Immediately, some people were overjoyed, while others were astonished.

They were overjoyed that Zhou Shi had not died and that their brothers were still alive; they were alarmed that the man in the black robe had said exactly what he meant, and that their actions were all under his control.

"Zhou Shi, Zhou Shi?"

The person who had just checked Zhou Shi's breathing tried to wake him, but there was no response.

You're lying!

At that moment, everyone pointed at the black robe and roared.

"He is indeed not dead, it's just that you woke him up the wrong way."

As if to verify his words, the man in the black robe moved his hand slightly under his robe. Suddenly, Zhou Shi, who had been motionless, sprang up and broke free from the restraints of those around him, standing up.

"Owner."

A lifeless reply.

Everyone was startled and went to investigate, only to find Zhou Shi standing there stiffly, his limbs rigid, his eyes vacant, and his face expressionless.

This isn't a living person, it's a puppet!

The look in everyone's eyes changed; anger was mixed with fear.

The man in the black robe chuckled, and his hand under the robe moved again. Zhou Shi then walked straight toward him.

The crowd parted to make way for him.

After walking about halfway, Zhou Shi stopped between the people in black robes and the Black Dragon Clan.

"And you, come out here."

As the hoarse voice rang out again, Black Tiger, who had been unconscious, suddenly opened his eyes, startling his caregiver who stammered:

"Big...Big...Big brother...he...he...he's awake..."

What?

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and felt a cool breeze brush their cheeks. There was no one in the original spot, but in front of Zhou Shi stood their beloved elder brother—Black Tiger.

Can anyone tell them what's going on?

Zhou Shi, who had been dead, not only revived but also obeyed the command of the man in black robes; while Black Tiger, who had been unconscious, also appeared in front of them in an instant.

It can be said that apart from the man in the black robe and Qi Sheng, who had been observing, no one present could clearly see Black Tiger's movements just now.

"Let's do it."

While everyone was still wondering, they saw the two who had been standing still suddenly activate a mechanism and begin fighting.

"Zhou Shi, wake up! That's your older brother!"

"Brother, wake up! Zhou Shi is one of our own..."

"Stop fighting!"

For a moment, seeing the two fighting so fiercely, everyone was extremely anxious.

The two fighters were oblivious to the others, or rather, they paid no attention to them at all, because all they could think about was the command given to them by the man in black robes: to keep fighting!

When their attempts to dissuade them failed, someone rushed forward to forcibly separate them. Suddenly, with a loud "bang," the person was sent flying through the air, landing more than ten meters away.

"Xiangzi!"

A gasp rang out from the crowd, and someone immediately went to the person who had fallen to the ground.

But Xiangzi had already stopped breathing.

That shockwave had shattered his internal organs.

Seeing living people die like this, the Black Dragon Clan immediately became agitated.

The sight of three people, a full three people, immediately ignited their fighting spirit, and they wanted to rush out and fight the man in black robes to the death.

"Qi Sheng, what are you doing? Don't stop us!"

When Qi Sheng, who had remained expressionless, stepped in to stop them, some people immediately became unhappy.

"Qi Sheng, you and that person aren't in cahoots, are you?"

"What is your purpose? Why are you harming our Black Dragon Clan like this?"

"You are a traitor, you don't deserve to stay in the Black Dragon Clan!"

"Get out! Since you're all in cahoots, stop putting on an act and go back to your new den!"

Although the Black Dragon Clan does some strange experiments, they are very united internally, with everyone regarding each other as brothers, and they have great respect for their leader, Black Tiger.

Seeing that Qi Sheng maintained his calm and composed attitude, everyone couldn't stand it anymore and started cursing.

"quack……"

The man in the black robe said in a strange tone:

"Little Qi Sheng, did you hear that? Everyone's pointing the finger at you~ Aren't you coming over here? We're all on the same side..."

Sure enough, they were in cahoots!

At that moment, everyone was even more furious and shoved Qi Sheng, pushing him to the front.

"Get out! Get out now! You're not welcome here!"

"You really are a traitor, betraying our Black Dragon Clan!"

"Kill him! Kill him! We, the Black Dragon Clan, will not tolerate traitors!"

Someone shouted, and a light yellow spiritual energy shot towards Qi Sheng.

Qi Sheng stretched out his hand and waved it gently, and the spiritual energy evaporated in mid-air, just like water meeting fire.

His unchanging eyes finally flashed with anger, and he turned to glare at the crowd:

"Are you all crazy? Can't you see what's going on? He clearly wants to completely disintegrate us from within!"

After saying that, he turned to the man in the black robe and said in an annoyed tone:

"I don't care who you are or what kind of sorcery you use, in short, our Black Dragon Clan will not cooperate with you."

Qi Sheng's sudden outburst brought a moment of calm to everyone. Slowly, some began to recall the series of events that had occurred, as well as the actions of the man in black robes. Finally, as if waking from a dream, someone slapped their forehead and exclaimed:

"We've wronged Qi Sheng! He's not the traitor; it's that other person who's trying to sow discord among us!"

Some people realized this, while others didn't believe it.

"He must be acting! I admit, what he said was very good and made a lot of sense, but have you noticed that the other person's attitude towards Qi Sheng was completely different, and he only had eyes for Qi Sheng from beginning to end? Doesn't that prove that they are in cahoots?"

"No, I believe Qi Sheng. He's not that kind of person."

“I also believe that he has always been with the Black Dragon Clan and would never have contacted them, so how could it be considered acting or betrayal?”

After the last sentence was uttered, everyone finally realized the truth.

They forgot the most important point: Qi Sheng had never left the Black Dragon Clan!

After figuring it out, everyone huddled together, and before they knew it, Qi Sheng had returned to the center position.

"You little guys are quite interesting."

The man in the black robe seemed surprised that things hadn't gone as he expected; his surprise was fleeting.

His unfocused eyes shifted from Qi Sheng, scanning the crowd. A sinister voice emanated from beneath his face, which was obscured from view:

"In that case, let's end the game here."

"What?"

While everyone was still wondering, a strange wind carrying a fishy stench swept towards them, and their minds went blank for a moment. They felt their limbs begin to go weak and become uncontrollable.

They immediately tried to hold their breath, but it was no match for the persistent numbness and drowsiness...

In an instant, everyone collapsed to the ground, leaving Qi Sheng standing still, facing the wind.

The man in the black robe carefully scanned Qi Sheng several times, then said with a forced smile:

“I’ve made up my mind—you don’t have to receive the same treatment as them.”

After speaking, Qi Sheng, who had been on high alert, suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head. He tried to grasp something, but couldn't find it...
