I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God Chapter 1363: Leaving It to Fate
Previously on I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God...
Observing the skepticism in Wu Tao's expression, the group hastily gestured while offering an explanation.
"Mr. Wu, don't let this icy wasteland deceive you. Beneath the surface lies an entirely distinct realm. There is a hidden elevator nearby, completely unknown to ordinary mortals. Once we descend, we shall locate Sister Han."
"Indeed. This glacier appears barren, seemingly incapable of supporting life, yet a remarkably prosperous city thrives deep below."
"Global powers have long known of its existence, yet nobody dares infringe upon this icy territory. That underground metropolis was established by Sister Han, and nobody wishes to invite disaster by provoking her."
"It is truly bizarre. Despite countless clandestine investigations by various nations, they have uncovered nothing. One has to wonder what methods Sister Han utilizes to maintain such absolute secrecy."
"Alas, she is truly deserving of her formidable reputation!"
...
As he listened to their awestruck whispers, Wu Tao cast his gaze where they pointed.
His eyes met only a vast, unending shroud of snow and ice. The bigwigs were correct; there were zero imperfections visible, and even the most advanced technology could detect no anomalies.
The only viable path was to locate the elevator and penetrate the underground city.
However, these remained merely the observations of common mortals, which Wu Tao could not possibly accept as the full truth.
After a brief inspection, he narrowed his eyes and channeled his spiritual sense.
When his eyelids parted once more, a brilliant starlight flickered within his pupils. Instantly, the facade of ice and snow dissipated, and the legendary underground city came into clear view, unveiling the truth of the location.
It was, in reality, a pocket dimension—a world entirely unto itself.
The elevator served as nothing more than a simple veil to facilitate entry into this realm.
If the nations of the Blue Planet were actually capable of detecting such a profound domain that harnessed the very Qi of heaven and earth, it would be a true miracle.
A faint smile touched Wu Tao’s lips as he casually mirrored their earlier remarks.
"Indeed, she is truly worthy of her name, Sister Han."
The high-ranking officials nodded fervently, their eyes filled with genuine reverence.
They advanced a few steps across the frozen surface.
The lead elder skillfully uncovered a switch concealed beneath a colossal chunk of ice. Upon his gentle touch, the boulder retracted, revealing a sleek glass elevator.
Judging by his fluid movements, this was clearly not his maiden voyage.
Wu Tao didn't dwell on the matter. He stepped into the car, his mind focused elsewhere. As the elevator descended for several minutes, a dazzling, illuminated metropolis emerged. Encased by a colossal defensive wall, the city offered a breathtaking view from the elevator—a sight that left his companions staring in wide-eyed wonder.
As he beheld the nocturnal glow of this hidden civilization, a flicker of anticipation ignited within Wu Tao’s gaze...
As the descent persisted, the city’s skyline was gradually obscured by the massive walls. As the high-rises faded from sight, a look of unease began to creep into the eyes of the other men.
The prospect of re-entering this domain left them noticeably apprehensive.
The brief, silent exchanges between them failed to alleviate their mounting nerves.
Shuffling backward, the men cautiously directed their focus toward the elder.
"Grand Commander, is it not far too reckless to accompany Mr. Wu here without prior notice, bringing him to the city so openly?"
"Exactly. We don't even know his intentions regarding Sister Han. We rushed off in our excitement, and now I feel deeply troubled."
"You said it yourself. What if they turn out to be enemies? What then?!"
"It would be fine if Mr. Wu prevailed, but if he falls… and Sister Han seeks retribution against us, we will be finished."
"Are we meant to break our word now?"
"Ah, this..."
The mere thought drained the color from their faces; their voices dropped to fearful whispers as the situation grew increasingly grim.
The lead elder remained remarkably stoic, offering only a heavy sigh.
"Sigh..."
"Things have reached this point; it is too late for regrets. We gave our word to Mr. Wu, and we must honor it. Now that we are here, we must simply see it through."
"Besides, do we even possess the authority to object?"
At his final point, the men fell silent, bowing their heads in resignation.
He was right.
