I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God Chapter 1267: I Shall Go Personally

Yao Qianji burst into boisterous laughter as he watched the clouds of dust billow into the air.

"Hahaha!"

"In all my years, I have rarely encountered such a reckless fool who so brazenly seeks his own demise!"

The Black Dragon Divine Guards joined in the celebration of their perceived victory, exchanging amused glances and laughing loudly.

"Hahaha..."

However.

Standing at the very front of the arrogant group.

Liu Haotian and several elderly women remained silent, their eyes fixed on the dense dust. The longer they observed, the more a sense of terrifying familiarity washed over them, filling them with a dark premonition.

A few moments passed.

Unable to bear the laughter surrounding him, Liu Haotian turned his head and barked an order.

"You."

"Send word to the Divine Palace this instant! Tell my father to send someone to escort this Young Master home!"

Yao Qianji was stunned by the sudden command.

Noticing the desperation on Liu Haotian’s face, he assumed the Young Master was simply eager to return to the palace. He feared his chance to gain favor was slipping away.

How could he let such an opportunity vanish?

This Young Master was an elite guest, someone he would normally never have the privilege to meet. Now that he had established a link, he wasn't about to let it break.

With a flattering grin, Yao Qianji tried to soothe him.

"Young Master, please calm your nerves..."

"A humble man like myself lacks the status to message the Divine Palace directly. I truly do not possess the authority. Do not worry, Young Master. These insignificant insects are not worth your concern. Why use a heavy hammer for a small nail? There is no need for the Divine Palace to intervene. I shall personally slaughter them all to reclaim your honor!"

Liu Haotian’s anxiety spiked as he heard these boastful words!

This utter idiot!

Where did he find the nerve to be so confident?!

Even he, Liu Haotian, had been powerless against that terrifying foe. How could this group of fawning sycophants talk so big?

Just as he was about to erupt in a fit of rage.

Yi Feng emerged slowly from the settling dust.

With a look of weary annoyance, he sighed.

"Is that really it?"

"With such pathetic skills, you actually have the gall to call others 'lowly scum'? I expected something far more impressive!"

He shifted his calm gaze toward Liu Haotian.

"Liu, you are always so arrogant, acting superior and bragging about your father's power... But based on this, it seems your father isn't much to brag about either..."

Liu Haotian’s face turned crimson with fury!

"How dare you compare those failures to my father! Your constant mockery has gone too far!"

Meanwhile, Yao Qianji and his men were frozen in shock. A sudden realization of danger hit them, and their eyes began to fill with pure dread!

Before they could even move.

Yi Feng had already unsheathed his forty-meter-long greatsword.

"Oh, so he’s not your father. You were just putting on a show this whole time. What a massive waste of my day!"

With a single leap, he pounced like a tiger into a defenseless flock of sheep!

Within seconds.

The sounds of breaking bones echoed through the mining site in a continuous rhythm. The Black Dragon Divine Guards were annihilated.

Although they provided very little experience, the fact that someone had come for Liu Haotian meant the person in charge was likely nearby. After leaving a few orders, Yi Feng headed back to the small town to wait for the next arrival.

At the base of the mountain.

Yao Qianji lay dead, his lifeless eyes wide with terror and his face drained of color.

Liu Haotian watched the scene, gritting his teeth so hard he almost wanted to desecrate the corpse!

Useless!

An absolute failure!

The chance he had been waiting for was ruined by this idiot's pride. Now he was stuck mining again, with no idea when he might get another shot at revenge...

For a long moment.

Liu Haotian stared at the sky, feeling a strange longing for the past.

As Yi Feng departed, the workers in the mine seemed unfazed, having grown used to such chaotic events. The Elder from the Shendao Sect walked forward with practiced routine, barking at them.

"Get back to work!"

"Stop staring at the sky and acting important! Who do you think you're impressing?"

...

Divine Fall Palace.

Inside a side chamber.

A solitary figure sat as the hour of Zi drew near.

