C61 Secret Treasure of Secret Realm

Zuo Feng had long since guessed that the woman his master was talking about was Zhuang Yu. It would be strange if Zuo Feng could not guess the clues to his appearance and temperament, his kind heart, and his exquisite medical skills.

Seeing that Zuo Feng had already guessed what he was talking about, Teng Xiao Yun nodded his head with a smile on his face and continued.

"This time's operation has failed and the organization is not the least bit surprised. However, my betrayal has greatly angered the upper echelons. I found out later on that your Aunt Zhuang chose to be with me at that time because she took a huge risk. She also has a deep background in Black Tortoise Empire, if there's a chance, she can tell it to you. "

At this point, Teng Xiao Yun's expression became somewhat lonely. It was the sorrow of parting from the dead. Zuo Feng could imagine how painful it must have been for his master to have to face such a huge pressure while the two of them bravely walked together, but now they had to face separation.

Zuo Feng said, "Master, I'll take you back to Yan City. With Aunt Zhuang's medical skills, even if the poison in your body can't be cured, there should be a way to extend your life."

Because of Zuo Feng's words, Teng Xiao Yun clearly struggled a bit, but after a while, his eyes dimmed again. Ye Zichen shook his head with a frown, then spoke up once more as if there was something strange in his throat.

"Another reason not to go back is that I don't want her to see me like this. Even if I saw her, I wouldn't be able to avoid death. She would also feel guilty and guilty for not being able to cure the poison in my body. "Ai …"

With that, Teng Xiao Yun let out a long sigh. After a while, his mood had become as calm and tranquil as it was before.

"At that time, Zhuang Yu and I could not stay in the Black Tortoise Empire nor could we return to the Fengtian Empire. After discussing it over again and again, we decided to leave for the ancient kingdom in the west. "In the beginning, we were surrounded and hunted by the Fengtian Empire several times, but eventually, the two of us passed through many obstacles and entered the Ancient Desolate Kingdom."

"Originally, everything would have been peaceful in the past, but now, everything has changed because of a single decision of mine. She never blamed me, but I blame myself until now. "

As he said this, Teng Xiao Yun slightly raised his head. The sky was blue and cloudless, but there was no focus in Teng Xiao Yun's eyes. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but tremble. This was the first time Zuo Feng saw such regret on his face.

"I was too young back then. Although I wanted to live a secret life with your Aunt Zhuang, my heart still yearned for that extremely illusory cultivation base." If you let me choose one more time, even if your cultivation is so easily obtainable, I can give it up. " Speaking of this, Teng Xiao Yun paused for a while before continuing.

"That is a secret realm. There are many legends regarding the origin of that secret realm, but I believe that none of those legends are true. This was because none of those who had fabricated legends about the origin of the secret realm had obtained a shred of information from it. That secret realm was located within the borders of the Archaic Kingdom, and it suddenly appeared. It was said that there was nothing there originally, but just like that, it suddenly appeared. At that time, I was young and vigorous, and because this secret realm was in the Ancient Desolate Kingdom, I ignored her advice and went to explore. Phew... "Phew …"

As he spoke, Teng Xiao Yun began to pant as if he was having trouble breathing. Seeing how weak Teng Xiao Yun was, Zuo Feng couldn't help but say, "Master, you should rest first. I'll go check out the place where the grey-clothed men fought with the beasts. Maybe I can find some medicine to temporarily suppress your poison."

Teng Xiao Yun waved his hand, signalling Zuo Feng to sit there to not move, then he leaned back and said, "Don't go, the medicine is gone. Just before they went to bed last night, they gave me the last pill. You must not go there again. The people you provoked, the gray-clothed person and his companions, may be in the surroundings right now. Furthermore, if that giant wolf is still alive, with your current strength, if you were to encounter it, there is no chance of surviving at all.

Although Zuo Feng was grieving in his heart, he still gritted his teeth and nodded his head. Seeing Zuo Feng nod in agreement, Teng Xiao Yun forced out a smile and started lecturing again.

"After arriving at that secret realm, I was extremely careful. I didn't dare show my face and carefully observed from the outside. This secret realm is very strange, it's outer perimeter is covered by thick fog and smoke all year round, it's also not like most of the mysterious places where only one way can enter, this secret realm can actually be entered from any place in the periphery. "

"But as far as I know, most of the people who entered went back empty-handed. Some of them even completely disappeared without a trace. Thus, at that time, I was just giving it a try and entered the interior of the building after finding a direction. It is very strange that I did not encounter many obstacles at the time, nor did I encounter many dangers when I entered the interior. "

"I remember that it was a hall. After that, I slowly realized that the hall was actually one of the chambers of some peerless expert. At that time, I accidentally barged in and obtained a strange stone block. That stone block was located in the middle of the hall.

