I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God Chapter 1297: Coming for Revenge
Previously on I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God...
The cosmos sprawls infinitely wide, stars twinkling without any visible limit.
Lan Star, sustaining vast multitudes of life forms, represents just a tiny ripple in the immense sea, gradually revolving around Yuan Star while staying under its unyielding dominance across countless eras.
Yuan Star stands as a genuine Primary Star, favored beyond measure by the heavens.
In scale or wealth of resources, Lan Star falls far short. Sites revered as holy realms on Lan Star, like the Fallen God's Land, count as commonplace on Yuan Star.
On a formidable world like this, a mere Envoy of Fate appearing at random could strike fear into surrounding lesser stars, wielding unmatched authority to dominate every creature, entities rivaling gods themselves.
Yet.
Right now, atop Yuan Star's frozen summit, the corpses of two Envoys of Fate lay exposed.
An incident like this proves exceedingly rare; on any ordinary world, it would spell utter disaster, shaking the planet to its core. Even on Yuan Star, it sparks widespread alarm.
A man and woman scrutinized the area thoroughly, faces etched with deep solemnity.
"The trace of the Demon Race clings to them. Demons took their lives!""Their Envoy garments were removed, along with their Envoy tokens. If we're right, demons probably waylaid and slew them, then swapped places to masquerade as Envoys!"
Evidently no common folk, the pair swiftly pieced together the probable scenario from brief observation.
With demons bold enough to pose as Envoys of Fate and possibly exploiting those roles for schemes, whatever their aims, the fallout defied imagination. Their looks turned even sterner, prompting swift dispatches through message tokens!
A short while later.
The striking man glanced at the updates on his token, his features darkening further.
"This spells trouble..."
"These Envoys were headed for Lan Star originally. Now ambushed and impersonated by demons, Lan Star likely falls under demon sway already, its billions of residents blissfully ignorant!"
Upon hearing that, the woman recoiled in horror and hissed through clenched teeth.
"We won't sit idle while the Demon Clan wreaks havoc!"
"Hiding on Lan Star with Envoy guises, who can predict the chaos they'll unleash. We need to probe this right away and wipe out those two demons!"
The man agreed with a nod and fired off more messages without delay.
Once replies confirmed cleanup arrangements, he gathered a strand of the persisting demonic trace, ripped apart the void instantly, and the pair plunged inside with urgent steps, gazes brimming with intensity!
As the void fluctuated once more.
They materialized high over Lan Star, poised silently amid the heavens above the Fallen God's Land.
The stakes loomed enormous; no room for oversight. Witnessing the holy site in disarray only fueled their haste, so they swiftly deployed a mystical artifact to pursue the demonic trace.
To their surprise, after flickering briefly, the artifact's radiance faded sharply and went dark entirely.
The man recoiled in shock, creasing his brow as he muttered.
"The demons' presence appears to have vanished abruptly, leaving just a weak echo on this mundane world."
"By normal logic, no demon could evade the Primordial Chaos Pearl's sense, nor would a trace dissolve so utterly... except if those two demons perished..."
His statement landed, leaving the accompanying woman stunned beyond words!
"What?"
"The demons are gone?!"
"Lan Star's merely a basic mortal realm. What force there could eliminate demons of such caliber? Those were fiends who outmaneuvered and executed Envoys of Fate! Far from average!"
Surprise flooded the man too, knitting his brows tighter.
"This situation defies explanation."
"I struggle to accept that any entity on a mortal star holds such might."
They traded heavy stares, eyes wide with disbelief.
The demon ploy had shocked them plenty, a grave concern already, but this twist proved even wilder. Unforeseen elements piled up, catching even them off guard for the moment.
After brief quiet.
The pair, locked in a shared gaze of confusion and astonishment, slowly settled on proceeding forward.
"Demons dead or not, we have to uncover the full story!"
"Exactly. Tracking the leftover trace is our only lead to the facts. When we head back to Yuan Star, at least we'll have details to share. No way we halt now!"
A mutual nod followed, and they poured cultivation energy into the artifact right away.
Boosted by potent Primordial Force, the tool's strength surged visibly. Its dim shimmer intensified a touch, pointing the way as they split the void anew and vanished.
Soon enough, they halted near a rundown little village.
Suspended midair and watching intently, they spotted a fellow wandering casually, nothing standout about him. Still, the artifact quit pulsing, signaling this spot tied to the final demonic remnant.
At once.
A subtle look passed between them, then they dropped down, cutting off his route.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Two forms plummeted from above, draped in odd rune-etched robes, eyeing him with a stance like highway thugs.
Yi Feng's eyebrows twitched faintly.
Before any question escaped him, the man across leveled a icy, piercing stare.
"Did you slay two Envoys of Fate from the Primary Star?"
The query dropped, and their stares pinned him fast. Cosmic lights began swirling in their eyes, like harboring galaxies, primed to catch any hint.
Faced with this aggressive stance and accusatory tone, like grilling a suspect, Yi Feng bristled inwardly and shot back on reflex.
"Who might you be?"
His retort barely finished when the other flashed an eerie token, glare unwavering.
"We come from Yuan Star, the Primary Star commanding your Lan Star. This issue carries huge weight. Answer straight, or consider the risks carefully!"
From the Primary Star?
So these were kin to those earlier pair, arriving for payback?
Realization dawned in Yi Feng's eyes, igniting a flicker of excitement.
Back during drinks with Gui Wanhai, Old Turtle had rambled on about the Primary Star's might, how slaying Envoys stirred massive issues, and urged future caution.
Never imagined they'd track him down this quick!
Looks like the Primary Star packs real punch. By rights, they ought to outmatch Lan Star's Star Lord and such, yeah?
His bold quest for demise suddenly glimmered with possibility...
With that in mind, Yi Feng confirmed boldly and without hesitation.
"Yes!"
"I took out two who posed as Envoys of Fate earlier. What of it!"
His declaration echoed, and Yi Feng lifted his chin defiantly.
Right then, no remorse stirred in him over the deed. The foes struck first with deadly intent; he'd only defended himself. Now with their comrades here for vengeance, maximum bravado was key to stoke the rage!
Act cocky enough, and this clash would ignite without fail!
As Yi Feng anticipated keenly.
The duo did freeze, flashes of astonishment in their eyes.
"So you truly ended them..."
Then, after a stunned look between them, they actually grinned and commended him!
"Excellent! Splendid work!"
"Impressive feat. Who'd have thought Lan Star hid a gem like you!"
The sudden lavish acclaim baffled Yi Feng completely.
What in the world?
Folks, have you lost it?
I'm the one who offed your own people. You trek all this way not to avenge, but to applaud me? This makes no sense!
Get real!
Even your heel could figure you'd charge in fury! But no, you flip the script and cheer 'excellent'? Won't your dead kin glare in unrest?
This isn't bending rules; it's shredding them to bits!
How do we even continue from here?
