I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God Chapter 1259: What Backing Can Ants and Flies Have

The Northern Desolate Wastelands.

The mining site was bustling with activity.

One wave of cultivators left, and another wave of people from the Divine Path Sect arrived. Though it seemed the owners had changed, in reality, nothing was different. The memory of Yi Feng's formidable presence was still fresh; he could return at any moment. The Black Dragon Divine Guards seethed with silent anger, not daring to speak out, and could only focus on digging diligently.

Truly, the mine owners flowed like water, but the miners remained iron!

Seeing the Black Dragon Divine Guards work so hard, the Divine Path Sect members were greatly pleased. They guarded the mining area closely while excitedly discussing.

"The Black Dragon Divine Guards are indeed remarkable. This mining speed is unprecedented!"

"Indeed! The output of meteoric iron has skyrocketed recently, making it immensely valuable!"

"To have such a mining site, we owe it all to Senior Yi Feng's assistance. This senior, who helped us so righteously, must also be an outsider cultivator."

"We, the Divine Path Sect, will never dare forget the senior's kindness!"

Hearing all this enthusiastic talk, the leading elder was also deeply moved.

However, as he watched the mine yield no Starfall Crystal Sand, his expression grew solemn.

"The senior's kindness, we shall naturally remember!"

"But... for several days now, the mineral output has been gratifying, yet we have not seen a single grain of Starfall Crystal Sand. This is truly strange. Logically, with the high quality of minerals here, Starfall Crystal Sand should exist."

His low murmur startled the others, and the old man beside him also wore a worried expression.

"Ah..."

"How precious is Starfall Crystal Sand? Who can guarantee a mine will produce it? Let us pray heaven favors us, that we might obtain a single grain. Otherwise, our Sect Master is in grave danger!"

As these words rang out, the people standing in the distance gazing at the mine all looked tense.

They exchanged glances for a long time, their faces filled with suppressed anxiety.

Perhaps their silent prayers had an effect.

Not long after.

A wild, joyous shout suddenly erupted from the foot of the mountain!

"Holy crap!"

"Starfall Crystal Sand! Starfall Crystal Sand has appeared!"

The yell drew everyone's attention.

The elder led the group, rushing forward at great speed.

They saw a Divine Path Sect disciple holding a tiny piece of ore in his hands, no larger than a common pea, embedded with a dazzling, radiant gemstone that shimmered like a star!

Whoosh!

Everyone crowded around, their eyes filled with shock and fervor!

"Hiss! So this is the legendary Starfall Crystal Sand!"

"A supreme treasure! Truly a supreme treasure!"

"To witness such a treasure with my own eyes, this life is not in vain!"

The crowd no longer distinguished between factions; both Black Dragon Divine Guards and Divine Path Sect members exclaimed incessantly. The elder who had rushed over took the crystal, his trembling hands handling it with utmost care.

After examining it for a few moments, the old man's eyes were already glistening with tears!

"Heaven protects our Divine Path Sect, heaven protects our Divine Path Sect!"

"It is only because Senior Yi Feng righteously yielded this mining site that we could obtain this Starfall Crystal Sand. The Sect Master can be saved! Our Divine Path Sect is destined to rise!"

As these words were spoken.

Dozens of Divine Path Sect members were overcome with excitement, clenching their fists and looking at each other with exhilaration.

The entire mining site was plunged into a frenzy of joy.

At that very moment!

Ripples suddenly spread across the sky. A terrifying aura descended like a bitter winter, startling everyone so that their faces froze. The leading elder was also alarmed and hurriedly stowed away the Starfall Crystal Sand!

Everyone looked up nervously.

They saw layers of ripples spreading in the air, from which several figures slowly emerged.

Several old men stepped out first.

These white-haired elders all exuded unfathomable auras, surrounded by dense Great Dao power. Any one of them alone carried the presence of a major figure.

Even so, these old men respectfully made way on both sides, like attendants.

Immediately after.

A handsome young man stepped out from the ripples. His appearance was like that of a young noble, his attire luxurious. With hands clasped behind his back, he stood quietly looking down, an extraordinary noble air emanating from his entire being.

Those star-like eyes looked down, his expression indifferent.

His thin lips parted slightly, his tone even colder.

"Hand over the Starfall Crystal Sand."

Even without any visible emotion, his steady words carried a chilling, undeniable intent, like a command that instantly made people uncomfortable. Coupled with his lofty demeanor, it bred instant dislike.

However.

The Divine Path Sect members were no ordinary folk and naturally would not act on impulsive youthful anger.

Even seeing the newcomers' arrogant manner, they did not angrily speak out.

The leading elder was even more experienced. Seeing the newcomers' impressive entourage and hearing their direct demand for the Starfall Crystal Sand, he had already guessed their formidable background.

