But the monk changed tack, his tone settling down. "However, this female benefactor was not a Sequence Transcendent."
"Those of you who got her blood on you merely look a little worse for wear. Find somewhere to wash it off, and you'll be fine."
At these words, the tense atmosphere eased somewhat.
To be honest, what everyone feared most was that the woman's blood concealed some sinister trick.
Now that the monk had stepped forward and cleared things up, they felt reassured.
"Master," someone in the crowd asked, "have you ever seen a Sequence Transcendent who can control other people?"
The monk shook his head. "No, I have never seen one either."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone stepped out of the crowd.
Dressed in a black robe, broom in hand, tall and coolly beautiful...
She looked exactly like a witch who had stepped out of a movie.
It was He Jing, the Transcendent of the Witch Sequence.
He Jing spoke, her voice cool. "I have."
Whoosh!
Every gaze swung toward her.
"A Demon Whisperer, Sequence Two of the Hypnotist Sequence."
He Jing continued unhurriedly, "When I met him, he was at precisely that Sequence Two: Demon Whisperer."
"I saw him control ordinary people with my own eyes... All he needed to do was snap his fingers in front of them, and they would obediently listen to him, doing whatever he told them to do."
"Wouldn't that be... very dangerous?" Yang Yong asked gravely.
A Sequence Transcendent who could control others at will-such a thing was simply unheard of.
Even Yang Yong could not help feeling unnerved.
He was not afraid of a head-on fight, but an invisible means of killing like this was the hardest thing to guard against.
Fortunately, He Jing immediately explained, "It's not that extreme."
