I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God Chapter 1273: The Youngster Turns Out to Be Myself
Previously on I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God...
The uncle and niece felt as though a bolt of lightning had struck them when they saw Yi Feng’s nonchalant smile.
Lin Xiao, the handsome uncle, was particularly stunned, his throat tightening until he was speechless. All the fury he had felt moments ago and the persuasive arguments he had prepared were forced back down his throat.
This man had just slaughtered Liu Changfeng right here, yet he looked completely relaxed, as if he had done nothing more than crush a small bird.
What was there even left to say?!
They stared at each other in a daze for several breaths. Liu Changfeng could no longer maintain his facade of a dignified senior. Recalling his previous remark about "the younger generation being formidable," he felt so mortified he wished he could sink into the floor and disappear.
For heaven’s sake...
After all that posturing, it turns out the real "junior" was me!
The shame was nearly unbearable.
It was almost impossible to believe that a wandering cultivator actually possessed a cultivation level at the Desolate Realm. Truly, there is always a higher heaven and a person beyond compare. His tens of thousands of years of calm were shattered into a million pieces in an instant.
Noticing the shock on his niece Lin Ruowei’s face from the corner of his eye, Lin Xiao fought to regain his composure.The situation had spiraled far beyond what they anticipated, but since they had come, they needed to offer something. Otherwise, his reputation would be utterly ruined.
After a moment of pensive silence, Lin Xiao bowed nervously and spoke.
“Yi... Yi, fellow Daoist.”
“Your cultivation is supreme, and I hold it in the highest regard. However, the influence of the Fallen God Palace is truly terrifying. This situation is far from simple. Even if you can effortlessly kill Liu Changfeng, or even his father within the inner Sect, can you truly hope to overcome the Star Lord?”
“Even if your cultivation defies the natural order and you manage to defeat the most powerful Star Lord of our Lan Star, this conflict will never truly conclude!”
He intended to persuade, but the moment he spoke, his tone and attitude were filled with undeniable reverence. The arrogant senior persona he previously held had completely evaporated.
Upon hearing this, Yi Feng’s heart began to race with excitement.
You defeat the young ones, and the old ones appear. Even if you take down the strongest, it’s still not over...
What a magnificent hornet's nest this is.
If that’s the case, my chances of finding a way to die are incredibly high!
To verify this information, Yi Feng pushed down his inner joy and looked at the man intently.
“Is what you are saying the truth?”
Lin Xiao nodded with a heavy, cautious expression on his face.
“It is absolutely true!”
“The current Star Lord is not a native cultivator of Lan Star; he comes from a Subsidiary Star. This Subsidiary Star governs several Mortal Stars, and its total power is beyond measure. They appoint a representative to oversee the affairs of other Mortal Stars, and that individual is known as the Star Lord.”
“Even if your cultivation is heaven-defying enough to surpass the Star Lord, you would have no hope against the Subsidiary Star itself. That is an entity that exists entirely beyond our perception and imagination!”
“If this continues to escalate, it will bring about an endless disaster. I beg of you, Fellow Daoist Yi, please reconsider!”
Hearing these words, Lin Ruowei’s face turned deathly pale.
Only today did she realize the true scale of the world. The reality behind these terrifying powers was much more frightening than any mortal rumors. She never dreamed that even with Elder Yi Feng’s monstrous cultivation, he might still be unable to ensure his own survival.
It was simply too terrifying.
How could anyone survive such a massive calamity!
While the uncle and niece were paralyzed with tension, Yi Feng’s heart was practically singing with delight.
Good heavens...
This layers-within-layers power structure is truly endless. As long as I keep fighting, there is definitely a path to successfully seeking my death!
Just thinking about the formidable Star Lord and the Subsidiary Star gave Yi Feng a surge of adrenaline he had never felt before.
I have to fight!
I must fight them!
No matter what, I have to take on this Fallen God Palace!
Seeing Yi Feng go silent, Lin Xiao assumed the man was gripped by fear.
This made him feel slightly more useful, and he leaned in closer to whisper his advice.
“Fellow Daoist Yi...”
