Under normal circumstances, Zhang Chi might have a way to deal with the situation, but now that everyone was in the Gray Mist, and trust in any method that might provide answers had been lost, Zhang Chi was out of options.
It was indeed a viciously clever trap; the Gray Mist didn't necessarily aim to cause much harm, as those present were all of high cultivation.
However, once the seed of doubt was sown in their hearts, that's when trouble would start.
For instance, if the Gray Mist spread further and everyone engulfed by it saw each other again, would they trust that the people they saw were their teammates?
The Gray Mist didn't even need to attack; it could simply make them slaughter each other.
What if they killed their allies only to realize their mistake? Wouldn't their Dao Hearts collapse?
Even if their Dao Hearts were resolute, their overall strength would be greatly weakened, making it easy for them to be taken down one by one.
