The atmosphere was harmonious, with not a hint of flaw, and everyone was extremely serious!
It could only be described with one word: "harmony"!
What unfolded before my eyes appeared to be very amicable, even carrying a hint of the sacred. The expressions on Bald Qiang and his companions were so peaceful, fully immersed in the prayer ritual that even our sudden intrusion was completely ignored.
In short, all this harmony struck me as bizarre!
What had happened to Bald Qiang and the others? Had they been enchanted?
At that moment, the woman in white sitting beneath the Aolien Statue finally moved. She slowly raised her hand, gloved in white and spotless, pointing directly at Bald Qiang!
There was no doubt; this woman in white was undoubtedly the main figure here—Sima Saintess!
Bald Qiang, being pointed at by Sima Saintess, slowly stood up from the ground and walked reverently towards her. The sincerity on his face made me feel uncomfortable; honestly, I had never seen Bald Qiang display such an expression before. It was so out of character that I doubted even if he were surrounded by mountains of gold, he would be this devoted.
I noticed that as Bald Qiang walked, his steps were strong and confident, showing no signs of awkwardness. He didn’t seem like someone who had been enchanted; those under such influence typically walked in a daze. Bald Qiang's state was utterly normal—his steps were even more resolute than those of some ascetic pilgrims. In just a few strides, he reached Sima Saintess and suddenly knelt down before her, saying, “Daughter of Holy Olien God, guide us Atlantis people out of our confusion, great Saintess Sima. What are your instructions?”
“My loyal follower, tell me.”
Sima Saintess finally spoke, her voice crisp yet obscure in the Death Language: “If someone has desecrated the sacred majesty of Orion and recklessly destroyed within the temple, what should be done?”
The two spoke different languages—one in Death Language and the other in Mandarin—but strangely enough, Bald Qiang understood her perfectly!
Then, as if stimulated by something profound, Bald Qiang raised his head high, fists clenched tightly. His face flushed as he shouted passionately: “Holy War!! We must have a Holy War!! Launch an unprecedented Holy War to defend the dignity of deep Orion! Every one of us Orion believers will be an indomitable spear in His hand and a giant shield against all foes, capable of crushing any enemy!”
Even Big Mouth Lee and Xiao Xiao joined in the shouting!
"It seems like a form of enchantment!"
The Ghost Granny beside me suddenly wore a serious expression and said, "It's like hypnosis! It drives people insane! Obsession can lead to madness, and illusions can make one indulge!"
"You mean..."
I frowned and asked, "Is this Sima Saintess someone who can enchant and hypnotize others? Or did she possess such abilities in life that she retained them after death? Is Bald Qiang and the others under her spell?"
The Ghost Granny nodded with a furrowed brow. "If nothing unexpected happens, that should be the case!"
I quickly asked her, "Is there any way to break this?"
"Anger!"
When she uttered those two words, the Ghost Granny hesitated for a moment, then looked at me seriously and said, "Extreme anger can disrupt her control; only by harnessing anger can we turn the tide! Do you understand the principle behind this?"
I shook my head vigorously.
She continued, "Anger is a tense and unpleasant emotion that arises when desires are thwarted or actions to achieve goals are obstructed. The spell must be focused; only anger can destroy it. Moreover, since they have been enchanted for a relatively short time, everything should be manageable!"
I felt a chill run down my spine. This kind of ability is actually quite terrifying; it can quiet people down and directly implant information into their minds for brainwashing.
Just think about it—if from the moment you were born, everyone around you or everything around you was transmitting one message: You are not human; you are a pig!
Over time, it seems that a certain habitual thought might form deep within your heart: I am not human; I am a pig!
This is what brainwashing is all about—changing someone else's fixed mindset!
The Sima Saintess possesses this ability, which can significantly shorten the time required for brainwashing. She is truly cut out to be a charlatan. Of course, she could also do well in multi-level marketing.
At this moment, the Sima Saintess appeared quite pleased with the reactions of Bald Qiang and the others. Nodding, she said, "You are indeed the most loyal followers of the Orian God. Now, let us launch a holy war to uphold the glory of the divine!"
With that, the Sima Saintess suddenly turned her head and pointed at us, commanding, "Eliminate them!"
When she turned around, I nearly froze in fear!
From the side, her flowing golden hair and white robes made her look stunningly beautiful, like an ethereal fairy. But when she turned her head, she transformed into a skeletal figure!
Indeed, her face was entirely that of a skull, with two decayed eyeballs sitting in the dark eye sockets—a truly grotesque sight.
Not only was I startled, but Ghost Granny also took a step back in shock, gasping, "You scared me to death!"
Just as Ghost Granny finished speaking, we saw Bald Qiang and his companions charging at us like crazed bulls, ready to risk their lives!
Were they trying to make us fight each other?
My heart sank as I gasped in disbelief. It seemed that the Sima Saintess had not been a good person in life either; her actions were utterly malicious. First, she had manipulated the Demon Priests to possess Saint Void Child and Bear Big, causing our own people to betray one another. Now she had stooped to an even more sinister level by sending Bald Qiang and his group to kill us!
What were we going to do?
Bald Qiang They still have a chance; killing them is not an option. Do we just have to endure the beating?
“Forget it, shoot the horse before the rider. Let’s take down the main target first!”
Ghost Granny said fiercely, “Go! Don’t worry about Bald Qiang and the others. How much fighting power can those who have been bewitched possess? Besides, they are unarmed and won’t lose their lives. Even if we take a few hits, we can directly kill that Demon!”
With that, he and Zhengyang moved in unison, their speed far surpassing mine. In the blink of an eye, they confronted Bald Qiang and his group. I had no choice but to sheath my Azure Dark Sword and follow them. I couldn’t risk bringing my sword into a fight with Bald Qiang; if something went wrong, where would I go to cry?
Just as I reached halfway, Ghost Granny was knocked down by a side kick from Xiao Xiao. Then Big Mouth Lee and Bald Qiang rushed in to pin down Ghost Granny and started hitting him.
Not only was Ghost Granny in trouble, but Zhengyang was also facing peril!
Because the situation was not as Ghost Granny had estimated; Bald Qiang and his group were not incapacitated by their bewitchment!
In fact, these individuals were not affected at all. With both Xiao Xiao and Wan—two skilled fighters—present, Zhengyang and Ghost Granny truly couldn’t withstand them. Their high-level Daoist Practice was ineffective against pure martial artists up close, especially when dealing with their own people; they were utterly restricted!
Seeing Ghost Granny being beaten so badly that he was screaming in agony, I rushed over to help him first. After kicking Bald Qiang and Big Mouth Lee away, I pulled the battered Ghost Granny up. To my surprise, as soon as I lifted him, he pushed me away and shouted at me, “Run! That thing is coming for you!”
Instinctively, I looked up at the Sima Saintess. Sure enough, she was already standing up, her two rotten eyeballs glaring at me. A chill ran down my spine; without a second thought, I turned around and ran!
