The Legendary Master.
Kong Wen's status is that of a Peak Master. It's a pity his control over his emotions is 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 is plainly shown, not disguised in the least.
You XiaoMo's appearance is 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 restrains the impulse to vent his anger but he can't.
This is probably the first time someone pulls the mask from his face ever since he assumed the role as Master of Earth peak. On top of that, this person is the Seventh disciple that he personally accepted. At that time he did it based on his relationship with Ling Xiao. He never expected that his disciple would actually repay him this way!
Ling Xiao pulls You XiaoMo towards Kong Wen. He beams as he says to him, "Uncle Kong, see who this is. Junior brother You's luck is really good. The both of you, Master and disciple meet again, unexpected ba?"
Hearing his words, You XiaoMo's mouth twitches. He steals a glance at Ling Xiao. Are you purposely trying to enrage him? Wei, wei, when we go back, the one that would be out of luck is me ah!
"Master......."
You XiaoMo scratches his head, not daring to look at Kong Wen. He seems to be blushing a little.
"En, you actually have some skill. Looks like Master underestimated you."
Kong Wen gives a faintly discernible grunt and then suddenly adds some seemingly paradoxical words. It's unclear what he means.
You XiaoMo doesn't know how he should respond. But there is one thing he can be sure of. Kong Wen is angry. He can't help shooting a look at Ling Xiao ------- Dude, he's angry. What should we do?
Ling Xiao bravely takes a firm step forward, nodding his head in agreement, "What Uncle Kong says is not wrong. Junior brother You's luck has come and no one can stop it. This time, if Junior brother Zhou didn't have problems right at that time, Junior brother You would have no chance."
Although he speaks as if it really happened like that, probably only a few believe it. Because who doesn't know that Zhou Peng's relationship with him is 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 can't be for sure.
But there are some people that do know the truth. Such as Fang ChenLe and Fu ZiLin. You XiaoMo already told them that he has a way to enter the Paradise realm. Now thinking back and connecting it to this scene, the answer is as clear as can be. But the two of them won't expose Ling Xiao's words.
Kong Wen grimaces slightly, looking at You XiaoMo with a smile that is only skin deep, "Little Seven's luck is indeed too good when compared to others."
You XiaoMo opens and closes his mouth, before deciding that it would be better not to say anything. He can't seem to make out Kong Wen's line of thought.
While they are talking, the other few forces are also observing them.
Ling Xiao is after all quite the celebrity. Showing up at the same place as Luo ShuHe, there will always be a few people that will compare the both of them. But, Ling Xiao is very rarely seen being very close to anyone on the outside. Seeing this suddenly, naturally, they are very curious.
Not far away, Luo ShuHe receives the signal from his father and secretly observes Ling Xiao. Seeing him acting so intimately with a boyish beautiful youth, a look of surprise flashes across his handsome face.
The impression he has of Lin Xiao is someone that looks as if he can get along well with anyone, talking and laughing cheerfully, but is in actual fact someone that maintains a clear dividing line with everyone. They are both the same kind of people, hiding behind a mask, so he can tell.
Just like looking at Lin Xiao'a actions today, Luo ShuHe knows that he is definitely not putting on an act.
Luo ShuHe's lips curve upwards imperceptibly. He didn't expect that Lin Xiao would actually announce his weakness in front of everyone. Is it that he didn't think it through or he feels so sure that he can protect that youth?
For some unknown reason, he suddenly very much wants to witness that scene, how would that scene unfold?
Most probably it's not just Luo ShuHe who is having these thoughts. Looking unaffected on the surface, many of these people are already hashing out schemes in their hearts.
Right at this moment, the barrier around the Paradise realm starts to act up, signaling that the barrier will soon open.
Although the barrier will open up, the time is not long. Furthermore, it will restore itself automatically. So they have to first stabilize one of the breaches in the barrier. But even if they manage to stabilize that breach, the barrier will automatically restore itself in one month's time. So they have to come out within a month or they will be locked inside. Whether they can come out fifty years later is not a sure thing.

But even if they manage to stabilize that breach, the barrier will automatically restore itself in one month's time. So they have to come out within a month or they will be locked inside. Whether they can come out fifty years later is not a sure thing.
