Chapter 69: The Hidden World

The moonlight quietly shines on the woods in the backyard, the branches reflect the hazy moon, and there are a few cold stars in the distant sky. The night is so quiet, and a faint fragrance blows it in.

On this dim night, there was a man sitting quietly in the most famous temple in Kairong Capital, but his heart was absolutely uneasy.

After a while, he stood up, pushed open the door, and came outside.

He looked at the absolutely not-so-bright moonlight in the sky from afar, and suddenly realized that for the first time in decades, his heart was in chaos.

An inexplicable color flashed in his eyes, and his eyes fell to somewhere, and finally made up some kind of determination.

His figure flashed and he had left this room that had lived in for more than 30 years.

Soon, he left the capital of Kairong.

If the masters in the Kairong Kingdom Master Hall knew that when there were four powerful men in the city who were not inferior to the first-line sky, they suddenly left the capital by relying on the strong men of the first-line sky whom they thought they were backing, they would definitely be panic and uneasy.

However, Zhan Tianfeng was extremely fast and was cautious in his actions, and there was no possibility of any leakage.

Moreover, before he received his permission, few people dared to enter his residence, so no one knew about his departure.

He ran all the way, especially after he left the capital, and immediately raised his speed to the limit.

When the first-line sky strong man rushed to the road with all his might, his speed was definitely beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

The moon sets and the sun rises. When the sun hangs in the sun, Zhan Tianfeng has already arrived on a mountain in the distance.

This is a high mountain in the central area of ​​Kairong Country. Although it is far away from the city, it is not as rare as the Hengshan lineage.

On this high mountain, there are dozens of ancient Taoist temples, and people often come from thousands of miles to light a stick of incense in the temple.

Zhan Tianfeng came to the foot of the mountain. He did not continue to use his light body technique to climb the mountain, but walked towards the mountain step by step like ordinary people.

Although there are not many people on the mountain, you can see some believers every time you walk a long way.

At this time, Zhan Tianfeng was like the most ordinary person, and he could not see his aura as a strong man in the first ray of heaven.

I met someone in the middle. Whether it was up or down, everyone smiled and nodded, and then parted. A harmonious atmosphere seemed to be filled with the entire mountain.

Finally, Zhan Tianfeng walked halfway up the mountain.

There is a small hut on the mountain road here, and there is a middle-aged Taoist priest in the house. People who often come here know that this Taoist priest lives in the small hut all year round, and anyone who wants to go up the mountain from here will be dissuaded by him.

This Taoist priest has a very good temper. When he persuades others, he always persuades them with kind words. Even if the pilgrims fist and kick, he never returns his hands and mouths.

However, when Zhan Tianfeng saw this middle-aged Taoist priest, a look of respect immediately appeared on his face.

If the masters in the Master Hall see this scene, they will definitely think that something is wrong with their eyes.

"Senior brother, you haven't seen each other for many years, and you are still the same as before." Zhan Tianfeng greeted with a smile.

The middle-aged Taoist priest also smiled and said, "Junior brother, aren't you going to retreat and practice hard for a long time in the world? Why did you come out of seclusion and see me after more than 30 years?"

A trace of bitterness appeared on Zhan Tianfeng's face. He sighed a long time ago and said, "Senior brother, why do you want to leave the seclusion? It's just that there are many concerns about state affairs in the world. There are most things that are not satisfactory. I am forced to leave the seclusion."

The middle-aged Taoist priest asked in surprise: "Junior brother, who forced you out of seclusion? It was related to the country. Could it be the Tufan Kingdom and the Titan Kingdom?"

Zhan Tianfeng shook his head and said, "Although it is a little involved with the Tufan Kingdom, it has nothing to do with it."

The middle-aged Taoist priest's face finally changed, and his lazy sitting posture also became solid at this moment, as if he suddenly changed from a wild Taoist to a respected and enlightened master.

"Since it is not the three major powers in the northwest, is it a problem from Northern Xinjiang or Dashen?"

Zhan Tianfeng shook his head again and said, "It's impossible in the northern border. As for Dashen, it's too far away from us. It's been calm in recent decades, so there's no trouble."

The middle-aged Taoist priest breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Since it's not from Dashen's trouble, that's fine."

Zhan Tianfeng smiled bitterly and said, "Senior Brother, although that trouble did not come from the Dashen Empire, for us, we are afraid that it is more dangerous than Dashen."

The middle-aged Taoist priest frowned and said, "Forget it, you can't explain clearly, so just go to see the master, anyway, he was still nagging you a few days ago."

Zhan Tianfeng rolled his eyes helplessly. As soon as the two met, his senior brother asked questions, and did not give him any chance to speak. When he wanted to explain in detail, he waved his hand and ignored it.

He sighed lightly, but Zhan Tianfeng also knew that this senior brother had always been the same. Since he said he didn't want to pay attention, it would be useless to say more.

After bowing to the Taoist, Zhan Tianfeng walked towards the top of the mountain.

In the distance, several pilgrims came over, pointed at the direction of Zhan Tianfeng's departure, and asked the middle-aged Taoist why he could go up.

The middle-aged Taoist suddenly salivated and explained silly, which was very different from the kind of demeanor he had when he was talking to Zhan Tianfeng just now, and he had no more imagination. It seemed that he was born with two faces.

Zhan Tianfeng walked quickly and left in an instant, but he also heard the trivial complaints from the small house on the mountainside.

In his heart, he was very puzzled by the choice of his senior brother, but he also understood that there were thousands of ways to choose, and that was a personal matter, and he could not interfere with it.

