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

Chapter 851: Immortal Banquet Hidden Shadow: Xiao Bei’s Warning Signs

Fairy music is floating, colorful ribbons are dancing, and the fairy banquet is at its climax.

Xiao Bei had a smile on his face as he clinked glasses with the immortals who came to toast him one by one, but his eyes were as sharp as an eagle as he scanned the surroundings.

The lingering strange feeling was like a tiny thorn piercing his heart, preventing him from truly immersing himself in the joy.

He picked up the wine glass and took a sip seemingly casually, but in fact he quietly released his spiritual sense, trying to capture the discordant fluctuations in the air.

The bustling crowds, the laughter and the excitement, everything seems so peaceful and beautiful.

But the more this happened, the more uneasy Xiao Bei felt.

The intuition of the Eternal Lord told him that beneath the calm, undercurrents were surging.

"Elder Lingfeng." Xiao Bei put down his wine glass and walked towards an old man with white hair and beard.

Elder Lingfeng is a highly respected elder in the fairy world. He is fair and steady in his dealings and is a trustworthy person.

"The Lord is in a good mood today." Elder Lingfeng stroked his beard and said with a smile.

Xiao Bei shook his head slightly and lowered his voice, "Elder, I just noticed something strange, as if someone was watching us from behind."

Elder Lingfeng heard that today was a celebration and immortals from all over the world had gathered together, and they were on high alert. He thought you must have seen it wrong.

"

"Maybe." Xiao Bei did not refute, but said in a firm tone, "But it is better to be safe than sorry. I hope the elders can keep an eye on it secretly."

Elder Lingfeng saw Xiao Bei's serious expression and knew he wasn't aimless, so he nodded and said, "Master, don't worry, I will pay attention to it. However, please don't let this matter ruin your mood."

Xiao Bei bowed and thanked him, then looked around and found a familiar figure walking towards him. It was Fairy Xinglan.

She walked towards me with a glass of fine wine in her hand and an admiring smile on her face.

"Master, I offer a toast to you." Fairy Xinglan's voice was clear and sweet, as beautiful as an oriole.

Xiao Bei smiled slightly, raised his glass to clink with hers, and drank it all in one gulp.

Fairy Xinglan is a rising star in the fairy world. She is gifted and admires Xiao Bei very much. Xiao Bei also respects her very much.

"You're welcome, Fairy Xinglan." Xiao Bei said gently.

Fairy Xinglan's cheeks flushed slightly, and she seemed to have mustered up her courage as she softly asked, "Master, you seem a little worried today. What happened?"

Xiao Bei looked at Fairy Xinglan deeply, but did not answer. Instead, he said meaningfully, "This fairy banquet is really lively and exciting..."

Bei Li noticed from afar the lingering solemnity between Xiao Bei's brows.

She walked lightly through the crowd, came to Xiao Bei, gently took his arm, and said in a soft voice: "Abei, what are you thinking about? You have been absent-minded since just now."

Xiao Bei felt the soft touch on his arm and felt a little relieved. He gently patted the back of Bei Li's hand and said softly, "Nothing, I just think this fairy banquet is a little too lively."

Bei Li pouted her red lips and said dissatisfiedly: "Hmph, you are just perfunctory. Are you hiding something from me?" She raised her head, staring at Xiao Bei with her big watery eyes, as if trying to see through his thoughts.

The noisy clamor around him seemed to become suppressed as Xiao Bei became more worried.

Xiao Bei's eyes flickered. Not wanting to make her worry, he just smiled and shook his head: "It's really nothing. Don't think too much."

Seeing him like this, Bei Li felt even more uneasy, but she also knew Xiao Bei's temper. No one could pry open his mouth about things he didn't want to say.

She could only sigh secretly and hide her worries in her heart.

Xiao Bei comforted Bei Li with a few words, then left the crowd on the pretext of feeling unwell and walked towards the edge of the fairy banquet alone.

He seemed to be wandering aimlessly, but in fact his spiritual awareness had already spread out, carefully searching for the source of that strange feeling.

