Chapter 2229 - 2218: Breaking the Human Sacrifice Tower

Startled by Beiming’s voice full of implied power, Dongfang Ziyue couldn’t help but shiver, her consciousness wavering for a moment. Once she regained her senses, she hurriedly shook her head, clearing her mind, though her heart now felt a bit fearful towards Beiming.

"The power contained in Beiming’s words just now was even stronger than my master’s. If he wanted to kill me, it would be as easy as turning his hand!"

Upon reflecting on Beiming’s words and recalling the events during the acquisition of the inscription stone, Dongfang Ziyue finally realized that Beiming was quite apprehensive about Lin Zifeng!

At this moment, Dongfang Ziyue did not know Lin Zifeng’s current condition, but she wouldn’t be so foolish as to reveal the truth. Seeing Beiming had not yet developed the intention to kill, Dongfang Ziyue steeled her heart and replied with some derision, "I thought it was something serious, but it turns out the mighty Beiming, leader of the four lords, is actually afraid of a mere slave. It’s laughable!"

With a chuckle, Beiming showed no displeasure, calmly saying, "Dongfang Ziyue, your words are still so sharp—looks like you still have some fighting spirit. Nantong, take action!"

As soon as the words fell, Nantong nodded heavily, flicked his right hand, and the longsword in his hand painted a chilly arc in the air as it struck once more towards Dongfang Ziyue.

Faced with danger, Dongfang Ziyue silently lamented, forced to raise her blood-soaked jade hand once again, as the Green Phoenix Sword flickered with a grim sword light, engaging in battle with Nantong once more.

As the confrontation intensified, Dongfang Ziyue’s defeat became more apparent. While resenting Beiming and Nantong, she couldn’t help but feel a bit frustrated with Lin Zifeng. I’ve been bullied like this, what on earth are you doing, you fool!

Standing aside, Beiming was also full of thoughts, watching the two fight near the bloodstained Blood Pond, his worry visible between his brows.

At this moment, Lin Zifeng, who was being thought of with different intentions by everyone, finally slowly opened his eyes. As soon as he moved, pain creased his face.

"Ouch... Ruoyun was always there before, seldom have I suffered such severe injuries. Now the pain... it’s truly excruciating."

Sighing, Lin Zifeng furrowed his brows tightly, struggling to sit up, breathing deeply looking at the wrecked chamber.

Thankfully, he had fainted, and no further mishaps occurred. Otherwise, with no consciousness and Ruoyun unable to act, he would have been stuck in this damn place.

"Ruoyun, can you help me treat these wounds? They hurt so much."

Lin Zifeng spoke to himself, remaining silent for a long time before Mu Ruoyun responded, discontented, "Hey, what do you mean by that? Don’t tell me this girl didn’t help you? With such severe injuries, you didn’t bleed to death, you’d better thank this girl!"

Lin Zifeng was taken aback, silently recalling the scene when he fought with the Red Sword, covered in heavy injuries, and after he fainted, his wounds still oozing blood...

Suddenly enlightened, Lin Zifeng joyfully said, "Ruoyun, does this mean your ability has recovered?"

With a cold snort, Mu Ruoyun grumbled, "Hmph, always thinking about having this girl take care of you, how come I’m stuck with a guy like you!"

Switching her tone, Mu Ruoyun continued seriously, "Alright, enough joking with you, except for Divine Power, everything else can still be used. It’s just that your injuries are too severe to recover quickly."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zifeng finally felt relieved, "In that case, hurry up and use the Transmission Array to leave this forsaken place; Dongfang Ziyue must be very anxious."

But unexpectedly, Lin Zifeng’s suggestion received no response, just like dropping a stone into the ocean. After a long silence, Mu Ruoyun helplessly explained, "The Red Sword you just destroyed was the formation’s core supporting the Human Sacrifice Tower. Now the core is gone, and the formation lacks energy support, making it impossible to operate."

With a grim face, Lin Zifeng pondered strangely, his right hand supporting his chin.

Destroying the Red Sword... meant destroying the Human Sacrifice Tower’s formation, so now the Human Sacrifice Tower is just a pile of stones?

With a grin, Lin Zifeng was relieved, feeling accomplished for fulfilling his promise to Dongfang Ziyue.

But soon, worry returned to his face; with the Human Sacrifice Tower destroyed, if the Five Supreme Venerables came upon hearing the news, he’d be doomed.

Especially the White Sky Venerable, he would want to kill him no matter the reason...

"Ruoyun, I remember you said you’ve slightly improved the fragment of the Myriad Tribulations Thunder Shadow Stone, allowing access between the Demon Beast Forest and the Beiyao Ancient Clan, right?"

Assured by Mu Ruoyun, Lin Zifeng relaxed, asking deeply, "In that case, can the first floor of the Human Sacrifice Tower be activated?"

Not hesitating at all, Mu Ruoyun directly denied, "Impossible! After you destroyed the Red Sword, the formation was damaged, and its contained Time Order power burst out. If a Transmission Array is activated there, even this girl can’t guarantee a safe teleport to the Demon Beast Forest."

Lin Zifeng nodded helplessly but was not disappointed, understanding that without Mu Ruoyun’s help, he and Dongfang Ziyue might have had no retreat.

"Anyway, let’s leave here first, Ruoyun, do you have a way to reactivate the Transmission Array in the Human Sacrifice Tower?"

Questioning in his heart, Lin Zifeng stood up, stretched a bit. Despite the excruciating pain from every part of his body, he didn’t frown even once.

Unexpectedly, Mu Ruoyun replied displeased, "You think forcibly operating a Transmission Array is so easy? This was set by the Beiyao Old Ancestor. With the formation disrupted, this girl can’t handle it now; better start digging it yourself."

Shaking his head, Lin Zifeng realized he was too dependent on the Magic Bracelet. Without Ruoyun’s help, he would be truly helpless in dire situations.

"No, I promised earlier that unless it’s a life-or-death moment, Ruoyun shouldn’t help. Otherwise, I won’t be able to become stronger, and facing my Heart Demon eventually, what chance do I have?"

Clenching his fists tightly, Lin Zifeng’s aura grew sharp once again, smiling lightly looking at the stone slabs beneath his feet. These mere pile of stones can’t withstand my punches!

Without worrying about Elemental Power, Lin Zifeng carelessly raised his palm, pure golden light just emerging when Mu Ruoyun’s urgent voice stumbled him, "Lord Zifeng, something’s wrong; this girl just noticed beneath your feet, the first floor of the Human Sacrifice Tower, where Dongfang Ziyue is fighting fiercely. If you want to dig, do it quickly."

What? A fight? Could it be that experts from the Beiyao Ancient Clan have arrived, or have they discovered me? Alarmed those old immortals?
