C13 Return to Village Storm

Zuo Feng gently lifted up his handsome face. In his eyes, the surroundings were no longer the same as before.

Whether it was the flowers, the trees, or the mountains in the distance, they were all so vivid, a feeling he had never experienced before.

It was as if he could distinguish the subtle differences in his surroundings. Lifting up his nose and taking a light sniff, he could actually distinguish the subtle differences in scent between the different flowers and plants amidst the thick and bloody smell.

Ye Chen's ears shook a few times, and the insects around him began to chirp. Even the faint sounds made by the beasts hundreds of feet away could be heard clearly.

At this moment, Zuo Feng felt as if his facial features had evolved. His eyes, nose, ears and even his skin was like a mirror, clearly reflecting all the subtle changes in his surroundings.

Zuo Feng could feel all the changes in his body. He was pleasantly surprised and excited. He had never felt this world to be so colorful, nor had he ever realized that the world he was in was so mysterious and moving.

"You, I know you're happy with your breakthrough, but don't put on such a slutty expression to piss us off."

Hearing Zuo Hou's words, Shen Die couldn't help but frown, it was obvious that she didn't like him putting the two of them together.

"I must have used quite a bit of time to break through."

Zuo Feng chuckled. He had long since gotten used to this good brother of his.

"That's right, your breakthrough this time actually took more than an hour. I heard that normally, only those who have broken through to the Bone Refining stage take so much time."

Zuo Feng was shocked in his heart, 'Looks like this mysterious technique is quite special. It's just that they don't have enough experience and cultivation, so I can't see the profoundness in it.'

In his heart, he had already made up his mind to try his best not to break through in front of others.

He secretly tried to use the mysterious "Nameless Art" and sure enough, another acupoint was opened while he was cultivating.

Previously, after observing the movement of the energy in the bulge on his chest, he already knew that this mysterious technique was channeled through three different meridians. It perfectly matched the three levels of body strengthening, Bone Refining, and Body Tempering.

Although he didn't know what would happen if he continued practicing, looking at the changes in his body after he woke up, he was sure that this was a rare martial art in the world.

"I almost forgot to ask, how did you two come here?"

Shen Die suddenly thought of something and asked.

Zuo Feng and Zuo Hou looked at each other, and the former didn't know where to start. After thinking for a while, Zuo Feng finally spoke.

"We lost contact with a team of hunters the day before yesterday. We were sent to investigate. "After listening to what happened to Shen Village, I'm afraid that they …"

Zuo Feng did not finish his words, but Shen Die understood what he meant. Zuo Feng's expression was slightly gloomy. Teng Li's group had probably encountered the bandits that were preparing to attack Shen Village. Perhaps they were the 'rats from the Royal Capital' that the lady had mentioned. No matter who it was, they were doomed.

"If you have nowhere else to go, why don't you follow us back to the village?"

Zuo Feng saw the contradictions in Shen Die's mood and said softly. Hearing Zuo Feng's words, Shen Die was first stunned, then she forced out a smile and said.

"I really have nowhere to go. I hope I won't bring you any trouble."

"How could there be any trouble? Our two villages are extremely close to each other." Now that you are in trouble, we should be able to help you. "

Shen Die gratefully nodded her head to express her thanks. This was the first time she had a good impression of this funny looking young man who was burning in her heart.

"Do you need to rest a bit? I think I'm quite tired from that battle."

"I say, you madman, why do you care so much about beauties?" "Don't forget, it took you an hour to break through your cultivation earlier."

Zuo Feng laughed awkwardly after hearing what Zuo Hou said, a hint of red appearing on his white face. It was indeed inappropriate for her to be so concerned about Shen Die. Thinking about it like this, she secretly looked at Shen Die, only to see her face blushing as she lowered her head and did not say anything.

"Stinky monkey, you talk too much. We should be leaving in time to get back to the village before nightfall."

The three of them travelled in silence. Along the way, the few of them kept their mouths shut, as if they had come to a tacit understanding. Shen Die was upset because her family was destroyed, and Zuo Feng and Zuo Hou were worried because of the situation in the village, so they no longer had the mood to gossip.

There was one advantage to traveling like this, which was that they could improve the efficiency of the operation. They only stopped once, took a break after eating some rations, and then continued their journey towards the Zuo Family Village without stopping. Fortunately, Zuo Feng's senses were sensitive, and he avoided wild beasts at the right time.

It was much faster than Zuo Feng had expected, and when they arrived at the village, the sun was still diagonally high in the western sky.

Looking at the outline of the village from afar, Zuo Feng and Zuo Hou did not say anything, but they heaved a sigh of relief at the same time. In fact, they were all very scared. When they returned to the village, all they saw was a scene of ruins and ruins. Fortunately, the village was still surrounded by the mountains.

When Zuo Feng could vaguely see the figures on the wall, he could already see the faces of the people on the wall. He knew that these were all the benefits from his mysterious cultivation technique.

