When system cheat becomes rampant!-Chapter 798 - 583: Trilateral Talks

This made Xiang Beifei even more surprised. How could these peculiar roots be so formidable? Capable of splitting a wall that even Heavenly Connection experts couldn’t shatter?

They continued forward, but the path ahead was nearly completely blocked. However, there was still a narrow crevice just wide enough for one person, and the two of them ducked and squeezed through it, finally emerging from the crack, but still surrounded by shadows.

Looking up, the black roots were growing larger, coiling upwards like muscular dragons. Each root was abnormally thick, with the girth of the rounded roots measuring several tens of meters in diameter, and above was a terrifying black tree that blotted out the sun.

It was pitch-dark as if it enshrouded the sky itself. The light was extremely dim; sunlight couldn’t reach here at all, with only a faint shimmering light visible.

"It feels like this is some Giant Spirit’s courtyard. They planted this huge tree here, and as a result, the roots have split the walls," Li Qianluo climbed onto the root, then began to fly upward.

Xiang Beifei followed him, climbing the tree as well. He felt like a tiny insect that one might see on the big trees in the forests, utterly insignificant compared to this towering tree.

The branches of the black jade tree intertwined wildly, each limb in front of them appearing like an insurmountable wall. They had to navigate around them for a long time. Moreover, the leaves of this tree were incredibly large, each leaf being about twenty meters long and half a meter thick, with a texture that was very hard. Xiang Beifei tried to leave a mark on the black jade tree, only to find that he couldn’t make any indentation at all.

After flying up about a thousand meters, they hadn’t yet reached the top of the tree, but Li Qianluo stopped on a large leaf and began to walk inward.

"Over here, last time I found a very strange rune mark."

"What kind of rune mark?" Xiang Beifei asked.

"That’s what I don’t know, hence I am asking you."

Li Qianluo jumped to another thick branch and walked about two hundred meters inward along the trunk. He stopped and pointed at the branch, "Right here."

Xiang Beifei also leaped over, landing beside Li Qianluo, and looked toward the branch.

The branch was very broad. Due to its thickness, it actually resembled flat ground. On it, there was a very strange symbol, about thirty meters long, crooked and oddly shaped.

Standing too close, Xiang Beifei couldn’t see it clearly, so he flew up to a higher branch to view the entire symbol from above.

From up high, the symbol resembled some type of animal, with its claws outstretched and a long tail dragging behind it, forming a vertical line in the air.

"Woof woof!" Xiaohei said the figure looked a lot like Erha.

"Awoo! Awoo!" Erha retorted that he was much handsomer and that the pattern looked more like Youmong lying on the ground with hands up in surrender.

Youmong, feeling disgruntled, contradicted with "You You You."

The three little ones were happily discussing on the side, while only Xiang Beifei was staring at the huge pattern, lost in thought. For some reason, he felt he had seen this symbol somewhere before, but couldn’t recall where exactly.

"Do you have any impression?" Li Qianluo asked.

Xiang Beifei shook his head, "Hard to say, just feels vaguely familiar."

"Familiar, then look here too, there’s more here."

Li Qianluo jumped to another huge branch, and Xiang Beifei followed. On another massive branch, another different rune mark was carved, slightly different from the previous one. This mark was more squarely shaped, enclosing a strange little monkey.

"I’ve counted them, there are seventy-seven huge rune marks, all distributed across the branches," Li Qianluo said.

"Seventy-seven?" Xiang Beifei furrowed his brow and then a flash of light crossed his mind. He suddenly realized where he had seen these symbols before.

—

By the banks of the Blackwater River.

Light Valley was originally in an excellent location with a wide view, not only overlooking Giant Spirit Village but also monitoring changes in the Blackwater River, ready to react to any danger that arose.

But now Light Valley had changed hands.

The expression of Flaming Six Wings was very somber as he was driven from his territory, an affront he couldn’t just swallow. Now, most of the cultivators from Light Valley had fled, leaving only about ten species still following them.

Their position within the Dawn Alliance had moved from Light Valley to a more remote area resembling a chaotic burial mound, full of jagged rocks and hardly suited for settling due to the difficult-to-clear rocks of the Land of Inheritance. Fortunately, they still had a Moon God Temple there, barely suitable for dwelling.

These days, Flaming Six Wings was engaged in a critically important task: researching Xiang Beifei’s "Tri-Ha Chaos Stone Piercing Variant," attempting to understand the alternation of day and night.

"I just can’t believe that such a pattern can’t be figured out!"

Flaming Six Wings harbored deep resentment towards Xiang Beifei but now also believed the phenomenon of day and night alternation. He had to master this pattern and then return to seek revenge.

However, he was still naive as he found that no matter how he tried, he couldn’t decipher this variable.

