All Heavens: A Role-Playing System Starting from Tianlong

Chapter 80 Telepathic Soul Search? Hypnosis and Brainwashing!

As soon as Su Xinghe could move, he immediately asked, "Who are you? Why did you come with two elders from your sect?"

How is my master doing now?

Zhang Cheng took out the Seven Treasures Ring from his pocket and waved it in front of him.

"I will answer your questions one by one. I am now the leader of your Xiaoyao Sect, the third generation Xiaoyaozi."

"Your master is alright; I've already healed his injuries. By the way, have you seen where your senior uncle and senior master went?"

Su Xinghe paused for a moment, then shook his head and said, "This junior has been sitting here against the wall, facing the valley entrance, and has not seen my senior uncles or aunts."

Zhang Cheng scratched his head.

Going further into this valley leads to a dead end, and Su Xinghe said he hadn't seen anyone.

He suddenly felt that Wuyazi might be in trouble again.

However, that didn't seem to concern him.

He gave Su Xinghe his first instruction since taking office: "Summon all your disciples and followers here."

Su Xinghe responded and was about to set off to gather manpower—

Suddenly, a figure plummeted straight down the mountain and crashed in front of them with a loud thud.

Amidst the swirling dust, the man lay motionless on the ground.

Zhang Cheng looked down and, sure enough, it was Wu Yazi again.

The former leader of the Xiaoyao Sect was lying face up in the pit, his clothes disheveled, and his face filled with despair.

Su Xinghe was shocked and rushed over, kneeling on the ground: "Master! Master, what's wrong?!"

Zhang Cheng patted him on the shoulder: "Alright, I'll take care of things here. You just need to go and gather the disciples."

Su Xinghe hesitated, glancing at Wu Yazi on the ground, then at Zhang Cheng, before finally getting up as instructed and hurriedly leaving.

After seeing Su Xinghe off, Zhang Cheng looked down at Wu Yazi. "What's wrong with you now?"

Wu Yazi had fallen quite hard; he lay on the ground and moved his lips, but couldn't make a sound for a long time.

Zhang Cheng squatted down and placed his hand on the other person to examine them.

Well, although he's crippled again, he won't die anytime soon.

He looked up and saw that Granny Tong and Li Qiushui were slowly floating down the cliff.

After they landed, Zhang Cheng asked helplessly, "What are you two up to now?"

"My senior sister and I had already agreed that if my senior brother came up and didn't see us, and he stayed where he was and waited, we would let him go."

Li Qiushui's lips curled slightly as she glanced at the lifeless white-clad man on the ground.

"What a pity—I know my senior brother too well. Knowing his personality, he would definitely take the opportunity to slip away. Sure enough, we waited for him on the cliff beforehand and caught him red-handed."

The old woman snorted coldly from the side and said nothing.

Zhang Cheng glanced at the one on the ground, then at the two in front of him, and silently lit a candle for Wu Yazi.

As we all know, if a person possesses both extraordinary strength and extraordinary intelligence, his super intelligence will remotely control him to use his super strength.

These three from the Free and Unfettered Sect are typical examples of people who have relied on force for so long that their brains have almost been smoothed out.

Of the three, Li Qiushui is slightly better off because her fighting ability has always been at the bottom of the food chain. The other two have basically replaced their brains with muscles and their thinking with punches.

Having spent decades together, Sister Li had truly understood the other two. Now, with her allies in place of Tong Lao and their superior strength, Wu Ya Zi was completely helpless.

Zhang Cheng shook his head, too lazy to get involved in their affairs.

"I sent Su Xinghe to gather the disciples of the Deaf-Mute Sect. Why don't you two drag him to the back and fight him first? It would be quite embarrassing if his disciples and grand-disciples saw it later."

Granny Tong and Li Qiushui exchanged a glance and nodded. Each of them extended a hand and carried Wuyazi into the wooden house.