The ones who stabilize the barrier are Tang Fan and Luo ChengYuan because only Imperial level practitioners can do it. It's also because of this reason that TianXin sect and Qing Cheng sect get as many as forty to fifty slots whereas XingLuo group only has twenty or so.
But the barrier of the paradise realm is inside the Ten thousand python demon plain. They have to enter inside the Ten thousand python demon plain before they can 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 is willing to bear the wrath of two Imperial level practitioners, in this kind of circumstance, they will not attack human practitioners unprovoked.
Taking advantage of the time when Tang Fan and Luo ChengYuan are competing with each other to stabilize the barrier, You XiaoMo, in order to shake off the awkward atmosphere, starts speaking to Ling Xiao.
Not long ago, he did explain about the Ten thousand python demon plain. The Ten thousand python demon plain can be considered the number one most dangerous place in the Southern region of Long Xiao continent. But it was formed only three thousand years ago. It can be considered to be a rising power.
Although practitioners have their ideas when it comes to the Evil Heavenly Pythons, with every part of their body considered as treasures, no one dares to provoke a level nine Evil Heavenly Python overlord. This is how the enormous python cave came to be, becoming a force that almost matches that of TianXin sect and Qing Cheng sect.
But what You XiaoMo doesn't understand is 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 is the one point he couldn't understand even after thinking it through a hundred ways.
Fang ChenLe who is at one side seems to hear his bewilderment so he suddenly comes closer and says, "Little brother, 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 frequents is the West pavilion.
The agreement between the major forces and the Ten thousand python demon plain is already three thousand years old. It has 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 ChenLe laughs *ha ha* as he speaks.
You XiaoMo is rendered speechless. No need to talk about ten thousand years ago, he wasn't even 'born' a year ago ne!
"Ten thousand years ago, the relationship between practitioners and magic beasts is one of hunter and prey. Practitioners are the hunters. Magic 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 Doomsday forest, where magic beasts appear and disappear, to hunt them down wantonly. At that time, the strength of the magic beasts were not as strong as they are now. So you can imagine, the scene where corpses of magic 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 ChenLe's voice gets softer and softer.
Endless greed will be punished!
Those few practitioners, because of greed, in the end start to target the Demon moon silver fox clan.
The Demon moon silver fox can be considered Long Xiao continent's more pure and noble magic beasts. That's because it is rumored that they possess an ancient inherited bloodline. The rumor at that time is that they were the ones that would have the best chance of becoming level ten and even level eleven magic beasts.
Level eleven is equivalent to a practitioner of Divine level.
As a result, once this rumor spread, all the practitioners became frenzied. The Demon moon silver fox clan at that time did not have anyone above a level nine. Their strength was rather low but they were still extremely proud magic beasts, unwilling to dance for the practitioners, so they refused to be bonded to them.
The result of refusing is, the number of Demon moon silver foxes experienced a precipitous fall from over ten thousand to just over a hundred.
Those that were captured were not forcefully bonded nor enslaved. Instead, there were skinned. Even though the number of remaining Demon moon silver foxes were only about a hundred, the greedy practitioners continued to hunt them down. Even if they can't bond them, they can still be sold at a sky high price.
It must be said that the blood of the silver fox is of great help to those practitioners of the fire attribute. And there's also their fur. If the fur is turned into armor, it can save one's life.
The frenzied practitioners forced the remaining hundred or so Demon Moon silver foxes into the Chaos Demon Peak in the heart of the Doomsday Forest.
At that time, the Doomsday Forest was far less dangerous than it is now. Those few silver 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 appears from the white rays of light. That man's body is bathed in a layer of white light. That layer of white light seems to shine out from inside his body, making his radiance above all others, just like a god descending to Earth, dazzling to the extreme.
It is this suddenly appearing man that saved the clan of Demon Moon silver foxes. He also finished off the practitioners who were hunting down that clan of Demon Moon silver foxes. Those people 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 magic beasts.
The man's appearance allowed the magic beasts to discard their status as prey, allowing them to stand on the same level as practitioners, with some that are even higher. Because from that moment on, many strong magic beasts started to emerge, some with strengths strong enough to challenge practitioners.
From that time on, no force has dared to slaughter magic beasts as they wish because in the rumors among the beast clan, there is someone they call the Master of the magic beasts. That person is the legendary master of the magic beasts!
