Chapter 230: Breaking the deadlock and gaining support
The night is dark and the wind is cold.
Xiao Bei stood in front of the window, his eyes as sharp as torches, looking through the window at the flickering lights in the distance, thinking about his next plan in his mind.
Just as he was lost in thought, a rapid knock on the door broke the tranquility of the night.
"Master, something happened!" A disciple rushed in in a panic, his face pale and sweat dripping down his forehead.
"What's going on?" Xiao Bei's heart sank. He turned around quickly and walked towards his disciple with firm steps.
"Supporting Force A...they..." The disciple hesitated and didn't dare to continue.
Xiao Bei grabbed his disciple's shoulders, his eyes showing a hint of urgency: "Tell me quickly, what happened!"
The disciple took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice, "Supporting Force A... was attacked..."
Xiao Bei frowned, and the ominous premonition in his heart came true.
He quickly gathered his thoughts, turned around and ordered, "Follow me, we'll go provide support immediately!"
The base supporting Force A was in a mess.
The originally peaceful sect of immortal cultivation had now been replaced by chaos. The ruins were filled with a strong smell of blood, and broken buildings and scattered weapon fragments could be seen everywhere.
When Xiao Bei arrived, some disciples were frantically treating the wounded, while more people were gathered together with nervous expressions.
"Who did it?" Xiao Bei asked directly as soon as he appeared.
The chief disciple's expression froze as he replied respectfully, "Reporting to the Realm Master, they are from the Traditional Power Alliance."
Xiao Bei's eyes turned cold, and anger burned in his heart.
He knew that this was just the beginning and the alliance of traditional forces would never give up.
"Beili, notify all forces supporting us and convene a meeting immediately." Xiao Bei said in a deep voice.
Beili nodded and took quick action.
After a while, Li Yuan, the leader of supporting force A, Zhao Chen, the leader of emerging force B, and representatives of several neutral forces arrived.
"The traditional alliance has begun to win over neutral forces in an attempt to isolate me." Xiao Bei's words were firm and resounding. "We must unite as one, otherwise we will be in a passive position."
The meeting room fell silent for a moment as everyone was thinking about how to respond.
Li Yuan and Zhao Chen looked at each other and nodded in support.
At this time, a representative of a neutral force suddenly spoke up: "Master Xiao, we are willing to join you, but we hope you can give us more guarantees."
Xiao Bei smiled slightly, with a gleam in his eyes: "Don't worry, I will make sure you get the rewards you deserve."
After the meeting, Xiao Bei and Bei Li hurried to their next destination.
They know that this is a race against time and they cannot slack off at any step.
Suddenly, a magnificent sect appeared in front of them, with a group of menacing people standing in front of the sect.
Xiao Bei recognized him at a glance as a member of the traditional forces alliance.
"Xiao Bei, you are nothing but a clown. How dare you challenge our authority? You'd better take care of yourself today!" A cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage said coldly.
Xiao Bei raised his eyebrows slightly and went forward fearlessly: "A clown? Do you think you are qualified to judge me? Today I want to see who is the real clown!"
The auras of both sides collided in an instant, the air around them seemed to solidify, and the tense atmosphere was suffocating.
"Xiao Bei..." At this moment, Bei Li said softly, with a hint of worry in his tone.
Xiao Bei smiled slightly and replied firmly: "Don't worry, we will definitely win."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Bei waved his hand, and the support system started instantly. A powerful spiritual power emanated from him, attracting everyone's attention.
"Today, let us see who is the real master!" Xiao Bei's eyes flashed with unprecedented determination and domineering, and he faced the challenge of the alliance of traditional forces.
In the distance, some forces that were originally watching began to waver when they saw this scene.
Xiao Bei's sharp eyes swept across those hesitant forces, and a feeling of powerlessness surged in his heart.
"Is it...really going to fail?" He secretly clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white.
These fence-sitters used to claim to support reform, but now they immediately become timid when they see the traditional forces alliance coming at them aggressively.
It's really like "a rat with a gun is bullying in its own nest"!
Beili noticed Xiao Bei's low mood, gently held his hand and gave him an encouraging look.
Then, she did something that no one expected.
She actually took the initiative to invite those wavering forces to attend a seminar on innovative ideas!
This wave of operations made Xiao Bei stunned.
"My dear wife, what... is this?" he asked in a voice transmission, his tone full of doubt.
Bei Li smiled mysteriously and replied, "The hermit has his own clever plan."
As soon as the news came out, the entire spiritual world was in an uproar.
"A seminar? What's the use of that?" "What's this girl up to?" "Is she trying to convince them with her words? That's too naive!" Various doubts arose one after another, and even some forces supporting Xiao Bei expressed their lack of understanding.
The traditional alliance of forces was even more mocking, thinking that Beili's move was just a last-ditch effort and meaningless.
However, to everyone's surprise, those wavering forces actually expressed their willingness to participate in the seminar.
Among them, there are naturally some who want to find out the truth, but there are also some forces that are moved by Beili's sincerity and courage.