The steward Elder had still heard nothing. He gripped his communication jade slip, his brow furrowed in deep concern.

The longer the silence lasted, the more his anxiety grew, leading him 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 limits. Why is he so late? He gave his word to bring the Young Master back, so why is there no update?"

Realizing he would soon have to answer to Liu Changfeng, the steward's eyes filled with panic.

After pacing the floor for several minutes.

He grabbed the jade slip again to send a final, urgent inquiry.

...

Broken Cliff Ancient City.

Main hall of the Black Dragon Divine Guards.

The Third Elder waited alone in the massive room. When no news arrived after a long wait, he stood up, his eyes darting around in desperation.

"By all accounts, Lord Yao should have returned by now!"

As he spoke.

The phantom projection of a powerful figure from the Divine Land appeared in the hall, demanding answers!

"Where is Yao Qianji? Why is he ignoring my messages?!"

The Third Elder rose and bowed quickly, his face pale.

"The Sect Master's location is unknown, I do not know where he has gone..."

He was interrupted.

The sound of shattering glass suddenly erupted from outside!

"Crack! Crack!"

A Black Dragon Divine Guard stumbled into the hall, shaking with fear as he delivered the news!

"Th-third Elder, it's a catastrophe!"

"The soul tablets of Lord Yao and the entire guard... they have all shattered!"

The Third Elder’s eyes bulged in disbelief, his entire body trembling!

"What?!"

He didn't wait for details, charging toward the soul tablet chamber.

When he reached the doorway, he froze as if struck by a lightning bolt!

Before him...

Every soul tablet, large and small, was in pieces. Even Yao Qianji’s tablet was nothing more than a pile of broken fragments 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 caused this?!

The powerful Black Dragon Divine Guards, completely destroyed?!

The Third Elder shook violently until his legs gave out, and he collapsed to the ground.

Behind him.

The phantom of the Divine Fall Palace steward watched for a few seconds before fading away into the air.

...

Divine Fall Palace.

The steward Elder opened his eyes, his expression one of pure shock.

He never imagined the entire Black Dragon Divine Guard sect could be slaughtered. It appeared a terrifying power resided in the Northern Desert Wasteland. He couldn't fathom what kind of nightmare Yao Qianji had run into.

They were all dead. What had happened to the Young Master?

Hiss...

As the thought took hold, the steward grew increasingly frantic. A heavy sense of doom settled over him, making it impossible to stay still.

Seeing that the hour of Zi had arrived.

He stood up and rushed toward the main hall, throwing himself onto the floor to report!

"I report to the Elder!"

"This subordinate is guilty of a grave error! I found the Young Master’s location and sent Yao Qianji to bring him back. I never expected the entire Black Dragon Divine Guard sect to be destroyed!"

"The Young Master... his condition is currently unknown. I beg for the Elder's judgment!"

Upon hearing this.

Liu Changfeng paused and set his jade slip aside.

His usually stoic eyes flickered with a hint of surprise.

"Such an event has occurred?!"

With those few words, a crushing pressure filled the room like a violent gale!

The steward Elder was pinned to the floor by the aura, answering with a shaky voice.

"It is the truth!"

"I do not know what horror they faced, but every soul tablet has broken, and no word has come back. This is entirely my failure. I beg for the Elder's punishment!"

Liu Changfeng narrowed his eyes, stroking his beard as he looked down at the trembling man.

"Yao Qianji..."

"I recall he was a man of some influence in the outer regions. He was a cultivator of the ninth grade Heaven Tier, after all. For his whole sect to be wiped out is indeed quite startling."

"This matter... is not entirely your fault."

"Enough..."

"There is no point in delegating this further. It has been nearly ten thousand years since I last traveled. I shall go personally to bring Tian'er home. While I am there, I will see what strange thing is hiding in that trivial Northern Desert Wasteland."

The steward Elder was stunned by the declaration, remaining face-down in shock for a long time.

The Elder himself was descending to the outer lands...

Such an event had not happened in ten millennia; it was certain to shake the world!
