After half a month, there was still no trace of the Taoist couple and their children.
Fortunately, the system informed us that their lives were not in danger at the moment.
After leaving the Great Wilderness and heading towards Xuantian City, Ao Qing heard a lot of news about the battle between humans and demons, as well as the birth of divine beasts.
Many monks also gathered to discuss when demon beasts with the blood of divine beasts could be mass-produced.
After hearing the latter, Ao Qing couldn't help but feel disgusted with human beings.
Mass production.
Ao Qing didn't want to delve into the question of how to mass produce it, which made him feel disgusted.
"Have you found it?" Ao Qing asked the system again.
"Found them. Little Dragon and Feng Yan are in the Frost Forest outside Phoenix Valley. Zhang Bufan and several monks are also heading there."
The system looked at the small dots moving on the world map and said.
After hearing what the system said, Ao Qing stayed where he was for a while, but finally went to Xuantian Sect as planned.
"Host, shouldn't we go save the cubs first?" The system followed the host.
"Once they enter the Phoenix Valley, human monks will not be able to find them easily."
"Where is the Demon King now?" Ao Qing asked after a while.
"It's in Mingli City, not far from Xuantian City. We'll pass by it in another day's flight."
"Um."
One day later, in Mingli City, when Ao Qing found the Demon King, they were discussing a plan to deal with Xuantian Sect.
Seeing Ao Qing finally appear, the demon king finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Senior..."
However, thinking of Ao Qing's Taoist partner who is now missing, the demon king looked a little apologetic, "The Taoist partner and the child have separated from us, but I have sent warriors from my tribe to look for them."
"Well, tomorrow I will go to Xuantian Sect. After we break the Xuantian Sect's protective formation, you can do whatever you want."
"In that case... I'll trouble you then, Senior!" The Demon King was delighted when he heard his words.
The Demon King could naturally sense the increasingly terrifying aura surrounding Ao Qing, and his attitude towards him became more cautious and respectful.
According to legend, the Xuantian Sect's protective stone was made from the tortoise shell of the mythical beast Xuanwu.
A god-level defensive magic weapon with passive damage return, this is why Xuantian Sect has always stood as the number one sect in Xuanzhen Continent.
Now, someone is helping to solve the first and most difficult obstacle, the Demon King will naturally not refuse.
The next day, after receiving news from the system that the Taoist couple and their cub were temporarily safe, Ao Qing went to Xuantian Sect.
After Ao Qing set off, the Demon King gathered the remaining warriors in his hands and quietly went to Xuantian Sect.
Breaking through the Xuantian Sect is the first and most critical step in the war between humans and demons.
Mingluo City is not far from Xuantian City. Ao Qing finally arrived after flying for two days.
This time he came to rescue his old friend and take back the Xuanwu Tower, so there was no need to be low-key.
"Who are you? How dare you enter the forbidden area of Xuantian Sect!"
Ao Qing, who entered the forbidden area of Xuantian Sect openly, was discovered by several patrolling monks.
Ao Qing walked towards the place where Xuan Dahei was sealed. He did not turn back when he heard the sound. Several cultivators who wanted to come over and catch him were suddenly blown away.
After finding the seal center, Ao Qing began to wake up his old friend.
Perhaps he had woken up once before, and Xuan Dahei was well prepared, so Ao Qing didn't have to wait long before he heard the response from his old friend.
"I'm here... How long has it been?"
Xuan Dahai was still a little groggy when he woke up, and his breath was a little weaker than before.
'Half a year.'
"So fast?" Xuan Dahei was a little surprised.
For a black tortoise that sleeps for thousands of years, these six months are just a blink of an eye.
"I'll activate the formation later, you try to rush out from it, and then I'll..." Ao Qing told Xuan Dahei about his plan.
"Have you solved the problem of your dragon pill?" Xuan Dahei asked.
'Um.'
"Okay, you've been lying there for so long, if you don't get out and move around your bones will get sore," Xuan Dahei said happily.
Now with the help of old friends, Old Xuanwu is not worried at all that he won’t be able to get out.
"Let's get started." Ao Qing said, transforming into his original form.
It is said that the divine beast Azure Dragon can swallow clouds and spit out mist, make clouds and rain come, and can also transform into thunder, spit out divine fire, and swallow the sun and the moon.
The few cultivators who had just been blown away had just arrived at the sect's main hall. Before they could go in and report, the entire Xuantian Sect's protective formation was activated.
All the cultivators of Xuantian Sect looked up at the light blue protective shield in the sky, all with a look of suspicion on their faces.
At the same time, thunderclouds began to appear in the sky above Xuantian Sect. The rolling black clouds were accompanied by lightning and thunder, as if someone was undergoing a tribulation.
As soon as the sect protection formation was activated, several monks hurried out of the hall.
"What's going on? Why is the sect protection formation activated?"
The war between humans and demons has been going on for more than a month, and now we have to investigate any sign of trouble.
It was enough that the sect was infiltrated by the demon clan once.
"Master, someone has entered the forbidden area!"
Hearing that someone had entered the forbidden area, the face of the middle-aged monk in the lead suddenly darkened, "Call the elders over!"
As he spoke, Sect Master Yu Jian flew towards the forbidden area, and several Peak Masters who walked out of the hall together followed him.
In the forbidden area, Ao Qing activated the sealing formation.
It circled in the air and stared at the magic array below for a long time.
Above the dragon, the rolling black clouds grew thicker and thicker, and the thunder hidden in the clouds grew louder and louder.
'It's time to start.'
Ao Qing reminded his old friend. At this moment, a divine thunder as thick as an arm suddenly struck down and hit the sealing formation.
The old Xuanwu who was sealed inside took advantage of the moment when the seal loosened and rushed out with all his strength.
