C162 (1/2)

At this time, a voice suddenly came from the air: ”The three of you cannot move backwards without a single mistake. Even if you move in the right direction, time will not move backwards because time is irreversible anyway.”

As soon as we heard the sound, we immediately became alert.

Raising his head, he saw a man suddenly appear beside the raven on the small roof.

This man had a head full of long hair and was dressed in white. He had a sword at his waist and a paper fan in his left hand. It was an ancient outfit.

At a glance, one would think of Pan An and Song Yu from ancient times. However, this was not the most eye-catching part about him, but rather, on his shoulder, stood a white bird. To be more precise, it was a white crow!

”Who are you?!” I looked at him like a rabbit looking at a hungry wolf. Every cell in my body was ready to run away at any moment.

However, he was very calm. With a faint smile, he cupped his hands and gave us a scholar's salute. He smiled and said, ”This one is Chen Haoran. Greetings everyone.”

Seeing him like this, he couldn't help but curse in his heart. Damn, is he filming an antique film? It was one thing to wear an ancient attire, but the way you spoke gave off an ancient aura. It really made one at a loss of whether to laugh or to cry.

The old Daoist stared at him and cut straight to the point. He coldly said, ”What do you want?”

That Chen Haoran openly laughed and said: ”The three of you don't think that this little one will harm you, right?”

When he said that, the three of us were stunned for a moment.

Chen Haoran then said: ”The three of you have entered the Black Crow Formation by mistake. Thus, no matter how the three of you walk, as long as you turn around, you will be able to see this little house and the crow. This Black Crow Formation is extremely mysterious and profound. If the three of you wish to find the exit by yourself, you will probably never be able to leave this formation. ”

When An Gui and I heard this, we couldn't help but be speechless. We didn't think that there would be such a formation in this world. It was truly amazing.

The old Daoist was still expressionless as he cautiously stared at Chen Haoran.

”If the three of you believe me, please follow me. I have a way to help you out of this formation.” Chen Haoran touched the white crow on his shoulder.

Upon hearing his words, An Gui was immediately overjoyed, as if the rope around the prisoner's neck had suddenly snapped, as if he had received an amnesty.

When I heard this, I was also a bit moved, but I still became vigilant. There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. This Chen Haoran suddenly appearing in front of us is already extremely strange. Furthermore, he even learned from Lei Feng to do good deeds, making others even more suspicious.

At this time, the old Daoist lightly said, ”Why are you helping us?”

Chen Haoran seemed to have already known that the old Daoist would ask this question. He calmly smiled and replied, ”To be honest, this Black Crow Array was set up by my junior. She wants to trap the three of them in the array and then seize the Spiritual Bead to increase her own spiritual energy.”

Hearing this, my heart couldn't help but thump. There really isn't a free lunch in this world. This Chen Haoran is the senior brother of the one who designed this array. His armpit definitely won't open up!

At this time, Chen Haoran changed the topic and said: ”All of you are not ordinary people, there is nothing for me to hide. My junior sister and I were thousand-year-old spectral cultivators who died in the Tang Dynasty's Anchor Lands. We have cultivated for more than a thousand years and have a deep magic power that allows us to walk under the sun during the day. Recently, my Junior Sister encountered a bottleneck in her cultivation, and I don't know where she heard that the Spiritual Energy within the Spiritual God's Pearl was extraordinary. It was able to help her break through the bottleneck, so she coveted it and wanted to kill someone for it. He completely forgot that we cultivate the path of ghosts and immortals. Killing a person will deepen the resentment, and a thousand years of cultivation technique will suffer a backlash. It will do more harm than good. I advised her to come here and rescue the three of them. At the end of the day, I still have to apologize to the three of you. I hope the three of you don't take it to heart and forgive my Junior Sister's ignorant actions. ”

Saying that, Chen Haoran kowtowed deeply.

We saw that he was so sincere that it didn't seem like he was lying, so we believed him.

The old Daoist pondered for a moment, then said, ”In that case, please lead the way, Brother Haoran.”

Seeing that we believed him, Chen Haoran couldn't help but be overjoyed and said, ”Good!” Then it drifted toward us and landed in front of us.

”Everyone, please follow me to the hut.” Chen Haoran slightly bent his body and said a few words. Then, he took the lead and entered the small room.

The three of us followed.

Seeing that the three of us had entered, Chen Haoran said: ”The three of you, I will cast my spell later and a hole will appear in the wall. As long as the three of you enter the gap, you will be able to leave this array and return to the original world.”

The old Daoist nodded and said, ”En, then please cast your magic as soon as possible, Brother Haoran.”

”Alright.”

After saying that, Chen Haoran picked up the white crow on his shoulder and threw it at the roof. His hands quickly made all kinds of movements and muttered some words.

The white crow was circling above us, and with two whooshing sounds, a vortex suddenly appeared on the roof. The vortex spun and grew larger, until a black crow actually flew out of it.

This black crow was exactly the same as the one on the roof.

The two crows hovered in the air for a moment, then suddenly stopped and released a black and white fist-sized ball of light at the wall.

When the two balls of light struck the wall, the wall immediately rippled like a lake littered with rocks.

The black and white spheres stayed on the wall for a moment before fusing into the wall.

A whirlpool began to form on the wall. The whirlpool became bigger and bigger, until it became a one meter wide gap.
