Upon hearing the King of Kang's shout, everyone who had just hidden came running out again.
Seeing the enormous beast in mid-air, everyone was so excited their hearts were about to jump out of their throats!
"It really is the Xuanwu divine beast!"
"My God, the Xuanwu Divine Beast has really appeared!"
"This is the Xuanwu Divine Beast! The Xuanwu Divine Beast really does have a snake's head and a turtle's body!"
"The Xuanwu divine beast we have been waiting for for thousands of years has finally appeared."
Hearing the shouts outside, Xuan Yuanzhan and Su Xuening exchanged a glance.
Has the Xuanwu divine beast appeared?
The two of them immediately ran out excitedly.
Sure enough, a giant beast with a snake's head and a tortoise's body was seen hovering in mid-air. The beast was the same size as the Vermilion Bird, covered in scales, and glowing with black light. Wasn't this the image of the Black Tortoise described in ancient books?
The Xuanwu mythical beast has truly appeared!
But Xuanyuan Zhan couldn't summon the Xuanwu Divine Beast when he performed the sacrificial ceremony to the heavens, so how come it suddenly appeared now?
The couple seemed to have thought of something, and looked together at their baby who had suddenly stopped crying and was sobbing.
Could it be that the Xuanwu divine beast was summoned by Xiaobao?
The couple recalled that when Xiao Bao was imprinting the Xuanwu mark, his shoulder bled. It must have been the blood that seeped into the Xuanwu sword, which was why the Xuanwu divine beast was summoned.
In other words, Xuanyuan Zhan's blood failed to summon the Xuanwu divine beast, but Xiao Bao's blood did.
The Xuanwu divine beast in mid-air seemed to sense Xiao Bao's presence and suddenly swooped down towards them.
Su Xuening didn't know what the Xuanwu Divine Beast was going to do. As it swooped down, she retreated step by step while holding Xiaobao. However, the Xuanwu Divine Beast was very fast. It passed Su Xuening like lightning and took Xiaobao away from her.
"Xiao Bao!" Su Xuening was frantic as she watched Xiao Bao being taken away.
Xuanyuan Zhan wasn't in a hurry, and pulled Su Xuening aside, saying, "Don't panic. Xiaobao has summoned the Xuanwu Divine Beast, and the Xuanwu Divine Beast won't harm him."
Xuanwu is the guardian beast of Eastern Chu; he will not harm Xiaobao.
“But…” Su Xuening looked at the Xuanwu divine beast flying very high with Xiao Bao, how could she not be anxious?
Xiao Bao is still so small, and it's flying with Xiao Bao all by itself, what if...?
Even though Su Xuening knew the possibility was very low, she was still worried.
Everyone else was stunned to see the Xuanwu Divine Beast take Xiaobao away.
"Why did the Xuanwu divine beast take the little prince away?"
"Yeah, I hope nothing bad will happen!"
"Probably not. The young prince is the heir to the throne of Eastern Chu, and the Xuanwu Divine Beast is the guardian beast of Eastern Chu. He certainly wouldn't harm the young prince."
Soon the Xuanwu divine beast disappeared with Xiaobao, or perhaps it flew to a place out of their sight.
Su Xuening was extremely anxious. Xuan Yuanzhan comforted her for a couple of minutes, but since the Xuanwu Divine Beast hadn't returned with Xiaobao, she also started to worry.
"Zhan'er, Ning'er."
At this moment, Bai Fuya and Duanmu Junyu also arrived at the Imperial Ancestral Temple.
"Mother, Mother."
The two quickly stepped forward and bowed.
Bai Fuya looked at the two of them worriedly: "What happened? Did something go wrong during the sacrificial ceremony?"
Duanmu Junyu frowned when she didn't see Xiaobao and asked, "Where's Xiaobao?"
Bai Fuya, not seeing Xiaobao, also became anxious: "We thought we heard Xiaobao crying just now. Has something happened to Xiaobao?"
Su Xuening was surprised that they could hear Xiao Bao crying, and exchanged a glance with Xuan Yuanzhan.
Xuan Yuanzhan quickly reassured them, "Don't worry, Xiao Bao is fine, it's Xiao Bao..."
"Hiss!" Before Xuan Yuanzhan could finish speaking, that deep, ethereal roar came from the sky again.
Then something broke through the clouds, and the originally gloomy sky instantly brightened, the dark clouds dispersed, and the sun shone brightly.
Amidst the auspicious seven-colored clouds, the Xuanwu divine beast flew in, treading on light.
Duanmu Junyu and Bai Fuya were stunned when they saw the Xuanwu divine beast.
"This is the Xuanwu divine beast..."
Because Xiliang possessed the Vermilion Bird divine beast, Duanmu Junyu recognized the Black Tortoise divine beast at a glance.
Bai Fuya was completely stunned.
As someone who often heard of the Xuanwu divine beast, she naturally recognized it as such.
She just never expected that the Xuanwu divine beast that Xuanyuan Peng had been longing for would actually appear!
"Chirp!" Just as the Xuanwu divine beast was about to land, a clear phoenix cry came from the horizon.
"Hiss!" Upon hearing the phoenix's cry, the Xuanwu divine beast immediately roared as if calling upon the Zhuque divine beast.
The Vermilion Bird divine beast found the Black Tortoise divine beast by following the sound. The two enormous creatures immediately circled and chased each other in mid-air, back and forth, as excited and happy as old friends who had not seen each other for thousands of years.
The Vermilion Bird, in particular, had been waiting for thousands of years and was feeling very lonely. When it finally met the Black Tortoise, the Black Tortoise kept chasing after it and would stretch its neck to wrap around its neck from time to time.
Everyone below stared blankly at the two divine beasts that sometimes soared high in the air, sometimes circled, and sometimes chased each other.
What incredible luck they had to see two mythical beasts at the same time!
Before this, their Xuanwu divine beast only existed in legends. They never expected that the Xuanwu divine beast would appear in their real world so quickly.
This is their true guardian beast of Dongchu. To see the Xuanwu beast appear in this lifetime is the greatest blessing they have ever had.
Only Su Xuening was very worried about Xiaobao's safety. Watching the Xuanwu Divine Beast fly up and down, and even do a 360-degree inverted flight from time to time, Su Xuening's heart was spinning, and she was so anxious that she broke out in a cold sweat.
Seeing them having so much fun in mid-air, Su Xuening got really anxious and immediately looked at Duanmu Junyu: "Mother, please call the Vermilion Bird back quickly, Xiaobao is still on the back of the Black Tortoise."
