I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God

Chapter 537

Cloud Top Empire.

The Destroyer of the World and the Cloud Top King sat beside the Fortune Immortal Pillar, awaiting news from the Wu Tian Empire.

For them,

Subduing the ruler of a small empire was a piece of cake.

There wouldn't be any surprises.

But they had been waiting for two whole days.

Two days had passed, and their two dispatched individuals hadn't sent back any messages.

"Could something have happened to those two?" the Destroyer of the World asked with concern.

"Your worries are unfounded," the Cloud Top King said with a relaxed expression. "The Cloud Top Empire stands in the Lingxu Realm, and countless nations pay tribute. No one dares to harm them."

"Even if they encounter danger, these vassal states will spare no effort to protect them."

"Because if the envoys sent by the Cloud Top Empire were to die, no one would bear that responsibility!"

His voice was filled with a strong sense of confidence.

Such was the prestige of the Cloud Top Empire in the Lingxu Realm.

"Very well," the Destroyer of the World said, visibly relieved. It seemed he had indeed been overly anxious.

However,

There was urgent news from outside the palace, as voices came to report.

Furrowing his brow, the Cloud Top King asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?"

"Your Majesty, Lord Destroyer, this morning someone discovered two shrouded corpses hanging on the city walls of our imperial city!"

The messenger knelt down and respectfully reported.

"What? Shrouded corpses?"

"Who would dare to do such a brazen act?"

The Cloud Top King's face immediately turned furious.

Since the establishment of the Cloud Top Empire, no one had ever caused trouble in the imperial city, let alone hanging shrouded corpses on the city walls.

It was a direct challenge to the authority of the Cloud Top Empire!

Soon, the enraged Cloud Top King and the others rushed to the base of the city walls.

At this moment, the city walls had already been sealed off.

Although in this cultivation world, two deaths didn't amount to much, hanging dead bodies on the city walls of the Cloud Top Empire was an entirely different matter.

Now, the two shrouded corpses were still hanging on the city walls.

Looking up, they saw that the shrouded corpses were soaked in blood, with droplets of blackened blood falling from time to time.

Upon seeing this scene,

The Cloud Top King's fury reached its peak.

With a wave of his hand, the two shrouded corpses fell to the ground.

Two subordinates quickly stepped forward and opened the shrouded corpses.

A pile of minced flesh.

There was no trace of a human form, nor could one discern their appearance.

It was provocation.josei

Naked provocation.

"I command you to not only find the identities of these two individuals within a day but also to investigate who is responsible for all this!" The Cloud Top King's face turned dark, giving immediate orders.

After the orders were given, he and the Destroyer of the World returned to the palace.

"There's no need to get so angry about such matters; let our subordinates handle it," the Destroyer of the World said with some displeasure after sitting down. "For us, the Fortune Immortal Pillar is the crucial matter."

Upon hearing this,

The Cloud Top King nodded with a touch of shame.

Indeed,

There was no need for him to get so angry about this matter.

It was just some ignorant people causing trouble.

After all, they had more important things to do.

Thinking of this, the anger on the Cloud Top King's face also dissipated, and he became less concerned about the shrouded corpses.

As the Destroyer of the World said, it was best to leave it to their subordinates to handle.

"Report!"

"Reporting to the King, the identities of the two individuals have been uncovered."

At this moment, a subordinate came to report.

However...

Just as the subordinate was about to speak, the Cloud Top King opened his eyes and waved his hand, interrupting the subordinate. He then said in a calm tone, "You should report this matter to the Prime Minister, no need to tell me any further."

Although he was initially somewhat angry, eager to know the results immediately, the mention of the Fortune Immortal Pillar had made him completely indifferent to the matter. His thoughts were entirely focused on the pillar of fortune.

As for the Destroyer of the World by his side, he hadn't even opened his eyes. After all, he had no interest whatsoever in the identities of the two individuals.

"But, Your Majesty, the identities of these two individuals are of great significance..."

The subordinate said with a troubled expression.

A hint of impatience flashed across the Cloud Top King's face.

"Enough, enough. Since you've come, just tell me who these two people are and why their identities are so significant!"

After a brief pause, he responded somewhat dismissively.

"These two individuals are the two envoys sent by Your Majesty to the Wu Tian Empire!"

The subordinate knelt on the ground and cautiously conveyed his words.

"What?"

The Cloud Top King, who had just been casually responding, suddenly widened his eyes.

And the Destroyer of the World, who had previously paid no attention to the matter, also sprang up from the ground. He tightly grabbed the subordinate's neck, his voice filled with a chilling tone as he uttered each word, "What did you just say? Who did you say died?"

"Calm down, Your Majesty, calm down."

The subordinate, whose neck was being held, managed to produce a hoarse voice from his throat, tremblingly saying, "The ones who died were the two envoys sent to the Wu Tian Empire!"

"Why didn't you say so earlier?"

On the side, the Cloud Top Emperor roared.

"It was you, Your Majesty. You didn't want to know, and you told me to report it to the Prime Minister!" The subordinate mournfully replied with a sorrowful face.

"Daring to talk back, die!"

The Cloud Top King tore the person in half, standing furiously in the same spot.

"What's going on? What is happening..."

The Destroyer of the World was also in a state of unrest, yelling.

And at that moment, behind the two individuals, the Fortune Immortal Pillar emitted a fluctuation.

They turned around, their faces changing.

A sense of foreboding arose in their hearts, feeling that the Fortune Immortal Pillar was about to descend!

Without needing to investigate, they could guess with a high degree of certainty that something unexpected had happened in the Wu Tian Empire.

Moreover, it was highly likely that the two of them were killed by Wu Tian.

This meant that an Immortal Son, who could have brought them added fortune, had directly become their enemy.

"Calm down, don't panic."

"Unexpected situations are normal!"

"This Wu Tian is just a small character. Even if we become enemies, our fortune shouldn't decrease too much." The Cloud Top King reassured them.

"Yes!"

The Destroyer of the World nodded, comforting himself in the same way.

But suddenly...

With a swish.

The Fortune Immortal Pillar directly decreased by one-third.

Seeing this, the eyes of the two individuals widened, and they slumped to the ground in shock.
