Unable to retort to Beiming, Dongfang Ziyue's delicate face grew even colder. The veins on her jade hand gripping the Green Phoenix Sword bulged, and she said in a deep voice, "Hmph, I suppose the two of you are here under the orders of White Sky Venerable, just like Xiluo!"
Knowing well the fate of Xiluo, Dongfang Ziyue spoke these words merely as an opportunity to stall for time. Unnoticed, she quietly hid her jade hand behind her back, letting a trace of Elemental Power surge into the token Dongka had given her.
The Human Sacrifice Tower was quite a distance from Dongka's residence. What Dongfang Ziyue needed to do now was to hold off these two until her master and Lin Zifeng arrived, making Beiming and his companion regret their actions!
However, just as Dongfang Ziyue's voice fell, Beiming saw through her intentions. He let out a cold laugh and signaled Nantong by his side, who nodded and drew a short sword hidden in his sleeve, lunging towards Dongfang Ziyue.
