Farewell! Goodbye!
"It's you indeed!" Mu Chenfeng caught sight of the demon cultivator, his phoenix eyes slightly cold. He hadn't forgotten what this demon cultivator had done to Tang Xin last time, and he wasn't going to let him get away with it again! As his aura rose, Huo Qilin leapt forward, positioning itself beneath him as his mount, letting out a low growl before charging towards the demon cultivator.
It's best if the owner comes himself, after all, he should take care of this matter personally.
Yelü Shunhua was drawn in by the cyan-blue glow of the Qingluan at that instant, his gaze fixed and his brow furrowed. Had he actually been a step too slow? The ancient divine beast Qingluan had already hatched and become someone else's contract beast? Who was the woman in the blue dress sitting on top of it?
Just as he was deep in thought, he sensed a dangerous aura approaching him. He quickly came to his senses and saw that it was the white-robed man again. His expression turned even darker. This man not only got in the way but also annoyed him! The spiritual beast under him quickly dodged, but due to its inferior speed compared to the ancient divine beast Fire Qilin, it almost got hit by the wind blade released by the man. A fierce and violent aura suddenly swept across, and with a thought, a black sword appeared in his hand. The demonic nature of the magic repair wrapped around the sword, emitting a powerful aura. As he swung the sword, it shot out like a breaking sound, rushing towards the man on top of the Fire Qilin at an incredible speed that was almost deafening.
"The master is worried that he can't find you, but now you've delivered yourself to his doorstep. This time, the master will definitely kill you!" The violent voice was mixed with a terrifying killing intent, making one's hair stand on end.
"Hiss! Hoot!"
"Then it's up to you to show your skills!" Mu Chenfeng's phoenix eyes narrowed, and a fierce killing intent burst out from his gaze. His entire body was filled with an overwhelming and majestic aura of power. As the strong man released his energy, it instantly spread across half the sky. At this moment, the coldness and killing intent in his eyes, his low and thick voice, and his tough and overbearing posture made Tang Xin involuntarily stunned, as if he had seen the old Mu Chenfeng who was once cold and intimidating...
"Bang! Boom!"
Two air currents collided in the air, and after a loud crash, a thunderous sound suddenly burst open. The powerful airflow accompanied by the oppressive force quickly spread through the air, even covering the bottom, causing the people in the city who were shocked by the tremor of the Takahashi family to exclaim and retreat backwards one after another, avoiding the terrifying and sharp pressure and airflow.
The Tuoba family is a well-known large family in this city, although it can't compare to the four major families of the Tiger Roar Continent, but it's not weak either. Moreover, due to the kindness and generosity of the head of the Tuoba family, many people in the city have a good impression of them. When they heard that something happened to the Tuoba family, many people rushed over to take a look. Some cultivators even thought that if they could lend a hand, they would help out. However, as soon as they arrived at the gate of the Tuoba family's mansion, they were blocked by a strong airflow and couldn't enter.
Only the sound of clashing swords and knives could be heard from inside, but it was unclear what was happening. Just as he was getting anxious and worried, a sudden surprise appeared - the ancient divine beast, Fire Qilin, emerged on the Tiger's Roar Continent! Not long after, a low humming noise started, and everyone outside the Tuoba family's residence could feel a shockwave coming from inside. The ground shook, and a powerful aura burst into the sky as a giant blue bird took flight, with two figures, one in green and one in white, sitting on its back.
"Ah! That's Tang Xin! The Ghost Hand Heavenly Doctor, Tang Xin! She was in Xiangping just a few days ago, I didn't expect her to be here now, and she's even appeared at the Tuoba residence. Look quickly, that person is indeed the Ghost Hand Heavenly Doctor, Tang Xin! Her elixir attracted three heavenly thunders, shaking the entire Hu Xiao continent! It's really her! She's Tang Xin!"
As the man's exclamation, the crowd's astonished gaze fell on the blue-clothed woman sitting on the divine bird. It turned out that the woman was Tang Xin? Although it was so far away, her absolutely beautiful face and stunning figure were indeed breathtaking. Anyone who had seen her once would probably never forget her appearance.
"It turned out that she was Tang Xin. People say her medical skills are very impressive, even the paralyzed young master of the Hua family can be cured..."
"I didn't expect that we could also see her, she's really beautiful, no wonder Li Yuanchun took a fancy to her beauty and wanted to take over her body."
"What kind of spiritual beast is her mount? So big and beautiful..."
"Who is that man in white clothes to her again? I heard that a few days ago in Xiangping City, the man in white clothes was also there."
"I'm just curious, what does the heavenly pill that brought three thunderbolts look like? Will she take it out for auction?"
The people below, after realizing that the woman in green was Tang Xin, were all whispering and marveling to each other, looking at the rising star who had emerged in just two short years, right before their eyes. They all felt like it was a dream, something that seemed unbelievable.
