Chapter 1383: The Masters Brilliant Insight

Seeing Manman still acting like a lifeless salted fish, with the demeanor of a dead snail unafraid of boiling water, Yi Feng knew that asking would be futile.

Moreover, it couldn't even speak, so continuing to press would just be a waste of energy.

With a helpless glance at the little snail, Yi Feng decided to ignore it.

Though he appeared indifferent, his mind was clearer than ever. He knew that the truths he was aware of were far more complex than he had previously imagined.

Now, he was no ordinary man. Not everyone could withstand a single slap from him, yet this dead snail remained unscathed and moved at an astonishing speed...

This existence was almost exactly as the system had described.

Involuntarily, Yi Feng's thoughts deepened.

The various gifts from the system, the beings around him...

And Lou Benwei, who had been there from the beginning.

If he wasn't mistaken, this guy was probably pretending to be clueless!

He had the title of the strongest fighter, so he must have some skills. At the very least, he shouldn't be so weak as to be completely defenseless in front of him.

This dog, he had been deceiving him all along!

Thinking this, a glint flashed in Yi Feng's eyes, and his expression darkened as he downed the fine wine in his cup.

Gazing out from the tavern's window, his vision became clearer. The bustling world below, with its myriad of joys and sorrows, was all laid bare before him.

As his gaze extended to the horizon, his thoughts drifted further and further away.

Meanwhile, millions of miles away from the small city, atop a peak of ice, several figures appeared.

At the edge of the icy cliff, a group of black-robed figures knelt in unison, paying their respects to a figure with its back turned. The leader reported everything they knew, his expression somewhat anxious.

"Reporting to the master..."

"We have been searching everywhere, exploring countless ancient clans and secret realms, but we have yet to find any information about the Lord of Yunxing. However, Yunxing is undoubtedly the boundary star of this galaxy. This is the result of our painstaking investigation, and we swear by our souls that it is true!"

After the tense words were spoken, the group waited in silence for a few moments.

Despite the howling wind and snow, they heard no extra sounds. The pressure on their minds and bodies continued to rise as they focused intently, awaiting the master's instructions with a mix of fear and reverence.

In just a few moments, they were all as tense as if walking on thin ice.

Yet, the figure with its back turned did not look back, only uttering a soft question.

"Oh?"

"After days of investigation, this is all you have to report?"

Though the words were spoken softly, they fell like a glacier, startling the group. They bowed their heads, and the black-robed figures collectively trembled.

"Master, forgive us!"

"It's not that we are incompetent, but the Lord of Yunxing is too cunning!"

"We have searched every hidden corner of Yunxing, not sparing any ancient clan, yet we found not a single trace of him. We don't know where he is hiding, and even the human cultivators of Yunxing have no information!"

The leading black-robed figure hurriedly defended, but was interrupted by further questioning.

"That Yunxing is the boundary star is something I already knew. Did I need your so-called verification? Are you trying to claim credit now?"

"First, you fail in your investigation, then you shamelessly make excuses."

"Do you even deserve to be called elites of our clan?"

Whoosh!

Whoosh!!!

With a few soft words, an overwhelming aura swept over them like waves, each stronger than the last. The snowstorm before them intensified a hundredfold.

The black-robed figures seemed as if they had been slashed by swords, their bodies suddenly covered in wounds!

Many were already trembling, blood mist swirling around them.

Yet, not a single one dared to voice any complaint. Dozens of black-robed figures were dominated by fear, quickly prostrating themselves and begging for mercy, their voices trembling.

"Master, forgive us!"

"We have failed in our duties, please show us mercy!"

"We are willing to atone for our mistakes, even at the cost of our lives, to find the Lord of Yunxing!"

...

Amidst the frantic kowtowing, drops of blood splattered onto the ice, turning into thick smoke. Even the thousand-year-old ice began to melt, as if the blood of these people was a precious treasure.

Finally, the terrifying figure with its back turned waved a hand dismissively, responding with a hint of impatience.

"Enough."

"Now is a time when we need all hands on deck. I will give you one more chance."

The black-robed figures kowtowed repeatedly, as if granted a reprieve from death, their faces filled with relief and joy.

But even as complex emotions played across their faces, when the deep voice spoke again, none dared to make a sound.

"The Lord of Yunxing is deeply hidden and has some tricks up his sleeve. With your meager skills, continuing the search would likely be futile..."

"Since that's the case, you will disguise yourselves as his subordinates and cause chaos everywhere, disrupting the situation. I refuse to believe that when the Lord of Yunxing's reputation is in tatters, he can continue to hide!"

With these words, the black-robed figures trembled, their voices filled with awe and reverence.

"This is a brilliant plan!"

"The master's insight is truly unparalleled!"
