Chapter 13: Trouble Returning to the Village

Zuo Feng gently raised his slightly handsome face, and everywhere he looked around, he no longer looked like before.

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

It was as if everything around him was subtly different in his eyes. He lifted his nose and smelled it gently. In the strong blood, he could actually distinguish the subtle smell differences between different flowers and plants.

His ears twitched slowly a few times, and the chirping of insects and birds around him, as well as the subtle sounds of beasts moving about more than ten feet away, were clearly reflected in his ears.

At this time, Zuo Feng felt that his facial features seemed to have evolved. His eyes, nose, ears, and even his skin were like a mirror, clearly reflecting all the subtle changes around him in his heart.

Zuo Feng felt all these changes in himself, and was both surprised and excited. He had never felt that the world was so colorful, and he had never realized that the world he was in was so mysterious and moving.

"You guys, I'm happy to know that you have achieved a breakthrough in cultivation, but don't make such a coquettish expression to irritate us both."

After listening to Zuo Hou's words, Shen Die couldn't help but frown slightly, obviously not liking Zuo Hou putting the two of them together.

"It must have taken me a long time to achieve this breakthrough."

Zuo Feng chuckled. He had long been accustomed to this good brother who spoke openly.

"Isn't that right? It actually took you more than half an hour to break through the cultivation level this time. I heard that it usually only takes so long to break through from the strong body stage to the bone refining stage."

Zuo Feng was shocked, 'It seems that this mysterious technique of his is still very special, but the two of them don't have enough experience and cultivation to understand the mystery. ’

But I have already made up my mind to try not to break through in cultivation in front of others in the future.

He secretly tried to run the mysterious "unnamed skill", and sure enough, another acupoint was opened during the operation of the skill.

By observing the movement of energy in the bulge on the chest, he already knew that this mysterious technique ran through three different meridians. It coincides with the three stages of body refining, bone refining and tendon tempering.

Although I don't know what will happen if I continue to practice, looking at the changes in myself just after waking up, I can already confirm that this is definitely a rare skill in the world.

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

Chen Die suddenly remembered something and asked.

Zuo Feng and Zuo Hou looked at each other. The former didn't know where to start. After thinking for a long time, Zuo Feng spoke.

"We have a hunting team that lost contact the day before yesterday. We are all sent out to investigate. After hearing what happened to your Shenjia Village, I'm afraid they..."

Zuo Feng hadn't finished speaking, but Shen Die already understood what he meant. Zuo Feng's expression was a little gloomy. Teng Li's group may have encountered bandits who were preparing to attack Shenjia Village. Perhaps they were the "group of rats from the Fengtian Dynasty" that the woman said. No matter who they were, they would probably be in trouble. .

"If you have nowhere to go, why not follow us back to Zuojia Village first."

Zuo Feng saw Shen Die's conflicting mood and said softly. Hearing what Zuo Feng said, Shen Die was stunned for a moment, then forced out a smile and said.

"I really don't have anywhere to go. I hope I won't cause you any trouble."

"Wherever there will be trouble, our two villages have always had a very good relationship. Now that you are in trouble, we should help you."

Shen Die nodded gratefully and expressed her gratitude. For the first time, she had some affection for this boy who looked funny but had a fiery heart.

"Do you need a rest? You must be quite tired from the battle just now."

"I asked you, you lunatic, why are you so concerned about beautiful women? Don't forget, it took you half an hour to break through the cultivation level just now."

After listening to Zuo Hou's words, Zuo Feng smiled awkwardly, and a touch of red appeared on his fair face. The fact that I cared so much about the Chen Die in front of me was indeed inconsistent with my past style. Thinking about this, I couldn't help but glance at Chen Die, and saw that Shen Die's face was blushing and she lowered her head without saying a word.

"Smelly monkey, you're the only one who talks so much nonsense. Let's leave now. We should be able to get back to the village before dark."

The three of them walked in silence, and everyone along the way had a tacit understanding of keeping silent. Chen Die felt sad because his family was destroyed. Zuo Feng and Zuo Hou were worried about the situation in the village and were no longer in the mood to gossip. The previous few jokes were just that they wanted to relieve their depressed mood.

One advantage of this kind of hurrying is that it improves the efficiency of the operation. Several people only stopped once in the middle, took a short rest and ate dry food, and then continued non-stop towards Zuojia Village. Fortunately, Zuo Feng's senses were very sensitive and he would avoid the beast in time before encountering it.

Much faster than Zuo Feng expected, the sun was still slanting in the western sky when a few people arrived at the village.

Seeing the outline of the village from a distance, Zuo Feng and Zuo Hou breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, although they didn't say anything. They were actually very scared. When they returned to the village, what they saw was a scene of ruins. Fortunately, at a glance, the village still stands peacefully surrounded by mountains.

