er?” Su Mo asked with a frown. He needed Qin’er to help him carry out his plan so there was no way for him to keep away from her.

“You don’t have to know!”

Chu Yan said proudly. He then continued and said, “Qin’er comes from a noble background and she is not someone ordinary disciple like you can get acquainted with. You have to know where you stand!”

“If you are not telling me how you are related to her, how can you convince me to keep away from her?” Su Mo sneered.

“It is because you are weak and you are not fit to say no to me!” Chu Yan said proudly.

“Excuse me, you are not related to Miss Qin’er, and so you have no right to demand anything of me!” Su Mo said flatly. Since Chu Yan refused to tell him about their relationship, Su Mo reckoned that Chu Yan was only one of Qin’er’s suitors.

A suitor has no right to put any demand on him! This is ridiculous!

“Are you trying to set yourself against me?” When Chu Yan heard what Su Mo had said, his face darkened.

An Outer Palace Disciple who has just joined the Palace is challenging him!

“I am not setting myself against anyone but I will not allow anyone to push me around. Excuse me!” Su Mo said coldly and left.

He is tired of living! Chu Yan looked ghastly pale and he was filled with killing intent.

An Outer Palace Disciple has openly challenged him. He must be tired of living!

Hoof!

Chu Yan took a deep breath. He would not deal with Su Mo as there were strict rules in the palace.

Su Mo had not committed any mistakes and thus he could not deal with him without a valid reason.

Are you going to the Lava Cave?

When Chu Yan saw the direction that Su Mo was heading in, he curled his lips into a smile.

Su Mo was heading in the direction of the Lava Cave, which was a favorite place for the Outer Palace Disciples.

You will never know where you stand unless you have been taught a lesson!

Chu Yan smiled and after waiting for a while, he walked toward Lava Cave.

…

Lava Cave was not in Human Palace.

As it was a place for the disciples to toughen up, there was a Teleportation Formation in Human Palace.

There was a Lava Hall in Human Palace that transported the disciples to Lava Cave.

Without paying a cent, Su Mo came to the Lava Hall and took the Teleportation Formation to the Lava Cave.

The area started to twirl around and the stars moved. Su Mo stood still as he came to a world that was at a high temperature.

There was a huge cave with a radius of about 33 kilometers.

The ground and the walls in the cave were all red in color.

The temperature was high and heatwave surged in the cave. It was so hot that it could melt any Martial Sage.

There was a big Lava Pool at the center of the cave. Purple magma rumbled and formed bubbles in the Pool.

When the bubbles burst, they released tremendous heat that could melt any metal.

Many disciples were surrounding the Lava Pool and there were around 1,000 of them.

What a high temperature! Su Mo was shocked. He could feel the high temperature even when no one had entered the Lava Pool.

According to the records in the jade pendant, the Lava Cave was constructed by a Supreme Being using the Nine Heavens Divine Flame. It was made specially to toughen the disciples.

Su Mo came to the side of the Lava Pool and he felt the tremendous heat instantly.
