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

Chapter 819: Secret Plot: Xiao Bei's Strategy

Xiao Bei took a deep breath, and the movement of the jade pendant surged like a tide, then retreated silently.

He could feel that behind this breath, there was a huge vortex that was trying to drag him into the endless abyss.

He knew that the old forces would never accept defeat and they must be planning a bigger conspiracy.

He must act quickly!

Xiao Bei decided to start with investigation.

He tried to find clues from the elders' daily movements, but found that they had already destroyed all items that might have left clues.

The air was filled with a faint smell of burning, which was the ashes of secrets.

Those bamboo slips and pieces of letter paper that once recorded the conspiracy have now turned into a pile of unrecognizable dust.

Xiao Bei's brows were furrowed.

He examined the ground carefully, running his fingertips over the charred wood chips.

He even used his spiritual power to try to find any remaining marks in the ashes, but found nothing.

It was as if an invisible big hand wiped everything clean.

An unprecedented feeling of powerlessness enveloped Xiao Bei.

He was once invincible and unstoppable, but now he couldn't find his direction in the fog before him.

This made him anxious, but he had to calm down.

He knew that it was not a wise move to directly break into the old forces.

Once his identity is exposed, he will be surrounded by enemies and will not only be unable to find out the truth, but will also put himself in danger.

However, how can we find out their details if we don’t go deep into the tiger’s den?

Xiao Bei's heart was like a tangled mess, with courage and caution constantly colliding and pulling at each other in his mind.

He longed to strike at the enemy like a tiger, but he had to lie in wait patiently like a cheetah, waiting for his chance to strike.

He clenched his fists tightly, and his knuckles turned slightly white from the force.

Beili looked at the complicated expression on Xiao Bei's face and felt a little worried.

She reached out and gently smoothed his frown.

The warmth from the fingertips dispelled the gloom in Xiao Bei's heart.

"Don't worry, I will face it with you." Bei Li said softly, her voice like a clear mountain spring, flowing into Xiao Bei's heart.

Xiao Bei held Bei Li's hand tightly, with a determined light in his eyes.

He couldn't let Beili worry, and he couldn't let the fairy world fall into crisis again.

He must find a breakthrough as soon as possible and completely crush the hidden conspiracy.

At this moment, Xiao Bei's gaze fell on the jade pendant held tightly in his hand. The jade pendant became slightly hot again. This time, the heat was more intense, as if it was guiding some direction.

He subconsciously looked out the window, and his gaze met a pair of eyes hidden in the darkness.

Those eyes were as cold as a poisonous snake, full of malice, staring at him in the darkness.

"It seems that they can't wait any longer..." Xiao Bei muttered to himself with a hint of coldness in his tone.

Xiao Bei's gaze was like two sharp swords, piercing through the night and locking onto those cold eyes.

In just a moment, those eyes disappeared into the deeper darkness, as if they had never existed.

A strong anger burned in Xiao Bei's chest, almost swallowing him up.

He turned around suddenly and pushed open the window. A strong wind rushed into the room, causing the candle on the table to flicker and illuminating his angular face, which was filled with a hint of anger and depression.

He knew full well that this was no accident. The old forces were already impatient to take action.

"They are staring at us." Xiao Bei's voice was low, with a barely perceptible tremor.

He withdrew his gaze, clenched his hands into fists, and his knuckles made crisp sounds.

"It's not just surveillance, I'm afraid there's a deeper purpose."

Beili looked at his tense profile and felt a chill in her heart.

She could feel Xiao Bei's inner anger and anxiety.

She knew that Xiao Bei was doing this not only for herself, but also for those in the fairy world who trusted and supported him.

Suddenly, a rapid knock on the door broke the silence in the room.

A faint immortal rushed in, his face filled with fear. "Xiao...Xiao Zun...this is bad! The immortal friends you protected earlier...they...they've been captured!"

Xiao Bei's body shook violently, and his heart felt as if it was hit hard by a heavy hammer.

He clearly felt a piercing pain, like an icy sharp blade, cutting his flesh and blood.