On the day of the seminar, Bei Li, dressed in a simple white dress, stood on the stage, facing hundreds of representatives from different forces, and slowly spoke...
"My fellow Taoists..." She smiled slightly, her voice clear and pleasant, yet filled with an unquestionable power.
Xiao Bei sat in the audience, watching Bei Li's confident expression, and suddenly a strange premonition welled up in his heart...
This girl is causing trouble again!
"Before we begin..." Bei Li paused, his eyes swept across the audience, and a mysterious arc appeared at the corner of his mouth, "I want to tell you a story first..."
Bei Li walked up to the stage gracefully and cleared his throat, "My fellow Taoists, today we are not going to talk about profound techniques or cultivation, let's talk about... gossip!" There was an uproar in the audience, this scene was not right!
Where is the research and innovation concept?
How did it turn into a melon-eating gathering?
Bei Li smiled faintly and calmly revealed a shocking secret: "Did you know? The leader of the Traditional Power Alliance secretly..." She deliberately lowered her voice and spoke mysteriously, "Raised a pond of koi! He feeds them personally every day and even gives each fish a name!"
Everyone in the audience looked at each other in bewilderment. What kind of black material was this?
Bei Li continued to reveal: "What's even more exciting is that he also tailored exclusive... small clothes for each koi!" As soon as these words came out, the whole audience burst into laughter.
The contrast is too big!
Such a majestic leader actually has such a hobby?
"Ahem," Bei Li saw that the effect had been achieved and changed the subject. "Of course, this is just a joke." She put away her smile and her expression became serious. "What I want to say is that everyone has their own interests and hobbies, and everyone has their own choices. We shouldn't be complacent and stick to the rules."
Afterwards, Beili began to elaborate on the benefits of the innovative concept in detail. His explanation was simple and easy to understand, and everyone nodded frequently.
Some wavering forces began to lean towards Xiao Bei's innovative ideas, thinking that this little girl was quite creative.
Xiao Bei looked at Bei Li who was talking on the stage, his eyes full of admiration. This move was simply awesome!
My dear wife, you are always my god!
Zhao Chen, the leader of Force B, also stood up and gave an impassioned speech, expressing his firm support for Xiao Bei's reform plan and bringing some new ideas to make Xiao Bei's plan more perfect.
The atmosphere at the scene became positive and everyone was full of expectations for Xiao Bei's plan.
At this moment, a discordant voice suddenly rang out: "You talk big, but it's nothing but empty promises!" Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a monk in black standing in the corner with a look of disdain on his face.
Xiao Bei's eyes glared, and he was about to open his mouth to refute, but Bei Li spoke first, "Fellow Daoist, what are your insights?" The black-robed cultivator snorted coldly, "I don't dare to claim your insights. I just think that instead of empty talk here, it's better to prove it with actual actions."
Bei Li smiled slightly: "Daoyou, what you said is absolutely right. How about... let's make a bet?"
"What are you betting on?" The black-robed monk raised his eyebrows.
"Let's bet..." Bei Li paused, a sly look flashing in his eyes, "Let's bet on whether I can convince you!"
Beili and Xiaobei smiled at each other.
After the seminar, Xiao Bei and Bei Li strolled in the garden of the spiritual world.
The setting sun cast a golden afterglow, stretching the figures of the two people out long.
Beili leaned lightly on Xiao Bei's shoulder, and Xiao Bei hugged her gently, and the two of them quietly enjoyed this rare tranquility.
The flowers around them seemed to be blessing them, and the air was filled with a sweet scent.
"My dear wife, you were so great today! You are the eternal goddess!" Xiao Bei couldn't help but praise her, his tone full of pampering.
Beili winked playfully, "Of course, don't you see whose wife she is!"
After this wave of operations, Xiao Bei's reputation value directly reached the maximum. The wise men in the spiritual world even publicly expressed their recognition of Xiao Bei's innovative ideas and gave some very constructive suggestions, which directly raised Xiao Bei's plan to several levels.
Xiao Bei stood in front of everyone, full of vigor and ambition, showing a bit of leadership qualities, which attracted everyone's admiring glances.
The atmosphere on the scene reached a climax, it was so exciting!
However, the story does not end there.
Although Xiao Bei has gained support from more forces, the old stubborn people in the traditional forces alliance still refuse to give up. They have an attitude of "I don't care what you think, I only care what I think", and it is clear that they want to go against Xiao Bei to the end.
Xiao Bei knew clearly that these guys would not give up and might even do something tricky with the issue of resource allocation.
After all, cutting off someone's financial resources is like killing their parents; this is an iron rule in the world of cultivating immortals.
"Beili, I always feel that things are not that simple." There was a hint of worry in Xiao Bei's tone.
"Yeah, I think so too..." Bei Li nodded, a serious look flashing in his eyes. "The traditional alliance will definitely not give up easily. What they might do next..."
At this moment, a disciple hurried over, his face pale, and he said breathlessly: "Master, this is bad! The traditional forces alliance..." He paused and swallowed, "They..."