Since Wu Yazi was not in any danger and would at most suffer some physical pain, Zhang Cheng let the three of them do as they pleased.

After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Su Xinghe led the disciples of the Deaf-Mute Sect to Zhang Cheng.

With the help of Su Xinghe's sign language, Zhang Cheng announced his identity as the new leader of the Xiaoyao Sect, and from then on, the Deaf-Mute Sect would recognize its ancestor and return to the Xiaoyao Sect.

These disciples were highly loyal. Under Su Xinghe's lead, they all bowed to Zhang Cheng and quickly accepted the identity of this newly appointed sect leader.

With this foundation, Zhang Cheng had them come forward one by one, and activated [Iron Cavalry Follows] to heal their ears and tongues one by one.

The disciples were first bewildered, then shocked, and finally overjoyed. Some touched their ears, some tried to make a sound, some knelt on the ground, and some wept.

As Zhang Cheng had expected, the character progression remained unchanged. Clearly, after reaching Lv3, the leveling speed for [Soldier] and [Swordsman] was essentially the same.

However, seeing the few people in the deaf-mute group so grateful to him, he still felt a sense of accomplishment.

After healing all his disciples, he called Su Xinghe to his side and instructed him to be careful with his words and actions these next few days, and not to cause trouble, as his senior uncles and aunts were still waiting to teach him a lesson.

Su Xinghe nodded repeatedly.

Zhang Cheng then instructed him to arrange for men to go outside the Valley of the Deaf and Mute to wait for the Child Granny's men to catch up.

Su Xinghe nodded again, accepted the order, and left.

After finishing everything, Zhang Cheng went to the cabin again.

Inside the house, Wu Yazi had been beaten beyond recognition.

The two old ladies were incredibly ruthless, aiming specifically for his face. He didn't dare to fight back, fearing they would beat him even more fiercely.

Zhang Cheng went over and healed Wu Yazi, then warned the three to take it easy in their fight, saying he was going out for a while and would be back later, before leaving.

Of the four capitals of the Northern Song Dynasty, three were located in Henan. Zhang Cheng left Leigu Mountain and headed straight for Luoyang, the nearest capital.

After going solo, he moved much faster and arrived in Luoyang before the first watch of the night.

The city gates were already closed, but that wasn't a problem for Zhang Cheng. He climbed the city wall and slipped inside silently.

After entering the city, he climbed to a high place and easily found the most magnificent building in the city—the Xijing Garrison Office.

He used his light-footed skills to leap across the rooftops and quickly arrived at the entrance of the government office.

Zhang Cheng bypassed the guards, sneaked in, and found himself in front of a house with lights on.

Peeking through the crack in the window, one could see a middle-aged man in official robes sitting at a desk reviewing case files.

Zhang Cheng quietly pushed open the door and slipped inside.

Unexpectedly, the official on duty seemed to possess some martial arts skills. As soon as Zhang Cheng stood behind him, the official paused, clearly sensing something.

"Who is it?"

Just as the official was about to turn around, Zhang Cheng spoke up in a high-pitched voice.

There's no one there. You're too tired; you're hallucinating.

The man's turning motion froze halfway through.

"—There's nobody here?" he muttered to himself. "Am I—too tired?"

"Yes," Zhang Cheng's voice continued, "There's nothing there. You seem a little tired."

The official's gaze gradually unfocused, and his tense body relaxed.

"Yes—I'm a little tired," he murmured slowly, "but I can't rest now—it's my shift today—"

He shook his head, sat back down at the table, and continued reading the case file. He showed no reaction to Zhang Cheng being in the room.

Zhang Cheng just used the "Soul Searching Technique" that Li Qiushui had used before.

However, unlike the other party who used internal force to expand the range of influence, he combined this skill with the method of transmitting sound secretly, so that the sound was concentrated and poured into the official's ears alone.

Therefore, this move is extremely powerful; even if the person is skilled, they will be instantly bewitched.
