When system cheat becomes rampant!-Chapter 1266 - 822: The Person Never Met (Part 2)

Buzz!

The gigantic desolate beast, assembled from breath soil, was struck by the fist, suddenly freezing in place, leaving all the desolate beasts unable to move, and then—

Boom!

A deafening sound of explosion!

Every part of the giant combination desolate beast, every corner, every arm, wing, and sharp horn... exploded entirely, turning into a sky full of breath soil dust and broken limbs.

And this time, this gigantic desolate beast could no longer reassemble!

Thud, thud, thud!

Shang Tianxiong staggered back tens of meters before he regained his footing, then looked ahead with a gaze filled with shock and anger.

A thin silhouette stood in mid-air!

This figure appeared frail, yet the aura he exuded was like an insurmountable mountain, shielding all risks behind him.

Shang Tianxiong’s body suddenly tensed!

Luo Yunxian!

He was still alive!

"What? Surprised?"

Elder Luo retracted his fist, his expression cold.

At this moment, there wasn’t a trace of the previous exhaustion on him, clearly composed and at ease, and the power within him remained deep and terrifying, as if capable of shattering everything with one punch!

"Old Luo!"

Sun Heshun looked at the figure standing in front of him, stunned again, then exclaimed in surprise!

Yin Nianqing and Qian Qingbo, upon seeing Elder Luo unharmed, also breathed a sigh of relief in unison!

Professor Guo’s eyes flickered for a moment, he said nothing, but his expression also relaxed considerably.

Yet inside, they were still very shaken!

Because just now, that huge breath soil combination desolate beast was extremely powerful, and the three of them couldn’t completely destroy it. But unexpectedly, Elder Luo brought it down with just one punch?

Then why run earlier?

Was it intentional?

"How could you have survived? I clearly destroyed your spirit. Could it be spiritual power? No! Definitely not spiritual power! I calculated your spiritual power!"

Shang Tianxiong couldn’t help but be shocked inside, knowing that Luo Yunxian had very powerful spiritual power and attack capabilities, so he considered everything, even when capturing Luo Yunxian, specifically verifying the opponent’s spirit, 100% sure that he attacked his spirit.

Spiritual power can disguise anything, but not a spirit, because a spirit is a very special existence, the fundamental of all races. To distinguish whether it is a spiritual illusion or a real person, one only needs to rely on the spirit to determine.

As an Ancestral Dao Realm Shang Tianxiong, he should not have been fooled!

What Shang Tianxiong couldn’t understand was why, after he confirmed killing Luo Yunxian’s spirit, the opponent was still alive?

Elder Luo slowly lifted his eyelids and said, "You can calculate my spiritual power, but don’t you think I can calculate that you’ve calculated?"

He snorted lightly.

Yet in Elder Luo’s mind appeared that careless, foolish disciple of his.

To protect his master, that foolish boy didn’t just send Qian Qingbo back to warn him, he also painstakingly left him with many contingency plans.

Xiang Beifei wasn’t sure who the spy was, but he knew that Elder Luo couldn’t rely on spiritual power alone to fool the Dao Palace spy. After all, the opponent was an Ancestral Dao Realm master, with sharp vision. His spiritual power couldn’t fool them, and Elder Luo would be caught off guard.

So he specially created something called the "Spirit Substitute," crafted by extracting a spirit from a Dao Palace elder!

Attaching this spirit to Yin-Yang source energy, disguising it as Elder Luo.

Yin-Yang source energy is very strong, able to disguise any aura, can be used as a substitute at crucial moments, to draw out the spy!

In other words, the person killed by Shang Tianxiong just now was an unfortunate one from Dao Palace!

The real Elder Luo had always been hidden in the shadows, controlling this substitute.

No matter how shrewd Shang Tianxiong was, no matter his experience and perception reaching Ancestral Dao Realm levels, he couldn’t see through the disguise of Yin-Yang source energy!

Shang Tianxiong did indeed rip apart the opponent’s spirit when he attacked, and he repeatedly confirmed it was a spirit before daring to make a move, ensuring it all goes perfectly.

But whether that spirit was Elder Luo’s or not is another matter entirely.

Shang Tianxiong said gloomily, "So, you suspected me all along?"

"If I had to pinpoint a spy, besides you, I can’t think of anyone else!" Elder Luo said.

"Where did you start suspecting me?"

