I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God

Chapter 625

"Absolutely no mistake, it's definitely a Human Immortal!"

Bai Fan declared firmly, "I've had close contact with them, and they're certainly not high-level cultivators hiding their true powers."

"Now that's strange!"

Zeng Rentu couldn't help but ponder, then asked, "Does she have any other trump cards, or perhaps some Immortal Artifacts?"

"Well, even if she had trump cards or Immortal Artifacts, she wouldn't tell me!" Bai Fan replied.

"Let me rephrase that - have you noticed anything on her that you hadn't seen before?" Zeng Rentu inquired.

This reminder made Bai Fan's eyes light up, and he said, "Yes!"

"What is it?"

Zeng Rentu asked eagerly.

"?"

"??"

Zeng Rentu's face was full of question marks. "Pots, bowls, ladles, and basins?"

"Yes, Lord Governor, exactly those. Recently, I've seen Jiang Zhi wiping and examining them every day!" Bai Fan explained.

"Pots, bowls, ladles, and basins..."

Zeng Rentu muttered to himself.

He was completely baffled by this information.

"Did you sense anything unusual about these items - any auras or energy fluctuations?" Zeng Rentu speculated, "Could it be possible that these kitchen utensils are just a disguise for some kind of divine weapons?"

"Impossible!"

"Absolutely impossible!"

Bai Fan stated firmly, "Once when she took out these items to study them, I was standing right behind her, observing carefully. A bowl was just a bowl, and a basin was just a basin!"

"Are you certain?"

"Absolutely!"

Hearing this, Zeng Rentu showed signs of relief.

He had followed Jiang Zhi for many years, and even when she was imprisoned on Dark Shadow Island, he had never underestimated her.

Especially when he learned of her return, he had been constantly wary of any trump cards she might have.

But now, looking at the situation...

He had worried for nothing.

How could someone just released from Dark Shadow Island possibly have any major trump cards?

Perhaps...

She was just blinded by hatred.

"In that case, let Jiang Zhi come at me!" Zeng Rentu sneered.

"My Lord was overthinking it. With the Lotus Lady and the Barren Continent Lord still in the Eternal Immortal Continent, how could Jiang Zhi possibly harm you?" ???O?B??

"Moreover, my Lord now possesses a mid-grade Immortal Artifact. Jiang Zhi can't even be mentioned in the same breath as you anymore," Bai Fan flattered.

These words...

Made Zeng Rentu lift his head slightly.

He was extremely pleased.

"Very good, you've done well this time. When you return, there will be a great reward waiting for you!"

Zeng Rentu praised.

"Yes, thank you, Lord Governor. I will continue to work hard, and if there's any news, I'll notify you immediately!"

...

Soon after.

Jiang Zhi and her group boarded a flying ship, setting off for the Eternal Immortal Continent.

While Jiang Zhi was busy with her personal matters, Gong Chen bid farewell to Yi Feng and left Dark Shadow Island on his own.

He then rushed towards Xi Ning Continent, one of the Middle Three Continents.

Before being imprisoned on Dark Shadow Island, he had been an elder in a sect there.

"I'm finally back!"

Gong Chen looked up at the mountain gate before him, filled with emotion.

He had never imagined...

That he would one day return to this place.

He entered the sect quietly without drawing attention and made his way inside.

In a side hall.

Noisy voices could be heard.

"You unfilial son!"

"Don't you have any self-awareness about what you're capable of?"

"You made a one-year promise? What nonsense!"

A middle-aged man was berating a young man with an angry face.

"Father, that woman came to break off the engagement herself. How could I endure such humiliation?" the young man shouted indignantly.

"And what can you do even if you can't endure it?" the man roared in anger. "How will you defeat her in a year?"

"When the time comes, won't it be even more embarrassing to be defeated by her in front of everyone before the engagement is broken?"

Hearing this...

The young man's eyes turned bloodshot, and he clenched his fists tightly, punching the wall repeatedly to vent his frustration.

Seeing this...

The man felt somewhat heartbroken and hurried to console the young man.

"Sigh, it's all my fault for not being able to help with your cultivation problems, which led to this..." the man sighed, suddenly appearing several years older.

"Father, I'm the useless one!"

The young man gritted his teeth in self-reproach.

"Heh, what's all this noise about? Making such a fuss!"

Just then, an abrupt voice came from outside the door.
