Chapter 1146 - 1144: Scaring Them Away
In the morning, Ding Wan’er and Leng Mei went to work, while Lin Feng began preparing to resolve the issues affecting his students. Although he had the Elixirs ready, that alone was not enough to completely resolve the issue; he still needed to figure out other ways.
Unexpectedly, around ten o’clock in the morning, Liao Chen suddenly rushed over, reporting that a student named Li Chao had erupted. This situation gave Lin Feng a headache; he had not expected another problem to arise so quickly, signaling that the current situation was indeed dire. With no other options, Lin Feng could only follow Liao Chen to see what was happening and try to save Li Chao’s life in the process.
Upon arriving at the location, Lin Feng’s brow furrowed immediately. At that moment, Li Chao’s whole body was flushed red, as if he had been steamed in an oven, and even his eyes had turned blood-red, looking extremely terrifying!
What’s more exaggerated was that Li Chao had already lost his reason, attacking his classmates frantically as if he wanted to capture and devour them alive. He was also constantly emitting beast-like howls, and even as he howled, fresh blood seeped from his skin. In short, Li Chao was no longer the person he used to be; he had completely turned into a monster!
Seeing such a scene, Lin Feng was taken aback; he had not expected Li Chao’s condition to be much worse than Song Jia’s! If they were any later, even he wouldn’t have been able to save Li Chao! Without time to think too much, Lin Feng waved his hand through the air, and immediately Li Chao fell to the ground as if knocked unconscious.
"Teacher Lin, save Li Chao, please!"
"Teacher Lin, hurry and save him, it’s too terrifying!"
"Teacher Lin, will we also become like this..."
...
The students present were all panicking. Seeing Li Chao’s violent outburst, they were extremely frightened, fearful that they might end up the same. Upon seeing Lin Feng, their first thought was that he must save Li Chao...
"Liao Chen, circulate the spell!" At this moment, Lin Feng didn’t have time to say much and immediately instructed Liao Chen to circulate the spell. Then, he waved his hand, sending several streaks of silver light that struck several acupuncture points on Liao Chen’s body.
Having experienced the process of saving Song Jia before, Liao Chen knew the urgency of the situation and without hesitation, immediately circulated the Dao Extinguishing Creation Art to assist Lin Feng in saving him!
However, this time Lin Feng did not use the Seven-Colored Gang Qi, but rather, he used golden Gang Qi. Li Chao’s body was nearly collapsing, necessitating both treatment and bodily nourishment simultaneously. For a moment, the golden light shimmered, enveloping the three in a golden cocoon, making it nearly impossible for those outside to see the situation within.
At that moment, the students outside could only wait anxiously, hoping that Lin Feng would successfully save the life at stake, but the pending delay was torturous for them, fearing they might become the next Li Chao...
Two hours later, the golden light suddenly vanished, and the three of them emerged from it. Song Jia and the others immediately noticed Li Chao lying on the ground; his face had lost its sickly red color and returned to normal, but Li Chao still hadn’t regained consciousness.
"Teacher Lin, how is Li Chao..."
Song Jia, who knew all too well the agony of a backlash from the Cultivation Technique, couldn’t help but ask, wanting to know his condition. The other students didn’t speak, but their eyes, like Song Jia’s, sought answers from Lin Feng about Li Chao’s condition.
"His condition was much more severe than yours, but he’s out of danger now, only needing some time to recuperate," Lin Feng said indifferently to Song Jia. Although Li Chao’s life had been saved, the frenzied state he’d been in had drained him, and what he needed now was to rest and recuperate.
Hearing Lin Feng’s words, the students finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as his life was not at risk, that was what mattered most; they thought how fortunate they were to have Lin Feng, otherwise, given Li Chao’s recent state, probably even an Immortal couldn’t have saved him!
Just as they were about to express their gratitude to Lin Feng, Lin Feng spoke up first.
"Don’t thank me yet. For the next few days, stay put, don’t do anything, and if anything arises, come find me," Lin Feng told them calmly, then disappeared in a turn. He had already sensed that such incidents would likely continue in the coming days, and he truly needed to think of a solution; otherwise, he would be stuck here, unable to go anywhere else.
Liao Chen and the others weren’t surprised to see Lin Feng suddenly vanish; they already knew that Lin Feng was an indescribably formidable master, and their lives were literally in his hands. If they disobeyed and Lin Feng chose not to save them, they were doomed!
"Everyone, let’s lift Li Chao together and take him back," Liao Chen took the initiative to stand up and say at this moment; people around him acted together, carrying Li Chao back into the house. Then everyone sat in silence inside the house, deathly quiet and incredibly oppressive, deep down everyone was clear, sooner or later they would end up like Li Chao...
At this moment, Liao Chen’s complexion had turned extremely poor. He had a good relationship with Li Chao, and it was distressing to see him end up like this. It could be said that both Song Jia and Li Chao had ended up this way because of him; guilt flooded his heart, and what worried him more was whether any other classmates might end up like Li Chao.
