Chapter 227: Control Nerve Script
Seeing the smile on Fang Yu’s face, the man’s expression changed.
What’s going on!?
After reading the scripture, Fang Yu should have lost his ability to think and completely follow his commands!
But now, Fang Yu before him seemed unaffected, his eyes still alert, and his expression not at all blank.
“How could the scripture fail? He must not have truly seen its contents!” After his expression changed, the man picked up the thick religious text again, pointed at one of the passages, and forcefully pushed it in front of Fang Yu’s face, making him look.
Fang Yu frowned slightly and swatted the religious text away.
“What are you trying to do?” Fang Yu asked the man calmly.
“You, you dare to treat our sacred text…” The man’s face changed drastically as he hurriedly ran forward to pick up the religious text from the ground.
“Sacred text?” Fang Yu raised an eyebrow, realizing something.
He turned his head and, sure enough, saw a plump middle-aged woman standing beside Ji Rumei at the hotpot restaurant’s entrance.
The woman was also holding the same black religious text.
By now, Ji Rumei’s eyes had become vacant.
“Come, follow us back,” the woman said with a triumphant smile.
Ji Rumei’s expression remained unchanged, just staring blankly at the woman.
The woman looked up, about to walk forward, when she came face to face with a smiling face.
“Where do you want to take her?” Fang Yu asked.
The woman’s expression changed.
She had thought Fang Yu had been dealt with, but didn’t expect him to block her path.
“Can’t even handle such a small matter!” the woman cursed the man in her heart.
At this moment, that man also walked over, standing beside the woman.
“Young man, step aside,” the man said to Fang Yu with hostile eyes.
He didn’t know why the scripture had no effect on Fang Yu, but he didn’t want to worry about that now.
Their target had always been Ji Rumei.
Now that they had control over Ji Rumei, they just needed to take her back to the religious leader.
As for Fang Yu, if he insisted on blocking their way, they would have to deal with him using special methods.
Fang Yu glanced at Ji Rumei and asked, “What did you do to her?”
Just as the man was about to speak, the woman beside him directly started chanting an obscure incantation.
Along with this incantation, her body emitted a soul force that struck toward Fang Yu.
Fang Yu stood still, not moving at all.
That soul force touched Fang Yu’s body and instantly dissipated, unable to enter his body.
After finishing the incantation, the woman looked at Fang Yu mockingly, but soon froze.
Because Fang Yu before her still seemed completely unaffected.
“How is this possible? This is our Wu Shen Sect’s Soul Control Technique, it has never failed before, why is this person completely fine?” the woman thought in shock.
“I’ll ask one more time, what did you do to her?” Fang Yu said, his tone turning cold.
“None of your business! Get out of the way!” The woman stopped caring about everything else and reached out to push Fang Yu aside.
But she suddenly felt a tremendous force lift her entire body up and slam her heavily to the ground, leaving her dizzy with a bloody nose.
“You, you dare…”
Seeing his companion’s fate, the man beside her changed expression and tried to rush forward.
Fang Yu extended his right foot and swept it under the man’s feet.
“Bang!”
The man stumbled and crashed into a table, falling in a complete mess.
“Hey, what are you doing!? If you want to fight, don’t do it in our restaurant!” At this moment, the restaurant owner came out shouting.
The commotion had also attracted the attention of many people on the food street.
Fang Yu glanced at the owner and said, “No fighting, these two just fell by accident.”
“Fell?” The owner frowned and walked forward.
Fang Yu ignored the owner and looked at Ji Rumei, his eyes flickering.
Ji Rumei now had blank eyes and an expressionless face, clearly having fallen into some special state.
“It must be related to those scriptures,” Fang Yu thought.
“Miss Ji,” Fang Yu called out experimentally.
As expected, Ji Rumei had no response.
Fang Yu frowned slightly and directly pulled Ji Rumei in front of him.
Then, he extended a finger and gently touched it to Ji Rumei’s forehead.
A moment later, Fang Yu withdrew his hand, his expression grave.
Just as he had thought, a special mark had been left on Ji Rumei’s soul.
This mark was the source of Ji Rumei’s current state.
Fang Yu had a way to forcibly remove this mark, but it carried certain risks.
Because Ji Rumei was just an ordinary person who had never practiced cultivation, her soul was very fragile.
If Fang Yu forcibly removed this mark, it might damage her soul.
And soul damage was irreversible, causing huge impacts on a person.
Therefore, Fang Yu couldn’t rashly help Ji Rumei remove the mark on her soul.
“What sect are you from?” Fang Yu coldly asked the middle-aged couple lying on the ground.
At this time, both were crying out in pain, as loudly as they could, trying to attract attention from those around.
Neither answered Fang Yu’s question.
Fang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, walked forward, and picked up the black religious text that had fallen beside the man, flipping through a few pages.
The contents were all obscure scriptures that were difficult to understand, seemingly nothing special.
But Ji Rumei had just glanced at it and had a mark left on her soul.
Obviously, this scripture only worked on people with weak souls.
The middle-aged couple watched Fang Yu casually flip through their scripture while maintaining his consciousness, and were greatly shocked!
How was this possible!?
Based on their past experience, when ordinary people first saw the scripture, they would instantly lose their ability to think and enter a blank state just by seeing one of the passages. Afterward, they would need to drink the holy water given by the high priest to regain consciousness.
But Fang Yu before them could casually browse through this scripture!
How was he doing this?
Fang Yu flipped through a few pages, couldn’t make anything of it, then threw the scripture to the ground and looked down at the man, asking coldly:
“I’ll ask one final time, what is the name of your sect?”
Meeting Fang Yu’s cold gaze, the man’s heart pounded, feeling a bone-chilling coldness rise.
“I… we…”
The man couldn’t withstand the pressure and was about to speak.
“If you’ve got the guts, kill us! Come on!” At this moment, the woman lying behind shouted loudly.
Fang Yu turned to look at the woman.
The woman was now covered in blood, her hair disheveled.
She knew they couldn’t win in a direct confrontation as they were no match for Fang Yu, so she planned to create a bigger commotion to attract more people, cause chaos, and then take Ji Rumei away during the confusion.
“Kid, you encouraged our daughter to run away from home, and when she refused, you drugged her… now you’ve beaten us like this, aren’t you afraid of divine punishment? Huh?”
Seeing more and more people gathering to watch, the woman raised her voice even louder.
“Oh! So this middle-aged couple are that beautiful woman’s parents! No wonder!”
“Damn! I was wondering how such a beautiful woman would eat with such a loser, turns out she was drugged!”
“Yeah, look how stiff her expression is, obviously something’s not right…”
Many in the gathering crowd had already been paying attention to Ji Rumei, and now they pointed fingers at Fang Yu, becoming increasingly agitated.
“Everyone look! It’s this person, he not only tried to kidnap our daughter, but he also wanted to beat us, her parents, to death! In broad daylight, he dares to do such things, is there no law!?” The woman, hearing the crowd’s discussion, flashed a hint of satisfaction in her eyes.
She knew she was about to succeed, as she had already incited public anger.
After the woman’s continuous shouting, many people looked at Fang Yu with indignant eyes.
Several shirtless young men who had been drinking were already rolling up their sleeves, preparing to teach Fang Yu a lesson.
“Kid, I told you not to cause trouble in our restaurant…” The hotpot restaurant owner also looked at Fang Yu with hostility.
“Everyone please help, subdue this person and send him to pri…” The woman seized the opportunity and continued shouting loudly.
“Bang!”
Before the woman could finish speaking, her face met Fang Yu’s flying kick.
