Chapter 549: Falling from the Sky

The morning sun in autumn is particularly gorgeous, especially when there are layers of clouds in the sky, which makes people feel relaxed and happy when looking at it from a distance.

However, most people in Tushan City are not willing to look up at the sky. Because today is the grand ceremony of selecting medicine children in all towns and cities in the entire Xuanwu Empire. For this day, it is almost more lively and prosperous than every New Year.

There are even many places that deliberately put the local adult ceremony before the selection of medicine children. On the one hand, the atmosphere of the selection of medicine children will be more heated, and on the other hand, the parents of children who are about to become adults hope to give their children some talent.

After all, those who can participate in the selection of medicine children are the best in a hundred miles or even hundreds of miles. Everyone believes that if the adult ceremony is held in such an occasion where many heroes gather, their children may also stand here in the future. That is not only to glorify the ancestors, but also to make the whole family rise to heaven.

A series of firecrackers rang out one after another, and a group of boys and girls who had just completed the coming-of-age ceremony, led by their parents, stepped back and completely vacated the square of the City Lord's Mansion. At the same time, some strong men in guard uniforms began to place stone platforms one by one in the square.

Upon closer inspection, these stone platforms were exactly the same as those used in the selection in Tushan Town. Although each stone platform weighed hundreds of pounds, these people could still barely carry it, which showed that the strength of these warriors was also quite good, at least reaching the strength of the middle stage of bone refining.

After the platforms were placed one by one, a tall and thin old man in a light blue gown walked out of the hall and stopped at the edge of the steps at the side of the square. Standing at the top of the steps was City Lord Lin. His eyes swept through a group of people not far away, and then he showed a sneer.

That smile seemed like a cunning smile after a conspiracy succeeded, but under the watchful eyes of the public, his demeanor immediately returned to a solemn state.

He said slowly: "Since everyone is here, we will start the three-year selection of medicine children in Tushan City. In order not to affect the players' concentration, we have ordered people to close the middle gate. From now on, no one is allowed to enter or leave."

These guards did not expect that City Lord Lin would suddenly make such a request. Although they were very puzzled, they still followed City Lord Lin's request and closed the two gates tightly.

At this time, among the group of people who were about to enter the square, a slightly childish voice said: "Sister, why hasn't Mr. Shen appeared yet? Is he going to give up this selection? With his strength, it is not impossible for him to enter the final selection of the empire."

The person who spoke was Duan Xia, who studied runes with Zuo Feng last night. After hearing his words, Duan Yueyao frowned and lowered her head to think deeply about something. This woman has almost never behaved like this in front of Zuo Feng. It seems that everything has always been in his hands.

Seeing that Naijie didn't answer, Duan Xia couldn't help but ask again: "Why did he..."

Before Duan Xia finished speaking, Duan Yueyao said impatiently: "You were with him last night, and now he's gone, and you ask me. I'm not a god, how can I know where a missing person is."

At this time, the people in front had slowly moved forward, and the two of them walked forward in silence, but the atmosphere between them was getting colder and colder. Duan Yueyao couldn't help but look back at this time. The door was tightly closed at this time. She knew that there were many city guards inside and outside the city lord's mansion. Even if Zuo Feng came at this time, he couldn't come in.

Unable to help but sigh, Duan Yueyao slowly retracted her gaze, and it seemed that her disappointment at this time seemed to be more disappointed than Zuo Feng who failed to participate in the selection.

When he stepped into the stone platform where he was, he couldn't help but look up at the rising sun. The sunlight shone through the gaps between the clouds, allowing people to roughly judge the time of appearance.

The scenery in front of her was so gorgeous, but Duan Yueyao was not in the mood to watch it. Now she just wanted to confirm the time one last time.

However, Duan Yueyao, who raised her pretty face, would not look up at the sky no matter what. Her mouth opened slightly, but it was getting wider and wider. There was no trace of a lady.

Finally, someone began to notice Duan Yueyao's strange behavior, or someone had been paying attention to the smiles and frowns of this beautiful woman. This head-raising action spread among the crowd like a virus. More and more people began to look up at the sky, but most of them looked confused or intoxicated by the beautiful scenery in the sky.

Of course, there were also sharp-eyed people who discovered the strange phenomenon in the sky. City Lord Lin also noticed the changes in the square and subconsciously looked up at the sky. With his cultivation, he immediately saw the difference in the sky.

