Tianbei area, outside the restricted area.

Between the vast sky and earth, the loess is vast and cloudless.

In all directions, twenty sky-reaching dazzling light pillars rise from the earth, extending out regular lines, intersecting and connecting with each other, carving out an extremely huge formation on the boundless sky.

——The indestructible sky-locking formation completely locks the vast and vast restricted area.

Whenever the dark fog attempts to break through the formation, light will immediately light up in the corresponding place, turning it into an insurmountable barrier!

And in this stalemate, the two forces actually maintained a strange balance.

Suddenly, in the void close to the earth, a dark crack was torn open out of thin air, and a young and thin figure walked out of it, with a pale face and serious eyes.

——There is lingering fear in my heart.

Even if you have left the restricted area, even if you light the green lantern again, even if you gain new magical powers...

But that unforgettable glance still made Jiang Nan feel uneasy.

That kind of pure and simple "rules" seemed to have the power to erase all existence in this world, which made him instinctively feel extremely resistant.

In other words, even if the positions of both parties are put aside, from an existential point of view, everything in this world has an incompatible relationship with the dark eyes in the restricted area.

It's like... the meaning of the birth of one existence is to completely destroy the other existence.

Thinking of this, Jiang Nan couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

——When he had never really come into contact with it before, he had always thought that the so-called restricted area was probably some natural or man-made dangerous place. Even if it was extremely dangerous for mortals and even ordinary immortals, it was essentially just a desperate place.

But now, after experiencing it personally, he realized that it was not that simple.

Coupled with the previous statements of the Taoist of the Shrine and the crow's ability to confuse people's minds, it can even be determined that the last battle between Qianli and Lidao was closely related to the so-called restricted area.

I'm afraid... we need to reconsider the purpose and severity of the restricted area.

But vaguely, he also guessed that the current condition of that terrifying eye that made him feel palpitations should not be very good. Otherwise, he would not be allowed to sit cross-legged and meditate outside the white mist for dozens of days.

It's not like a sky-locking Jedi formation can lock the restricted area.

After a long time, Jiang Nan let out a long breath, stopped looking at the vast and dark restricted area, and walked in the opposite direction.

No matter what, the planned plan still needs to be done step by step.

Now, he lit the green lantern, and this trip to the restricted area was successfully concluded.

Then...it depends on the side of the Taozu of the Shrine.

However, just when he was about to master the art of divine movement and leave the Sky Monument Domain.

Ga——

A hoarse and harsh cry came from his right shoulder.

Jiang Nan was suddenly startled and turned his head, only to find that the void over there was calm and there was no abnormality at all.

It was as if it was just an illusion.

But the next moment, a wisp of black mist floated from his shoulders, slowly condensed in mid-air, and gradually turned into the shape of a crow.

It has a palm-sized body, dark feathers, empty eyes, and an aura full of ominousness and darkness...

There is no difference between them and the tide of black crows in the restricted area!

This is not over yet!

When it first appeared, the black crow condensed from Jiang Nan was as mindless as a puppet, but as it looked at him, a hint of living emotion gradually emerged in its eyes...

Then, it grew rapidly at a jaw-dropping speed! In just the blink of an eye, those eyes became extremely agile!

At that moment, Jiang Nan almost instinctively stretched out his hand, as fast as thunder and lightning, and grabbed it by the neck!

The eyes are cold!

——As long as he exerts a little force, the crow born from his body will turn into powder.

However, the other party did not seem to be panicked, and allowed Jiang Nan to strangle its neck and said nonchalantly, "Since I was born from you, it is understandable if I want to be buried in your hands."

But immediately, its tone changed, "But...is it really okay?"

Jiang Nan frowned, "Huh?"

"Is it really okay to let that cruel and foolish king of Tianshan Mountain sit on the throne?"

"Is it really okay for the thirty-six vast regions to be ruled by such people?"

"Does it really matter if you have to succumb to such a foolish king forever?"

Just like instinct, this black crow can easily arouse people's inner desires in less than a stick of incense, even though it is clearly born with sanity.

Its voice was like the whisper of a demon, with strange magic power, "I know that you are very powerful, but there is still a gap compared with that tyrant. Therefore, if it is just you, there is no way you can be his opponent."

Seeing Jiang Nan looking thoughtful, Crow's eyes flashed, and he continued to follow the temptation, "But I can help you, and the restricted area can help you - whether it is to obtain the throne, seize the orthodoxy, or even unify the immortal land, and become an eternal emperor.

