Urban All-Round Master

Immediately, in the charming voice in his heart, there was a hint of shame and anger: ”How dare you call me a pervert! You just wait, the next time you enter my Illusion Realm, see how I deal with you!”

Upon hearing this, Lin Zifeng immediately recalled the nightmare in which he was bound by Mu Ruoyun’s divine power and had his ears twisted in the Illusion Realm, his body trembling as he hastily changed his tone, saying: ”I didn’t mean you, I’m just a frog at the bottom of a well with little education, Ruoyun, please don’t mind, hehe...”

But how could Lin Zifeng have expected that Mu Ruoyun’s pleasant voice in his heart would carry a heaviness that gave him a sense of crisis: ”Ahead... Such a dense aura of death, what terrifying existence is in there...”

Mu Ruoyun’s words were like a thunderclap on flat ground, causing Lin Zifeng to stumble in shock, and he looked at the Human Sacrifice Tower not far away with a gaze that grew more serious and fearful.

Under the bright moonlight, the towering Human Sacrifice Tower appeared hazy and unreal, but it stood alone in the wasteland, remarkably prominent.

Raising an eyebrow, Lin Zifeng secretly thought that Mu Ruoyun’s earlier words might have been the signal of danger the Magic Bracelet had previously given him. To make even Mu Ruoyun somewhat apprehensive, this Human Sacrifice Tower was definitely not as simple as it seemed!

While pondering inwardly, Lin Zifeng’s pace did not slow down at all. Shortly thereafter, with his keen vision, Lin Zifeng could see the marks left by time on the tower’s body, and as he sniffed lightly, his previously tightly knitted brows furrowed even more.

The air... The smell of blood is so strong!

Lin Zifeng saw that even Dongfang Ziyue’s expression seemed somewhat off. Exchanging a glance, the heavy scent of blood made images of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood flash in their minds...

They looked at each other in silence for a long time before Lin Zifeng spoke with a heavy tone: ”Do you really know nothing about the Human Sacrifice Tower? Has your master Dongka never been inside?”

Truthfully, the current feeling is very bad. Lin Zifeng had already sensed some dangerous existence. If there truly is an unknown danger ahead, then it would not be pleasant for them, and they might even lose their lives here, having to be cautious.

Supporting her smooth and jade-like pink cheek with her fair hand, Dongfang Ziyue looked particularly beautiful while pondering, but Lin Zifeng had no intention of appreciating it right now, waiting expectantly for her to speak.

”Oh, I remember! When I was little, I went with my master to sweep the tomb of his master, who was my grandmaster, and I heard them mention something about the Human Sacrifice Tower!”

Upon hearing this, Lin Zifeng’s expression changed with surprise, and he urgently said: ”What did Dongka say at that time? Quickly, tell me.”

Turning her graceful body, Dongfang Ziyue faced away from the Human Sacrifice Tower as if afraid, saying: ”Because of the clan’s rules, the order of guarding the Human Sacrifice Tower is arranged according to the strength of the four Lords.”

”The last time there was a human sacrifice, it was my grandmaster, ranked second, Dong Qing, who went to guard it.”

As Dongfang Ziyue spoke up to this point and was about to continue explaining, Lin Zifeng suddenly exclaimed: ”What did you say? The last human sacrifice... Was it my mother who was sacrificed?!”

After hesitating for a moment, Dongfang Ziyue nodded solemnly, seeing the worry rise on Lin Zifeng’s face, which was already filled with shock, she hurriedly advised: ”Don’t panic yet, let me finish. Because the human sacrifice is such a major event that occurs once every century, all Five Supreme Venerables must be present on the day. But I heard that after they came out of the Human Sacrifice Tower, they were extremely furious and even killed a few clan members who were close to Meng Bingyun before going into seclusion for cultivation.”

Hearing this, Lin Zifeng’s previously grave expression softened a little, and then he lowered his head, squinting his eyes as he pondered.

Why would the Five Supreme Venerables vent their anger on people close to Meng Bingyun right after leaving the Human Sacrifice Tower? And they acted so ruthlessly, taking lives directly...

”And then? What happened afterward?” The mystery in Lin Zifeng’s heart unraveled slightly, and he was eager to know the answer, urging Dongfang Ziyue to continue.

Rubbing her fair forehead, Dongfang Ziyue continued: ”Later, this matter faded away, but what my master didn’t expect was that not long after that, my grandmaster suddenly passed away one night; later, the clan doctors said it was just a heart problem and said nothing more.”

”It’s truly puzzling. My grandmaster’s power at the time had already reached the Ninth Layer of the Sub-Saint Realm. Although he was older, his health was absolutely fine, so why would he suddenly die?”

Thinking of this, Dongfang Ziyue couldn’t help but lower her head in contemplation, while beside her, Lin Zifeng flashed a slight, mischievous smile on his chiseled face.

A heart problem? Ridiculous! How could a master who has one foot in the Saint Realm die of illness!?

If Lin Zifeng’s guess was correct, Dongfang Ziyue’s grandmaster had been secretly killed by the Five Supreme Venerables!

Coming out of the Human Sacrifice Tower angry, killing Meng Bingyun’s friends to vent, and then Dong Qing’s sudden death, Lin Zifeng was convinced that Meng Bingyun, possibly his mother’s past self, had definitely not been sacrificed!

Otherwise, these incidents wouldn’t have happened. Killing Dong Qing was likely because the Five Supreme Venerables thought he had failed to guard properly, leading to such a vicious act!

Sighing in relief, Lin Zifeng reassured himself internally. Regardless of whether that Meng Bingyun was his mother, as long as she was still alive, it was definitely a good thing.

”What to do, should we tell Dongka about Dong Qing’s matter, given that his master’s death by others creates a feud as deep as the sea...”

After deliberating for a while, Lin Zifeng decided not to reveal this issue for now since he was about to enter this mysterious Human Sacrifice Tower. It was better to think of how to help Dongfang Ziyue resolve the matter first.

Furthermore, even if he told Dongka, knowing his temperament, he would certainly seek **** and the Five Supreme Venerables for revenge, and what different would that be from sending himself to his death?

”Let’s go, don’t think too much, no matter how terrifying this Human Sacrifice Tower is, I, Lin Zifeng, can still tread it underfoot!”

Lin Zifeng’s voice carried a sense of grandeur, dispelling Dongfang Ziyue’s concerns while also bolstering his own courage.

After all, could something that made even Mu Ruoyun afraid be so simple?

Finally, Lin Zifeng and Dongfang Ziyue’s figures, illuminated by the moonlight, cast shadows on the slightly dilapidated, dark-red eerie wooden door.

Exchanging glances, seeing Lin Zifeng’s confident smile, Dongfang Ziyue no longer hesitated and pushed forward with her jade-like hand.

”Creak...”

”Swish...”

The wooden door emitted a muffled, abrupt sound as it opened, and Lin Zifeng and Dongfang Ziyue were instantly met with a gust of cold wind. Even with their impressive cultivation, they felt a chill envelop them, making them shiver involuntarily.

”This place... Could it be haunted?”

At this moment, Dongfang Ziyue’s words, full of seriousness, left Lin Zifeng not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
