Xuanzhi directly transported the millet and potatoes from the city gate to the teleportation array.
Out of politeness, Xiao Xuanjing didn't have room for the glutinous rice ball either, and so he walked side by side with Xuanzhi, who had shrunk in size.
Along the way, Xuanzhi acted like a father, constantly talking to Xiao Xuanjing.
He talked about everything from the habits of the Xuanwu clan to cultivation, from how to protect his armor to what to pay attention to during hibernation. He said whatever came to mind, chattering on and on, completely unlike his usual mild-mannered self.
This was the first time that Xiao Xuanjing had met an elder of its own clan. Although it found the elder a bit nagging, it knew that the elder meant well and did not show any dislike.
Xuanzhi said something, and it obediently responded.
After a conversation, Xuanzhi's deep affection as an elder was fully revealed, and the more it looked at Xuanjing, the more it liked him.
Unbeknownst to Xuan Jing, it cursed Xuan Jing's parents countless times, wondering how they could have lost such a thoughtful little Xuanwu.
Beast City wasn't actually that big. No matter how slow Xuanzhi was, they soon arrived at the teleportation array to the Southern Continent.
Knowing that he was about to say goodbye, Xuanzhi was extremely reluctant to part with Xiaoxuanjing, holding onto his paw and refusing to let go.
In the end, it even considered going to the Southern Continent with Xuanjing.
Xuan Rong, who was guarding the teleportation array, was startled. Without saying a word, he quickly stepped forward and hugged Xuan Zhi.
It was faster than the tortoise in the tortoise and the hare race. In a flash, it blocked Xuan Zhi's way, earnestly trying to persuade him to calm down while crushing several communication talismans.
There's nothing we can do about it; Xuanzhi is currently not only responsible for guarding Beast City, but also serves as its city lord.
The Xuanwu tribe loves to sleep. They usually like to find a place with a good water source and sleep for thousands or even tens of thousands of years. Nowadays, no one in the tribe knows where they are sleeping soundly.
If Xuanzhi, the rotating city lord, also runs away, they won't be able to find another Xuanwu capable of maintaining order in the short term.
Moreover, most of the ancestors had a terrible temper when they woke up. Even if they wanted to, they wouldn't dare to actually take action and become warriors to wake them up from their sleep.
After all, there are bloody lessons to be learned from this. The last Xuanwu who forcibly woke up one of the elders is still being exiled to a stinking ditch and is said to be unable to return for another five hundred years.
Thinking of this, Xuan Rong dared not let go of Xuan Zhi's paw even more, clinging tightly to one of Xuan Zhi's front legs, determined not to let it enter the courtyard where the teleportation array was located.
Xuanzhi was so angry that he wanted to just swat it away.
Just as they were struggling, four more Xuanwus rushed in from outside, having received the message and come to stop Xuanzhi.
Upon arriving, they saw Xuanzhi dragging Xuanrong toward the teleportation array. The four Xuanwu exchanged glances and shouted, "Third Elder, don't go!"
Then two of them grabbed Xuanzhi's hind legs, one of them pressed down on him like Mount Tai, and the other grabbed Xuanzhi's other front leg that was still free.
Together with Xuan Rong, they managed to completely suppress Xuan Zhi, who was still able to move, preventing him from advancing even an inch.
That wasn't all. Xuan Rong even took the time to shout at Shu Shu and the others who were almost speechless with shock, "What are you hesitating for? Hurry up and leave!"
After shouting, Xuan Rong continued to focus wholeheartedly on scrambling at Xuan Zhi, determined not to let it have a chance to escape.
Shushu and the others exchanged glances, then asked somewhat uncertainly, "Shall we go?"
Long Ji nodded firmly: "Let's go."
Then, Yi Xing greeted Xuan Zhi very naturally and walked towards the teleportation array.
They had at least taken turns on duty before, and there were dragons who knew how to operate teleportation arrays.
Without needing Xuanwu's help, they skillfully dropped the corresponding spirit stones needed to ride the teleportation array into the box on the side and then started activating the teleportation array.
A moment later, as the light dimmed, everyone from the teleportation array was teleported away.
Only after confirming that the light from the teleportation array had disappeared did the five Xuanwu that were clinging to Xuanzhi outside breathe a sigh of relief and relax.
Meeting Xuan Zhi's fiery gaze, the five Xuanwu felt somewhat guilty.
Xuan Rong, who was in charge of calling for help and was the first to intervene, was now wishing he could dig a hole and crawl into it. He grinned sheepishly and tried to hide behind the other Xuanwu.
Unfortunately, his friends are all unreliable; for every step Xuan Rong takes, they retreat two steps.
In short, we are determined not to use it as a shield.
Seeing that the fire in Xuanzhi's eyes was about to materialize, the remaining four Xuanwu exchanged a glance, then suddenly attacked together, quickly pinning down Xuanrong and sending him towards Xuanzhi.
One of them even said in a rather ingratiating tone, "Third Elder, we have already captured Xuan Rong. If you want to vent your anger, then hit it. If you hit it, it can't hit us."
The following sentence was not explicitly stated, but the look in his eyes conveyed it clearly.
Xuanzhi couldn't help but twitch his lips, while Xuanrong's face was full of disbelief as he struggled to turn his neck to look at the four unscrupulous Xuanwu: "You... how could you do this!"
The four Black Tortoises looked at the sky and the ground, but ignored it. They were selectively deaf to its roars. Did a Black Tortoise just speak? Oh, no, okay.
Xuan Rong looked at these unscrupulous guys and wanted to say something more, but a shadow fell in front of him. When he turned around, he saw Xuan Zhi's voice amplified infinitely.
Then came a series of cries of pain: "Ah," "Oh," "Waaah, Third Elder, I was wrong," "I'll never do it again!"
As an elder of the Xuanwu clan, Xuanzhi naturally knew how to break through Xuanwu's defenses. He acted swiftly, pinning Xuanrong down and giving him a sound beating, leaving him bruised and swollen.
Out of the corner of its eye, it spotted the remaining four Xuanwu, which were sneaking away, trying to slip away quietly. Without saying a word, it narrowed its eyes, and an invisible barrier enveloped the area.
With a flick of its claws, the mountain-sized Xuanzhi soared into the air, crashing down on each of the Xuanwu like a cannonball.
In an instant, the yard was filled with the wails and pleas for mercy of the animals, startling passersby and beasts alike.
Immediately afterwards, a gossipy glint appeared in their eyes. They exchanged a furtive glance, then tiptoed, held their breath, and quietly approached to watch the show.
When they saw that it was Xuanzhi beating up five Xuanwu, they didn't say anything about their approach. These onlookers then spread the news far and wide, calling on their friends and family.
The most outrageous thing is that some people even took out a photo-recording stone to record videos.
