Xiao Bei's voice sounded particularly firm amid the celebration, but it also carried a hint of imperceptible worry.

He patted Beili's back gently to calm her down, but his eyes never left the deep starry sky.

"Beili," he spoke again, his tone firm and low, "I always feel that there is something hidden behind this victory. We can't take it lightly."

A trace of uneasiness flashed through Bei Li's heart, but she still smiled and nodded: "I believe you, Xiao Bei, no matter what lies ahead, I will be by your side."

Xiao Bei smiled slightly and held Bei Li's hand tightly, but the worry in his heart did not dissipate.

He began to visit every corner of the fairy world, looking for any possible clues.

Wherever he went, the immortal people were full of admiration for him and gathered around him to express their gratitude.

But the applause and cheers did not alleviate the doubts in his heart in the slightest.

A day later, Xiao Bei came to Elder Xingchen's residence.

Elder Stardust is a highly respected elder among the immortals, and has unique insights into the history and future of the immortal world.

Xiao Bei hoped to get some clues from him.

"Elder Xingchen," Xiao Bei bowed, his tone serious, "I have an important matter to discuss with you."

Elder Xingchen raised his head from the book, his eyes piercing, "Xiao Bei, why are you so serious?"

"I find that the fairy world seems to be hiding a new crisis. I'm worried that this is not a real victory." Xiao Bei said bluntly.

Elder Xingchen frowned slightly, his tone tinged with disdain: "Xiao Bei, you're being overly concerned. We've just been through a great war. Do you think the Immortal Realm can withstand any more crises?"

Xiao Bei's eyes became more determined: "I am not aimless. I have visited many places these days, and I always feel that something is wrong."

Elder Xingchen shook his head, his tone carrying a hint of majesty: "The peace of the Immortal Realm cannot be destroyed overnight. Your current actions will only cause unnecessary panic."

Xiao Bei took a deep breath, his tone still firm: "Elder, I understand your concerns, but please believe me, I will not speak nonsense without reason. I need to find the truth, so as to ensure the peace of the fairy world."

The surrounding immortal warriors and elders held their breath, and the atmosphere became tense.

Xiao Bei's determination and Elder Stardust's majesty seemed to collide in the air, and no one dared to interrupt easily.

"Xiao Bei..." Elder Xingchen's voice was low and powerful, but it stopped abruptly, as if there were more words left unsaid.

Xiao Bei's gaze remained as firm as before. He turned and left, embarking on a new path, leaving behind a solemn silence.

Xiao Bei bowed deeply to Elder Xingchen and turned to leave.

The hall was completely silent, with only the sound of his steady footsteps echoing, striking at everyone's heart one by one.

Beili chased out, tears streaming down her face.

"Xiao Bei, don't go! It's too dangerous!" She grabbed his sleeve tightly, her fingertips turned white, and her voice choked.

Xiao Bei turned his head and said, "I have to go, Beili. If I don't find out the truth of the matter, I won't be able to sleep or eat." He gently stroked Beili's cheek, his fingertips touching her warm skin, but he couldn't wipe away the sadness between her brows.

The air around seemed to be frozen, so heavy that it was suffocating.

Beili's crying was like a sharp knife, piercing Xiao Bei's heart.

He took a deep breath, gently pried open Beili's fingers, and stepped resolutely into the vast night.

Xiao Bei was flying alone on his sword. The biting cold wind cut his face, but it could not shake his determination at all.

He had only one thought in his mind: to find the truth!

After flying for an unknown amount of time, he felt a strange energy fluctuation. The fluctuation was weak but extremely clear, as if it was calling him.

He followed the wave and finally came to a hidden valley.

The valley is shrouded in clouds and mist, like a fairyland, but with a mysterious atmosphere.

Xiao Bei landed carefully. Under his feet was soft moss, emitting a faint scent of earth.

He looked around and found an ancient ruin deep in the valley. The entrance of the ruin was covered with vines, making it particularly hidden.

When he pushed aside the vines, an ancient and vicissitudes of life breathed in his face, and Xiao Bei's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

He stepped into the ruins and the view suddenly opened up.

The interior of the ruins is huge, with ancient runes carved on the walls, emitting a faint golden light.

In the center of the hall, there is a divine artifact that emits a dazzling light. The light flickers like breathing and is full of vitality.

Xiao Bei was attracted by this powerful force. He slowly walked closer, stretched out his hand, and gently touched the artifact.

A warm current instantly surged through his body, and he felt stronger than ever before, as if the whole world was surrendering to him.

A huge surge of excitement surged in his heart. Light flickered in the ruins, and an atmosphere full of hope spread. However...

"Who dares to trespass into the forbidden area!" A deafening roar broke the tranquility of the ruins.

There was a deafening roar, and the sound waves swept over like a tide, making Xiao Bei's eardrums buzz.

I saw a giant beast covered with black scales slowly walking out from the depths of the ruins.

It looks like a Qilin, but has a pair of scarlet eyes that flash with bloodthirsty light, and its huge nostrils spew out hot breath, as if it wants to burn everything to ashes.

Guardian beast!

Xiao Bei's heart trembled and he clenched the sword in his hand.