At the same time, they were originally worried that the Tuoba family would encounter misfortune. Now seeing Tang Xin standing on the side of the Tuoba family, one by one, they put their hearts at ease. With her there, perhaps those people wouldn't dare to harm the master of the Tuoba family.
Tang Xin's eyes swept down, her gaze passing over the people of the Tuoba family, seeing many dead and wounded. Her eyes condensed, the evil cultivator's methods were indeed ruthless, as soon as they entered, it was such a massacre. A good Tuoba family was actually made into a field of corpses, with blood all over the ground.
Tang Xin? Is that green-robed woman really Tang Xin, the so-called Ghost Hand Divine Doctor who rose to fame in the Tiger's Roar Continent?
Yelü Chún's gaze flashed with a hint of cruelty as he looked at the woman in green, and now that he took a closer look, she indeed possessed a stunning beauty, sitting on the back of the ancient divine beast Qing Luan. The aura of nobility and holiness emanating from her made him, as a demonic cultivator, feel a faint sense of unease.
Mo Xiu was a man of utmost evil, belonging to the darkness. But that woman's body was filled with a holy aura, making him feel a hint of longing. The more he looked at her, the more familiar she seemed, not because of her appearance, but because of the aura emanating from her, which was very similar to that of the woman in the Southern Immortal Sect. It was precisely that holy aura that had allowed him to take notice of her at first glance.
A flash of inspiration in his mind, he knew that woman's ordinary face must have been tampered with, could it be...
"Pffft!"
"Dare to be distracted while fighting me? Looking for death?"
Mo Chen's icy voice was filled with a thick murderous aura as he struck the back of that demon cultivator with a palm, unleashing a powerful blow infused with dense spiritual energy. Even the demon cultivator couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood and stumble backward. However, in the instant before he hit the ground, he suddenly darted towards Tang Xin's location, simultaneously commanding his mount, a three-starred striped flying leopard divine beast, to block Mo Chen's path.
Seeing his movements, Mu Chenfeng's lips curled up with a cold smile without temperature. He glanced in the direction where Tang Xin was, then withdrew his gaze and looked at the flying leopard that was coming towards him. A mere three-star divine beast dared to block his way? How ridiculous!
A cold glint flashed in his phoenix-like eyes, and he leaped down from the back of the Fire Qilin. His thin lips moved slightly, and a chilly, icy voice came out of his mouth: "Kill him!" As soon as the words fell, he didn't rush forward hastily. The demon cultivator had been severely injured by his palm strike, so let Tang Xin handle it herself; if she couldn't defeat him, he could always step in later!
"Roar!"
Hu Qilin let out a low growl, and with its four legs stepping on the flames, it suddenly pounced towards the three-star divine beast. For spiritual beasts, their crystal stones and inner elixirs were of great help in advancing their ranks, and the higher the rank, the more so. If it killed this three-star divine beast and ate its inner elixir, it might even advance in rank. Thinking of this benefit, its attack became even more fierce.
Those common people saw the two divine beasts facing each other, fighting fiercely in mid-air, and couldn't help but be amazed. Such a scene, these city dwellers had never seen before, nor had they ever had the opportunity to see it. Now, such an exciting scene was happening right in front of them, also making them realize that among spiritual beasts, it was also a case of survival of the fittest, where strength was revered!
"It's you after all!"
As he drew closer, catching the whiff of fragrance emanating from her body, Ye Lu Shunhua's fierce gaze narrowed, a hint of dark light flashing across the depths of his eyes. He reached out to grab her and pull her into his arms, but just as he was about to succeed, the woman suddenly made a strange move.
Tang Xin's body shot up, her hands moving at an unfathomable speed, like a ghostly apparition. One hand seemed to split into multiple shadows, making it impossible to distinguish which one was real and which one was fake. The spiritual energy and fierce dark energy emanating from her claws made Yelü Shunhua's heart skip a beat. How much time had passed? Her speed had increased by so much, had her strength improved again?
This discovery shocked him greatly, for the ghostly hand swiftly and accurately struck his chest, its speed so fast that he couldn't dodge it even with his body leaning forward, and could only suddenly turn sideways. At the same time as he turned sideways, her hand also transformed in a strange way, and the five claws imbued with spiritual energy deeply pierced his shoulder. With a whooshing sound, blood seeped out, and he couldn't help but take a sudden breath back.
"Hiss!"
"This is what I owe you!" A hint of murderous intent flashed in her eyes, and the demon cultivator in front of her made her think of taking his life. At that time, she had just entered the foundation period and was not his opponent at all. Now, he was injured by Mu Chenfeng, suffered internal injuries, and his breath was unstable. Moreover, she had advanced to a higher level due to her contract with Qing Luan, although she had not yet reached the Golden Elixir stage, but in terms of speed and strength, she had greatly improved. This was the best time to take his life!
