"What kind of sect is this!" You You glared at the group with a hint of annoyance. "Why would I send you out? To your deaths?" Putting aside the fact that Lin Feng and the others clearly didn't know about the bait, she couldn't possibly abandon any of them just because they were disciples of the True Transformation Sect.
"But, Sect Master..." This is the best solution!
"Shut up! None of you are leaving here." You You naturally understood that they didn't want to implicate the sect, but wasn't her role as the sect leader to protect her disciples? If she pushed her disciples out as scapegoats when something happened, what kind of sect leader would she be? "This is an order! There's no room for discussion!"
Their eyes immediately drooped, and their faces showed even more anxiety and guilt.
"There must be another way, let me think..." Youyou paced back and forth, desperately trying to think of a solution. As the beast tide drew closer, the roars of the beasts echoed through the sky, completely irrational, surging madly towards this side, simply because they smelled the bait.
Wait! The taste?
"Father Yuan!" She quickly turned to Yuan Qi and said, "Could we modify our mountain-protecting formation?"
"Change?" Yuan Qi was taken aback. "Now?"
“That’s right!” You You continued, “Didn’t Feng Rong say that the ‘bait’ affects the demon beasts through scent? Could you add a layer of magic array to isolate the scent within the sect?”
"Isolate the scent..." Yuan Qi paused, pondering carefully. Defensive formations typically served to isolate attacks, block damage, or reflect oppressive force. He'd never tried sealing off the scent as well. "Perhaps... we could use spatial techniques to completely isolate the sect from the Immortal Marsh, temporarily creating a self-contained world. Maybe..."
He mentally rehearsed the plan before nodding and saying, "This method is worth a try, but I need some time to set up the formation. Also, when modifying the formation, the mountain-protecting formation must not be damaged too much, otherwise we will have to set it up again."
"How long will that take?" Youyou asked.
Yuan Qi made a rough estimate and replied, "Three days!"
"Alright, then three days it is!" She turned to the others and said, "Feng Yu, Kui Bi, you two come with me and go out to hold off those monsters for now. Nie Zheng, could you please lend a hand as well?"
"Yes, Sect Master!" Feng Yu and Wei Bi replied in unison.
“Alright!” Nie Zheng nodded. Ning Di was still in the sect, so of course he couldn’t ignore him.
"Feng Rong." You You pointed to the dense swarm of demonic beasts in the sky, "I'll leave those in the sky to you."
"I know!" Feng Rong pouted and said confidently, "Don't worry, not a single one can fly over."
Youyou glanced again at Lin Feng and the others who were still kneeling on the ground, looking worried and guilty. She stepped forward and stopped in front of Shuiyan, bending down to take the sword from her hand. "I may have to borrow your sword again."
“Sect Master…” Shuiyan raised her head in a daze.
You You then patted her head and gave everyone a reassuring smile, as was her habit, saying, "Don't worry, with me here, none of you will be in any danger."
"..."
In an instant, everyone felt a warmth in their hearts, as if they were filled with joy.
You You left only one sentence, "Qiu Zhang, keep an eye on them!" Then, he turned around and, along with Feng Yu, Wei Bi, and Nie Zheng, transformed into a stream of light and flew out of the sect.
——————
After leaving the camp, You You finally saw how many monsters there were. They were so numerous that you couldn't count them all, and each one was more ferocious and violent than the last. Perhaps because it was getting dark, the most obvious thing to see was a sea of large and small red eyes, which was quite eerie.
"They've jumped up!" Kui Bi exclaimed in surprise. The herd of beasts that had been running on the ground stopped directly below the sect. The higher-ranking beasts leaped up and pounced on the sect. The lower-ranking beasts, lacking such abilities, huddled together, frantically climbing upwards in layers.
First to arrive were the winged demonic beasts in the sky, like a vast dark cloud. Just as they were about to pounce on the floating peak, a burst of fire suddenly appeared in the sky. A crimson sea of fire ignited in the air, as if setting the air ablaze. The entire horde of demonic beasts burst into flames, and in no time, they fell from the sky one after another, like rain.
"Kui Bi, go south and guard the array's core. Feng Yu, go east. Nie Zheng, go to the mountain gate to support Ling Qi. Leave this to me!" Seeing that the demonic beasts below were also attacking, You You instructed in a deep voice, "Be careful and don't fight head-on. If there is any danger, retreat back into the array immediately!"
The three were startled, looking at the endless horde of beasts ahead. This direction had the most monsters, how could she possibly hold them off by herself?
Although Shuiyan and the others had told him that the sect leader looked like an ordinary person, but actually had a very high level of cultivation and his swordsmanship was superb, even the immortal Nie Zheng thought it would be very difficult for him to deal with so many demonic beasts by himself.
"Sect Master..." Kui Bi and Feng Yu tried to stop them.
"Maybe I should stay!" Nie Zheng also felt that this arrangement was a bit risky.
"Don't worry, I'll come help you after I've dealt with this!" Youyou thought they couldn't handle it, so she comforted them, gripped her sword tightly, and charged out.
Before the three of them could catch up, Youyou had already rushed into the middle of the beast horde.
The frenzied aura of the demonic beasts, mixed with various pungent smells, rushed directly towards her face. Youyou steadied herself. Although she was very confident in her skills, the sheer number of demonic beasts made her heart sink. She gritted her teeth, realizing that she would have to take this fight seriously this time.
He looked inward at the rows of skills that were lit up in his mind and directly chose an advanced skill that was stronger than Sword God Wutian's attack - Heaven and Earth Extinction!
I took a deep breath and silently repeated to myself several times, "I am the head of the family, I am the head of the family, I must protect my children!"
After mentally preparing himself several times, he finally suppressed the surge of humiliation that welled up inside him, raised his sword, swept it across, and shouted the skill activation command.
"My boyfriend was sacrificed to the heavens; his power is boundless!"
Feng Yu: "..."
Kui Bi: "..."
Nie Zheng: "..."
The True Transformation Sect members: "..."
A moment of silence in the pie...
Someone who was still focused on modifying the mountain-protecting formation almost made a mistake in the hand seal due to a tremor in their hand; even a figure in the air who was setting off fire stumbled and almost fell straight down.
What did they hear?
(???????????)
Before anyone could react, a massive surge of energy erupted from the foot of the mountain, unleashing countless sword shadows that transformed into sword dragons that swept across the beast tide. The ground trembled violently, and the countless sword dragons cleaved through the earth, tearing it apart piece by piece. The once densely packed horde of demonic beasts was swept away like dust, leaving nothing behind.
The trio who wanted to help: "..."
Why do I suddenly feel like I'm being a bit superfluous?
