Early the next morning.
Duanmu Junyu then summoned the Vermilion Bird divine beast, and brought along Su Xuening, Xiao Bao, Xuan Yuanzhan, Su Yun'an, Wu Liping, as well as Lan Jingxiao and Shao Jingling. Xuan Yuanzhan also brought along several bodyguards, including Ye Feng, Ye Yun, Ye Yu, and Ye Xue.
The group rode on the Vermilion Bird mythical beast and flew towards Northern Wei.
The Vermilion Bird divine beast hadn't flown far when everyone saw another one following not far away.
"It is the Xuanwu divine beast."
Su Xuening frowned and looked at Xuan Yuanzhan: "Why did the Xuanwu Divine Beast come along too?"
Xuanyuan Zhan had no idea that the Xuanwu divine beast had just appeared in the world and he knew absolutely nothing about it.
He had tried to give commands to the Xuanwu Divine Beast before, but the Xuanwu Divine Beast completely ignored his commands.
The Vermilion Bird, that divine beast, clearly obeys its mother's commands. So why can't he command his Eastern Chu's guardian beast? Could it be that he, the emperor of Eastern Chu, is a fake?
But then he thought again, these Xuanwu divine beasts were all summoned by his little treasure.
It's likely that the Xuanwu divine beast might listen to Xiaobao, which is why it doesn't obey his commands.
It's a pity that his little one is so small and can't even speak yet, so naturally he can't give commands to the Xuanwu divine beast.
"It might be for Xiao Bao," Xuan Yuanzhan guessed.
Although he didn't know why Xiao Bao was able to summon the Xuanwu Divine Beast, the fact that Xiao Bao could summon it meant that Xiao Bao must have some extraordinary abilities, or that Xiao Bao and the Xuanwu Divine Beast had some mysterious connection.
Therefore, it is normal for the Xuanwu divine beast to want to follow Xiaobao and protect him.
Su Xuening nodded silently; so she had come with Xiao Bao.
If the Xuanwu Divine Beast can really protect Xiaobao, then what is there for her to worry about? With the Xuanwu Divine Beast guarding Xiaobao, Xiaobao won't encounter any danger in the future!
Duanmu Junyu looked at the Xuanwu divine beast following behind and said, "If I had known that the Xuanwu divine beast was also coming, I would have shared half of the people with the Xuanwu divine beast. Instead, we, the Vermilion Bird divine beast, have to bear such a heavy burden."
"Chirp!" The Vermilion Bird seemed to have heard Duanmu Junyu's words, raising its head and chirping in agreement.
Everyone was instantly amused by what they saw.
The group flew straight towards the Northern Wei.
On the Eastern Chu side, Li Jinyuan and Yun Songquan saw the Vermilion Bird divine beast flying far away in the sky, and immediately led their troops to prepare for departure.
Watching the Vermilion Bird Divine Beast quickly disappear into the horizon, Yun Songquan said enviously, "Old Wu is so comfortable, he gets to ride the Vermilion Bird Divine Beast. Why don't I have that kind of luck!"
Li Jinyuan laughed: "Now that we've truly sided with the Great General, we might even have the chance to ride a divine beast in the future. Now, not only does Western Liang have the Vermilion Bird divine beast, but Eastern Chu also has the Black Tortoise divine beast."
Their general's identity was truly extraordinary. Not only was he the eldest grandson of the Northern Wei emperor, but who would have thought that his wife was the Empress of Western Liang, and his son-in-law and daughter were the emperor and empress of Eastern Chu? With such a background, it would be a disservice to him not to become the emperor of Northern Wei.
Now that the Lady has regained control of the Western Liang regime and the Emperor of Eastern Chu has officially ascended the throne, with them as the Grand General's strong backing, it is believed that no one in Northern Wei can defeat the Grand General.
Yun Songquan chuckled upon hearing this: "That's true. Maybe in the future we'll be able to benefit from the General's influence and ride the Vermilion Bird and Black Tortoise divine beasts."
Speaking of this, Yun Songquan thought of their Northern Wei: "You said that the guardian beasts of Western Liang and Eastern Chu have already appeared, so why is there still no sign of our Northern Wei's Azure Dragon?"
Li Jinyuan raised his eyebrows: "These kinds of things are rare and hard to come by. Dongchu was silent for a long time, but now it's happened so suddenly."
Yun Songquan said excitedly, "I think that once our Great General ascends the throne, we might be able to summon the Azure Dragon Divine Beast."
Li Jinyuan thought Yun Songquan's words were very likely. He always felt that the Madam, the Eldest Miss, and the Young Master could bring good luck to the General, and even to the Northern Wei Dynasty!
The Vermilion Bird was incredibly fast; after only one day, they arrived at the capital of Northern Wei by nightfall.
The capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
The people saw a fiery red streak flash across the sky, standing out starkly against the vast black backdrop.
"What is that?!"
"It looks like a fireball!"
"What fireball? It looks like a big bird to me!"
"What nonsense! There's no bird that big. It must be a kite that flew up there!"
After the flash of fire, another colossal beast gleaming with black light flashed by, once again frightening the people.
"Oh, what's that now?"
"It looks like a giant beast!"
"It looks like a snake to me!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? How could a snake fly to the sky? It must be a kite."
Just as the people were enthusiastically discussing the Vermilion Bird and Black Tortoise, the Vermilion Bird had already quietly landed in a corner of the Northern Wei capital.
The Xuanwu divine beast followed closely behind, and the two divine beasts landed together.
Su Xuening looked around at the relatively open space and silently breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it's nighttime and there aren't many people around. Otherwise, if people saw these two giant mythical beasts, it would definitely cause quite a stir.
The group dismounted from the back of the Vermilion Bird mythical beast.
To avoid causing a commotion and not wanting to reveal their whereabouts too early, Duanmu Junyu patted the head of the Vermilion Bird Divine Beast and said, "Find a place to hide for now and wait for my summons."
The Vermilion Bird divine beast understood Duanmu Junyu's meaning, and flapped its wings to take flight again.
Xuanyuan Zhan also wanted to say a few words to the Xuanwu Divine Beast, but before he could speak, the Xuanwu Divine Beast flew away with the Zhuque Divine Beast.
...Xuanyuan Zhan was speechless again.
