I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God Chapter 1315: Right and Wrong, Black and White
Previously on I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God...
Yi Feng dashed through the clouds and the glowing sunrise, arriving back at the outer sect's island group in an instant.
The typical peace among the immortal islands had vanished. The cultivators appeared startled by the disturbance from the Demon-Suppressing Prison. Within mere moments, multiple beams of light streaked by overhead.
Yi Feng paid no attention to these insignificant individuals. Though he might wish to ask about the location of that ruthless auntie, such people wouldn't provide any useful details.
After a quick scan, he headed directly to his personal cave abode.
Touching down in front of the courtyard entrance on the immortal isle, Yi Feng automatically pulled out his jade token for the cave residence, ready to unlock the primary entrance. Only upon raising his gaze did he notice the courtyard door standing fully ajar, suggesting another had already occupied the space.
Well, well...
How much time has passed? They've even obtained access to the main entrance.
Invading someone else's home, and doing it with such speed!
Rooted in stunned silence at the doorway, Yi Feng's expression blended various feelings. The saying "the fickleness of the world" carried not a hint of exaggeration.
Before he had a chance to inspect further, a peculiar wine scent drifted from within the yard.Right on its heels followed the noise of intoxicated, mumbled chuckles and teasing exchanges.
"No, don't..."
"Hmph, you little vixen acted so arrogant in the past, didn't you? Why are you being so compliant and agreeable now?"
"Young Master An, this humble one was just temporarily deceived, how can you dredge up past grievances..."
"Deceived? I believe you were deceived by far more than your vision. A simple mortal-star cultivator, how could he possibly rival this young master? He's perished in the Demon-Suppressing Prison by now, likely without even a trace of ashes left! With nobody else present today, allow this young master to fully explore whatever secrets you still conceal!"
"Ah, you're so mean..."
"Hahaha..."
The unrestrained guffaws rang out shamelessly. Upon hearing them, Yi Feng's eyebrows knit together faintly.
The fact that someone other than that ruthless auntie was aware of his descent into the Demon-Suppressing Prison indicated the scheme was thoroughly planned in advance. The vile duo within were surely partners in crime!
He had been mulling over ways to obtain intel, and here these villains presented themselves at his very threshold!
Yi Feng advanced steadily past the courtyard door, his tone grave.
"Whoever's in there, come out right now!"
The bellow thundered like a storm. The mirth from the chamber halted instantly.
Right away.
An Shixuan, cheeks red with fury, burst from the refined room to the left, attire rumpled and veins throbbing!
"You bastard..."
The explosive wrath poised to burst cut off midway, plunging into total quiet. An Shixuan's gaze bulged, and he jabbed a quivering finger like he'd encountered a specter!
"It's you!"
In that brief clash, An Shixuan's authoritative aura solidified into stillness.
Examining the entirely intact Yi Feng, the anger on his features faded substantially, overtaken by sheer stunned incredulity!
"You really escaped from the Demon-Suppressing Prison?!"
"Impossible, that's utterly impossible!"
"Perhaps Yuwen Qianyue tricked this young master and never brought you to the Demon-Suppressing Prison? You must possess some talent to sway even Yuwen Qianyue!"
"You surely offered her a substantial reward, right?!"
Spilling the truth immediately, he essentially confessed without interrogation.
Yi Feng grew largely convinced in that instant. This was probably the one who conspired with that ruthless auntie to set him up and thrust him into the Demon-Suppressing Prison. Should he have truly perished, their plot would have succeeded.
Yet now, since he emerged unscathed, Yi Feng's irritation mounted with each passing thought.
Curse that handsome fool, completely incompetent. He couldn't even eliminate someone effectively, and yet he keeps yammering away!
Yi Feng had no patience left for him and lashed out with a kick!
"Thump!"
"Crack!"
A heavy impact echoed, chased by a sharp break louder than fireworks popping twice.
An Shixuan lacked the moment to respond before hurtling back across the yard. His whitish leg bone pierced through flesh and hide as he gripped it, wailing on the floor!
"Argh!!!"
"My leg!"
"You! You dare to sneak attack this young master once more?!"
Yi Feng scowled in frustration, seizing the handsome youth and hurling him outside!
"Sneak attack?"
"You're unworthy of it!"
Damn it!
Where does this young master draw his arrogance? He lacks any awareness. Fails to heed lessons from before, even a mule avoids sharp barbs!
This fellow is feeble and brimming with empty boasts!
It was only after flinging An Shixuan away that Yi Feng sensed a measure of quiet in his ears at last.
However, the instant he pivoted, a strange woman with a rosy, flower-like complexion anxiously curtsied in salute.
"Young... Young Master Yi..."
"Please hear my side, it's not as it appears. An Shixuan and I certainly didn't..."
Midway in her words, Yi Feng dismissed her with an irritated gesture.
"Out, out, out!"
He didn't recognize this individual at all. Why waste time on her babble? Wailing and pleading without end, utterly irritating.
Faced with the frosty command.
Lu Miaoke's frame went rigid. Despite the swirl of emotions inside, she refrained from overstepping before this fearsome prodigy. With a sorrowful, remorseful breath... pressing her crimson lips, she merely inclined her head shakily and withdrew from the yard on tiptoe.
