C79 Leaving the Mountain Stronghold

"Empty Body!"

An Xiong had an expression of inexplicable shock. As he watched the old woman's figure gradually fade into the night sky, he still silently repeated the shocking words that the old woman had just mentioned, in silence.

That was a physique that every martial artist yearned for even in their dreams. Why would the old woman say that she had reached such a boundary before she left? Even someone as outstanding as the old woman wouldn't be able to see anything without personally inspecting it.

After a moment of hesitation, An Xiong subconsciously looked toward the interior of the house. It seemed that it was most likely due to this quiet room. After carefully inspecting the room, he found that there was nothing abnormal other than the slight sour smell in the air. Turning his head to look at the few people standing blankly outside the door, his gaze first fell onto Anya, before shifting his gaze to the confused Uncle Tian.

Anya usually liked to be clean. Her meditation room was always the cleanest and cleanest. Forget about this sour stench, it was only normal for a fragrant aroma to assail one's nostrils.

Since Anya was able to reach the state of emptiness, he didn't even dare to think about it. Could it be that he was an old man? But with his age, there shouldn't be any way for him to change his body. Unless he had the assistance of some astonishing genius, but after thinking about it for a bit, this possibility was extremely low. He slowly walked out of the quiet room, his heart filled with doubts.

"Mayor, do you have any doubts?" Uncle Tian's voice was not loud, and only the two of them could hear him.

An Xiong hesitated for a moment before saying, "Ya Er, you should go back and rest. There's nothing else that needs to be done here."

Anya also seemed to sense that something was wrong with her father's expression. She had originally wanted to congratulate him on reaching the Emptiness Realm. But seeing her father's current state, how could she dare to say more. After nodding slightly, she quickly left. At this moment, she was still worried if Zuo Tianlang had gotten any better.

"In this period of time, other than Ya Er, who else used the quiet room here?"

An Xiong's voice was somewhat low and deep. This old woman's arrival was too strange. Even now, he still hadn't figured out what she was looking for. Furthermore, with this old woman's special status within the empire, the things she was looking for were definitely not ordinary. As a result, there was no trace of a smile on An Xiong's face, only a grave and solemn expression.

"Ever since you went into closed-door training, the young miss had only focused on cultivation for half a month in the beginning and had not continued cultivating."

Uncle Tian's first sentence made An Xiong let out a long sigh. His daughter's talent was not bad, but she was far too lazy on the path of cultivation. He could guess that aside from those more than half a month of cultivation, the other months were spent hunting outside the city and playing around in the city.

"Actually, there is something I wanted to report to you a long time ago. It's just that this old woman came in too strangely and hasn't been mentioned yet." It was common for a group of villagers to move to the village from the Zuo Family a few days ago. That day, I accompanied Eldest Miss out of the city to hunt and help them out. Eldest Miss liked a little girl from the Zuo family village very much, and then brought her back to the clan. "

"Could it be that this girl is cultivating in this quiet room?" The doubt in Ah Xiong's heart clearly increased.

"Cough …" Cough, I did not explain clearly. The one who is in this quiet room is not that little girl, but her brother, a young man named Zuo Feng. " Uncle Tian said with an embarrassed cough.

"Oh, that's weird." An Xiong was clearly interested in this so-called strange matter.

Uncle Tian was facing the mayor, so he naturally wouldn't hide anything. From that day on, everyone went to the Fragrant Storey to eat. Afterwards, there was a conflict with Steward Wang under Zhang Yu's command. Zuo Feng had monopolized two second or third level Refinement Stage young martial artists, so Steward Wang's attack did not kill them.

The youth had not only recovered from his injuries, but he had also broken through to the eighth level of the Body Strengthening Stage and removed all the impurities from his body.

"After receiving a single blow from Steward Wang, he was able to charge two levels over the course of a few days. And he even managed to expel the impurities from his body?" An Xiong was completely shocked by what his uncle had said. He repeated what his uncle had said to himself.

A small mistake had been made by An Xiong, which was what Uncle Tian meant by expelling impurities. The left wind itself expels all the impurities from the internal organs, bones, tendons, and muscles.

However, Uncle Tian did not experience the process of the impurities evolving into his body. Thus, what he said seemed to be just a small part of it. An Xiong took it for granted that some of the impurities had been expelled from Zuo Feng's body. However, he did not know that Zuo Feng's body was now an existence that surpassed the "Empty Body".

"Break through body strengthening stage level 8." "Does this mean that before he reached the stage of Body Tempering, he had already reached the state of 'Emptiness Realm'?" An Xiong's eyes lit up slightly, and his interest in this youth was completely piqued.

"Where is this young man? Let me meet him." An Xiong hurriedly said.

"This …" Uncle Tian was slightly embarrassed and started to stutter. He then told Su Hao about the process of Zuo Feng leaving and the reason behind it.

"Why didn't Elder Tian send people to protect him? This kind of person must be caught in our City Lord's Mansion. If anything happens to him, it will be a huge loss." There was a hint of displeasure in An Xiong's voice.

