"Long time no see!"
Hayashikawa's gaze swept across all the cultivators present. Many of them were the ones who had attacked him at the Qing Xian Restaurant in Qilin City. With the memory of cultivators, Hayashikawa could still remember these people clearly even though it had only been a year.
The hall, which had been extremely noisy before, suddenly fell silent. The cultivators who had been shouting the loudest all shut their mouths as they looked at Hayashikawa with shock in their eyes.
If they remembered correctly, Azure Dragon's cultivation base was only at the early Deity Transformation Stage when he fought with them a year ago. It had only been a year, but he had already crossed two stages in succession and reached the late Deity Transformation Stage. This kind of improvement was beyond everyone's expectations, and they all had a bad premonition.
In addition, many people also noticed Lin Chuan's eyes. His eyes, called Sharingan, had left a very deep impression on everyone. However, a year ago, there were only seven magatama spinning in his eyes. This time, when they saw him again, there were already nine magatama spinning in his eyes. Just from the number alone, the power of his eyes had taken a qualitative leap, which made the cultivators who noticed this even more uneasy.
The sect masters of the Celestial Sect and Nine Star Peak were without a doubt the people who understood Blue Dragon the most. This was because the two of them had basically been dealing with the Blue Dragon during the battle back then. As a result, they paid close attention to the changes in Blue Dragon. Apart from these details, they also noticed the strange jade pendant floating beside Hayashikawa.
This was something they had never seen before, but this time, Blue Dragon let it float beside him without hiding it. The meaning behind this was very obvious. More importantly, they all felt that this item was somewhat familiar, as if they had seen it somewhere before.
"From today onwards, I am the hall master of the Floating Spirit Hall, which means I am the ruler of the Floating Spirit Region. I summoned you all here to announce this fact, not to ask for your opinions!" Hayashikawa said indifferently. The Nine Tomoe Sharingan slowly swept across everyone's faces. That kind of oppressive feeling of being above all living beings was revealed very clearly at this time, and there was no room for doubt.
"You're just an alien cultivator. What right do you have to become the ruler of our Floating Spirit Region? I advise you to scram back to your Southern Ming Continent as soon as possible. Otherwise, you'll become the enemy of our entire Floating Spirit Region. We can drown you with just a mouthful of saliva!" A late stage Deity Transformation cultivator stood in the crowd and said.
"Is that so?" Hayashikawa narrowed his eyes and looked at the cultivator who spoke.
Boom!
In the next moment, Hayashikawa's body suddenly dispersed, transforming into countless crows that swept across the hall. In an instant, he had passed by everyone and arrived beside the cultivator who had spoken. His body did not appear completely. Instead, it was just a floating upper body formed by the crows.
"You're the first person to stand out against me. You're also the stupidest one!" Hayashikawa said softly. His cold, blood-red eyes stared at the cultivator in front of him. A terrified expression immediately appeared on the cultivator's face. It was as if someone had grabbed him by the throat. He couldn't make a sound, couldn't breathe, and couldn't even circulate his spiritual power.
His eyes constantly bulged and were bloodshot. He waved his hands violently, but it was to no avail. There was nothing restraining him at all.
Large flocks of crows continued to fly above the main hall. Hayashikawa's upper body floated in front of the cultivator. He didn't move at all and just stared at the cultivator who had gone mad.
Whoosh!
Finally, someone made a move. A golden light flashed and went straight for Hayashikawa's condensed body. However, at this moment, a crow suddenly swooped down from the sky and blocked the golden light.
Then, a large number of crows flew towards the cultivator who had made a move and instantly surrounded his body. Many crows directly rushed into the cultivator's body. Not long after, under everyone's horrified expression, the cultivator slowly fell to the ground and stopped breathing.
"This … That cultivator was at the Peak of the Soul Formation Stage … He was actually killed in an instant …"
"What are these crows? How could they block the attack of a cultivator at the Peak of the Soul Formation Stage? Has Blue Dragon's strength reached such a terrifying level?"
…
At this moment, everyone looked at the scene in front of them in horror. A large number of crows flew past and everyone felt a terrifying pressure. They felt that the spiritual power in their bodies had become sluggish. It was as if something was pressing down on them, making it difficult for them to even breathe.
"No … No … This can't be real …" The Nine Star Peak Sect Master's expression suddenly changed as he realized something.
"Did you feel it too? But … when did this happen … We … "The previous Sect Master of the Pure Sun Sect also seemed to have realized something, but the shocked expression on his face did not change at all. Instead, it became even stranger.
"It's an illusion, it must be an illusion …" Large amounts of sweat appeared on the forehead of the Celestial Sect Master. He did not understand how the thousands of cultivators present, more than a thousand of which were above the Soul Formation Stage, could all fall into such a terrifying spiritual attack in an instant. Even they, who were at the Peak of the Soul Formation Stage, had fallen into it without noticing. This was really too unbelievable.
However, facts spoke louder than words. What was happening at this moment could only be explained by this reason.
"Quickly find a way to break the illusion!" The three people who came to their senses first began to cast spells, trying to break free from the control of Hayashikawa's illusion.
Among them, the Nine Star Peak Sect Master kept forming seals with his hands, causing the spiritual power in his body to suddenly flow faster and rush directly to his brain.
This was a cultivation method for meditation. It had the effect of calming one's heart. At that moment, as the Nine Stars Peak's Sect Master executed it without regard for anything else, the scene before him immediately blurred. Soon, everything around him became clear again.
He looked around and saw that Hayashikawa was still floating in his previous position without moving at all. Many cultivators in the entire hall, except for the Celestial Sect Master and the Pure Sun Sect Master who showed signs of struggle, all stood in place strangely without moving. However, the expressions on their faces were extremely frightened and constantly changing. This silent and strange scene made people feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.
"Your reaction is quite fast!" Hayashikawa's voice came from the sky, indifferent and full of strange power.
The Nine Star Peak Sect Master looked in the direction of the voice. When he saw the strange pattern in Hayashikawa's eyes, he immediately felt that something was wrong. However, when he wanted to take action, it was already too late. He fell into the illusion again, and this time, no matter how he used the meditation technique, it was useless.
Illusions were not scary, but what was scary was when you knew you were in an illusion but couldn't do anything about it.