Hearing this, Zuo Feng's heart slightly trembled. So that stone block was obtained by his Master like this. Because it involved the secrets of his body, Zuo Feng listened more carefully to what his master said.

"No matter how many times I tried, whether it was channeling spiritual energy into it or slashing at it with weapons, I was unable to break through it. There isn't even a single trace left on the surface of the stone block. At that time, not to mention a stone block, even a gate made of fine iron and steel would have been able to break through it, but against this stone block, I was at a loss of what to do. "

Teng Xiao Yun gasped for breath before speaking again.

"At that time, I had no way of breaking through it, but I knew that it was not a place to stay, so I prepared to leave as soon as possible. However, just as I was about to leave, I made a new discovery. On the side of the hall, there was a compartment similar to a study. When I entered the study, I had already scanned through it once, and there were two rows of extremely large bookshelves.

"But just as I was about to leave, I discovered that there were two books that were still in good condition. Those two books were made from unknown materials and there were actually no signs of corrosion. This greatly surprised me, so I put away the two books. When I left the Secret Realm, I was already extremely careful, but someone noticed that I did not return empty-handed like the others. "

After saying this, Teng Xiao Yun's tone gradually became excited. The indifference on his face was slowly replaced by nervousness and solemnity. Zuo Feng could imagine that there must have been countless experts fighting over the secret treasures his master had obtained.

Teng Xiao Yun continued, "There were too many people chasing me that time and there were many forces. Although I used all sorts of methods to hide my tracks, I was still found time and time again."

"I brought your Aunt Zhuang with me. She lurked around for a while and thought that the limelight had passed, but someone soon found us again. It was only then that I realized that I was truly wrong. I should have listened to your Aunt Zhuang's advice, but there is no medicine for regret in this world.

Zuo Feng could hear how much regret and self-blame Teng Xiao Yun was feeling, and he couldn't help but sigh as well.

"When Zhuang Yu and I hid in a small village in the mountain, I originally wanted to live the rest of our lives in seclusion. I didn't even want to care about that hateful stone pillar anymore. As for those two books, I've only seen one of them before, and I'm not willing to touch them anymore. I've been extremely ruthless in my heart, and I've also been extremely ruthless towards these things that brought me trouble. "

Hearing this, Zuo Feng became even more nervous, because if they could get out of this crisis safely, they wouldn't be in the village anymore. Zuo Feng was so nervous that he couldn't help but clench his fist. Teng Xiaoyun tilted her head and glanced at Zuo Feng's expression and his clenched fist before she continued speaking with a sigh.

"It seems that you have already guessed it. That time, we were finally found out by those people." That group of people were truly devoid of conscience. The women and children in the village were not spared a single one. I was thoroughly enraged and did not want to be chased around like a mouse anymore. At that time, I thought that even if I died here with Zhuang Yu, I would need some people to carry the blame. "

"But the enemies are too strong and there are many of them. In the end, I was heavily injured by them and my cultivation was exhausted. This is why no matter how hard I tried later on, I was unable to break through this barrier."

Zuo Feng came to a realization. This was the reason why Teng Xiao Yun's strength had been stuck at the Body Tempering realm. He knew that things must have changed, so he continued to listen and only heard Teng Xiao Yun slowly say this.

Just as I was about to die from my injuries, and Zhuang Yu was about to commit suicide to accompany me, a voice seemed to come from the void, 'Sigh, this method is too vicious. I assume that all of you already have the will to die.

"After speaking, a white figure suddenly appeared by my side. It was an old man with white hair and a beard. He had only glanced at Zhuang Yu and me, yet we were completely unable to move."

"Within a few breaths of time, not a single one of the nearly hundred warriors that surrounded us died. I didn't even see how he made his move. Later on, I also asked about the origin of the old man. That old man didn't even mention anything about his identity. "

"This old man only gently patted me on the shoulder and my injuries started to slowly heal. He said to me, 'Although your life is fine, you will never be able to break through to the Tempered Muscle stage." I didn't want to deal with the mundane matters of the world anymore. Perhaps this is a trace of destiny between you and me. "Destiny begins with karma, and I hope that today's cause is not the fruit of his domination."
