There were no outsiders, no other evil spirits, or Divine Consciousness Entities.
Only about a dozen of his Zhang Family Elders were lined up, standing like wooden stakes.
The Zhang Family Ancestor with a frown said,
"What is the meaning of this?"
The group of Elders had obscure auras and dull eyes, and remained silent.
The Zhang Family Ancestor sensed something was wrong.
Just as he was about to step forward for a closer look, a sudden chill wind arose.
The Zhang Family Chief Elder took the lead to strike, claws swelling with Corpse Poison, attacking the back of the Zhang Family Ancestor.
"An ambush?"
The face of the Zhang Family Ancestor changed drastically as he grabbed the wrist of the Chief Elder, blocking his assault.
At the same time, the other Elders also made their moves, aiming for vital spots: the heart, the eyes, the crown of the head, the groin, the joints...
Each move was lethal, intending to kill their old ancestor!
The Zhang Family Ancestor was furious.
He could never have imagined that in such a short period of time, his disciples and grand-disciples not only vanished but also betrayed him, and were even plotting patricide, attempting to take the life of their old ancestor!
"A bunch of scourges!"
The Zhang Family Ancestor defended himself, parrying a few moves, but was overwhelmed by the numbers. His Taoist robe was torn, his arms were cut, and several strands of his white beard were pulled out...
The Zhang Family Ancestor's gaze grew stern.
During the combat, he noticed something unusual about these Elders.
"Were they controlled?"
The Zhang Family Ancestor's thoughts raced.
Controlled by what?
A spell?
An Illusion Technique?
Were they bewitched or brainwashed?

The Zhang Family Ancestor's mind stirred, and he immediately chanted loudly, subsequently barking:
"The Ancestral Master is here, why haven't you converted yet?"
"Convert to my school, and seek eternal life..."
"Convert to my school..."
"Seek eternal life..."
These words, both loud and distant, resonated in the ears and hearts of those present, possessing the power to enchant and compel conversion.
Mo Hua's Divine Sense also wavered momentarily.
But after a brief moment, his mind cleared like a stream, and he was instantly awake.
On the other hand, the Iron Corpses revealed looks of longing and desire.
But they were controlled by the Spiritual Pivot Formation, their actions governed by Spiritual Threads, mere puppets, so what they thought didn't really matter.
