"How, how is this possible?"
Zi Lingsha couldn't believe it. In the past, that disciple would've fought Qin Shi to the death.
"As expected!" Qin Shi's eyes turned cold. This was exactly what he had expected.
He turned around and said to the two girls in a serious tone, "I understand now. I understand everything now."
"What's going on?" the two girls asked at the same time.
Taking a deep breath, Qin Shi's expression was extremely solemn because he felt that this matter had already exceeded his imagination. It was too great. He said, "There is someone controlling this entire city."
"What?"
"The entire Serene Court is like a puppet on the stage, and all the commoners here are like puppets on a string. Every day, they have to do things that have already been predetermined, or rather, predetermined."
After a pause, Qin Shi asked Zi Lingsha, "Lingsha, do you remember the child who fell down at the entrance of the alley?"
"Yeah … now that you mention it, I do have some impression of him, but I can't remember where."
"It was the first day we came to the Serene Court."
Zi Lingsha was stunned. Then, she turned pale. "Yes, I remember now. He fell down at the entrance of the alley that day."
"Yeah."
Qin Shi nodded. "That's right. That's exactly what I was talking about. That child will fall at the same time and place every day. The Heaven Fate Realm cultivator who helped him up will also help him up at the same time every day. The disciple I just hit will also do the same. The reason why he quickened his pace was because he was set to walk out of the mansion at the same time. Someone is behind all of this."
"Heavens, there's actually such a strange thing in this world?"
Zi Lingsha was shocked. "Doesn't that mean that we've been living with the walking dead for the past few days?"
"You can understand it that way." Qin Shi didn't deny it.
The two girls couldn't help but be alarmed. Wasn't this too terrifying?
"No wonder, we didn't notice anything strange earlier. They've already been drawn." Qin Xue Xin's eyes flickered with anger.
This kind of behavior was too heartless.
"Who exactly is it, to be able to do this?" Zi Lingsha asked.
Qin Shi and Qin Xue Xin looked at each other and said at the same time, "It's Team Ma!"
"I've finally found the connection between the Phantom Court Palace and the Puppet Squad."
Qin Shi's black eyes flickered with killing intent. Previously, he had thought that Team Pi was only hiding in the You Court Palace. He had never thought that they would do something so outrageous. Sparks almost shot out from his eyes. "Team Pi, I will definitely not let you off."
"Manipulating people's hearts and treating human lives like grass!
Damn it. "
Anger burned in their hearts at the same time.
"Shi Tou, what do you plan to do?" Qin Xue Xin asked very gently.
Qin Shi narrowed his eyes as he looked at the back of the disciple who had clearly been injured by him but still wanted to follow the program. He couldn't help but feel sad. He clenched his fist and said, "Kill them."
"I feel that we should save them first. After all, human lives are at stake."
Zi Lingsha paused and said, "Although the people here seem to be living happily, they don't have any thoughts or consciousness. There's no difference between being alive and being dead."
Qin Shi agreed with this, but he couldn't help but fall into silence.
Suddenly, he said, "Come, let's follow them."
Then, he wrapped his black robe tightly and stood up to follow the disciple.
The two girls followed behind him. The disciple walked out of the You Court Palace and came to a valley. He plucked three spirit herbs from the steep cliff before returning to the family residence.
"Lingsha, restrain him." Qin Shi, who had been secretly watching, suddenly said.
"Soul Binding Chain!"
Zi Lingsha casually pinched her hand and a purple vine shot out, wrapping around the disciple in the air.
The disciple was still struggling madly after being bound. An extremely powerful force erupted from his body. The force was even stronger than his cultivation and was completely inconsistent with his own attributes. It seemed to come from the power that was controlling them. Zi Lingsha used hand seals to control the purple vine. She couldn't help but shout, "Ha, such a powerful force. Qin Shi, hurry up, I can't hold on much longer."
Qin Shi also felt that the disciple's power was strange. He quickly stood up and pointed with his finger. A golden rune appeared.
"Golden Rune Brand!"
A golden rune appeared on the tip of his finger. It was surrounded by soul fire and Qin Shi branded it on the disciple's forehead.
The disciple's body trembled. His previously violent body gradually calmed down and his eyes became exceptionally empty.
"How is it?" The two girls caught up and asked.
Qin Shi controlled the disciple. He placed one hand on the disciple's shoulder and sent his telekinesis into the disciple's body, trying to find something from the disciple's body.
However, he couldn't help but be disappointed. This disciple had flesh and blood. His blood was also flowing orderly and orderly. The crystal cores and spirit veins in his dantian were glowing and didn't show any signs of being controlled by the fiendish baleful aura.
"Eh?
This is strange. "Qin Shi was surprised.
"Brat, controlling a person doesn't only mean controlling the corporeal body." Suddenly, the evil devil said.
