The Legendary Master’s Wife - Chap 155

Chapter 155 : Ten Thousand Python Demon Plain

Although the Paradise Realm had the word Paradise in it, the place where it was located was a hundred percent dangerous.

Since the Paradise Realm was located on the Ten Thousand Python Demon Plain, it was said that other than the MoRi Forest, it was the second most dangerous place. Inside, there was an old nest of pythons. The whole demon plain was occupied by thousands and ten thousands of Evil Heavenly Pythons. The strongest ones were level nine, equivalent to Celestial level fighters.

Since it was so, every time the Paradise Realm opened Tang Fan would lead the way, just like fifty years ago. The Qing Cheng Sect and the Xing Luo Sect were also like that. Unless there was a Emperor level and above practitioner present, only then would that level nine Evil Heavenly Python of the Ten Thousand Python Demon Plain not dare to appear.

You XiaoMo stood on top of the Winged Bird. He looked into the distance at the Ten Thousand Python Demon Plain and got a huge shock.

The whole Ten Thousand Python Demon Plain’s terrain was like an exceptional in heaven and earth colossal python. Its serpentine form was entrenched in the middle, from East to West, cutting off mankind from the demon plain. In the middle of the majestic mountain range, bursts of grey smoke rose up continuously, much like the grey smoke that filled the air before a volcano erupted.

Behind this mountain range was the territory of the Evil Heavenly Python, and that was the only demon beast found there. All other demon beasts didn’t dare to step into there because they would be poisoned to death by the grey smoke without the need for the Evil Heavenly Python to make an appearance.

But the strange thing was that the grey smoke that rose up from the mountain range had never spread out of the Ten Thousand Python Demon Plain. That was to say, as long as practitioners didn’t enter into the demon plain on their own, even if they stood on the edge of the plain, they would not be poisoned by the grey smoke.

So when You XiaoMo and Ling Xiao arrived, they saw a group of people assembled at the edge of the Ten Thousand Python Demon Plain.

Among the group of people, there was a group of people that You XiaoMo was familiar with. They were those that came over earlier, Tang Fan and his group of people.

With this glance, You XiaoMo realized that the number of spots the Tian Xin Sect had was forty to fifty people. Subtracting the ten or so mages, there were thirty from the Warrior Division. A huge group of people standing there was extremely eye-catching, especially Tang Fan.

He was an Emperor level practitioner who attracted the gazes of ten thousand eyes. The moment he appeared, he would attract everyone’s attention. Quite a few people went up to him one after another to give their greetings and make small talk.

Other than the Tian Xin Sect, there were also the two big forces, the Qing Cheng Sect and the Xing Luo Sect.

Of the people from Qing Cheng Sect, You XiaoMo only recognized one of them. The one wearing a resplendent fluttering blue robe with silvery white silk thread embroidery glittering like crystals on the robe like dazzling rays restraining the shadows. This attire set off the man, making him appear like a cool and crisp spring. Add to that his handsome features and just by standing, he created a beautiful scene no matter where he was. He attracted the gazes of all the women, making them linger on his body as two pink dots slowly rose on their cheeks.

This man was none other than Qing Cheng Sect’s Luo ShuHe, the talented man of the hour.

Even though Luo ShuHe was very outstanding, the middle aged man standing next to him was by no meant inferior.

You XiaoMo guessed that this middle aged man should be Luo ChengYuan. The one that stole the Tian Xin Sect’s level nine magic pill recipe, the Qing Cheng Sect’s Grand Master. Although he looked like an outstanding man, it was a pity that he was also a treacherous and deceitful man.

As for the Qing Cheng Sect disciples and Elders he led, they were about the same number as those from the Tian Xin Sect. This battle array was not something that could be discounted.

But when compared to these two major sects, the Xing Luo Sect clearly lacked presence.

The small number of disciples who were not wearing grey cloaks all had somewhat pale faces, most probably a result of the techniques they practiced. The others were all covered from top to bottom, wrapped up in grey cloaks, as if they were trying to look mysterious.

Although it was the same thing the last time, this time, the most important one leading the way was missing, the Emperor level group leader of the Xing Luo Sect, ShenTu Dao. Rumor was that he was in closed-door cultivation, unable to come out for the moment. Therefore two Elders were taking his place, one of which was coincidentally someone You XiaoMo recognized.

It was the one who participated in the auction at the Pavilion of Ten Thousand Treasures, Xing Luo Sect’s representative, Ding Shi, with a Seven star Celestial level cultivation. This strength level was clearly insufficient to make an impression so the Xing Luo Sect also sent another Elder, Xiang PengTian, with a Six star Spiritual level cultivation.

