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

Xiaodie's face was pale, and her voice was trembling: "Old strategist... he... he... he was... was... assassinated..."

Xiao Bei felt a buzzing sound in his head and was completely stunned.

The old counselor is dead?

How can it be!

How long has the meeting just ended?

He immediately realized that this was definitely not an accident, but deliberate sabotage!

"Take me to see it!" Xiao Bei's tone was cold, and a murderous aura instantly spread out.

Following Xiaodie to the old strategist's room, I saw the old strategist lying in a pool of blood with a dagger stuck in his chest.

Bei Li also rushed over after hearing the news. Seeing this scene, her face turned pale. She grabbed Xiao Bei's sleeve tightly and whispered, "Brother Xiao Bei, this is too scary..." Xiao Bei gently patted her hand, signaling her not to be afraid.

He squatted down and carefully examined the old strategist's wound. There was no mark on the dagger. It was obvious that the murderer was well prepared and meticulous.

"Seal off the scene immediately and no one is allowed to enter or leave!" Xiao Bei stood up and gave the order sternly.

Xiaodie quickly responded and left.

Xiao Bei frowned, his mind racing.

The old strategist is highly respected and has great prestige among the allies. Who wants to kill him?

Could it be a spy within the alliance?

Or is it a conspiracy by external forces?

In the next few days, the atmosphere in the alliance was extremely depressing.

The death of the old strategist was like a bomb, causing a stir within the alliance.

People from all forces were in a panic and talked about it.

Because of the previous spy incident, some forces' trust in the alliance has already declined, and now the old strategist has been assassinated, which has deepened their doubts.

They began to doubt the security within the alliance, and some even began to consider withdrawing from the alliance.

The work of resource integration has therefore come to a standstill.

Each force began to make its own calculations and was unwilling to contribute resources.

Xiao Bei felt a huge pressure

"Brother Xiao Bei, don't worry too much," Bei Li looked at him distressedly, "We will find the murderer."

Xiao Bei forced a smile and rubbed her hair: "I know, but..." He sighed and didn't continue.

He knew that finding the murderer was only the first step. What was more important was how to rebuild the trust of the alliance and how to reunite the various forces.

At this moment, the representative of Loyal Force A hurried in and said, "Leader, we have important matters to report to you!" His face was solemn and his tone was hurried.

Almost at the same time, the representative of Loyal Force B also arrived, "Leader, we..." The two looked at each other and saw surprise and a hint of hostility in each other's eyes.

The representative of Loyal Faction A spoke first, a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone: "Alliance Leader, regarding the preliminary plan for resource integration, we feel that the allocation of our forces is somewhat unreasonable. We have contributed a lot, but received little in return. This..."

The representative of Loyal Faction B interrupted him without hesitation: "Contributed a lot? How dare you say that with your small contribution? We contributed the most, so why should you take so much?"

The two of them argued back and forth, their faces red and ears flushed, as if they were about to start a fight at any moment.

Xiao Bei rubbed his temples and felt overwhelmed.

This is really a case of adding insult to injury, with internal and external troubles coming at the same time.

He was about to speak to mediate when he suddenly remembered a suggestion his old strategist had once given him, a brand new plan for resource integration.

"Please be patient, both of you," Xiao Bei raised his hand to signal them to be quiet, "I have a new plan for resource integration." He combined the advice of the old counselor with modern management concepts and proposed a new resource allocation model.

This model is not only fair and just, but also maximizes the advantages of each force and achieves optimal allocation of resources.

"Brilliant!" After hearing Xiao Bei's plan, the representative of Loyal Faction A couldn't help but applaud, "This plan is very beneficial to us! Alliance Leader is wise!"

Although the representative of Loyal Force B was somewhat reluctant, he could not find any fault with it and could only nod in agreement reluctantly.

Representatives from other forces also expressed their agreement, and Xiao Bei's plan was quickly recognized by everyone.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Bei secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally solved the urgent need.

He looked around, his eyes suddenly fixed on an inconspicuous potted plant in the corner of the room.

"and many more……"

Xiao Bei's eyes were fixed on the potted plant, and everyone followed his gaze.

"What's wrong, Alliance Leader? Is there something wrong with this potted plant?" asked the representative of Loyal Force A in confusion.

Xiao Bei didn't answer, but walked straight to the potted plant and reached out to fiddle with the branches and leaves.

"This soil..." Xiao Bei picked up a little soil and sniffed it. "Something's wrong. This soil has the scent of 'Netherworld Soil' mixed in it!"