At the same time, a dragon roar that resounded through the sky was heard.
When the leader of Xuantian Sect arrived, he saw a giant dragon hovering in the sky and suddenly swooping down towards the sealing formation.
The huge energy generated by the collision blew away the sect leader and several peak masters who had rushed over.
One of the peak masters climbed up and looked up at everything in front of him, his eyes full of disbelief, "This... this is the legendary beast Azure Dragon?"
Under the full force of the divine beast Azure Dragon, even the best sealing formation is useless.
Sensing the seal was loosened, the dragon raised its head and rushed into the sky, circling in the dark clouds, and the surrounding divine thunder was quickly gathering around the dragon.
"Oh no! Get out of the way!!"
As soon as the monk finished speaking, a giant dragon transformed into thunder suddenly struck down, accompanied by a dazzling white light and a deafening thunder, and the seal was broken.
Having regained his freedom, the heavy and suffocating feeling that had been pressing on his body completely disappeared. Old Xuanwu stood up on all fours, raised his head and howled, venting the depression and unhappiness that had been lingering for a long time.
"Hahaha! I feel much more relaxed after shouting it out." Old Xuanwu laughed extremely happily.
Ao Qing landed in front of Old Xuanwu, transformed into a human form, and took out two black beads the size of an adult male's head from the ring.
"We have to take back the Xuanwu Tower and absorb it."
More importantly, Xuan Dahei is too weak now, and since Longze doesn't have the ring on him, he can't put him into the ring.
We need to let him recover some strength, at least enough to escape.
"Is this... the Xuanwu Pill?" Although it was a question, Xuan Dahai absorbed the Xuanwu Pill quite quickly.
“Did you also find it in the Great Wilderness?” Xuan Dahai asked as he absorbed the divine power from the Xuanwu Pill.
Compared with the God-killing Ruins, Xuan Dahai is still accustomed to calling that place the Great Wasteland.
"Well, once the matter is resolved, we will go there again and move their remains back to the clan tomb."
"...It's supposed to be, everything will eventually return to its roots." Xuan Dahai was silent for a while and said in a muffled voice.
After absorbing two Xuanwu pills, Old Xuanwu finally recovered and was no longer as weak as before and could only sleep to slow down.
After absorbing it, Xuan Dahei transformed into a human form and stood in front of Ao Qing.
Xuan Dahei, who looks like a human, has a burly figure. At first glance, you might think he is a simple and honest person, but you won't think so after looking at him a few more times.
Of course, as a divine beast, Xuan Dahei's appearance is naturally superior, with a heroic look, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and sword-like eyebrows.
"Let's go. If we stay any longer we won't be able to leave."
Xuan Dahai and Ao Qing naturally knew that a group of people were rushing towards this place, but they didn't care and turned around and flew towards the Xuanwu Tower.
Now that Xuan Dahei has come out, there is naturally no need for Ao Qing to take back the Xuanwu Tower.
The two flew straight to the top floor of the Xuanwu Tower. Xuan Dahei took out the token and pressed it into the depression, opening a small door on the top floor from the outside.
After entering, Ao Qing saw many basalt eggs carefully placed in a jade box, neatly arranged in rows and rows. He estimated that there were about a hundred of them.
Xuan Dahei walked through rows of basalt eggs and came to a jade platform. He pressed the token into the depression on the platform.
The light spreads from the object in all directions, and when the pattern on the jade table is activated, the gold thread flies upward and winds around into a hollow gold wire ball.
After a while, a small black turtle-like creature appeared on the jade table.
"What do you want to wake me up for?" Unlike his cute appearance, the little Xuanwu's voice is old and indifferent.
"Ten thousand years ago, the treasures in the Black Tortoise Tower have been stolen by human monks one after another. Today, I want to take them back in full. If I cannot take them back, I will destroy them."
"Yes." Just as the little black tortoise finished speaking, an ink-colored scroll appeared in front of him.
"Place the royal token on top, and place your right hand on the right side of the token."
The ink-colored scroll was pulled open in front of Xuan Dahei, revealing the mysterious pattern inside.
Xuan Dahei did as he was told, placing the token first and then raising his hand to press it.
"The 37th Emperor of the Xuanwu Clan, Xuan Hei, has been confirmed."
As soon as the little black tortoise finished speaking, the scroll turned into countless small points of light and flew out.
"Is this all that is required?" Xuan Dahei caught the fallen token and asked.
"Um."
"Is that so? Sorry to bother you."
Xuan Dahei had nothing else to do, and the little black Xuanwu returned to His original position.
"Done?" Ao Qing on the side asked.
"Okay, let's go."
The two of them came out of the Xuanwu Tower, and Ao Qing turned into his original form as soon as he came out.
After Xuan Dahei came out, he hung above the top of the tower and erased the seal belonging to the human cultivators in the Xuanwu Tower.
He threw out the human still in the Xuanwu Tower, stretched out his hand, and the tall and upright Xuanwu Tower shrank instantly and flew into Xuan Dahei's hand.
The abnormality at the Xuanwu Tower was soon discovered.
However, as soon as the Xuantian Sect's protective formation disappeared, the Demon King and his powerful generals hiding around the Xuantian Sect immediately noticed it.
As a result, the sect's protective formation was damaged, the sect's forbidden area was broken into, the Xuanwu Tower disappeared, and the demon clan suddenly attacked the Xuantian Sect. Things happened one after another.
Faced with the sudden attack of the demon clan, Xuantian Sect could only fight back hastily, and they no longer cared about the mysterious disappearance of the Xuanwu Tower.
"Where are we going next?" Xuan Dahai glanced at the humans and demons fighting below, turned around and followed his old friend.
"Phoenix Valley, go pick up my Taoist partner and child."
