Master Shi, would you stand by me? After all, I’m just a lone person, and others might not listen to me. But it’s different with you, Master Shi; you are a renowned Formation Master with a status comparable to a Jade Immortal.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Hao thought for a moment, then nodded, “Alright!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd gathered once more to discuss what to do next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all voiced their opinions because under Zhong Zecheng’s leadership, people kept dying, his authority diminished, and no one was willing to listen to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bian Ruili, Ding Xinghuo, Chang Feiyi, you five—” Zuo Huanheng pointed one by one, “Are you the murderers?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ha ha, what are you joking about?” The five shook their heads, “You want to accuse us without evidence?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t think I didn’t see it; you five often hide together to secretly eat raw flesh!” Zuo Huanheng dropped a bombshell, “Dare to show everyone the meat and let everyone see where exactly it came from!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With these words, the faces of Bian Ruili and the other four changed dramatically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a covert affair was actually witnessed by someone?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the change in their expressions, others also showed apprehension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could Zuo Huanheng be telling the truth?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bian Ruili, hand over your Spatial Spirit Tools for inspection!” Zhong Zecheng said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bian Ruili and the others looked at each other, but all shook their heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They refuse?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t blame us for being rude then!” Zhong Zecheng said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this, others also followed his words and surrounded Bian Ruili and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bian Ruili and the others exchanged looks and eventually relented, handing over their Spatial Spirit Tools.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, chunks of meat and even internal organs appeared on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This horrified everyone;

we didn’t kill the people.” Bian Ruili and the others explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, who would believe them now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deceiving ghosts!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Surrender peacefully!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In the end, justice will be served, and the sect will hold you accountable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the crowd’s verbal attacks, Bian Ruili and the others also showed ferocity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t push us too far!” They clenched their fists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, are you even daring to threaten?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Infected by werewolf bites, they must crave human flesh.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They can no longer be considered our kin.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kill them!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few radicals shouted, completely enraging Bian Ruili and the others, who immediately charged out, sparking a battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang bang bang, an intense battle unfolded, incredibly fierce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Bian Ruili and the others were outnumbered, as the fight began, they entered a different state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Their bodies sprouted clusters of black fur, their fingers turned sharp and long, their mouths protruding, their noses recessed, completely resembling a hybrid of human and wolf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this state, the strength and reflexes of Bian Ruili and the others significantly improved, and the black fur surprisingly provided them with tremendous defensive power, so they were not at a disadvantage in facing so many opponents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Shi Hao and his group consisted of only thirteen people, and Shi Hao hadn’t joined the fight yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After paying a huge price, Bian Ruili and the others were finally wiped out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—After the brutal battle, their mental states suffered deeply, fighting to the death with no retreat, indistinguishable from those werewolves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the group also gained several injured members.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Anyone bitten or scratched by werewolves could possibly become new werewolves!” someone said, and with their intelligence, they could deduce that much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The injured ones turned pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you want to do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please don’t stay within the team.” someone suggested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, they must be killed.” Another held a different opinion, “We can’t let them hurt others!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unable to reach a consensus, ultimately, the side advocating letting them go prevailed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If conflict arose, who knew who would get injured next, and naturally, no one wanted to take that risk of being the injured person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus divided, Shi Hao’s group had only nine left, and they continued their journey. However, after just half a day, they encountered another werewolf attack, which resulted in the death of two as a price to finally resolve this batch of werewolves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after their rest, yet another person was found hanging upside down on a nearby tree, their insides spilled, blood everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could this be?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with this scene, everyone was in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had already expelled the injured from the group, so how could there still be a mysterious killer?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who could it be, just who?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, only a mere six people were left. If the killer was among them, it had to be one of the six.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, it couldn’t be oneself, so among the other five, who was the suspect?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In such suspicion, they traveled again, and predictably, they encountered another pack of werewolves. In the fierce battle, no one died this time, but three were injured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, they didn’t drive the injured three out of the team; they had too few people left, and if they did, what would happen when they encountered werewolves again?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the uninjured were suspicious of the injured, and vice versa, thus the two sides didn’t dare stay close, but settled in separate areas, clearly divided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The uninjured were only Shi Hao, Zhong Zecheng, and Zuo Huanheng; once they rested, they went to find the other three, only to find three corpses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hanging upside down, innards removed, the same manner of death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, Zhong Zecheng stepped back a few paces, watching Shi Hao and Zuo Huanheng with utmost vigilance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the three of them were left; if the killer wasn’t him, it had to be either Shi Hao or Zuo Huanheng, possibly both!\u003C\u002Fp>",1099,"2026-06-09T05:59:16.516Z",1,"novelbin.me","2baed12b155b7573a1320cffc0056c7da3f5d3bd458e6ddfb575fb8933d1e7ef","asura-emperor-venerable-chapter-1186","asura-emperor-venerable-chapter-1184",1662,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fasura-emperor-venerable-cover.jpg"]
