Yet before anyone could rejoice, something stranger happened. The nearby elders had already rushed over and several moved to suppress the remaining Jiangshi. Then the patrolling Jiangshi around them suddenly moved too.
One elder had just reached out to restrain a Nascent Soul level Jiangshi when the corpse turned around and attacked him.
"What?"
The elder barely blocked.
Another Jiangshi lunged at a steward.
More began moving.
All around Heart Peak, Jiangshi changed targets.
The elders froze.
Because these were not Han Yu's Jiangshi.
These were sect Jiangshi.
Guard Jiangshi.
Patrol Jiangshi.
Han Yu had not made them and they were older Jiangshi the sect had been using. Of couse he had done maintainance on them and had long since brought them under his control.
Even the Jiangshi belonging to other elders suddenly attacked their own masters.
The entire area descended into utter chaos.
"WHAT IS HAPPENING?"
"THE JIANGSHI HAVE GONE MAD!"
"SUPPRESS THEM!"
"No, wait!"
