Chapter 143: Changes in Yancheng

Facing this strange crystal, Zuo Feng was in a dilemma and was depressed for a long time. In the end, he couldn't resist the temptation of the huge energy and decided to take the risk and try to take it away.

Although he was determined to take the crystal away, Zuo Feng was not crazy enough to touch the crystal directly with his hands. Instead, he stood in front of the crystal and slowly closed his eyes. The pure thoughts in his mind flowed to his left hand. Then the power of thought increased little by little, and more and more accumulated in the palm of the hand.

When his mental power reached a certain level, Zuo Feng opened his eyes fiercely. The moment he opened his eyes, the mental power in his palms immediately surged toward the outside of his palms. At this moment, although Zuo Feng's mental power could not be radiated outside his body, a protective layer of mental power condensed close to the surface of his palm.

Zuo Feng used his mental power to the extreme at this moment, but doing so consumed a lot of mental power and energy. Not daring to pause at all, the moment the protective layer of mental power was formed, he pressed his palm towards the crystal stone. Because the power of telepathy was already in the palm of his hand, Zuo Feng took away the crystal in front of him with just a thought.

After An An breathed a sigh of relief, Zuo Feng left the attic. He was originally ready to leave, but he remembered the despicable behavior of the Sheriff's Mansion. After thinking about it for a moment, he decided to throw the bald man off the tower first.

What happened next was what the old man in green shirt witnessed with his own eyes. The bald man fell down and was smashed to pieces in front of his eyes.

At this moment, the old man in green shirt gradually came back to his senses after being absent-minded for half a quarter of an hour. He still rushed to the stone platform with a look of disbelief and started groping around. I'm afraid it's because I'm dazzled or there's some kind of trick here.

After some inspection, the old man took a few quick breaths. Because the dust here was too thick, the old man choked and coughed violently. After waiting for a long time, the old man gently wiped away the tears coughed from the corners of his eyes, and said to himself again.

"Could it be that young man? But this shouldn't happen... This kind of thing shouldn't happen at all."

After muttering a few words, the old man fell into deep thought again. After a while, the old man continued to mutter to himself: "No matter what, this matter must be reported. Compared with this matter, the Spin Tower Trial has no meaning. It seems that this matter It’s up to the king himself to decide.”

If anyone nearby heard what the old man said, they would definitely be shocked by the content. If someone cheats in the Spin Tower Trial, only the Elders need to make a decision. But if such a crystal is lost, it needs to be reported to the king to make a decision. This shows how important the crystal that Zuo Feng took away is to the Ye Lin Empire.

Zuo Feng, who had taken away the crystal at this time, quickly walked through the forest, and the sky was already pitch black. Uncle Tian had also asked Zuo Feng before if he needed to rest for a night before setting off back to Yancheng, but Zuo Feng was in a hurry to leave the spinning tower at that time.

Later, Zuo Feng told Uncle Tian with a very serious expression, "He feels that something big will happen in Yancheng in the past few days, and this matter may have something to do with the City Lord's Mansion and Zuojia Village." He did not say how he came to this conclusion. Because a small part of it is some clues Zuo Feng learned, but more of it is his own intuition. "

Uncle Tian didn't ask any more questions, as if he completely believed Zuo Feng's words. But Zuo Feng felt that Uncle Tian didn't just trust him. It felt more like Uncle Tian knew something, but was unable to tell Zuo Feng directly due to some reasons.

The two of them hurried on in this awkward atmosphere. Although it was already dark, with their cultivation, the darkness and the harassment of ordinary wild beasts had no impact at all.

They continued on their way until the sky had dimmed, and then they stopped temporarily when Zuo Feng almost lost his strength. It's okay for Uncle Tian, ​​after all, he is a powerful warrior who has reached the Qi refining stage. Zuo Feng was much miserable. His cultivation was only at the second level of the bone refining stage, and he had not even taken a sip of water, not to mention physical things, all day and night.

What depresses Zuo Feng the most is the "prison lock" in his hand. Feeling the heavy burden on his left wrist, he couldn't help cursing in his mind how perverted "Ning Xiao" was and how his "hands were too mean". If he hadn't fastened the "prison lock" on his wrist again, he wouldn't be in such an embarrassing situation now.

"Uncle Tian, ​​you should be aware of the recent chaos in Yancheng, right?"

Zuo Feng, who was eating dry food, suddenly turned his head to look at Uncle Tian and asked.

Uncle Tian looked at Zuo Feng, pondered for a while, and then said: "Yancheng is indeed in chaos recently. Although I am not completely informed, I still know something."

"What are these people doing, or what are they planning?"

Zuo Feng had endured this sentence for a long time, but now he had to ask. Because Yancheng's chaos was right in front of him, but he didn't know anything about it. The only clues he had were still unable to deduce the truth, so he placed his last hope on Uncle Tian.

