Chapter 1292: Visitor from the Sub-Star
Lan Star.
Ever since the Fallen God Temple was destroyed by a single sword strike, the Fallen God Lands have been in chaos. The outer regions are rife with conflicts between various sects, and even the floating islands at the center of the divine lands have begun their overt and covert struggles.
This sacred land, once prosperous for tens of thousands of years, has suddenly become a place where everyone feels insecure, plunged into a deathly silence.
In the sky.
Two figures, having watched for a long time as ripples spread from their presence, slowly pulled back their cloaks embroidered with mysterious patterns, revealing handsome young faces. The coldness in their eyes grew more pronounced, even tinged with a hint of disappointment.
"Is this the center of Lan Star?"
The other man was a few years older, his demeanor equally extraordinary, his eyes holding a cold and annoyed look.
"A mere mortal star. Of course it's this wretched. What else could you possibly expect?"
"Enough idle talk. Do you know who the Star Lord of this mortal star is, what he looks like, or where he is?"
The handsome young man wore a light smile, casually spreading his hands.
"This barren mortal star is our first visit. How would I know who the Star Lord is? That kind of low-rate character isn't even worthy of my notice, is he?"
The older man glanced back coldly, a sinister chill flickering in his eyes.
"Forget it."
"Whoever the Star Lord is, I can't be bothered to search for him. I'll just send a message. He will surely come to pay his respects respectfully."
As he spoke, he took out a command token from his sleeve. It was somewhat similar to a Star Lord's token, but noticeably more ornate, with more complex array patterns engraved upon it.
The young man's smile widened, nodding in agreement.
"Right."
"We are Envoys of the Child Star's Mandate, holding the Mandate Star Tokens. How would a mere Star Lord dare to disobey?"
As the words fell.
The older man had already sent several messages. The mysterious array patterns on the token in his hand lit up with a faint glow, emanating an aura of immense sacredness.
...
Far away in the outer reaches of the divine lands.
Yi Feng wore an expression of utter despair, drowning his sorrows in a tavern.
His grand plan to seek death had failed again, and he had stumbled into a mess. He really had no one to complain to. Bitter wine went down his throat, aching his heart; wine entering his sorrowful guts only deepened his gloom.
Looking at the Star Lord token on the table, Yi Feng was depressed to the extreme.
Failing to find death was one thing, but to have become the Star Lord... the way things had developed was just utterly absurd. If an outsider heard about it, they might think he had seized the Star Lord position from someone else...
Fortunately, no one recognized this stupid token, or else his 'fame' would have spread far and wide by now.
He couldn't even figure out how to die, and out of nowhere, he got saddled with the responsibility for an entire planet.
Where's the justice in that!
The more he thought about it, the more frustrated he became. Yi Feng downed three bowls of wine in a row!
Right in the midst of this annoyance, the Star Lord token suddenly started flashing incessantly, emitting waves of energy. It was even more eye-catching than the spinning sign of a barbershop from his past life, drawing the attention of many patrons.
Before long.
Most of the drinkers on the second floor were looking over curiously, their faces full of gossipy interest.
Yi Feng felt a headache coming on from all the stares and lost his mood for drinking.
He hurriedly put away the damned token and slipped out of the tavern.
But just after he left the small town, the token kept flashing! Vibration, ringing tones, and tacky light effects—more absurd than an Ultraman running out of power—it was incredibly conspicuous.
The most infuriating thing was, this stupid token hadn't been blood-bound, so he couldn't even hide it properly!
Yi Feng held the token, the longer he looked at it, the angrier he got. All his pent-up frustration burst out on the spot!
"Dammit!"
"I'm already unlucky enough getting saddled with this mess, and you keep flashing non-stop, just begging to annoy me, right?! What kind of stupid token are you, flashing for the hell of it!"
Gnashing his teeth in anger, Yi Feng threw the token on the ground, drew his greatsword, and chopped down!
"Crunch!"
A crisp sound, and the token finally fell silent.
Yi Feng's anger subsided a little, and he vented quite a bit of his earlier gloom. He then continued his leisurely stroll towards the uncertain future ahead.
At the same time.
The two envoys standing calmly in the sky above the floating island suddenly frowned.
"What's going on?"
"This Lan Star's Star Lord hasn't replied for a long time, and now even the energy fluctuation from the Star Lord token has been cut off!"
"This person is truly audacious! To avoid us, he dares to destroy the token?!"
"A mere Star Lord, showing no respect for his superiors. This is rebellion!"