Shang Tianxiong didn’t understand where he had slipped up. He had been lurking in Jiuzhou for so many years, handling everything flawlessly. Even before finding out who Wufeng was, he chose to stand on Jiuzhou’s side, helping to resist various beast tides.

He really couldn’t figure out his flaw.

Elder Luo raised an eyebrow.

In fact, when Xiang Beifei informed him about the Dao Palace sending spies, he began contemplating who was most likely to be that spy.

This wasn’t an easy task, because the information Xiang Beifei had gathered was too vague, and as his trusted people, the range was still wide.

Initially, he suspected Professor Guo and Sun Heshun, even Yin Nianqing, but when he discovered that everyone was seriously injured, and both Old Guo and Old Sun escaped unharmed from the hands of desolate beasts, he understood that these two close friends of his were definitely not the spies!

It was merely a deliberate confusion tactic from the opponent, wanting him to suspect these two.

Shang Tianxiong was very shrewd, and even when Elder Luo went alone to chase into the Desolate Realm, he gathered Professor Guo and Sun Heshun, then pursued together, even deliberately leading them the wrong way, acting as if he was an unaware outsider, relying on Professor Guo to find Elder Luo.

This reduced his suspicion even further.

But Shang Tianxiong calculated everyone except for one person.

Xiang Beifei!

Everyone thought Luo Yunxian, the True God of Jiuzhou, was strongest in his combat prowess, but few knew that if he wished, he could definitely be the smartest person in Jiuzhou!

It’s because he could completely allocate his leisure points to intelligence and analytical abilities!

When Elder Luo identified the spies, he didn’t deduce their identity through simple fragments of existing clues; rather, he recalled Xiang Beifei’s capabilities.

Though Xiang Beifei didn’t specify who was most likely the spy, when Elder Luo arrived at Liangzhou to assist Shang Tianxiong, seeing the injured Shang Tianxiong, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of Xiang Beifei’s related abilities!

In the past, Xiang Beifei made all sorts of trouble in Jiuzhou, using his N-level system to beat various geniuses, causing quite the stir. At the time, Elder Luo had always been speculating about what Xiang Beifei’s system actually was.

Later, he noticed Xiang Beifei’s strength improved rapidly, but every time he was about to break through to the next major realm, he would be clueless, then come to inquire with joy, giving Elder Luo a vague idea.

Xiang Beifei didn’t know how to break through to the Meridian Opening stage! Didn’t know how to break through to the God Refining stage! Didn’t know how to break through to the orifice transforming stage!

At that time, relying on his powerful analytical abilities, Elder Luo deduced Xiang Beifei’s true ability.

This little rascal didn’t have a system himself but could control others’ systems!

Among the many trusted by Elder Luo, whether it was Professor Guo, Sun Heshun, or Yin Nianqing, Ye Changfeng, Yuchi Shen, Ren Jianghai... Xiang Beifei had met them all!

Their cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds these years because Xiang Beifei deliberately had Helian Zheng bring back methods to enhance system power.

Xiang Beifei’s control over systems was incredibly powerful, capable of manipulating various systems, and he had interfaced with all of these people’s systems.

In other words, the person whose system wasn’t manipulated by Xiang Beifei had the greatest suspicion!

The information brought to Elder Luo by Xiang Beifei was that other races in the Edge Corner Airspace didn’t have systems!

If Xiang Beifei had met this person before, he could immediately tell whether they were from the Jiuzhou continent.

And of all these people, only Shang Tianxiong hadn’t been seen by Xiang Beifei!

Shang Tianxiong was originally an N-level powerhouse and was the first N-level student recruited by Liangzhou University, taking four years to get admitted to Liang University, and made his way through Body Cultivation, revered by all.

Logically, after Xiang Beifei also entered Liangzhou University, as the then-provincial governor of Liangzhou, Shang Tianxiong should have met this other N-level student, regardless of whether it was to acquaint themselves or to jointly inspire all N-level Awakeners, it would have been a normal occurrence for two of the most famous N-level Awakeners in Jiuzhou to meet.

But Shang Tianxiong never did this!

This wouldn’t be a big deal, as there was no rule mandating their meeting, but if you were to look for a spy hiding in Jiuzhou for over twenty years, in Elder Luo’s eyes, it had to be that person Xiang Beifei never met!

Because of Xiang Beifei’s innate ability to automatically filter specific suspects!
