Azure Luan! Burst forth into the world!

  Upon hearing this, her heart warmed up and the corners of her mouth slightly curved upwards. She looked at the father-son duo with clear eyes: "I once met a demonic cultivator whose power was mysterious and immeasurable, even I wasn't his match. However, his power is possible." Her gaze shifted to Mu Chenfeng beside her.

  Tuoba Chengyuan and Tuoba Ye looked at the white-robed man in astonishment, they could feel his strength from his demeanor and that overwhelming pressure, but unexpectedly, his strength was also recognized by Tang Xin. This meant that if the demon cultivator really came, could they protect the Tuoba family?

  Tuoba Chengyuan was deep in thought, his gaze passing over them and falling on that blue-green giant egg. This giant egg had been placed here for hundreds of years, and no one had ever dared to touch it. Guarding such a giant egg, they didn't even know what it was for? On the contrary, if someone wasn't careful, it would bring disaster to the family, causing their downfall. If possible, he really hoped that someone could take away the heavy responsibility that had been weighing on the shoulders of his ancestors.

  A thought flashed through his mind, and he looked at the two people in front of him. They were so outstanding, so extraordinary. If they took away this giant egg, it would be taking away the disaster of the Tuoba family. But would they be willing to do so?

  "What's the origin of this broken egg? Can't even touch it?" Takashi furrowed his brow, staring at the gigantic cyan-blue egg emitting a glow. His family had been guarding it for generations, yet they couldn't even touch it - this was just too bizarre.

  Looking at the giant egg, Tuoba Chengyuan paused for a moment and said in a low voice: "You two, our family has been guarding this giant egg for hundreds of years, but it has never been like this. Even we can't touch it. My father told me when he passed it down to me that this is no ordinary object, and it must not fall into the hands of unscrupulous people with ulterior motives. You two are not ordinary people, if I give you this giant egg, I can rest assured, but only if you can take it away." They couldn't touch the blue-green giant egg, which had been placed here for many years. Even if he wanted to give it to them, he was worried that they wouldn't be able to take it away.

  Upon hearing this, not only was Takahashi taken aback, but Tang Xin and Mu Chenfeng also raised an eyebrow. This giant egg was a treasured family heirloom that had been passed down through generations, so how could they possibly think of giving it to them? Were they willing to part with it just like that?

  "Both of you look calm and collected, without any joy in your faces. He spoke again: 'You two, although you can protect us from the demon's attack this time, but it's only temporary protection, not lifelong protection. The demon has already found out that our Tuo Ba family has this giant egg, so it will definitely not give up easily. This giant egg staying in our Tuo Ba family cannot bring benefits to our clan, but instead will bring us doom. As the head of the family, I do not want my clansmen to die because of this one egg. Therefore, I thought of sending it away, and you two are the best candidates.'"

  Mo Chen glanced at the giant egg and said, "This giant egg is emitting a strong spiritual energy, and there is also a cyan light lingering around it. It's not necessarily easy to take away, and even if you do, you can only look at it but not use it. Moreover, taking this giant egg might even bring trouble, which would be of no benefit to us."

  Upon hearing this, Tuoba Ye fell silent. He looked at his father and indeed, the giant egg might be a treasure, but for them, it was untouchable, only to be gazed at, without knowing what was inside or where it came from. If they kept it in the Tuoba family, it would only bring trouble, but if they gave it to Tang Xin's family, it would be like passing on a burden, with no benefits for them either. After all, nobody knew when this giant egg would hatch, and carrying such an egg that could only be looked at but not used, might even bring about deadly danger at any moment.

  Tuoba Chengyuan was also silent, what he said was a fact. Perhaps this giant egg is a treasure, but it can only be looked at and cannot be used at all. Moreover, it's not even clear what kind of giant egg this is. On the contrary, this may bring them disaster. He really only thought about his own family and ignored their safety.

  "Alas! I was too selfish, I only thought of getting rid of this responsibility, throwing away this trouble, and letting the Takahashi family be at peace, but I didn't think that this giant egg would be of no use to you at all."