After passing through a rockery, Xiao Bei came to a remote corner.

This place is located in the shade and few people come here. There are only a few unknown flowers and plants emitting faint light.

The air was filled with a faint scent of earth and a barely perceptible smell of decay.

Xiao Bei's footsteps suddenly stopped. He raised his head abruptly, his eyes as sharp as torches, staring at a huge rock in front of him.

In the crevice of the rock, he felt a very subtle fluctuation of demonic energy.

"Shadow Demon?" Xiao Bei's Shadow Demon is the race that is best at hiding and assassinating in the demon world. Their whereabouts are secretive and extremely difficult to capture.

How could they appear in the fairyland?

He approached the rock cautiously, held his breath, and slowly probed his spiritual sense into the cracks in the rock.

A dilapidated mural came into view, depicting some vague scenes, which seemed to be some kind of ancient sacrificial ritual.

In a corner of the mural, there was a special symbol of the Shadow Demon Clan engraved.

Xiao Bei's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and a sense of excitement arose spontaneously.

He finally found the clue. This fairy banquet was indeed hiding an unspeakable secret.

"It seems that this Immortal Banquet is more interesting than I imagined..."

At this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded behind Xiao Bei.

"Eternal Lord, your vigilance is truly well-deserved."

Before he could finish his words, a black shadow emerged from behind the rock like a ghost, at a speed so fast that it was astonishing.

The black shadow held a dagger with a faint blue light in his hand and aimed it at Xiao Bei's back.

The air was filled with a disgusting fishy smell, a highly poisonous smell.

Xiao Bei felt a chill down his spine, and his instinct from years of fighting made him react instantly.

He pointed his toes and moved sideways several feet like a ghost, narrowly avoiding the fatal blow.

Even so, the strong wind created by the dagger still cut his sleeve, leaving a shallow blood mark.

"The Shadow Demon Clan, it's you!" Xiao Bei's eyes flashed, and his aura suddenly burst out, like a sword drawn from its sheath, revealing its sharpness.

The pressure of the Immortal Venerable Realm instantly enveloped the area, and the surrounding flowers, plants and trees seemed to be frightened by this powerful force and trembled.

"Hmph, you're lucky you hid quickly." The black shadow snorted coldly, and his figure disappeared into the darkness again, floating like a ghost, making it difficult to grasp.

Xiao Bei did not dare to be careless. He concentrated his mind highly, trying to capture the trace of the black shadow.

However, the Shadow Demons are best at concealment and assassination. Their movements are strange and unpredictable, almost blending into the darkness.

Just when Xiao Bei was on full alert, the black shadow attacked again.

This time, he chose to launch a raid from underground.

Suddenly, a crack appeared in the ground, and a dagger dipped in poison emerged from the ground like a poisonous snake and pierced Xiao Bei's ankle.

Xiao Bei was prepared and jumped up to avoid the insidious attack.

However, the dagger was chasing after him like a maggot on the tarsal bone, and its speed was so fast that it was impossible to defend against it.

"what!"

"There are assassins!"

The immortals around finally reacted and panicked, screaming and shouting. The originally peaceful and joyful immortal banquet turned into chaos in an instant.

At this critical moment, a fiery red figure rushed over like lightning and pushed Xiao Bei away.

"Abei, be careful!"

It's Beili! She

Xiao Bei felt warm in his heart, and an indescribable feeling of emotion surged in his heart.

He pulled Beili into his arms and said softly, "Li'er, are you okay?"

Beili shook her head and hugged Xiao Bei tightly, fearing that he would be hurt.

"Abei, you must be careful!"

Feeling Beili's warmth, Xiao Bei's fighting spirit became even stronger.

He patted Beili's back gently and said softly, "Don't worry, I'll be fine."

"Hehehe...what a touching love story! But soon, you'll become a pair of desperate mandarin ducks!"

The black shadow appeared again. He stood on a tree not far away, looking down at Xiao Bei and Bei Li with a ferocious smile on his face.