He walked vigorously and finally reached the top of the mountain.

Above the top of the mountain is a platform with hundreds of square meters.

If this platform is on the plain, it will naturally be nothing special, but if it appears on the top of the mountain, it will appear abrupt.

The feeling of being on the top of the mountain is actually just a bit strange, but if you look down from the sky, the open space will look particularly obvious. It is like a wooden stake inserted into the soil, which was cut into two sections with one knife, and this platform is the cut-off on one side.

But, looking at the present day, who has such divine power that can cut a mountain like a wooden stake and cut it off...

Zhan Tianfeng has been here many times, but every time he comes here, he feels dizzy.

But this feeling also stimulated him to continue to advance on martial arts and climb to a higher level of power.

He climbed the top of the mountain road and came to the other side.

Looking down from there, there is a cliff surrounded by clouds and mist. Here, it is very dangerous. If Sima Yin came here when he was desperate, he might not have jumped down from the top of the mountain without hesitation.

However, after Zhan Tianfeng arrived here, he raised his foot without hesitation.

He took a step forward and fell off the cliff and sank into the clouds.

Zhan Tianfeng's figure fell close to the cliff. Not long after entering the clouds and mist, he steadily stopped on a protruding boulder. Within the boulder, there was a huge cave.

The cave was pitch black without any light.

Zhan Tianfeng walked in big strides. He passed several stone gates familiarly and walked towards the largest stone chamber in the cave.

The cave has a large area, but there is no one inside. It was not until Zhan Tianfeng arrived at the largest stone gate that he stopped, knelt down respectfully, and kowtowed eight times.

It would be unbelievable if the people in Kairong Country who rely on Zhan Tianfeng as a god to see this scene.

An extremely old voice came from the stone chamber: "Tianfeng, why could it be you here?"

Zhan Tianfeng said respectfully: "Master, I'm here to see you."

"Since you are here, is it because there is any danger in the country? Even you can't handle it..."

"Master Shengming." Zhan Tianfeng's face showed a hint of shame. He lowered his head deeply and said, "I have let you down for your old entrust, so I'm embarrassed."

"Haha, what's so shameful about this?" the old voice smiled and said, "The tides are ebbing and flowing, and there are rising and falling. Even the huge empires in the east of the mainland will inevitably change dynasties, let alone the countries in the northwest. If the Kairong Kingdom is destined to decline, then let alone you are powerless, even if I, the old man, comes forward, will inevitably be this fate."

Zhan Tianfeng suddenly looked up, and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

Before his former master left, he held his hand and told him to protect this country.

For a hundred years, in order to complete this entrustment, he abandoned everything and practiced silently alone on martial arts, making himself the stabilizing needle of this country.

However, now when he came to the master again, his teacher, this formerly famous man who stomped his feet and trembled throughout the northwest, could actually say these frustrating and discouraging words.

For a moment, Zhan Tianfeng even felt a little dazed. Could it be that what he did over the years were all wrong?

Although it was separated by a thick stone wall, the person inside seemed to be able to see it through some method, or sense Zhan Tianfeng's expression and psychological state.

The old voice said again: "Kairong Country is my country and your country. As long as there is a possibility, we cannot let it disappear. Tianfeng, you have suffered over the years..."

Zhan Tianfeng felt warm in his heart, and the self-question just now disappeared completely. At the same time, a warmth and excitement surged in his heart, which made him feel difficult to feel.

He always thought he was very calm, calm and a little unkind, and even fearful. However, it was not until this moment that he realized that he still had times when he was not calm enough.

"Tell me, what happened?" The old man's voice came over again.

Zhan Tianfeng responded and told him without any concealment about the rise of He Yiming from Tianluo Kingdom. He did not hide or exaggerate at all, but sought truth from facts. Even the matter of asking Sima Yin to assassinate He Yiming honestly explained.

Of course, Sima Yin never returned. When He Yiming appeared again, not only did the concubine beside him become a innate strong man with terrifying cold-type true energy, but also had a powerful arm helper around him.

Three flowers gathered together, such a strong man would actually follow He Yiming, and it seemed that he was still serving him.

All of this made Zhan Tianfeng feel tremendous pressure.

If the situation continues to develop like this, then once He Yiming truly rises, there will be no place for Kairong Country to establish a foothold here.

When Zhan Tianfeng finished telling all this vividly, he immediately kept silent and knelt in front of the door and waited quietly.

After a long time, the old voice came from the door, but this time the voice was a little solemn.

"Fifteen-year-old Baisantian, seventeen-year-old Yishitian... You can achieve the innate realm in less than a year... There is also a Three Flowers Gathering. Haha, Tianfeng, aren't you telling a joke to your teacher?"

"Disciple doesn't dare." Zhan Tianfeng said with a wry smile. If possible, he wouldn't even believe all this.

The entire cave was in a suffocating and heavy atmosphere. Even Zhan Tianfeng held his breath because even he could not guess what choice the old man in the cave would make.

Outside the cave, the sun slowly moved westward from noon, and finally there was only the last red glow full of charm in the sky.

It was not until this moment that the old man's voice came again from the cave: "I understand, Tianfeng, you go back."

Zhan Tianfeng was stunned. When he came here, he wanted to tell the news, but he also wanted to ask for advice on how to deal with it. But now he didn't say anything, just to let him return, and he couldn't help but feel anxious. However, in front of his old man, even if he gave Zhan Tianfeng two courages, he would not dare to disobey at all.

Because he grew up under the halo of the old man since he was a child, and was carefully trained by the old man, he was able to achieve what he has today.
