Eating bizarre things in public upgrades my status; the Special Affairs Bureau wants me to join them

"Everyone on trial? Humph!"

"What a boastful tone!!!"

"I'd like to see which blind fool dares to act so presumptuously in my Yinxian Sect!" He Li's resounding voice echoed throughout the Yinxian Sect, provoking a strong reaction from the entire sect.

The disciples, managers, elders, and even the son of the sect leader of the Yin Xian Sect, who considered themselves extraordinary, all mobilized.

In just a short while...

Located in the mountains on the outskirts of the city, the Yinxian Sect, covering an area of ​​tens of thousands of acres, has already swarmed out nearly a thousand disciples.

He Li's gaze swept over the disciples.

Using his spiritual power, he threw out the still relatively intact corpses of the Yin Xian Sect disciples he had killed in the city. The corpses fell from the sky with a dull thud...

Bang!

With a sound, the body shattered into countless pieces.

This arrogant and provocative behavior immediately enraged the already annoyed members of the Yin Xian Sect.

The Yin Xian Sect disciples were furious.

"Who are you? Are you looking to die?"

"Hmm? Judging from their badges, they should be investigators..."

"Investigators? Dogs!"

"Have they forgotten that a while ago they came to my Yinxian Sect hoping I would act as an intermediary and help their Shanghai investigators continue to connect them with those big shots?"

"They were as humble as dogs back then, and now that things are settled, they're all high and mighty? Aren't they stupid?"

"Aren't you afraid we'll sabotage your plans?"

"Damn it, these mere lackeys of Great Xia dare to provoke us, who have the backing of a powerful overseas nation? Looks like we haven't put enough pressure on those above us..."

"No, their badges..."

"They don't seem to be from the Shanghai Special Affairs Bureau..."

"So what if I'm not a Shanghai investigator?"

"Even the investigators from Shanghai don't dare touch us, do you think these worthless out-of-towners would dare to cause trouble?"

Staring at He Li in the sky, the Yin Xian Sect disciples, who were used to being arrogant because of their reliance on foreign forces, not only did not take He Li seriously at all, but also spoke rudely.

The Yin Xian Sect's managers, elders, and the leader's son seemed to have no intention of stopping them at all.

They just stared at He Li menacingly...

A faint, cold smile lingered at the corner of his mouth.

They clearly didn't realize the seriousness of the problem.

They just wanted to let their disciples insult them, to teach He Li and these clueless "hotheads" a lesson, and let them know what the consequences would be if they dared to provoke their Yin Xian Sect.

However, their idea was good.

But reality is exceptionally cruel.

Because He Li came here to kill people.

He didn't care what interests might be involved if he killed these people and asked them inappropriate questions.

Therefore, upon hearing that these disciples of the Yinxian Sect had revealed their connections with foreign forces without him even asking, and that they had even helped the Shanghai Special Affairs Bureau to make "deals"...

He Li also smiled.

But that smile was incredibly sinister.

He spoke softly...

"Slandering and insulting public officials seems to imply a desire to be above the Great Xia Dynasty. I now suspect that your Yin Xian faction is not only connected with foreign forces but also harbors rebellious intentions. You deserve to be executed!!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a faint golden light seemed to tilt from the sky...

An invisible and suffocating pressure...

In an instant, it descended upon the entire Yin Xian Sect!

Snap! Boom!

Starting with towering pavilions and magnificent palaces, all the buildings of the Yinxian Sect, large and small, and the Yinxian Sect disciples who had just been shouting but whose faces had suddenly changed, were crushed...

Before they could even scream, they were crushed into mincemeat by that invisible force, their blood staining the earth.

The strong smell of blood spread rapidly.

The once bustling sect fell silent in an instant.

Those few Yin Xian Sect disciples who were deliberately kept behind by He Li, who didn't look down on the investigators' identities or utter any insults, and the Yin Xian Sect's management...

At this moment, they were drenched in sweat, trembling like leaves, and their faces were completely bloodless.

They also reeked of a foul stench.

That was the stench of excrement.

They were so frightened that they lost control of their bladders.

Especially the high-ranking members of the Yin Xian faction, they no longer had that sinister smile, smugness, and seemingly confident demeanor from before. After all, what was happening before their eyes was too terrifying.

The person in the sky didn't move at all...

He seemed to only give a single glance.

As a result, the sect collapsed instantly, and hundreds of disciples of various martial arts levels were crushed into mincemeat without any power to resist...

Seeing his familiar disciple's bones shattered and blood broken, he died in agony, his face contorted with pain, unable to even scream...

