I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God Chapter 1472: Enemies on a Narrow Road

Upon hearing Yi Feng's inquiry, he retrieved a simple map from his chest pocket and carefully examined it. After indicating a few locations, he lifted his gaze towards the courtyards situated to the north.

"We are at this moment positioned between the outer and inner sections of the Sect," he explained. "If we proceed further north, that most expansive courtyard complex is where the esteemed Elders and Protectors make their homes. I anticipate we shall acquire substantial gains from that area. As we are initiating the inaugural engagement of our guerrilla strategy, it is only fitting that we select a significant objective!"

Upon hearing this and glancing at the rudimentary map they held, the Youth in Black's eyes illuminated brilliantly. He swiftly leaned closer to get a better look for a few moments, then followed Yi Feng's line of sight to observe for a bit, unable to suppress an exclamation of admiration.

"My word!"

"This Young Master only witnessed you depart for a short duration earlier; how did you manage to procure a map?"

"This map appears unassuming, yet it seems remarkably accurate. It's no wonder our infiltration proceeded so flawlessly. You are truly exceptional!"

Yi Feng responded with a smile, tucking the map away before turning his attention back. "It is but a trifle. When I went out earlier, I offered some silver to a waiter and casually inquired about a few things. Subsequently, I engaged in conversation with various patrons at the inn for a spell, which provided me with a general understanding of the Tianyuan Sect. By synthesizing their accounts, I managed to compile this map."

"To be candid, this sketch is still somewhat lacking, and numerous vital locations remain undisclosed to me. This is particularly true for the most crucial treasure vault, information about which is virtually impossible for outsiders to ascertain. This Tianyuan Sect is simply immense; we will likely need to visit a few more times before we can pinpoint its precise whereabouts."

The Youth in Black, upon hearing this, couldn't help but give Yi Feng a resounding thumbs-up.

"Indeed, this is what one calls professionalism!"

"We must certainly return on multiple occasions; locating their treasure vault is paramount! This Young Master has set his sights on this Tianyuan Sect, and we shall plunder them until they are utterly destitute!"

As their discussion continued, their anticipation grew. Under the cloak of the night, they silently traversed the rooftops.

Proceeding northward without deviation, they bypassed several large compounds belonging to inner sect disciples, eventually reaching their intended destination.

Gazing forward, the area was adorned with elegant courtyards far more stately than those previously encountered. Further in the distance, four particularly opulent courtyards stood out, meticulously landscaped with a variety of exotic flora.

The Youth in Black observed this spectacle with eager eyes. Crossing his arms over his chest, he grinned and remarked.

"Hmm, it appears the vicinity ahead comprises the residences of the Tianyuan Sect's Elders."

Yi Feng nodded in agreement. He surveyed the surrounding courtyards for a few moments before softly speaking, retrieving the map to make some annotations.

"These courtyards directly before us also possess an unusual character."

"If my assessment is correct, the proprietors of these dwellings hold positions of considerable influence. They ought to belong to the Protectors and Deacons of the Tianyuan Sect."

Hearing this, the Youth in Black turned back with a smile.

"Protectors of the Tianyuan Sect?"

"Heh, then there should be some considerable spoils to extract from them. This Young Master shall show no restraint!"

Immediately following these words, a shadowy form streaked past in an instant.

In mere moments, he had thoroughly ransacked the row of courtyards before him. His swift footwork was a testament to his background as a battle-hardened expert. His movements were exceptionally precise, and his ability to suppress his aura was so profound that neither celestial beings nor earthly spirits could detect him!

Yi Feng remained perched on the eaves, acting as a lookout. After a prolonged period of silent observation, he finally witnessed his companion's return.

To Yi Feng's surprise, the Youth in Black was now holding over a dozen storage rings, yet his expression was one of utter disdain.

"Damn it..."

"This Young Master is truly speechless. What kind of pathetic Tianyuan Sect Protectors are these? They live far too meagerly! Everything within is worthless rubbish; they scarcely possessed any silver! This so enraged this Young Master that I terminated all their lives!"

"We should proceed to scrutinize the Elders' courtyards ahead. There is no potential for profit in this sector!"

Yi Feng offered a silent smile, continuing to guide the Youth in Black forward.

This time, their progress was markedly more cautious, their auras completely suppressed. They alighted upon the nearest elevated eaves to observe silently, refraining from any hasty actions.

After all.

The four courtyards facing them were the residences of the Tianyuan Sect's four great protectors, whose cultivation bases were on par with theirs. Even executing a clandestine night raid, they couldn't afford to drop their guard!

Upon initial inspection.

The first three courtyards were devoid of any illumination, appearing to be submerged in deep slumber. This caused the two to feel a sense of bewilderment. The Elders of the Tianyuan Sect were all cultivators at the Heavenly Sun Realm; abstaining from food for a month was a trivial matter for them, so why were their daily routines so rigidly structured?

Just as the pair exchanged quizzical looks, a beacon of light ahead captured their attention.

Compelled by their curiosity.

Yi Feng and the Youth in Black stealthily glided closer, meticulously suppressing their auras. Utilizing the dense bamboo grove within the courtyard as concealment, they advanced toward the grand, brightly lit manor.

Peeking discreetly through the windowpane, they were astonished to discover their adversary from earlier – Feng Mofeng.

It seems fate truly brings enemies together on a narrow path!

Unconsciously, their surveillance intensified!

The elder was observed sitting upright upon a plush divan, engaged in deep meditation to regulate his breathing. Adjacent to him rested a brocade box, cradling a single medicinal pill of evidently extraordinary quality.

Witnessing this tableau.

A silent exchange of glances passed between the two, and an immediate strategy materialized in their minds.

Yi Feng executed a sequence of hand seals, which the Youth in Black, understanding instantly, acknowledged by retreating behind the bamboo cluster.

