I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God Chapter 1319: As Expected

A few days flew by in an instant.

In that time, Blizzard Island rallied its top forces and unleashed all concealed resources to launch yet another fierce clash with the famed Invincible Sword Venerable, Guo Jiannan.

The conflict rattled the skies and quaked the earth.

Powerhouses from the Desolate Realm surfaced one by one, hidden ancient fiends revealed themselves in droves, and the mighty forces of the Great Dao surged over vast distances of ten thousand miles, stirring the Vast Sea to the north of Blizzard Island into chaos.

Against the overwhelming might of Blizzard Island, Guo Jiannan and his companions were simply outmatched in the end.

The storied Invincible Sword Venerable suffered a close defeat and had to escape!

The unexpected return of this legendary figure had already stunned the major sects. Now, his loss to Blizzard Island—the very group he had once created—rippled shockwaves even farther across the lands.

Though Yuan Star was only a secondary star, Guo Jiannan's name carried great weight. News of this showdown spread like wildfire, leaving countless billions of cultivators in awe!

Following the fight, Blizzard Island clinched a slim win but at a heavy cost, leaving them greatly diminished. Even snaring a Demon Venerable brought scant relief, barely offsetting the drop in their fighting power. They were forced to recover, and it seemed unlikely they'd regain their full strength for ten thousand years.

Beyond releasing a Demon-Slaying Order to pursue Guo Jiannan, they held back from any more moves.

This restraint fueled wild guesses among the powers that be. Blizzard Island, founded to purge demons, found its infamy swelling even higher for a spell.

As gossip swirled beyond the shores, a thick quiet settled over the island itself.

An event of such immense scale lay far beyond the grasp of common folk. Even the lowliest who fell that day were at the Venerable realm. Ordinary outer sect disciples had no right to delve into the deeper secrets.

In an area scattered with ethereal isles, Sunset Heaven Mansion stayed peaceful as always.

Yi Feng lounged at ease on his recliner, his typical serene look unaltered. Staring at the foggy peaks and streams outside the yard, his gaze held a deep solitude like fresh snow, mixed with a touch of resignation.

"I've waited days now, but no stir at all. Has the feud between Blizzard Island and Brother Guo hit a stalemate? If I keep hanging on like this, when will I get to throw down properly?"

For days on end, Yi Feng savored the easy, pampered routine of a landowner, tended by the old auntie. His routine felt plush and satisfying, yet boredom gnawed at him so fiercely that even meals started to taste bland.

As he grumbled under his breath, faint steps drew near.

Clad in a refined gown, Yu Wen Qianyue approached with a tray of fruits. She set it down firmly on the stone table, then dipped into a poised curtsy and announced with a slight incline.

"These are the spirit fruits for today. Please savor them, my lord."

This old auntie had grown far more obedient, as if regretting her past ways.

Yi Feng gave a generous nod of approval.

"Mm, good work."

"These fruits seem really fresh. You're getting better and better at being a maid. Later, tidy the yard and clean the tables and chairs, then take a break."

He was genuinely handling her like a servant.

This kid had the guts to act so superior!

Yu Wen Qianyue heard him out, her slender fingers gripping hard inside her sleeves, though a meek smile graced her lips.

"Yes."

She wasn't one to buckle easily and knew well that under someone else's roof, one must bow. No matter the shame, putting up with it now meant she'd claim victory in the end.

When that moment arrived, she'd cleanse her disgrace and perhaps win the Island Lord's favor!

For her ambitious plan, Yu Wen Qianyue swallowed pride and suffering. Though she burned with embarrassment right then, she still remembered to fish for details.

Grasping the chance as she agreed, she slipped in a subtle probe.

"My lord, you return good for evil. I feel so ashamed."

"A kindness like yours isn't for just anyone. I've heard you and Elder Guo both came from the Demon-Suppressing Prison. There must be a real bond between you, more than a random meeting, right?"

Her praise flowed smoothly, the sign of a real charmer.

Yi Feng paid it no mind and answered casually.

"Mm, there's a link, yeah."

Yu Wen Qianyue's spirits dropped at his words, confirming her hunch.

This punk was surely Guo Jiannan's underling!

A crafty gleam lit her eyes, quickly masked by more servile talk.

"My lord, your background is impressive. I was too blind to see the mountain before me. Please overlook my earlier mistakes with your generosity."

Her mind raged with curses, but her speech stayed perfectly submissive.

Noting this old auntie's slick, savvy act, Yi Feng recalled she had some rank after all. As a Venerable, high or low, she ought to have access to key intel.

With that in mind, Yi Feng took the opening to ask.

"Do you know the beef between Blizzard Island and Elder Guo... Guo? What's the latest?"

This hit right at her pain point.

She was meant to join the elite ranks, tackling the big push against Guo Jiannan and racking up achievements for a swift climb.

Who'd have thought she'd stumble into a steel trap, flip her boat in shallow water, and wind up slaving as a maid!

If word leaked, how could she ever hold her head up in Blizzard Island?

This jerk had wrecked her cultivation, blocking her from sending signals now. How could she have any updates?

Wasn't this just twisting the knife?

Damn him!

Yu Wen Qianyue's face twisted uncomfortably, her strained smile losing its ease.

"Well..."

"My lord, pardon me. I'm just a lowly sort with no say. I really don't know about big happenings like that. I've been stuck scrubbing in the mansion these days—how could I catch any insider news?"

At this, Yi Feng dismissed her with a wave, let down.

"Tch, you're not faring much better yourself."

"Never mind, never mind. I won't push you. You're cut out for chores like that. Bothering with weighty matters is pointless. Soon, head out and snag some game. I fancy a different flavor tonight."

"Hunting game—you can handle that, can't you?"

His words made veins throb on Yu Wen Qianyue's brow!

She, a noble Venerable and gifted prodigy destined for the pinnacle, got branded as mere maid material and belittled over and over. What a massive insult!

If she didn't settle this score, she swore she wasn't fit to be called human!

But for now, she had to clench her jaw, bow, and retreat.

"Yes..."

"My lord, give me a bit. I'll give it my all!"

Slipping out the cave mansion's front door quietly, Yu Wen Qianyue ground her teeth to bits, her face flushing with bulging veins. Rage aged her in a flash, twisting her looks into something savage!

Hateful!

Completely hateful!

This punk, mocking her time and again! Their grudge was set in stone!

He just leaned on Guo Jiannan's shield, with a bit of cultivation and fame, yet had the gall to degrade her! When Guo Jiannan falls later, I'll make sure you perish without a grave!

A spoiled second-gen like him could never amount to much!

Once his supports crumble, he'll vanish into nothing. Plenty of so-called prodigies crash like that out of nowhere.

After gnashing her teeth and balling her fists fiercely for a few breaths, Yu Wen Qianyue steadied herself somewhat. Recalling her task to hunt spirit beasts without her powers, resentment flooded her eyes. With no option, she bit down hard and headed for the woods beyond the entrance.

Just then, a faint spatial ripple flickered in the yard.

Yi Feng straightened up, confused, and voiced his wonder.

"Back already?"

"Looks like this auntie might actually prove useful..."

Yet when the shape emerged from the ripple, showing an elderly visage, Yi Feng's eyes bulged, and he rose with joy.

"Brother Guo?"

"I was musing about you, and here you are. Talk about timing."

The arrival was none other than Guo Jiannan.

Though he appeared a tad fatigued, the harsh lines on his face had softened a little, making him seem somewhat rejuvenated. Yi Feng spotted his old pal right away and promptly served tea to welcome him.

"Brother, sit down quick, and sample the fresh tea I've prepared!"