Although it was not an Imperial level practitioner, a Six Star Spiritual level practitioner was enough to become an overlord. So no one dared to look down on the Xing Luo Sect, especially the Xiao Yao Sect, the Ji Le Sect, and the Xue Sha clan.

What surprised You XiaoMo was that these three forces also made an appearance.

But as they were second class forces, the number of slots they were allotted was not much. Other than them, there were also independent practitioners.

Independent practitioners were those that were not part of any force. Although they had freedom to do as they wished, they could only depend on themselves on this road of cultivation. Things such as cultivation techniques, level promoting magic pills, and magic herbs, they had to rely on themselves to procure all these.

Since it was like this, murder and robbery was a very common occurrence. Furthermore, without the protection of a group, if they accidentally offended a large force, they would most probably end up dead.

However, the number of independent practitioners could not be discounted.

The number of practitioners on the Long Xiang Continent was in the thousands of ten thousands. Not every one of them were part of some force. For one, those forces were unlikely to accept just anyone. Second, the threshold for entry was high, only accepting the ones with good innate talent. But this didn’t mean that there weren’t any independent practitioners with good innate talent. There were some with good innate talent who were not willing to enter into the major sects.

So in order to prevent the independent practitioners from rioting resentfully, the Tian Xin Sect and the other two major sects would give the independent practitioners ten slots every time the Paradise Realm opened. Who those slots belonged to was up to themselves to decide.

Ling Xiao pat the dazed You XiaoMo, signaling to him that the Winged Bird was about to descend.

You XiaoMo immediately clutched one of Ling Xiao’s arms. He didn’t want a tragic scene to occur when the winged bird descended. Not only would he lose face in front of his fellow disciples, it would be in front of all the practitioners.

The Winged Bird let out a delighted and shrill call at Ling Xiao’s signal. The shrill cry of the Winged Bird immediately attracted the attention of everyone below. Just when everyone raised their heads, the Winged Bird was already diving straight down. A burst of strong wind rose causing a few people to close their eyes. By the time they opened their eyes again, a four to five meter high Winged Bird was in front of their eyes with two people standing on its back.

Taking a clearer look, one of them was surprisingly the genius who shared the same level of fame with Luo ShuHe, ‘Lin Xiao’.

He was different from the cool and crisp Luo ShuHe. Ling Xiao was dressed in a set of snow white gold silk robes, which were fluttering in the wind. His ink black long hair danced elegantly looking rather otherworldly. Like before, a slight gentle smile hung on the corner of his lips making him appear even more scholarly and refined. The sculpted contours of his handsome face also gave people a sense of security.

Maybe because the momentum of his appearance was too strong, everyone looked over expectantly. Ling Xiao took a step with his silver brocade boots and then he simply picked up the one by his side, You XiaoMo, and jumped down.

His actions were swift and smooth. Only after they were firmly on the ground did everyone’s attention shift to the one being carried by Ling Xiao in his arms, stunning each and every one of them.

Which person could actually be carried down by the Tian Xin Sect’s most outstanding talent ‘Lin Xiao’? This wasn’t an honor that was granted easily. It must be said that the number of women who wished to be carried in Lin Xiao’s arms may be enough to wind a few rounds around the Ten Thousand Python Demon Plain.

But when they took a clearer look, they found out that the one he was carrying was actually a babyish youth and the youth’s face was bright red. When they landed on the ground, he anxiously jumped away from ‘Lin Xiao’s’ body. Maybe because he was too hurried, when he jumped down, he twisted one of his ankles but luckily ‘Lin Xiao’ pulled him up in time.

‘Lin Xiao’ had a doting look in his eyes as he smiled gently while saying, “Xiao Shidi, are you OK?”

You XiaoMo glared at him angrily. This fellow was definitely doing it on purpose. But…under everyone’s attention, he didn’t dare to do anything out of the ordinary so he could only reply in a soft voice, “I’m fine.”

Silence encompassed the area…

As everyone was speculating over their relationship, the Tian Xin Sect was unimaginably quiet.

Earlier, when the Winged Bird made its appearance, the people from the Tian Xin Sect already noticed that it was one of theirs. So they instantly guessed that the ones on top would be ‘Lin Xiao’ and Zhou Peng.

Just as Tang YunQi and company walked over happily to greet them, the one at Ling Xiao’s side who should have been Zhou Peng turned out to be the one they disliked the most, You XiaoMo. Tang YunQi and company were so stunned that they couldn’t say a word.

