I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God Chapter 1267: I Shall Go Personally
Previously on I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God...
Yao Qianji burst into a fit of boisterous laughter as he watched the dust clouds billow into the air.
"Hahaha!"
"In all my years, I have rarely encountered such a reckless man who so blatantly seeks his own demise!"
The Black Dragon Divine Guards shared in the joy of their presumed success, trading glances and laughing with equal fervor.
"Hahaha..."
But.
At the very front of this arrogant assembly.
Liu Haotian and several elderly women remained fixated on the dense haze. The longer they observed the scene, the more familiar it appeared, and a heavy sense of dread began to settle in their hearts.
Only a few moments passed.
Disturbed by the mockery surrounding him, Liu Haotian turned his head and spoke sharply.
"You."
"Contact the Divine Palace this instant! Tell my father to send someone to escort this Young Master home!"
Yao Qianji was visibly stunned by the command.
Observing the desperation in Liu Haotian’s expression, he assumed the Young Master was merely eager to return to the palace. He feared his chance to gain favor was about to vanish.
He couldn't let that happen.
This Young Master was a high-ranking VIP, a figure he usually had no hope of encountering. Now that he had finally established a link, how could he let it slip away?
With a sycophantic grin, Yao Qianji hurried to reassure him.
"Young Master, please calm yourself..."
"This humble servant lacks the authority and the means to message the Divine Palace directly. Please, do not worry, Young Master. These insignificant insects aren't worth your concern. Why bother the Divine Palace for such a trivial matter? I will personally slaughter them all and reclaim your honor!"
Liu Haotian grew increasingly frantic as he listened to this boastful talk!
This absolute moron!
Where did this blind confidence come from?!
Even he, Liu Haotian, had been unable to overcome that terrifying foe. How did this pack of groveling flatterers have the nerve to brag so shamelessly?
Just as he was about to erupt in fury.
Yi Feng stepped slowly out from the settling dust.
His expression was one of mild annoyance and helplessness as he spoke.
"Is that the best you can do?"
"You have the audacity to call others 'lowly scum' with such pathetic skills? I expected something impressive!"
As he spoke, he turned a calm gaze toward Liu Haotian.
"Liu, you always act so superior, constantly bragging about your father’s greatness... But from what I see here, your father isn't much to look at either..."
Liu Haotian’s face turned a deep shade of crimson!
"How dare you compare that garbage to my father! You have gone too far with these insults!"
Meanwhile, Yao Qianji and his subordinates were frozen in shock. They suddenly realized the situation had taken a disastrous turn, and their eyes began to fill with pure dread!
Before any of them could move.
Yi Feng unsheathed his forty-meter-long greatsword.
"Oh, so he isn't your father. You were just putting on a show this whole time. What a massive waste of energy!"
With a single leap, he charged forward like a predator among prey!
Within seconds.
The sounds of breaking bones echoed continuously through the mines as the Black Dragon Divine Guards were utterly decimated.
Though they provided very little experience, the fact that someone had come for Liu Haotian meant the true culprit was likely nearby. After leaving a few orders, Yi Feng headed back to the town to wait for the next move.
Down at the base of the mountain.
Yao Qianji lay dead, his pale face frozen in a mask of terror and his eyes wide open.
Liu Haotian watched the scene, grinding his teeth in such rage that he nearly felt like desecrating the corpse!
Incompetent!
A total failure!
The rescue he had waited for so long was ruined by this idiot's pride. Now he was stuck mining again, with no idea when he would get his revenge...
For a moment.
Liu Haotian bit his lip and stared at the sky, feeling a strange longing for his past life.
As Yi Feng departed once more, the workers in the mine seemed to take it in stride. The Elder from the Shendao Sect walked over with a practiced air to get them back to work.
"Get back to the pits!"
"Stop staring at the clouds and acting important! Who are you trying to impress!"
...
Divine Fall Palace.
Inside a side chamber.
A lone figure sat as the hour of Zi drew near.
The steward elder had yet to receive any word. He gripped the jade slip tightly, his brow deeply furrowed.
His anxiety grew with every passing minute, and he began to whisper to himself.