Yelü Chounu was stunned for a moment, the next moment, the deeply inserted hand into his shoulder was withdrawn, and the severe pain came again, making him suddenly come back to his senses. Seeing that hand stained with blood coming towards him again, he quickly retreated from her side, one hand pressed against the wound several times, sealing off the flow of qi and blood, stopping the bleeding.
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't have predicted that she would be able to improve her strength so quickly in such a short period of time! Looking at that stunningly beautiful face, a determined light surged up in his eyes. This woman, he had decided on! The harder it was for him to get her, the more he wanted to get her! And before that, he must first take care of that man in white!
His fierce gaze swept towards Mo Chenfeng on the side, and once the killing intent was formed in his heart, the disparity in strength made him even more determined. No matter what method he used, this man would not let him off easy!
"Hiss!"
"It's you who has set your sights on the Takahashi family's giant egg? Unfortunately, you're one step too late!" A figure in a blue robe floated in mid-air with a gentle smile playing on her lips, but the smile didn't quite reach her eyes. The blue robe rustled softly due to the flow of air around her body, and her stunning face, unparalleled elegance, sacred and noble aura all left people breathless and stunned. At the same time, they were also captivated by her majestic bearing and demeanor.
The people outside the Nataku family, as well as the cultivators, gazed at her with eyes that changed from shock to fervor. They had never seen a woman with such an absolutely beautiful face and demeanor. She floated in mid-air, looking so noble, so unattainable, like a celestial goddess in the clouds, making people dare not have any profane thoughts. Uncontrollably, their hearts surged with a wave of reverence and admiration. With her female form, she had achieved such an extraordinary life path, and while she was famous throughout the Dragon Continent, she also left behind a name that inspired reverence and admiration on this Tiger Continent...
The next moment, everyone saw her flying out at the same time, a sharp dagger in her hand refracted a cold and fierce light, killing intent rose, air flow surged, and her quick movements like a ghost swept towards Ye Lu Shunhua. The obvious murderous move was danced by her so beautifully, like a dance, so mesmerizing that people couldn't look away.
Ye Lü Shùnhuà was severely injured, and his shoulder was also wounded by Tang Xin. The people he brought with him were almost wiped out under the fierce fighting power of the twelve dragon riders. As he watched Tang Xin's fierce attacks coming towards him, a dark glow flashed across his eyes, and he suddenly threw back his head and laughed loudly: "Haha! You think you can kill me? You're not even qualified! Today, I was careless and got hurt by you, but when we meet again, I'll return it to you a hundredfold!" His gaze fell on Mù Zhēnfēng's body, and his eyes scanned over, seeing that his mount had been killed by the Fire Qilin. As he retreated backwards, he took out a scroll from space and gazed at Tang Xin in front of him with a mysterious smile: "We'll meet again, Tang Xin. I've got my sights on you! Haha..."
Tang Xin's eyes flashed, and at the same time he attacked, a dazzling light burst out, but in the blink of an eye, the demon cultivator disappeared without a trace...
"Escape Axis Scroll." Mu Chenfeng's phoenix eyes narrowed, and he came to Tang Xin's face: "Let him escape again." Escape Axis Scroll, a special space axis scroll used for escaping, extremely precious, even the Tiger Roar Continent had never seen one before, but that demon cultivator had one, it seemed that he was not a demon cultivator from the Tiger Roar Continent.
Thinking of those words before he left, he couldn't help but lower his eyes and sink into thought. The demon's gaze at Tang Xin was not ordinary, it was a gaze that was bound to happen, an unyielding determination. He would appear again, and next time, his strength would surely increase greatly. Not afraid of ten thousand, only afraid of one in ten thousand. It seems that he also needs to return to the Immortal Realm to intensify his cultivation and further enhance his strength.
As they turned and fell into the Tuoba family's house, the people outside could no longer see their figures, but they did not dare to rush forward suddenly. In mid-air, only that blue-green divine bird was still circling around, as if it had broken out of its shell and was celebrating with joy. The colorful and beautiful feathers, as well as its elegant and agile posture, made them involuntarily gasp in wonder once again.
"So beautiful..."
"Thank you both!" Tuoba Chengyuan stepped forward and bowed deeply to the two of them.
"It's not necessary for the head of the Tuoba family to be so polite." Tang Xin helped him up and said, "Those demonic cultivators have injured many of your people. For now, it's better to focus on sorting out the internal affairs of your family. My identity has been exposed here, so I shouldn't stay for long."
"Are you two leaving?" He was shocked: "I still want to keep the two of you at home and treat you well, to thank you for saving my Tuoba family from being exterminated!"
