Chapter 2205 - 2194: Loyal Unto Death—Once Is Enough

At the same time, in a wide mountain cave, stone fragments slowly drifted down, and on a blue robe, Xiluo’s face bore a few traces of coldness. Looking at the people bowing down beside him, he said in a low voice, "Even if I, the Lord, do not mention it, you all know how important the task of watching over the Human Sacrifice Tower is, right?"

"Rest assured, Lord Xiluo, we are determined to die ten thousand deaths without regret!"

The unified response from the crowd entered Xiluo’s ears, and a sinister smile crept onto his cold face. Die ten thousand deaths without regret? Xiluo didn’t need that; for him, dying once was more than enough!

Yesterday, White Sky Venerable summoned him to discuss matters and told Xiluo that for the sake of secrecy, none of the people who followed him could be left alive afterwards!

Looking at his subordinates who had followed him for many years, Xiluo felt a bit sentimental, but then he thought of the appreciation from White Sky Venerable after this event—his subordinates’ lives were not important at all!

Without these subordinates, I, Xiluo, can train more. But such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity—if missed, might not come again.

Thinking of this, he waved his long sleeve, shouted loudly, and walked at the forefront of the crowd, heading, like Lin Zifeng, towards the most mysterious Human Sacrifice Tower of the Beiyao Ancient Clan.

On the road, under the moonlight, Xiluo’s silhouette stretched into a thin shadow. Perhaps he did not yet realize that the Human Sacrifice Tower he saw as an opportunity would become his burial ground this time!

As night deepened, Lin Zifeng and his companion moved swiftly. Within less than two hours, they had left the Beiyao Ancient Clan, and the towering, mysterious stone tower was getting closer...

"By the way, Miss Dongfang, you still haven’t told me what secret this Human Sacrifice Tower holds? If it’s just a bunch of stones piled together, wouldn’t it turn to rubble with a touch of my Elemental Power?" Walking alongside the cold-faced beauty, Lin Zifeng felt a bit bored. He wanted to tease Mu Ruoyun, but she completely ignored him.

As they approached the Human Sacrifice Tower, Lin Zifeng found a topic to break the long silence, speaking up first.

Dongfang Ziyue listened, her cold face remaining unchanged, and said indifferently, "The Human Sacrifice Tower has always been considered a forbidden area of the Beiyao Ancient Clan. I am not aware of the secrets within. In any case, you’ll know once you go in. If you’re afraid now, just turn back."

Afraid? To be honest, Lin Zifeng did have some trepidation about the Five Supreme Venerables, who were mysterious and had never shown themselves, but he always felt that since Meng Bingyun was the predecessor’s daughter, there had to be clues in the Human Sacrifice Tower.

Thinking about it, Lin Zifeng chuckled lightly and said, "Afraid? Just a mere Human Sacrifice Tower, how could it do anything to me? How about I give it a slap and see how sturdy it is?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Zifeng made a move to raise his hand, and golden light surged from it. Seeing this, Dongfang Ziyue hastily stopped him, "Are you crazy!? Not to mention if there’s any ambush around the Human Sacrifice Tower, don’t you fear attracting the Five Supreme Venerables?"

Lin Zifeng didn’t respond to Dongfang Ziyue’s words, simply staring at his raised right hand in astonishment and confusion...

"Hey, what’s wrong with you? Did you hear what I said?" Seeing that Lin Zifeng did not respond to her, Dongfang Ziyue’s face darkened. She said irritably while reaching out her jade-like hand to shake the stunned Lin Zifeng.

After a long pause, Lin Zifeng slowly opened his mouth, his tone calm, but unable to completely hide his inner shock: "Did you notice just now, that golden light was a bit brighter than before..."

As he spoke, Dongfang Ziyue heard the seriousness in Lin Zifeng’s words and nodded thoughtfully, her fair jade-like face furrowing in recollection of the recent scene.

When Lin Zifeng had just surged his Elemental Power, it seemed he was joking with her. However, under the night sky, it was not hard to notice that the Elemental Power he originally released was a pale gold, but the recent red gold gleamed on her face and felt somewhat dazzling...

"It seems so, but what does it indicate?" Dongfang Ziyue nodded affirmatively, asking indifferently.

Seeing Dongfang Ziyue also so sure, Lin Zifeng couldn’t help but burst into laughter, looked playfully at Dongfang Ziyue by his side, and lamented, "It’s not your fault for having a low realm."

After speaking, he laughed uproariously, striding forward, while behind him, Dongfang Ziyue snorted coldly. She stomped heavily on the stone slabs before chasing after Lin Zifeng, thinking secretly, "Low realm, so what? A Saint Realm, yet you’re so arrogant."

Lin Zifeng didn’t hear Dongfang Ziyue’s inner monologue. He secretly gathered Elemental Power, letting another golden light rise in his hand. Seeing this, Lin Zifeng was taken aback, "Sure enough, not only is the color of the Elemental Power changed, but the power contained within is far denser than before!"

Thanks to the Magic Bracelet’s assistance, Lin Zifeng’s Elemental Power could be considered inexhaustible, but due to his own realm, the power of Elemental Power unleashed was not weak, though not exceptionally strong either. At least compared to true Thunder Tribulation Saints, there was still a gap.

But just now, by a playful gesture, he astonishingly discovered that his Elemental Power had become even stronger!

Additionally, his control over Elemental Power had not diminished in the slightest!

At Lin Zifeng’s level, his Elemental Power, though not infinitely deep, was at least vast as the sea.

In battle, the strength of Elemental Power often determined life and death. If his Elemental Power attack was stronger than the opponent’s, he could forcibly shatter their attack, and continue to threaten their life!

Due to his diligent practice combined with the Magic Bracelet’s effect, Lin Zifeng’s Elemental Power used to be on par with Saint Middle Stage experts, but now, observing quietly, he found the power contained within the golden light in his hand almost reached the Saint Peak level!

With inexhaustible Saint Peak Elemental Power, this enhancement filled Lin Zifeng’s eyes with even more confidence, secretly thinking, "Who would have thought that awakening Mu Ruoyun would bring such a reminder? This time, even if I face a Saint Peak enemy, it won’t be an issue!"

Not only that, but Lin Zifeng also concluded that as long as the Thunder Tribulation expert among the Five Supreme Venerables hadn’t reached the Second Level of Thunder Tribulation, he was ready to fight!

Lin Zifeng secretly chuckled to himself, but then heard Mu Ruoyun’s sweet yet disdainful voice echoing in his mind, "Tch, just a small power boost, and you’re getting cocky. Frog in a well!"

"Yes, yes... I’m the frog in a well, fine. How can I compare to you powerhouses?" Bantering with the mischievous Mu Ruoyun was something Lin Zifeng was more than willing to do, so he retorted indignantly, finding fun and joy in the exchange.