Xiao Bei's eyes narrowed. He had gradually figured out Ying Mei's attack pattern. It was time...

"Abei, that person doesn't seem to have spiritual power from the fairy world..." Beili suddenly said softly.

Xiao Bei's eyes narrowed, and a cold arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He had figured out Shadow Phantom's attack pattern—his treacherous movements combined with his poisoned dagger, meant to catch the enemy by surprise and kill with one strike.

However, in the face of absolute power, all conspiracies and tricks will be exposed.

"Li'er, step back." Xiao Bei said softly, with unquestionable firmness in his tone.

He protected Beili behind him, and the immortal power around him gushed out like a volcano. The golden light instantly dispelled the surrounding shadows and illuminated the area as bright as day.

Xiao Bei's figure was like a descending god of war, majestic and inviolable.

"Looking for death!" Xiao Bei shouted loudly, his feet moved like wind, and he turned into a golden lightning and rushed towards Ying Mei.

His speed was so fast that it even exceeded the limitations of space. In the blink of an eye, he was approaching Shadow Phantom.

Ying Mei's face changed drastically. He never expected that Xiao Bei would be so powerful. It was completely beyond his expectations.

He frantically urged the evil energy in his body, trying to hide in the darkness again.

However, Xiao Bei had already locked onto his breath, and no matter how he struggled, he could not escape Xiao Bei's control.

Xiao Bei threw a punch, the wind from his fist was whistling, and the air seemed to be torn apart.

This punch contained Xiao Bei's terrifying power, enough to split mountains and rocks, and destroy the world.

Ying Mei was unable to resist at all and could only watch the golden fist continue to grow bigger in his eyes.

"Puff!" A mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, and his body flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, and hit heavily on a towering ancient tree.

The ancient tree collapsed in an instant and turned into dust.

"No match for Ying Mei!" Xiao Bei sneered, taking advantage of the situation and rushing towards her again.

He was like a tiger descending from the mountain, unstoppable. Each of his punches carried the power to destroy the world, leaving Ying Mei with no chance to fight back.

Ying Mei was retreating step by step, his black robe had already been stained red with blood, and he looked extremely miserable.

He was filled with fear and despair

"Eternal Master, you will never succeed!" Ying Mei let out a desperate roar. He suddenly urged the demonic energy in his body, and his body began to swell violently.

"Oh no, he's going to self-destruct!" Elder Lingfeng exclaimed, his face turning pale in an instant.

The self-explosion of a powerful immortal master is powerful enough to destroy the entire immortal banquet and even affect the surrounding immortal realms.

Xiao Bei's face changed. He never expected that Ying Mei would be so decisive.

He immediately hugged Beili tightly in his arms, and at the same time mobilized all the immortal power in his body to set up an indestructible defensive barrier around him.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, Yingmei's body exploded, and the terrifying energy instantly swallowed up everything around it.

Space was distorted, time stood still, and the whole world seemed to be plunged into chaos.

Xiao Bei tried his best to maintain the defensive barrier, the golden light on his body kept flashing, resisting the violent energy impact.

A trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth and his face turned pale.

After an unknown amount of time, the explosion finally subsided.

Everything around was reduced to ruins and devastated.

Only Xiao Bei and Bei Li were still standing there safely.

Xiao Bei slowly lowered his arms. The power of the explosion seemed to be smaller than he expected.

Moreover, there seemed to be a trace of strange aura lingering in the center of the explosion.

"Abei, are you okay?" Beili asked worriedly.

Xiao Bei shook his head and said softly, "I'm fine. But things don't seem that simple..."

He walked to the center of the explosion, squatted down, and carefully examined the wreckage on the ground.

Suddenly, he found a broken jade pendant with an extremely obscure symbol engraved on it.

It was not a symbol from the demonic world, nor a symbol from the immortal world, but an ancient script that he had never seen before.

Xiao Bei's expression turned serious.

He picked up the jade pendant and examined it carefully. "It seems that there is a bigger conspiracy behind this..."