Seeing such a brutal massacre, which should only exist in comics or virtual works, unfold before their eyes, was an unbearable shock due to its extreme gore.

Their fears were amplified to the extreme.

Especially when He Li looked over at them...

They thought they were going to die too!

Those Yin Xian Sect disciples and high-ranking members who were lucky enough to escape death due to their attitude, or who were deliberately spared by He Li, were so frightened that they collapsed to their knees and tried to beg for mercy.

The intense fear left their minds blank, and their lips trembled for a long time without uttering a sound.

Until He Li spoke again...

"Don't ask nice things twice."

"Now, I have four questions."

"Your answer had better satisfy me!"

His gaze fell on the Yin Xian Sect elders who were slumped on their knees below, kowtowing and begging for mercy: "First, you said before that you would act as a go-between for the Shanghai Special Bureau."

"Explain the specifics to me."

"Second, there was a case on Dongxing Street where nearly a hundred people were injured or killed that was suppressed. Explain all the details of this case."

Third, your relationship with foreign forces.

Fourth, how much do you know about the mythical islands overseas?

"Now, answer me!"

He Li's voice was calm, revealing no emotion.

But the Yin Xian Sect disciples didn't dare to breathe loudly, afraid that if they made even the slightest noise, He Li would hear them and they would be inexplicably crushed into "sauce".

However, after hearing He Li's question, no matter how terrified they were, they dared not refuse to answer He Li.

After all, not answering means certain death.

The answer suggests there's still a chance of survival.

Thinking of this, the white-robed elder, who appeared to be the Grand Elder, circulated his spiritual energy to calm his emotions and restore his limp body, and said in a trembling voice, "Reporting to... Your Excellency, these matters..."

"I...I understand!"

"The Shanghai Special Affairs Bureau wants us to help them contact Sakura Country to conduct illegal transactions."

"They...they sold some of the anomalies in Shanghai to Sakura for development and use, and...and they also seem to have engaged in some resource transactions."

"I was serving under the sect leader at the time."

"So...so remember!"

Are anomalies being used and developed by Sakura Country?

He Li squinted, his expression unchanged. Yu Ji and Mu Lan, who were still reeling from He Li's brutal massacre of almost the entire Yin Xian Sect, widened their eyes upon hearing this.

I thought that the Shanghai Special Bureau was already incredibly powerful, trading resources with foreign forces.

I never expected them to be so bold...

They even dare to sell outliers?!

How is this any different from selling off national territory?

Don't forget that every spatial anomaly point in the Great Xia is integrated and connected with the local area, and many things there are beneficial to the improvement of local martial artists.

Furthermore, in the future, after thoroughly studying the anomalies, it might even be possible to relocate residents and move them directly into the new locations…

They live a life of farming there.

So your Shanghai Special Affairs Bureau got sold?

They also sell to other countries overseas?

This is selling out our country!

I definitely want to eat peanuts!

Yu Ji and Mu Lan were shocked and confused. Had these people in Shanghai gone mad?

How could they dare to do such a thing?

"Could it be..." After a brief moment of surprise, they quickly realized a possibility: profit. Yes, they must be doing this because they could gain greater benefits.

As for what the greater benefit is?

That's nothing more than refining Qi, cultivating immortality, and achieving longevity!

"The ancestors of the Sakura Kingdom were originally from my Great Xia."

"These ungrateful bastards, if it weren't for the First Emperor being deceived into letting the alchemists take those young boys and girls to sea back then... it's hard to say whether their Ying Kingdom would even exist now."

Mu Lan couldn't help but continue, "The Sakura Kingdom must possess many lost ancient books from the Great Xia Dynasty."

"Among those ancient books..."

"It's possible that it contains records about Qi cultivation."

"Furthermore, in the past, the Sakura Kingdom burned, killed, looted, and took away many of our ancient artifacts in our Great Xia. Now that those ancient artifacts in Great Xia are showing abnormal reactions, they should also have some of them in their possession."

"Perhaps... the benefits they can offer the Shanghai Special Affairs Bureau come from those things..."

As she spoke, He Li nodded slightly.

"Let him finish speaking about the last three things."

"Afterwards... back to the Shanghai Special Affairs Bureau!"

The Shanghai Special Affairs Bureau is undergoing a "blood transfusion".

I was planning to investigate further before making a decision, but now it seems that this matter is urgent.

But... come to think of it, the Shanghai Special Affairs Bureau should have quite a few monsters that have already been contained and are being studied, right? Shouldn't I take the opportunity to eat them all when the time comes?

He Li's lips curled up.

A wicked thought had already begun to stir in his mind...