"This is wrong..."
"Yao Qianji is a man of some reputation in the outer lands. Based on his previous report, he seemed to know his place. Why is he so late? He gave his word to bring the Young Master back, so why is there silence?"
Panic filled the steward's eyes as he realized he would soon have to answer to Liu Changfeng.
After pacing the room for a while.
He grabbed the jade slip again to send another frantic message.
...
Broken Cliff Ancient City.
The main hall of the Black Dragon Divine Guards.
The Third Elder waited in the silent, cavernous hall. With no news arriving, he stood up and paced, his eyes showing his growing desperation.
"By all accounts, Lord Yao should have been back by now!"
As he spoke.
An illusory image of a powerful figure from the Divine Land appeared in the hall, demanding answers!
"Where is Yao Qianji? Why has he ignored my messages?!"
The Third Elder stood quickly and bowed, his expression strained.
"The Sect Master’s location is unknown; I do not know where he has gone..."
He was cut off mid-sentence.
A series of sharp, explosive cracks rang out from outside!
"Crack! Crack!"
A Black Dragon Divine Guard stumbled into the room immediately after, trembling as he gave his report!
"Th-third Elder, a catastrophe!"
"Lord Yao’s soul tablet... and all the others... they have all shattered at once!"
The Third Elder’s eyes bulged in horror, his entire body shaking!
"What?!"
He didn't wait for more details before sprinting out.
When he reached the chamber where the soul tablets were kept, he froze as if struck by a bolt of lightning!
Before him...
Every soul tablet, regardless of size, was in pieces. Even Yao Qianji’s tablet was nothing more than a pile of broken shards on the floor.
How could this be?!
The entire elite force of the Black Dragon Divine Guards had been wiped out, their very Dao extinguished!
What could have possibly happened?!
The powerful Black Dragon Divine Guards had been annihilated?!
The Third Elder shook violently until his legs gave out, leaving him collapsed on the ground.
Behind him.
The phantom of the Divine Fall Palace steward watched for a few moments before slowly fading away.
...
Divine Fall Palace.
The steward elder opened his eyes, his face pale with shock.
He never imagined that the entire Black Dragon Divine Guard Sect could be slaughtered. It appeared a terrifying power existed in the Northern Desert Wasteland. He couldn't fathom what kind of nightmare Yao Qianji and his men had walked into.
They were all dead. What had happened to the Young Master?
Hiss...
The more he thought about it, the more the steward panicked. A dark foreboding took hold of him, making it impossible to stay still.
Realizing the hour of Zi was almost here.
He stood up and hurried to the main hall, throwing himself onto the floor to report!
"I report to the Elder!"
"This subordinate deserves death! I found the Young Master's location and sent Yao Qianji to bring him home. I never expected the entire Black Dragon Divine Guard sect to be destroyed!"
"The Young Master... his condition is still unknown. I beg the Elder for punishment!"
Upon hearing this.
Liu Changfeng paused and set his jade slip down.
His usually calm, deep eyes flickered with a hint of surprise.
"Such an event has transpired?!"
With those few words, a crushing aura filled the hall like a sudden storm!
The steward elder was pressed against the floor, his voice shaking as he replied.
"It is the truth!"
"I do not know what horror they faced, but every soul tablet in the Black Dragon Divine Guard sect has broken. No messages have come back. This is entirely my failure. I beg for your judgment!"
Liu Changfeng narrowed his eyes and stroked his beard, looking down at the kneeling elder.
"Yao Qianji..."
"If I recall correctly, that man had a strong Cultivation base in the outer regions. He was a ninth-grade Heaven Tier cultivator. It is indeed surprising that his whole sect was wiped out."
"This matter... is not entirely your fault."
"That is enough..."
"There is no need to delegate this anymore. It has been ten millennia since I last left these halls. I will go personally to bring Tian'er back. While I am there, I shall see what strange thing hides in that insignificant Northern Desert Wasteland."
The steward elder was stunned by the statement, remaining facedown in shock for a long time, not daring to move.
The Elder was personally descending to the outer lands...
Such an event had not been seen in ten thousand years, and it was certain to shake the world!