At long last.
Tranquility enveloped the courtyard once more, restoring calm to his hearing.
Yi Feng settled leisurely in the yard. Should he avoid the structures, the island's peaks, woods, streams, and ponds offered ample spots for a brief stay.
In this precise instant.
Yi Feng harbored no further hesitations and even welcomed any disturbance at his door!
Observing the frantic lights weaving through the heavens, his gaze brimmed with relaxed satisfaction, peaceful and completely composed, akin to viewing mists forming and fading, without the slightest ripple in his heart.
Frostwind Isle as a whole buzzed with unprecedented activity, hinting at an imminent grand event. Still, Yi Feng stayed utterly composed, reclining to observe the gales build and tempests swirl.
Abruptly.
A handful of lights paused above, then dropped straight down. A group of silhouettes materialized at the entrance.
Yi Feng glanced over curiously.
He noted Xu Qingyuan's eyes bulging in shock, while the mortal-star cultivators trailing him brimmed with amazement!
"Brother... Brother Yi!"
"It really is Brother Yi!"
"Brother Yi is indeed alive, the rumors hold true!"
"The heavens truly favor you!"
The group brimmed with shock and emotion, marching into the yard to offer salutes!
Meeting again with familiar faces radiating true warmth, Yi Feng felt deeply pleased and reciprocated the gesture with thanks.
"Everyone, have a seat."
Xu Qingyuan drew near and examined him closely for moments, his gaze brightening further with each pass!
"Brother Yi remains entirely safe, allowing us to relax fully! Brother, your luck is profoundly strong, surviving the Demon-Suppressing Prison. Great achievements await you ahead!"
Upon the enthusiastic speech, bewilderment flickered in Yi Feng's eyes.
"How did you learn I exited the Demon-Suppressing Prison?"
Xu Qingyuan chuckled in reply, his look laden with feeling.
"Brother Yi, your breakout from the Demon-Suppressing Prison was seen firsthand by numerous mighty figures across the islands. The news has circulated everywhere in the outer sect!"
Amid his thrill, Xu Qingyuan's stare abruptly stilled.
"Yet..."
"We got word from the revered figure too. Apparently, Elder Guo persists in this realm and escaped the Demon-Suppressing Prison alongside Brother Yi. Does this hold?"
Listening to this admirer's awestruck chatter, Yi Feng displayed a faint grin.
"It's accurate. Elder Guo and I... Guo emerged from the Demon-Suppressing Prison side by side."
This Brother Xu ranked as Guo Jiannan's top devotee. Discovering his hero's return must fill him with immense joy. Their eventual meeting would prove beneficial.
With this in mind, Yi Feng regarded him with a grin and expectation.
To his surprise, Xu Qingyuan's face grew uneasy, his response far from the expected elation, resembling someone facing a tough dilemma.
After a brief stupor spanning several breaths, he at last affirmed with a somber look.
The honored authority relayed to us, declaring outright that Elder Guo betrays humanity, set to ally with fiends and beasts for chaos. Right now, they're rallying the island's top talents to encircle and pursue Elder Guo!
"I can't accept that the Invincible Sword Venerable, who alone established Frostwind Island, might be a betrayer?"
"A mythic icon I've revered for years... how could he turn out like this..."
His words faded, Xu Qingyuan's eyes brimming with sorrow.
His companions nearby sported solemn faces too, as though their beliefs shattered entirely then. They endured a massive shock and struggled to rebound.
Only now did Yi Feng grasp the situation.
Thus, Brother Guo faced widespread condemnation?
Little wonder Xu Qingyuan displayed such a response to his idol's reemergence. Repeated tales from the masses turn into facts; even lies and smears acquire credibility through broad dissemination.
From the circumstances, Brother Guo had surely set off for vengeance. Isolated without support, confronting Frostwind Island might exceed his capabilities. Should he transmit a plea for aid, assistance was essential...
Yi Feng refrained from vindicating his comrade, simply delivering a few soothing remarks with a grin.
"Brother Xu, distinctions of good and evil, light and dark, rest in human judgment."
"Should you believe in me, let this go for now. Keep watch on the island's activities ahead. Should any news come, relay it to me at once!"
One composed remark, infused with deep enigma.
Xu Qingyuan and his group lifted their heads in wonder, beholding Yi Feng seated immovably like a peak. They abruptly sensed his remoteness and inapproachability. Recalling Yi Feng's joint escape with Elder Guo from the Demon-Suppressing Prison amplified the reverence in their gazes.
The fellows shared subtle looks, then affirmed resolutely.
"Very well!"
"As Mortal Star cultivators, we'll heed Brother Yi and hold faith in the Invincible Sword Venerable!"
They cupped hands, pledged loyalty, and departed swiftly.
Solely Yi Feng lingered in the modest yard. He viewed the endless lights streaking the firmament with poise, his demeanor exceptionally tranquil, though his thoughts already plotted forthcoming actions. Those innumerable lights resembled mere pawns, manipulated by his hand.
Now solitary, Yi Feng's vision sharpened remarkably.
Since leaving the Demon-Suppressing Prison, he had comprehended that Frostwind Island held no remarkable status. His strength eclipsed this realm's ordinary understanding.
Even the celestial bodies overhead appeared graspable...
