Chapter 2234 - 2223: White Sky Venerable

Sighing deeply, Lin Zifeng turned away, deciding not to take another glance. Just as he was about to wake up the unconscious Dongfang Ziyue, the ancient wooden door creaked open, and Dongka, clad in white robes, slowly walked in.

As soon as he entered, Dongka’s gaze landed on Dongfang Ziyue, who was leaning against the stone wall, her delicate figure drawing his concern. He gasped and hurriedly rushed forward.

"Ziyue, are you alright? Lin Zifeng, what on earth happened here?"

Having just arrived at the Human Sacrifice Tower, Dongka was completely in the dark about what had transpired. Seeing the numerous corpses on the ground, he feared that Dongfang Ziyue might have already...

"It’s nothing. Your beloved disciple has only fainted."

Lin Zifeng nonchalantly waved his hand, narrating to Dongka the series of events that had occurred in the Human Sacrifice Tower. Finally, Dongka exhaled a sigh of relief, the worry on his handsome face dissipating.

After a moment of silence, Dongka, still uneasy, asked, "Lin Zifeng, are you sure about this? You’ve destroyed the Human Sacrifice Tower? If..."

Waving his hand again, Lin Zifeng calmly explained, "Even if it’s not destroyed, what can they do once I leave with Dongfang Ziyue? We mustn’t delay; let’s leave here first."

Nodding, Lin Zifeng woke Dongfang Ziyue. As soon as she opened her beautiful eyes, she threw herself into Dongka’s embrace, her voice tinged with sobs, "Master, it’s good that you’re here. Just now, it was really..."

"Alright, Ziyue, the Human Sacrifice Tower has been destroyed now. It’s all fine, and the shackles that bound you are gone too."

At this moment, Dongka’s face showed delighted relief as he comforted her. The master and disciple’s touching moment made Lin Zifeng, who was standing aside, secretly click his tongue in annoyance. He let out a displeased cold snort, pretending to be angry, "Miss Dongfang, how quickly you forget. Was it not someone who just saved you from Beiming?"

Reminded by Lin Zifeng, Dongfang Ziyue suddenly remembered the recent battle and how he had helped her tremendously. It would be unreasonable not to be grateful. Her previously indifferent face brightened with a genuine smile as she lunged toward Lin Zifeng, softly saying, "Lin Zifeng, thank you so much this time..."

Feeling her soft bosom pressing against him, Lin Zifeng grimaced in pain, his recently healed old wounds seeming to reopen...

Without showing any emotion, Lin Zifeng gently pushed Dongfang Ziyue away, playfully tilting his head and grinning, "No need to be so courteous. If Miss Dongfang truly wishes to thank me, offering yourself wouldn’t be too much."

Hearing these words, Dongfang Ziyue’s expression froze. Her joyous smile turning frosty, she thought furiously: This guy just got praised by me a moment ago and now he’s getting carried away!

Her eyes shifting, Dongfang Ziyue seemed to think of something, a mischievous smile blooming on her charming face, "Lin Zifeng, didn’t you just promise me that we’d deal with this and then allow me to pinch you later?"

Before she finished speaking, Dongfang Ziyue’s expression turned cold, and she reached out with her jade-like hand, quickly pinching Lin Zifeng’s waist.

"Ah... let go!"

Little did Lin Zifeng expect that Dongfang Ziyue, who was at the First Layer Heaven of the Sub-Saint Realm, could pinch with such swift speed. Moreover, he felt as if the flesh on his waist was nearly being pinched off by her.

After pleading her for a long while, Dongfang Ziyue reluctantly released her grip, warning Lin Zifeng that if he dared to act this way again, she would crush his third leg!

Thinking silently to himself that a woman’s heart can be the most venomous, Lin Zifeng straightened his expression, speaking seriously, "We can’t delay. The destruction of the Human Sacrifice Tower is a major event that the Five Supreme Venerables will definitely notice. We’ll head to the northern woods and set up the Transmission Array to leave quickly."

Hearing his words, their expressions turned serious, and they nodded. The trio moved quickly toward the distant forest.

Little did they know, the northern woods, ten miles away, appeared peaceful on the surface, but hidden within was an ambush of death!

When Lin Zifeng and his companions took the Myriad Tribulations Thunder Shadow Stone from the wilderness, White Sky Venerable had already checked the bodies of those Blood Shadow Dark Guards.

Because Dongka’s sword was as thin as a cicada’s wing, a rather unique feature, White Sky Venerable immediately suspected it was Dongka’s doing.

He did not take action at the time due to apprehensions about Lin Zifeng’s unfathomable strength and because White Sky Venerable’s realm was near a breakthrough!

Nevertheless, the cunning White Sky Venerable could deduce that with the Human Sacrifice Ritual approaching, incidents would definitely arise, and sending Xiluo to his death was just a part of his plan.

The moment when Lin Zifeng destroyed the Red Sword, the Five Supreme Venerables could feel the disturbance. Ordinary people would be oblivious to the secret of the Human Sacrifice Tower, but as near-top figures of the Beiyao Ancient Clan’s Pyramid, how could they not realize?

On one hand, the Five Supreme Venerables were shocked by Lin Zifeng’s power. On the other hand, Lin Zifeng had essentially destroyed the Human Sacrifice Tower right in front of them. If they didn’t hold him accountable, where would their prestige go?

So, White Sky Venerable ordered all Blood Shadow Dark Guards to hide in the forest to ambush. Once his cultivation was perfected by dusk, he would personally lead a chase to kill Lin Zifeng!

At this moment, Lin Zifeng and the others were nearing the forest, preparing to set up the Transmission Array.

Gazing at the lush greenery ahead, Lin Zifeng couldn’t help but show a delighted grin, thinking that he was about to leave this accursed place, elation filled his heart.

But he never expected the solemn tone of Mu Ruoyun in his mind would instantly freeze the joy at his lips: "Be careful. In the forest ahead, there are no less than a thousand enemies, though their realms aren’t high. The only threats are just five."

As soon as these words landed, Lin Zifeng halted, pulling Dongka and Dongfang Ziyue beside him, and asked gravely, "Dongka, something’s wrong with the forest. There’s an ambush; could it be that our movements have been exposed?"

Hearing this, Dongka’s face showed surprise. He held his chin in thought before speaking gravely, "It shouldn’t be. Xiluo and those who knew you were going to the Human Sacrifice Tower are all dead now. Could it be that Xiluo told White Sky Venerable about you?"

Nodding, Lin Zifeng found it plausible. Perhaps when Xiluo returned home, White Sky Venerable had already put the heat on him.

While Lin Zifeng found an explanation, he couldn’t help but feel some confusion. With such a huge commotion he caused, why hadn’t the Five Supreme Venerables acted yet?

Shaking his head, Lin Zifeng didn’t dwell on it, realizing now it seemed impossible to remain hidden and escape the Five Supreme Venerables’ scrutiny to arrange the Transmission Array. All that was left was to fight!

Thinking of this, Lin Zifeng’s slight smile resurfaced. Gazing at the dense forest before him, he couldn’t help but clench his fists, "There are no less than a thousand enemies inside, but I sensed their realms aren’t high. A swift battle is needed, for if the Five Supreme Venerables arrive, we won’t escape."
