When system cheat becomes rampant!

These powers far exceeded what Xiang Beifei could resist. If his cultivation were higher, perhaps he might be able to withstand them, but this force was much stronger than him.

Most crucially, it was not a system ability.

People like Zhu Yiji and He Caiwei, even if they used various powerful rule-based forces to oppress Xiang Beifei right in front of him, Xiang Beifei would directly ignore them.

But he couldn't ignore this force!

The Eclipse Sword also developed a crack; it was about to give way.

The Eclipse Sword was a sword given to Xiang Beifei by Ye Changfeng, serving the purpose of invisibility. Normally, Xiang Beifei would rely on this sword to travel unimpeded across the continent of Jiuzhou, but this time, he had met his match.

At this moment, the energy barriers in the canyon began to move as well.

The barriers stretched across the entire canyon, resembling vertical curtains of water, covering the cliffs on both sides of the canyon, sweeping back and forth, searching every nook and cranny.

Countless Unrestrained flew through the air, and when they passed these watery barriers, they would pass right through, causing only minor ripples, but Xiang Beifei knew very well that if these barriers were to sweep over them, they would undoubtedly be uncovered!

"Fall back, follow me!"

Xiang Beifei's complexion darkened as he quickly moved closer to the walls of the canyon. He saw a cave nearby and immediately pushed everyone into the cave, intending to take temporary shelter there.

This was a spacious apartment cave. Inside, the layout was expansive. An Unrestrained at the later stages of Meridian Opening was hurriedly preparing to go out for a gathering. Keshi wanted to raise his hand to kill this Unrestrained, but Xiang Beifei stopped him.

"Let him go out."

Xiang Beifei didn't kill the man. Unrestrained were very methodical in their actions. If one person was missing, a simple search could lead them here, which would be quite troublesome.

Almost the instant the Unrestrained left the cave, the Eclipse Sword shattered, and its invisibility ability disappeared, revealing everyone's form.

"This is really bizarre!"

Xiang Beifei cursed under his breath. He had previously roamed the headquarters building of the alliance and took a casual stroll without being discovered, as the place was basically surrounded by various types of system abilities, which he could completely ignore.

But here among the Unrestrained, he had actually taken a loss!

After entering the cave, he immediately set up layers of simple Spiritual Power barriers about three meters from the entrance as a precaution and then asked everyone to move towards the back of the apartment.

The two-bedroom, one-living room apartment was quite warmly furnished, with a presentable balcony at the back. From the balcony, one could see a bright sunshine pouring into the room.

But this was just an illusion, in reality, there was just a wall opposite the balcony, a system ability that allowed for any desired scenery to be freely chosen. The Unrestrained's lives were indeed rather tasteful.

"Xiaohei, can your bubbles take them out?" Xiang Beifei asked.

Xiaohei shook his head.

Its bubbles could only carry non-living items. If anything living was stuffed inside, they would burst immediately.

At that moment, a third powerful force swept through. While this force was fluctuating, Xiang Beifei already vaguely perceived its function—

It could break through any disguise-type system abilities!

"Damn it."

Xiang Beifei immediately put away the Ronin Sword!

He usually relied on the Ronin Sword to disguise himself as a wandering person, and the appearance of Zheng Xian was also a disguise created with the Ronin Sword. If he continued to use this system item, the Ronin Sword might well disintegrate too!

When he removed his disguise, Xu Hongcai and the others were startled to see Xiang Beifei!

"You... you're not that, what's his name..." Xu Hongcai stared at Xiang Beifei in shock, his mind momentarily short-circuiting!

"Xiang Beifei!" A girl behind him exclaimed, finishing his sentence.

Everyone recognized what Xiang Beifei looked like!

"Right! It's Xiang Beifei! You actually came to save us!" Xu Hongcai was overwhelmed with excitement.

Xiang Beifei's reputation in the alliance was truly illustrious. They were all crystal clear about the incident at Liangzhou University, and they never imagined that the one to save them would be such a legendary figure.

"Save the excitement for when we get out."

Xiang Beifei pondered the way out.

"What do we do now?" Keshi asked in a low voice.

Xiang Beifei's mind raced. Without the help of the Eclipse Sword, his movements were greatly restricted. He could no longer move freely in the canyon, and now he needed to think of other methods.

However, as he was leaving, he happened to see that the cave Xiaohei had visited last time was not far from here, a short distance away.

The patterns at the entrance of the canyon, when it appeared, were almost the same as the patterns on his own brick, and the patterns inside that cave were also similar. The Unrestrained even used blood to nurture them!

Xiang Beifei had a strange hunch.

Perhaps the formation in the cave was used to control the exit too!

Although he couldn't be certain, he had no other options now; he had to try the cave.

"Keshi, you protect them. Stay here for now, I'm going to check out the situation outside."

