Defying the Martial Way to Burn the Heavens

Zuo Feng looked at the burly rider with a puzzled look. He was sure that he had never been to Dongjun, and he didn't know anyone in Dongjun, let alone someone who clearly had a high status in Dongjun.

But the soldier who belonged to Dongjun in front of him felt very familiar to him. But before they had time to identify them carefully, the cavalry team had already passed by Zuo Feng as fast as the wind. Even though there were so many people crowded here at the city gate, they never slowed down at all.

Soon the incident in front of the city gate passed, and Zuo Feng once again joined the crowd with full of doubts. In a short time, he had already arrived at the table at the city gate. After he reported his name, the soldier in charge of recording looked at Zuo Feng up and down with some doubts and asked at the same time.

"Zuo Feng, is that Zuo Feng from Zuojia Village?"

Zuo Feng was also confused, so he quickly replied: "My name is Zuo Feng, and I am indeed from Zuojia Village."

The soldier immediately said with a surprised look on his face: "That's great. The Lord of the City has an order to see you immediately after you return to the city."

After listening to his words, Zuo Feng vaguely guessed something. Although he was confused as to why the city lord left seclusion early, since the other party wanted to see him, he didn't want to see the city lord, so he answered immediately.

"Okay, I will go home and immediately go to the City Lord's Mansion to meet with the City Lord."

Hearing what Zuo Feng said, the soldier said with an embarrassed look on his face: "The city lord said that he asked you to see him immediately after returning to the city, so I ask you to come with us immediately."

Zuo Feng was obviously unhappy with such a request. When he saw the embarrassment on the soldier's face, he reluctantly nodded.

He heard from Shen Die before that his father was injured, and he wanted to go home as soon as possible. But I was going to the City Lord's Mansion now, and I could also stop by to see how my sister was injured, so I agreed after some hesitation.

Seeing Zuo Feng nodding in agreement, the soldier's face immediately showed joy, and then he gestured to the two soldiers behind him.

Then Zuo Feng, accompanied by two soldiers, walked towards the city lord's palace.

After the two soldiers walked out for a while, they kept looking at Zuofeng in embarrassment. Zuo Feng could also feel this gaze, but he had nothing to do. How could he walk fast with a 600-700 kilogram big guy on his arm? The two soldiers had obviously given instructions not to embarrass Zuo Feng before, so although they looked anxious, they didn't say much else.

It was originally a quarter of an hour's journey, but it took Zuo Feng and the three of them more than half an hour to finally arrive. When the gatekeeper heard that the young man who came was Zuo Feng, his face immediately showed joy, and he politely invited Zuo Feng into the house.

This was not Zuo Feng's first visit here. The person who invited Zuo Feng into the house was a middle-aged man dressed as a butler. The middle-aged man told Zuo Feng with a smile on his face, "The city lord is meeting with some important guests, so Zuo Feng can only go to the side hall to have some tea."

Zuo Feng nodded slightly, but he had roughly guessed that the important guests the city lord was meeting were probably related to the group of cavalry he saw at the city gate. Zuo Feng had Tian Tian in his mind, so he asked where Uncle Tian was, but the answer was that Uncle Tian was also visiting with the city lord. Then I asked Anya again, but Anya was also receiving guests with the city lord.

This left Zuo Feng could only wait with a look of helplessness. It seemed that he had to meet the city lord first before he could see the girl. Zuo Feng waited anxiously in the side hall for the next half hour. It wasn't until the middle-aged man who looked like a butler came to call him that Zuo Feng went to the main hall.

Although he had been to the City Lord's Mansion before, this was his first time in the main hall. After just a few turns from the side hall where he was, he arrived at the main hall. Looking inside, Zuo Feng couldn't help but feel a little bit tongue-tied.

Although this hall is not magnificent, it is about ten feet long and more than six feet wide. Moving his eyes to Zuo Feng, he saw a huge animal skin placed in the center of the hall. The animal skin was intact and still roaring.

Zuo Feng saw the origin of the animal skin at a glance. It turned out to be an adult "violent bear". This violent bear can be regarded as a kind of existence outside Tianping Mountain, second only to the savage beast. Unexpectedly, it was decorated here.

"Haha, little friend Zuo Feng is actually very interested in this animal skin. I killed this violent bear with my bare hands alone in the woods when I was eighteen years old. That's why people later called me 'violent bear' in private."

While Zuo Feng was staring blankly at the animal skins on the ground, a deep voice sounded in the house. Zuo Feng followed the sound and saw a middle-aged man sitting on top of him in the hall, and beside him, Uncle Tian with a kind face was looking at him with a smile. On a chair next to the hall, a graceful figure was holding up a tea cup and looking at him with his peripheral vision. It was none other than Miss Anya.

Zuo Feng couldn't help but continue to stand at the door, hurriedly walked into the hall, bowed slightly and saluted, and said.

"Zuojia Village, Zuo Feng. I have met the city lord."

"Haha, there's no need to be polite. I've heard Uncle Tian mention your matter too. I'm still a naive girl, which caused you to get hurt before. I'm here to make amends for her and you."