In just a few words, the two Child Star Envoys wore expressions of anger.
The younger envoy was almost beside himself with rage, as if he had suffered a great insult. His eyes held a cold killing intent, and his entire body radiated a terrifying chill.
The older man also had a dark expression, immediately gritting his teeth to speak.
"Bastard!"
"He's just the Star Lord of a measly mortal star, yet he dares to evade us like this, even daring to destroy the Star Lord token! If we don't teach this trash a lesson, our great undertaking will surely be affected in the future!"
"If all the ants on Lan Star follow his example, what authority will we have left?!"
"Today, we will use him to make an example!"
Hearing this, the younger envoy nodded grimly.
"Right. We must kill one to warn a hundred with such an ant!"
"Use the token immediately to trace the residual energy of the Star Lord token. Let's go kill this person now, lest he escapes and ruins our important business!"
The two exchanged a heavy look and immediately tore through the void, vanishing.
In just a few breaths.
Using their Child Star tokens to trace the energy, the two appeared outside the small town.
Witnessing the token fragments on the ground, fury blazed in their eyes!
They spread their divine sense to investigate. After a few moments, excluding other passing ants, they quickly locked onto Yi Feng, walking alone a thousand miles away. They traversed a thousand miles in a step, instantly blocking his path!
"You, are you the Star Lord of Lan Star?!"
The two who had suddenly appeared asked haughtily.
Yi Feng frowned, instinctively replying.
"I am not."
"I don't have it."
"You're talking nonsense!"
Even without knowing the identities of the newcomers, Yi Feng absolutely refused to accept any damned Star Lord mess. His opening was a decisive soul-crushing triple denial.
Unexpectedly, the two heard this and sneered, their eyes filled with disdain.
"Hmph!"
"Now you're scared? Too late!"
"We are Envoys of the Child Star's Mandate. Your failure to reply is a grave offense of disrespect! And you dared to destroy the Star Lord token, truly showing no respect for your superiors. This is the capital crime of treason!"
"We traced the energy of the Star Lord token here. How dare you quibble!"
The younger cloaked man wore a venomous expression, a cold-gleaming longsword appearing in his hand!
"Worthless trash who doesn't know his place! You dare to evade us, and now you dare to deny it to our faces? Prepare to die!"
Hearing this, Yi Feng finally understood the general reason.
Seeing the murderous intent on their faces, his own expression darkened.
"So you're the ones who sent the message? Because of a trivial matter like me not replying, you want to kill me?"
The two stepped forward with cold eyes, killing intent boiling around them!
"Trivial matter?!"
"Mere ant, at death's door and still unrepentant? Give up your life!"
Their shouts echoed. The two snarling, cloaked figures charged forward without another word, already pinning the label of a capital crime on Yi Feng, intent on executing him on the spot.
Seeing their aggressive momentum, Yi Feng's temper also flared.
Where did these two arrogant guys come from? Over a trifling matter, they want to take a life? Do they really think everyone has to let them do as they please? Spoiled brats!
He was already pissed off about the lousy title of Star Lord.
Meeting such unreasonable fellows, there was only one outcome: a fight to the death!
Yi Feng wasn't the type to let anyone bully him. He immediately drew his greatsword and met them head-on!
"Crunch! Crunch!"
Two crisp sounds later.
The two men, faces frozen in shock, fell to the ground unwillingly, their eyes wide open in death.
Yi Feng rolled his eyes in exasperation, cursing under his breath as he sheathed his greatsword.
"Damn it..."
"With skills this pathetic, you still swagger around looking down on everyone, barking about killing and fighting as if you're so impressive. Who gave you the confidence?"
Watching the two insignificant weaklings breathe their last, Yi Feng could only shake his head helplessly.
This Lan Star was truly disappointing.
The strongest Star Lord had shirked responsibility and fled, the Sea Lord was nowhere to be found, and now these two so-called Sub-Star Envoys who suddenly showed up looking for trouble were pathetically weak, not even worth a glance. The others here were probably even worse. Where was he supposed to go in the future to carry out his grand plan of seeking death?
Gazing into the endless sky, Yi Feng fell into confusion.
He stood there blankly for a long time before his mood finally settled. A sense of utter pointlessness washed over him, and with no clear path ahead, he suddenly remembered he hadn't paid for his wine earlier. He had no choice but to head back to the small town.
Who would have thought that right as he reached the tavern's entrance, he ran into Gui Wanhai.
