I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God Chapter 1477: Huge Harvest

Yi Feng’s straightforward advance prompted the Youth in Black to reveal himself. Upon spotting the two demonic beasts, however, he erupted into laughter.

"Pfft..."

"Hahahaha!"

"This is too much! I’ve journeyed far and wide for ages, yet I’ve never witnessed such a comical scene. You can’t even breach the treasury’s entrance, so what audacity led you to even consider stealing from it?"

Once the Toad and the snail got a clear view of the newcomer and noted his attire was not that of the Tianyuan Sect, their vigilance lessened slightly.

Yet, the Toad’s grip tightened on its massive fork upon hearing the laughter, its face contorted in indignation!

"Damn it!"

"What’s so amusing, you scoundrel! I simply lack understanding of human formations; is that so bizarre in your eyes?"

The Youth in Black remained unfazed by the Toad’s outburst. Folding his arms, he continued his mockery.

"Very well, very well."

"With your puny abilities, you’re entirely unsuited for treasure thievery. Stand aside and allow Yours Truly to open this treasury!"

These words prompted a silent exchange of glances between the Toad and the snail, their eyes reflecting disbelief.

"What?"

"Are you also here to pilfer the treasure? We arrived first; why should we yield it to you?"

The Toad, seething with indignation, refused to budge an inch from its imposing stance.

Similarly, the Youth in Black stood his ground with a haughty, arrogant expression, his imposing aura surging once more.

If this standoff persisted, a confrontation was inevitable.

Both parties possessed quite a fiery temper.

Continuing down this path would not only result in failure to secure the treasure but likely incite significant trouble.

Yi Feng, observing the escalating tension, let out a soft chuckle and stepped forward a few paces to mediate.

"We are all drawn by the treasure, and no enmity exists between us. There is no need for conflict here. Furthermore, this is the Tianyuan Sect’s treasury. Causing a disturbance will bring ill fortune to all of us."

The Youth in Black merely cast a cold snort in the Toad’s direction upon hearing Yi Feng’s words, too indifferent to pay it further heed.

The Toad pondered briefly, then glanced at the snail, nodding slightly before fixing its gaze upon Yi Feng.

"Your words hold merit. They are far more palatable than anything this fellow has uttered."

"Tell us then, what is to be done?"

A smile graced Yi Feng’s lips as he heard this. He then turned his gaze towards the massive treasury doors.

"You expended considerable effort to neutralize the guards, but your inability to break the door’s formation renders those efforts futile. Fortunately, my companion possesses considerable knowledge of formations. Why don't we join forces and divide the treasures within equally?"

The Toad and the snail exchanged another look and slowly assented.

"That is a viable approach."

"You mentioned an equal split; you had better honor your word!"

Though its words retained a commanding edge, the tone had softened considerably. It was evident that Yi Feng’s reasonable demeanor had garnered a favorable impression, or at least a preliminary sense of trust for collaboration.

Conversely, Yi Feng also found these two monstrous beings to be quite sensible, capable of compromise – a stark contrast to worldly individuals who would forsake greater principles for petty gains.

After a brief exchange of words.

Yi Feng gave the Youth in Black a knowing glance.

The youth returned a slight nod and proceeded directly to the treasury door. He cast a sidelong, smirking glance at the large Toad behind him before confidently assessing the imposing door and speaking with a laugh.

"Little Toad, observe closely and learn. I shall demonstrate my prowess!"

The Toad wore a visibly disdainful expression upon hearing this.

However, in the very next moment.

The Youth in Black began channeling his spiritual Qi. His hands executed intricate hand seals, weaving complex formation patterns with his spiritual energy. Within mere moments, the colossal door actually began to creak open!

"Rumble..."

Accompanied by a deep, resonant rumble, the massive stone portals slowly ascended. A radiant cascade of jewels and treasures erupted from within, astonishing the onlookers and filling their faces with unrestrained delight.

The Toad’s eyes widened considerably, its face etched with sheer incredulity!

"This!"

Gazing once more at the slightly undersized figure clad in black before it, the Toad’s expression conveyed utter astonishment!

The Youth in Black, however, did not spare them a glance. His arms remained crossed, his face radiating pride.

"Now you comprehend my magnificence!"

Only when Yi Feng advanced did he steadily follow, moving towards the depths of the treasury aglow with brilliant light. The snail, likewise, slowly slithered in their wake.

Watching the procession move inward, one by one.

The Toad's eyes also burned with passion. It gritted its teeth, gave a grunt of acknowledgment, and strode inside while clutching its giant fork.

"F-fine, you're amazing!"

Before long.

The two humans and two monsters entered the depths of the treasury. Gazing at the mountains of spirit stones and immortal herbs, they cheered in excitement. The Toad continuously began to swallow mouthfuls of various exotic flowers and rare herbs, while the Youth in Black charged into a mountain of silver and coins, laughing incessantly.

For a time, the treasury was filled with the purest sounds of hearty laughter!

Meanwhile.

Late at night in the grand hall of the Tianyuan Sect's Sect Master.

Jin Zhenyuan was resting and cultivating on a soft couch when suddenly, a bright pearl resting on the jade table beside him began to flash incessantly, startling him into snapping his eyes open!