Uncle Tian's mouth opened slightly, as if a sound had already come out, and Zuo Feng also opened his mouth subconsciously with a look full of anticipation. But Uncle Tian still sighed softly at the end and didn't tell Shao Feng anything he wanted to know.

"Hey, although I can't say much, I want you to know that the City Lord and I are on your side. No matter what we do, we will take the safety of you and your family into consideration."

After the two were silent for a long time, Uncle Tian finally spoke with some difficulty. These words were spoken extremely slowly and laboriously, as if he had exhausted all his strength in just a few words. Zuo Feng could guess that this was all Uncle Tian could say to him under his identity.

Carefully recalling what Uncle Tian just said, "The previous paragraph seemed to comfort me and told me not to worry too much." But the following passage has some flavor and is worth savoring. ’

Obviously the City Lord's Mansion has also been acting secretly recently, and these actions must be related to several other forces. What made Zuo Feng feel a little uncomfortable the most was Uncle Tian's last words. To be precise, they were "you and your family."

When Zuo Feng thought of this, his heart moved slightly, as if these words had awakened him, but after thinking for a long time, he still had no clue.

At this moment, Zuo Feng felt extremely irritable from the bottom of his heart, and then stood up suddenly. Uncle Tian also stood up subconsciously and stared at Zuo Feng with a puzzled expression.

"I've rested. It's better to rush back to Yancheng as soon as possible."

Uncle Tian looked at Zuo Feng's anxious look and said nothing more, just nodded lightly.

On this night when Zuo Feng and Uncle Tian were rushing back to Yancheng overnight, as Zuo Feng expected, a storm finally broke out in Yancheng after brewing for so long.

That night, it could be said that the curfew in Yancheng was in vain. Groups of masked people suddenly appeared in several places in the center of Yancheng. A group of masked people met another group of masked people and started fighting immediately without any communication. There were also two waves of masked men who met each other but continued to go their own way without any communication between them.

Such weird scenes can be seen everywhere in Yancheng tonight. Although there were not too many large-scale fierce fights, the fights between young men were basically scattered throughout Yancheng. If a person is interested, standing in the air and overlooking the entire Yancheng at this moment, he will find that most of the fighting is concentrated near the shops in Zuojiacun, that is, Zuoyun Trading House.

…

At noon on the second day, Zuo Feng and Uncle Tian finally rushed back to Yancheng after a long journey. From a distance, they noticed that Yancheng was unusual at this time. Now the sun has just tilted slightly to the west, but the gate of Yancheng has been tightly closed.

From a distance, you can see that many people have gathered under the city. At this time, they all raised their heads and shouted something towards the city. A group of soldiers on the city wall ignored it at all. Not to mention Zuo Feng, even Uncle Tian who had lived here for a long time had never seen such a thing.

"Something's not right. Something seems to have happened to Yancheng."

Needless to say, Uncle Tian, ​​Zuo Feng had already noticed something was wrong, but what Zuo Feng thought more about was, 'The changes in Yancheng must not affect the people in the village. The most important thing is his family. ’ But when Zuo Feng thought about his “family,” he couldn’t help but feel bored.

With the strength of Zuo Feng and the other two's feet, Zhan Cha Shi had reached the bottom of the city wall.

"Who is responsible for guarding the north gate today? Let your captain come and respond."

Uncle Tian stood at the foot of the city, his voice contained rich spiritual power, and every word rolled out of his throat like muffled thunder. Although Zuo Feng cared about the villagers, he was still shocked by Uncle Tian's actions.

Soon a dull face appeared on the city wall. When this man saw clearly that the person shouting from the city was Uncle Tian, ​​his face immediately changed into a smile, and at the same time he loudly replied, "It's Uncle Tian who is back. Today, I, Hu Er, am responsible for guarding the north gate."

"Did something big happen in the city? Is there another empire coming to attack our Yancheng?"

Although Uncle Tian also saw that this possibility was too small, he still expected the other party to give a positive answer after asking. But the little city guard named Hu Er immediately shook his head and said: "There was a chaos in the city last night, and the city lord issued an order at midnight. Yancheng has entered a wartime state, and no one is allowed to enter or leave."

"A big chaos? I want to see the city lord now, am I not allowed to enter the city?"

After hearing what Hu Er said, Uncle Tian's face suddenly became extremely ugly, and he immediately asked loudly to the city.

"Uncle Tian, ​​of course you can enter the city. The young man next to you should be Zuo Feng. The city lord has promised that if you two return, he will take you to the city lord's mansion immediately. But there are too many people outside now, so You two can climb the rope into the city."

After the man named Hu Er finished speaking, he threw a thick rope from the city. Judging from this posture, he was obviously prepared in advance. Zuo Feng remained silent, but he could clearly hear the conversation between Uncle Tian and Hu Er. In his anxiety, he ignored Uncle Tian and jumped up first, grabbing the hanging rope tightly with both hands and climbing up quickly.