"Netherworld soil?" Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. This was an extremely rare poisonous soil in the world of immortal cultivation. It would kill anyone who touched it and hurt anyone who smelled it. How could it appear here?

Xiao Bei's eyes flashed: "The appearance of such a thing in the old counselor's room is definitely not a coincidence!" He looked around at everyone and said in a low voice: "It seems that there is really a ghost among us!"

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and everyone's heart was shrouded in a shadow.

Bei Li watched Xiao Bei handle affairs in an orderly manner, her eyes full of admiration. She quietly prepared his favorite spiritual tea for Xiao Bei.

"Xiaodie, you are responsible for checking all the people who have entered and left the old strategist's room. Make sure to find any clues!" Xiao Bei ordered.

In the next few days, under Xiao Bei's command, the alliance worked like a high-speed machine, efficiently checking every corner and every person.

Under Xiao Bei's promotion, the alliance began to integrate resources according to the new plan, various affairs gradually got on track, and the cohesion of the alliance began to strengthen.

Some forces that had originally been on the sidelines, seeing how decisive Xiao Bei was, also began to actively cooperate and voluntarily hand over resources.

Xiao Bei did not punish the inactive forces in the usual way, but...

"Alliance leader, this is last month's financial statement, please take a look." Xiaodie respectfully handed a document to Xiao Bei.

"Hmm." Xiao Bei took the document, flipped through a few pages, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Interesting..."

Xiao Bei didn't use those old-fashioned punishment routines, but instead played a "contrasting cuteness" game.

Instead of punishing, he rewarded those forces with a wave of his hand and sent "friendly sponsorship" to those procrastinating forces - several trucks of useless scrap metal, which he euphemistically called "strategic material reserves."

After receiving the "gift", these forces were confused and dared not speak out, but it was difficult for them to refuse Xiao Bei's "good intentions".

Xiao Bei's actions seem confusing, but they actually contain hidden secrets.

He then personally visited them, putting on a look of deep sorrow, and earnestly advised them, "I know you guys are short on money lately. These 'strategic materials' may look shabby, but they're my token of appreciation. Once I become wealthy, I'm sure you'll all be indebted to me!"

This "sincere" performance made those forces laugh and cry.

They thought Xiao Bei would come to hold them accountable, but unexpectedly he came to deliver "waste".

Xiao Bei's tactic of using "waste" to win over the hearts and minds of the people made them feel embarrassed to continue to hold back. They all expressed their willingness to actively participate in the affairs of the alliance, fearing that they would receive "friendly sponsorship" from Xiao Bei again.

For a time, there was peace within the alliance, and everyone worked together in full swing.

Looking at this thriving scene, Xiao Bei couldn't help but smile with a shrewd smile.

He knew in his heart that this was just the calm before the storm and the real challenge was yet to come.

The emergence of "Netherworld Soil" made Xiao Bei realize that the crisis within the alliance was far more serious than he had imagined.

Xiaodie's investigation also made no progress. The clues were like a kite with a broken string, and she could not find any clues.

Xiao Bei was comforting Bei Li while thinking about countermeasures.

"Brother Xiao Bei, you haven't had a good rest for several days. You must take care of yourself!" Bei Li handed over a cup of spiritual tea with concern. She knew that Xiao Bei had a lot of things in his mind, but she couldn't help and could only accompany him silently.

Xiao Bei took the spiritual tea, took a sip, felt the fragrance of the tea spread in his mouth, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

He rubbed Beili's hair and smiled: "Don't worry, I'm fine."

However, his smile carried a subtle solemnity.

He knew that a bigger storm was coming.

That day, Xiao Bei was discussing the next plan with representatives of loyal factions A and B. Suddenly, Xiao Die rushed in, her face pale, and she said incoherently: "Leader...something's wrong...outside...outside..."

"What happened outside? Tell me slowly!" Xiao Bei frowned, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart.

Xiaodie took a deep breath and said tremblingly, "There are a lot of people outside... They... They..."

"They... they have surrounded us!" the representative of Loyal Force A shouted in horror, his voice changing in tone.

Xiao Bei stood up suddenly, walked to the window, and looked into the distance.

All I saw was a dark mass in the distance, with countless figures approaching towards the alliance.

"It seems that the good show is about to begin..." Xiao Bei curled his lips into a sneer, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

He turned around slowly, his eyes firm and cold: "Beili, prepare to fight!"