At that moment, Kana walked in from outside and respectfully said, "Lord Chi, the Night Demon from the Demon Race and the High Priest from the Demon Tentacle Race have come to visit."

Flaming Six Wings slightly frowned, speaking coldly, "What are they doing here? To make a mockery of us?"

Kana replied, "Subordinate doesn’t know, they only mentioned they had something to discuss with you, Lord Chi, concerning Xiang Beifei."

"Xiang Beifei?"

Flaming Six Wings, upon hearing these three words, was initially enraged but quickly calmed down, thought for a moment, and said, "Let them come in."

"Yes." Kana promptly exited.

Shortly after, two powerful auras appeared within the Moon God Temple, transforming into two human figures as they turned around.

"Daoist Chi, long time no see!"

Night Demon let out a clear and bright laugh, swiftly opening his folding fan with a "swish", gently fanning himself while appearing quite like a suave, carefree rogue.

Flaming Six Wings snorted coldly and said, "What brings you here?"

"Isn’t it just a visit to see you, Daoist Chi? Your halo seemed quite dim these past few days! Are you perhaps troubled by something?" Night Demon said with a light smile.

Flaming Six Wings’ expression grew even darker, and suddenly a powerful white aura surged from his body, forming a blade of light that lashed out at Night Demon!

With a swish, Night Demon waved his folding fan, and a roaring black mist burst forth, colliding with Flaming Six Wings’ white light.

Boom!

The two formidable auras intertwined in the air, releasing intense fluctuations that shook the entire Moon God Temple.

"Daoist Chi, this is hardly the way to treat a guest!" Night Demon lazily laughed.

Flaming Six Wings was devoid of his holy aura, replaced instead by yellow warty bumps across his body like a toad. The holy wings on his back had also transformed into six fleshy yellow wings, with sharp black blades at their tips.

"I still prefer you this way, cough cough!" The High Priest was not surprised by Flaming Six Wings’ true form.

"If you’ve only come to kick me while I’m down, then you’ve got the wrong place."

With a swish, Flaming Six Wings’ six fleshy wings emitted a yellow light as the foul-smelling river of death coiled in beams of light around the six pairs of flesh wings.

Night Demon and the High Priest exchanged glances, knowing Flaming Six Wings was indeed extremely angry, otherwise he would not have revealed his true form. They refrained from further provocation, as a real fight would not be merely for show.

"Daoist Chi has misunderstood. We are all friends stitched by the same thread, with a common enemy. How could we kick you while you’re down?" Night Demon said with a grin, pulling his aura back.

Flaming Six Wings narrowed his eyes, his resentful gaze shifting between Night Demon and the High Priest.

"A common enemy? What is he to you?"

If it were the High Priest of the Demon Tentacle Race, there might be resentment because Beifei had slain Giant Spirit, but he did not recall Night Demon having any grudges with Beifei.

"Beifei is of the Human Race, so what is he to me?" Night Demon said with a slight smile.

Flaming Six Wings narrowed his eyes, then glanced at the Demon Tentacle Race’s High Priest and said, "What of the Human Race?"

"We all know very well, there’s no need for veiled speech." Night Demon said.

"You also desire the Dao embryo on him?" asked Flaming Six Wings.

"Who doesn’t crave a Dao embryo of the Human Race?" responded Night Demon.

The strength of Beifei was so formidable that, in their eyes, he naturally possessed an exceedingly rare Dao embryo. The Dao embryo of the Human Race had always been coveted by many races, particularly the more powerful races hoping to enhance their own power.

"Then you should ask Xuwang, where the Human Race is hiding now," Flaming Six Wings said, staring at the High Priest.

Xuwang, also known as the High Priest’s name.

"I do not know," the High Priest responded calmly.

"Is that so? Then where did those abilities of Giant Spirit come from?" Flaming Six Wings retorted.

"Those were merely humans we had captured in Hanxia and kept until recently, when we extracted their Dao embryos and merged them into ourselves," the High Priest said coldly, looking at Flaming Six Wings. fгeewёbnoѵel_cσm

"Don’t tell me you’ve never captured humans to study this matter!" the High Priest added.

The High Priest did not tell the truth; he knew the whereabouts of Jiuzhou, but they intended to monopolize the Human Race’s Dao embryo, so he had no intentions of disclosing the location of Jiuzhou.

Flaming Six Wings snorted, indicating his skepticism.

"Anyway, now that we have a human appearing before us, alive and extremely formidable, the priority is to figure out how to deal with them!" said Night Demon.

"How do you plan to act against Beifei? He is quite popular now, with countless followers," asked Flaming Six Wings.

"No matter how formidable he is, he is still just one person," Night Demon said with a meaningful smile. He had a very sinister look when he smiled.

However, Night Demon’s actual target this time was not Beifei, but Li Qianluo, who possessed five pieces of the sacred stones!