Xiang Beifei searched in the wardrobe in the room and found a gray outfit to drape over himself, and then put on a hat. Fortunately, the various attires of the Unrestrained outside were due to the need to hide one's identity, so wearing a hat in the crowd wasn't conspicuous.

Erha also wanted to come along, but it had lost its invisibility ability as well, so Xiang Beifei only allowed it to guard the place.

"Ao wu."

The Wooden Kirin agreed as it had just received quite a few Beast Pills from there and was munching away happily—it was too lazy to join the commotion as long as it had food.

Keshi was slightly surprised to see the Wooden Kirin because it was this creature that had knocked him down last time.

"Erha, protect these people well."

Xiang Beifei quickly left the cave, feeling the powerful forces outside, his heart growing ever more solemn. However, the Unrestrained flying swiftly through the air didn't seem to pay any attention to Xiang Beifei, as they were all converging in that direction.

When the Unrestrained crossed the Spiritual Power barriers crisscrossing the ravine, the barriers did not impede them, but the air-borne barriers would light up for a moment, seemingly verifying the identity of those passing through.

Clearly, they must have some method of verification, perhaps the barriers were able to recognize their own by whether there was a Beast Pill in the heart, and as for those Unrestrained like Hu Cheng who did not have Beast Pills, they must have another way.

But regardless of the method, if Xiang Beifei tried to force his way through, the barriers would definitely detect him and might expose him.

He had a very strong learning ability and quickly analyzed the distribution of the barriers in the entire ravine. Overall, there were dozens of barriers, moving back and forth, sometimes overlapping each other.

Even if he wanted to follow a moving barrier forward, he would encounter another opposing barrier after just a few steps, and it was easy to get caught between and bumped by the barriers.

"The barriers don't scan into the cave, so that makes things easier."

Xiang Beifei quickly sketched out a route in his mind. Since the cliffs in the ravine were full of caves, all he needed to do was time the movements of the barriers right and hide in the caves!

The cave that Xiaohei discovered was actually less than thirty meters away from him!

Swish!

As one barrier passed in front of him, Xiang Beifei had already dashed out, following right behind the barrier, but after running three meters, he immediately leaped into the air, diving into another cave, just as a water curtain swept over from the front.

"One, two, three, now!"

After passing through three successive barriers coming towards him, Xiang Beifei reappeared and continued running forward. Two meters later, he dived into a side cave again, avoiding a probing barrier that was coming from ahead.

Thus, stopping and going, Xiang Beifei completely mastered the pattern of the barriers, but a new problem arose—the entrance to the cave Xiaohei had gone to was covered by a barrier like a water curtain. How would he get past this barrier?

"Woof woof?" Xiaohei crouched on Xiang Beifei's shoulder, offering him advice and strategies.

"Can we really do it like this?" Xiang Beifei asked in surprise.

Xiaohei spread its paws, indicating to take a gamble.

Xiang Beifei pondered for a moment. After all, he had no other choice now. If he didn't try, the Unrestrained would eventually conduct a thorough search and find them sooner or later.

"Alright."

He looked behind and noticed no Unrestrained were flying his way, so he dashed out again. This time he landed in a cave marked with a snowflake symbol and quickly stuck two bricks onto the water curtain barrier!

Thud!

A strange soft noise followed, and the barrier was immediately covered in golden patterns, with the entire water curtain barrier appearing to suddenly freeze, stopping its flow.

He cautiously reached out to touch the water curtain barrier and found, to his surprise, that it hadn't been triggered!

"Great stuff!"

Xiang Beifei's eyes lit up, he didn't hesitate and immediately passed through the water curtain and flashed into the cave. Once inside, he promptly retrieved the two bricks, and the water curtain barrier resumed normal operation!

Those bricks turned out to be very useful; they even worked against Spiritual Power-created barriers—an oddity, indeed!

However, at that moment, a deafening sound suddenly filled the entire ravine, like thunder exploding in every corner of the valley.

"Someone has infiltrated our base, coming through the entrance of the Tranquil Domain's seventh zone. It's highly likely they're from the Su People! Everyone must be on guard! We must find him, even if it means digging three feet into the ground!"

This was not Lin Long's voice, but... Qin Hongyi's!

Xiang Beifei was very surprised upon hearing this message!

Not because of Lin Long, but because of—Tranquil Domain?

Coming from the entrance of the Tranquil Domain's seventh zone?

Xiang Beifei and his group had entered from the fifteenth zone of the Marquis Domain!

This meant that the person who triggered the barriers was not them, but someone else?

Who could it be?

"This guy has really screwed us over!"

Although Xiang Beifei didn't know who this person was, he still couldn't help but grumble inwardly!

It was obvious that on his rescue mission just before, Xiang Beifei had been very cautious; the lab was full of various system capabilities that couldn't possibly affect him, but suddenly the entire ravine was on alarm. Initially, he thought he might have been careless somewhere.

Now he realized that he was being dragged down by an unknown person.
