When system cheat becomes rampant!-Chapter 792 - 577: The Punishment of Justice

"The valley where Zha Jiang Stronghold is located?"

All cultivators slightly furrowed their brows.

In recent days, the emergence of Zha Jiang Stronghold as the fourth power had been unexpected, and even though only seven or eight races had joined them, they constituted a small force not to be underestimated.

Especially since the master of Zha Jiang Stronghold was none other than Xiang Beifei, who had killed the Demon Tentacle Race expert, Elder Zhen. His strength had been Witnessed by All, making everyone wary, and no cultivator dared to provoke the cultivators of Zha Jiang Stronghold without good reason—they did not want to be targeted by Xiang Beifei.

But at this moment, no one had expected that the perfect observation point Flaming Six Wings spoke of would be at the main base of Zha Jiang Stronghold.

Flaming Six Wings spoke with a pleasant smile, "As long as I am able to observe from that valley, I will definitely be able to further analyze the pattern of the day-night cycle, bringing us one step closer to unlocking the secrets of the Divine Inheritance."

"What are we waiting for, then? Let’s go straight to Zha Jiang Stronghold and make them give up their territory!"

"Exactly, this matter is so important. Now, Lord Chi is our only hope to leave this place. If Xiang Beifei does not know his place and refuses to cooperate, then he is the enemy of all cultivators!"

"Right! If we can decipher the pattern of the day-night cycle, allowing us all to leave here safely, then we must satisfy all of Lord Chi’s demands! In other words, we are carrying out an act of justice!"

Many cultivators voiced their opinion, desperately seeking a reasonable excuse to act.

Hearing these words, Flaming Six Wings’ mouth twitched, revealing a sly smile.

He knew he had achieved his goal, all he needed was a reason to make a move against Xiang Beifei. The pattern of "day-night transition" was merely a ruse. With that banner, he could coerce this group of cultivators to do many things for him.

And he was well aware that Xiang Beifei would not easily relinquish the valley and would surely resist. When that happened, he could lead the warriors from Light Valley to flatten all the cultivators of Zha Jiang Stronghold and capture Xiang Beifei alive!

However, Flaming Six Wings still pretended to be troubled as he said, "Having a conflict with the people from Zha Jiang Stronghold is something I do not wish to see. We have all come together for a common goal and should work together harmoniously to find a way out."

"Lord Chi is truly too kind. However, Lord Chi must understand that for the benefit of the majority, it is only right to sacrifice the interests of the few. Would Xiang Beifei dare to say anything?" Jiao Shkai from the Panjiao Race said loudly from below.

Because of the death of Jiao Yingguang, he had long loathed Xiang Beifei. Now that an opportunity to deal with Xiang Beifei had finally arisen, he naturally supported Flaming Six Wings unconditionally in going against Zha Jiang Stronghold!

Jiao Dihong also immediately echoed loudly, "If Xiang Beifei does not agree, then we will wage a tough war on them! Forget about rules and etiquette. Rules are here to ensure that we all can live and leave. Anyone who hinders our survival must be eliminated! This is a holy war, a just war!"

"Exactly! Ours is a righteous demand, Xiang Beifei must not refuse; if he does, he is the public enemy!"

Many cultivators spoke with righteousness and enthusiasm!

The cultivators here were all from the Yi Tribe. Originally, they had come for their own interests, competing with one another, and had no emotional ties to Xiang Beifei’s Zha Jiang Stronghold. In their eyes, it did not matter if a few more foreign experts died; that was just one less competitor.

As long as their interests were involved, they could instantly transform into warriors fighting for justice!

"Let’s go! Let’s head to Zha Jiang Stronghold immediately and get Xiang Beifei to cooperate!"

"Let’s go!"

Everyone made a decisive move, and driven by Jiao Shkai and Jiao Dihong, they surged out of Light Valley, heading in a massive wave toward Zha Jiang Stronghold where Xiang Beifei was located.

"See, isn’t this taking the moral high ground?"

Flaming Six Wings smiled faintly.

With just a little manipulation, he could incite a group of cultivators to follow his orders devotedly, and it was all voluntary. As long as he held the banner of "unlocking the day-night transition pattern, obtaining the Divine Inheritance," there would be countless supporters at his beck and call.

With admiration, Kana bowed and said, "Lord Chi is wise! I am humbled by comparison."

"There is still much for you to learn."

The halo of sanctity above Flaming Six Wings’ head flickered again, shining bright and dazzling.

——

The mass of Light Valley surged toward Zha Jiang Stronghold where Xiang Beifei was located, every cultivator wearing an expression of righteousness, as if they were there to maintain world peace.

Fu Qiuzi and his companions were initially discussing the affairs of Zha Jiang Stronghold at the entrance of the valley with Guan Cang when they suddenly found themselves surrounded by an aggressive crowd of cultivators, taking them by surprise.

"What’s going on?" exclaimed Fu Qiuzi in astonishment.

This group of nearly a thousand cultivators, all from Light Valley, was a tremendously powerful force, and their blockading of Zha Jiang Stronghold’s valley boded no good.

"Fu Qiuzi, tell Xiang Beifei and all of you to scram from this valley! We’ve requisitioned this valley!" Jiao Shkai said with a chilling tone.

Unlike last time, this time he had a large group of cultivators as his backing, and he spoke with full confidence.