Tang Fan also realized it and his unreadable expression darkened. This was the first time he was showing a displeased expression in front of others. But who would not be displeased when they discovered that they had been tricked by their own disciple. There was no way someone as shrewd as him wouldn’t be able to guess why this Grand disciple of his wanted them to leave first. It looked like this was the reason.

Truthfully speaking, Tang Fan was more and more disappointed with the performance of this Grand disciple.

At first, he only thought that he was fascinated with something novel, so he was getting close to You XiaoMo. But with how the actions he took on behalf of You XiaoMo were getting more and more over the top, Tang Fan realized that something was not right.

If it was just for the sake of novelty, why would he go against his wishes again and again, actually becoming enemies with the other Elders for his sake? Furthermore, ever since the huge change in his character, his actions and conduct were becoming more and more brazen. If it wasn’t because he was absolutely sure that he was undeniably his Grand disciple, he would have suspected that he was sent by the demons to be a secret agent.

But now his actions were becoming more and more outrageous. For the sake of a puny little mage, he actually dared to deceive his own Shifu. This was already a serious blow to his bottom line.

A thunderstorm brewed in Tang Fan’s eyes but it was only for a moment. Now was definitely not the time to pursue this matter, furthermore, if he were to say it out, the Tian Xin Sect would be the subject of ridicule. Also, ‘Lin Xiao’ was really a rare genius and if they were to lose him, it would not be a light blow to the Tian Xin Sect.

Tang YunQi walked over to her father and hugged his arm while saying in an aggrieved tone, “Father, Xiao-ge brought that slut again. This time you must definitely reprimand Xiao-ge.”

Tang Fan said in a deep voice, “Qi-er, you are my, Tang Fan’s, daughter. You shouldn’t say slut so easily. If others hear it, they would think that I, Tang Fan, am someone that doesn’t know how to teach his daughter properly, an unrefined person.”

Tang YunQi seemed to be frightened by his displeased tone. She lowered her head and said hesitantly, “Yes, daughter understands.”

When she said these words, a look of resentment flashed past her eyes as she looked at You XiaoMo with eyes full of hate.

On that side, Ling Xiao also brought You XiaoMo over.

Ling Xiao still had his smiling face on. Even though he could see that Tang Fan’s old face was showing an unhappy expression, he maintained his composure as he walked over and said, “Shifu, I’m here.”

Hearing these words, Tang Fan’s face turned one shade darker, “You’re not planning on giving me an explanation?”

Ling Xiao froze, as if he just realized what he was talking about. He put on an act and slapped himself on the forehead, laughing as he says, “I apologize to Shifu, because of the excitement of seeing everyone, I almost forgot.”

Saying this, he simply pulled You XiaoMo to the front.

You XiaoMo glanced at Tang Fan awkwardly. His expression caused his heart to shiver and he firmly suppressed the urge to hide behind Ling Xiao’s body. Speaking reverently, he said “Greetings to Grand Master!”

“Shifu, this is You-shidi whom you’ve met before at WuShuang mountain. Originally, I was preparing to bring Zhou-shidi together with me but unexpectedly, when we were about to set out, Zhou-shidi experienced some trouble so he couldn’t leave. Coincidentally, Disciple came across You-shidi. In order to avoid being late, Zhou-shidi also agreed to give his slot to You-shidi. So Disciple could only bring him along to make up the numbers.”

The corner of Ling Xiao’s mouth held a slight smile as he spoke. His tone was casual, at a moderate pace, as if he was talking about something unimportant.

His smug expression caused Tang Fan’s face to tighten but as the Grand Master of the Tian Xin Sect, he had long ago learned to control his expressions, bringing it to the point of perfection. Those standing nearby definitely couldn’t tell what he was thinking.

After a while, a slight smile barely appeared on Tang Fan’s serious face, “Since your Zhou-shidi also agrees, Shifu wouldn’t say anything more. But since you are the one who brought him here, you will have to take good care of him. Alright, his Shifu is also here. Bring him over there.”

“Yes, Shifu!” Ling Xiao smiled as he cupped his hands.

Looking at the back of Ling Xiao bringing that person over to Kong Wen, Tang Fan narrowed his eyes slightly. It was unclear what kind of emotions were brewing in those black eyes, on the brink of spilling over.

Seeing that her father was actually letting off You XiaoMo so easily, Tang YunQi felt even more resentment in her heart. She clenched her fists tightly, not even aware that her fingernails were sinking into her palms.
