Traveling through the world of immortal cultivation: My system is amazing

Chapter 140: The road to finding the real murderer is difficult, Xiao Bei bravely breaks through man

The sharp arrow broke through the air, with a sharp whistling sound, and went straight towards the old man!

Xiao Bei was quick-witted and quick-handed. He pulled the old man behind him and at the same time, he swung his hand back. A spiritual power barrier was formed instantly, blocking the sharp arrow.

With a "clang" sound, the sharp arrow fell and the arrowhead was deeply embedded in the ground.

"Fuck, are you serious?!" Xiao Bei couldn't help but curse. This is the world of cultivating immortals. It's too unsportsmanlike to shoot someone in the back when they disagree with something!

He glanced around sharply, but didn't find any suspicious people.

This hidden arrow came and went without a trace, and the person who shot it was obviously a master.

The old man was trembling with fear, his face as pale as paper, and he said tremblingly: "Master, please spare me, I really don't know anything!"

"Heh," Xiao Bei sneered, "You don't know? You're kidding! How do you explain the antidote to the Soul-Erosion Powder in your hand?"

Before the old man could speak, the little rat suddenly poked its head out of Xiao Bei's arms, squeaked twice, and pointed its little paws in a direction.

Xiao Bei looked in the direction it pointed, and saw a black shadow flash by at an astonishing speed.

"Want to run? No way!" A gleam of light flashed in Xiao Bei's eyes, and he threw the old man to Bei Li, "Keep an eye on him!" Then his figure flashed and turned into a shadow to chase after him.

"Hey! Wait for me!" Seeing this, Beili hurriedly picked up the old man like a chicken and followed closely behind.

Although she had no cultivation, her lightness skills were superb, and her speed was not much slower than Xiao Bei's.

During the chase, Xiao Bei discovered that the shadow's escape route was very strange. It specifically went to crowded places, obviously trying to use the crowd to cover itself.

"This guy is quite cunning!" Xiao Bei said in his heart.

After chasing for a while, the black shadow suddenly stopped, turned to face Xiao Bei, revealing a familiar face.

"Young Master Jin?!" Xiao Bei was slightly stunned. How could it be him?

Young Master Jin, the eldest son of the Jin family, is also a famous playboy in the world of immortal cultivation. He has had several conflicts with Xiao Bei, but he shouldn't be so cruel, right?

"Xiao Bei, it's really a narrow road for enemies to meet." Young Master Jin had a cold smile on his face. "I didn't expect you to follow me here."

"Mr. Jin, what do you mean? Why do you want to hurt my little spirit rat?" Xiao Bei's tone was cold, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.

Young Master Jin laughed heartily. "Hurt your little spirit rat? Xiao Bei, please stop slandering me! I've never done such a thing!"

"Really?" Xiao Bei sneered, and a long sword suddenly appeared in his hand. "Since you refuse to admit it, don't blame me for being rude!"

"Wait," Young Master Jin's expression changed slightly, "Xiao Bei, I advise you not to act rashly. Do you really think you can touch me?"

"Oh? Really?" Xiao Bei raised his lips with a mocking smile, "I want to see what you rely on..."

Xiao Bei pointed the tip of his sword directly at Young Master Jin, his eyes filled with murderous intent: "Rely on? I want to see what kind of reliance you have that makes you so arrogant!"

Young Master Jin sneered and clapped his hands. A group of men in black instantly rushed out from all directions and surrounded Xiao Bei and Bei Li.

"Xiao Bei, do you think you can fight against my entire Jin family by yourself? That's just a foolish dream!"

Bei Li curled her lips and muttered softly: "Tsk, bullying the minority with a large number of people, what kind of ability is that!" Although she had no cultivation, her aura was not inferior to those men in black.

Xiao Bei frowned slightly, he knew that if he forced his way in today, he would get nothing.

The Jin family is very powerful. If a fight really breaks out, even if he can escape unscathed, Beili and the little rat will inevitably be injured.

His eyes rolled and a plan came to his mind.

"Mr. Jin, are you sure you want to do it here?" Xiao Bei's lips curled up in a playful arc, "Aren't you afraid of alerting the city guards? That would make everyone look bad."

Young Master Jin's expression changed slightly. He certainly knew that the city guards were not easy to mess with.

If he really alarmed them, even if he was the eldest son of the Jin family, he would inevitably suffer some physical pain.

"Hmph, you're smart!" Young Master Jin snorted coldly and waved his hand, signaling the man in black to retreat. "I'll let you go today, but you won't be so lucky next time!"

Xiao Bei shrugged, looking nonchalant: "Next time? I won't show mercy next time."

After saying that, he turned and left, and Beili hurriedly followed.

"Wait!" Young Master Jin suddenly shouted, "Xiao Bei, do you think you can find out the truth like this? I'm telling you, you'll never know!"

Xiao Bei didn't even turn his head and sneered: "Really? Then we'll see!"

After leaving the Jin Mansion, Xiao Bei did not give up the investigation.

He believed that as long as he didn't give up, he would be able to find the truth.

"Little smart mouse," Xiao Bei touched the little smart mouse's head, "this time it's up to you."

The little mouse squeaked twice to show that it understood.

