I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God Chapter 1420: Go with the Flow
Previously on I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God...
A furious roar lacerated the nine heavens, with the Star Lord Manor's bellowing intensifying.
"Damnable Demon Race! To commit such atrocities! If I don't eradicate these butchers, I shall find no rest even in death!"
"This enmity is utterly irreconcilable!"
Long Tian's eyes burned red. His fists clenched as he roared without cease, his cultivation energy surging forth, yet it still felt insufficient to release the grief and indignation consuming his heart.
At this very instant, his emotional defenses shattered completely!
He had initially believed that by enduring silently within the human ranks, even if some misunderstandings arose, there might still be a future opportunity to rejoin the Demon Race and achieve great things.
Never could he have foreseen that a minor misunderstanding would escalate so drastically, leading to the utter annihilation of the Black Flood Dragon clan.
This realization sent a chilling tremor through his very being!
He had only slain a handful of Bull Demons out of dire necessity. When the elites of various clans foolishly threw their lives away without grasping the truth, he had merely acted in self-defense.
Why would the Demon Race deny him any chance for explanation, and instead unleash their fury upon his entire clan!
Since achieving his current level of cultivation, he had devoted tens of thousands of years to the Demon Race, consistently taking the race's revival as his personal duty. Yet, in the end, he was nothing more than a mere pawn, and the entire Black Flood Dragon clan was merely a sacrificial offering to appease the rage of the other clans!
His lifelong loyalty had ultimately been misplaced, given to the wrong individuals!
The more Long Tian contemplated this, the fiercer his anger grew, his breathing becoming ragged and heavy.
He spoke with a deep voice, his eyes alight with killing intent!
"From this moment on, though my very soul be obliterated, I shall annihilate the entire Demon Race!"
His voice, cold and grim, carried an incredible resolve, resonating perfectly with the pronouncements befitting a Star Lord.
At this precise juncture.
Long Tian had entirely cast aside his lingering illusions, fully embracing his role as the true Lord of Cloud Star, severing all ties of body and soul from the Demon Race!
However, the sheer intensity of his rage inevitably caused a sense of unease among those present.
The Star God Guards exchanged knowing glances and promptly bowed, attempting to offer a subtle counsel.
"Uh..."
"My Lord Star Lord, we implore you to quell your anger. While the Demon Race is indeed cruel and tyrannical, as the sovereign of all Cloud Star, we hope you will consider the larger strategic picture in all your endeavors and not become overly preoccupied with trivial matters."
"What they say holds merit. We trust Your Lordship will act with prudence; the Demon Race is not to be trifled with."
As their words concluded.
Long Tian's expression shifted ever so slightly, recognizing that he had indeed lost his composure.
Fortunately, his intellect was exceptional. After a mere few breaths of contemplation, he angrily chastised them to shift the topic, seizing the moment to caution the Star God Guards!
"Insolent fools!"
"The Demon Race's tyranny knows no bounds and will soon imperil the entire galaxy. How can this possibly be considered an irrelevant matter? Utterly preposterous!"
"Today, those vile creatures can annihilate the Black Flood Dragon clan; tomorrow, they will obliterate countless planets. As Star God Guards, do you not grasp the fundamental principle that without the lips, the teeth themselves are vulnerable to the cold?!"
Long Tian was overwhelmed by a tempest of fury, his mouth spewing a continuous stream of indignant curses.
Upon hearing this, the Star God Guards bowed their heads low, feigning an air of culpability.
"Your Lordship is wise; it was we who were foolish."
Witnessing this, Long Tian made a grand gesture with his hand and issued a decisive command!
"Your further counsel is unnecessary; my decision is made!"
"Effective immediately, we shall mobilize all available forces to impose sanctions upon the Demon Race. Despite the Demon Race's formidable foundations, our Cloud Star need not necessarily cower before them!"
"Provided we locate the Demon Race's numerous strongholds and conquer them systematically, commencing with the weakest, the Demon Race will inevitably sustain a significant blow. When their strength diminishes and ours escalates, we shall possess the capability for direct confrontation!"
As he articulated his strategy, Long Tian impatiently channeled his cultivation energy to sketch a celestial map.
Shortly thereafter, several glowing star charts materialized in the hall's atmosphere. The multitude of Demon Race strongholds, both large and small, were meticulously marked upon them; even the hidden lairs nestled on obscure, minor planets were readily discernible.
These locations, once familiar and intensely sought after, now elicited only a frigid gaze from Long Tian's eyes.
Without allowing the Star God Guards an opportunity to inquire, he elucidated his plan and commanded in a deep, resonant voice.
"Ahem, as you can see, I have investigated the Demon Race for many years and have long known of many hidden locations. These strongholds are occupied by many demons. Although they are not the main headquarters of the Demon Realm, the demons within them are also formidably strong."
"Therefore, within three days, you must gather the experts of Cloud Star before we set out to battle. As long as we destroy the Demon Race strongholds one by one, we will definitely cripple the Demon Race!"
"This matter is extremely urgent. Act quickly!"
Seeing Long Tian's urgent and furious demeanor, the Star God Guards hurriedly bowed.
"Understood, Lord Star Lord!"
