C65 Night Scouting

With the afterglow of the setting sun, Zuo Feng's frail figure slowly disappeared into the forest. There was only a lonely grave standing there without a word, as if it was watching Zuo Feng leave, but it also seemed to be silently hoping that its disciples would be able to survive in this chaotic world.

Under the night sky, the figure of Zuo Feng's skinny Xiao appeared much thinner. If one did not see it with their own eyes, who could believe the bizarre stories that had happened to this young man in the past few days?

There was an extremely cute little beast lying on the boy's shoulder. It was the only witness to the miraculous battle achievements of this teenager.

A little warrior at the eighth level of the Body Strengthening Stage, in the dangerous Tianping Mountain Range, had left eighteen late stage Body Tempering and Bone Refining martial artists in this forest forever. From the point of view of rescuing the prisoners, he had already completed what seemed like an impossible task.

His steps were heavy but firm as he walked forward. His eyes glimmered as he looked into the distance. His pace started to increase gradually. Soon, it changed from a slow pace to a fast pace. At a certain moment, he stomped his foot heavily on the ground, leaving behind a deep mark. His body also quickly flew forward like an arrow. With this step, he no longer had any hesitation. This step would be the beginning where he would shake the entire continent.

Zuo Feng's figure rapidly dashed through the forest like a gentle breeze in the night. His psychokinesis naturally spread out, gathering everything within a hundred feet of him in his mind. By using psychokinesis, he was already several times more proficient than when he first left the city. He slightly adjusted his direction to avoid the open area and quickly ran forward.

As he continued forward, Zuo Feng discovered that the wild beasts here had become extremely rare. Moreover, after traveling for over an hour, he hadn't found a single wave of wild beasts. Occasionally, he would sense some wild beasts moving alone.

Sensing this strange phenomenon, Zuo Feng's thoughts started to work rapidly. After careful analysis and consideration, he had a rough guess. This probably had something to do with the mysterious gray clothed men. The mysterious people probably already knew about the accident and started searching the forest for where he and Teng Xiao Yun were.

That secret treasure was so important to them and they had spent so much energy searching for it after a few decades. If they found out that Teng Xiao Yun had been saved, they definitely wouldn't give it up so easily.

It seemed that those people in Yan City would not be able to calm down either. Thinking about Commander Zhang Yu from Yan City once again, Zuo Feng unconsciously frowned.

'Ah, it's really happened again and again before everything has settled down. 'I'll have to try my best to get closer to the City Lord's Mansion. Otherwise, it'll be impossible for us to survive with just that little bit of strength of ours. Zuo Feng thought in his heart.

Zuo Feng's pupils suddenly contracted. There was a small team of three in his perception, a few hundred feet in front of him. This was the limit he could send out in one direction with his psychokinesis.

Sensing this, he immediately slowed down and stealthily headed in that direction. After a while, three grey robed figures appeared in Zuo Feng's line of sight. Although it was hard to see at night, those grey white clothes were the color that Zuo Feng would never forget. Zuo Feng's fist couldn't help but clench the moment he saw the three people in grey.

However, after hesitating for a while, Zuo Feng's hands loosened up a little. It was not a wise decision to fight with these people here. If he fought with the three late stage Bone Refining martial artists, he would not be able to gain anything. Zuo Feng fiercely glared at the three people and then dived towards the side.

Just as he was about to make a detour, a deep voice came from the three of them.

"That damned Teng Five, can he really escape?"

"How could that be? He's already lost his Jade Fragment Powder. If he wants to live for a few more days, he must come and find us. I think he was probably taken away by someone." A strange voice answered.

Hearing their conversation, Zuo Feng immediately stopped his footsteps and quickly lowered his body to look at the three people who had just spoken. This piece of information was extremely important to him at that moment.

The person who spoke earlier continued, "But from the information sent by Squad Three and Squad Four, it seems like the entire escort squadron has been annihilated?"

"Yes." "They have looked at it carefully. Although it has been destroyed by the beasts, they can still be sure that it is one of our people, and that Teng Five is not among them." The eccentric man said again.

"How could they be attacked by a large group of wild beasts? I heard that the scene was too horrible to look at. It's said that the reinforcements even encountered an extremely strong, huge wolf."

Hearing this, Zuo Feng's heart skipped a beat, 'It seems that this enormous wolf with the bloodline of a demon beast was much stronger than I had expected. It actually survived. That bald captain and his companions clearly lost in the end. When he thought of this, Zuo Feng could not help but feel a tinge of joy in his heart. However, when he thought of that huge wolf, he still felt a tinge of fear.

"That's right. I heard that the gigantic Wolf Devouring Beast was found with injuries all over its body. "When they saw our men, they rushed over like madmen. In the end, seven or eight of their reinforcements died, but none of them managed to kill them on the spot."

