As the saying goes, "Rules are rigid, but people are flexible." Although the four realms are restricted by the laws of Heaven and cannot be easily traversed, over thousands of years, through countless practices and trials, the beings of the four realms have long since reached a tacit consensus—
As long as the balance is not disrupted or turmoil is not caused, occasional exchanges between the four realms are not considered a violation of the rules of Heaven.
As a result, some "dark areas" have gradually emerged at the boundaries. Unlike the Yin-Yang boundary, these areas are formed later and are not under the jurisdiction of any boundary. They belong to the "three no's" zone - no management, no order, and no boundaries.
This place is a true chaotic metropolis, a melting pot of evil demons banished from the demon realm, serial killers wanted by the human world, and gods secretly descending to the mortal realm seeking thrills... a veritable mixed bag.
The absence of order means that chaos and conflict can coexist. Here, countless corpses are carried out every day and night. Some are not even carried away before they are trampled into a pile of minced meat and become nutrients for the land.
“In a place like that, life is the cheapest thing. People go there for only two purposes—” Diao Yu said solemnly as he tied Nan Xian’s cloak, “to seek pleasure and have fun.”
"According to intelligence from the Yin-Yang Realm, that old thief's sphere of influence has expanded into the Dark Zone, where he owns many properties. My current human body is too weak to enter the Dark Zone, and if I were to use my true form, I'm afraid I would expose my whereabouts and be detected by him—so this time, you'll have to go there yourself."
Seeing the worry on his face, Nan Xian smiled and patted his shoulder. "Don't worry, my intuition is always right, and I've always been lucky. You've given me so many things to run away and save my life, so I'm sure nothing will happen to me!"
Diao Yu's tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly. "Once inside, don't talk to anyone, don't eat any food offered by anyone, and retreat immediately after finding Ruizhu. If you encounter danger, throw away your magic weapon—if all else fails, just say my name. Although I have been asleep for hundreds of years, there should still be quite a few people in the Dark Zone who know me, and some of them owe me favors. They will help you."
He thought for a moment, reached behind him and groped around for a while, then gritted his teeth and pulled hard—
A tuft of snow-white hair lay conspicuously in his palm.
Nan Xian was stunned: "This is—?"
"My tail hair contains a trace of my essence, which can be used to control the Nine Heavens Fox Fire."
She took it, feeling the still slightly warm downy fur, her brows furrowing in frustration. "But I don't know how to use spiritual power. How am I supposed to use it? Is it like throwing a magic weapon?"
Diao Yu couldn't help but chuckle, so she coughed lightly to suppress her laughter and slyly kept everyone in suspense.
"The Nine Heavens Fox Fire originally belonged to you. Even though I have tamed it now, it is still loyal to you. You have only temporarily forgotten how to control it, but your soul has always been connected to it and has never been separated from it. When you really need to use it, you will understand."
Nan Xian was completely confused, but she still carefully put away the tuft of fur that felt wonderful to the touch.
"What's all this mystery...?"
With everything prepared, Nan Xian covered her head and face with a cloak and stood in the array drawn by Diao Yu.
He formed a hand seal in front of his chest and chanted incantations. The array gradually lit up with a fiery red light, which grew brighter and brighter until it enveloped Nan Xian's entire body.
When the light faded, Nan Xian's figure was no longer visible in the formation.
Diao Yu slowly lowered his hand, looking at the formation on the ground that was gradually turning to ashes, his expression inscrutable.
"My lord, I hope you can forgive me... I truly had no choice..."
