In the depths of the intersecting Devil Beast, there was an inconspicuous hill. At this moment, a cave that had just been artificially reclaimed was also erected.
This cave was not big. It was only several zhang deep and just large enough to accommodate several people.
At this moment, Tang Feng slowly put Bao Tong down, and the spirit energy in his body constantly poured into his wound. The flow of energy that was channeling into Bao Tong's body finally started to show signs of healing, and even the aura in his body became a lot richer.
"I didn't expect to meet you again."
After a long while, Bao Tong finally managed to adjust to the injuries of his body, and coughed lightly as he spoke. However, there was an additional sense of relaxation in his turbid eyes. This kind of relaxed expression was what Tang Feng understood the most, it was the expression of hope he saw at the end of the great formation.
He was not the least bit unfamiliar with this expression, but from this sentence, he was able to confirm Tang Feng's previous guess.
When he met Bao Tong in the air, he already felt that his entire body's Spiritual Sense was blurry, and even his body was swaying. It seemed that the remaining spirit energy in his body was unable to withstand the injuries of his body, and he could fall at any time.
In addition to the shocking injuries he had sustained, it was enough to prove that he had experienced great battles before.
"Don't worry, no one followed me here. This place is the depths of Nine Nether Mountain that I randomly found."
Seeing Bao Tong's expression, Tang Feng quickly said. This was the true depth of the Nine Nether Mountain, and if it wasn't for the fact that Tang Feng had already stepped into the secret realm, he wouldn't dare to lower himself to Bao Tong and bring him here.
"I naturally feel at ease with you."
Tang Feng's words also caused Bao Tong to heave a long sigh of relief. Immediately after, his originally tense face relaxed a little. It had to be said that if it wasn't for his speed, he probably wouldn't have had the chance to come out again.
This feeling of having survived a calamity caused his heart to completely relax.
If not for the fact that he had felt Tang Feng's aura in front of him previously, he would probably have used all his strength in his confusion to give Tang Feng a fatal blow.
"Is it someone from the Umbra?"
With a frown, he looked at Bao Tong who was in an even more miserable state than last time, and killing intent gradually emitted from his body. Tang Feng had never had any good impression of people from the Umbra.
Back then, even he nearly went along the path of shadows. If it wasn't for the Tianyi Palace, the current Tang Feng was probably no different from Bao Tong.
This Nine Nether Mountain was practically isolated from the world, and other than occasional strong practitioners who entered to search for treasures, there were no other Human Clan that entered. Furthermore, with Bao Tong's intelligence, it was naturally impossible for him to expose himself so easily and be harmed.
To be able to force Bao Tong, whose Broken Void Stage had reached such a level, the other party was clearly not simple either.
The only person who could do this was a shadow, if he wasn't wrong.
"The aura on their bodies still can't get rid of them."
After letting out a sigh, Bao Tong's face had an additional tinge of tiredness. Having been entangled with the darkness for a long time, he was practically running for his life. If not for his last bit of willpower and the belief that Tang Feng would definitely appear, he would have given up long ago. This process was truly quite painful.
It turned out that after Tang Feng left, the Umbra also intensely chased after Bao Tong who was hidden deep within the Nine Nether Mountain. Although the strength of the warriors that was sent out was not at the peak, and they didn't even have any kind of secret realm, they were mostly at the Broken Void Stage and profound strength levels, and this kind of strength almost made Bao Tong busy fleeing for his life.
In a one on one battle, he was even confident in his own abilities, but his opponent had never attacked alone. This undoubtedly made Bao Tong feel even more pressured.
Although he had managed to escape by a fluke every time, the price for doing so was the extreme burden on his body and being heavily injured. If this continued, the final result would be quite miserable.
And this was absolutely not what he wanted to see.
"He escaped every time?"
Bao Tong's words made Tang Feng's heart sink, and then he asked again.
Although he hadn't interacted much with the shadow, Tang Feng had seen the shadow's methods before. Back then, within the Spirit Mountain Academy, he had originally planned to completely destroy the Reincarnated Man s controlled by the shadow, but he hadn't expected that the other party had already sensed his plan ahead of time and formed an absolute suppressive force within in an attempt to quietly deal with Tang Feng.
If it wasn't for the fact that Tang Feng's body had a Nine Nether Fire, a special existence that could even burn his soul, the one who would have suffered a loss that time would be Tang Feng.
From this point of view, it could be seen that the strength, skill, and temperament of a person from the Umbra were not something that ordinary people could compare with. If these existences wanted to do something, they would definitely have a thorough plan.