“I trust you now see that this disaster will be perpetual. You must not continue this path of confrontation. However, do not be too anxious. If you return to the Profound Sect with me, we can employ supreme secret techniques to hide your Qi. It might be possible to deceive the heavens and escape notice!”
“For the time being, retreating from their direct path is the wisest course of action!”
He spoke with great conviction.
He had explained the gravity of the threat while offering a clever solution to build rapport. Even if Lin Xiao’s cultivation was lower, his life experience and wisdom were still worthy of a senior of the Profound Sect.
However.
As he listened to the pair, Yi Feng was already bursting with internal fervor.
Though his face remained as calm as ever, he secretly wished he could sprint directly into the Fallen God Palace this very second!
But he couldn't let his actions endanger others.
Feeling their worried eyes on him, Yi Feng quickly concocted an excuse.
“I appreciate your kindness.”
“But I have my reasons. If the powers behind them come for vengeance, I will face it by myself. Since I have started this, I will see it through to the end. I absolutely will not let this matter go!”
Hiss...
Lin Xiao gasped in shock!
Lin Ruowei’s beautiful eyes widened in total disbelief!
The uncle and niece were stunned once more. They never expected Elder Yi Feng to be so stubborn. Even when faced with the terrifying truth of the Fallen God Palace’s origins, he wouldn't back down an inch!
This... what kind of incredible fighting spirit was this!
A real man who dared to act and dared to take the consequences.
Among the world's countless cultivators, how many could truly be so fearless in the face of death?
At that moment.
Lin Xiao and his niece gave up on trying to talk him out of it. Their various emotions were overwhelmed by his sheer presence. Faced with such a person, they simply didn't know what else to say.
After a long silence.
Lin Xiao let out a heavy sigh, his eyes filled with emotion.
“Ah...”
“Fellow Daoist Yi’s mental strength is truly a rarity through the ages. In tens of thousands of years, you are the only person I’ve met who does not fear the name of the Fallen God Palace. My admiration for you is immense.”
“If this were years ago, I might have joined you in a moment of madness, ignoring all power and status, seeking only the thrill of a battle! But now...”
His words trailed off, heavy with unspoken meaning and deep emotion.
Yi Feng didn’t know exactly what the man meant, but he could empathize with the feeling. After all, Yi Feng was alone with no ties and no worries, allowing him to act as he pleased. Since he didn't even fear death, he was naturally more free.
But this handsome uncle was different.
After living in the Divine Land for so long, he surely had many responsibilities. It was impossible for him to act with total abandon. That was the harsh reality of life.
Even so, the fact that this uncle possessed such a spirited soul and dared to speak of challenging the Fallen God Palace showed he was no ordinary man!
To be honest, even if it was just talk, very few would dare to even boast about such things.
Without realizing it, Yi Feng began to respect the uncle more.
With a smile, he cupped his hands in a polite greeting, moving the conversation along.
“It is rare to find someone who shares my views and also despises that Fallen God Palace. Meeting Miss Ruowei and receiving your counsel today is truly one of life’s great pleasures.”
“As they say, a chance encounter is better than a planned one. Why don’t we go have a proper drink first!”
Seeing Yi Feng act so graciously, the respect in their eyes only deepened.
Facing a fatal disaster, yet still able to maintain such a carefree spirit. His natural grace required no explanation; he was clearly far beyond ordinary men.
Sharing a quick look, the uncle and niece bowed repeatedly in agreement, their faces full of admiration.
Yi Feng picked up the hostage’s body and led them away.
A short while later.
The three of them arrived back at the busy little city Yi Feng knew well. They ended up in a private window booth on the second floor, facing those same painfully high menu prices.
Unfortunately, while the location was the same, the company had changed. He had new friends, but the old ones were missing.
Yi Feng ordered some side dishes and a jar of the tavern's best wine. He felt the atmosphere was slightly lacking, recalling the joy of drinking heavily just a few days prior.
If only Brother Gui were here, it would be perfect.
Just as the thought crossed his mind, a familiar, boisterous laugh echoed from behind him.
“Haha! Brother Yi Feng, you really aren't being fair. Having fine wine and food and trying to keep it all for yourself? Won't you share a cup with a friend like me?”
Turning around, he saw the newcomer was none other than Gui Wanhai!
