Traveling through the world of immortal cultivation: My system is amazing
Chapter 86: Exploring the conspiracy amidst the fog, overcoming obstacles and gaining support
Xiao Bei unfolded the note, which had only a few words on it: "Be careful of Elder Yan, he has something up his sleeve." The handwriting was elegant, with a faint fragrance, and Xiao Bei recognized it as Lin Sanren's handwriting at a glance.
"Oh, this old fox is finally showing his tail." Xiao Bei sneered and crumpled the note into powder.
He had long noticed that something was wrong with Elder Yan, but he didn't expect him to take action so quickly.
In the next few days, Xiao Bei pretended nothing had happened and continued to do what he was doing. However, he secretly became more alert and carefully observed everything around him.
Sure enough, some clues gradually emerged.
He found that his cultivation resources began to decrease inexplicably, for example, there were fewer spirit stones in his storage bag, and the high-level elixirs were missing.
At first he thought he had remembered it wrong, but the series of "mistakes" made him suspect that someone was secretly playing tricks.
What's even more outrageous is that some rumors began to spread in the Immortal Alliance, saying that Xiao Bei's reform ideas were unorthodox and misleading. Some even said that he was a spy of the demon cultivators, whose purpose was to disrupt the order of the Immortal Alliance.
Although these rumors were full of loopholes, they still made some monks who did not know the truth doubt Xiao Bei, and those who originally supported him began to waver.
"Elder Yan, your little tricks are so clumsy!" Xiao Bei cursed in his heart, but remained calm on the surface.
He knew that Elder Yan was testing his bottom line to see how he would respond.
Xiao Bei decided to take advantage of the situation and pretend to be wronged. He complained to everyone he met, saying that he was framed by a villain and that the road to reform was difficult.
This trick really worked. Some sympathetic monks immediately stood up to speak for him and condemned those who spread rumors.
Even Sect Leader Chu began to pay attention to this matter. He sent people to investigate secretly and found that the source of these rumors all pointed to Elder Yan.
Although Sect Leader Chu disliked Elder Yan's conservative style, he couldn't confront him directly because he was a veteran of the Immortal Alliance.
He called Elder Yan to his cave and reminded him indirectly to be careful about his words and actions and not to cause internal strife.
Elder Yan naturally denied it, saying that he had never done such a thing and that someone must have deliberately framed him.
Although Sect Leader Chu had his doubts, he had no solid evidence and could only give up for the time being.
Xiao Bei knew that Elder Yan would not give up and he would definitely use more sinister tricks.
Just then, Beili came over with a letter in his hand and a serious expression.
"Xiao Bei," she said softly, "I received an anonymous letter..." Bei Li paused and handed the letter to Xiao Bei, "You'd better take a look at this." Xiao Bei took the letter, unfolded it, and his face instantly darkened.
There was only one sentence in the letter: "Be careful of the person next to you." After reading the letter, Xiao Bei's face turned pale, but he quickly regained his composure.
"The person next to you? Haha, who else could it be besides you?" He looked at Beili with a smile, a hint of inquiry in his eyes.
Beili curled her lips and opened her eyes wide: "You actually doubted me? I threw my sincerity to the dogs!" She put her hands on her hips angrily, like a kitten with its fur standing on end.
"I worked so hard to help you investigate. This letter is the best evidence, pointing to that old bastard Elder Yan!"
"Investigation?" Xiao Bei raised his eyebrows, showing interest. "Tell me about it."
Beili raised his chin proudly and told the results of his investigation.
It turned out that she learned through special channels that the rumors circulating in the Immortal Alliance recently were originally spread by several trusted disciples of Elder Yan.
Moreover, she also discovered that Elder Yan was secretly in contact with several elders who were dissatisfied with Xiao Bei's reforms, and seemed to be plotting something.
"Good man, this old guy is really still harboring evil intentions!" Xiao Bei couldn't help but swear after listening to Bei Li's report.
He originally only suspected Elder Yan, but now it seems that this old guy really wants to torture him to death!
"Hmph, you dare to bully my Xiao Bei? I'll expose all his secrets!" Bei Li clenched his fists, looking like he was going to fight Elder Yan to the death.
Xiao Bei grabbed her and said, "Don't be impulsive. We need evidence. Let's go meet him now!"
Xiao Bei brought Bei Li and came to Elder Yan's cave in a threatening manner.
"Elder Yan, how are you?" Xiao Bei said sarcastically.
When Elder Yan saw Xiao Bei, a hint of panic flashed in his eyes, but he quickly calmed down.
"Xiao Bei, what do you mean by this? No one comes to see me for no reason. What do you want from me?"
"Stop pretending!" Xiao Bei threw the anonymous letter in front of Elder Yan. "Do you really think I don't know about these little tricks you've been up to?"
Elder Yan picked up the letter and pretended to be surprised: "What is this? Why can't I understand it?"
"I don't understand?" Xiao Bei sneered, "Do you dare to say that this letter was not written by you?"
"That's pure nonsense!" Elder Yan retorted righteously, "You're slandering me! I'm a man of integrity, how could I do such a despicable thing!"
"Okay, since you refuse to admit it, don't blame me for being rude!" A cold light flashed in Xiao Bei's eyes, "Let's wait and see!" He pulled Bei Li up, turned around and left, leaving Elder Yan alone in the cave with a sullen face.
"Xiao Bei, wait for me..." Bei Li caught up with Xiao Bei and whispered, "What are you going to do?"
Xiao Bei stopped and sneered: "Since he doesn't want to drink the toast, don't blame us..." He suddenly lowered his voice and said a few words in Bei Li's ear.
After hearing this, Beili's eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "Good idea! We should teach him a lesson!"
The two smiled at each other, with a cunning glint in their eyes.