It was just like when Jin Fei lured Tang Feng to the Nine Nether Mountain back then. It was for the reason that he had absolute advantage in suppression.
From these examples, it was clear that the person in black was not someone who would casually attack, but he would definitely have full confidence when he did so!
Otherwise. It was also impossible to operate within the Jinyan Dynasty for so many years without anyone noticing!
But it was the first time Tang Feng had heard someone say that!
If Bao Tong was lucky, then what about the second and third time?
This type of group situation wasn't something that Shadow would do. Furthermore, Bao Tong's strength and methods, the Umbra, were extremely clear. To be able to escape by luck time and time again, this kind of low level mistake was definitely not something that a person in the Umbra could make.
These words made Bao Tong's entire nervous system tense up. Previously, when he was running for his life, he naturally did not notice this, and even felt that every time he survived was a gift from the heavens. But now, it seemed that this was not the case.
If what Tang Feng said was true, it was not because the shadow could not kill him, nor was it because he was lucky, but because there were still shadows on his body that still needed to be used.
"Their real target is you?!"
Bao Tong was not stupid, he could see everything that was happening behind him with just a few words, but when he thought of this point, even he was shaken.
It was clear to him that back then, the expert sitting in the shadows had been killed by the elder behind Tang Feng. One must know that that was Mystic Reincarnation Stage, and a expert of this level was enough to rule over anyone in the Jinyan Dynasty, but even so, his soul was still almost destroyed by the expert standing behind Tang Feng!
Although he was not clear as to why there was such an expert standing behind Tang Feng, he understood that the Umbra was not going to let the matter rest just like that.
It had to be known, although Mystic Reincarnation Stage could not even be considered a middle class warrior in the entire Shadow Pavilion, they were after all existences that were cultivated by the Shadow, and this kind of simple face-smacking act was not something Shadow could endure.
"I'm afraid it's not that simple."
Shaking his head, Tang Feng frowned.
If everything was just for revenge, then using Umbra's methods naturally did not need to use Bao Tong's relationship. After all, it would not be difficult to send an existence that could kill Tang Feng.
This did not seem to be the case.
Could it be his father?
Back then, Tang Feng suspected that the Umbra to have something to do with his own father's disappearance back then. Unfortunately, in the end, the aura of that night was not found on those people in the Umbra, so he gave up in the end. However, for some reason, there was an intuition that told Tang Feng that the incident that night might have something to do with the Umbra.
This was something that he would only know when he had the chance to find his father's whereabouts in the future, but Tang Feng had his enmity towards the Umbra at that time.
As a man of two lifetimes, he had reason to doubt his rather strong intuition.
Even though he was not sure what he was exactly in his previous life, that kind of intuition made Tang Feng clearly understand that all of this was definitely not as simple as it seemed.
Not knowing why, there was an anxiety that had been plaguing Tang Feng's mind ever since he became a Profound Stage Ranker, and that was, all of this was a huge conspiracy. He himself was just a pawn in the conspiracy, and every step he took, he was pushed forward by a strange force.
Even if it was Bao Tong's matter, it seemed as if everything had been arranged well.
Too many coincidences were mixed together in such a strange way. If it wasn't for him personally experiencing it, he wouldn't be able to truly believe it.
More importantly, Tang Feng didn't know when it had started, but he felt that there was a pair of eyes secretly staring at him from behind. This kind of aura that was secretly monitoring him was something that not even the Master or the old man that had helped him multiple times did not notice.
He smiled helplessly, as if all of this was just his imagination. However, he hoped that it was really just his imagination.
"First, think of a way to properly adjust your body's condition. As for the so-called control over your body from the Umbra, it might not be that simple."
The imprint of the shadow that landed on the body was something that the Tianyi Palace experts had long ago mentioned. Unless one became a strong practitioner from a secret realm, it would be impossible to destroy, because that aura of yours was completely intertwined with a martial practitioner's soul.
The risk was too great.
"I have a way to help you break through to the mystic realm in a short period of time. However, it might have some influence on your path of martial arts."
As he spoke till here, Tang Feng's voice also became deeper. Unless it was a Thunder Tribulation, it was impossible to completely shake off the control of the Umbra.
"As long as I can get rid of this limitless restriction, not only will I be able to get away from it, I'm also willing to help!"
Tang Feng's words made Bao Tong's eyes flash once again, and after that, without any hesitation, he shouted out immediately!
