Chapter 1297: Seeking Revenge

The starry sky is vast and boundless, the universe seemingly endless.

Even Lan Star, which nurtures billions of living beings, is but a drop in the ocean, slowly orbiting around Yuan Star, forever submitting to its rule over countless eons.

Yuan Star is truly deserving of its title as a sub-star, blessed with unparalleled advantages.

Whether in terms of planetary size or the abundance of resources, Lan Star cannot compare. Sacred places like the Land of Fallen Gods, which are revered on Lan Star, are commonplace on Yuan Star.

On such a formidable planet, even a single Life Envoy stepping out is enough to make other sub-stars tremble. They possess the absolute power to subjugate all living beings, akin to deities.

However.

At this very moment, at the frigid peak of Yuan Star, the bodies of two Life Envoys have been discovered.

Such an event is rarely heard of. On any ordinary star, it would be a calamity, enough to make the entire planet quake. Even on Yuan Star, it has caused a significant stir.

A man and a woman have been examining the scene for some time, their expressions grave.

"There's a demonic aura on their bodies. They were killed by demons!"

"Their Life Envoy robes have been stripped, and their Life Envoy tokens are missing. If our assumptions are correct, they were likely ambushed by demons, who then took their identities to act in their stead!"

These two are no ordinary individuals. After just a few moments of examination, they have deduced the truth.

The thought of demons daring to impersonate Life Envoys, possibly using their identities for their own purposes, is a scenario with unimaginable consequences. Their expressions grow even more severe, and they immediately begin sending out inquiries.

After several moments.

The handsome man, looking at the messages on his token, grows increasingly grim.

"This is bad..."

"These two Life Envoys were originally heading to Lan Star. If they were killed and replaced by demons, Lan Star might already be under demonic control, with its billions of inhabitants completely unaware!"

The woman, hearing this, is shocked and quickly responds through gritted teeth.

"We cannot allow the demons to run rampant!"

"If they are using the identities of Life Envoys to hide on Lan Star, the potential disaster is unimaginable. We must investigate this immediately and eliminate those two demons!"

The man nods and immediately sends out messages.

Once someone responds to handle the aftermath, he collects a trace of the demonic aura and tears open a portal in the void. The man and woman step through urgently, their expressions filled with determination.

As the void ripples open once more.

The two appear above the Land of Fallen Gods on Lan Star.

Given the gravity of the situation, they dare not slack off. Seeing the chaos in the sacred land, their eyes fill with urgency, and they quickly use a magical tool to track the demonic aura.

However, after just a few moments, the tool's light flickers and dims, then goes completely silent.

The man is stunned and frowns as he speaks.

"The demonic aura seems to have vanished suddenly, leaving only a faint trace on this ordinary star."

"According to common sense, no demon should be able to escape the detection of the Primordial Pearl, nor should their aura disappear so abruptly. Unless... these two demons are dead..."

As he finishes speaking, the woman beside him is equally shocked.

"What?!"

"The demons are dead?!"

"Lan Star is just an ordinary star. How could there be beings capable of killing such high-level demons? These are demons who could ambush and kill Life Envoys! They are no ordinary fiends!"

The man is also astonished, his frown deepening.

"This is indeed strange."

"I can't believe that an ordinary star would have beings with such power."

The two exchange grave looks, their eyes filled with disbelief.

The demonic ambush was already unexpected, and the situation was dire. But now, the developments are even more unforeseen, with more variables emerging, leaving them momentarily at a loss.

After a few moments of silence.

The two, still reeling from the shock, quietly discuss their next steps.

"Whether the demons are alive or dead, we must get to the bottom of this!"

"Exactly. Only by following the residual aura can we uncover the truth. Once we return to Yuan Star, we'll have something to report. We cannot let this matter rest here!"

The two nod at each other and immediately channel their cultivation into the magical tool.

Under the enhanced power of ancient forces, the tool's aura grows significantly stronger, its faint light brightening slightly, guiding them to tear open the void once more and depart.

Not long after, the two stop outside a desolate small town.

Hovering in the air, they observe for a while, noticing a man strolling leisurely, seemingly unremarkable. Yet, the magical tool no longer flickers, indicating that this person is the last trace of the demonic aura.

Instantly.

The two exchange a glance and land, blocking the man's path.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Two figures suddenly descend from the sky, wearing strange cloaks adorned with ancient runes, their gazes scrutinizing, as if they were bandits blocking the road.

Yi Feng frowns slightly.

Before he can speak, the man opposite him glares coldly, his expression severe.

"Did you kill two Life Envoys from the sub-stars?"

As soon as the words are spoken, both pairs of eyes lock onto Yi Feng, their gazes filled with starlight, as if they can discern even the slightest clue.

Seeing their demeanor and hearing such a question, which feels like an interrogation, Yi Feng is slightly annoyed and instinctively retorts.

"Who are you?"

As soon as he speaks, the other man pulls out a strange token, his cold gaze unwavering.

"We are from Yuan Star, the sub-star that governs your Lan Star. This matter is of great importance. You must answer truthfully. If you try to deceive us, think carefully before you speak!"

So they're from the sub-stars?

That means they're the fellow villagers of those two guys I killed, here to seek revenge, huh?

Yi Feng's eyes light up with understanding, and he finally feels a spark of excitement.

Earlier, while drinking with Gui Wanhai, he had heard from Old Turtle about how formidable the sub-stars were, and how killing those Life Envoys would bring serious trouble, so he needed to be cautious.

Who would have thought they'd come so quickly!

It seems the sub-stars really do have some substance. Logically, they should be much stronger than the Star Lords of Lan Star.

His plan to seek death might still have a glimmer of hope...

Thinking this, Yi Feng quickly admits.

"Yes!"

"I did kill two guys who claimed to be Life Envoys. So what?"

As he speaks, Yi Feng raises his head proudly.

At this moment, he feels no guilt for killing them. After all, they had intended to kill him first, and he was merely defending himself. Plus, with their fellow villagers here for revenge, he needs to act arrogantly to provoke them!

The more arrogant he acts, the sooner this fight will break out!

Just as Yi Feng eagerly awaits their reaction.

The two are momentarily stunned.

"So it really was you who killed them..."

Then, they exchange shocked glances and actually smile, praising him!

"Good! Well done!"

"Truly remarkable. Who would have thought Lan Star had someone like you!"

The sudden praise leaves Yi Feng utterly confused.

What the hell?

Bro, sis, are you out of your minds?

I'm the one who killed your fellow villagers! You came all this way not for revenge, but to praise me?!

Come on!

Even if you think with your heels, you should be here to avenge them, not cheering me on! Aren't you afraid your fellow villagers will die with their eyes wide open in resentment?

This isn't just not following the script—it's tearing the script to shreds!

How are we supposed to play this out now?