Staring at the continuously flashing light, a look of suspicion and alarm rose in his eyes.

"The treasury has actually been opened?"

In the next instant, Jin Zhenyuan suddenly realized something. He then abruptly took out the jade slip he kept on him and frantically issued an order!

"Not good!"

"Four Great Elders, rush to the treasury immediately!!!"

After giving the urgent order, Jin Zhenyuan also hurriedly stepped out, flying swiftly toward the back mountain!

Inside the treasury.

The eyes of the two humans and two demons were filled with the joy of a bountiful harvest!

The endless wealth of spiritual treasures was a haul unlike anything they had ever seen in their lives. The Toad devoured various spiritual herbs and pills without stopping for a moment, while the Youth in Black took out over ten spatial rings and filled them with gold, silver, and treasures!

The snail seemed somewhat calm, merely eating various rare and precious materials at a sluggish pace.

By comparison.

Yi Feng appeared much more clear-headed. Aside from collecting a few wealthy spiritual treasures, he set his sights on several sealed brocade boxes and small chests. Opening them, he actually discovered various cultivation techniques. After a brief inspection, he selected them based on their grade and stored them in his spatial ring.

In just a few breaths, Yi Feng had finished his work and wrapped up.

He knew very well that although this trip seemed to yield massive rewards, the risks were equally immense!

At such a critical moment, being overly greedy was definitely not a wise move.

As the saying goes: men die for wealth, just as birds die for food.

Who knows how many people had fallen victim to their own greed. Now that they were deep within the Tianyuan Sect's treasury, they had to race against time. After obtaining enough wealth, they needed to know when to stop and retreat. They absolutely could not be overly greedy for the riches before their eyes.

Otherwise, once the matter was exposed and the entire Tianyuan Sect came to besiege them, there would be no way out!

Knowing the situation was critical, Yi Feng immediately sought out the Youth in Black after finishing collecting his treasures, calling out for him to leave!

"Brother!"

"That's enough, let's retreat quickly!"

The Youth in Black was laughing heartily as he packed up mountains of gold and silver. Seeing that he had already filled ten spatial rings snatched from the Tianyuan Sect's protectors, he still had two rings left, waiting to pack the two mountains of gold right in front of him.

Right at this crucial moment, retreating suddenly naturally left him feeling unwilling!

"Brother! Wait for me! Just wait a little longer!"

Seeing that he was somewhat losing control of himself, Yi Feng couldn't bother saying more and hastily stepped forward to grab him.

"Let's go!"

"Brother, if we don't leave now, I'm afraid it will be too late!"

"If there's a next time, when we come back to the treasury, I'll definitely let you take away these mountains of gold!"

Next time?

Hearing these words, the Youth in Black felt a sharp pain in his heart.

But looking at Yi Feng's anxious expression, he also knew that his brother would never harm him. He was even more aware that every passing breath increased the risk!

Left with no choice, the Youth in Black could only grit his teeth and turn his head, cursing under his breath!

"Ahhh, my mountains of gold!"

"When we come next time, Yours Truly is going to haul all of this away!"

The two brothers pulled each other away, extremely reluctant. Just as they were about to step out of the treasury, they realized that Toad was still inside, devouring pills and spirit herbs. Who knew how many pounds he had eaten; his belly was already bulging, yet he showed no signs of stopping, continually swallowing mouthful after mouthful!

Now this was true greed!

The two watched with their eyelids twitching wildly, and out of loyalty, they tugged at Toad!

"Hurry up! Let's go!"

Who could have imagined this fellow was so weighty? His colossal form remained unmoving, still wearing an expression of pure delight. He was completely unaware of the considerable time that had elapsed, and that lingering any longer courted grave peril!

His carelessness was truly astounding, prioritizing food above his very existence!

The Youth in Black grew agitated and sprang into action, delivering a swift punch!

"Bang!"

Toad was immediately sent sprawling to the ground, his gluttonous feasting finally halted. A sizable lump formed on his head as he jolted awake, turning to face the pair with eyes wide with surprise and simmering anger!

Before he could voice a single syllable of complaint, the Youth in Black launched into a torrent of reprimands!

"Eat, eat, eat!"

"Continue this gluttony, and you'll forfeit your life!"

Toad still felt a pang of indignation. He clambered to his feet, a vexed expression upon his face, but unexpectedly, the Youth in Black unleashed his spiritual energy, forcibly hauling him from the treasury!

Only upon exiting the treasury did they become aware that the snail had not yet emerged.

The snail's unhurried movement ignited Yi Feng's impatience. It was then he recalled that ordinary snails were, by their very nature, unhurried creatures. Glancing back, they could already discern figures hurtling through the night sky from a distance, causing the spirits of the three companions to plummet.

Casting all other concerns aside, Yi Feng too channeled his spiritual energy, darting back inside, hoisting the snail onto his shoulder, and leading the trio in a hasty retreat.

Encountering disciples of the Tianyuan Sect along their escape route was inevitable, and remarkably, they even crossed paths with the Fourth Elder, Feng Mofeng!