"Eh?" Qin Shi frowned. Then, his face turned gloomy. "You mean, soul control?"
The evil devil didn't deny it. "Yes, the fiendish baleful aura indeed has the ability to control the human body. However, this You Court is one of the three main forces of the Refinement Realm. If the Bi Group really used baleful aura to control all the commoners and cultivators here, the Refinement Realm would be able to detect it."
Qin Shi felt that it was reasonable. However, his eyes flickered with coldness.
If it was really soul control, things would be troublesome. Soul control was much harder to break than physical body control.
As a Talisman Demon Master, he understood the difficulty of soul control. Once a soul was controlled, it would greatly damage one's consciousness. Even if the soul was saved, it could turn into a cripple or an idiot.
However, he still wanted to find out the truth. He retracted his spiritual energy and used his telekinesis in an attempt to establish a connection with the disciple's sea of consciousness.
However, when his telekinesis entered the disciple's sea of consciousness, all he could see was endless darkness. There was no light at all in the disciple's sea of consciousness.
"Sure enough, there's a problem with the sea of consciousness!"
Qin Shi thought. Since he confirmed this, his next step would be much simpler. He couldn't help but curl his lips in confidence.
If it was spiritual energy, he might not dare to challenge it. After all, no matter how much his spiritual energy had improved over the years, it had always been left behind. However, it was different for his soul power. His soul power had been at the top for all these years. To him, it was a piece of cake to find the disciple's soul in the sea of consciousness. He closed his black eyes gently and his telekinesis instantly probed like a radar.
After a moment, his black eyes opened and a sharp light flashed. He directly leaped up and leaped towards the end of the darkness.
The disciple's sea of consciousness was not vast. Very soon, Qin Shi found his soul. However, what surprised Qin Shi was that the disciple's soul was curled up and had fallen into a deep sleep in the darkest corner of the sea of consciousness.
"It's the Dream Control Technique!" The demon suddenly said.
"Dream Control Technique?" Qin Shi was startled and asked in confusion, "What's the Dream Control Technique?"
"It's an extremely evil martial art from the ancient times. This kind of martial art can make a person's soul fall into a deep sleep. Then, it weaves a dream and makes the target fall into a deep sleep. Through this, it achieves the goal of hypnosis and control." The demon explained.
Qin Shi's black eyes widened, "There's actually such an evil martial art in this world?"
"Yes, but this kind of martial art has been taboo since the ancient times. I didn't think that someone would still be able to use it."
Qin Shi's eyes turned cold, "Damn the Bi Group!"
Then, Qin Shi's hand formed a seal and a golden rune emerged from his fingertip. He then aimed it at the disciple's forehead.
However, this time around, the golden inscription was not as effective as before. It was as if a stone had sunk into the ocean and there was no response. This caused Qin Shi to involuntarily frown. After which, he grabbed that disciple and shook him with all his might. He used his Mental Energy and Spiritual Strength to stimulate him. However, that disciple was still in a deep slumber.
"It's useless. He's already completely immersed in a dream. In his mind, the dream is real, while reality is fake. You won't be able to wake him up." The demon said.
Qin Shi's eyes darkened, "Then, is there no other way?"
"There is naturally a way. However, we need to find the person who cast the technique on him first." The demon said.
Hearing this, Qin Shi couldn't help but feel disappointed. Helpless, he retreated from the disciple's consciousness.
Seeing this, the two girls asked with concern, "Shi Tou, how is it?"
Qin Shi shook his head helplessly, "It's not working."
Then, he passed on the demon's words to the two girls.
Hearing this, the two girls were also a little disappointed. They comforted Qin Shi, "It's fine. Don't worry, we'll think of another way."
Qin Shi naturally understood this. However, he was unwilling to accept that the clue he had found with so much difficulty was broken once again.
"However, just who is so powerful that they can cast a technique on the millions of people in the Serene Court Palace?"
Qin Xue Xin paused for a moment, then said, "Moreover, it's not something that can be done in a day or two. At the very least, they can come into contact with everyone in the city every day. Isn't this a little too unrealistic?"
Zi Lingsha also nodded, "Even the city lord of the Serene Court Palace can't come into contact with the people here every day."
Qin Shi also didn't understand. He still couldn't understand this point.
Suddenly, the demon said, "I really don't understand. Why do you humans have to think in such a way?
This kind of dream controlling curse-type martial art can be transmitted in any form. "
"Hm?
That's right. It doesn't have to be a person who cast the technique. It can also be poisoned. "
Qin Shi was stunned. Then, he furrowed his brows, as if he had suddenly thought of something. He asked the two girls in shock, "Say, just what is it that everyone in the Serene Court Palace comes into contact with every day?"
The two girls were shocked by Qin Shi's sudden change. After pondering for a moment, they suddenly looked at Qin Shi.