His gaze swept across the city wall. A figure entered his eyes, causing Zuo Feng to frown. It was Zuo Peng, the person who had tricked him into the Eastern Mountain Valley.

'This fellow actually joined the group guarding the city wall. I'm afraid this is for the convenience of contacting the outside world as well.'

Zuo Feng thought like this and was even more certain about Zuo Peng's identity as a spy. The few of them used their movement techniques, and before long, they were already several dozen feet away from the village entrance.

When Zuo Peng saw that Zuo Feng was among them, his expression instantly became extremely ugly. His face, which could still be considered handsome, became extremely long like a bitter gourd. Clearly, he didn't expect Zuo Feng to return alive.

Zuo Peng, who was on top of the wall, was stunned for a moment before he quickly descended the wall and disappeared. However, Zuo Feng had already witnessed all of this and had a bad premonition.

"It's that bastard Zuo Peng. Seeing how guilty he looks, I must reveal his true appearance in front of the villagers."

"Don't act rashly. Since we have safely returned to the village, there is no need to rush to expose him. In my opinion, he is just a small character and there must be more people behind him."

"You mean, Great Elder Zuo Lie."

Zuo Hou looked at Zuo Feng in shock, but Zuo Feng's face was icy cold as he did not answer him. However, Shen Die could not understand what they were saying at all.

With Zuo Peng's and Zuo Cheng's cultivation levels, there was no way they could have ambushed him at the pond back then, and he could vaguely remember that the man in black was definitely an adult.

'I hope my guess is wrong. If Great Elder is the traitor, then how can the Zuo Family Village keep any secrets? '

Even though Zuo Feng had the same guess as Zuo Hou, he still hoped that his guess was wrong. But no matter what, when he returned to the village this time, he had to find out who was the traitor and find all of them.

Without any obstruction, Zuo Feng and the other two successfully entered the village. Zuo Feng had originally thought that Zuo Cheng would make things difficult for them when they entered the village, but it turned out to be beyond his expectations.

However, just as Zuo Feng was about to let go of his worries, a discordant voice rang out.

"Zuo Feng, where did you run off to? Those surrounding villages were attacked by those bandits from the Golden Rock Mountain, and you guys actually swaggered out of the village. Don't tell me you're a spy from those bandits?"

The three of them looked towards the source of the voice. The person who spoke looked similar to Zuo Peng, but his sallow face and faint smell of medicine made it clear that he had just recovered from a serious illness.

"Zuo Cheng, what's wrong? Your injury has healed."

The person who spoke was Zuo Cheng, who was seriously injured by Zuo Feng earlier in the competition. It seemed that Zuo Peng had come looking for him when he was in a hurry to leave, and Zuo Feng's tone didn't sound polite at all when he saw him.

Hearing Zuo Feng's words, Zuo Cheng's expression became even more unsightly. It was unknown if it was because of his injuries. He coldly stared at Zuo Feng, his gaze sweeping over Zuo Hou, and finally stopping on Shen Die who was dressed in white.

When he saw Shen Die, he was stunned. A trace of a obscene smile appeared in his eyes, but he still spoke righteously.

"You guys haven't seen each other in the past few days, and now you're bringing back a woman of unknown origin. You must give a reasonable explanation to the village. Follow me to the Great Elder's place to receive his inquiry. "

Zuo Feng raised his hand to stop Zuo Hou from speaking, at the same time he looked at Shen Die, nodding slightly to signal her not to worry. Only then did he turn his head and speak coldly.

"Even if I were to receive an inquiry, it would be the village chief who would come. When would it be the Grand Elder's turn?"

When Zuo Cheng heard him mention the village chief, his eyes twinkled. He had wanted to say something, but instead, the sound of many footsteps came from behind him. At the same time that Zuo Cheng heard the sound of footsteps, a sinister smile appeared on his face.

Zuo Feng finally understood that this fella wasn't really bringing them to see the grand elder, but to stall for time.

Thinking about it carefully, their safe return meant that their plot had probably been exposed. If that was the case, of course he wouldn't obediently follow him to see the Grand Elder.

Thinking up to here, Zuo Feng could not help but scold himself for not having thought things through properly. Looking in the direction of the footsteps, he saw a group of youths aggressively approaching him.

"Zuo Feng, you actually disobeyed the young regiment and left the village without permission. Today, I will punish you as the young regiment captain."

Hearing this ear-piercing voice, Zuo Feng also saw the figure walking in the middle of the crowd, and couldn't help but slightly sigh. The person who spoke was none other than Teng Fang.

'This fellow is really a piece of mud that can't be used to support a wall. The life and death of his own brother has been unknown since then. But now, he has been used as a tool by someone. The village has fallen into such a dangerous situation, yet he still has the leisure to play with internal strife. ''

Zuo Feng thought furiously.
