Book 07 Chapter 195: The Terrifying Mind Control
Whoosh!
Kong Xuan’s six-colored divine light lashed out. However, Houqing countered it instantly with a gust of white wind. The six-colored divine light and the white wind exploded with a loud report before Kong Xuan and Houqing collided.
Violent flames immediately erupted around the two. Kong Xuan’s face twisted into a grimace, while Houqing’s face radiated murderous intent. Their collision sent massive shock waves into the surroundings.
Gu Hai extended his hand and pulled all the guards stationed around Heaven Cang Palace into the Gu’s Immortal Firmament.
“Meow!”
Mao Tianyun lashed out with its claws. Suddenly, fire surged up all around. A colossal dragon head made of fire charged Gu Hai.
“Nether river!” Long Wanqing yelled out.
Whoosh!
The roiling waters of the nether river rushed to meet the blazing fire, and the giant fiery dragon head plunged into the nether river.
“What are you doing, Long Wanqing? We told you Long Wanyu could not be disturbed! Do you want to harm Long Wanyu?” Mao Tianyun roared in disapproval.
“I trust my husband!” Long Wanqing retorted coldly.
Upon hearing of the danger to Long Wanyu, the Unborn Man was alarmed and appeared at the entrance to Heaven Cang Palace, almost at the same time as Gu Hai.
Boom!
Without hesitation, the two blasted open the massive doors of Heaven Cang Palace. The moment the doors opened, a torrent of mist poured out, and everyone got a clear view of the interior.
All the small floating islands were shattered, presumably destroyed by Dahong and his men. However, the Immortal Origin and Long Wanyu remained above the golden dragon.
Clad in black robes, Lady Houtu was in a standoff with fifty white-robed men. Lady Houtu had summoned a river-like attack to combat the men, who were exerting all their strength to resist.
Everyone had their backs to Gu Hai and the Unborn Man.
Just as Gu Hai and the Unborn Man felt relieved to have arrived in time, they saw Lady Houtu’s eyes suddenly turn blood red.
Buzz!
The battle inside the palace came to an abrupt halt.
“Salutations, Master!” Lady Houtu suddenly greeted Dahong and the others with respect.
‘Salutations, Master’? Have you lost your mind, Houtu?” the Unborn Man exclaimed in shock and anger.
Gu Hai was familiar with Lady Houtu, having met her eight hundred thousand years in the past.
Lady Houtu saluted this white-robed man and called him her master?
“Master, Gu Hai and the others have broken in. Be careful!” Mao Tianyun shouted from outside.
“Master? Master? You dastardly things, think about who your real master is!” the Unborn Man bellowed.
Slowly, the group in white robes turned to face Gu Hai and the others. Every single one of them had red, glowing eyes that made anyone who looked shudder.
Boom!
There was a violent tremor from the Heaven Suppressing Divine Imperial Seal in Gu Hai’s forehead space; he had nearly been dazzled.
“Don’t look into their eyes!” Gu Hai warned.
But it was too late.
Both the Mosquito Daoist and Long Shenying, who were following Gu Hai, suddenly seemed dazed. In his daze, Long Shenying bowed and said, “Salutations, Master!”
“What?” Gu Hai’s expression turned grave.
However, the Mosquito Daoist quickly recovered and said, “I’m fine? I remember now; this is a shaman race’s secret technique. Your Reverence, it’s mind control! I once heard the Fly Daoist mention it when I was in the Corpse Mound World.”
“Mind control?” the Unborn Man echoed in surprise.
“Don’t look into their eyes. It’s one of the shaman race’s five main lines of inheritance. I don’t know where the Fly Daoist heard about it, but he said that during ancient times, the shaman race was few in number. However, a particular line controlled many animal spirits, causing an uprising from within. Be careful of their eyes!” warned the Mosquito Daoist anxiously.
“Mind control?” Gu Hai’s expression darkened.
“Gu Hai? You really are lucky, surviving the assault of the three heavenly demons,” Dahong mocked with a cold smile.
