Chapter 319: The Hospitable Exotic Beasts

Its body grew very quickly, nearly two or three times larger than when it was first born.

The nest made of Xu Ke's hair could no longer contain him.

Fortunately, a layer of fine fur began to grow on Li Fan's bald body.

He would likely be able to fly on his own before long.

This trip to the Fallen Immortal Realm seemed particularly peaceful.

Staying by Xu Ke's side all day, there were no crises, but similarly, no Opportunities were encountered.

Just as the time Li Fan could remain in the Fallen Immortal Realm had less than three days left, a change suddenly occurred.

That day, a resounding Dragon's roar echoed throughout the territory of the Beast Taming Sect.

A green light illuminated the world, and the wind and clouds above immediately shifted.

Li Fan looked up and saw a massive Dragon claw looming through the cover of the clouds, blotting out the sun.

Although the Dragon claw was far up in the high heavens and Li Fan was not its direct target,

but the pressure it inadvertently emitted made the young Li Fan tremble uncontrollably.

It was the suppression of absolute power, making him unable to even conceive the thought of resistance.

As if facing some enemy, the Dragon claw struck out fiercely toward the Void Realm ahead.

Li Fan's heart stopped as he watched this strike that seemed capable of destroying heaven and earth.

However… nothing happened.

As if met with an absolute barrier, the Dragon claw could neither advance nor retreat, trapped in place.

"Is this the Beast Taming Sect's hospitality?"

A moment later, a very pleasant voice rang out.

It spread throughout the world.

It sounded frail and incredibly gentle.

While the voice echoed between heaven and earth, as a companion Spirit Beast, Li Fan keenly sensed Xu Ke's body trembling slightly.

Not because of fear, but because of excitement and confusion.

"Mr. Bai?"

His eyes were somewhat dazed, seemingly in disbelief.

As if responding to his words, Mr. Bai's soft voice rang out again.

"Nice Dragon claw. I'll take it back to nourish the children's bodies."

Before the voice faded, a beam of light suppressed the green light filling the sky.

A miserable Dragon's howl echoed, and that massive, seemingly invincible Dragon claw was directly severed, disappearing from the sky.

A figure could be vaguely seen standing where the Dragon claw had been.

The severing of the Dragon claw seemed to provoke the anger of the Beast Taming Sect.

In an instant, the sky darkened.

A Vermilion Bird wreathed in flames, a Winged Yellow Dragon, a Winged White Tiger, a two-horned Qilin, a Long-tusked Vicious Dog… one terrifying Exotic Beast after another appeared in the sky.

They surrounded that somewhat thin figure, their ferocious flames towering.

It seemed that in the next moment, they would swarm forward and attack, tearing this provocateur to pieces.

Just then, Mr. Bai spoke again: "Are you all here to give gifts to the children as well?"

The world suddenly fell silent.

The expressions on the faces of the once-ferocious Vicious Beasts all froze.

One man, many Vicious Beasts.

They fell into a bizarre stillness.

"If you don't answer, I'll take that as a yes?"

"It seems I was wrong before; the Beast Taming Sect is indeed warm and hospitable."

Mr. Bai looked toward the Winged White Tiger.

"Nice wings. Eating them should make one run faster."

Because Mr. Bai said so, the White Tiger's wings were broken.

Mr. Bai looked toward the two-horned Qilin again.

"Nice horns. Grinding them into powder can treat bruises and injuries."

Mr. Bai said so, and thus the Qilin lost its horns.

Before Mr. Bai, the Vicious Beasts filling the sky didn't have even the slightest power to resist.

Without even understanding what had happened, a part of their bodies was cut off.

Taken as gifts for the children.

Fear instantly filled the hearts of the Vicious Beasts in the sky.

No longer possessing their former invincible air, they all fled in terror and despair.

But they could not outrun Mr. Bai's gaze.

Wherever his gaze fell, following his unhurried words, one or two Exotic Beasts would always become maimed.

Below, the members of the Beast Taming Sect who witnessed this scene were all plunged into wordless shock.

The Sect Seniors had repeatedly taught them how powerful the Spirit Beasts like the Vermilion Bird, Qilin, Black Tortoise, and Phoenix were.

Yet, what were they seeing now?

These majestic Spirit Beasts, the very foundation of the Beast Taming Sect, were being slaughtered like chickens and dogs.

Who exactly was that figure?

What was his true strength?

And why on earth was he doing this?展

Countless questions swirled in the minds of all the Beast Taming Sect members.

Among everyone, Xu Ke was the most shaken.

His eyes were vacant and lost, not knowing what to do.

"That… shouldn't be Mr. Bai, right?"

"When I left the small temple before, he was clearly just a Mortal."

"He told me so himself…"

Li Fan's reaction was not much better.

Watching Exotic Beasts thousands of times stronger than himself being slaughtered so easily and casually.

This body uncontrollably produced an instinctive fear that spread through his heart.

Li Fan's consciousness could only struggle to gain control of the body, barely managing to look up toward the sky.

To gaze upon that seemingly frail figure.

Just as Xu Ke was falling into a massive crisis of self-doubt, a voice rang out, shattering his last shred of hope.

"Stop, Mr. Bai."

"I know you've come for me."

Lu Ya, dressed in blue, appeared before the thin figure.

And that figure indeed stopped his movements.

He allowed the Vicious Beasts in the sky to flee in panic, no longer taking action.

"Lu Ya, long time no see," Mr. Bai said with a smile.

Lu Ya remained silent.

"Is it really… Mr. Bai?" Seemingly unable to accept this fact, Xu Ke's legs gave way, and he slumped to the ground.

Then, an even greater question couldn't help but well up in his heart.

"Why exactly is Mr. Bai doing this?"

In Xu Ke's eyes, although Mr. Bai was the best person in the world,

the masters, Junior Martial Uncles, and Senior Brothers of the Beast Taming Sect had also treated Xu Ke very well.

"Why?"

Xu Ke fell into a deep state of confusion.

In the sky, Mr. Bai and Lu Ya seemed to be saying something.

Then, the two of them disappeared together.

Below, the Beast Taming Sect gradually began to fall into chaos.

In that instant just now, the authority painstakingly established by the Sect Seniors had been shattered.

Some felt that the Beast Taming Sect was truly overrated and had no future.

Evil thoughts suddenly arose, and they decided to loot and escape amidst the chaos.

Others were completely terrified, hiding in secret rooms and refusing to come out.

Still other loyal Disciples of the Beast Taming Sect felt that the path of the Dao they had pursued all their lives had been trampled upon so easily.

In total despair, they committed suicide… Amidst such chaos, Li Fan suddenly sensed a crisis approaching.

At some point, Song Yang and his Double-headed Snake Spirit Beast had quietly crept up to Xu Ke's side.

Song Yang stared fixedly at Li Fan, his gaze full of greed.
