The Legendary Master’s Wife - Chap 156

Chapter 156 : The Legendary Master

Kong Wen’s status was that of a Peak master. It was a pity his control over his emotions was not as good as Tang Fan’s.

When You XiaoMo showed up together with Ling Xiao, the few disciples by his side detected his mood. The repressed indignation and contempt was plainly shown, not disguised in the least.

You XiaoMo’s appearance was tantamount to someone throwing a bucket of dirty water in his face in public. Especially in front of his few disciples, making him feel even more loss of face. He restrained the impulse to vent his anger but he couldn’t.

This was probably the first time someone pulled the mask from his face ever since he assumed the role as Shifu of Capital Peak. On top of that, this person was the Seventh disciple that he personally accepted. At that time he did it based on his relationship with Ling Xiao and he never expected that his disciple would actually repay him this way!

Ling Xiao pulled You XiaoMo towards Kong Wen, beaming as he said to him, “Kong-shishu, see who this is. You-shidi’s luck is really good. The both of you, shifu and disciple meet again, unexpected, right?”

Hearing his words, You XiaoMo’s mouth twitched. He stole a glance at Ling Xiao. Are you purposely trying to enrage him? When we go back, the one that will be out of luck is me!

“Shifu…” You XiaoMo scratched his head, not daring to look at Kong Wen. He seemed to be blushing a little.

“You actually have some skill. It looks like Shifu underestimated you.” Kong Wen gave a faintly discernible grunt and then suddenly added some seemingly paradoxical words. It was unclear what he meant.

You XiaoMo didn’t know how he should respond, but there was one thing he could be sure of and that was that Kong Wen was angry. He couldn’t help shooting a look at Ling Xiao.

Dude, he’s angry. What should we do?

Ling Xiao bravely took a firm step forward, nodding his head in agreement, “What Kong-shishu says is not wrong. You-shidi’s luck has come and no one can stop it. This time, if Zhou-shidi didn’t have problems right at that time, You-shidi would have had no chance.”

Although he spoke as if it really happened like that, probably only a few believed it. Who didn’t know that Zhou Peng’s relationship with him was especially close. If he were to ask Zhou Peng to give his spot to You XiaoMo, Zhou Peng would most probably agree, although some things couldn’t be for sure.

But there were some people that did know the truth, such as Fang ChenYue and Fu ZiLin. You XiaoMo already told them that he had a way to enter the Paradise Realm. Now thinking back and connecting it to this scene, the answer was as clear as could be. But the two of them wouldn’t expose Ling Xiao’s words.

Kong Wen grimaced slightly, looking at You XiaoMo with a smile that was only skin deep, “Little Seven’s luck is indeed too good when compared to others.”

You XiaoMo opened and closed his mouth, before deciding that it would be better not to say anything. He couldn’t seem to make out Kong Wen’s line of thought.

While they were talking, the other forces were also observing them.

Ling Xiao was after all quite the celebrity. Showing up at the same place as Luo ShuHe, there would always be a few people that would compare the both of them. But, Ling Xiao was very rarely seen being very close to anyone on the outside and seeing this, they were suddenly, naturally, very curious.

Not far away, Luo ShuHe received the signal from his father and secretly observed Ling Xiao. Seeing him acting so intimately with a boyish beautiful youth, a look of surprise flashed across his handsome face.

The impression he had of Lin Xiao was someone that looked as if he could get along well with anyone, talking and laughing cheerfully, but was, in actual fact, someone that maintained a clear dividing line with everyone. They were both the same kind of people, hiding behind a mask, as far as he could tell.

Just like looking at Lin Xiao’s actions today, Luo ShuHe knew that he was definitely not putting on an act.

Luo ShuHe’s lips curved upwards imperceptibly. He didn’t expect that Lin Xiao would actually announce his weakness in front of everyone. was it that he didn’t think it through or he felt so sure that he could protect that youth?

For some unknown reason, he suddenly very much wanted to witness that scene, how would that scene unfold?

Most probably it was not just Luo ShuHe who was having these thoughts. Looking unaffected on the surface, many of these people were already hashing out schemes in their hearts.

Right at this moment, the barrier around the Paradise Realm started to act up, signaling that the barrier would soon open.

Although the barrier would open up, the time was not long. Furthermore, it would restore itself automatically. So they had to first stabilize one of the breaches in the barrier. But even if they managed to stabilize that breach, the barrier would automatically restore itself in one month’s time. So they had to come out within a month or they would be locked inside. Whether they could come out fifty years later was not a sure thing.

The ones who stabilized the barrier were Tang Fan and Luo ChengYuan because only Imperial level practitioners were able to do it. It was also because of this reason that the Tian Xin Sect and the Qing Cheng Sect got as many as forty to fifty slots whereas the Xing Luo Sect only had twenty or so.

But the barrier of the Paradise Realm was inside the Ten Thousand Python Demon Plain. They had to enter inside the Ten Thousand Python Demon Plain before they could do it. Luckily, years ago, several large forces secured an agreement with the overlord of the Ten Thousand Python Demon Plain. Unless the overlord of the Ten Thousand Python Demon Plain was willing to bear the wrath of two Imperial level practitioners, in this kind of circumstance, they would not attack human practitioners unprovoked.