Meanwhile, Long Wanyu appeared to be in meditation, making Gu Hai anxious. He waved his hand.
Whoosh!
A suction came from the Gu’s Immortal Firmament, trying to pull everyone into it.
“Insolence!” Lady Houtu responded coldly, attacking with a palm strike.
Boom!
The entrance to the Gu’s Immortal Firmament was forcibly shut, and space wavered.
“Mind control? You’ve really controlled everyone!” The Unborn Man’s expression darkened.
Deeply concerned for Long Wanyu, the Unborn Man lunged forward.
“Unborn Man, do you wish to die?” Lady Houtu threw a palm strike at the Unborn Man.
Boom!
The Unborn Man’s body exploded when the palm strike landed.
“Is he dead?” Dahong wondered aloud.
The Unborn Man was dealt with, just like that?
Just as everyone thought the Unborn Man was dead, a figure appeared behind Lady Houtu and slammed a palm strike on her back.
Boom!
Lady Houtu staggered forward from the blow. Then the Unborn Man lunged toward Long Wanyu.
“Humph! Come back!” Dahong called out, swinging his hand.
Boom!
A giant net materialized in midair, blocking the Unborn Man. The Unborn Man tore the net apart, but during that brief delay, Lady Houtu had recovered and blocked his path.
“Get lost, you bastard!” Lady Houtu roared, attacking with a palm strike.
Boom!
A shock wave spread out, causing the Unborn Man to falter. Not that the Unborn Man lacked strength, but he dared not exert too much force, as the resulting spatial rift could endanger Long Wanyu.
Gu Hai also rushed forward, but upon seeing the Go Dao ritual array inside, he quickly took control of it.
Buzz!
Gu Hai controlled the ritual array to form a series of white barriers above Long Wanyu’s location.
“Unborn Man, you can use your full strength now. I’ve protected Wanyu!” Gu Hai called out.
“Excellent!” said the Unborn Man in a cold voice.
Dahong waved his hand, sending all the white-robed men flying out of the palace.
With a glacial expression, the Mosquito Daoist launched himself at the enemy.
While he was no match for Lady Houtu or Dahong, he had confidence against the white-robed men.
The moment they left the hall, they dispersed in all directions. The Mosquito Daoist instantly caught one of them, whose eyes emitted a red glow as he stared at the Mosquito Daoist.
“I possess the Mosquito-Fly Heart of Darkness. Your mind control will not affect me,” the Mosquito Daoist snarled, laughing menacingly.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
A swarm of mosquitoes trapped the man in the center.
“Argh!”
The man only managed a single scream before he was consumed, and only a layer of skin remained.
Elation crossed the Mosquito Daoist’s face as he devoured the white-robed man. “So, consuming you all can enhance my Mosquito-Fly Heart of Darkness?” His heart throbbed with intense excitement.
Whoosh!
Just as he was about to turn and continue his assault, a burst of six-colored divine light streaked towards the Mosquito Daoist.
“Kong Xuan, have you gone mad?” the Mosquito Daoist cried out in shock.
Boom!
Despite his full defense, the six-colored divine light blasted him away. To his horror, he saw Kong Xuan had suddenly stopped fighting Houqing. Under the mind control of the group of white-robed men, Kong Xuan bowed to Dahong in the center of the hall.
“Salutations, Master,” Kong Xuan stated respectfully.
After the respectful greeting, Kong Xuan and Houqing dived towards Heaven Cang Palace.
The Mosquito Daoist screamed in shock, “No good! Kong Xuan is also being controlled!”
His scalp tingled in terror. This mind control was too horrifying.
“Your Imperial Majesty, be careful. Do not look into their eyes!” the Mosquito Daoist yelled at Long Wanqing, who was fighting Mao Tianyun not far away.
By this point, many of the white-robed men had already rushed forward, all glaring at Long Wanqing, their eyes shining red.
“Meow!”
Mao Tianyun drove the power of the laws. Although Long Wanqing suppressed it, it delayed her. If Long Wanqing were mind-controlled, everything would be over.