It’s all… a piece of cake!”

At the same time, as it spoke, Jiang Nan's eyes became more and more blurred - like a traveler entering a maze, the consciousness in his eyes became thinner and thinner, as if he recognized the black crow's words.

Seeing this, Black Crow's eyes suddenly became filled with joy. He spread his wings and spread black feathers all over the sky. He said softly, "Yes, good boy... That's it... Yes... I am your best friend... your mentor..."

Yes... let go of your hands... I will take you to the supreme realm of immortals..."

The strange sound of the black crow echoed in Jiang Nan's ears, and the hand he held on the other person's neck seemed to loosen his grip weakly.

Seeing this, Black Crow's eyes showed disdain, and he clicked his tongue, "That's it?"

But before the voice fell, the arm that looked like it was made of steel strangled its neck again!

"You...Gah!"

At that moment, disbelief appeared in the crow's eyes, its wings flapped vigorously, and it struggled hard!

But the hand holding its throat did not waver at all.

Jiang Nan's eyes that seemed to have been bewitched and hypnotized regained clarity!

He looked at the black crow in front of him thoughtfully, and said quietly, "So, whether it is the leader or the third highness, they are all bewitched by you, right?"

At this moment, he finally reorganized all the messy clues in his mind and clarified some of the broken truths.

Previously, he had been wondering why most of the crows in the restricted area were like puppets. Only the two crows following the Lord and the Third Highness had sanity and were extremely cunning-the two of them bewitched the Lord and launched the first attack.

During the Qianli War, someone took advantage of the anger of His Highness the Third to complete the conspiracy of the Northern Four Regions.

From that time, he even thought - if more sane crows appeared and confused more Taoist ancestors and immortals, wouldn't the restricted area have long occupied the entire main road?

Now, the answers to these puzzles have been revealed.

"Except for the Dao Ancestor who was killed at the beginning, until now, only Ganzhu, His Highness the Third Highness and myself have entered the restricted area."

"And only when someone steps into the restricted area, an intelligent individual corresponding to him will be born among those skin-like puppets. Only this person can take you who have sanity out of the restricted area and come to the fairyland. In this world."

There was no trace of confusion in Jiang Nan's eyes anymore, as if he was talking to himself, "The so-called 'forbidden' in the restricted area not only prohibits outsiders from entering, but also... also prohibits you and others from stepping out!"

After finishing his words, looking at the extremely sober Jiangnan, panic began to appear in Black Crow's eyes.

It's like being peeled away layer by layer and seeing everything.

And this third crow with sanity is still new. It just relies on instinct to confuse Jiangnan, and it is not as sophisticated as the one following the leader. Once it fails to confuse and is pointed out some secrets by the other party, it panics. .

My whole body started to tremble.

And Jiang Nan also knew that it was impossible to get anything out of the mouths of these crows - even the shells of these crows were empty, and they couldn't summon their souls through the secluded world, let alone the magical power of gathering beasts and coaxing birds.

So he simply used his five fingers and shook it hard!

Under the terrifying flesh body washed away by sixty thousand years of Taoism, the void exploded into pieces. The newborn black crow had no power to resist and was crushed into powder by the terrifying power and dissipated in the chaotic flow of time and space!

·

At the same time, within the restricted area.

When Jiangnan escaped from the restricted area, returned to the Tianbei Domain and solved his "crow".

In that endless darkness, the huge eyes that seemed to remain unchanged from ancient times suddenly trembled.

The next moment, the deep darkness separated into a small part, condensed and evolved in the void, just like fire burning.

Then, it slowly transformed into the shape of a crow.

After a while, he opened his eyes.

In the dark flames, a crow spreads its wings. There is deep anger in its cold eyes!

Look at that size, look at that shape, it’s the oldest crow born in Ganzhu!

At this moment, it had clearly been erased by Jiangnan's mediation, but it was reborn in the endless darkness!

But even if it gained life again, it did not feel any joy. Instead, it lowered its head and looked into the huge eyes, "Old Crow is incompetent and failed to stop the guy of unknown origin. I still bother you to reshape Old Crow's body, Old Crow... ...so ashamed!”

He no longer looked like he was playing around in front of his boss, but was extremely respectful.

After the words fell, the eyes blinked.

Crow showed a look of surprise, "Don't worry, Lao Ya understands - as long as Lao Ya is here, the old guy who is the leader will definitely be under your control."