When Zuo Hou could vaguely see the figures on the city wall, Zuo Feng could already clearly see the faces of those on the city wall. He knew that these were the benefits of his mysterious skills.

His eyes swept across the city wall, and a figure came into view, which made Zuo Feng frown suddenly, because that figure belonged to Zuo Peng who had deceived him into the Dongshan Canyon.

‘This guy actually joined the team guarding the city wall. I’m afraid this is also to facilitate contact with the outside world. ’

Zuo Feng thought this way, and became more certain about the identity of Zuo Peng's spy. Several people spread out their body skills, and with little effort, they reached a dozen feet outside the village.

When Zuo Peng saw clearly that Zuo Feng was among the people coming, his face turned extremely ugly in an instant. His rather handsome face was as long as a bitter gourd. Obviously, he did not expect Zuo Feng to be alive. return.

Zuo Peng on the city wall was just stunned for a moment, and then quickly got off the city wall without knowing where to go, but Zuo Feng had already seen all this, and he already had a very bad premonition in his heart.

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

"Don't act rashly. Since we have returned to the village safely, there is no need to rush to expose him. I think he is just a small character. There must be a bigger person behind him."

"You mean, Great Elder Zuo Lie."

Zuo Hou looked at Zuo Feng beside him with a shocked face, but Zuo Feng's face was covered with frost and did not answer his words, but Shen Die had no idea what they were talking about.

With Zuo Peng or Zuo Cheng's cultivation, it would have been impossible for them to sneak attack him by the pool back then, and he also vaguely remembered that the figure of the man in black was definitely an adult.

‘I hope my guess is wrong. If the great elder is an internal agent of the bandits, then how can there be any secrets in Zuojia Village? ’

Although Zuo Feng had already made the same guess as Zuo Hou, he still hoped that his guess was wrong. However, no matter what, he must find out who the spies were when he returned to the village this time and kill them all. Pull them out without leaving anything behind.

Without encountering any obstruction, Zuo Feng and the other three entered the village smoothly. Zuo Feng originally thought that Zuo Cheng would make things difficult for him and others when they entered the village, but the result was beyond his expectation.

But just when Zuo Feng was relieved, a very discordant voice sounded.

"Zuo Feng, where have you been? Several surrounding villages have been attacked by bandits from Jinyan Mountain, and you are still wandering out of the village in such a big way. Are you a spy for the bandits?"

The three of them followed the voice and saw that the speaker looked somewhat similar to Zuo Peng, but his waxy face and faint smell of medicine made it known that he was still recovering from a serious illness.

"Zuo Cheng, why, your injury is healed."

The person who spoke was none other than Zuo Cheng, who had been seriously injured by Zuo Feng in the competition. It seemed that Zuo Peng came to him in a hurry to leave. When he saw it was him, Zuo Feng's words were even less polite.

After hearing Zuo Feng's words, Zuo Cheng's face became a little uglier, wondering if it might have affected his injury. He glared at Zuo Feng coldly, his eyes swept over Zuo Hou, and finally landed on Shen Die, who was dressed in white.

When he saw Shen Die, he was obviously startled, with a hint of lewd smile in his eyes, but then he spoke righteously.

"You haven't seen each other for the past few days, and now you have brought back such a woman of unknown origin. You must give the village a reasonable explanation. Now follow me to the great elder to accept his questioning."

Zuo Feng raised his hand to stop Zuo Hou who was about to speak. At the same time, he turned his eyes to Shen Die and nodded slightly to tell her not to worry. Then he turned back and said coldly.

"Even if I have to be questioned, it will be the village chief who will ask. Where is the elder's turn?"

Zuo Cheng's eyes flickered slightly when he heard him mention the village chief. I wanted to say something more, but there were dense footsteps behind me. When Zuo Cheng heard the footsteps, a sinister smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Only then did Zuo Feng realize that this guy didn't really want to take him and others to see the great elder, but was just delaying time.

If you think about it carefully, 'The fact that I and others returned safely means that their conspiracy may have been exposed. If that were the case, of course I would not go with him to see the great elder.'

Thinking of this, Zuo Feng couldn't help but secretly blame himself for not thinking things through enough. Looking in the direction of the footsteps, he saw a group of teenagers coming towards him menacingly.

"Zuo Feng, you disobeyed the orders of the Young Regiment and left the village without authorization. I will punish you today as the leader of the Young Regiment."

Listening to the harsh sound, Zuo Feng also saw the figure walking in the middle of the crowd and couldn't help but sigh slightly. The person who spoke was none other than Fujikata.

‘This guy really can’t stand up to the wall. His eldest brother’s life and death are uncertain, and now he is being used as a tool. With the village in such a crisis, he still had time to fight among himself. ’

Zuo Feng couldn't help but think with anger rising.