Amid the intense battle, Long Wanqing was unaware of the situation. As she glanced around, she experienced a momentary daze.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
A swarm of mosquitoes instantly enveloped Long Wanqing, obstructing the red glow from the white-robed men’s eyes.
“Damn black mosquitoes, die!” Mao Tianyun attempted to burn the mosquitoes with a massive fire.
Long Wanqing jolted to her senses.
“That was close!” she exclaimed in shock.
“I’ll kill them. Your Imperial Majesty, be careful of Mao Tianyun!” the Mosquito Daoist shouted despite his injuries.
As he spoke, a horde of black mosquitoes swarmed in like a rolling wave.
“Meow!” Mao Tianyun roared in fury.
However, Long Wanqing unleashed an overwhelming wave of water towards Mao Tianyun. With a loud report, Mao Tianyun was forced to beat a rapid retreat while the swarm of black mosquitoes enveloped all the white-robed men remaining.
“Milord, save us! Milord!” the white-robed men screamed in terror.
Inside Heaven Cang Palace, the arrival of Kong Xuan and Houqing had considerably reduced the pressure on Dahong’s side. However, the cries from outside made Dahong’s expression sink.
“Houtu, go and save them!” Dahong ordered sullenly.
“Yes!”
Houtu rushed out of the palace hall.
With a wave of Houtu’s hand, a heavenly river seemed to pour down, heading towards the white-robed men enveloped by the black mosquitoes.
However, Long Wanqing abruptly summoned hundreds of nether rivers to block Houtu’s heavenly river.
Whoosh!
Amid the roaring deluge, screams filled the air as the black mosquitoes consumed the white-robed men until only a layer of skin remained.
After consuming the flesh and blood of the white-robed men, the Mosquito Daoist trembled all over in great discomfort.
“You bastard!” Houtu shouted angrily.
“Houtu, you hold them off. I’ll help Master!” Mao Tianyun called out before diving into the palace hall.
Whoosh!
“This is crazy! What are Mao Tianyun and Houqing doing? Have they gone mad?” Ensnaring Performance exclaimed from afar.
“Kong Xuan has betrayed us? How could this be?” Longevity murmured in a daze.
“Mind control?! Oh no! Houtu and Mao Tianyun are under his control!” Purple Subtlety also cried out in shock, his eyes wide.
“Control?” Long Wanqing’s face changed.
“Long Wanqing, it would be best for you to stay still. Once Master finishes everything, he will spare you!” Lady Houtu warned coldly.
“Mosquito Daoist, you protect Ensnaring Performance and the others!” Long Wanqing shouted.
“Yes!” The Mosquito Daoist rushed over.
Then Long Wanqing waved her hand and roared, “Infinite Nether River!”
Whoosh!
A vast expanse of black water instantaneously destroyed all the structures in the independent space, which promptly collapsed. The surging black water rushed towards Lady Houtu.
“Infinite Heavenly River!” Lady Houtu responded with a wave of her hand, undaunted.
Rumble…!
An endless stream of blue water flooded the area, clashing with the black water.
The Mosquito Daoist rushed into the distance, carrying Ensnaring Performance, Longevity, Purple Subtlety, and Mu Chenfeng.
The anxious Long Wanqing fought Houtu. The independent space around them was destroyed, and countless palaces lay in ruins. Only Heaven Cang Palace remained intact.
Inside Heaven Cang Palace, the chaotic battle came to a halt.
Gu Hai and the Unborn Man stood on one side, opposite Dahong, Houqing, Mao Tianyun, and Kong Xuan.
Seeing Kong Xuan standing behind Dahong, Gu Hai could not help a sense of dread surging in his heart. Mind control? This is too terrifying.
Back when Chiyou led four consummate Upper Heavenly Palace Realm cultivators to the Huang Heavenly Dynasty, if Dahong had controlled the four consummate Upper Heavenly Palace Realm cultivators to deal with Chiyou, Ji Dihong wouldn’t have had to make a move at all. Is this Ji Dihong’s trump card? What a terrifying trump card!
