Xiang Beifei’s current strength was only at the mid stage of Meridian Opening, and he had not anticipated that the alliance would actually send three God Refining martial artists.
To be honest, he was not certain he could defeat even one God Refining expert face-to-face, let alone three of them.
Three God Refining experts; a direct confrontation would leave no chance of victory.
The opponents also used powerful Spiritual Power to seal off the area, just like what had happened earlier at the Archives Building. If it were some kind of system-generated barrier, Xiang Beifei could ignore it, but he was helpless against this type of Spiritual Power blockade.
Liu Shenghui stood on a tree branch, looking down at Xiang Beifei as if he were looking at a dead man.
"The genius youth Xiang Beifei, an N-level Awakener who could trample his peers marked as SSR beneath his feet, it is indeed an honor to have you cornered here today," said Liu Shenghui.
Xiang Beifei stared at Liu Shenghui, pondering over the situation before him.
"I don’t know you," Xiang Beifei said.
Liu Shenghui nodded slightly, "Indeed, you don’t know me. I have no personal grudges with you, we have never even crossed paths, no conflicts of interest whatsoever. But—"
He paused for a moment, then lifted his eyelids, "the only one to blame is that you chose the wrong person as your master."
Was this targeted at Elder Luo?
Xiang Beifei continued to browse through Liu Shenghui’s system log.
[You have encountered He Caiwei, height: 179, height value +9]
He Caiwei had been appearing quite frequently in Liu Shenghui’s system logs recently, meaning Liu Shenghui almost met with He Caiwei every day.
This suggested that this guy was sent by He Caiwei.
"You hate my master so much, aren’t you the brother of that killed SSR?" Xiang Beifei asked.
Liu Shenghui, Liu Sheng Dong, the connection was obvious.
Upon thinking of his brother, Liu Shenghui’s face contorted fiercely.
"You’re very smart." He hadn’t expected Xiang Beifei to guess his identity so quickly.
But the corners of Liu Shenghui’s mouth soon curled into a cold smirk.
"Unfortunately, smart people don’t tend to live long."
His gaze towards Xiang Beifei was filled with pity.
It was his bad luck being Luo Yunxian’s disciple.
The poor kid had simply chosen the wrong side.
Chosen the wrong side, and now he must pay the price!
"Understood," Xiang Beifei said calmly, nodding.
Elder Luo had killed the SSR Awakener Liu Sheng Dong, and Liu Shenghui wanted to take revenge for his brother, but he stood no chance against Elder Luo alone, so he targeted Xiang Beifei, a softer target. Enjoy more content from Freewebnovel
"Killing you is just a warning to Luo Yunxian; you’re just unlucky. In your next life, hopefully, you choose the right side," Liu Shenghui said.
"I have one question, haven’t you ever thought about your own position?" Xiang Beifei asked.
"My position?" Liu Shenghui frowned.
"Let’s not discuss whether you’re capable of killing me or not, even if you manage to kill me, my master will definitely investigate, and it will inevitably lead back to the alliance. Given his temperament, do you think a He Caiwei could keep you safe?" Xiang Beifei asked.
Liu Shenghui’s expression changed, he retorted, "This matter has nothing to do with Commander He!"
"Then you really are loyal, but unfortunately not very clever. Why didn’t He Caiwei act personally instead of specifically sending you? Because he knows my master’s capabilities. I have restrictions placed on me by my master, essentially whoever kills me, my master will find out.
My master will definitely track down the murderer and strike down the killer without hesitation. If he dared to kill your revered SSR brother, he would dare to eliminate a UR like He Caiwei!
He Caiwei naturally doesn’t have the guts to confront my master, but if you kill me, it’s different. My master will find you, and you will certainly be disavowed by He Caiwei, who will cleanly sever all ties with you, and your eventual fate will most likely be death."
Xiang Beifei simply helped analyze the situation for Liu Shenghui, remarking, "He’s already treating you like a disposable pawn; your loyalty is commendable."
Liu Shenghui’s expression froze!
Xiang Beifei’s words were extremely grating to the ears.
But upon closer thought, they made a lot of sense!
An UR-level Awakener, if he really wanted to kill Xiang Beifei, would basically only need to lift a finger, unnoticed and effortlessly.
However, He Caiwei had not acted personally!
Clearly, he had reservations!
With Xiang Beifei’s analysis, a hint of hesitation suddenly appeared in Liu Shenghui’s mind.
He had never considered this point!
Xiang Beifei then turned to look at the two Su People hidden in the shadows, "Then what about you two? As Su People of the God Refining stage, do you really need to hide your faces to ambush an Awakener of the Meridian Opening stage? I thought Su People specialized in handling the Unrestrained. I am disappointed to find you troubling me."
Liu Shenghui’s heart skipped a beat! He looked at Xiang Beifei in astonishment!
Even the two hidden in the shadows, "Eternal Sleep" and "Keshi," were shocked!
It was known that each of the Su People, being warriors of the God Refining stage, possessed extremely potent disguising abilities—a system item provided by UR-level Awakeners of the alliance that even ordinary God Refining Awakeners couldn’t see through.
Yet, here was Xiang Beifei, a mere Meridian Opening stage Awakener, able to detect their positions?
Not only that, he even knew they were Su People?
To be capable of such a feat, one had to be at the stage of Luo Yunxian, not just any warrior of the Meridian Opening stage!
Had Xiang Beifei’s strength already far surpassed theirs?
Eternal Sleep and Keshi were thrown into mental turmoil!
Wasn’t it agreed that he was just a warrior of the Meridian Opening stage? Could the intelligence have been wrong?
"I recognize your auras. Let me think, one is called Eternal Sleep, and the other is Keshi, right?" Xiang Beifei said slowly.

"What!"
Eternal Sleep and Keshi were utterly shocked!
This guy could actually recognize their auras?
And knew their names?
Eternal Sleep and Keshi exchanged glances in the shadows. Many thoughts flashed through their minds, as if they had experienced an earthquake!
"Damn, the intelligence was definitely wrong! Being able to detect us two, he is definitely no ordinary Meridian Opening stage warrior!" Eternal Sleep said anxiously.
"But his aura does indeed seem like that of the early Meridian Opening stage!" Keshi argued.
"He is Luo Yunxian’s disciple! Every time you meet Luo Yunxian, what is his level?" Eternal Sleep hissed.
Keshi paused.
Luo Yunxian, an SR-level Awakener, almost always exhibited merely the aura of the early Meridian Opening stage or sometimes even just of the late Qi-Controlling stage whenever they met him.
But if one really treated him as a late Qi-Controlling stage warrior, that would be utterly foolish!
"Are you suggesting that this guy… this guy’s level isn’t Meridian Opening? Like Luo Yunxian, does he have the ability to hide his own level?" Keshi asked in shock.
"Nonsense! If the master has this ability, then the disciple too, isn’t that normal? Our operation was almost decided spontaneously, not known to others, yet he was able to pinpoint our position and even accurately name us—it’s definitely not by chance!" Eternal Sleep declared emphatically.
A most likely possibility emerged in their minds—
Xiang Beifei’s level must far surpass theirs!
He might even be at the Orifice Transforming stage!
For the three of them, warriors of the God Refining stage, to think of assassinating such a person was simply absurd, utterly overestimating themselves!
With this realization, both Eternal Sleep and Keshi couldn’t help but shudder involuntarily!
