C111 Painful Distance

Zuo Feng followed behind his uncle, but what surprised him was that the two of them were not heading towards the City Lord's Mansion. It was only when Zuo Feng followed his uncle out of Yan City and saw three figures waiting outside the North Gate that he finally understood a little.

The three of them looked to be around seventeen or eighteen years old, two men and one woman. The woman was not extremely beautiful, but her enchanting figure and slender legs made her look extremely attractive. Along with the black attire, it gave off a wild beauty.

The other two men stood by his side. A man wore extremely gaudy clothes. If one were to accidentally see this man from far away, it was likely that they would mistake him for a woman. The other man had an abnormally sturdy physique. Even though it was already autumn, he was still bare-chested.

The two men were average. When they saw Zuo Feng following his uncle, they both slightly nodded in a polite manner. Only the girl glared at Zuo Feng with an extremely unfriendly expression. She snorted before turning around and not looking at Zuo Feng again.

Zuo Feng was slightly confused. It seemed that he had never met this woman before, so why was it that when they first met, she seemed to be full of enmity towards him?

"Alright, we don't have much time, let's all hurry up and set off. All along the way, you all have plenty of time to get to know each other.

The four of them silently nodded their heads before following him north. While he was walking, Zuo Feng was secretly observing his other companions. An exaggerated Zhanmadao hung on the large man's back. Although it did not look sharp, Zuo Feng could guess from its size that it had a great destructive power.

Seeing that Zuo Feng was interested in his saber, the burly man smiled and said: "My name is Mo Tie, his name is Lin Xun, and that girl is Qin Xiao. "Little brother looks very young, probably not even sixteen years old."

The burly man smiled, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. Judging from his personality, he should be one of those open-minded men. As he walked, he introduced himself and the other two to Zuo Feng and casually asked about him.

Zuo Feng smiled and said, "My name is Zuo Feng, I am indeed less than 16 years old this year."

"Humph, a child that hasn't even grown hair yet. He actually dares to participate in the rotational tower of trials." Mo Tie, you're too nosy, what are you doing with this sort of burden? "

Hearing the words of the woman called Qin Xiao, Zuo Feng couldn't help but slightly frown. He was sure that this was the first time he had seen such an enchanting woman, but where did her hostility come from? This made Zuo Feng puzzled.

"You can't be blamed for this. This Qin Xiao has a twin called Qin Xing."

"Hmm? I don't know her or her brother, so what does this Qin Xing have to do with me? "

After Zuo Feng heard the introduction, he asked again with some doubts. The man called Mo Tie continued to speak with a faint smile.

"These people have been chosen since the end of the last trial. We have also been through all sorts of tough training these past few years. However, three months ago, the City Lord suddenly informed that Qin Xing's qualification had been revoked. If I say this, you can probably guess why that Qin Xiao is so hostile towards you. "

Zuo Feng finally understood when he heard this. He helplessly shook his head and said to himself, "So there's actually such a thing. If it wasn't for the Mayor's request, I would never want to get involved in this mess."

Hearing Zuo Feng's words, the man called Mo Tie could not help but reveal a trace of astonishment in his eyes. Even the gaudy man called Lin Xun also quietly glanced over.

"Hmph, putting on an act. "Could it be that the mayor has been muddleheaded since he was old? To think that he would let a little kid like him replace my little brother."

Zuo Feng only casually smiled when he heard what the girl said. Seeing Zuo Feng's expression, the girl called Qin Xiao had obviously provoked a ruckus in her heart. However, before she could say anything, she was interrupted. At this moment, the low voice of the Heavenly Uncle rang out.

"If you can't control your own mouth, you can go back now."

Uncle Tian's words were obviously directed towards the girl named Qin Xiao. Upon hearing Uncle Tian's words, the expression on the woman's face became extremely unsightly. Soon after, she realized that she had violated a taboo in her words. The prestige of the City Lord was definitely not something a junior like her could speak of. In the end, it was worth giving a fierce glare to Zuo Feng before he stopped talking.

The group headed north and soon reached the mountains. Zuo Feng also understood why they weren't riding on horses. Even if there were horses, they wouldn't be able to use such a rugged mountain road.

As time passed, the sun also gradually approached the center of the sky. Not long after, they discovered an interesting phenomenon. Due to the heavy heavy Zhanmadao carried on his back, the large, bare-chested man walked at the back of the group with some difficulty. However, the seemingly weightless Zuo Feng was also strenuously hanging at the rear.

In the beginning, these people did not pay too much attention to the situation, but as time passed, they gradually began to realize that there were some problems. The man's skin was slightly red, and his body was covered with sweat. He didn't seem to care that his upper body was naked, but his breathing was a bit rough.

