C136 Unknown Sensation

Ever since Zuo Feng had handed over that large bag of Body Tempering Powder to Zuo Hou, his house had once again entered a completely sealed off state. However, those who knew some alchemy techniques were able to distinguish that the medicinal fragrance this time around was different from the previous ones. Clearly, the owner of the house was currently refining other medicinal powders.

This kind of medicinal fragrance that was continuously being emitted finally made some trading houses and medicine stores unable to sit still. Some of them were glib tongued and some were mature. However, when they faced Zuo Feng's house, there was only one result, and that was that no one responded. After that, Zuo Feng's house suddenly no longer had the fragrance of all sorts of herbs.

It was unknown from which day, various kinds of explosions continuously rang out from Zuo Feng's house. Occasionally, there would be glaring red lights and thick smoke shooting out. It was also thanks to Zuo Feng's house that people from his village lined up to the left and right. Otherwise, other people would have been unable to sit still for a long time.

As no one knew what Zuo Feng was busy with, he suddenly appeared in the shop. When Zuo Feng arrived at the spacious courtyard, he saw a few slightly older youths sparring there. After some questioning, they found out that at this time, Zuo Hou and the others would suddenly disappear, and the members of the hunting team would use this time to spar with each other.

Zuo Feng thought for a while and was able to guess the gist of it. At this time, it was around noon. The restaurants, tea houses, and other places would also be bustling with noise and excitement. It was likely that they had all gone out to gather information. After asking about the situation of Zuo Hou's group, Zuo Feng walked into the shop. The Fifth Elder was busy behind the counter. Now, she looked more like a shrewd businessman.

Seeing Zuo Feng arrive, the five elders immediately handed the work on hand to the people beside them and quickly walked out from behind the counter. At the same time, he said to Zuo Feng with a smile, "If you don't show up, I'll go visit you tomorrow."

Seeing Zuo Feng's confused expression, the fifth elder immediately explained, "This is not the place to talk. Let's talk inside."

Zuo Feng looked around at the people coming and going, then nodded in agreement. Afterward, the Fifth Elder brought Zuo Feng to the small, secluded room.

"The old man from the City Lord's Mansion came by the day before yesterday. He wanted you to go to the City Lord's Mansion the next day, as if he had made a decision about the Empire's trial."

Zuo Feng nodded and estimated the time. It had been more than ten days since he had returned to Yan City. It seemed like the empire had made a new decision, which was why he came out to see if there was any news. He didn't expect to find out about the message that Uncle Tian had left behind.

Right now, he was not far from the City Lord's Mansion, but Zuo Feng's personality was like a promise. Since he had promised An Xiong that he would complete the turret trial, then no matter what, he would do his best to obtain victory. Moreover, it couldn't be said that Zuo Feng himself wasn't selfish. After all, he was very curious as to what was at the top of the spiral tower that attracted him.

The Head Elder then chatted with Zuo Feng for a while before he got up and left the room. Zuo Feng did not leave. Listening to Fifth Elder's words, Zuo Feng and the others would usually return a large part of the way. He also told the Fifth Elder that Zuo Hou would come back to find him soon.

Zuo Feng waited in the room for a long time. Then, just as he was getting impatient and was about to leave, Zuo Feng appeared before him in high spirits. When Zuo Feng saw how Zuo Hou looked like, he knew that he must have gotten something. Without waiting for Zuo Feng to ask, Zuo Hou had already sat down and started talking.

"Although we can't be sure, but among the forces that are spying on us, there is a group of people that came from East County."

Although Zuo Feng felt a little surprised after he heard this, it seemed to be within reason. He was definitely a thorn in the side in the county governor's eyes. It was understandable that he had sent people here to spy on him. However, according to the intelligence from before, this group of people had obviously been here for more than a month.

At that time, the news of Zuo Feng participating in the exam might not have spread out yet. If the county governor had paid attention to him by then, Zuo Feng would definitely not have believed him. If it wasn't him, then Zuo Feng could only think of one. These powers could be staring at their master, Teng Xiao Yun, or perhaps the treasure that their master brought out of the secret realm.

When Zuo Feng thought of this, he felt that this matter was probably even more serious than he thought. If that group of people from the Heavenly Empire revealed the identity of Teng Xiao Yun, then it would be more reasonable for these people to track down the location of the security. However, after thinking about it again and again, Zuo Feng felt that this possibility wasn't very high. If the grey-clothed person spent so much effort to obtain this clue, he definitely wouldn't leak it out himself.

This information from Zuo Hou caused Zuo Feng to be at a complete loss. After conversing with him for a while, he returned to his house with a solemn expression.

