I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God Chapter 1335: Secret Story

Observing the elder brother's furrowed brow in deep thought and his prolonged silence, Yi Feng grasped his dilemma. With a gentle smile, he addressed him thoughtfully.

"Brother Xu."

"I'm just starting out with demon hunting alongside you folks and lack grasp of the finer details, yet I realize that it's best to stop when you're winning. Tonight's haul has been impressive; maybe chasing recognition rashly out of greed isn't the smartest move?"

"That's merely my own opinion. If I've overstepped, please don't hold it against me."

Once his words trailed off, the demon hunters buzzed with murmurs of approval, nodding their heads in unison.

A keen glint sparked in Xu Fengyue's gaze; the longer he regarded Yi Feng, the more favorably he viewed him.

What a prodigy.

This teacher from the school was undeniably gifted.

His speech rang like sweet melody. The saying "quit while you're ahead" held boundless insight. True to form for a learned man, he displayed such sound judgment and logic!

"Folks, Mr. Yi speaks truly!"

"Having secured achievements this evening, it's proper to halt at the peak. Going forward, we ought to draw lessons from educated individuals like our Mister. Depending only on raw bravery hinders major successes!"

Upon hearing Yi Feng receive acclaim, Wei Xiaowei momentarily pushed aside her inner discomfort and dutifully added her voice in support.

The assembly deemed it logical too, even as they nodded with some lingering unwillingness.

Those faint signs didn't evade Xu Fengyue's notice. As Qinghe Town's second mightiest warrior, he needed scant deliberation to devise an impeccable rationale.

"That said..."

"Having escorted the Mister far into Mount Qingmang today, heading back plainly feels somewhat underwhelming. Let's shelve demon slaying for the moment; we can hunt for valuables around this area of the peak instead. Fortune might smile on us with a discovery."

His suggestion landed, and the team's spirits soared right away!

"Seeking treasures? What a splendid notion!"

"Captain's got it all planned flawlessly for the night!"

"Absolutely right? Scouting for treasures beats demon hunting in safety. Less concern over the Mister's well-being, plus potential rewards. It's pure upside!"

"Captain Xu's cleverness shines; small wonder he ascended to Great Martial Master!"

In mere sentences, the group's energy surged. They hefted the prepped remains of the demon tiger, gazes brimming with zeal.

Led by Xu Fengyue, the hunters dispersed to probe the vicinity, eyes darting over the terrain and now and then overturning rocks, evoking the thrill of a video game treasure expedition.

Lagging at the back and observing briefly, Yi Feng felt utterly puzzled.

"Does this mountain hold treasures?"

His question barely ended when Wei Xiaowei, close by, grinned and replied.

"Of course it does."

"Mister, your short time in our settlement means you're unfamiliar with Mount Qingmang. Legends tell of folks unearthing rare arms here, and others snagging defensive gear like armor!"

Yi Feng absorbed this with a stunned expression, uttering his skeptical wonder.

"Such fortunes exist?"

"This spot must be quite special."

Scarce had his remark finished before Xu Fengyue, leading upfront, wheeled around in surprise. A jolt of astonishment flitted across his features, succeeded by brotherly esteem in his stare.

"Mr. Yi, you're every bit the scholar; your insight cuts keen."

While speaking, the others paused to heed his account.

"Tales from town elders recount that ages past, Mount Qingmang hosted the Qingmang Sect. They birthed a fabled Martial King titan and flourished immensely, dominating every quarter!"

"Regrettably, the Qingmang Sect faced a massive conflict that razed it utterly. Scattered remnants and debris linger beneath the soil across the mountain, attesting to its former reality."

"Niece Wei speaks true; locals have scavenged valuables indeed. However, you may not realize the Old Patriarch's cherished relic came from this very peak— a Martial King-level item!"

A Martial King relic?!

The startling revelation echoed, leaving the squad wide-eyed in awe.

Though natives of Qinghe Town, their modest cultivation barred them from such privileged lore before. Now, with the locale's premier authority unveiling this hidden truth, turmoil gripped their souls!

Then, envisioning their own possible finds, cheeks of all burned with thrilled fervor.

Yi Feng himself showed a subtle spark of intrigue in his eyes.

"Mount Qingmang boasted such splendor once."

Against the group's astonishment, his composure stood firm. Xu Fengyue gave an approving nod, a touch of customary pride, then softly directed the hunters.

"All of you."

"We've traversed this mountain myriad times. Though deep excursions into Mount Qingmang are uncommon for you, surely you recognize the enduring echoes of the Qingmang Sect's arrays upon it even now."

"In your treasure pursuits ahead, avoid avarice or haste. Prioritize caution above all!"

These weighty admonitions, oddly resonant, prompted the group to fist their hands in solemn assent.

They resumed the march.

Anticipation swelled within every hunter. Despite the caution, the allure of a Martial King relic proved irresistible. Subtly, their pace quickened, drawing them into the thick woods.

Before they knew it.

A dense haze swept in upon them.

Bringing up the rear, Yi Feng sensed a choking haze like urban pollution. After swatting to dispel it from sight, his front lay empty of companions.

In that instant.

Yi Feng halted, shaking his head in wry resignation.

"Blast it..."

"Separated this swiftly? Formations or not, they can't work this well, can they? Brother Xu's words truly invite trouble!"

He hadn't foreseen this at all.

Discussion fresh, and suddenly the whole party plunged into a disorienting array.

It was like invoking a curse—mention it, and it strikes!

Worse, this array somehow excluded him alone.

Yet with the situation set and his ignorance of arrays, waiting in place for developments seemed wisest before deciding next steps...

Barring that, shattering it outright might be necessary!

As Yi Feng settled to bide his time quietly.

The rest had tumbled into the vapor, faces etched with frantic alarm. Frantic scans yielded no trace of Yi Feng, fueling greater disarray.

"Trouble—we've stepped into a formation!"

"Where's Mr. Yi?!"

"What now!"

"Mr. Yi lacks any cultivation; he's probably at risk. Captain Xu, hurry and locate Mr. Yi!"

Witnessing the scene, Wei Xiaowei fretted to the point of sweating, her plea urgent.