After a few moments of contemplation, he quickly stepped forward, looked up from a distance, and saluted respectfully.

"Greetings, esteemed sir..."

"We are members of the Divine Path Sect. The Starfall Crystal Sand concerns our Sect Master's life. We truly cannot part with it. We implore you to be accommodating..."

The elder's attitude was impeccable, respectful to the extreme.

But before he could finish, an old man in the air sneered and spoke.

"Hmph."

"For Young Master Liu to speak is already an honor for you. Quickly hand over the Starfall Crystal Sand. This matter allows no delay or excuses from you!"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned, and anger flickered in their eyes one after another!

Even if they dared not speak out rashly, the expressions of the Divine Path Sect members grew increasingly grim. They could not simply tolerate such arrogance, and many had already secretly clenched their fists.

To rob someone of their possession and call it an honor?

This was simply too bullying!

The leading elder's face also darkened a few shades, but he dared not speak out to offend.

Having operated in the Divine Lands for many years and co-founded the Divine Path Sect with several friends, he naturally knew this place was fraught with danger, allowing not the slightest carelessness. Anyone who appeared might be an existence they could not afford to provoke!

After a few moments of contemplation, he could only continue to salute and probe.

"This..."

"The Starfall Crystal Sand is of utmost importance. If I yield it so easily, I cannot justify it to my fellow sect members. May I ask, esteemed sir, you are..."

The young noble still did not respond, only the look of superiority on his face gradually spreading into a smile.

Behind him.

An old man looked down, clear disdain visible in his eyes.

"Justify?"

"If you know what's good for you, hand over the Starfall Crystal Sand immediately, lest you bring disaster upon your sect! Let me enlighten you: our young master hails from the Divine Fall Palace. His father is Elder Liu of the Divine Fall Palace!"

Divine Fall Palace?!

The thunderous name echoed, startling everyone so much their legs went weak!

This was the strongest sect in the Divine Fall Lands!

From such a colossal entity, any single figure who emerged was enough to make the Divine Fall Lands tremble. The Palace Master of Divine Fall Palace was the current Star Lord, the leader who commanded all cultivators of Lan Star!

Even if the newcomer was merely the son of an elder, he was still a god-like existence in the eyes of ordinary people.

Everyone was terrified, their faces ashen, and immediately knelt to the ground!

The Divine Path Sect elder raised the ore high with both hands, not daring to show the slightest hint of defiance. Remembering his critically ill Sect Master, he gritted his teeth and pleaded in a trembling voice.

"Young Master, please understand. This is the raw ore containing the Starfall Crystal Sand!"

"We naturally offer it with both hands!"

"However, our Sect Master is in mortal danger. This old man ventures to beg, could you possibly leave the raw ore matrix for us? So we may return, refine the formation, and use the Heavenly Star Divine Qi to heal our Sect Master..."

That humble, reverent attitude made the young noble's lips curl upward slightly, greatly enjoying the feeling of being revered.

But hearing the final plea, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"This young master is merely passing through. For me to speak personally is already your glory. Do not overstep your bounds!"

With a light point of his finger, both the Starfall Crystal Sand and the ore landed in his hand!

As the crystal sand was taken.

The old man behind him also wore a cold, disdainful smile, flicking his sleeve and speaking!

"You ants truly do not know your place!"

"How dare you lowly creatures covet such a divine treasure?!"

With a mere flick of his sleeve, a terrifying power of the Great Dao blotted out the sky and covered the earth. Disciples of the Shen Dao Sect were thrown into disarray, and the Black Dragon miners wailed in agony. In an instant, nearly half lay dead or wounded!

The Sect Master's vitality was being drained, and his disciples were being humiliated and slaughtered!

Under this relentless assault, someone finally could bear it no longer. In despair, they cried out to the Elder.

"Elder! Elder!"

"If the Sect Master perishes, we wandering cultivators will have nowhere to go! You must not hold back any longer! Quickly send word to Senior Yi!"

Hearing this plea, the Elder was jolted to his senses.

"Senior Yi...?"

Recalling that profound and inscrutable presence, a faint sliver of hope stirred in his heart.

If Senior Yi were to come, perhaps he could plead for some mercy?

The situation was dire.

The lead Elder had no time for further hesitation. Gritting his teeth, he immediately sent the message.

Naturally, this scene was clearly observed by the figures hovering in the air.

Several old men moved to intervene, but were stopped by a mere sidelong glance from the leading young master.

"Let them be."

A light smile played on the young master's lips, his eyes brimming with innate superiority.

"This is rather amusing."

"What kind of backing could mere ants possibly have? This young master shall wait and see."
