Chapter 242: Innovation is hindered, treasure is in danger
The wind howled like the whispers of ghosts.
The jade pendant in Xiao Bei's hand flickered, reflecting his increasingly stern face.
"Oh, I knew these guys couldn't hold back anything good!"
An invisible pressure spread out in all directions like a tide.
The originally warm atmosphere in the cave was instantly replaced by a solemn and murderous aura.
Bei Li noticed the change in Xiao Bei's mood, gently held his hand, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
"Someone wants to cause trouble." Xiao Bei's tone was cold, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
Almost at the same time, Xiao Yu hurried over and reported solemnly, "Brother Xiao Bei, something happened! Treasure Hunter A and Treasure Hunter B have secretly joined forces with some small forces to form an alliance. Their target... is our treasure!"
"It's just as I expected!" Xiao Bei sneered, "I knew that these guys would never give up! Want to steal my treasure? Don't you even consider your own worth?" His eyes became sharp, a sense of crisis spread in his heart, and the air around him seemed to freeze.
The news spread rapidly in the spiritual world as if it had wings.
For a time, all kinds of rumors were flying around and people were in panic.
In the central square of the spirit world, Xiao Bei and the treasure hunting alliance stood face to face. The atmosphere was tense, as if a spark could ignite a war.
"Xiao Bei, hand over the treasure if you know what's good for you!" Treasure Hunter A shouted arrogantly, "Otherwise, you'll suffer the consequences!"
"Bullshit!" Xiao Bei retorted without showing any weakness, "Why should I give you my things? If you want them, come and get them yourself!"
The two sides glared at each other and were about to fight.
Beili and Xiaoyu stood behind Xiao Bei, firmly supporting him, and the atmosphere of confrontation became even stronger.
"Xiao Bei, don't think you're great just because you're a little famous!" Treasure Hunter B said sinisterly, "The strength of our alliance is beyond your imagination!"
Xiao Bei sneered disdainfully, "Really? I want to see what you are capable of!"
The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder and a war was about to break out.
Suddenly, Treasure Hunter A revealed a strange smile...
"Do it!"
At the command of treasure hunter A, the members of the alliance did not take action directly, but took a step back and took a defensive posture, as if Xiao Bei was the one to attack.
Expert A feigned grief and indignation as he shouted, "My fellow Daoists, Xiao Bei has used despicable means to steal the treasure that belongs to us all! Now he's feigning innocence. This is simply too much!"
"What the hell?" Xiao Bei was confused. "When did I steal the treasure? This is pure rumor!"
Expert B immediately took over and made up a lie about how Xiao Bei "stole the treasure" and "sneaked into Chencang" to obtain the treasure, which sounded like the truth.
The monks around who didn't know the truth began to whisper to each other, and looked at Xiao Bei with a bit more suspicion.
"Will this melon stay ripe?"
“It feels a bit outrageous, but it also seems to make sense…”
"Is Xiao Bei really a sixth-in-command?"
Public opinion began to favor the Treasure Hunting Alliance, and Xiao Bei felt under tremendous pressure, as if a mountain was pressing on his chest.
Beili held his hand tightly, supporting him with a firm look in her eyes.
At this moment, an old man with white hair and a youthful face slowly walked out of the crowd.
He was dressed in a simple Taoist robe and had an immortal look. He was indeed a highly respected historian in the spiritual world.
He held a yellowed ancient book in his hand and said in a loud voice, "I am the historian of the spirit world. I have come here today to clarify this matter!"
Everyone suddenly quieted down and their eyes focused on the historian.
The historian flipped open an ancient book, pointed to a passage, and said, "According to the ancient laws of the spirit world, the ownership of this treasure should belong to the first person to remove the restriction! And according to my records, the first person to remove the restriction was... Xiao Bei!"
The whole place was in an uproar!
Treasure hunters A and B's faces turned pale in an instant, and they felt as uncomfortable as if they had eaten a fly.
"This... this is impossible!" Master A stammered, "This ancient book must be fake!"
The historian sneered, "I have guarded the history of the spirit world for thousands of years. How can I allow you to slander it? This ancient book is made from the fur of ancient mythical beasts and contains the power of heaven. It is absolutely impossible to be false!"
The corners of Xiao Bei's mouth rose slightly, revealing a playful smile.
He dusted himself off and said slowly, "You two, do you have anything else to say now?"
Master A and Master B exchanged a glance, a sinister glint flashing in their eyes...
Master A suddenly took something out of his storage bag and held it high above his head.