Below the slightly dim clouds, several rays of light fell between the clouds, and a small spot appeared in the rays of light. If ordinary people saw this spot, most would think it was the result of their own dizziness.

However, some people with higher cultivation or sharp eyesight could immediately see that the spot in the sky was constantly moving.

Duan Yueyao's face gradually showed a touch of surprise. She seemed to have seen the origin of the person in the sky. In addition, City Lord Lin also seemed to have seen the identity of the person, because his face was extremely ugly, and he even trembled slightly.

I don’t know who started to speak first, shouting loudly: “That, is a human figure, there is actually someone flying in the sky, how is this possible.”

“Could it be a super strong man in the Refining Spirit Stage? How could such a strong man come to Tushan City?”

“It must be a high-ranking official in the empire.”

The crowd sighed, and only Duan Yueyao whispered to herself: “This kid really has some skills, I am not wrong.”

The voice was very small, and no one could hear it in the various exclamations around. The originally tiny spots have gradually become clear, and anyone with eyes can see that it is a human figure.

The figure is getting bigger and bigger, and gradually everyone can see the appearance of this person. He is slightly thin, and his appearance is handsome and heroic, especially his clear eyes, and his dark pupils are shining with a firm light.

"It's that boy, the boy from yesterday."

"How is it possible? How could he be a strong man in the Refining Spirit Stage? This is absolutely impossible."

The man who came was Zuo Feng. There were faint scars on his face and countless small tears on his clothes. It seemed that he had just fought with someone. Because it was not far from the ground at this time, everyone could not only see his appearance clearly, but also hear the rustling of his clothes in the wind.

"No, this kid is only in the Refining Bone Stage. How did he fly to the sky? Is there any elixir to help him?"

"Even so, this guy will definitely be smashed to pieces if he falls at this speed."

Someone seemed to remember something and shouted loudly: "Get out of the way quickly, don't let him hit you."

This voice seemed to remind everyone, and the contestants in the square immediately fled, and the scene seemed a little chaotic for a while. Only Duan Yueyao kept her pretty eyes flashing with a faint light, staring at Zuo Feng who fell from the sky, without leaving at all.

If Zuo Feng were to continue at his current speed, he would fall to the ground in a short while. Not to mention that he would be crushed to pieces, even the square would be destroyed.

When he was about ten feet away from the square, Zuo Feng suddenly opened his arms in a big letter shape. At this time, everyone discovered that there was a large cloak tied behind Zuo Feng. The cloak was originally wrapped around his body, and the four corners were tied to his hands and feet.

Originally, Zuo Feng held his limbs together, so no one had noticed the cloak behind him before. Now his limbs were completely opened, and the cloak immediately opened completely because of the wind, and at the same time, Zuo Feng's descent speed also slowed down immediately.

But even so, Zuo Feng still had a hard time surviving after falling. Because the original descent speed was too fast, even if the speed was reduced a little due to the resistance of the cloak, the speed was still very terrifying.

At this time, everyone in the City Lord's Mansion looked up at the sky, and everyone's heart almost came to their throats, not understanding why this young man chose such a desperate method to come. Although many people thought that Zuo Feng would definitely die, they still thought that things were not that simple.

Almost in the blink of an eye, Zuo Feng had fallen several feet again and was about to approach the ground. Suddenly, Zuo Feng's body slightly bent backwards, and as his body twisted, the cloak behind him was instantly pulled straight.

Then Zuo Feng's body suddenly turned at an almost impossible angle, and at this time he was only three or four feet above the ground. Now everyone could even see every hair of Zuo Feng, but there was no panic on Zuo Feng's face.

The next moment, Zuo Feng's body whizzed past everyone's heads, and then drew a large arc around the entire square, and his body also climbed up slightly to a height of about ten feet.

At this time, everyone understood that the young man was definitely not in danger of life, and the rest just stared with wide eyes to see how he landed gorgeously.

But the face of the city lord Lin was extremely ugly, as gloomy as if covered with a layer of gray and black color. His fists clenched unconsciously, and a low groan came out of his throat. He knew that the situation could not be reversed.

After almost sliding around the square, Zuo Feng came to the center of the square like a fish. Almost all the people who were standing here to participate in the competition had left, leaving him space to land calmly.

Zuo Feng suddenly put away his cloak, and his body fell straight down, finally hitting the ground heavily.
