Half an hour later.

The body had been removed, and the police had also evacuated, leaving only that officer at the scene.

At that moment, a person suddenly appeared out of thin air.

"It's been a while," the officer said, "Hua Shan!"

The newcomer was indeed Hua Shan.

"What a strong smell of blood!"

Looking at the bloodstains on the ground, Hua Shan said, "Officer Liu, you want me to help you find the perpetrator, don't you?"

The officer shook his head and said, "Recently, several murders have occurred in our city. Judging from the wounds on the victims, they don't seem to have been committed by a person. That's why I called for you."

"Are you suggesting the culprit might be something unclean?"

The officer hummed in agreement: "As you know, if we get involved with this kind of case, even if we solve it, there will still be repercussions."

"But your conscience doesn't allow you to watch more innocent people get killed, so you came to me, right?"

The officer nodded, somewhat ashamed.

"If anything similar happens in the future, just come straight to me!" Hua Shan said to the officer with a smile.

Having said that, Hua Shan walked over to the pool of blood on the ground, closed his eyes, and started to use his ability to sense the past. In no time, images from dozens of minutes earlier began to surface in his mind: A wolf-beast tore a man in half, and then began to devour his flesh and blood. Soon after, the sound of police sirens approached, followed by a dozen officers surrounding the area.

At that moment, something unexpected happened—the wolf-beast suddenly disappeared into thin air, startling Hua Shan into opening his eyes.

"Hua Shan, what did you see?" the officer asked eagerly.

"I saw a wolf-beast!" Hua Shan replied.

The officer suddenly appeared horrified, exclaiming, "What! A wolf-beast!"

Hua Shan's expression turned contemplative; he was wondering if the wolf-beast he just saw was the same one from the East Sea South Mountain, the one that had fought with the giant beast from the Wolf Tribe?

"No wonder they've never been found," Hua Shan muttered to himself, "They have the ability to turn invisible!"

Hua Shan turned to the officer and said, "Give me the flashlight!"

The officer nodded blankly and handed over the flashlight he was holding to Hua Shan.

After receiving the flashlight, Hua Shan turned around and walked back, shining the flashlight on every inch of the road surface, carefully searching for something.

The officer followed behind Hua Shan, completely lost.

Quickly, Hua Shan spotted a few drops of blood on the road nearby.

"Found it!" A glint flashed in Hua Shan's eyes, "Since the wolf-beast tore someone apart and ate him, it must have gotten some blood on itself. Even though it's invisible and we can't capture its image, we can trace its departure point and path through the blood drops that fell from its body."

Hearing Hua Shan speak, the officer behind him felt confused!

"Hua Shan, what are you talking about?"

"Just follow me!" Hua Shan instructed.

Afterward, the two followed the trail of blood droplets every dozen meters or so, exited the alley, and arrived at an intersection.

Seeing the road ahead illuminated by streetlights and guessing that the wolf-beast would not likely walk on the road, Hua Shan closed his eyes again and used his past-sensing ability.

Scenes from dozens of minutes prior began to rewind rapidly in his mind, until he saw a wolf-beast suddenly appear in the footage, at which point he immediately stopped sensing.

Then something even more shocking happened—the wolf-beast crawled a few steps before suddenly standing up, shrinking, and transforming into a tall, complete human being.

After transforming back into a human, the wolf creature walked onto the street and took a cab away.

Xie Xiaofeng opened his eyes, turned to the police officer behind him, and asked, "Did you drive here?"

The officer nodded, "The car is parked nearby!"

"Quickly go get the car!"

Soon after, the officer brought the car over.

Xie Xiaofeng got in the car and, while keeping his eyes closed to sense the past, directed the officer where to drive.

Over an hour later, the car stopped next to a desolate mountain in the suburbs.

Two hours earlier, the person into whom the wolf creature had transformed had also disembarked in this location. After the taxi had driven off into the distance, that person suddenly leaped up high, and mid-air, transformed back into a wolf creature and descended into the mountain.

"This wolf creature did not consume the cab driver just now, but instead went to the trouble of running into the city to eat someone and come back. Clearly, it did not want the police to trace it to this place," Xie Xiaofeng thought to himself.

Xie Xiaofeng looked up at the desolate mountains shrouded in the gloomy night and asked, "What mountain is that ahead?"

"That's Beiwang Mountain, and further in lies Beiwang Nature Reserve, one of the largest nature reserves in our East Country."

The officer said to Xie Xiaofeng, "I've heard that there were Bigfoot sightings in that nature reserve. When you mentioned earlier that you saw a wolf creature, could it be a feral werewolf that ran out and attacked people?"

"Bigfoot?" Xie Xiaofeng furrowed his brows deep in thought. From the attire of the wolf creature that had transformed into a human, it didn't look like someone living in the mountains at all, and it certainly wasn't a member of the Beast Clan that had run out from the southern ranges of Hua Shan or East Sea.

Unless someone had provided them with those modern things.

Not wanting to startle the quarry, Xie Xiaofeng didn't venture any deeper into the mountains. To find out whether the mountain was inhabited by feral werewolves or ancient wolf creatures, all that was needed was a visit from a powerful Onmyoji.

Therefore, Chen Hao's image appeared in Xie Xiaofeng's mind. Chen Hao had always been Xie Xiaofeng's top choice for dealing with beast people.

However, by the break of dawn the next day,

Xie Xiaofeng did not go to the Netherworld to find Chen Hao; instead, he went to the Yin Yang Master Association in Y City and found Xie Xiaofeng.

Seeing Xie Xiaofeng approaching him proactively, Xie Xiaofeng was surprised.

"It isn't about the wolf creatures from the Wolf Tribe, is it?" Xie Xiaofeng asked.

"You guessed it!" Xiao Feng smiled in response.

"That's odd," Xie Xiaofeng said with a puzzled look, "Why didn't you go find Chen Hao instead of coming to me? Can't you go to the Netherworld yourself?"

Xie Xiaofeng walked up to Xie Xiaofeng and said with a smile, "That kid is about to become a dad, he needs to stay home with his wife. Come with me!"

Before Xie Xiaofeng could agree or disagree, Xie Xiaofeng instantly took him to the road beside Beiwang Mountain from the night before.

"Use your Yin Yang Eyes to see if there's anything unclean on this mountain."

"Where is this?" Xie Xiaofeng asked in surprise.

"Y City."

"Y City!" Xie Xiaofeng was stunned!

In his memory, Q City was located at the southwestern end of East Country's map, while the Y City where he was located was in the central northern part, the two places were quite distant, and it would take more than three hours by plane.

"Hurry and check the geomancy," Xie Xiaofeng said teasingly.

Xie Xiaofeng gave Xie Xiaofeng the middle finger, then looked towards Beiwang Mountain.

After a while, he said, "There's a shroud of beast energy covering the top of the mountain. Judging from the scent of the beast energy, there should be many animals from ancient times."

"So it's not Bigfoot after all?"

"Bigfoot? Dude, please, what era is this? There are no Bigfoots around anymore!"