  "Really for me?"

  A sudden voice came, and several people were stunned. Following the sound, they looked over and couldn't help but be shocked. It turned out that while they were talking, Tang Xin had walked to the front of the giant egg. At this moment, his hand was touching the cyan blue stripes on the surface of the giant egg, seemingly admiring the beautiful pattern.

  "You, you can touch it?" Ta Ba Cheng Yuan stared at her in astonishment. He had also tried to touch the giant egg, but before he could even make contact, he was bounced back by a powerful force that they couldn't withstand. Yet she, someone not from the Ta Ba family, was actually able to touch the giant egg without being repelled. This... this was truly unbelievable.

  Mo Chenfeng raised an eyebrow, gazing at the turquoise giant egg with interest. This giant egg should belong to some beast, but she had no idea what kind of spiritual beast was inside. The fact that she could touch it meant that the egg had accepted her?

  "I just touched it and it clearly bounced out, how...?" Takashi said in confusion, not understanding what was going on. He walked forward again to try touching it once more, but before his hand even made contact with the giant egg, it was bounced out again. Seeing this scene, several people were shocked into silence.

  "Pfft! Damn it! What a broken egg! Can't even touch it, what's the point of guarding this egg? Tang Xin, if you want it, just take it away. This thing only recognizes you and not us, why bother guarding it?" Tuo Ba Ye spat out another mouthful of blood, his temper flaring up along with the surging blood and pain in his chest, his glare at the giant egg seemed like he wanted to smash it to pieces.

  Tang Xin's slender fingers gently stroked the giant blue-green egg, and the stripes on it were really beautiful. The blue-green seemed to be mixed with a light purple color, which was so light that it couldn't be seen if one didn't look carefully. What made her feel strange was that when her hand touched the giant egg, she could clearly feel the slight movement inside, as if the spiritual beast inside was waking up.

  What will it be?

  Dumbfounded, Tuoba Chengyuan hastily said: "Tang young lady, since you can touch this giant egg, then take it!"

  At this time, a faint sound of panic came from outside, and the clanging sound of swords colliding made everyone in the underground secret room pause for a moment. Upon hearing the sound, Tuoba Chengyuan and Tuoba Ye couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

  "Not good!"

  The two exclaimed in unison and were about to rush out, but at this moment, a cracking sound came from behind them, causing them to stop in their tracks and turn around. They saw that the blue-green giant egg suddenly cracked open with a loud crack, and as the sound grew louder, a small piece of the blue-green shell broke off, revealing a blue-green head similar to a chicken's, but with several beautiful feathers on top.

  "What...what is that?" The two of them were simultaneously stunned, the giant egg that had been guarded for hundreds of years was actually hatching at this time?

  Tang Xin's expression also slightly froze, only to see that small thing poking its head out and staring at her with an unblinking gaze. Suddenly, the sharp beak pecked at her finger, causing a stinging pain as fresh blood flowed out. The formation of the contract caused the small creature's body to rapidly grow larger, completely breaking free from its shell. A burst of spiritual energy also spread throughout its body, and at this time, Tang Xin only felt that the spiritual energy within her was also stirred up due to the contract, causing her entire body's spiritual energy to overflow. The blood and energy within her surged forth, a familiar sensation, a familiar surge of spiritual energy, leaving her eyes wide with astonishment.

  Is this going to be upgraded?

  Tuoba Chengyuan and his son stared at the unbelievable scene in front of them, stunned into speechlessness. Just then, the sudden clanging sound outside shocked them awake, and without thinking, they rushed outwards. It must be that the demon cultivator's people had arrived! They were charging towards this giant egg, and the people outside were trying to block their way, but feared they wouldn't be able to stop them.

  As they saw the father and son rushing out, listening to the sound of fighting, Mu Chenfeng's eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't move. Nothing was more important than Tang Xin, and during her advancement, she must not be disturbed. He had to stay here and guard her until she advanced safely.

