Shuiyan instinctively wanted to step forward and help Lin Feng up, but Fengrong suddenly shouted sternly, "Don't go near him!"
She was stunned.
"Feng Rong..." You You was about to ask what was going on when the spirit beast pouch beside her suddenly moved. Before she could take a closer look, Fen Ze, who was sleeping, suddenly flew out of the spirit beast pouch, instantly grew larger, and pounced towards Lin Feng with bloodshot eyes.
"Little monster!" You You tried to stop it, but it was too late. Feng Rong reacted quickly, as if she had been prepared. She flashed onto the stage and blocked the little monster Fen Ze in the middle just before it pounced on Lin Feng. She pressed Fen Ze's head down and stopped it from moving.
"Quiet!" Feng Rong warned in a deep voice.
Fenze ignored it completely. Usually quick to admit defeat, it seemed to have been provoked. It pawed at Lin Feng and desperately moved closer to him. Its body swelled up, the flame-shaped mane on its neck danced wildly, and its eyes were extremely ferocious. It was no longer the same as usual, and had no rationality left. It was as if it had completely turned into a raging beast. It roared and its red eyes were fixed on Lin Feng in front of it, as if it wanted to rush up and tear him apart.
"Little monster!" Not only Youyou, but all the disciples present were stunned. They had never seen Fenze so crazy.
Feng Rong frowned, watching as Fen Ze's figure grew larger and larger, desperately trying to rush towards them. Gritting her teeth, she exerted force, pressing Fen Ze to the ground and suppressing its frenzied aura. Turning to the disciples present, she pointed at Shui Yan and the others behind her, saying, "You... and a few others, stay here. The rest of you, all of you, leave this floating peak immediately!"
The disciples were all taken aback and instinctively turned to look in You You's direction. You You's heart sank, and he immediately had a bad feeling. He said, "Do as he says, all of you leave here."
"Yes!" The disciples turned around and left the training ground as quickly as possible on their swords. In just a few minutes, the training ground, which was originally packed with people, was reduced to only You You and a few others, as well as those who had been called by Feng Rong.
"What happened?" You You stepped forward and asked urgently, glancing at Lin Feng who was still on the ground, vaguely guessing that the problem might be with him.
"It's bait!" Feng Rong immediately made the little monster fall into a deep sleep before turning to Lin Feng and saying, "Someone has planted bait on him!"
"What 'bait'?" You You was taken aback, and the others also looked blank, even Lin Feng seemed to know nothing about it.
They clearly don't know what that is.
“That’s something from ancient times that can trigger the most primal instincts of all beasts!” Feng Rong’s face darkened further. She glanced at Lin Feng and tightened her grip on her side. “Someone has planted a ‘bait’ on him. Once it matures, it will emit a scent that only beasts can smell. All the demons that smell it will lose their minds and go mad.”
Everyone was shocked. If such a thing existed in the world, wouldn't all the monsters attack him?
Lin Feng's face also turned pale.
"Is there any way to remove it?" Youyou asked anxiously.
“No! The ‘bait’ inside him has matured. Unless it dissipates on its own, it can’t be eliminated. And…” His expression grew even more grave as he turned to the few people he had left behind, “Those who have prolonged contact with the ‘bait’ will also become infected with it!”
Those present gasped in shock and turned to look at the few people Feng Rong had left behind.
"You mean this thing is contagious?!" Upon closer inspection, You You realized that the group consisted of Liu Qing, Yin Fan, and their former brothers from the beast-hunting team. They had always been close and it was normal for them to be together often. Shui Yan had just finished a magical duel with Lin Feng.
“Yes, they have been infected, and the ‘bait’ inside them is about to mature!” Feng Rong nodded.
The few people who were left behind all turned pale.
"How long will it take for the scent of this 'bait' to dissipate?" You You asked in a deep voice. "How significant will the impact be? Is it feasible to isolate them now?"
"It's too late!" Feng Rong glanced at the group and gritted her teeth. "We discovered it too late. The True Transformation Sect is located at a high altitude, and the scent of the 'bait' has probably already spread throughout the sect!"
"What..." Everyone was stunned, not yet able to react.
Suddenly, a series of beastly roars echoed from below the mountain, the rumbling sound incessant. Even in the sky, large swaths of dark clouds were gathering in their direction. When they scanned the area with their divine sense, they discovered that those weren't clouds at all, but rather a dense mass of winged demonic beasts.
Beast Tide!
Moreover, it was a massive beast tide heading straight for the True Transformation Sect.
"Xiao You!" Yuan Qi rushed over, his voice tinged with anxiety. "A huge horde of beasts is heading towards the sect. I don't know... bait!" Before he could finish speaking, he spotted the items on Lin Feng and the others. He was startled; in this world, bait still existed.
Youyou glanced down at the floating peak and saw that the dense forest of demonic beasts was getting closer and closer, with demonic beasts rushing in from almost all directions. Among them were some high-level demonic beasts of the eighth or ninth rank, but all of them had bloodshot eyes and were more frenzied and violent than the last, as if they had completely lost their minds.
"Father Yuan, activate the mountain-protecting formation immediately! Ling Qi, go and seal the mountain gate, and notify all disciples not to go out!" You You immediately ordered.
"Yes!" Ling Qi immediately turned around and flew towards the mountain gate.
Yuan Qi also raised his hand and formed a hand seal. The next moment, layers of arrays lit up the sky above the Zhenyan Sect, and golden defensive shields enveloped the entire sect.
"The effect of the 'bait' will last for a month." Feng Rong glanced at the monsters still frantically approaching below the floating peak and said in a deep voice, "The mountain-protecting formation can only hold back the beast tide for a while at most. As long as the monsters are alive, they will continue to be affected by the 'bait'."
"For safety's sake, let the lower-ranking disciples leave the sect temporarily via the teleportation array," You You said.
"Let me out!" Before she could finish speaking, Lin Feng on the ground suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "This matter started because of me, and they are after me. As long as I leave, the sect will be safe. Sect Master! Please let me leave the sect!" After saying that, he knelt down directly in the direction of You You.
Shuiyan and the others exchanged glances, then knelt down in Youyou's direction, their faces resolute, and said, "Sect Master, we are also willing to go out to protect the sect's safety. Please allow us to leave the sect!"
Lin Feng glanced back at the group, his eyes brimming with guilt, yet he had no choice but to grit his teeth and not object. Only in this way could they prevent the beast tide from attacking the sect and protect the disciples within.
"Bullshit!" Youyou blurted out in her anger.
