The people on the ground looked at the man in astonishment, not knowing what was happening.

“High Priest? What’s going on?” an old man with white eyebrows asked, looking bewildered.

Fu Shinan, controlling the man, replied coldly, “We don’t need her anymore. All of you, step back.”

“This…” The crowd was puzzled. Early that morning, they had received a notification from the High Priest that they were going to use the girl on the altar, Jasmine, and the people they had captured for a ritual to pray for blessings and save their tribe. The ceremony had just begun, why was it ending so abruptly?

“I said step back!” Fu Shinan, manipulating the man, raised her voice with a colder tone.

“Yes,” the white-eyebrowed old man immediately stood up, and the others followed suit.

Meanwhile, on the opposite hillside, Fu Shinan remained motionless. Several minutes had passed, and her eyes hadn’t blinked once. If it weren’t for her visible breathing, one might think something was wrong with her.

Ji Zan reached out and waved his hand in front of her face, but Fu Shinan still didn’t react.

Sun Han was equally astonished. “Fushan, are you…”

“She should be controlling that person now,” Ji Zan interrupted. In a situation where everyone’s abilities were suppressed, how could Fu Shinan still have hers?

Back to Fu Shinan, she controlled the High Priest’s body and turned to the girl. “Are you okay?” The High Priest’s voice sounded eerie, and it sent a shiver down the girl’s spine.

The girl’s body instinctively shrank back, and her voice trembled as she replied, “Thank you, High Priest, I’m fine. ”

“Get up,” Fu Shinan said, then walked towards Ji Zan and the others.

Ji Zan immediately shielded Fu Shinan. He couldn’t be sure if this was really Fu Shinan or someone else! He was reluctant to leave, fearing it might affect Fu Shinan’s plan.

A few minutes later, the High Priest stood before Ji Zan, pointing to the man’s body and said, “I’m Fu Shinan. I’ve temporarily taken control of this man’s body. They call him the High Priest, and they all follow his orders. I’m going to use this body to try to rescue Professor Feng and the others.”

Sun Han’s brain felt like it was overheating. He looked at the bewildered Fu Shinan, who hadn’t blinked, then at the burly man before him, who claimed to be Fu Shinan. “Are you really Fu Shinan? Your ability…”

Fu Shinan quickly said, “I am, stop the chit-chat! Bring my body behind to provide backup. I suspect there are limitations to this control, so it’s best not to let my body stray too far from this man. I’m afraid something unexpected might happen. ”

“Alright,” Ji Zan immediately held Fu Shinan’s body and followed behind.

This was Fu Shinan’s first time controlling another person like this. Previously, it had been instantaneous, but now she could feel that the man’s mental strength was constantly competing with her for control. She feared that if she wasn’t careful, he might snatch control back from her. So, she had to be quick!

Fu Shinan arrived back at the forest where they had been before, with Ji Zan and the others carrying her body, hiding not far away.

The few patrolling men saw the High Priest’s arrival and greeted him respectfully, “High Priest.”

Fu Shinan replied coldly, “Yes, release these people first.”

A young man heard this and immediately became excited, “Is the ritual starting now, High Priest? I wonder if this time we’ll use water, fire, or something else for the ceremony?”

Fu Shinan frowned. Why were these people so excited to talk about the ritual? She replied icily, “Don’t ask so many questions. I have my plans.”

“Yes, High Priest!” The leader of the group quickly put away his smile and went to release the prisoners.

Professor Feng and the others, sitting on the ground with expressions of despair, didn’t get too excited when their ropes were suddenly untied. After all, everything about this place seemed strange.

“Who are you people, and what do you want? Why did you capture us?”

At that moment, Fu Shinan’s body involuntarily trembled a bit. Controlling a body for an extended period, especially when the other person had a strong will, was taking a toll on her mental strength. She feared she couldn’t hold on for much longer. She reprimanded, “Shut up and follow me. As for you, there’s no need to come along.”

The guards, upon seeing this, immediately kicked Professor Feng and said, “Old man, hurry up, you talk too much! If you keep it up, we’ll cut your tongue during the ritual!”

Professor Feng had been tied up all night, feeling disoriented. Now, after being kicked and unable to maintain his balance, he stumbled forward and collided with Fu Shinan’s back.

Fu Shinan’s mental strength was already stretched to its limits, and the collision felt like a sudden deflation. In the next moment, she received a notification in her mind that the connection had been severed!

At the same time, the High Priest finally regained control of his body and shouted, “Quick, capture them all for me!”