His face turned pale in an instant, and his clenched fists gradually loosened, with his fingertips trembling slightly.

He tried hard to suppress the emotions surging in his heart and asked in a hoarse voice, "Why were they...why were they captured?"

"The old forces... they slandered those immortal friends for colluding with the demons and directly imprisoned them in the Heavenly Prison..." The immortal spoke intermittently, with deep fear in his voice.

When Xiao Bei heard this, he felt a surge of anger rushing to his head.

He felt as if he was wrapped in a ball of fire, and anger seemed to be bursting out of his eyes.

He knew that this was just an excuse of the old forces. Their real purpose was to scare him and intimidate those who supported him.

"I...what should I do..." Xiao Bei closed his eyes tightly. He was powerless and could only watch his trusted companion fall into the quagmire.

A deep sense of guilt surged in his heart, as if countless ants were gnawing at his heart.

Beili hugged Xiao Bei with heartache. She understood that at this moment, any words of comfort seemed pale and powerless.

She carefully recalled what she had seen and heard today, and suddenly, she had a flash of inspiration, as if she had grasped something key.

"Xiao Bei, I remember that the immortal officials who were responsible for transporting the immortal herbs today always seemed to avoid the main road and take some remote paths." She said hurriedly, her speech a little fast, but with a hint of excitement.

"They seem to be avoiding something."

Xiao Bei suddenly opened his eyes, and hope rekindled in his eyes. "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure of it! Also, I found that every time they left the main road, they would stop at some specific places. The spiritual energy fluctuations in those places seemed to be somewhat similar to the aura of the elders." Bei Li spoke out his discovery in one breath, with a hint of excitement on his face, as if he had found a treasure.

Xiao Bei's brows relaxed slightly and he held Bei Li's hand tightly. He seemed to see a ray of light that penetrated the fog before his eyes.

He had to act quickly.

"Beili, let's go and take a look." Xiao Bei whispered with a hint of urgency in his tone.

He picked up the sword on the table, and the sword reflected a cold light in the moonlight.

He took Beili's hand and took a step, but stopped and looked out the window.

"They are coming..." Xiao Bei said in a low voice.

The night is as dark as ink, so thick that it seems to be dripping down.

Just as Xiao Bei was about to take action, he felt a strong murderous intent coming from all directions.

The sound of breaking air was sharp and piercing, and several black shadows emerged from the darkness like ghosts, holding sharp blades and rushing towards Xiao Bei.

The blades cut through the air, making a teeth-grinding friction sound, and the cold light reflected their ferocious faces.

These fighters are agile and have strong spiritual power fluctuations. They are obviously elites carefully trained by the old forces.

Xiao Bei's eyes flashed, and he quickly drew out his sword. The sword emitted a clear dragon roar, and a shining silver light cut through the darkness.

His body was as fast as lightning, twisting and turning in the small room, dodging the fierce attacks.

The sword light danced, the chill was overwhelming, and it collided with the thugs' sharp blades, making a sharp clanging sound.

The wind howled, blowing up the dust on the ground. The candlelight swayed violently, the light and shadow were blurred, and the air in the room suddenly became tense and oppressive.

The thugs attacked fiercely and coordinated well, and wherever their blades pointed, they targeted Xiao Bei's vital points.

Every collision seemed to shatter Xiao Bei's bones, causing his arms to feel numb and sore.

But Xiao Bei did not retreat at all. He gritted his teeth, circulated his spiritual power, and made his sword moves more fierce.

The sword energy spread out in all directions, transforming into silver streaks that collided with the thugs' attacks, sparking bursts of sparks.

The entire room was shaking in the fierce battle. The tables, chairs and benches had long been reduced to dust, and cracks appeared on the walls, as if they were about to collapse at any time.

The windows had already been shattered, and the strong wind rushed in, blowing broken wood chips all over the sky.

The aftermath of the battle shook the entire yard like an earthquake.

Beili watched anxiously from the side, her heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand.

She clenched her hands into fists, her nails digging deep into her palms, but she felt no pain at all.