  If the person outside is really that demon cultivator, then the people of the Tuoba family are not his match at all. Since she wants to help them, he might as well lend a hand too!

  "Qilin, go help them."

  A streak of light flashed out from his space and landed steadily in front of him. Huo Qilin glanced at the person and beast who were advancing, nodded, and quickly darted outward.

  Tang Xin heard his words and finally put her mind at ease, focusing on guiding the spiritual energy in her body to her dantian. She then absorbed the violently erupting spiritual energy back into her body. A strong, dazzling light enveloped both Tang Xin and the beast, filling the small dark room with dense spiritual energy. As the energy in Tang Xin's body surged, a faint golden glow emanated from her, growing stronger until it burst out of her body, causing her strength to leap up several levels. At the same time, the golden light shot out of her body, shining so brightly that it was impossible to look directly at the pair.

  "Ah!"

  She let out a low growl, and the blue clothes on her body were reduced to ashes by the flames within her. She stood there stark naked, and only when the spiritual energy returned to her body and the flames sank from within did she finally open her eyes. Seeing that her clothes had been burned again, she couldn't help but twitch at the corner of her mouth. She took out another set of blue clothes from space and put them on.

  But Mocheng Feng just saw her quickly put on another set of green clothes, raised an eyebrow, and smiled playfully: "Tang Tang, did you see me here and deliberately destroy my clothes again?"

  When she heard this, Tang Xin's mouth twitched again, too lazy to respond to his uninteresting words. Instead, she focused her gaze on the spiritual beast in front of her. It was a creature as large as a chicken, with plumage similar to that of a peacock, its beautiful feathers a mix of blue, green and purple, giving off a stunning impression. Its body had rapidly grown larger when she advanced earlier, and now it stood before her, spreading out its feathers and looking at her. Due to their contract, she knew it was an ancient divine beast, the Qing Luan, a type of divine bird belonging to the phoenix family.

  At this time, the Qing Luan, which was thought to have stabilized, suddenly continued to grow in size. The spiritual energy of its body overflowed outward, and a powerful aura pressed down on the surroundings. In an instant, it felt as if the underground chamber was shaking violently, and with a loud rumbling sound, even the surrounding Xuan Tie couldn't withstand the pressure and aura released by Qing Luan's body. The next moment, the stone slab above its head fell crashing down.

  Mo Chenfeng's expression changed, and he quickly came to her side: "Hurry up and sit on its back, this place is going to collapse!" As they flipped over and sat on the Qingluan's back together, the boulders above their heads also fell down, but because of the Qingluan's powerful aura protecting them, those boulders automatically avoided falling on them and landed beside them instead.

  Outside, Tuoba Chengyuan and Tuoba Ye arrived just in time to see countless dead and wounded guards. In mid-air, a black-robed demon cultivator rode a flying spirit beast, coldly gazing down at the crowd below with fierce eyes that landed on Tuoba Chengyuan's body.

  "Hand over that thing and I might let you have a whole corpse, otherwise, you'll die without a place to be buried!"

  A powerful aura of intimidation swept towards Tuoba Chengyuan, who felt that under the pressure of this strong aura, his legs were trembling. It wasn't fear, but rather that this pressure made it impossible for him to stand up straight. In the face of a stronger opponent's pressure, his feet trembled and he was unable to hold himself together.

  "Go! Protect your mother and brother!" He could only let Tuoba Yu leave to protect them, but the bloody scene in front of him, the fallen guards and servants, made his heart ache. Could it be that he couldn't avoid it after all? Was it really Heaven's will to destroy the Tuoba family?

  Tuobo knew he had to protect his young brother and helpless mother, but as for his father, he couldn't put his mind at ease either. However, the current situation didn't allow him to hesitate, so he gritted his teeth and replied, "Yes!" His figure flashed by, quickly sweeping towards the front and back yards, hoping to rescue them before they came to harm.