Whether it was Mr. Wu or Sister Han, both were entities who had far surpassed the mortal coil. They were beyond the reach of normal logic. Even the might of a superpower would hesitate to cross them, let alone a few subordinates.
With neither side being someone they could afford to offend, they had no choice but to leave it to fate!
The men huddled, hands tucked deep into their sleeves, faces tight with anxiety. Despite their lofty positions, they resembled rustic villagers stepping into a grand city for the first time. Had Captain Hao seen them, he would have been utterly dumbstruck.
They kept their eyes fixed ahead, not daring to speak another word.
Finally, the elevator halted with a melodic chime.
"Ding!"
The sound startled them, and they reflexively looked up.
The elevator doors parted to reveal total shadow. The massive city gates loomed like a gateway to judgment, causing their hearts to beat in frantic anticipation.
The outcome of this encounter remained impossible to foresee.
They could only pray that neither party was in a hostile mood!
Under the suffocating tension, the elder quietly introduced the area to Wu Tao.
"Mr. Wu."
"This is the underground city. If the gate parts, it signifies that Sister Han has chosen to receive us. If there is no reaction, there is nothing more we can do."
Wu Tao listened to the elder’s somber words and offered a faint nod, his expression radiating calm confidence.
"The gate will open."
The declaration sent a wave of shock through the men!
Sister Han was a pinnacle figure of the world. Even world leaders struggled to secure an audience. How could Mr. Wu be so certain the gate would yield?
His tone suggested a familiar history. Were they old comrades—or perhaps ancient adversaries?
Before they could digest this, the massive ice gate erupted with a thunderous roar.
"Rumble!!!"
Brilliant, dazzling light flooded the passage as the gates ascended, revealing the expressions of the group perfectly. Inside stood a woman whose silhouette was enough to shake the foundations of reality.
The simple sight of her outline sent shivers down the spine of the Grand Commander, whose face hardened instantly.
As the gates fully retracted, the intense illumination bathed the room, finally revealing the legendary beauty.
Dressed in a fiery, form-fitting gown that accentuated her perfect proportions, she possessed an allure that defied explanation; her bare collarbones and flawless skin made her look like a masterwork of art. Even in this glacial climate, she radiated incredible charm. To see her once was to never forget her—calling her a queen was a gross understatement.
Yet, the elders dared not linger on her beauty, paralyzed by the knowledge of the terrifying power lurking beneath that aesthetic perfection.
Putting aside the bloody history she had carved for herself, including the time she single-handedly dismantled the Eagle Nation’s interests, her very presence created an atmosphere of absolute submission.
The ambient temperature was freezing, yet she stood there with a healthy glow, exuding warmth and charm that made the men feel as though they were shielding themselves from a gathering storm.
Only a fool would let lust cloud their judgment; she was clearly a force of nature.
Just then.
Wu Tao took a step forward, his smile relaxed and casual.
"Big Sister Han, it has been quite a while."
"Tap, tap..."
The woman approached with a graceful gait, a playful, crimson smile curling on her lips.
"Greetings, Second Young Master."
"Oh, Sister Han, you are teasing me again," Wu Tao replied, rolling his eyes as he shook his head.
She covered her mouth and giggled, "It has been so long since your last visit. Tell me, did you bring me a treat?"
Wu Tao reached into his shorts pocket with a slightly embarrassed expression.
"Look at you, still as disheveled as ever. Your master is far too lax with you; it seems I shall have to take over your discipline myself," she chided, feigning a serious tone.
"Sigh, Sister Han, you never change—always wanting to manage everything."
"You little brat, how dare you mock me? Just you wait until I show you how to behave."
The two bantered with the ease of siblings who had been separated by a long journey.
Watching the exchange, the group felt the collective weight lifted from their shoulders.
The absence of hostility was clear; they were not enemies, but rather, they shared a remarkably warm relationship.
What a relief; their fears had been entirely misplaced.
If they had indeed been rivals, the clash that would have followed would surely have decimated the entire area—a consequence none of them could have survived.
While they conversed, the pair completely ignored the men standing behind them. Sister Han didn't even offer a glance, treating them as if they were invisible, yet no one dared to voice a complaint. In her presence, their status meant nothing; they lacked the stature to be offended.
