Unrestrained killing intent arises

“The Supreme Primordial Scripture is a secret of the Supreme Sect that is not passed down. How would Mr. Bai know about it? Could it be that, like Chuan Fa, it was forcibly seized? But that was something Chuan Fa could only do after he had defied the laws of Heaven and Earth and achieved the Chang Sheng Tian Zun Realm. Although Mr. Bai is strong, he doesn't seem to have reached the Chang Sheng Realm, does he?”

More doubts instantly arose in Li Fan's heart.

In just this short time, Xu Ke had already dispersed his Beast Taming Incantation Cultivation Technique.

“Little Black, look, it’s so amazing! My cultivation is really still in my Dantian!” Xu Ke exclaimed excitedly to Li Fan.

Hearing Xu Ke's words, Li Fan no longer felt the same closeness as before. Instead, a scarlet flash passed through his eyes, and a sudden surge of malevolence rose in his heart. Driven by instinct, he almost tore the noisy little thing in front of him to shreds.

Fortunately, it was Li Fan, not the Heavenly Fate Blackbird itself, who was controlling this body. So, after only a moment, Li Fan returned to normal.

Xu Ke was completely unaware that he had just walked past the gates of hell. Instead, he foolishly rushed over, touching Li Fan all over. He even asked with great concern, “Little Black, what’s wrong? You looked so scary just now!”

“It’s better if you stay away from me now. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee that I’ll be able to control myself next time and not attack you,” Li Fan threatened, glancing at Xu Ke.

As if to confirm Li Fan's words, the roars of Yao Beasts and the screams of Cultivators echoed one after another within the Beast Taming Sect.

“Our innate nature is fierce and we view humans as food. We were just controlled and suppressed by the Beast Taming Incantation before. Now that the shackles have suddenly been removed, the Yao Beasts that have been with Cultivators for a long time are fine, as they have developed some feelings. But those Yao Beasts that ordinary Disciples have only recently tamed will likely attack their original masters first once they regain their freedom,” Li Fan said coldly.

The screams of Disciples continued to ring out. Xu Ke glanced outside and seemed to see the bloody scene, his face turning a little pale: “That’s truly terrifying! Did Sect Leader and the others not think of this beforehand?”

Then he put on a playful face and leaned in: “But I’m so good to you, Little Black, so there shouldn’t be any danger, right?”

Li Fan felt the fierce Qi within his body, which, though temporarily suppressed, had not dissipated at all and could erupt again at any moment. He remained silent.

He seemed to understand the reason why Little Black eventually separated from Xu Ke in history.

Just as he explained to Xu Ke, Yao Beasts are inherently cruel and find it difficult to coexist peacefully with humans. Even if, initially, they could suppress their killing intent again and again through the emotions cultivated from years of being together.

But over time, the killing intent would accumulate, and eventually, there would come a day when it could no longer be suppressed. Once it fully erupted, the so-called bond would likely be as fragile as paper.

And the huge power gap between the Yao Beasts and the Beast Taming Sect Cultivators also meant that if a loss of control occurred, the Cultivators would inevitably meet a tragic end.

“Is this the obsession that maintains the Beast Taming Sect Incident? Because the Heavenly Fate Blackbird, Little Black, couldn’t control its own murderous emotions, it ultimately led to its separation from its master, Xu Ke. From then on, they never saw each other again?”

“If that’s the case, perhaps there’s a way to resolve its obsession this time,” a thought inexplicably surfaced in Li Fan's mind.

Possessing the Xuanhuang Immortal Heart Mantra, Li Fan's self-control was far beyond what a Yao Beast could achieve. Li Fan was confident that even if the killing intent surged like a mighty wave, his will would be like an unbreakable dam, always firmly restraining it.

As his thoughts churned, Li Fan did not directly answer Xu Ke's question.

Instead, he sneered and said, “Di Sanmo, that fellow, is known as the Beast of Wisdom. With him around, how could he not have considered the current situation?”

“Then still…” Xu Ke’s eyes widened at the words.

“The great calamity has just begun, and the Beast Taming Sect, one of the Immortal Dao Ten Sects, is already preparing to flee. If this gets out, what a blow it would be to the Cultivators of the world. The other Sects of the Immortal Dao Ten Sects would also mostly disagree with this move and would surely come forward to obstruct it.”

“Naturally, an explanation must be given to the Cultivation World of Xuanhuang World. What if the Disciples kill each other and the Sect suffers heavy losses because the Cultivation Techniques cannot be cultivated together? After all, this widespread bloody Qi cannot be faked.”

“It can also serve as a cover for evacuating the Small World,” Li Fan spoke eloquently.

Xu Ke couldn't help but shiver: “The minds of adults are truly terrifying.”

Then, he stared at Li Fan again, his face full of confusion: “But, Little Black, when did you become so smart? Did you secretly eat some Heaven And Earth Treasure recently? That shouldn't be, I've been watching you all along…”

When Li Fan heard Xu Ke's words, a surge of tyrannical killing intent couldn't help but rise in his heart again. He gave the other party a fierce claw, venting a little, before slowly suppressing it.

The turmoil within the Beast Taming Sect lasted for three or four days.

Although a large number of lower-level Disciples died or were injured, the out-of-control Yao Beasts were quickly recaptured and confined. The core strength of the School, including elite Disciples and various Elders, was temporarily unaffected.

The plan to evacuate the Xuanhuang World was proceeding in an orderly manner.

During this process, Li Fan also learned another reason why the Beast Taming Sect was so eager to evacuate, from fragmented conversations among the Disciples within the School.

That was to prevent the frantic retaliation of the Yao Beasts.

If Yao Beasts and humans were two different races with conflicts and competing for survival resources.

Then the relationship between Yao Beasts and the Beast Taming Sect was one of endless enmity.

Yao Beasts are inherently arrogant, believing their status to be above that of mere humans. However, the Beast Taming Sect actually used despicable means to control and enslave Yao Beasts. This, for the Yao Beasts, was naturally a great humiliation.

In the past, the Beast Taming Sect was located deep within human territory, and there were many powerful Yao Beasts within the School that had been captured and controlled by Cultivators.

So, even if some Yao Beasts wanted revenge, they were basically powerless. Instead, they risked being captured alive and enslaved themselves.

But times were different now. The news of the “Cultivation Techniques cannot be cultivated together” great calamity would surely spread to the Yao Beasts soon. How could the vengeful Yao Beasts miss this Heavenly Fate opportunity? They would certainly come knocking constantly.

Not to mention whether the Beast Taming Sect could withstand the Yao Beasts' retaliation. If the two sides truly started fighting at that time, it was truly hard to say who these unrestrained Yao Beasts within the Beast Taming Sect would help.

To avoid such a terrifying situation, evacuating to a safe area was already a matter of extreme urgency.

“Beast Taming Sect Disciples, listen up! Only Yao Beasts that pass the ‘Concentric Ring’ test can evacuate with us. If there are any failures…”

“Then let them go!”

Soon, a notice spread throughout the entire Beast Taming Sect.
