The joy of victory had not yet faded when a sense of uneasiness quietly crept into Xiao Bei's heart.

He stared at the slowly rotating runes in the sky, the golden light flickering like a ghost, reflecting in his deep eyes.

The runes have complex lines and contain an indescribable ancient aura, like a puzzle from ancient times, hanging quietly in the sky.

"What on earth is this?" Xiao Bei muttered to himself, a desire to explore rising in his heart.

Bei Li gently held Xiao Bei's hand, feeling the warmth of his palm, and said softly: "No matter what, we will face it together." Ling Feng covered his chest, his face pale, but still said with all his strength: "Xiao Bei..."

When they returned to the fairy territory, they were not greeted with the expected cheers and praises, but with looks of questioning and suspicion.

Elder Xuanyu slowly stepped out from the crowd. His hair and beard were all white, and his expression was serious. His voice was deep and resonant: "Did you bring this rune back with you?"

His words were like a stone dropped into a calm lake, causing ripples.

The surrounding immortals began to whisper, and the seeds of doubt quickly spread among the crowd.

"Could it be some kind of curse from that Sky-Splitting Beast?"

"Could it be that they have touched some taboo?"

The voices of doubt came like a tide, making it almost impossible for Xiao Bei to breathe.

He took a deep breath and said loudly, "We just saw this rune when it appeared. I don't know its origin, but I will definitely find out!"

His voice was firm and powerful, but it could not dispel the doubts in everyone's hearts.

Elder Xuan Yu shook his head and sighed, "Young man, your courage is commendable, but this matter is of grave importance. You must not act rashly."

Xiao Bei wanted to explain, but he saw Ling Feng's body shaking and his face became paler.

He supported Lingfeng, his eyes swept over everyone, and he said word by word: "Lingfeng was injured to protect everyone, and now he is seriously injured and has not recovered yet..." He paused, his eyes fell on Elder Xuanyu, "Could it be that even the elders doubt us?"

Xiao Bei supported Ling Feng and felt that the weight of his body was like a cloud that was about to dissipate.

Lingfeng's breathing became rapid and weak, sweat soaked his clothes, and his face was as pale as transparent thin paper, as if it would disappear in the wind at any time.

The questioning voices around him were like sharp knives, piercing Xiao Bei's eardrums and aggravating Ling Feng's physical weakness.

He gritted his teeth and used his arms to try to hold Lingfeng steady, but he felt a sense of powerlessness rising from the bottom of his heart.

He could feel Ling Feng's trembling body and the pain and helplessness flashing in his eyes.

The air seemed to freeze, pressing heavily on Xiao Bei's chest, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

At this moment, Beili's voice rang out crisply, like a stream of clear spring cutting through the stagnant air.

"Elder, fellow immortals, please listen to me." Her voice was not loud, but it carried an unquestionable power that instantly attracted everyone's attention.

She stepped forward, her eyes sweeping across the crowd with determination. Her tone was calm and clear, "When the rune appeared, we were in the middle of a fierce battle with the Sky-Splitting Beast. If it weren't for Xiao Bei's timely response, none of us would have made it back alive. Now that Ling Feng is seriously injured, we just want to find out the truth as quickly as possible and protect the safety of the Immortal Clan's territory, not dwell on suspicion of each other."

Beili's words were like a thunderclap, exploding in the crowd.

Everyone looked at each other, and the whispers gradually faded.

Xiao Bei looked at Bei Li in surprise. He had never seen Bei Li so decisive. Her words were logically clear and powerful, refuting all the doubts one by one.

The tense atmosphere gradually eased, and a glimmer of hope illuminated Xiao Bei's heart.

Elder Xuanyu stroked his beard, looked at Beili with deep eyes, and said slowly: "Miss Beili is right. This matter does need to be investigated thoroughly..."

Before he could finish his words, there was a sudden commotion in the distance, followed by a shrill scream that pierced the night sky.

Elder Xuan Yu's expression suddenly changed. He looked up into the distance and growled, "Not good!"

A sharp whistling sound came from far away, and a group of black shadows swooped down from the night like locusts, bringing with them a disgusting stench.

They are short in stature, but have ferocious faces, with sharp fangs and claws flashing with a dark green light. They are the little monsters that have become violent due to the influence of the dark aura.

"Protect our people!" Elder Xuanyu shouted, drew out the long sword from his waist, and the sword body burst out with dazzling white light, and he rushed towards the group of monsters first.

Xiao Bei and others also immediately joined the battle.

