Hearing what Li Xiuzhu said, Qian Wangsun instinctively said, "Twisting the minds of mortals? Zhou Bai wouldn't do sothing like that, right? The ability imbued in this clothing is just ant to help us distinguish if soone has activated demon blood, hasn't eaten people, right?"
Li Xiuzhu nodded: "This thing can indeed be used to distinguish cannibalism. I'll have soone use it to eliminate cannibal demons within the sect."
"But even so, so facts can't be changed." Li Xiuzhu calmly analyzed, "First of all, Zhou Bai possesses the ability to twist minds, this you know, right?"
Qian Wangsun nodded his head, even though Zhou Bai had never spoken to them about such topics, he had fought alongside Zhou Bai many tis. Not only did the opponents like the heavenly court and Heavenly Demons try to analyze Zhou Bai's powers, but the Sky Flipping Sect had also summarized Zhou Bai's power display.
Various mind-twisting, manipulation, and even creating twisted phenona—these abilities have beco a signature of Zhou Bai.
But Qian Wangsun still said, "The Zhou Bai I know, although he has this ability, he wouldn't control his own people, much less exploit mortals. He mostly uses it during battles."
"I don't see it that way," Li Xiuzhu replied. "To my knowledge, even when Zhou Bai was at Dao School, he used his twisting ability to accumulate wealth, right? Many students and teachers were influenced by his ability, ultimately giving him their elixirs, magic treasures, and points."
Qian Wangsun paused slightly at these words, rembering how Zhou Bai indeed borrowed points from many people while at Dao School.
At that ti, he was just a naive kid, thinking Zhou Bai was just highly charismatic, handso, and eloquent, which was why he was so popular, even wanting to learn Zhou Bai's ways.
But looking back now… it probably was so sort of mind-twisting power.
Li Xiuzhu continued: "And back in West Mountain City, he once swindled a large number of celestial seed, severely tricking the Plague Departnt's Yan Shan and his father Yan Zhenjun. It resulted in a twisted event, which should have involved his mind-twisting power."
Qian Wangsun felt a sinking in his heart; how could he not know about this incident? He even participated, deceiving alongside Zhou Bai.
Li Xiuzhu looked at Qian Wangsun: "Have you ever considered that Zhou Bai might have long been using this power for personal gain, and even your relationship could be..."
Qian Wangsun imdiately shook his head in denial: "We are comrades in life-and-death situations. He may twist minds, but it's only ever directed against enemies at the ti."
Seeing Qian Wangsun's change of expression, Li Xiuzhu didn't say more, just lightly sighed: "People change. All celestials... they weren't born as celestials, they too have gone through step-by-step cultivation to transcend the ordinary and join the ranks of immortals."
"At first, they were ordinary mortals, but as long as their power continues to grow and their lifespan continues to extend, they will eventually detach from mortals. To maintain their status and power, their interests will one day clash with those of mortals."
Li Xiuzhu sighed again: "Power and ti will corrode the human heart. This is why I hope to overthrow the heavenly court and have mortals rule themselves."
Speaking, he looked at his clenched fist, seemingly countless images flashed across his eyes, the mories and historical experiences seen by generations of Ying Long.
"The more I see the past, the more I understand human history... I realize the heavenly court must be overthrown."
"Because humanity does not need gods who stand above all."
Li Xiuzhu looked at the silent Qian Wangsun, a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes: "If Zhou Bai wants to beco a god, then I will do whatever it takes to kill him."
Qian Wangsun still insisted: "I believe Zhou Bai wouldn't do such a thing."
"But according to my information network, this ti he not only twisted the minds of cult mbers to drive them away. Zhou Bai also gathered a large number of mortals in East Hua City, pulling them into a teaching sect called the Beginning Cult."
Li Xiuzhu said seriously: "Several intelligence personnel have already infiltrated this cult, were ntally twisted, leaving the Sky Flipping Sect, completely joining the Beginning Cult."
"All signs indicate Zhou Bai is already starting large-scale ntal control of mortals, sothing even celestials wouldn't cross the line to do, this is behavior of an Evil God."
Qian Wangsun was shocked: "This sort of thing? Could there be so misunderstanding?"
"If you don't believe it, then go see for yourself," Li Xiuzhu contemplated. "I can accompany you to East Hua City to see with your own eyes."
...
East Hua City, the originally abandoned factory had been transford by Xuannv into a grand hall.
In the grand hall at this mont, hundreds of people stood densely together, looking ahead with eyes full of admiration and reverence.
And before them, stood a massive black statue, the form of Zhou Bai covered in black sludge. In their hearts, this was the Yuanshi Tianzun who granted them the Longevity Dao Fruit and saved them from distortion and madness.
Xuannv stood before the statue, a pair of blood-colored wings suddenly spread behind her, her blood-red hair began to dance, her eyes tightly closed, she began to whisper.
"Distortion is destroying my sanity."
Then the bloody halo behind her flashed blue, streams of the Power of Deformation radiated toward the crowd.
"Deformation is rolling through my insides."
As Xuannv's whispers echoed in the grand altar, as streams of Power of Deformation radiated to the sect mbers, intense agitation and madness began to swell from their hearts.
Feeling this change, they began to murmur devoutly, "Lie down... lie down..."
The whispers of hundreds of people floated in the air, accompanied by one person after another lying down, peaceful, serene expressions on their faces, and an eerie atmosphere spread.
"The ground clings to my back forever."
"My limbs are nimble yet twisted."
And when one by one the sect mbers lying on the ground began to crawl around the statue, this eerie atmosphere only grew stronger.
The next mont, dense black liquid began to seep from the surrounding walls and ceilings, constantly dripping and forming patches of black sludge on the site.
Yet seeing the appearance of this black sludge, the crawling people on the scene showed fanatical expressions, their whispering turning faster, and louder.
"I run lying down, I dance lying down."
The black statue seed to co alive, countless black sludge ca flowing from the statue, forming a black humanoid figure, then gazing at everyone present.
Imdiately, from the crowd, more than two-thirds felt sothing filthy, evil, and insidious being extracted from within them, that was contamination, or could be called the Power of Deformation.
"Yuanshi Tianzun watches over ..."
