Chapter 1323 Mental Energy Attack
Zion was livid with rage after hearing that. “You Blood Corpse Cult members sure are useless! Those seven zombie puppets were complete idiots, and you two can’t even do anything useful—”
“What did you just say?” The looks on the man and woman’s faces grew colder as their bodies exuded immense mental energy.
The two of them were from the Blood Corpse Cult, and the Seven Deadly Stars was their leader. As their cult focused on the cultivation of corpses, they needed a huge amount of mental energy to control the zombie puppets.
“In that case, we shall take our leave now, President Zeigler. I will pass your message to our leader word for word,” the man said as he turned around and started walking away.
“Wait! Okay, all you two have to do is find out if Jared is possessed by an evil spirit! Leave everything else to me!” Zion shouted anxiously.
Despite having the token, Zion knew that none of the cult members were obeying him willingly.
The man and woman left shortly after receiving his order.
A vicious glint appeared in Zion’s eyes as he watched them disappear into the distance.
Meanwhile, Jared was walking through the streets of Jadeborough.
Although he had failed to rescue Josephine, he didn’t leave because he knew the Warriors Alliance was still hunting him down.
As such, he decided to boldly show himself in public to lure them toward him.
While Jared’s current strength was still insufficient to take on the entire Warriors Alliance, he could protect himself just fine if he ran into their fighters.
With the Necro Ring in his possession, he could easily make a quick escape even if he was losing the fight.
With those options available to him, Jared figured he would kill those that he successfully lured out of hiding and flee if he couldn’t defeat them.
Regardless, he refused to give the Warriors Alliance any breathing room after learning what they had done to Josephine.
Jared was casually strolling down the sidewalk when he detected two hostile auras.
They weren’t strong and were likely around the level of Martial Arts Grandmaster at best.
Would the Warriors Alliance send such weak fighters after me? I could easily kill a few of them with a single slap if they’re in the early stages of Martial Arts Grandmaster!
Although a little confused, Jared maintained a casual expression as he made his way to a more deserted area.
As the auras closed in on him, Jared tried to pinpoint their exact location using spiritual sense, but it was blocked the moment he used it.
Jared was so surprised that he paused in his steps immediately and glanced about.
The next thing he knew, he felt incredibly woozy, like a person who had had too much to drink.
When he tried to shake it off, his body was completely immobilized by an invisible force.
Jared frowned as he struggled with all of his might, but he couldn’t break free no matter what.
Right as he was about to give up, Jared’s mind cleared all of a sudden, and he realized what was actually happening.
The invisible force that immobilized me earlier was all in my head. It was just a signal that my body received from my brain. There was no external force binding me at all. This means someone is using a high amount of mental energy to hack into my brain and control my thoughts. Thankfully, I have a fairly high amount of mental energy myself. On top of that, the calming incantation helped free my mind from its control fairly quickly.
In order to bait his attackers into showing themselves, Jared decided to keep up the act and continued struggling as though he was still trapped.
Moments later, he saw a man and woman walk up to him. As they were still afraid of his power, they stopped about a dozen meters away from him.
Jared knew at first glance that they were the ones tailing him earlier. Judging by their auras, he could confirm that they were only as powerful as Martial Arts Grandmasters.
