Chapter 767: Guests Arrive
Zuo Feng felt that his speculation was not as vague as before, but finally cut into some key points, but there were still some things he couldn't figure out.
Before, in Linshan Villa, although he had been constantly thinking about these problems. But at that time, he was still participating in the competition, and it was impossible to say that he had no emotional fluctuations. But now he was completely relaxed, and his mind seemed to have become clearer.
The existence of Linshan Villa seemed to have a great connection with the divine beast, but there were still many things about this connection that he couldn't explain clearly. For example, the pseudo-beast crystal that could soften the essence of monsters, demons and fierce beasts, what was the function of this beast crystal, or what was the purpose of the person who made it.
No one would do these just for fun, unless they could have the soul fusion skill like Zuo Feng, so as to absorb these energies for their own use and obtain the huge energy. Otherwise, they could only feel it once like other warriors, and as for competing and practicing in it, it didn't seem to have much meaning.
According to what Zuo Feng knew, except Ning Xiao, he was probably the only one in the world who knew the soul fusion skill. Even if other people spent so much money to make these, it would be meaningless.
In addition, Ning Xiao's mansion is extremely mysterious, and the location can only be roughly determined to be in the Ancient Wilderness Empire. The Ancient Wilderness Empire is hundreds of thousands of miles away from here, and it is a bit far-fetched to force the two to be linked.
However, this Linshan Villa is surprisingly similar to the mysterious mansion that he has visited in his mind, but there are some differences in some details. But overall, the two must be closely related, but what does this relationship represent? This made Zuo Feng unable to figure out.
Although some things were unclear, Zuo Feng locked his eyes on the black crystal. Since this black crystal is a pseudo-beast crystal, it should be helpful for his soul fusion.
Before, when he was in Linshan Villa, he did not dare to practice this set of skills in front of everyone, but he speculated that if he practiced the skills, he should be able to absorb the huge energy in it. When he thought that his soul fusion skills could evolve again, Zuo Feng felt a dryness in his mouth.
Zuo Feng, lying on the bed, kept thinking about various problems and possibilities. Sometimes he was excited, sometimes he felt worried, and he couldn't fall asleep.
When the competition in Linshan Villa ended, it was almost midnight. The reason why it took so long was because Zuo Feng spent too much time in the formation of the last competition. Originally, according to Su Lan and the city lord's plan, it should have ended more than an hour ago, but it took so much time because Zuo Feng didn't come out of the formation.
In fact, they didn't know that Zuo Feng had been in the formation for five or six hours. It was just because the flow of time on both sides changed, so they thought Zuo Feng had only stayed for one hour.
They didn't know these things, and Zuo Feng certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to say it out. Although there are many things that can be done in one hour, they don't care too much about the complicated formation. But if they knew that Zuo Feng had stayed in it for five or six hours, those old guys would definitely think of many problems.
In addition to the things that bothered Zuo Feng, Zuo Feng also received an item before leaving the villa. This item was given to him by Elder Zhong. It was a small wooden sign shaped like a flame, with the word "Duobao" engraved on it.
This wooden sign itself was made of precious fire spirit wood, but it would be a big mistake to just treat it as an ordinary fire spirit wood. Because the fire spirit wood used to make this wooden sign, according to Zuo Feng's judgment, should be more than 500 years old. Although it has not reached 1,000 years, it is very close.
Using such a rare fire spirit wood to make a wooden sign, you can imagine how great its meaning will be. From this, it can be seen that Elder Zhong is indeed worthy of his name of Duobao.
When handing the wooden sign to Zuo Feng, Elder Zhong specifically mentioned the meaning of this wooden sign. This is a Duobao sign owned by a few people in Duobao Pavilion, and it is an item that only internal elders can own.
Duobao Pavilion is divided into external deacons, internal deacons, external elders and internal elders. The work of the deacon is mainly to collect items from the outside, and to buy, sell and trade.
The work of the elders is similar to that of the principal. The external elders mainly lead the deacons, while the number of internal elders is very limited, but they have the right to command others. They can be said to be the most powerful people in Duobao Pavilion except for Elder Zhong.
Originally, Zuo Feng was not very interested in Duobao Pavilion, but just when he was about to refuse, he suddenly remembered the intelligence network of the Su family when he was in Xinjun City before, so he took it after hesitation.
For Zuo Feng, having no worries is his biggest advantage. Since leaving Ye Lin, he has been alone, and no one even knows his true origins.