Although these little monsters are not strong individually, they have the advantage of being numerous and their attacks are extremely cunning, often attacking from angles you would never expect.

A claw flashing green light passed in front of Xiao Bei's eyes, bringing up a fishy wind.

He dodged sideways and slapped the little monster with his backhand, sending it flying. It hit the stone pillar behind him with a dull sound.

"Xiao Bei, be careful!" Bei Li's voice came from the side.

Xiao Bei turned his head and saw a slightly larger little monster waving its sharp claws and pouncing towards Bei Li.

With a thought, his figure disappeared instantly, and the next moment he appeared in front of Beili, knocking the monster back with one punch.

"Are you okay?" Xiao Bei asked with concern.

Bei Li smiled sweetly and shook her head: "It's okay, I'm not afraid of anything as long as you are here." The trust and love in her eyes made Xiao Bei's heart warm, as if a warm current flowed through his body, and his strength increased a little bit.

The battle became more and more intense, and the surrounding immortals fled in all directions. Screams, shouts of killing, and roars of monsters were intertwined, and the atmosphere of chaos continued to spread.

Some conservative immortals even began to blame Xiao Bei and others, believing that they were the ones who brought the disaster.

"See? I told you there was something wrong with them!" A sharp voice came from the crowd, "They must have provoked these monsters!"

Xiao Bei's heart was filled with rage, but he had to suppress it and concentrate on dealing with the enemy in front of him.

He knew that now was not the time to argue. Only by getting rid of these monsters as soon as possible could he prove their innocence.

Although Lingfeng was seriously injured, he still insisted on fighting.

The long sword in his hand danced so fast that it was impenetrable, and he repelled the approaching monsters one by one.

He was pale and breathing rapidly, but he never retreated.

"Lingfeng, how are you?" Xiao Bei asked with concern.

"It's okay," Ling Feng said through gritted teeth, "I can still hold on."

Companions look out for each other, and their friendship grows stronger in battle.

In this crisis-ridden environment, a hint of warmth is faintly visible.

Suddenly, Xiao Bei's eyes focused, and he felt a powerful breath coming from behind the group of monsters.

He suddenly raised his head and looked into the distance. A tall figure was slowly walking out of the darkness...

"what is that……"

The figure was shrouded in darkness and his face could not be seen clearly, but from the powerful demonic aura emanating from him, Xiao Bei immediately determined that this was the leader of the little monsters.

An unprecedented sense of crisis surged in his heart. He felt his heartbeat suddenly quicken, and his blood flowed through his body like a rushing river.

"Be careful!" he shouted, reminding his companions behind him.

The monster leader let out a deafening roar, and a powerful air wave swept over, blowing away all the surrounding monsters.

It slowly raised a huge claw, the tip of which flashed with a faint green light, as if it could tear everything apart.

Xiao Bei took a deep breath and circulated the immortal power in his body to the extreme.

He felt a powerful force surging from his dantian and flowing throughout his body.

He clenched his fists, lowered his body slightly, and assumed a fighting stance.

"Come on!" he growled, a determined glint in his eyes.

The monster leader let out a sharp scream, and his huge body turned into a black shadow and pounced towards Xiao Bei.

The speed is astonishing.

Xiao Bei did not dare to delay. He flashed and avoided the attack of the monster leader.

Just when the monster leader missed his attack, Xiao Bei seized the opportunity and released all the new power in his body.

His fists burst out with dazzling light, like two scorching suns, and hit the monster leader's chest hard.

With a loud bang, the huge body of the monster leader was knocked away by Xiao Bei's blow, and fell heavily to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.

It struggled to get up, but found that its body could not move.

Xiao Bei slowly walked up to the monster leader and looked down at it from above.

The leaderless little monsters suddenly became chaotic, fled in all directions, and disappeared into the night.

The crisis was resolved, and the surrounding immortals burst into warm cheers.

"Xiao Bei! You are so awesome!"

"Xiao Bei, you are the hero of our immortal race!"

Praises and admiring gazes flooded towards Xiao Bei like a tide, and he became the new hero of the immortal clan.

He looked around and saw Beili and Lingfeng's relieved smiles, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

At this moment, the runes in the sky suddenly flickered, and a dazzling light shot into the distance and disappeared into the night.

Xiao Bei's heart moved, and he chased after him without hesitation.

"Xiao Bei! Where are you going?" Bei Li shouted anxiously.

"I'll go take a look..." Xiao Bei's voice gradually faded away and disappeared into the night.