She looked at Xiao Bei nervously

She must not become a burden to him, she could only pray for him silently and cheer him on.

Xiao Bei caught a glimpse of Bei Li's worried look out of the corner of his eye, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

He seemed to feel an invisible force injected into his body, his hand holding the sword became more firm and his sword moves became more fierce.

He roared angrily, and the sword energy burst out like a rainbow, forcing the surrounding thugs back several steps.

He no longer passively defended himself, but took the initiative to attack, with the tip of his sword pointed directly at the enemy's vital points. His attack was like a storm, catching the thugs off guard.

He clearly realized that these thugs were just appetizers, and the old forces' real killer moves were still to come.

He must act quickly so that he has time to investigate the truth and rescue those immortal friends who have been framed.

"Bang!" A thug was knocked away by Xiao Bei's sword and hit the wall heavily, making a muffled sound, and blood slowly seeped out from the wall.

The remaining thugs saw their companions in such a miserable state,

Xiao Bei's eyes were as cold as ice. He stared at the enemy in front of him, a cold arc appeared at the corner of his mouth, and the long sword in his hand made a crisp sound.

A strong murderous intent rose in his heart

"You...all must die!" Xiao Bei's voice was as cold as if it came from the Netherworld.

The sword light was like snow, drawing deadly arcs in the dim room.

A cold light flashed, blood splattered, and screams rang out one after another.

Xiao Bei was like the god of death, reaping lives one after another.

The sword in his hand seemed to have life. Every time he swung it, it was filled with murderous intent and accurately pierced the enemy's vital points.

The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, which was nauseating.

On the floor, the bodies of the thugs were lying all over the place, and the blood had stained the ground red, creating a scene like hell.

Xiao Bei stood in the middle of the pile of corpses, his clothes stained with blood, like a god of death.

His breathing was a little rapid, and his chest was heaving violently, but his eyes were unusually calm, as if nothing that had just happened had happened.

He leaned over and grabbed a thug who was still breathing. Spiritual power surged from his fingertips, sealing his acupuncture points and preventing him from committing suicide.

"Tell me! Who is the mastermind behind your actions? What is their purpose?"

The thug Xiao Bei's eyes turned cold, and the spiritual power in his hands intensified. The piercing pain made the thug let out a shrill scream.

"I'll tell you! I'll tell you! It's... it's the Great Elder! They... they want..." The thug spoke intermittently, his voice was weak, but it was loud enough for Xiao Bei to hear clearly.

"What do you want?!" Xiao Bei asked sternly.

"They... they want to... open... the seal..." The thug's voice became weaker and weaker, and finally disappeared completely.

"Seal?" Xiao Bei frowned, an ominous premonition rising in his heart.

He remembered that the elders had been entering and leaving the forbidden area frequently recently. Could it be that they really intended to open the seal?

What is hidden under that seal?

Based on the intermittent descriptions of the thugs and the recent movements of the elders, Xiao Bei deduced the key link in the conspiracy of the old forces - an ancient altar located deep in the forbidden area of ​​the fairyland.

It is said that the altar is the passage connecting the human world and the demon world. Once the seal is opened, the demon army will invade the fairy world and cause great suffering to all living beings.

Thinking of this, Xiao Bei couldn't help but take a breath. He had to stop all this from happening!

The night grew darker and the cold wind howled like ghosts and wolves.

Xiao Bei stood in front of the window, looking at the forbidden area in the distance with a firm look in his eyes.

He knew it was full of danger, but he had no choice.

He turned and looked at Beili, "Wait for me to come back."

After saying that, he jumped up and disappeared into the night.

Bei Li looked at the direction where Xiao Bei left, and her heart was filled with worry.

The forbidden area in the distance was shrouded in darkness and was eerie and terrifying, like the bloody mouth of a giant beast, waiting for its prey to arrive.

That was Xiao Bei's destination, and also the beginning of the great danger he was about to face...

"I hope..." Bei Li murmured softly, tightly clutching the jade pendant left by Xiao Bei, "He can return safely..."
