Wang Qiushi was basking in his own smugness when he was startled by the sudden scream. He frowned and looked at the pockmarked man with displeasure: "What's wrong with you? You startled me with your sudden outburst."

The other cultivators also cast disapproving glances: "Why are you yelling like that? You're making a scene and ruining our mood."

The pockmarked man was so frightened he couldn't speak coherently. His hands trembled violently as he pointed behind Wang Qiushi, his teeth chattering: "You...you look! A dragon...a dragon!"

His voice was filled with boundless fear, as if he had seen the most terrifying thing in the world.

Following the direction the pockmarked man pointed, everyone's faces, which had been filled with anger, instantly turned deathly pale, as if chilled to the bone. Their breaths seemed to be abruptly stopped by an invisible hand. Fear, like a surging tide, engulfed them completely.

The same unbelievable thought surged uncontrollably into everyone's mind: How could this be! The Chilong that had just been clearly frightened away by Bai Ying, how could it reappear here like a ghost? Not only that, but its numbers were even larger than before, and it came on strong, threatening to completely annihilate their group.

Before anyone could react, or even consider fleeing, the leading giant dragon let out a deafening roar and charged forward like an arrow. Its gaping maw, taller than a person, snapped open. The next second, its sharp teeth bit into the pockmarked cultivator.

"No—" the pockmarked man let out a desperate scream.

He was the loudest when he was insulting Bai Ying.

He was Wang Qiushi's biggest supporter and the one who trusted him the most within the sect. He genuinely believed that Bai Ying's actions were entirely directed at Senior Brother Wang and that she was slandering him.

He thought that as long as he followed Senior Brother Wang, he would have Senior Brother Wang as his strongest backer, and after leaving this secret place, he would be able to expose Bai Ying's lies.

However, just as Bai Ying had predicted, these terrifying monsters followed Wang Qiushi here and pinned him down.

The pockmarked man trembled violently with fear. He desperately stretched out his hands, his eyes filled with a desperate will to survive, trying to grasp even the slightest hope. But before his fingertips could even touch the person beside him, the dragon's powerful bite instantly severed his body.

In an instant, crimson blood gushed out like a jet of water from a high-pressure water gun, splashing in all directions with a "whoosh." Warm droplets of blood splattered onto the surrounding ground, onto their companions' clothes, and even drew eerie streaks in the air. The pungent stench of blood quickly filled the air, irritating the nasal passages of everyone present and making them want to vomit.

"Ahhhhh!" Terrified screams rose and fell, instantly echoing throughout the entire world.

The demonic beasts attacked them like madmen. The cultivators stared at Wang Qiushi in disbelief, their eyes filled with anger, despair, and disbelief.

"Bai Ying was telling the truth! You bastard, you actually used the second Beast-Attracting Pill! You're the one who attracted these monsters, you're trying to kill us all!"

But even at this point, Wang Qiushi still refused to admit that he had summoned the monster. He was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, his face ashen. Yet he still stubbornly insisted:

"No, it was Bai Ying. Bai Ying was the one who wanted to kill us. She must have thrown the Beast-Attracting Pill at me when she got close. It was her doing."

Wang Qiushi roared and waved his arms, trying to defend himself. But his bloodied arms became the most compelling evidence at that moment.

He had just been bitten by a monster. A hideous wound appeared on his forearm, the flesh torn open, and blood gushed out like a spring, pooling on the ground into a shocking pool of blood.

Even more deadly was the intense aura of the Beast-Attracting Pill emanating from his blood, which grew increasingly strong and pungent over time, like the aroma of various foods filling the air, attracting all the demonic beasts.

The surviving cultivators stared at Wang Qiushi with strange, sarcastic looks.

Previously, Bai Ying had so confidently pointed out Wang Qiushi's evil deeds, but at that time, they were blinded by Wang Qiushi and thought that Bai Ying was slandering a good person.

Now, the facts are clear.

When Bai Ying caught Wang Qiushi, she did not cause him any harm. So how could she have integrated the Beast-Attracting Pill into his blood as Wang Qiushi claimed?

Furthermore, it takes time for the Beast-Attracting Pill to fuse with blood. If these demonic beasts were indeed attracted by Bai Ying, the flavor in Wang Qiushi's blood could not possibly be so strong.

The truth struck everyone like a blow to the head. Everything Bai Ying said was true!

They were completely deceived by Wang Qiushi, whom they had always trusted!

Upon careful recollection, Wang Qiushi had no wounds on his body when he first used the Beast-Attracting Pill, so there should have been no smell of the pill in his body at that time.

Now, this strong odor can only mean that he used the Beast-Attracting Pill again after being injured. He was attempting to use the pill to summon a demonic beast and kill everyone.

They're probably afraid that the fact that he killed so many people the first time he used the Beast-Attracting Pill will get out!

He actually did something so beastly!

Unexpectedly, the Beast-Attracting Pill merged with his blood, turning him into a walking "giant Beast-Attracting Pill," continuously attracting demonic beasts and dragging everyone into this abyss of no return.

Everyone stared at Wang Qiushi in disbelief, their eyes filled with shock and pain.

They trusted him so completely, regarding him as their most reliable senior brother, and even broke ties with Bai Ying for his sake. They also hurled insults at her.

But now they realize that this "good senior brother" they admired was actually such a despicable and shameless person. He had been plotting to kill them behind their backs.

Now he has lured so many demonic beasts here, putting them all in danger.

Regret surged like a tidal wave in everyone's hearts. They were filled with bitterness. If they had chosen to trust Bai Ying and let her deal with Wang Qiushi, they wouldn't be in this miserable state of about to become food for monsters.

But it's too late now. Everything is beyond redemption.
