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

Chapter 496: Entering the Dangerous Passage: Xiao Bei Explores the Causes

Xiao Bei frowned and came to the entrance of the immortal-demon cross-border passage. There was a strange light flashing in the passage, as if an invisible crisis was brewing.

His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, as if he wanted to penetrate the strange light and see the truth behind it.

The air was filled with tension and mystery, which made him clench his fists. His firm expression showed his determination to face the challenge.

"Xiao Bei, be careful, this place is not simple." Bei Li's voice sounded in his ears, still as lively as usual, but there was a hint of worry in his tone.

She held Xiao Bei's sleeve tightly, as if afraid that he would disappear in the light if he was not careful.

"I'll be careful." Xiao Bei responded softly, looking into the passage with a determined look.

However, at this moment, a loud voice sounded behind them, breaking the brief silence.

"Stop! Who are you? Why are you getting so close to the cross-border passage between immortals and demons?!" The guardian at the entrance of the passage, a powerful immortal in the middle stage, stood in front of them.

His eyes were as sharp as a knife, staring at Xiao Bei closely, as if examining a potential threat.

Xiao Bei didn't expect that the guardian of the passage would be so vigilant and even regard him as a suspect of destroying the passage.

He felt very surprised and helpless, with anger and confusion intertwined in his heart.

But he quickly adjusted his emotions and tried to remain calm.

"I am Xiao Bei, an investigator from the fairy world. I am here to investigate the cause of the abnormal fluctuations in the channel." Xiao Bei said in a deep voice, with an unquestionable firmness in his tone.

"Investigator?" The Guardian sneered.

Seeing this, Bei Li couldn't help but step forward and wanted to defend Xiao Bei, but Xiao Bei gently stopped her and signaled her not to be impulsive.

He realized that he had to stay rational at this time, otherwise things might become more complicated.

"I understand your concerns, but I'm here to investigate." Xiao Bei took a deep breath and continued, "If it was really me or my companions who destroyed the passage, then we would have no reason to be here. I hope you understand that we need to find out the truth as soon as possible to prevent the situation from getting worse."

The guardian looked at Xiao Bei coldly, as if weighing whether his words were credible.

The oppressive feeling in the air grew stronger, as if a fierce conflict might break out at any moment.

Just as the atmosphere was about to reach its climax, Xiao Bei suddenly felt an ominous premonition, as if something bad was about to happen.

His eyes narrowed and he quickly took a step back, while pulling Beili.

"Be careful!" Xiao Bei's voice echoed at the entrance of the passage, like an alarm bell, breaking all the silence.

However, before he could finish his words, a powerful force surged out from the passage, sucking the guardian, Xiao Bei and others into it, and everything became chaotic in an instant.

The passage was filled with bizarre and distorted colors, like an overturned paint bucket, splashing freely in the air.

A disgusting stench filled the air, like a hundred thousand smelly socks piled together and fermented for ten years.

Xiao Bei held his breath and cursed in his heart: "What a damn place! It stinks even worse than my university dormitory!"

Suddenly, there was a strange vibration under my feet, and a crack appeared in the ground. The deep darkness was like a giant beast that was ready to devour people and swallow everything at any time.

Xiao Bei was quick-witted and quick-handed. He grabbed Bei Li and did a backflip, barely avoiding the fatal blow.

"Oh my god, are you serious? If this falls down, I'll become a meat patty!" he complained.

Seeing this, the traitor from the Immortal Realm who was hiding in the dark gnashed his teeth and said, "How can this kid be so lucky?!" The trap he had originally designed was enough to seriously injure a powerful Immortal Lord in the early stage, but he didn't expect it to be resolved so easily by Xiao Bei.

The demon traitor next to him also echoed: "This is really weird, could this kid have X-ray vision?"

Of course Xiao Bei doesn’t have X-ray vision, but he has a system!

The system issued a timely warning: "High-energy warning ahead! High-energy warning ahead! It is recommended that the host take a detour!" Xiao Bei silently thanked the system father in his heart, and then raised his middle finger towards the depths of the passage. Although no one could see it, he just wanted to express his disdain.

"System, are there any other traps?" Xiao Bei asked in his heart.

"Five hundred meters ahead, there is a gravity formation. I suggest the host use the 'Light Body Talisman'."

Xiao Bei used the light body talisman without hesitation and felt his body as light as a feather.

A confident smile appeared on his lips: "You are such a shrewd person, and you dare to show off your skills in front of an expert!"

The traitors in the dark had wonderful expressions on their faces when they saw Xiao Bei easily avoid the trap.

The Immortal World traitor's face turned pale: "This is impossible! How could he know the location of the trap?" The Demon World traitor was even more stunned: "Could it be...he really is the Chosen One?"

"You little brats, you're too young to fight with me!" Xiao Bei felt secretly happy and continued to move forward.

Suddenly, he stopped, stared straight ahead, and whispered, "Come out! Stop hiding."

Bei Li followed Xiao Bei closely, her beautiful eyes flashing with admiration, as if he was the only hero in her heart.