Zuo Feng could not help but curse this group of trash in his heart. This giant wolf was the most terrifying existence he had ever seen. It seemed that he had to be more careful in the future.

"If that Teng Five didn't die from the poison, he would still be in the forest. If he was alive, he would definitely be heading to Yan City." "So many of us have already searched more than ten small teams in the direction of Yan City. How is it that we still can't find anything after two days?"

"Stop complaining, I heard that what this person knows is very useful to the organization. We'll all be out of luck if we don't dig up what he knows. Speak less. Otherwise, if the captain hears it, the three of us might be punished. "

That weird man said again. His last sentence was very effective. After that, no one made a sound. They just continued to search in the forest.

Hearing this, Zuo Feng's heart couldn't help but sink. As he had expected, they were indeed unwilling to let their master go easily. It seemed that even if they knew that their master was going to die, they still had to find the body. They were well aware that the villagers had moved to Yan City. If they couldn't find their master's corpse, they would definitely make a move against the villagers in Yan City.

Moreover, from their conversation, Zuo Feng knew that it would be very difficult for him to return to Yan City safely. Since someone was searching in this direction, then there must be someone lying in ambush along the way.

Although Zuo Feng could rely on his spiritual power to investigate, this power was something he had just obtained. If the grey-clothed person had a way to hide from his detection, then he wouldn't have much luck.

After pondering for a moment, Zuo Feng had a plan in his mind. After carefully determining his position, Zuo Feng quickly dashed in another direction. Since they had already deployed so many men to search the area, he would not make a move against Yan Cheng for a short period of time. There was no need to rush back.

Originally, he had planned to take a look at that Mountain Thief's lair in a while, but since he couldn't return to Yan City now, he decided to first check out the bandits' location. Those bandits' corpses were hanging on the wooden stakes outside of the village. Zuo Feng still couldn't figure out the reason.

Zuo Feng also couldn't understand, at that time when he took his master away from that battlefield, it wasn't too far away, and they also stayed there for a long time, so why didn't they notice his presence and his presence?

What he didn't know was that the reinforcements had discovered the battlefield between the wild beasts and the gray-clothed man's group. After he had followed Lil 'Six and left, they had already moved towards the base that gray-clothed man was at.

The gray clothed man's reinforcements discovered the battlefield and battled with the giant wolf for a while. They naturally believed that since Teng Xiao Yun had escaped, he would definitely flee in the direction of Yan City. Even if they were hiding, they must be hiding somewhere in this direction. They did not know what had happened. If they had known about Zuo Feng's existence, they would not have made such a mistake.

Zuo Feng's speed was extremely fast. After confirming that there was no grey-clothed person in the direction of the bandits, he completely released his speed. He did not clash with any wild beasts on the way and arrived at the foot of a large mountain four hours later.

It was his first time here, but he had heard the villagers mention it countless times. The mountain before his eyes was the place where the bandits from the nearby villages had been oppressed for countless years. It was the latter half of the night. The night wind was blowing Zuo Feng's hair gently, exposing a pair of small black eyes that were staring coldly at the hill.

Zuo Feng didn't go up the mountain immediately, but looked at the pitch black mountain. This should be where the Mountain Thieves were, but strangely, there wasn't a single trace of light on the mountain.

Since the bandits' lair was here, there should be someone keeping watch. Even in their village, the night watchmen would shine. However, there were no lights on this small mountain in front of them. Not only that, the whole mountain was so quiet that it made people shiver. Zuo Feng had observed that there were no humans or beasts on this side of the mountain.

Since he was already here, Zuo Feng no longer planned to retreat without any gains. He didn't hesitate to lower his footsteps and silently make his way up the mountain.

After walking for a while, Zuo Feng discovered something was wrong. Along the way, he also saw many traps and traps, but they all seemed to have been destroyed by someone. With a face full of doubt, Zuo Feng continued to stealthily walk up the mountain. Even though the traps and traps had been destroyed, he was still very careful not to touch them. After all, he had come here alone. If anything happened to him, it would be difficult for him to escape unscathed.

Zuo Feng had originally planned to travel at full speed for a quarter of an hour, but it took him nearly two hours to reach the top of the mountain.

On the top of the mountain, there was a huge flat piece of land, which was at least twice the size of the village of Zuo Jia Village. A city wall piled with boulders appeared before his eyes. This city wall was several zhang lower and much more broken than the one in Yan City, but it was certainly much stronger than the defenses of the Zuo Family Village.

He raised his head to take a closer look and saw that there was not a single person on top of the tightly shut city gate. Zuo Feng's Spiritual Sense did not detect any signs of life.