"In that case, don't blame us for resorting to any means necessary!"
The object in the hands of Master A was a blood-red bead, emitting a heart-pounding evil aura.
"Blood Demon Pearl!?" the historian exclaimed, his face darkening. "You're crazy! If this thing explodes, not a blade of grass will grow within a hundred miles!"
Xiao Bei's heart trembled. This thing didn't sound like a good thing.
The treasure hunting alliance is planning to fight to the death!
He was about to take action when Beili suddenly stood up with an exquisite jade fan in his hand.
"That's it? A small scene." She chuckled and waved her jade fan lightly. A breeze blew by, and the evil aura on the Blood Demon Pearl instantly dissipated into nothingness.
"What?!" Master A's eyes almost popped out of his head. This was their most valuable treasure!
Was it just resolved so easily?
The monks around also exclaimed in surprise, looking at Beili with eyes full of awe.
"With this level of skill, you dare to come out and scam people?" Beili put away the jade fan and looked at the treasure hunting alliance with disdain, "Go home and take a shower and have a sleep!" Xiao Bei looked at Beili's domineering look and felt secretly happy in his heart: My wife is awesome!
Masters A and B's faces turned pale, and they felt as uncomfortable as if they had eaten a dead fly.
They never imagined that this seemingly weak woman actually possessed such powerful strength!
This is so embarrassing!
Xiao Bei seized this opportunity and immediately began to speak: "My fellow Daoists, you all saw it! This Treasure Hunting Alliance, in order to obtain the treasure, did not hesitate to use such evil means! They are simply a group of hypocrites blinded by greed!"
Many monks nodded in agreement. The true face of the Treasure Hunting Alliance was exposed, and their morale plummeted in an instant.
Xiao Bei stood in front of them, like a god descending from heaven, radiating confidence.
The members of the treasure hunting alliance looked extremely embarrassed in front of him, like dogs that had lost their homes.
Xiao Bei used the resources in the treasure to strengthen the defense of his own forces.
The treasure hunting alliance attempted to storm several times, but all ended in failure.
Looking at the enemy's fleeing figure in a panic, Xiao Bei's heart was filled with joy.
He stood on the high city wall, looking down at the miserable treasure hunting alliance below, with a sneer on his face.
"This is just the beginning..." His voice was low and powerful, with a hint of unquestionable dominance.
"Pass the order down," Xiao Bei's eyes flashed with coldness, "prepare for a counterattack!"
At Xiao Bei's command, the horn of counterattack sounded!
He is not the type to passively take a beating. Since the other party wants to play, he will play big!
"Brothers, follow me!" Xiao Bei took the lead, holding a long sword flashing with lightning, and charged into the enemy camp like a god descending from heaven.
He is not just good at talking, when he really starts fighting, he is a tough guy!
Beili was waving her fists excitedly and cheering like a fangirl: "Come on, husband! My husband is the best! My husband is the most handsome in the world!" She was so excited that if you didn't know her, you would think she was the one going to the battlefield.
Xiao Bei's team was like a tiger descending from the mountain, unstoppable.
Treasure hunters A and B originally thought they had victory in their grasp, but they did not expect Xiao Bei's counterattack to be so swift that they were caught off guard in an instant.
"Fuck! This kid is cheating!" Master A looked at Xiao Bei defeating his men as easily as cutting melons and vegetables, and his face turned pale with fright.
"Retreat! Retreat quickly!" Master B no longer cared about his face and just wanted to save his own life.
However, how could Xiao Bei let them escape so easily?
He sneered: "Want to run? Too late!" His sword flashed, and a huge bolt of lightning fell from the sky, directly blocking the retreat of Master A and Master B.
"It's over, Barbie Q is gone!" Masters A and B were so helpless that they could only surrender.
In this battle, Xiao Bei won a great victory and became a hero in the spiritual world.
He stood at the pinnacle of victory, overlooking the entire spiritual world, with a heart full of pride.
"This is just the beginning. My goal is the sea of stars!"
At the celebration banquet, Beili hung on Xiao Bei like a koala, constantly praising him for his abilities.
Xiao Bei felt a little flattered by the praise and thought: It seems I have to show off my skills more in the future so that my wife will admire me.
However, just as everyone was immersed in the joy of victory, Xiao Bei felt something strange.
He frowned and had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Something's wrong..." He muttered to himself, his eyes scanning the surroundings as if looking for something.
Suddenly, his eyes fixed and he looked into the distance. There, a powerful aura was slowly approaching...
"Here it comes..." Xiao Bei said in a low voice, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