"Xiao Bei, you are so awesome! You are just like a max-level boss in the game!" She gently pulled the corner of Xiao Bei's clothes, like a kitten relying on its owner.

Xiao Bei felt the warmth from her fingertips, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

In this dangerous passage, trust and dependence are particularly precious, and an ambiguous atmosphere quietly grows in the danger.

"Haha, it's no big deal." Xiao Bei said modestly, but a confident smile appeared on his face.

Suddenly, several minions rushed out from both sides of the passage, holding rusty scraps of copper and iron in their hands, and rushed towards Xiao Bei aggressively.

"Hey! Where did you come from, kid? How dare you trespass here? If you know what's good for you, surrender now!" A small minion shouted, spitting all over Xiao Bei's face.

"You bunch of noobs want to stop me?" Xiao Bei curled his lips in disdain, and his figure flashed, moving among the minions like a ghost.

He used both fists and feet, and each move was fatal. Each blow was accompanied by the crisp sound of breaking bones.

The minions were beaten so hard that they cried for their parents and ran away in panic. The scene was very chaotic for a while.

The walls of the passage were shaking, gravel was falling, and the air was filled with dust and the smell of blood.

The guardian of the passage stood aside, watching all this coldly, with no expression on his face.

He seemed a little surprised by Xiao Bei's strength, but had no intention of intervening.

"Xiao Bei, be careful!" Bei Li suddenly exclaimed.

Xiao Bei turned around suddenly and saw a burly minion holding up a huge mace and smashing it towards him.

Xiao Bei quickly dodged to the side, and the mace slammed heavily to the ground with a deafening sound, and a huge hole appeared on the ground instantly.

"Oh my god, if this hits, I will have to go back to the city and revive directly!" Xiao Bei was secretly glad in his heart, and his eyes became sharp at the same time.

He no longer held back and used all his strength to knock down these minions one by one.

The dust settled and the passage returned to calm, leaving only the groans of the minions and Xiao Bei's heavy breathing.

He dusted himself off, walked up to the Guardian, and said calmly, "Now, can I move on?"

The guardian looked at Xiao Bei deeply and said slowly: "Okay, but..."

"But what?" Xiao Bei asked.

Before the guardian could speak, a cold voice came from deep within the passage: "Master Passage Guardian, this person is the culprit who destroyed the passage!"

Before Xiao Bei could retort the Guardian, the Immortal World traitor approached with a fawning smile, pointed at Xiao Bei and shouted indignantly: "Master Guardian, it's him! I saw with my own eyes that he was colluding with the Demon World traitors, destroying the passage, and trying to trigger a war between immortals and demons!" The Demon World traitor immediately followed, pretending to be heartbroken: "That's right! Master Guardian, this man is insidious and cunning, full of tricks, you must not be fooled by him!"

"You two acting geeks! Do you want me to give you an Oscar?" Xiao Bei was almost laughing at the shameless behavior of these two guys. With such ability to confuse right and wrong, it would be a waste of their talent if they didn't go into acting.

The guardian looked at Xiao Bei. He was already wary of Xiao Bei, and now after hearing the traitor's accusations, he was even more certain that Xiao Bei was the culprit who destroyed the passage.

"You are so good, Xiao Bei, you actually dared to destroy the passage between immortals and demons. Your crime is unforgivable!" The guardian roared, and a powerful pressure instantly enveloped Xiao Bei.

Xiao Bei felt like he was being pressed down by a mountain, and breathing became difficult.

"Oh my god! This old guy is serious!" He gritted his teeth and held up his body to prevent himself from falling down.

"You two despicable villains are slandering me! I have never done such a thing!" He retorted angrily, but his voice was suppressed by the guardian's pressure and seemed weak and powerless.

The traitors from the Immortal Realm and the Demon Realm looked at each other. They had planned to frame Xiao Bei a long time ago. Now seeing that he had no way to defend himself, they felt extremely proud.

"Master Guardian, there is no need to waste time talking to him. Just capture him and torture him severely to see if he confesses!" The traitor in the fairy world fanned the flames and wished to put Xiao Bei to death immediately.

The guardian was about to take action when suddenly, Xiao Bei felt something strange. He turned around suddenly and found that Bei Li was gone!

"Beili?!" Xiao Bei's face changed drastically, and a strong sense of uneasiness surged in his heart.

"Beili! Where are you?" His voice echoed in the empty passage, but received no response.

"Not good!" Xiao Bei cried out in his heart, a chill rushing from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

He realized that something must have happened to Beili!

"Xiao Bei! What are you waiting for? Surrender!" The guardian became furious when he saw that Xiao Bei ignored his order, and an even more powerful pressure attacked Xiao Bei.

However, Xiao Bei seemed not to hear his words. His eyes quickly scanned the passage, anxiously looking for Bei Li's figure.

His fists were clenched tightly, his nails dug deep into the flesh, and blood flowed down between his fingers.

"Beili...you must not be in any trouble..."