"We will definitely do our best to recruit the experts of Cloud Star to help Your Lordship destroy the Demon Race strongholds!"
Their attitude was as respectful as ever, which was quite reassuring. However, the Demon Race was simply too strong, and Long Tian still felt a bit uneasy.
After pondering for a few breaths, he gave them another strict warning.
"Everyone, this battle is extremely dangerous. We must gather true experts. As Star God Guards, you must have heard of the reclusive seniors on Cloud Star. If we can appeal to their sense of righteousness and invite these experts to come out of seclusion, we might have a slight chance of winning."
"This matter concerns the safety of the entire galaxy. You absolutely must not slack off in the slightest!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Star God Guards responded solemnly.
"Please rest assured, Your Lordship. We will definitely invite true experts to assist. Within three days, we will surely return to the Star Lord Manor. Please await our good news!"
After clasping their fists, the Star God Guards tore through the void and departed.
Long Tian was left standing alone in the hall, waves of worry appearing in his eyes.
After a long silence, he let out a long sigh and gazed out the door at the endless firmament.
"Alas..."
"This battle will likely be a fight to the bitter end. My death is not a pity; my only regret is that I cannot severely injure the Demon Venerable! I also don't know where that great monk went. If he could help, we might have a chance of winning."
"I just hope that Cloud Star still has a few decent experts."
He pondered for several breaths.
Long Tian's expression became resolute as he issued several orders in succession.
Before long, the conscription order for the demon-slaying army spread throughout Luohai City. Countless cultivators felt their blood boil with passion, and Star Lord Long Tian's prestige reached an unprecedented height!
At the same time.
The Star God Guards quietly returned to Shadow Island, causing a minor sensation. Along the way, many people greeted them warmly, and many older women sighed with emotion at the long-awaited reunion, even thinking that the pork shop was going to reopen.
Until they entered the office building.
Led by Pork Rong, they went straight to the office and reported everything truthfully.
After listening to the account.
Su Yunyun sat quietly in her office chair, nodding slightly as she spoke.
"For Long Tian to take the initiative to lead the troops into battle saves us the effort of brainwashing him, which is a good thing. Since the war is finally about to begin and he needs manpower, let's just push the boat along with the current."
Pork Rong respectfully clasped his fists, his eyes revealing admiration.
"Everything is proceeding according to plan. Young Miss's calculations are brilliant!"
Hearing this, Su Yunyun nodded slightly and issued several orders to the people outside the door.
Not long after.
The head of the waste disposal station, Master Lu, the idle elderly brothers Lu Qingshan and Wu Yonghong, along with the gatekeeping security team member Jiang Zhi and dozens of others, all stood in the spacious office and bowed.
"Fifth Miss, what orders do you have for us?"
Most of them were veterans of Shadow Island. Although their status could not compare to that of the personal disciples, they could barely be considered middle-management figures. Naturally, they were quite close to Su Yunyun, but gathering all together today inevitably made them feel a bit surprised.
It was hard to imagine what could require everyone to come together.
Looking at the curious gazes of the crowd, Su Yunyun gave her instructions.
"It's nothing major. We just need to put on a play, and conveniently collect some Demon Race corpses to build real estate. I will have to trouble everyone..."
After a brief explanation, the crowd suddenly understood and clasped their fists.
"So that's how it is."
"We will naturally offer our services!"
As Su Yunyun nodded in agreement, the pork shop assistant immediately led the way. Everyone confidently cupped their fists in farewell and stepped out of the Shadow Island.
Laughter echoed all the way, and their eyes were filled with unwavering confidence.
"Fellow disciples, make sure you put in a good effort and play along with that kid Long Tian to put on a decent show!"
"Do not worry, Fifth Miss! We would never slack off on a task assigned by you!"
"Hmm, it has been a while since our old bones have stretched. How about we have a friendly competition to see who can kill the most demons? What do you all say?"
"Now that is precisely what I was thinking! I have recently grasped a divine ability from the Dao of Excrement. It will surely open your eyes!"
"Since Master Lu is so confident, why don't we wager a movie ticket?"
"Just one ticket? Let's make it at least ten, and they must be for the midnight showings!"
"Hahaha..."
A chorus of cheerful laughter filled the squadron. By the time everyone exited the spatial ripples, they had reached the exterior of the Star Lord's Mansion, finding themselves engulfed by a colossal crowd brimming with fiery battle intent!
Inside the Star Lord's Mansion, Long Tian paced back and forth with palpable anxiety.
Suddenly.
The grand main doors swung open, and the Star God Guards made their entrance.
Long Tian, who had been anxiously awaiting their return, rushed forward and inquired loudly!
"How did it go?"
"Were you able to recruit any experts?"
The Star God Guards offered smiles, bowed, and then stepped aside to create an opening.
"My Lord, please see for yourself!"
"We have successfully invited several experts, and they are currently waiting patiently in the courtyard!"
Upon hearing this, a flicker of anticipation ignited in Long Tian's eyes.
Gazing past the guards towards the entrance, he observed a collection of ragged, unkempt old men, followed by individuals dressed in plain, ordinary attire. They all appeared completely unremarkable.
Instantly, his brows knitted in slight displeasure.
"These are the supposed experts you invited?"