Back then, Zuo Feng had obtained information on the collaboration between the bandits and Zhang Yu. At the same time, he had also grasped some evidence of collaboration between the bandits and the group of gray-clothed people. He had originally thought that by relying on these things, he could borrow the strength of City Lord An Xiong to eliminate these existences that posed a threat to the Zuo Family Village.

However, things had not gone as smoothly as he had expected. After he had met An Xiong as the City Lord for the first time, he already felt that it would be difficult to realize his plan. The mayor's attitude towards Zhang Yu and the remnants of the Mountain Bandits made Zuo Feng feel that he couldn't figure out An Xiong's intentions.

At this moment, the situation in Yan City was already extremely chaotic. However, at this moment, the county governor was involved. If it was purely for the sake of the county governor's position, Zuo Feng would feel slightly more at ease. However, the county governor had sent spies to spy on them before the trial began. This made Zuo Feng feel uneasy.

The current Yan City could be said to be in an unprecedented state of chaos. Although they were all moving in secret on the surface, this kind of undercurrent also signified that a big change was about to happen. Zuo Feng felt that if he could not grasp some of the important information, it was unknown whether or not the village of Zuo would survive once the change came.

"But what is the secret?"

Zuo Feng was lying on his stone bed as he mumbled to himself. Then, he smashed the stone bed a few times in a depressed manner. Zuo Feng had wanted to rest for the night in preparation for the second trial, but it was getting brighter outside and he still hadn't fallen asleep.

With a pair of slightly greyish circles around his eyes, Zuo Feng got up from the stone bed, washed himself simply, and left the house. As soon as he stepped out of the courtyard, Zuo Feng could feel the restaurant and street corner on the other side turning. In the distance, there were at least three pairs of eyes looking at him from a small building.

Zuo Feng was also a bit surprised that his spiritual sense was this sharp. After that, he pretended to not know anything and lightly closed the door before heading straight for the City Lord's Mansion in the center of the city. He felt that someone had secretly followed him for a while, and then seemed to have given up on him on their own accord.

Zuo Feng's Spiritual Sense was completely different from his Spiritual Sense detection from before. In the past, Spiritual Sense detection could accurately pinpoint the location of the target and the strength of the target's life. At this moment, his spiritual perception was giving him a vague feeling. He was not sure of his opponent's existence, but he felt as if it existed.

However, when Zuo Feng turned around two streets later, this subtle feeling gradually faded away. Zuo Feng did not know that because of the interference of the beast spirit, his psychokinesis was trapped in his sea of consciousness. However, after a period of hard work in alchemy and refining, as he changed the way his psychokinesis was used, this sort of approximate intuition and probing with psychokinesis slowly came into being.

During this period of time, it was because of the help of his psychokinesis that he was able to quickly refine a large amount of Body Tempering Powder.

The disappearance of the stalker did not make Zuo Feng happy. Instead, it made his heart even heavier. This meant that, as he had guessed, the one he cared about was the Zuo family village, not himself. Zuo Feng felt that things might be a little tricky. If not for the fact that he had promised to participate in this exam, he would have turned around and returned to Pu Zi at this moment.

Not long after, Zuo Feng arrived at the City Lord's Mansion. An Xiong and Uncle Tian had already been waiting for a long time. When he saw Zuo Feng, An Xiong immediately smiled and took a few steps forward. Then, he cordially shook hands with Zuo Feng and greeted him. This made Zuo Feng feel uncomfortable. This An Xiong originally had a rough face, but he was good at hypocrisy in these kinds of situations.

Normally, Zuo Feng would probably accompany him for a few false pleasantries. However, he couldn't let go of this matter in his heart. When he saw An Xiong in such a state, his expression became even uglier.

It was as if An Xiong couldn't see Zuo Feng's current bad mood. He pulled him to sit by his side, and at the same time enthusiastically explained to Zuo Feng some of the things related to the reopening of the trial.

Although Zuo Feng felt very uncomfortable, he still tried his best to patiently listen to what he had to say. In the last trial, only the final victories were cancelled. The items obtained by everyone else would not be recovered. Each side could send out one person to participate, and even if they were given a fair position, they would still choose to participate in the "Rotary Tower".

Zuo Feng didn't say anything after he finished listening. The date for the competition was two days away, so it wasn't too early to start today. Zuo Feng bid farewell to the mayor and hurried towards the spiral tower. However, Zuo Feng's heart felt like it was being pressed down by a huge stone, and this feeling of oppression became more apparent the more he left Yan City.

'Don't let anything happen to the village, don't let anything happen to the family! '

Zuo Feng thought to himself. When Teng Xiao Yun died, he entrusted the entire village to him, and the family that he cared about the most was now in Yan City. Zuo Feng only wanted to end this trial as soon as possible so that he could free up his hands and feet to solve the crisis in the village.