An Xiong laughed heartily and said to Zuo Feng with a smile. Before Zuo Feng could speak, Anya on the side said first,

"Hmph, who is using you to apologize for me? This guy is obviously not as good as others, why do you still blame me?"

Zuo Feng couldn't help but reveal a wry smile when he heard Anya say this, but he didn't say much else.

Anxiong pretended to be a little displeased, glared at Anya, and said: "You girl, you don't know how to practice hard, but you only know how to cause trouble for me. Don't make trouble for me here, go down quickly, I want to fight with you." Friendly Zuo Feng, I’d like to chat with you.”

Anya seemed accustomed to An Xiong's pretending to be angry. She glanced at Zuo Feng out of the corner of her eye, then stood up and walked out carelessly, but she said no mercy at all.

"Tch, who wants to come here? You didn't force me to come here."

An Xiong just frowned slightly at his daughter's words, then looked at Zuo Feng in the hall with a smile and said.

"Come on, although this is our first meeting, please don't be polite to me. Please sit down."

After finishing speaking, he looked back at Uncle Tian beside him and said, "God, there are no outsiders here, so you don't have to stand here anymore. Sit down and talk."

Uncle Tian nodded slightly, and without being polite to the city lord, he went to sit where Anya was sitting just now. At this time, there were only three people left in the hall. An Xiong was sitting in the middle, while Uncle Tian and Zuo Feng sat on both sides opposite him.

Zuo Feng sat down very carefully, but the chair still made a creaking sound. Uncle Tian and An Xiong both glanced at Zuo Feng in surprise, and then An Xiong said half-jokingly: "I didn't realize that little brother Zuo Feng could be so weighty despite being so thin."

Zuo Feng's face turned slightly red, but he couldn't help but think in his heart, 'If I hadn't focused all my weight on my feet now, your chair would have shattered on the spot. ’

An Xiong looked at Zuo Feng with a profound look, then chuckled and said: "Little brother's technique is really special, I can't even see your cultivation level."

Hearing what An Xiong said, Uncle Tian was slightly startled, and then looked at Zuo Feng with surprised eyes. It was only after An Xiong reminded him that he realized that after Zuo Feng came back this time, even he himself couldn't tell the depth of this young man's cultivation.

Zuo Feng was slightly shocked, but the expression on his face did not change much. At the same time, he had already guessed in his mind that he was now able to hide his cultivation. If it wasn't for the special effects of his skill after he advanced to the bone refining stage, it was because the damn "prison lock" in his hand had this special ability.

He had guessed before that Uncle Tian might have the strength in the Qi refining stage, and the city lord would not be lower in cultivation than Uncle Tian. It seems that my current cultivation level can at least prevent warriors of An Xiong's level from discovering him.

Not daring to think too much, Zuo Feng immediately replied: "This junior has had some adventures after leaving this time, so his current cultivation has reached the first level of the bone refining stage."

As soon as Zuo Feng finished speaking, An Xiong was feeling better, but his body was slightly straighter. It was obvious that day that my uncle couldn't sit still, and he said in a stunned tone: "It's only been less than ten days, and you have actually improved from the eighth level of the physical strengthening stage to the first level of the bone refining stage."

After Uncle Tian finished speaking, he also realized that he had just lost his composure, so he coughed a few times and sat back in the chair again. An Xiong didn't say much else about his gaffe. After all, Zuo Feng's progress was too astonishing.

Zuo Feng thought about it for a while and then told everything he had prepared. He vaguely told that he was accidentally rescued by the "Huansheng" senior in the forest, and some of the inside information that the "Huansheng" senior did not allow the junior to tell outsiders, thus overthrowing all the adventures at once." Go to "Huan Sheng".

He was not worried that Anxiong would expose his lies after meeting "Huansheng". After all, judging from Shen Die's tone, she and her master probably did not plan to come to Yancheng again. Even if Anxiong had a chance to meet the senior Huansheng outside Yancheng in the future, Zuo Feng would not believe that Anxiong would dare to ask that senior about such things.

"You met senior Huansheng." An Xiong asked in surprise.

Zuo Feng also knew that Huansheng had stayed in Yancheng for a few days, and he thought he might have met An Xiong. So he worshiped his friend as a sect of Huansheng, and when the two of them left, he happened to be captured and roughly told the story.

After hearing this, Anxiong not only sighed, but also said with some disappointment: "Senior Huansheng has left unexpectedly. Since she was the one who took action, it is normal for your cultivation to have such a miraculous improvement."

Then he paused and continued: "You are very lucky, and your friend is also very lucky."

Zuo Feng could hear a hint of sourness in An Xiong's words, but he would never have guessed that he was jealous of his daughter. If his daughter could be lucky enough to join that senior's sect, it would be good even if her cultivation level was improved by him like Zuo Feng.

Zuo Feng didn't know the secret behind it. In fact, he wasn't completely talking nonsense. After all, when he was on Dongshan that day, it was this "phantom creature" that made him rise to two levels in a row.