He can naturally make his actions very flexible and unrestrained, but he is also alone and helpless. Even some of the information he most desires to obtain needs to be obtained through some unconventional ways. Although Zuo Feng's ability to collect intelligence is not bad, those intelligence are mainly based on rumors, and their accuracy cannot be guaranteed.
But with the backing of Duobao Pavilion, Zuo Feng had countless eyes and ears, and he could easily get the information he wanted. And according to what Zhong Lao said, he did not need to be bound by Duobao Pavilion, but only needed to help Duobao Pavilion under certain conditions and in some special circumstances, which was the main reason why he finally decided to join.
He flipped the Duobao card in his hand for a long time, thinking about how to use Duobao Pavilion to spend these two days safely in Linshan County City. As long as the Linshan County City selection was over, he believed that there would be less trouble.
Yao Zhen and Su Lan must be staring at him, including the city lord You, who originally showed goodwill and later became a fence-sitter. These people are more or less threatening to him. If he wants to spend these two days safely, he must be fully prepared.
There is another person Zuo Feng did not ignore, that is the seventh son of the painter. This person is actually quite scheming, but his performance in Linshan Villa was far beyond his expectations, which made him confused and had no chance to make adjustments.
But the competition in the other garden has ended. This painter also has a lot of influence in Linshan County. It is not certain what Hua Qi will do to him. This is also a person he must pay more attention to.
Just like this, Zuo Feng lay on the bed. After thinking about the black crystal and formation in the other garden, he also thought about the relationship between the various forces here. He didn't know when he fell asleep.
But Zuo Feng felt that he had just fallen asleep when he heard the sound of someone knocking on the door. Zuo Feng opened his eyes with a face full of resentment. He knew that he had not had a good rest in the past few days. If this continued, he really didn't know if he could hold on until the end of the competition.
The special rhythm used in the knock on the door, Zuo Feng only needed to recognize it a little bit to know that the person outside was Amber. After gently agreeing, Zuo Feng reluctantly climbed up from the bed. While walking slowly towards the door, Zuo Feng also tidied up his clothes while trying to open the door.
But the moment his finger touched the bolt, Zuo Feng's hand retracted as if he had been electrocuted, his sleepy eyelids suddenly widened, and a cold light flashed in his pupils.
While taking a deep breath, Zuo Feng moved aside and raised his toes to lightly pick it up. When the bolt was opened, there was a slight sound of wood colliding. Almost at the same time as the sound came, the originally closed door was instantly broken open by someone outside.
The door was broken open by someone with great force and a sharp weapon, and a man in gray clothes rushed in like a ghost. This person's cultivation has reached the middle stage of tempering muscles, but his body movement speed is first-class fast, and the long sword in his hand is extremely sharp. As soon as he entered the room, he released a strong murderous intent.
With this person's cultivation, breaking the door is as easy as passing through a piece of paper, but he waited so hard for Zuo Feng to open the door, just to let Zuo Feng approach the door without any defense, so that he could have the opportunity to suddenly attack.
But what he didn't expect was that Zuo Feng was not standing behind the door at all, but standing on the side of the door. His sword was full of momentum, but after the sword stabbed into the air, he found that Zuo Feng was standing next to him, and it was too late to change his moves.
Zuo Feng raised his palm and chopped it towards the man's neck. If he hit the opponent, he would faint on the spot. But this man also reacted quickly. Seeing Zuo Feng's palm coming, he turned sideways to avoid it.
But after all, one party was prepared, and the other party thought he would hit it, but something unexpected happened. The hasty response was particularly embarrassing. The assassin only avoided the vital part of the back of the neck, and the shoulder could not be avoided no matter what.
But this assassin was also a person with rich combat experience. After knowing that he could not avoid this attack no matter what, he pushed his shoulder forward violently and used the fleshy part of his shoulder to hit the opponent head-on.
His idea was certainly good, because if he took the initiative to collide with Zuo Feng, it would not allow Zuo Feng to use all his strength, and the damage to his body would be minimized.
But he overlooked a problem, or the person who sent him did not explain Zuo Feng's situation clearly. Zuo Feng's strength far exceeded half of the warriors in the early stage of tendon hardening, or even the middle and late stages of tendon hardening. Even if the power of this attack could not be fully exerted, it still had terrifying destructive power.
"Crack"
At the same time as a crisp bone-breaking sound rang out, the gray-clothed man also groaned from his throat, but the sound was a little weird, a bit like a person burping after drinking water.
At the same time as the sound came out, the assassin's body flew directly to the side, and it looked like half of his body should have been disabled.
