Chapter 247: Aftermath of the Judgment, Innovation Restarts
After the mysterious man left, Xiao Bei did not indulge in the joy of obtaining the "Chaos Divine Art". He pushed open the door and stepped into the bustling street.
The surrounding spiritual world monks looked at him with admiration, and cheers rose one after another, "Great God Xiao Bei!
", "Xiao Bei is awesome!
"The shouts resounded through the sky.
But his face was calm, without any trace of the triumph of a winner.
Traditional forces are deeply entrenched, how could they give up so easily?
They secretly obstructed and spread rumors to prevent other sects from cooperating with Xiao Bei.
The reform plan proposed by Xiao Bei encountered obstacles at every turn.
He contacted several sects that had originally expressed support, but the responses he received were ambiguous and evasive.
"Fellow Daoist Xiao Bei, this matter is of great importance. Our sect needs to make a long-term plan..."
"Fellow Daoist Xiao Bei, we shouldn't rush into reforms..."
How could Xiao Bei not understand these high-sounding reasons?
He clenched his fists in anger, veins popping out. These old foxes really said one thing in public and another behind the scenes!
"It seems that if we don't teach them a lesson, they won't cooperate!" A cold light flashed in Xiao Bei's eyes.
Bei Li squeezed through the crowd, pulled Xiao Bei's sleeve, and whispered, "Xiao Bei, I've heard some news. The traditional forces are secretly threatening those sects that support you..."
"Humph, as expected!" Xiao Bei snorted coldly, "They think they can stop me like this? That's wishful thinking!"
He took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said to Beili: "Let's go and visit that 'Spiritual Detective'!"
Beili blinked and asked curiously, "Spiritual Detective? Who is that?"
Xiao Bei smiled mysteriously, "He's a very interesting person. Perhaps he can help us find a breakthrough..."
The two came to a secluded teahouse and found the legendary spirit detective.
The detective was a middle-aged man who looked a bit cynical and was leisurely sipping spiritual tea.
"Fellow Daoist Xiao Bei, I've long heard of your great name." The detective put down his teacup and looked at Xiao Bei with a half-smile.
"Mr. Detective, I would like to ask you to help me investigate some things..." Xiao Bei said straight to the point.
The detective smiled slightly. "Oh? What's the matter? Tell me..."
Xiao Bei told the detective about the traditional forces secretly obstructing the reform, and asked him to help investigate the mastermind behind it.
After listening to this, the detective touched his chin, pondered for a moment, and said, "Fellow Daoist Xiao Bei, this matter is not simple... However, since you are so sincere, I will take this case."
He paused and added, "But my fees are very high..."
Xiao Bei smiled slightly, "As long as you can find out the truth, the price is negotiable."
The detective held up a finger. "This number..."
Bei Li exclaimed, "Ten million spirit stones?! You're robbing me!"
The detective shrugged. "No way. The greater the risk, the higher the fee..."
Xiao Bei waved his hand, signaling Bei Li to be quiet, then looked at the detective and said slowly, "Deal."
The detective raised his lips to a mysterious smile, "It's a pleasure to work with you..." He paused and lowered his voice, "However, Fellow Daoist Xiao Bei, I advise you to be careful..."
Xiao Bei walked out of the teahouse, and Bei Li followed closely behind him, still muttering, "Ten million spirit stones! That can buy so many elixirs! This detective is too shady!"
Xiao Bei smiled helplessly: "It's better to spend money to avoid disaster. As long as the truth can be found, these spirit stones are nothing." Although he said so, his heart was bleeding. Ten million spirit stones are not a small number. It is enough for him to buy several handy magic weapons.
The news spread quickly throughout the spiritual world as if it had wings.
Xiao Bei won the case, but there was no substantial action.
Some sects that were originally wavering chose to remain silent under the coercion and inducement of traditional forces.
Xiao Bei looked at the list in his hand. The list was originally filled with supporters, but now most of them had been crossed out, leaving only a few names.
He sighed deeply, and the air around him seemed to freeze, making it hard for him to breathe.
"Is my road to innovation going to stop here?" Xiao Bei felt powerless, as if he had punched cotton and couldn't exert any strength.
Bei Li noticed Xiao Bei's low mood, gently held his hand, and said softly: "Xiao Bei, don't lose heart, we still have a chance!"
Xiao Bei forced a smile: "I know, but..."
"Just what?" Beili asked.
"I just feel that human hearts are hard to predict..." Xiao Bei sighed.
He did not push forward the reform forcefully as everyone expected, but chose a more difficult path - personally visiting the threatened sects.
This action surprised many monks, and they didn't understand why Xiao Bei did this.
In their view, those fence-sitters are not worth winning over at all.
However, Xiao Bei impressed some sects with his sincerity and determination.
He frankly admitted his shortcomings and listened humbly to their opinions and suggestions.
