Zhou Heng truly wanted to unleash his fury and kill this woman with a single sword strike; her Initial Separation Realm cultivation level was not even worth considering in his eyes!
However, with Nangong Hong nearby, it was impossible for him to succeed, and taking action would be tantamount to turning against Cold Blue Country, a trouble he currently did not wish to invite. Of course, if an opportunity arose, he wouldn't mind stealthily snuffing out the life of this malicious woman.
"There's a reason you have been entrusted with this mission!" Nangong Hong gestured with his hand, signaling the Orchid Concubine not to interrupt, "The Liu Yue you're tasked to rescue is a person of great importance to our sect!"
"The reason you're acting alone is due to an unwritten rule among the nations, which stipulates that martial artists above the Land Cleaving Realm must declare themselves before entering another country, or else it will be considered an invasion and war may ensue!"
