I looked at Black Crow, gave him an innocent smile, and thought to myself, "Let's see what you do now..."

"Father…"

Tuoba San immediately tried to rush to my side to protect me, but he found himself unable to move; the Black Crow's holy might had sealed off the surrounding space…

Black Crow's mind went blank for a moment. As a powerful figure, keeping his word was a given, but he came to kill me, and his goal was to kill me...

However, he just said that whoever helps him find me will not be killed. At this point, I helped him find me, so I became the person he promised not to kill…

Black Crow felt his CPU wasn't enough; this was too brain-draining, too chaotic...

And I think I just called him the little black bird. Although that's true, when he appeared, he had clearly enlarged his body and was already quite big, okay?

He shook his head violently, banishing the jumbled thoughts from his mind. He wondered what he was thinking. Was this the time to worry about size? The time to decide whether or not to kill him…

"Hey! Little black bird..."

Before I could finish speaking, Black Crow couldn't help but roar.

"Shut up, you're the child, your whole family is a child..."

I glanced down at my tent, then said confidently.

"You are a little bird, you can't fly very high even if you want to..."

My sudden singing almost made Black Crow faint with anger. He thought to himself, "Who is this guy? He came here to kill me, and not only did I jump out, but I also went and provoked him like crazy. Isn't this obviously courting death?"

"Enough, go to hell..."

Black Crow raised his hand to kill, but I shouted loudly...

"You just promised not to kill me..."

"My promise is that I won't kill the person who provided you with the information..."

"I'm the one who provided my information, there's nothing wrong with that..."

These words completely baffled Black Crow. He wanted to refute them, but it felt like the whole thing was stuck in a vicious cycle…

"Hey, little blackbird, can't you think this through? Let me tell you, I have a master protecting me. Be careful he doesn't kill you..."

Black Crow was stunned, while the other prodigies couldn't help but complain, "The expert you're talking about isn't Tuoba San, who's being suppressed by the Holy Might, is he? It doesn't seem like it'll work to bring him up now, does it?"

"Hmph! So what if you're a master? In front of the Forbidden Land of the Gods, who dares to presume to call themselves a master?"

Black Crow scoffed, his eyes gleaming with arrogance, but his divine sense swept across the surroundings again and again, searching for any potential expert...

"Little black bird, watch your mouth. Don't blame me if you get killed..."

Hearing my confident words, Black Crow looked around suspiciously, but still found nothing...

He realized that I was the one who killed his master, but I had no cultivation. There must be another expert who could kill his master's power projection. Their strength must be unimaginably powerful...

Unconsciously, he believed what I said...

"Stop hiding, I see you..."

Black Crow, with his hands behind his back, spoke in a profound and enigmatic tone…

I stared at him blankly, wondering if, by sheer chance, someone was actually hiding in the shadows?

But after Black Crow finished speaking, there was no sound for a long time before I realized that this fool had actually cheated. It was really unexpected...

Black Crow didn't wait for the expert to appear, and for a moment he didn't dare to really make a move. He wondered to himself, could it be that the other party was waiting for him to make a move?

Filled with doubt and uncertainty, countless theories flashed through his mind in an instant, but he couldn't be sure which one was the truth...

Seeing my confident and fearless attitude, he felt that there must really be a master hiding in the shadows. Otherwise, why would a mortal with no cultivation show no fear of a strong person like him?

He thought to himself, "Since that expert is protecting me, why don't you just take me away?"

Whether they kill me or not, as long as they keep me by their side, this expert will definitely appear. Even if he doesn't, once we return to the Forbidden Land of the Gods, even if the Heavenly Dao descends, their own master can still eliminate him. At that time, the one who should be feared is the person hiding in the shadows...

Thinking of this, he looked at me and sneered.

"In that case, I'll trouble you to come with me..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he grabbed my arm and shot into the air, disappearing in an instant...

Once the black crows disappeared and Tuoba San regained his freedom, he immediately tried to chase after them, but Yuan Xiu grabbed him...

"Brother Yuan, let's end today's duel for now. I need to go rescue my father..."

Tuoba San said anxiously…

"Brother Tuoba, don't be impulsive. Chasing after him like this is just suicide..."

Yuan Xiu said with a hint of concern…

"I appreciate Brother Yuan's kindness, but that's my father. Even if it means death, I will go to save him. Our battle will have to wait..."

Tuoba San wanted to break free from Yuan Xiu's obstruction...

Having finally encountered a worthy opponent, how could Yuan Xiu watch him go to his death? So he quickly comforted him, saying...

"Didn't you see your father say he has a powerful protector? So he's not in immediate danger. That person was a Saint-level expert; going now would be suicide. You'd be better off thinking of a safer way to rescue him..."

Tuoba San knew Yuan Xiu was telling the truth, but he couldn't hide his anxiety...

"But…"

Tuoba San wasn't afraid of death; what he feared was that his father might be in danger...

"Brother Tuoba, didn't you see that the people around your father are gone? They must have been forcibly taken away by some hidden experts, probably because they were afraid your father would be left unattended. So you don't need to worry too much..."

What you need to do now is to increase your strength. Today's duel ends here. For neither of us, today is a good time to decide the winner. Only after seeing a true master will we realize that there is a vast world outside...

I'm going to venture into the Central Continent; this battle will have to wait until our next meeting..."

Listening to Yuan Xiu's words, Tuoba San felt they made sense, and the two developed a mutual respect...

The Western Continent is a remote and harsh land, where spiritual energy is scarce, and rare and precious materials are so rare that they can't be found even once every few hundred years. Cultivation resources are extremely scarce...

For Yuan Xiu, who had already broken through to the Martial Emperor realm, this moment was like a caged bird, trapped here and never able to fly high. Only by leaving the cage could he spread his wings and soar...

“Brother Yuan is right. Now that we know they are from the Forbidden Land of the Gods, we should just chase after them, strengthen ourselves, and find a way to rescue Father…”

Hearing Tuoba San's words, Yuan Xiu nodded in relief. He was genuinely worried that Tuoba San would recklessly charge forward and lose such a good opponent...

Leaving the market, the black crow transformed into a giant crow, grabbing me in its claws. Feeling the wind whistling past my ears, my mood was far from pleasant…

"Little black bird, I want to sit on your back..."

I shouted at the black crow…

Upon hearing my words, Black Crow nearly lost his balance and fell off the plane. He hadn't expected me to dare make such an outrageous request...
