His body grew rapidly, almost two to three times larger than when he was born.
The nest made from Xu Ke's hair was gradually becoming too small to contain him.
Fortunately, fine hair started growing on Li Fan's otherwise bald body.
Presumably, he would be able to fly on his own soon.
This journey in the Immortal Fall Realm seemed particularly calm.
Staying by Xu Ke's side all day, there was no crisis, but there was also no encounter with any opportunities.
Just when the time Li Fan could survive in the Immortal Fall Realm was less than three days, a sudden change occurred.
One day, a loud dragon roar echoed throughout the entire territory of the Beast Taming Sect.
A green light illuminated the sky, and the atmosphere above suddenly changed.
Li Fan looked up and saw a huge dragon claw faintly visible through the clouds, covering the sky.
Although the dragon claw was far in the high sky and not directly targeting Li Fan, the pressure it emitted made the young Li Fan shiver uncontrollably.
It was an absolute suppression of strength, making him unable to even think about resisting.
Seemingly facing some enemy, the dragon claw fiercely swiped forward into the void.
Li Fan's heart stopped as he watched this seemingly world-destroying attack.
However...
Nothing happened.
As if encountering an absolute barrier, the dragon claw couldn't advance or retreat, trapped in place.
"Is this the hospitality of the Beast Taming Sect?"
After a moment, a very pleasant voice rang out, spreading throughout the heavens and earth.
Soft and gentle.
While the voice echoed between heaven and earth, Li Fan, as the spirit beast, keenly sensed Xu Ke's body trembling slightly, not out of fear but excitement and doubt.
"Mr. Bai?"
His eyes seemed a bit dazed, as if finding it somewhat unbelievable.
As if responding to him, Mr. Bai's gentle voice sounded again.
"The dragon claw is not bad. Let's bring it back to feed the children."
As the voice fell, a light suppressed the overwhelming green glow.
A pitiful dragon roar echoed, and that enormous and seemingly arrogant dragon claw was directly chopped off, disappearing from the sky.
Faintly visible, a figure stood where the dragon claw had been.
The severed dragon claw seemed to have provoked the anger of the Beast Taming Sect.
In an instant, the sky darkened.
Vermilion phoenix engulfed in flames, winged yellow dragon, double-winged white tiger, twin-horned unicorn, fierce and vicious long-limbed dog...
One terrifying beast after another appeared in the sky.
Surrounding that somewhat slender figure, a fierce aura engulfed the surroundings.
It seemed that at the next moment, they would swarm and launch an attack, tearing the provocateur into pieces.
At this moment, Mr. Bai spoke again, "Are you here to bring gifts to the children as well?"
The world suddenly fell silent.
The originally ferocious and evil-looking spirit beasts all froze on their faces.
One man against many fierce beasts.
Fell into a bizarre standstill.
"If you don't answer, it means you agree, right?"
"It seems I was wrong before. The Beast Taming Sect is indeed hospitable."
Mr. Bai looked at the double-winged white tiger.
"Wings are good; eating them should make you run faster."
Because Mr. Bai said so, the white tiger lost its wings.
Mr. Bai looked at the twin-horned unicorn again.
"Horns are good; grind them into powder, and they can treat bruises and injuries."
Because Mr. Bai said so, the unicorn lost its horns.
In front of Mr. Bai, the ferocious beasts had no resistance at all.
They didn't understand what had happened. Some organ in their bodies was cut off.
Taken as gifts for the children.
Chapter 319: Hospitable Beasts
Fear suddenly filled the hearts of the fierce beasts in the sky.
They no longer had the arrogant demeanor from before; all of them wore expressions of fear and desperation as they fled.
But they couldn't escape the gaze of Mr. Bai.
Wherever his gaze fell, with his unhurried words, one or two spirit beasts would become mutilated.
And the Beast Taming Sect members below, witnessing this scene, fell into a speechless shock.
The elders of the sect had always taught them about the strength of powerful spirit beasts like Vermilion Phoenix, Qilin, Xuanwu, and Phoenix.
However, what were they seeing now? These majestic and foundational spirit beasts of the Beast Taming Sect were now as vulnerable as chickens and dogs, slaughtered at will.
Who was that figure? What kind of power did he possess? Why did he do this?
Countless questions lingered in the minds of all Beast Taming Sect members.
Among them, Xu Ke was the most shaken.
His eyes were filled with confusion, not knowing what to do.
"That... It can't be Mr. Bai, right?"
"When I left the small temple earlier, he was still just an ordinary person."
"He personally told me..."
Li Fan's reaction wasn't much better.
Looking at the fierce beasts, thousands of times more powerful than himself, being so easily and casually slaughtered, an instinctive fear uncontrollably surged through his body, spreading around his heart.
And Li Fan's consciousness, struggling to gain control of his body, reluctantly looked up at the sky.
Gazing at that seemingly slender figure.
Just as Xu Ke was sinking into profound self-doubt, a voice rang out, shattering his momentary shock.
"Stop, Mr. Bai."
"I know you're here for me."
Lan Ya, dressed in blue, appeared in front of the slender figure.
And that figure indeed stopped its actions.
Allowing the fleeing spirit beasts to escape in confusion, he made no further moves.
"Lan Ya, long time no see." Mr. Bai smiled.
Lan Ya remained silent.
"Is it really... Mr. Bai?" As if finding it difficult to accept this fact, Xu Ke's legs weakened, and he fell to the ground.
Then, an even bigger question surged in his mind.
"Mr. Bai, why did you do this?"
In Xu Ke's eyes, Mr. Bai was the best person in the world. However, the masters, senior brothers, and fellow disciples of the Beast Taming Sect had also treated Xu Ke very well.
"Why?"
Xu Ke sank into deep confusion.
In the sky, Mr. Bai and Lan Ya seemed to be having a conversation.
Then the two disappeared together.
Meanwhile, the Beast Taming Sect below gradually descended into chaos.
In an instant, the authority carefully built by the elders of the sect was shattered.
Some people felt that the Beast Taming Sect was overrated and had no future.
Evil thoughts emerged in their hearts, deciding to take advantage of the chaos to plunder and escape.
Others were completely frightened, hiding in secret rooms and refusing to go outside.
Those loyal disciples of the Beast Taming Sect felt that the path they had pursued their entire lives was easily trampled upon.
In utter despair, some chose to end their lives.
Amidst this chaos, Li Fan suddenly sensed the imminent danger.
He didn't know when, but Song Yang and his double-headed snake spirit beast had quietly approached Xu Ke.
Song Yang's eyes stared fixedly at Li Fan, full of greed.