It is small and agile, making it the perfect candidate for infiltration.

Xiao Bei was in a hidden corner, watching the little rat sneak into the Jin Mansion.

"I hope you can discover something..." Xiao Bei muttered to himself.

As the night deepened, the Jin Mansion became silent.

The little clever rat shuttled around the mansion, looking for clues.

Suddenly, it saw a ray of light through the crack of a study window...

The little mouse was agile and slipped into the study quietly.

In the dim candlelight, it saw a piece of paper on the table, covered with strange symbols.

Although the little mouse was illiterate, it keenly felt that this piece of paper was unusual.

It gently patted the paper with its little paws and put it into the storage bag that Xiao Bei had prepared in advance, then quickly left the study.

After returning to Xiao Bei, the little rat squeaked a few times and handed the storage bag to Xiao Bei.

Xiao Bei opened the storage bag and saw the paper covered with strange symbols, frowning slightly.

"What kind of ghost painting is this?"

"It looks like some kind of formation diagram," Beili came over to take a look and said, "but I've never seen this kind of formation before."

"Formation diagram?" Xiao Bei's heart moved, and he suddenly remembered a rumor he had heard in the market before, saying that someone had been secretly researching a forbidden technique that could control the minds of spirit beasts.

Could it be that this is the reason why the little rat was injured?

"Fuck, it can't be so bloody, right?" Xiao Bei couldn't help but complain.

Beili silently prepared food and water for Xiao Bei, her eyes full of concern.

Xiao Bei felt warm in his heart and reached out to rub her hair: "My Li'er is still the best."

"Of course," Beili raised his chin proudly, "Don't you see whose wife she is?"

Xiao Bei smiled and began to study the formation diagram carefully.

Relying on his rich knowledge from his previous life, he quickly deciphered the symbols and discovered that this was indeed a forbidden technique to control the minds of spirit beasts.

Moreover, he also discovered that this forbidden technique required a special material - Soul-Erosion Powder.

"Spirit Eclipse Powder..." Xiao Bei muttered to himself, suddenly remembering the antidote he had found on the old man before. "It seems that my guess was correct. The little spirit rat's injury is indeed related to this forbidden technique."

Based on the clues on the formation diagram, Xiao Bei deduced several suspicious characters, including several elders of the Jin family and some immortal cultivation families that have close ties with the Jin family.

"It seems that there is a huge conspiracy behind this..." Xiao Bei's eyes flashed with a gleam, "Interesting, it's getting more and more interesting."

He put away the formation diagram, stood up, and said to Beili, "Li'er, let's go."

"Where are we going?" Beili asked.

Xiao Bei's lips curled up into a devilish smile: "Of course I'm going to meet those old friends..." He paused, a cold light flashed in his eyes, "By the way, let's get back some interest!"

He pushed open the door and disappeared into the night, leaving only one sentence echoing in the air:

"The game begins..."

Xiao Bei conducted a detailed investigation based on the clues he had.

His target was clear, targeting those elders and immortal cultivation families listed as suspicious.

The little clever rat turned into his spy, constantly shuttling back and forth in the night, bringing back valuable information to Xiao Bei.

Whenever he gets closer to the truth, the hidden secrets will reveal a clue.

At the same time, the black hand hidden behind the scenes also felt an invisible pressure.

They could not tolerate a grassroots counterattacker getting so close to their core secrets, and began to plan new actions to try to completely eliminate Xiao Bei.

But Xiao Bei is not a man who would sit and wait for death. He had already noticed the strange undercurrents around him, which instead aroused his greater desire to fight.

On a moonless night, Xiao Bei visited the mysterious elder of the Jin family for the second time.

This elder appears calm on the surface, but he is actually very scheming.

Xiao Bei laughed secretly in his heart, isn't this just a reserve player for the hidden big boss?

During the conversation, Xiao Bei deliberately threw out the fragment of the formation diagram that he pretended to have obtained accidentally, observing the elder's reaction.

As expected, a hint of surprise flashed across the elder's eyes, but he concealed it perfectly in an instant.

Xiao Bei sneered in his heart, he had indeed taken the bait.

After leaving the Jin Mansion, Xiao Bei did not go home directly, but chose to sit down in a pub and listen quietly to the conversations of the people around him.

He knew in his heart that he was like a prey caught in a net, and the hunter who was controlling the net was about to tighten the rope.

Unfortunately, Xiao Bei is the hunter peeking in the mirror.

The next morning, a piece of news came that shocked the world of immortal cultivation: the elder of the Jin family suddenly fell seriously ill, and all his disciples were extremely anxious.

After hearing this, Xiao Bei's expression remained normal, but there was a smile of confidence hidden between his brows.

He knew that the mastermind behind the scenes could no longer hold back and began to show his true colors.

At this moment, Bei Li appeared out of nowhere and rushed to Xiao Bei with excitement: "Brother Xiao, is there any new progress?"

Xiao Bei smiled slightly and patted Bei Li's head: "Of course, the game has just begun."

In the quiet morning light, Xiao Bei's figure walked farther and farther away, his steps firm, and it seemed that nothing could stop him from moving forward.

The corners of his mouth curled up, as if to say, "I'll wait here and see what tricks you have up your sleeve."
