Chapter 340: 317: Hospitable Exotic Beasts
The nest made from Xu Ke’s hair was gradually becoming too small for it.
However, luckily on Li Fan’s bald body, a layer of fine fur began to grow.
Presumably, it would be able to fly on its own soon.
This trip to the Fallen Immortal Realm seemed exceptionally calm.
Spending the whole day by Xu Ke’s side, there were no crises, and likewise, no opportunities encountered.
Just when there were only three days left for Li Fan to survive in the Fallen Immortal Realm, a sudden change occurred.
One day, a clear dragon’s roar echoed throughout the entire territory of the Beast Taming Sect.
A blue light shone on Heaven and Earth, and the sky above immediately stirred with changing clouds.
Li Fan looked up, only to see within the cloud cover in the sky, the claws of a giant dragon, partially visible and partially hidden, casting a shadow over the sun.
Although the dragon’s claw was high in the sky above, and Li Fan was not its direct target.
Even its unintentionally emitted pressure made the young Li Fan shiver uncontrollably.
It was the absolute suppression of power, such that he could not even think of rebellion.
As if facing some enemy, the dragon’s claw grabbed fiercely at the void in front of it.
Li Fan’s heart stopped, watching this strike seemingly powerful enough to shatter Heaven and Earth.
However…
Nothing happened.
As if it had met with an absolute blockade, the dragon’s claw, was unable to move, trapped in an original spot.
“Is this the hospitality of the Beast Taming Sect?”
A moment later, a very pleasant voice sounded, echoing through Heaven and Earth.
Delicate, frail, supremely gentle.
At the same moment as the voice reverberated through Heaven and Earth, Li Fan, as a Spirit Beast, keenly felt Xu Ke’s body trembling slightly.
Not out of fear, but due to excitement and confusion.
“Mr. Bai?”
His expression looked somewhat lost, as if he found it hard to believe.
As if in response to his words, Mr. Bai’s gentle voice once again sounded.
“The dragon claw is nice. Just right to be taken back and used to fortify the children’s bodies.”
Before his words had ceased, a ray of light pressed down on the blue light covering the sky.
The mournful dragon roar echoed, and that gigantic, seemingly invincible dragon claw, was just so straightforwardly chopped off and disappeared into the vault of heaven.
In the distance, one could vaguely see a silhouette standing where the dragon claw once was.
The falling of the dragon claw seemed to have provoked the Beast Taming Sect’s wrath.
In a moment, the sky darkened.
A phoenix covered in flames, a winged dragon, a double-winged white tiger, a two-horned unicorn, a long-tusked vicious hound…
One terrifying exotic beast after another emerged in the sky.
Surrounding that slightly weak figure, with flames of fury.
It seemed that the next moment, they would swarm and attack, tearing this provocateur to pieces.
Just at this moment, Mr. Bai once again spoke: “Are you also here to bring gifts for the children?”
Suddenly, Heaven and Earth quietened down.
The expressions on the faces of the original ferocious exotic beasts all froze.
One man, numerous fierce beasts.
Fell into a strange stillness.
“If you don’t answer, that means you agree?”
“It seems I was wrong before, the Beast Taming Sect is indeed hospitable.”
Mr. Bai looked at the double-winged white tiger.
“The wings are nice, if eaten, you should be able to run faster.”
Because Mr. Bai had said so, the white tiger lost its wings.
Mr. Bai then looked at the two-horned unicorn.
“The horns are nice, if ground into powder, they can heal wounds and bruises.”
Because Mr. Bai said so, the unicorn lost its horns.
The numerous fierce beasts in the sky had no power to resist in front of Mr. Bai.
They didn’t even understand what had happened, as some part of their bodies were cut off.
These were treated as gifts for the children.
Fear suddenly filled the hearts of the ferocious beasts in the sky.
Gone was their previously invincible demeanor, replaced by terrified and desperate expressions as they fled.
But they couldn’t escape Mr. Bai’s gaze.
Wherever his gaze landed, alongside his unhurried speech, one or two Exotic Beasts would be crippled.
The Beast Taming Sect members below, who were observing this scene, were all struck dumb with astonishment.
Their seniors in the sect had repeatedly drilled into them how powerful the Spirit Beasts, such as the Vermilion Bird, the Qilin, the Black Tortoise, and the Phoenix, were.
Yet, what were they witnessing now?
The dignified Spirit Beasts, the cornerstone of the Beast Taming Sect, were being butchered like chickens and dogs.
Who was that figure up there?
What was his strength?
Why would he do such a thing?
Countless questions swirled in the minds of all the Beast Taming Sect members.
Among them, Xu Ke was the most shaken.
Lost and unsure as he stared blankly ahead.
“That… That can’t be Mr. Bai, can it?”
“When I left the little temple earlier, he was clearly just a mortal.”
“He told me so himself…”
Li Fan’s reaction was not much better.
Witnessing the Exotic Beasts, millions of times stronger than himself, being slaughtered so casually.
His body couldn’t suppress the primal fear that rose instinctively, wrapping around his heart.
And Li Fan’s consciousness was struggling to regain control of his body, forcing himself to look up at the sky.
Admiring that somewhat frail-looking figure.
Just as Xu Ke was falling into a great self-doubt, a voice echoed, shattering his last hope.
“Hold your hand, Mr. Bai.”
“I know you came for me.”
Lu Ya, in his blue robe, appeared in front of the slender figure.
And that figure, indeed, stopped his actions.
He let the Exotic Beasts in the sky flee in panic, without striking again.
“Lu Ya, it’s been a long time.” Mr. Bai said with a smile.
Lu Ya remained silent.
“It really is… Mr. Bai?” Xu Ke struggled to accept this reality, his legs giving out beneath him as he collapsed to the ground.
Then another bigger question emerged in his mind.
“Mr. Bai, why would you do this?”
In Xu Ke’s eyes, although Mr. Bai was the world’s best person.
But the masters and seniors of the Beast Taming Sect had also treated Xu Ke well.
“Why?”
Xu Ke’s mind plunged into deep confusion.
In the sky, Mr. Bai and Lu Ya seemed to be talking about something.
Then the two disappeared together.
However, chaos gradually erupted in Beast Taming Sect down below.
In an instant, the prestige that the seniors of the sect had painstakingly built was shattered.
Some Sect members felt that the Beast Taming Sect was over hyped with no future.
Ill intentions rose in their hearts, as they decided to loot and flee in the chaos.
Others, completely terrified, hid in the secret room, refusing to come out.
And those loyal disciples of the Beast Taming Sect felt that the path they had pursued all their lives had been trampled on so effortlessly.
Under the despair, they committed suicide.
In this chaos, Li Fan suddenly became aware of imminent danger.
Unbeknownst to him, Song Yang and his Double-headed Snake Spirit Beast had quietly approached Xu Ke.
Song Yang fixed his eyes on Li Fan, greed filling his gaze.
