I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God Chapter 1383: Your Profound Insight
Previously on I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God...
Noticing that Man Man still wore that lifeless salted-fish expression, like a snail utterly unafraid of boiling water, Yi Feng realized questioning it was pointless.
Moreover, since it couldn't speak at all, badgering it further would merely squander his effort.
Throwing a helpless glance at the little snail, Yi Feng dismissed it from his mind.
Outwardly indifferent, yet inwardly, Yi Feng understood more profoundly than before that the reality far exceeded the simplicity of his earlier assumptions.
His current prowess was exceptional; few could endure even a single slap from him. But this cursed snail remained utterly unharmed, its velocity outrageously swift...
Such a creature perfectly aligned with the system's description.
Thoughts surged unbidden into Yi Feng's mind.
The system's various gifts, alongside the remarkable beings encircling him...
As well as Lu Benwei, present right from the outset.
If his judgment held true, this fellow was almost certainly feigning stupidity too!
Bearing the title of strongest thug, he must possess genuine prowess. At the least, he wouldn't be so feeble as to offer zero resistance before him.
This deceitful bastard had fooled him all this time!
Realizing this.
A piercing gleam sparked in Yi Feng's gaze. His countenance darkened faintly as he tossed back the premium wine in his cup at once.
Peering afar from the tavern's windowsill, his vision grew ever sharper. The lively mortal realm's bustle, the tangled emotions of joy, fury, grief, and bliss among all beings, unfolded before him in full.
His sight stretched infinitely to the horizon, his musings drifting endlessly onward.
Meanwhile.
Trillions of miles distant from the humble city, atop a glacial peak, several shadows emerged.
At the snowy cliff's edge, black-robed figures knelt in unison, reverently saluting the back-turned figure with hands behind. The leader relayed all known details honestly, unease evident in his tone.
Reporting to Your Excellency...
We've scoured every corner lately, delving into myriad secret realms and ancient clans, yet no word on the Lord of the Cloud Star. Nonetheless, Cloud Star is assuredly this galaxy's realm star. This comes from our exhaustive efforts, beyond any doubt. We swear upon our souls!
Once the tense words subsided, the group held their breath in silence for several moments.
Though snow blanketed the heavens, no other sounds pierced their ears then. The mounting pressure on body and soul intensified as they awaited the exalted one's command with utmost focus, faces etched with flattery and deference.
In mere breaths, tension gripped them like walking on thin ice.
The figure facing away never turned, merely posing softly.
Oh?
Days of probing, and this scant intelligence is all you've yielded?
Soft as it was, the words crashed like a glacial expanse, jolting all to bow low and avert eyes. The black-clad forms shuddered collectively.
Please forgive us, Your Excellency!
It's not incompetence on our part, but the Cloud Star Lord's cunning defies capture!
We've ransacked nearly every concealed spot on Cloud Star, omitting no ancient clans, yet not a hint emerges. We know not his refuge; even Cloud Star's human cultivators lack tidings of him!
The lead black figure pleaded desperately, only for queries to cut in.
Cloud Star as realm star? I've known that ages ago. Must I await your 'confirmation'? Bringing it up now, seeking praise?
First botched probe, now brazen excuses.
Are you worthy of our race's elite status?
Whoosh!
Whoosh!!!
As the mild phrases landed, horrifying auras erupted in waves, surging like towering seas, each surpassing the last. The preceding snowstorm raged over a hundredfold fiercer.
The black figures' forms tore open with gash after gash, as if diced by blades!
Many quaked violently, blood mists erupting.
Yet even then.
None voiced grievance. Dozens of black forms succumbed to terror, prostrating frantically and imploring mercy, voices quivering wildly!
Please forgive us, Your Excellency!
We've shirked our duties; grant mercy, Your Excellency!
This subordinate vows to atone with deeds; life itself I'll stake to uncover the Cloud Star Lord's location!
...
Amid frenzied kowtows of dread, blood drops stained the ice and snow, erupting into dense vapors. Even millennial frost began dissolving, their bloodlines akin to peerless relics.
At last.
The fearsome Excellency, hands behind back and eyes distant, waved lightly with mild irritation.
Enough.
With manpower short now, I grant you one shot.
The black figures kowtowed repeatedly in grateful reprieve, joy surging at their narrow escape.
Though emotions swirled chaotically.
When the profound voice resounded anew, silence reigned without disturbance!
That Cloud Star Lord conceals himself masterfully, wielding real cunning. Your paltry skills render further hunts futile...
Thus, impersonate his underlings, rampage and raze at will. Sow chaos to muddle waters. I doubt he'll stay hidden once his name lies in utter ruin!
These words stunned the black figures into shivers, their awed praises resounding!
What a genius stratagem!
Your Excellency is wise!