  "Think you can leave? It's not that easy!" Ye Yu Shun Hua narrowed his eyes, and with a swift slash of his Wind Blade, he attacked. As a powerful cultivator and a strong warrior, his attack was impossible for Tuoba Ye to dodge. Just as the blade was about to split him in two, Tuoba Hong suddenly shouted "Be careful!" and tried to rush over to protect his son, but he was still half a step too slow. Thinking that all was lost, who would have thought that in the next instant, a fiery red shadow flashed by with a swift whooshing sound, whisking Tuoba Ye away?

  Taking a closer look, it turned out to be a Qilin with four legs standing on flames!

  Hu Qi Lin put Tu Ba Ye aside, indicating that he should leave. Only then did he look at the demonic cultivator in mid-air. It was indeed this demonic cultivator who had eaten his master's wife's tofu. By rights, it should be up to the master himself to deal with him!

  "Primordial Divine Beast: Flame Qilin!"

  Yelü Shūnhuà's fierce gaze narrowed, his fist clenched tightly as he stared at the fire qilin. This fire qilin was the mount of that white-robed man. It appeared here, could it be that the man was also inside? Thinking of this, his gaze became even more gloomy, and the violent aura all over his body surged up rapidly.

  "Not bad, it's me, your young master." Huo Qilin opened its mouth and surprisingly spoke in human language, shocking Tuoba Chengyuan who was standing beside him, staring with his eyes wide open. When did they have a ancient divine beast Huo Qilin here? Whose is this?

  "Is your master here too? Good! I was worried I wouldn't be able to find him!" A fierce and intimidating killing intent filled the air as he condensed his breath with one hand, a sharp gust of wind energy gathering into a ball in his hand, whistling menacingly. The black figure flashed out, striking at Huo Qilin with the attack in his hand.

  "Hum! You dare to fight with me? You're overestimating yourself!"

  Hu Qilin let out a cold snort, raised his head and gave him a disdainful glance. The next moment, he sprang into action, his entire body flying forward with incredible speed. His claws swiped through the air, unleashing a blazing claw attack that struck the demon cultivator with lightning-fast speed.

  "Whoosh!"

  A fierce and terrifying aura swept through the air, bringing with it a powerful oppressive force. The ancient divine beast's oppressive force clashed with that of the demonic cultivators, one person and one beast evenly matched in strength, neither gaining the upper hand. Meanwhile, below, thanks to the help of the Twelve Dragon Riders against those demonic cultivators, the people of the Tuoba family, except for some guards and servants, were all safe and sound. When Tuoba Ye arrived at the backyard, three members of the Twelve Dragon Riders were protecting Tuoba An and his mother and son.

  Mrs. Taoba held one hand, and the two children did not cry or make a fuss. Taoba An had already experienced such a bloody scene once before, and when he looked at those who fell down, his eyes no longer had that fear, but on the contrary, the other child's eyes showed horror, trembling with fear, hiding in Mrs. Taoba's arms, holding her tightly and not letting go.

  "Mother, come with me quickly!" Takashi swiftly approached them, his sword flashing in the air, releasing a sharp blade of energy that sent one of the demonic cultivators flying.

  At this moment, the ground suddenly shook slightly, and a series of loud crashing sounds came from somewhere. He hastily supported his mother and younger brother, while looking around to see where the sound was coming from. But unexpectedly, he saw that the roof of the study had been blown off by a powerful gust of air rising from below, and a low hum like a bird's cry but not quite, clearly entered everyone's ears.

  Immediately following, a spiritual beast emitting purple-blue light flew out from the rooftop that was blown away by the strong wind. Its beautiful plumage was like an exquisite and luxurious dress, its body resembling a chicken, its shape similar to a peacock, with long feathers at the end of its tail opening up and displaying a dazzlingly beautiful glow. On top of this spiritual beast sat two figures, one in blue and one in white. The man was handsome as a celestial being, wearing white clothes that fluttered in the wind, exuding an air of nobility. The woman had a face that could topple cities, wearing green clothes that flowed like water, elegant and refined. The two of them sat together, just like a pair of heavenly-matched golden boy and jade girl. Along with the spiritual beast radiating colorful light, they attracted countless people's astonished gazes at the same time.