The guardian beast let out a deafening roar and launched the first attack.

Its huge body rushed towards Xiao Bei like lightning, and its sharp claws, with a whistling sound that tore through the air, went straight for Xiao Bei's throat.

Xiao Bei dodged the attack with a flash of his body. The sharp claws of the guardian beast left deep scratches on the ground, and gravel flew everywhere.

Xiao Bei swung his sword to counterattack, and the sharp sword energy cut through the air and slashed towards the guardian beast.

However, the guardian beast's scales were extremely hard, and the sword energy only left shallow marks on them.

The battle became more and more intense, and the guardian beast's attacks poured down like a storm. Xiao Bei was exhausted from dealing with it, and scars gradually appeared on his body.

Blood dripped down his arm, staining his clothes red.

He felt his strength draining away and his breathing became rapid.

The deafening sound of fighting echoed in the ruins, and the tense atmosphere was suffocating.

The artifact on the side emitted a soft light, as if quietly watching the battle, waiting for the final result.

At this moment, an anxious voice broke the deadlock of the battle: "Xiao Bei!" Bei Li had arrived at the ruins at some point. Seeing Xiao Bei covered in wounds, she was extremely anxious. Regardless of her own safety, she rushed forward and stood in front of Xiao Bei.

"Beili! Why are you here?!" Xiao Bei was shocked and angry, and pulled her behind him, "It's too dangerous here, let's go!"

"I won't leave! I want to fight with you!" Beili's eyes were firm, tears welling up in his eyes.

Xiao Bei looked at Bei Li with mixed feelings.

He was both moved by Beili's affection and angry at her recklessness.

Just when he was distracted, the guardian beast attacked again...

"Beili, be careful!" Xiao Bei shouted and pushed Beili away, but he himself had to bear the attack of the guardian beast.

He felt a sharp pain in his chest, a mouthful of blood spurted out, his vision went black, and he fell to the ground.

"Xiao Bei!" Bei Li cried heartbreakingly and rushed to Xiao Bei's side. "How are you? Wake up!"

The guardian beast approached step by step, with bloodthirsty light flashing in its scarlet eyes.

It opened its bloody mouth and let out a deafening roar, as if announcing Xiao Bei's death.

"No...don't..." Beili closed her eyes in despair, tears rolling down her face like pearls from a broken string.

"Roar—" The guardian beast let out a deafening roar and pounced towards Beili...

"Stop!" A low and majestic voice sounded in the ruins.

Mo Yuan appeared out of nowhere and stood in front of Bei Li.

He held an ancient long sword in his hand, the sword body emitting a faint blue light, and a powerful pressure instantly enveloped the entire ruins.

The guardian beast was frightened by this pressure and took a few steps back involuntarily.

"Mo Yuan!" Xiao Bei opened his eyes weakly, and when he saw Mo Yuan's figure, a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart.

Mo Yuan didn't say anything, just nodded silently, then turned his gaze to the guardian beast.

The long sword in his hand made a clear sound, and the sword shone brightly. A sharp sword energy rushed straight into the sky, enveloping the guardian beast.

The guardian beast let out a shrill roar, its huge body trembled violently, black scales fell off, and blood splattered.

"Beili, take good care of Xiao Bei, and leave this to me." Mo Yuan's voice was low and firm.

Bei Li nodded with tears in her eyes, helped Xiao Bei up, and anxiously treated his wounds.

The battle between Mo Yuan and the guardian beast was extremely fierce, with sword energy flying everywhere and deafening roars constantly echoing in the ruins.

Mo Yuan's figure was elusive and as fast as lightning. Every attack he made was extremely precise. The guardian beast's defense was like paper under his sword and could withstand no blow.

Seeing that Mo Yuan had the upper hand, Xiao Bei felt a fighting spirit in his heart.

He endured the severe pain in his body, sat down cross-legged, and mobilized the remaining immortal power in his body to repair the damaged meridians.

Beili was guarding him from the side.

As time went on, the guardian beast's strength was gradually depleted, and its attacks became increasingly weaker.

Finally, Mo Yuan seized an opportunity and pierced the guardian beast's heart with a sword.

The guardian beast let out a final wail, and its huge body fell to the ground with a loud bang, stirring up a cloud of dust.

Mo Yuan retracted his sword, walked over to Xiao Bei, and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

Xiao Bei shook his head, stood up, and looked at Mo Yuan gratefully: "Thank you, Mo Yuan."

"You're welcome. Protecting the peace of the fairy world is the responsibility of every member of our fairy clan." Mo Yuan said lightly.

Xiao Bei's eyes fell on the artifact behind the guardian beast. He walked to the artifact, stretched out his hand, and held the artifact in his hand.

A powerful force instantly surged into his body, and he felt stronger than ever before.

Xiao Bei returned to the fairyland with the artifact. When Elder Xingchen saw the artifact, his face changed drastically.

He took the artifact with trembling hands and examined it carefully.

"This... this is..." Elder Stardust's voice trembled, as if he had seen something incredible.

Xiao Bei's expression was serious, he knew that new challenges were coming.

"Elder, we need to be prepared."