The originally tense atmosphere gradually eased.
Some sects expressed their willingness to reconsider cooperation, and although some sects did not make clear statements, their attitudes had obviously softened a lot.
Xiao Bei's action was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.
People began to re-examine this young innovator and the ideas he put forward.
One night, Xiao Bei was meditating in his room when he suddenly heard a knock on the door.
"Who?" Xiao Bei asked warily.
"It's me." A deep voice came.
Xiao Bei opened the door and saw a man in black standing outside.
The man in black handed him a letter and said, "Someone asked me to give this letter to you." After that, the man in black turned and disappeared into the night.
Xiao Bei opened the envelope suspiciously, and saw a few words written on it: "Be careful, someone is trying to harm you..."
Xiao Bei took the jade slip handed to him by the spirit world detective, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, outlining an arc of "everything is under control".
"As expected of the Sherlock Holmes of the spiritual world, his efficiency is amazing!" He secretly praised in his heart. Although the detective's fees were a bit expensive, his efficiency was really high.
The jade slips contained evidence of the traditional forces' secret obstruction, including footage of a secret meeting between the bribed judge and the traditional forces' leader No. 2, recordings of them threatening other sects, and even the testimony of Witness A.
This is simply solid evidence!
"Now, let's see what you have to say!" A cold light flashed in Xiao Bei's eyes. With these evidences, he could completely expose the conspiracy of the traditional forces to the sun.
He immediately contacted Ally A and summoned representatives from all the sects that supported him, preparing to make the evidence public.
As soon as the news came out, the entire spiritual world was in an uproar.
After seeing the overwhelming evidence, the sects that were originally wavering switched sides and expressed their willingness to join Xiao Bei's reform camp.
Those sects that had been threatened by traditional forces were even more indignant and denounced the despicable behavior of the traditional forces.
Xiao Bei stood on the high platform, looking at the excited crowd below, and a feeling of heroism surged in his heart.
He raised the jade slip in his hand and said loudly, "Today, I will expose the ugly face of the traditional forces!"
He made the contents of the jade slip public, exposing the greed of the bribed judge, the cunning and treacherous nature of the traditional leader 2, and the cowardice of Witness A.
"I didn't expect them to be so despicable!"
"It's so abominable!"
"We support Xiao Bei and support innovation!"
The crowd in the audience roared, and the sound was deafening.
The representatives of traditional forces were livid, but unable to refute.
Xiao Bei looked at all this and felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart.
He knew that his road to reform would be smoother.
He looked around at everyone, his eyes gleaming with confidence, and said slowly: "The era of innovation has arrived!"
At this moment, a disciple hurriedly ran to Xiao Bei and whispered a few words in his ear.
Xiao Bei's expression suddenly changed. He turned his head and looked into the distance. He said in a deep voice, "They are coming..."
With Xiao Bei's order, the reform plan was officially launched!
Several small sects took the lead in responding, and like a spark, they ignited the prairie fire of change in the spiritual world.
They began to implement new training methods, resource allocation systems, and sect management models at lightning speed.
The efficiency is as high as a rocket launch!
These small sects were once unknown, but now they have become the focus of the spiritual world.
They were like people who had been given an injection of chicken blood, their cultivation speed soared, and resources also emerged in an endless stream as if they had been given a cheat.
In just a few months, the overall strength of these small sects has increased significantly, which is simply the rhythm of "defying the will of heaven and changing fate"!
Seeing the plan going so smoothly, Xiao Bei felt so proud!
He felt like a great designer who had created a miracle with his own hands!
The monks around were also full of expectations for the future, and each of their faces was filled with happy smiles, as if they had seen a bright future in the spiritual world.
"Master Xiao Bei, awesome!"
"Xiao Bei, the eternal God!"
Words of praise came like a tide, but Xiao Bei always kept a cool head.
He knew that this was only the first step in a long journey and that greater challenges lay ahead.
"That old fox, the leader of the traditional forces, will definitely not give up. He must be holding back some big move!" Xiao Bei thought to himself, "I have to prepare in advance, so as not to be caught off guard by him!"
He began to think about how to deal with the next move of the traditional leader 2, and various strategies emerged in his mind.
He was like a shrewd chess player, silently arranging his troops in his mind, preparing for a thrilling game with his opponent.
The smooth implementation of the reform plan has given the entire spiritual world a brand new look.
Resources have been allocated more reasonably, and the monks' cultivation efficiency has been greatly improved.
The spiritual world is thriving, as if it has entered a new golden age.
However, beneath this prosperous scene, an undercurrent is surging...
One day, Xiao Bei was checking the implementation of the reform plan when he suddenly discovered some abnormalities.
"Huh? Why are there so many missing spirit stones?" He frowned, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart...
"Beili, come here!"
