I could sense Black Crow's shock, and a slight smile crept onto his lips...
"Little black bird, see? I can fly. What do you want to say? Although I don't want to be your father, I don't mind if you call out to me..."
Black Crow's anger was reignited; he thought, "If I can't kill you by throwing you, then I'll kill you by beating you to death..."
So the crow made its move; a feather flew from its wing, heading straight for me…
The black raven's feathers were his weapons, more effective than any magical artifact he could forge...
Bang…
The feather struck me about a meter away. Looking at the feather so close to me, I felt a little worried. Saint-level was my current defensive limit, and Black Crow was at that level, so it was possible for it to penetrate my defenses…
The feather went out of control the next moment and bounced back, which relieved me...
Upon seeing the feather bounce back, Black Crow's eyes showed not only shock, but also a hint of fear...
He never doubted that I possessed no cultivation, but he was skeptical about whether I had any powerful protectors around me…
He threw me down, partly because I had provoked him, but also partly because he wanted to test whether I really had someone protecting me...
The moment his attack was deflected, he believed it…
But after believing it, he was filled with endless fear. A powerful figure he couldn't detect, yet who was always by his side—what kind of strength could do that? Wouldn't it be easy for that person to kill him?
Although it's unclear why such a powerful figure would protect a mere mortal, such a powerful person is certainly not someone he can afford to offend...
So without hesitation, he picked me up and put me back on his back, even though it was humiliating. He had no choice but to do it so as not to offend the hidden powerful figure...
And since he's secretly protecting me, as long as he wins me over, there shouldn't be any problems...
I was startled by the crow's sudden action of pulling me back onto its back, but I quickly figured out the key point...
A mischievous smile unconsciously crept onto my lips as I patted Black Crow on the back and said...
"Little black bird, what are you doing? I was flying just fine..."
Black Crow thought to himself, "Don't you know what I'm doing?"
If I don't do something, what if the powerful person behind you crushes me?
"Oh dear... flying is tiring, I was just worried you'd get tired..."
Black Crow was spouting nonsense with a straight face, flattering without batting an eye...
"Okay, I understand. I'd like to land and rest for a while..."
I thought to myself, since you've put it that way, I'll just go along with it...
"Okay..."
Black Crow's change of attitude was like flipping through a book; he seemed to want to obey me completely...
He had only one thought: play the submissive role now, and everything would be fine once he returned to the Forbidden Land of the Gods…
The black crow plunged straight down to the ground, its powerful holy aura spreading out, causing all living beings within a ten-mile radius to flee in terror. Once it landed, the surroundings were quiet except for the sound of the wind…
Demon Cloud Sect Market!
Tuoba San and Yuan Xiu, having developed a mutual respect, decided to part ways...
Tuoba San suddenly called out to Yuan Xiu and said
"Brother Yuan, you don't mind if I ask you for someone, do you? I promised my father..."
Yuan Xiu stopped, his gaze shifting as he looked at Tuoba San. He knew, of course, who Tuoba San was talking about; aside from his ex-fiancée, Tuoba San didn't know anyone else…
Tuoba San did not disturb Yuan Xiu's thinking and waited for him to make a decision...
After careful consideration, Yuan Xiu spoke.
“Brother Tuoba, this Murong Xuanxuan has some connections, otherwise I wouldn’t have brought her back to the Demon Cloud Sect. If you take her away, it’s tantamount to offending the power behind her…”
Upon hearing Yuan Xiu's explanation, Tuoba San frowned in confusion...
Because the two were betrothed since childhood, they knew something about each other's families...
Although both families are prominent in the area, they are far inferior to those small cultivation sects. Where would they get a powerful background?
But Yuan Xiu doesn't seem to be deceiving me. Could it be that the Murong family has a story I don't know?
Tuoba San thought back for a moment. The Murong family was indeed a later addition. There were many speculations about the origins of the Murong family in the area, but none of them had been confirmed, and the Murong family had never offered any explanation...
"Brother Yuan, you know my personality..."
Tuoba San stared intently at Yuan Xiu, his meaning clear: regardless of background, he could afford to offend him…
Yuan Xiu hadn't expected Tuoba San to be so persistent, but without a persistent heart, it would be impossible to continuously break through in martial arts...
"Brother Tuoba, I can let you take Murong Xuanxuan away, but if the forces behind her come looking for her, I will put all the blame on you. Are you sure you can handle all of this?"
Tuoba San knew that Yuan Xiu wanted him to back down, but he had never backed down in the face of difficulties, so naturally he wouldn't give up just because of a few words from Yuan Xiu...
"I'll take on any danger, no matter what it may be..."
Tuoba San said very calmly…
Yuan Xiu looked at the fearless Tuoba San and knew that he had no choice but to give it to him...
"Is it worth it just to please your father?"
Yuan Xiu couldn't help but ask the question that had been bothering him, but he had already had Murong Xuanxuan brought over. The reason he asked this was just a last-ditch effort...
"My father has sacrificed so much for me. Anything that makes him happy is worth it..."
Tuoba San spoke very seriously, clearly recalling the day his family was wiped out…
"Since that's the case, I won't try to persuade you any further. However, I'll give you one last piece of advice: the Murong family has connections to the Central Continent, so you should still be careful..."
After finishing his sentence, Yuan Xiu turned and left, abandoning Murong Xuanxuan without a trace of regret…
Murong Xuanxuan is merely a bargaining chip, and it's hard to say how effective she will be. Therefore, keeping her or not makes little difference. Besides, Yuan Xiu is going to venture into the Central Continent, and taking Murong Xuanxuan along would only be a burden...
Looking at the unconscious Murong Xuanxuan, a barely perceptible hint of hatred still flickered in Tuoba San's eyes. Being publicly jilted and humiliated was a disgrace to any man...
Thinking about the revenge method my father mentioned, it will soon be implemented...
He carried Murong Xuanxuan as if he were a load of trash, chasing after the direction the black crow had gone...
"Senior Ling, is the Qingyun Sect located in the Central Continent?"
Tuoba San asked Ling Feng in his mind...
"That's right, you can join the Qingyun Sect, where you can help me investigate who was involved in framing me back then, and also help me collect materials to restore my physical body..."
Ling Feng's words were filled with anticipation, a longing to return to his peak...