"The Mayor doesn't know that there seems to be some conflict between the youth's Zuo Family Village and the bandits outside the city. Zhang Yu has been getting restless recently. I think it's best not to break the rules and not to interfere outside the city. That's why I didn't send anyone to go with her. "

"Uncle Tian, you are confused." Although this rule cannot be broken, you can still send people with other names. How can you let such a person go so easily just because of a single rule? "

It was obvious that he was extremely interested in Zuo Feng. He was also somewhat dissatisfied with Uncle Tian's arrangement. If it was anyone else, they would probably be unable to control themselves and start cursing loudly.

"Cough … Rest assured City Lord, I think this young man is very quick-witted." Even though his cultivation is not very high, his combat power is extremely shocking. If he finishes up his business, he will definitely come back to the City Lord's Mansion. " Uncle Tian also felt the City Lord's anger and awkwardly explained.

"Why is that?" At this moment, An Xiong's attention was completely focused on the youth called Zuo Feng. He immediately asked this without even thinking.

"This young man's sister is currently in Miss Anya's house. Anya treats this little girl like her own sister, so if Zuo Feng were to return to the city, he would definitely come to the City Lord's Mansion." Uncle Tian immediately explained.

"This little girl usually messes around, but she really did a good job this time. Let her take good care of that little girl."

An Xiong sighed and continued, "There's also that old woman. She doesn't leave the city for a single day, so you have to be careful. If anyone offends her, then just end up apologizing in front of that person." During this period of time, Elder Tian can secretly check what the old woman is looking for, but he must not mess with the mysterious old woman.

Even though he was very concerned about Zuo Feng, at this moment, the one An Xiong was most concerned about was the mysterious old woman.

Uncle Tian nodded with a troubled expression. The mayor had told him not to provoke anyone since it was an impossible mission. He originally wanted to mention the strange illness that Zuo Tian had gotten, but after thinking about it for a while, he decided to give up. At this moment, nothing was as important as what the old woman had done.

After Uncle Tian received the orders, he immediately left to make the arrangements, leaving City Lord An Xiong by himself, standing outside the quiet room in a daze. The eastern horizon had already begun to shine slightly.

At this moment, Zuo Feng had finally left the underground chamber and walked out of a secret passageway in the main building with his luggage that was bulging on its back.

At this moment, other than fatigue, Zuo Feng was wounded all over. For someone like him who was a completely layman, who had encountered danger many times while he was searching for an exit in the secret chamber below, he had to rely on his alertness and caution to find the exit in such a safe manner. Even so, there were still a few new wounds on his body.

Seeing that the eastern horizon had already become slightly brighter, Liu Ming did not dare to stay any longer. Carrying the bag on his back, he quickly left the mountain stronghold. He didn't forget to be careful when he came down from the top of the mountain.

Although the traps and traps had all been destroyed, he had been busy the whole night in the quiet room. He was like a frightened bird, afraid that he would trigger another deadly trap. Right now, even if there was the slightest sound coming from beneath his feet, he would still subconsciously tighten his body.

After leaving the bandits' village, Zuo Feng made sure of the direction and headed towards Yan City. At this moment, Zuo Feng hadn't closed his eyes for a few days. As he walked, he could feel waves of pain from the wounds on his body.

After walking for a while, Zuo Feng also felt that it was inappropriate. If something unexpected happened, he would not be able to use half of his battle prowess.

After finding a big tree, he used his hands and feet to reach the top of the tree within a few breaths. He found a spot with dense branches and spread out his spiritual force to check his surroundings. Although wild beasts rarely came out during the day, Zuo Feng was currently in a very bad condition. If he was ambushed by wild beasts while he was resting, it would not be a joke.

After making sure that there were no wild beasts around for a few hundred feet, Zuo Feng finally took off the big bags on his body. He changed the medicine for the injury on his leg and applied some hemostasis powder for the new wound on his body. Then, he found a comfortable position and lay down on a tree to rest.

At this moment, the small beast was quite spirited. It came out from Zuo Feng's bosom and laid on a tree branch to look around. At this moment, Zuo Feng's eyelids were starting to get into a fight. He warned the little beast not to run around and fell asleep on the tree branch just like that.

After an unknown period of time, a small beast's urgent cry came from Zuo Feng's ears. Although the scream was not loud, because it was right beside his ear, he immediately woke up from his sleep.

Puzzled, he looked at the small beast next to him. He immediately heard a faint sound coming from far away. Although it wasn't loud, he could hear many people talking to each other. At this moment, Zuo Feng's alertness had reached its peak, and his mental energy had also spread towards the direction of the voice.

Not too long after, Zuo Feng let out a sigh of relief. He could tell that the group of people were not that of the man in gray, because there were dozens of people gathered there. Although he couldn't hear what they were talking about, it didn't seem like they were talking about a small group of people.

Just as he was about to make his move, Zuo Feng suddenly felt that his body was much lighter than before he had rested. He checked the wound and found that it was almost healed. Aside from the severe injury on his leg which he had yet to fully heal, the other minor injuries had already completely healed.

Zuo Feng was stunned for a while, but he couldn't think of a reason, so he decided to just ignore it. He quietly slipped down from the tree where he was hiding and snuck towards where the sound came from. As the distance was not too far, Zuo Feng soon arrived at the place where the group of people were. When he saw that group of people, he became alert again and muttered to himself.

"How could it be a merchant caravan?"