Zuo Feng seemed to be struggling even harder than the big man. At the beginning, he didn't look like he was that much, but as he walked more and more paths, it became harder and harder. Zuo Feng then gradually showed signs of exertion. Sweat stains could be seen on his chest, back and armpits.

The person who was the most surprised when he saw Zuo Feng was his uncle. He had seen with his own eyes how Zuo Feng defeated two warriors of the same level, both at the eighth or seventh level of the Body Refinement Realm when he was only at the sixth level. However, the young man in front of him was clearly walking with heavy steps. He seemed to be lacking in physical strength.

Thinking of this, the old man pondered for a moment and then said, "Everyone should rest here for a while before we continue on our journey."

After Uncle Tian finished, everyone else was better. However, both Mo Tie and Zuo Feng seemed to be relieved of a heavy burden as they casually found a dry place and sat down.

"Is there something wrong with you? Why do you look like you're in a bad condition?" If you have any questions, just let me know. I've also brought quite a bit of medicinal powder out from the manor. "

Zuo Feng shook his head helplessly and said, "I don't care, I just met a little problem recently in my cultivation..." However, I am just barely able to maintain my current level in terms of battle strength. Uncle Tian, you can be at ease. "

There were too many secrets involved in the "prison lock" on his wrist. Once it was explained, it would bring him even more trouble. After serious consideration, Zuo Feng decided to keep this secret hidden. However, in order to not worry Uncle Tian, he had also emphasized his current level of combat power.

Hearing Zuo Feng's words, Uncle Tian let out a sigh of relief. However, before Uncle Tian could continue asking, the girl named Qin Xiao spoke coldly on the side.

"Uncle Tian, with this level of strength, you are qualified to represent the city lord's mansion." Looking at this sickly ghost's appearance, walking such a short distance was actually more strenuous than carrying a 300 kg Zhanmadao on his back. If this sort of person were to go, it would only increase the burden on the team. "

Zuo Feng didn't seem to care much about Qin Xiao's sarcasm. On the contrary, Uncle Tian looked displeased as he said in a deep voice, "I think you know very well how important this Rotary Tower Trial is to the City Lord. Since you've arranged for Zuo Feng to replace your brother, then you naturally have your own plans." If you can guarantee your final victory, I will have Zuo Feng go back and exchange with your brother right now. "

When Qin Xiao heard Uncle Tian's words, his face immediately turned white. After a moment, she recalled that she had heard of the strength of the other participants before. She swallowed back the words that were about to leave her mouth. However, when she looked at Zuo Feng again, her gaze became even more unfriendly.

After Uncle Tian asked about Zuo Feng's situation, he left by himself. The man called Mo Tie took off the Zhanmadao on his back and gently placed it beside his hand as he smiled and said to Zuo Feng.

"I heard that you are this time's City Lord's specially selected participant, and I also heard that this time the other participants are much stronger than the past years." As for what exactly is so amazing about you, why don't you reveal it to me? "

Zuo Feng raised his head and looked at the rough man beside him. He hadn't thought that under his rough appearance, he would have such a troublesome personality.

Shaking his head, Zuo Feng smiled and said, "How can I be powerful? I'm just an ordinary warrior like you who cultivates the body." I wonder if the other forces in Yan City have also set off ahead of time. Our speed is not fast, so we should be able to meet them on the way. "

Zuo Feng casually said a few words to the big man and then changed the topic. Mo Tie looked meaningfully at Zuo Feng, then replied at a moderate pace, "Although we are all going to participate in the turret trial, we won't be going the same route. We started almost at the same time, but nothing like this happens on the road. "

Although Zuo Feng was curious about this arrangement, he didn't want to spend too much energy thinking about it. After that, the man continued to chat with Zuo Feng, trying to find out more about him. Zuo Feng continued to ramble on and on, but in the end, the big guy didn't even get a clue about Zuo Feng.

In the next day and a half, the group of five would walk around and stop, even though Qin Xiao would occasionally grumble over Zuo Feng. However, Zuo Feng did not care about it at all. He just continued on his way and rested.

Zuo Feng had been training hard all along the way, so he was undoubtedly the most in pain amongst these people. It was only on the third day that they finally arrived at their destination. It was close to noon.

A continuous mountain range appeared before everyone's eyes. The mountain range was not precipitous, but the surroundings seemed to be shrouded in clouds all year round, making it impossible for them to see everything clearly.

It was obvious that Uncle Tian was extremely familiar with this place. He led the four of them to a mountain valley after turning left and right. There was a stone house standing by itself, and beyond it a path could be seen in the mist.

After arriving at this place, Uncle Tian said, "Everyone, please rest a bit. Come back to the stone house in half an hour. I have something to tell you."

With that said, Uncle Tian walked into the stone house. Soon after, he heard the heavy sound of the door closing.