At this time, Tuobo Ye and his mother, as well as two children, also walked quickly over: "Tang Xin, are you leaving?"
"Hmm, I have many enemies, and my identity has been exposed. If I stay here with you, I'm afraid it will bring trouble to you." She looked up at the sky where a blue-green divine bird was circling, and at this moment, the bird seemed to know she was looking at it, flying down a bit, a gentle woman's voice floated out.
"I have finally found my origin, I am Qing Luan, the ancient divine beast. Thank you, Tuoba family, for guarding me for many years, allowing me to wait for my master."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the Tuo Ba family was stunned. At the same time, Tuo Ba Chengyuan felt a mix of surprise and relief in his heart, realizing that it had been waiting for Tang Xin's appearance here for hundreds of years...
The people outside the Tuoba family's house heard this and were shocked, one by one gasping in unison. The Tuoba family had actually protected such an ancient divine beast? But why did it become Tang Xin's contract beast?
Tuoba Ye looked at the green bird for a moment, then turned to Tang Xin: "Tang Xin, actually there's another thing, it's him." He pushed forward another child who resembled Xiao An: "From just now, he suddenly became like this, like a lifeless doll. What do you think is going on?" Because he heard that this might also be his younger brother, he was really worried. If something happened to his body, while Tang Xin was still there, it would be good to have her take a look.
Her bright eyes gazed at that child, the originally spirited child now had a dull and lifeless stare, like an empty shell devoid of its soul. The delicate small face also looked pale and wan. Looking at this face identical to Xiao An's, she couldn't help but think of Xia Yu, who was also a twin, and how she left just like that...
She couldn't bear to see another one of the twins in front of her die, so she sighed and said: "I was guessing earlier that he might be like a soulless shell, except for his appearance, all his movements and everything else were imitated over time, plus being possessed by someone, losing himself, only then could he be convinced that he was Xiao An in such a situation. However, once the person possessing him left, he became a soulless person like this."
"Can he recover? Can he go back to the way he was before?" Takahashi's mother asked anxiously, this is her child! A child she didn't even know existed, yet someone cruelly took him away from her side and now he's become like this...
Tang Xin let out a soft sigh, stepped forward and took the child's hand, injecting a thread of spiritual energy to examine him. After a brief moment, he said: "I can only tell you that if he removes the Soul-Sealing Technique in the future, it is estimated that he will not be able to return to being the simple child he once was, but instead will become a ruthless and cunning demonic cultivator."
"What? Why?" Several cries of surprise rose up in unison, looking at Tang Xin.
"There is a presence of evil energy in his body, a resistance to spiritual power. I reckon this child has cultivated before, but it's demonic cultivation. Fortunately, he hasn't been cultivating for long and is still young, but wanting to turn him away from the demonic path will take time.
It's despicable that he was led astray by the demonic path at such a young age! Once on the demonic path, becoming a demonic cultivator, it's extremely difficult to leave the evil path, with some even unable to escape. This young child has already ruined his life because of entering the demonic path."
Upon hearing this, the people of the Tuoba family were shocked and worried. This meant that the child was ruined, didn't it? Especially Tuoba Chengyuan and his wife, they had just found out that they had another son who was taken away, thinking they could be reunited, but didn't want to face such a situation...
"Tang Xin, is there really no other way?" Ta Ba Ye couldn't bear to see his parents blaming themselves like that and spoke up again.
She glanced at them and sighed, "There is a way, but this child must follow me. Now he's completely a person without will, just a puppet that only listens to orders. It's not something that can be restored in a day or two, nor can it be corrected from the devil's path in a year or two."
"Your meaning is that if he follows you, you can make him a normal person and even leave the evil path?"
"It's not that easy to get rid of the evil demon, it also depends on his own strength, maybe it takes a few years, or even decades, can you wait?" Qing Miao looked at them, she found it hard to understand their feelings. If it weren't for seeing how they had protected her ancient divine beast Qing Luan for so long and her friendship with Tuo Ba Ye, she wouldn't have taken on such a troublesome matter.
Upon hearing this, Tuoba Chengyuan and his wife exchanged a glance, nodded, and suddenly knelt down in front of her: "Miss Tang, we are ashamed to be the parents of this child. Our own child was taken away without our knowledge, and now that we've met him again, we can't do anything for him. Seeing him become like this, our hearts aren't at ease either. Miss Tang, we trust you, and we're willing to give our child to you, no matter how many years it takes, no matter if he'll come back to recognize us in the future. We just hope that he can have a normal life. Please take him in!"
Seeing this, Tuoba Ye also secretly sighed and looked at Tang Xin. He knew that she had many enemies and his own situation was also very dangerous. With the addition of this child by her side, he would have to go and protect him too. This matter was fundamentally not beneficial to her in any way, but he couldn't just watch and do nothing.