Over the next two days, events turned out just as Liao Chen had predicted; indeed, several more people burst out, but with timely notifications to Lin Feng and his help to control the situations, their lives were saved. Anxiety shrouded everyone, every face woefully grim, with no one knowing who would burst out next...
During those two days, aside from treating the students who burst out, Lin Feng pondered how to thoroughly resolve the problems plaguing the students. Time flew quickly, and on the third day, while he was lost in thought in his room, suddenly there came a knocking sound.
"Thump thump thump, Young Master, I’m back." Zhu Tao’s voice sounded from outside.
Hearing Zhu Tao’s voice, Lin Feng smiled faintly and immediately said: "Come in, the door isn’t shut."
Lin Feng was quite surprised that Zhu Tao could return this quickly, using just three days. This showed how hurried Zhu Tao must have been on his journey, which would have been impossible with conventional means without the aircraft of the Secular World, along with Zhu Tao’s own incredible speed.
After hearing Lin Feng’s invitation, Zhu Tao immediately pushed the door open and walked in, placing two large boxes before Lin Feng. These contained the medicinal ingredients he had brought back from the Hidden World, the task assigned to him by Lin Feng was completed.
Seeing the boxes Zhu Tao put down, Lin Feng nodded, knowing they definitely contained the medicinal ingredients, but didn’t pay much attention to them. He glanced at Zhu Tao and casually asked, "How was your trip to the Hidden World this time?"
"Young Master, to be honest, although I’d heard about some things in the Hidden World from the Old Monster, I was still very surprised by my visit. I never imagined there would be such a place specifically for cultivation, completely different from our Secular World; it felt like stepping into another world."
"But I still think our current place is better. With the formations the Young Master has set up, this area is no less than the Hidden World now. Moreover, after being away for a few days, I’ve come back to find that the Spiritual Energy is even more abundant than before. In some respects, this area has even surpassed the Hidden World."
After hearing Lin Feng ask, Zhu Tao thought briefly and expressed his most genuine thoughts. The Hidden World had indeed amazed him, as it was so unexpected, but he still preferred their current location. Not being there for a few days, he even felt the Spiritual Energy had become richer, confirming this place as the most ideal for cultivation.
After hearing Zhu Tao’s response, Lin Feng laughed, then smilingly said to Zhu Tao, "That’s why I never planned to let you go to the Hidden World to enhance your abilities; it’s already enough here."
"Young Master, whatever arrangements you make are fine," Zhu Tao replied with a smile, deeply feeling that following Lin Feng was the best decision he ever made.
"How have things been around here the last couple of days? Have you seen the Old Monster and the others?" Lin Feng then remembered the broader situation and casually asked, as he had been too preoccupied with the students to pay attention to it. Now Zhu Tao was back, Lin Feng wanted to ask about the situation.
"Returning to the Young Master, I have seen the Old Monster and the others. The children are patrolling every day, and with several cleanups by the Old Monster and his group, there aren’t any significantly powerful beings left. However, could such actions cause suspicion among the Loose Cultivators?" When Lin Feng asked about these matters, Zhu Tao promptly responded, as he had happened to encounter the Old Monster and asked about the situation. Since Lin Feng wanted to know, he told him what he knew.
"No worries, you don’t have to concern yourselves with this matter; I’ll handle it. With our current formations as cover, ordinary people won’t notice anything. If we encounter someone that even the Old Monster can’t handle, then I’ll step in. As for suspicions, let them be; as long as they dare to come, driving them away is enough." Knowing the current state of affairs, Lin Feng replied casually to Zhu Tao. Under normal circumstances, the power of the Old Monster should be sufficient; encountering an extremely powerful expert would not be a problem either, as Lin Feng himself could intervene.
"By the way, how is my senior apprentice brother doing now?" After discussing these events, Lin Feng brought up his Senior Apprentice Brother Fang Gu, curious about how he was doing now.
"Senior Fang has been very busy lately, he mentioned he’s preparing to refine a special weapon. However, he said he’s currently unavailable to visit you, but he’ll definitely come to visit you in Tianhai when he gets the chance; he’s also curious to see what the Secular World looks like now. This is something Senior Fang sent for you."
Bringing up Fang Gu, Zhu Tao recounted the specific details with a smile. He had also seen Fang Gu in a hurried meeting, then had his subordinates find the medicinal ingredients. Knowing the urgency here, he immediately returned non-stop, so he wasn’t very familiar with the current situation of Fang Gu but conveyed his message. He then handed a small bundle to Lin Feng.
After hearing Zhu Tao’s words, Lin Feng smiled; having no solution for his masterly obsessed with Artifact Refining Senior Apprentice Brother, he casually opened the bundle. Inside, there weren’t many items, just three things—a dagger that looked extremely sharp, an inner vest that seemed to be a protective garment, and a box whose purpose was unclear. Lin Feng glanced at them and then threw the bundle aside. Although his Senior was well-intentioned, Lin Feng no longer needed these items.
But just as Lin Feng was about to give Zhu Tao some other instructions, Liao Chen, with a pale face, suddenly walked in through the open door without greeting Lin Feng. He directly knelt down beside Lin Feng.