Taking advantage of the time when Tang Fan and Luo ChengYuan were competing with each other to stabilize the barrier, You XiaoMo, in order to shake off the awkward atmosphere, started speaking to Ling Xiao.

Not long ago, he did explain about the Ten Thousand Python Demon Plain which could be considered the number one most dangerous place in the Southern region of Long Xiang Continent, but it was formed only three thousand years ago. It could be considered to be a rising power.

Although practitioners had their ideas when it came to the Evil Heavenly Pythons, with every part of their body considered as treasures, no one dared to provoke a level nine Evil Heavenly Python overlord. This was how the enormous python cave came to be, becoming a force that almost matched that of the Tian Xin Sect and the Qing Cheng Sect.

But what You XiaoMo didn’t understand was that since an alliance of several major forces would definitely be able to wipeout that level nine Evil Heavenly Python, why didn’t they strangle it in its cradle before the Ten Thousand Python Demon Plain rose to prominence? This was the one point he couldn’t understand even after thinking it through a hundred ways.

Fang ChenYue who was at one side seemed to hear his bewilderment so he suddenly came closer and says, “Xiao Shidi, these matters are recorded in the documents in the East Pavilion of the library. You didn’t read about it?”

You XiaoMo, “…”

East Pavilion? The one he frequented was the West Pavilion.

The agreement between the major forces and the Ten Thousand Python Demon Plain was already three thousand years old. It had ceased to be a secret a long time ago, placed prominently in the open on the second floor of the East Pavilion.

“This matter can actually be traced back to ten thousand years ago. At that time, you were yet to be born…” Fang ChenYue laughed as he spoke.

You XiaoMo was rendered speechless. No need to talk about ten thousand years ago, he wasn’t even ‘born’ a year ago!

“Ten thousand years ago, the relationship between practitioners and demon beasts was one of hunter and prey. Practitioners are the hunters. Demon beasts are the prey. There are some practitioners who, in order to increase their strength, or to earn coins to buy magic pills and magic herbs, will enter into the MoRi Forest, where demon beasts appear and disappear, to hunt them down wantonly. At that time, the strength of the demon beasts were not as strong as they are now. So you can imagine, the scene where corpses of demon beasts were piled up as high as mountains. That was really a kind of huge profits bring about an explosion of violence. However, the greed of practitioners knows no end…” Fang ChenYue’s voice got softer and softer.

Endless greed will be punished!

Those few practitioners, because of greed, in the end started to target the Silver Moon Demon Fox clan.

The Silver Moon Demon Fox can be considered one of the Long Xiang Continent’s more pure and noble demon beasts. That was because it was rumored that they possessed an ancient inherited bloodline. The rumor at that time was that they were the ones that would have the best chance of becoming level ten and even level eleven demon beasts.

Level eleven was equivalent to a practitioner of Divine level.

As a result, once this rumor spread, all the practitioners became frenzied. At the time, the Silver Moon Demon Fox clan did not have anyone above a level nine. Their strength was rather low but they were still extremely proud demon beasts, unwilling to dance for the practitioners, so they refused to be bonded to them.

The result of refusing was, the number of Silver Moon Demon Foxes experienced a precipitous fall from over ten thousand to just over a hundred.

Those that were captured, if they were not forcefully bonded nor enslaved and instead, then they were skinned. Even though the number of remaining Silver Moon Demon Foxes were only about a hundred, the greedy practitioners continued to hunt them down. Even if they couldn’t bond them, they could still be sold at a sky high price.

It must be said that the blood of the Demon Fox was of great help to those practitioners of the fire attribute, and there was also their fur. If the fur was turned into armor, it could save one’s life.

The frenzied practitioners forced the remaining hundred or so Silver Moon Demon Foxes into the Chaos Demon Peak in the heart of the MoRi Forest.

At that time, the MoRi Forest was far less dangerous than it was now. Those few foxes were surrounded in Chaos Demon Peak. Just when they were about to give up all hope, a miracle occurred.

A ray of bright white light suddenly came down from the heavens, falling right on the Chaos Demon Peak.

A man with unrivaled magnificent style appeared from the white rays of light. That man’s body was bathed in a layer of light which seemed to shine out from inside his body. This made his radiance above all others, just like a god descending to Earth, dazzling to the extreme.

It was this suddenly appearing man that saved the clan of Silver Moon Demon Foxes. He also finished off the practitioners who were hunting down that clan and they were no match for that man. Not even a single one of them could get in more than five moves. The Chaos Demon Peak was dyed red with blood, attracting countless demon beasts.

The man’s appearance allowed the demon beasts to discard their status as prey, allowing them to stand on the same level as practitioners, with some that were even higher. From that moment on, many strong demon beasts started to emerge, some with strengths strong enough to challenge practitioners.

From that time on, no force had dared to slaughter demon beasts as they wished because in the rumors among the beast clans, there was someone they called the Master of the Demon Beasts. That person was the Legendary Master of the Demon Beasts!