Subsequently, Yi Feng gathered his entire cultivation strength and unleashed a palm strike through the window, aimed directly at the figure meditating within the chamber!

"Boom!"

A surge of profound spiritual energy violently erupted, its overwhelming momentum startling Feng Mofeng into opening his eyes!

"Who goes there!"

Before he could ascertain the intruder's identity, a ferocious gale had already blasted through the wooden window and the exterior wall, sending debris and dust hurtling into the tranquil room!

The sheer potency of the spiritual energy and palm wind astounded Feng Mofeng; abandoning all else, he ascended rapidly, breaching the roof to evade the surprise assault!

By the time he alighted upon the rooftop, the courtyard below was engulfed in a tumultuous cloud of dust and smoke!

There stood a lone, familiar silhouette, causing Feng Mofeng's pupils to contract sharply at the sight!

"It's you!"

"Audacious whelp, to dare infiltrate my Tianyuan Sect alone for a sneak attack. Today, I shall ensure your utter annihilation and the eradication of your Dao!"

Feng Mofeng had absolutely not anticipated Yi Feng's audacity in striking at his very abode, let alone shattering the tranquility of his courtyard chamber. Enraged, his eyes blazed with lethal intent!

However, before he could retaliate, Yi Feng took flight!

This maneuver provoked Yi Feng to grind his teeth even further. Incapable of venting the inferno within his heart, he succumbed to his fury and gave chase impetuously!

As the two figures vanished one after the other, the tremendous disturbance ignited a cacophony of exclamations throughout the surroundings. Nearly half of the Tianyuan Sect was roused, with disciples of every rank flocking towards the commotion!

Witnessing the Fourth Elder in hot pursuit of an unknown figure across the sky, all gazes were irresistibly drawn to the unfolding drama.

Momentarily, gasps and shouts echoed in every direction, as an increasing number of individuals craned their necks skyward in astonishment!

"What was that tremendous sound!"

"What transpired?"

"Quick, look! Isn't that the Fourth Elder soaring through the sky?"

"And there's another individual in rapid retreat far ahead!"

"Just who could it be that warrants the Fourth Elder's personal pursuit for extermination?"

"To think this individual managed to breach the Tianyuan Sect's defenses; they are certainly no ordinary cultivator!"

Seizing the opportunity presented by the Tianyuan Sect's ensuing disarray.

The Youth in Black swiftly penetrated the invaded chamber, located the medicinal pill with remarkable celerity, and vanished into the darkness amidst the pandemonium, leaving no trace.

Amidst the escalating uproar.

Feng Mofeng relentlessly pursued the figure ahead, his mind consumed by the desire for vengeance!

He had already suffered a disadvantage earlier and narrowly avoided humiliation. The notion that his opponent would then brazenly confront him at his doorstep infuriated him further. If he failed to subdue this brat tonight, his reputation would be utterly ruined!

Yet, the more his killing intent intensified, the more vigorously the adversary unleashed their spiritual energy to flee. Feng Mofeng, whose energy reserves were already depleted, found himself unable to close the distance despite his strenuous pursuit.

Observing that he had already chased for well over a hundred miles, the clamor of the Tianyuan Sect disciples had long since faded into silence. He still found it impossible to apprehend the detested Yi Feng. With no other recourse, he was compelled to retreat, resolving to mobilize a sufficient force the following day to obliterate the New Sword Sect and settle all outstanding grievances!

Upon his eventual return to his quarters.

A throng of curious inner sect disciples had already congregated around the area. Upon noticing the multitude, Feng Mofeng instinctively felt the urge to dash into the courtyard to retrieve his pills. However, he suddenly had a realization!

"Oh no..."

"Could it be?"

Disregarding the greetings from the numerous disciples, Feng Mofeng strode directly into the courtyard. He spent a considerable amount of time searching through the debris of the meditation room. As expected, not a single trace of his precious pills could be found.

At that instant, he let out incessant roars, his hair standing on end in sheer, unadulterated fury!

"Bastards!"

"BASTARDS!!!"

He had been utterly deceived.

He had fallen prey to the classic stratagem of luring the tiger away from its mountain!

Precisely at this critical juncture, waves of astonished and enraged whispers emanated from the crowd behind him.

"Something absolutely terrible has occurred!"

"Several protectors have been ruthlessly assassinated!"

Upon hearing this devastating news, Feng Mofeng froze. His fury intensified to an unbearable extreme, and his furious roar seemed to pierce the very heavens!

"You despicable little thieves!"

"This old man vows vengeance, and I shall not find peace until you two are dead!"

Engulfed in his explosive rage, Feng Mofeng's hair and beard whipped about wildly as his spiritual Qi erupted forth. The terrifying aura that emanated from him shook more than half of the Heavenly Fate Sect, and the dreadful news of the fallen protectors spread like a devastating hurricane!

In a mere handful of breaths.

The grand main hall of the Heavenly Fate Sect was instantaneously packed with formidable figures. Even the Great Elder, who had been immersed in secluded cultivation for an extended period, was disturbed and made an appearance. Sect Master Jin Zhenyuan's eyes blazed with fury as he glared and issued a solemn decree on the spot!

"Audacious miscreants! How dare you brazenly assassinate our esteemed sect's protectors!"

"Identify precisely who is responsible for this atrocity!"

"Summon the Fourth Elder to this location immediately!"

Before the first hint of dawn had even broken, the entire Heavenly Fate Sect was plunged into an unprecedented state of chaos and panic. The disciples were utterly terrified, and the highest echelons of the sect were consumed by incandescent rage.

When Feng Mofeng finally entered the main hall and recounted the startling events he had witnessed, it left all the supreme leaders of the Heavenly Fate Sect in a state of absolute bewilderment and blistering fury!