Night shrouds the Immortal Alliance, and an undercurrent surges...
"This time, let him know who the real hunter is..."
As night fell, Xiao Bei and Bei Li deliberately wandered along a more secluded path in the Immortal Alliance. The air was filled with a faint spiritual energy, but also harboured a hint of danger.
"Xiao Bei, are you sure that old guy will send someone?" Bei Li asked casually while eating melon seeds.
"Don't worry, this old fox will definitely do something desperate." Xiao Bei sneered, "Just wait and see."
As soon as he finished speaking, several dark shadows rushed out from the darkness and surrounded Xiao Bei and Bei Li.
"Xiao Bei, you're dead!" One of them said viciously, his tone full of murderous intent.
"Hey, isn't this Elder Yan's lackey? He comes quite quickly!" Xiao Bei was not panicked at all, and even made a joke.
"Just a bunch of you rotten fish and shrimps think you can touch me?"
"Stop talking nonsense and prepare to die!" Several black shadows stopped talking and took out their magic weapons to attack Xiao Bei.
At first, these attackers cooperated well with each other and used ruthless moves, which made Xiao Bei a little embarrassed for a while.
"Ouch, it hurts a little!" Xiao Bei shouted exaggeratedly, causing Bei Li to laugh secretly.
"Can you guys be serious? Your acting is too exaggerated!" Beili couldn't help but complain.
"Don't be impatient, this is just the beginning!" Xiao Bei winked at her, signaling her to be patient.
At this moment, the system prompt sounded: "Enemy weakness detected, it is recommended to use the 'Thunderbolt' skill."
"Okay!" Xiao Bei was secretly happy and immediately activated his skills.
He just made seals with his hands, and bolts of lightning fell from the sky, striking the attackers.
"Shit, what's going on!" "My magic weapon!" "My defense!" The attackers suddenly became chaotic, and the original offensive collapsed in an instant.
The monks around saw this scene and exclaimed in surprise.
"Is this... is this Xiao Bei's true strength?" "Too strong!" "It seems we all underestimated him!"
Xiao Bei took advantage of the victory and quickly knocked several attackers to the ground. He grabbed one of them and asked, "Tell me, who sent you here?"
The attacker hesitated and didn't dare to speak.
Xiao Bei sneered and increased the strength in his hands.
"You won't tell me? Then don't blame me for being rude!"
"I'll tell you! I'll tell you! It's Elder Yan! It's Elder Yan who sent us here!" The attacker finally couldn't stand the pressure anymore and shouted loudly.
When the monks around heard this, they were suddenly in an uproar.
"What? Is it really Elder Yan?" "Why would he do this?" "This old man is so insidious!"
Xiao Bei let go of his hand and let the attacker fall to the ground.
"Elder Yan, your conspiracy has been exposed!" he announced loudly. "Now, what else do you want to say?"
In the distance, a figure slowly walked towards them. It was Elder Yan.
"Xiao Bei, you...you..." Elder Yan pointed at Xiao Bei, shaking with anger.
Xiao Bei sneered and approached Elder Yan step by step. "Elder Yan, the game is over."
Sect Leader Chu came over upon hearing the news, his face so gloomy that water could drip out of it.
He glared at Elder Yan fiercely, his tone cold: "Elder Yan, do you have anything else to say?"
Elder Yan's face flushed red, and he hesitated for a long time, but couldn't utter a word.
The exposure of the sneak attack, coupled with the attacker's confession on the spot, left him speechless and made him the target of public criticism.
"Hmph, considering that you have served the Immortal Alliance for many years, I will be lenient with you this time and punish you to stay indoors for three months and reflect on your mistakes!" Sect Leader Chu snorted coldly and walked away.
The monks around were talking about it. "Serves him right! This old guy should have been punished long ago!" "That's right, he just relies on his seniority and hinders reform all day long!" "Now he has lost more than he gained!"
Xiao Bei looked at the dejected Elder Yan and felt secretly happy.
This series of actions not only cleared him of the grievances, but also severely slapped Elder Yan in the face. More importantly, his reform ideas were recognized by more people and he had more and more supporters.
"Xiao Bei, you're awesome!" Lin Sanren appeared out of nowhere, looking at Xiao Bei with admiration, "Your trick of luring the snake out of its hole is simply amazing!"
"Hehe, it's just a trifle, not worth mentioning." Xiao Bei waved his hands modestly, but he was very happy in his heart.
"Xiao Bei, what are you going to do next?" Bei Li leaned close to Xiao Bei's ear and asked softly.
"Of course we should press on and expand our victory!" Xiao Bei's eyes flashed with a gleam. "This old fellow has suffered such a great loss, he will definitely not give up. We must be prepared to face his next wave of attacks!"
Beili nodded in agreement.
As expected by Xiao Bei, during the period when Elder Yan was reflecting on his mistakes, he secretly contacted more elders who opposed the reform and plotted a bigger conspiracy.
"Xiao Bei, this time I will definitely ruin your reputation!" Elder Yan said gritting his teeth, with a vicious gleam in his eyes.
At the same time, Xiao Bei and Bei Li also strengthened their precautions and closely monitored Elder Yan's movements.
"Beili, what do you think this old guy will do next?" Xiao Bei asked while setting up the formation.
"Who knows? Anyway, we can just deal with it as it comes!" Bei Li said nonchalantly, eating melon seeds while watching Xiao Bei busying himself.
Suddenly, Xiao Bei's expression became stern, and he said in a deep voice: "Here they come!"
Beili also immediately became alert, and the melon seeds in his hand fell to the ground. "What's coming?"
Xiao Bei didn't answer, but looked outside the cave, a cold light flashing in his eyes: "Oh, it seems that this old guy is preparing to use his ultimate move..."