Jiao Dihong also shouted, "That’s right! You, Zha Jiang Stronghold, are blocking all Daoist friends from going out, so get out of the way now! Otherwise, we will declare war on you in the name of the Divine Lord!"

Fu Qiuzi and Guan Cang exchanged glances, both somewhat baffled; they had merely used this valley as their base, so how had it become a barrier to all cultivators’ hopes of departure?

"Nonsense! This is our Zha Jiang Stronghold territory, how can we allow you to act recklessly! Have you forgotten the rules beside Hei Shui River? Private fights are prohibited here!" Fu Qiuzi said solemnly.

Jiao Shkai sneered, "Enough talk! Rules are dead, but all of us Daoist friends are alive. If you, Zha Jiang Stronghold, intend to cut off all cultivators’ means of survival, then you must pay the price!"

"When did we ever cut off all cultivators’ means of survival?" Guan Cang also spoke gravely.

"Stop wasting words, are you giving up this valley or not!"

Jiao Shkai didn’t even wish to explain in detail, assuming that Zha Jiang Stronghold was unwilling to give up, and was fanning the flames on the side, eager to start a war. This was their chance to avenge Jiao Yingguang, hoping to provoke a war and kill a few Zha Jiang Stronghold cultivators to relieve their anger before the situation was clear!

Powerful auras burst forth from cultivators like Jiao Shkai and Jiao Dihong, their terrifying presences rolling in waves towards Fu Qiuzi and Guan Cang.

Fu Qiuzi and his party also underwent a slight change in complexion, as they conjured up Spiritual Power to counter, but they simply couldn’t resist so many cultivators and were forced to take several steps back.

But at that moment, an even more terrifying presence came from the valley of Zha Jiang Stronghold, like a violent gust, directly shattering the auras of Jiao Shkai, Jiao Dihong, and the other cultivators!

Jiao Shkai and Jiao Dihong gasped for air, looking up at the young man who appeared in front of Fu Qiuzi.

It was Xiang Beifei!

"Looking for death?"

Xiang Beifei indifferently scanned the Yi Trib cultivators who came under the guise of justice to denounce Zha Jiang Stronghold, a trace of killing intent appearing in his eyes.

However, at the same time, a mellow aura spread from behind Jiao Shkai and the others, like a spring breeze on the face, accompanied by a sacred glow, protecting all cultivators and contending with Xiang Beifei.

Suddenly, a white pillar of light descended from the sky, and Flaming Six Wings, with six white wings flapping, slowly descended from within the column, surrounded by a few white feathers, radiating a gentle glow.

His entrance was very impressive and memorable.

"Daoist Xiang, long time no see. We have not formally met. I am the Divine Envoy of the Moon God Race, Flaming Six Wings," said Flaming Six Wings with a full-faced smile.

"What is it?" Xiang Beifei asked, frowning.

Flaming Six Wings gently said, "It’s like this. Recently, the alternating day and night beside the Hei Shui River contained a divine inheritance. Our Moon God Race happens to have an understanding of this cycle, and we are currently deciphering this celestial phenomenon. Once we figure out the pattern of day and night alternation, we will be able to find the Land of Inheritance of the divine, and everyone will find a way to leave this place.

Unfortunately, I still need to observe from different locations to derive the pattern of day and night more accurately, and one of these places is your valley."

"Why did you bring so many cultivators then?" Xiang Beifei asked.

"They just hope that Daoist Xiang, for the benefit of the broad cultivators community, will lead your men to move out of this valley, to lend us a hand for a while, allowing me to predict the day and night cycle better," Flaming Six Wings said with a smile.

He knew that Xiang Beifei would definitely not easily agree to give up the valley, because giving up their territory would mean telling his own Zha Jiang Stronghold cultivators that he, the stronghold leader, had no ability to protect his own land, and could only submit to Light Valley.

The cultivators of Zha Jiang Stronghold came here to band together for warmth, hoping to have an expert to protect them. If Xiang Beifei chose to give in, it would mean that he was unreliable, and then all cultivators would start to doubt the ability of Xiang Beifei as the stronghold leader.

Once the people are disheartened, the team becomes difficult to manage.

Flaming Six Wings was indirectly forcing Xiang Beifei to disband Zha Jiang Stronghold, but he was sure that Xiang Beifei would not compromise.

If Xiang Beifei intended to oppose, then Flaming Six Wings would have an excuse to take action, capture Xiang Beifei alive, and then study Xiang Beifei, force Xiang Beifei to reveal the whereabouts of the Human Race, to proceed with the plan to seize the Dao embryo!

"So that’s how it is."

Xiang Beifei nodded slightly, roughly understanding Flaming Six Wings’ words.

One has to admit this Meat-Winged Monster did have some tricks up its sleeve, with strong charisma and persuasive power, managing to rally people with the baseless claim of "day and night alternation representing divine inheritance trials" and hoodwinked these Yi Trib cultivators, even making these fools into his pawns.

If it were any other cultivator, they really wouldn’t have any way to deal with Flaming Six Wings, because they couldn’t debunk Flaming Six Wings’ lies about "day and night alternation and divine inheritance trials" nor could they resist Flaming Six Wings’ charisma.

However, Flaming Six Wings had picked the wrong opponent this time.

"You just said, daytime and nighttime alternation represents the divine inheritance test?" Xiang Beifei asked with a meaningful tone.
