I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God Chapter 1399: Turning the Enemys Trick Against Them
Previously on I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God...
All unfolded precisely as anticipated.
The whole Demon Race got utterly convinced by the Demon Venerable's clever tactics, drowning in the arrogant delight of clutching sure victory.
Following brief cheers, every member of the Demon Race started daydreaming about the splendor of their ultimate conquest ahead. Long Tian, the prodigy personally nurtured by Lord Demon Venerable, shouldered a massive role in this scheme. His execution proved almost perfect, elevating his reputation to new peaks while carrying the hopes of the entire Demon Race.
However.
Long Tian, the demon bearing all their aspirations, found himself ensnared in a storm of clashing feelings right now.
"Phew..."
Harsh gales howled by his ears while he traversed the void, slicing straight through the cosmic void.
Cloud Star loomed directly ahead. Apprehension mounted on Long Tian's face. Not even his impeccable facade could mask the terror surging within, causing his eyebrows to knit faintly.
What was he to do?
Was there really no way to retreat anymore?Situations spiraled far beyond predictions, with the strategy utterly off track. He had never dreamed the Demon Venerable would command a chase after him. For self-preservation, he ended up slaying more of his fellow demons, thus turning into a criminal among the Demon Race.
In the current state.
The Demon Race must have branded him a betrayer by now. Why bother going back to Cloud Star to keep up the infiltration?
Could it be...
Going forward, his sole path led to Cloud Star, transforming the pretense into truth by genuinely claiming the role of Cloud Star's Master?!
Impossible!
A supreme Demon Race prodigy like him—how could he mingle with inferior humans!
Inner turmoil intensified, tightening Long Tian's furrowed brows.
Without realizing, he decelerated, even considering escape. Yet glancing at the monk ahead, that bottomless and merciless presence plunged him into utter hopelessness instantly.
A proud demon prodigy reduced to a powerless insect, trapped in a bind where his finest schemes proved utterly worthless!
That subtle change in his bearing and breath stayed nearly undetectable.
Yet it evaded Chen Kunpeng's notice not at all.
He halted, turned around, piercing Long Tian's inner struggle with one look.
With a grin, he addressed him, his inquiring voice brimming with kindness.
"Benefactor."
"Why did you halt all of a sudden?"
"As Cloud Star's Master, you've just crushed the demon swarm and shielded every life form. With merits so grand, stride back proudly, chest out, to receive the reverent greeting from all beings. A bit of mess in your looks matters little."
"This fight gives you full reason to boast."
His words barely landed when Long Tian's eyes quivered in shock.
"The reverent greeting from all beings...?"
That fearful look laid bare the surprise churning inside him. After such a huge feat, he hadn't foreseen this honor, revealing his lofty trait of shunning fame and gain.
Though his cultivation lagged and Buddhist essence fell a tad short.
Possessing that caliber qualified him for Star Master.
Chen Kunpeng discerned it all instantly, his smile gaining a scarce hint of admiration.
"Indeed."
"Moments ago, this humble monk messaged Cloud Star's countless cultivators, airing the prior clash's recording. You merit the reverent greeting from all beings—no need for humility."
Hiss...
Those words dropped, and Long Tian drew a sharp, icy gasp inwardly!
That recent clash got aired across everywhere by this monk?!
Damn it!
Didn't that expose the full scene to Cloud Star's inhabitants, making them eyewitnesses to his massacre of Demon Race kin?!
Henceforth.
No explanations would ever wash away his guilt.
The Demon Race just had to dispatch an inquisitor, and they'd learn he felled the tribal elites. Be it the demon swarm's brutality or the Demon Venerable's icy tyranny, neither would spare him.
This stroke.
Snapped his final lifeline, compelling return to Cloud Star without options!
This monk proved excessively vicious!
Fuck!
The deeper he pondered, the icier his core turned, as total ruin's hopelessness engulfed his spirit.
Long Tian felt like weeping without tears. Daring not to unleash the gut full of fury inside him, he could only inwardly curse Chen Kunpeng's ancestors across eighteen generations over and over!
Noticing the monk's gaze fixed on him with a grin.
Terrified, Long Tian halted his thoughts at once, forcing a smile onto his face and bowing deeply.
"Master flatters me far too much..."
"Ah, yes, yes, yes! You're completely correct. As Cloud Star's Master, after enduring this brutal fight, I've earned some credit. I should return with pride held high!"
Upon hearing these words, Chen Kunpeng nodded contentedly at last and moved forward again.
"Wonderful, wonderful."
In merely one breath's time, Chen Kunpeng's form flashed as a ray of light, dropping down onto Cloud Star.
As he observed, Long Tian's eyelids spasmed uncontrollably. No matter his heart's thousand reluctances, he remained powerless. Sandwiched between factions and rejected by both, he possessed no footing left in the Demon Race, nor any chance for his own decision. Going to Cloud Star might be his lone road to survival.
Currently.
Going with the flow and advancing step by step was all he could do.
With this realization.
Long Tian inhaled deeply, quietly soothing himself inwardly.
"I am Cloud Star's Master, I am Cloud Star's Master..."
After repeating these hypnotic words silently in his mind a few times, his turbulent thoughts finally steadied, and he transformed into a beam of light, chasing right after to Cloud Star.
