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

Jiang Han and Jiang Xiong had a falling out.

In the air, He Li had a half-smile on his face.

He has amazing insight and keen hearing.

He had already noticed Jiang Han's arrival.

However, his attention was focused on the elder from the Yinxian Sect who was answering the question, so he didn't pay any attention to her. But He Li heard her entire conversation with Jiang Xiong.

Even though Jiang Han was unaware of the situation, she could still detect something was wrong from Jiang Xiong's strange attitude...

He Li naturally understood that Jiang Xiong's strong reaction was definitely due to fear.

I'm afraid, at this very moment...

Jiang Xiong is trying to find a way to save himself.

"I just don't know how he'll save himself. Will he try to escape Shanghai and even the entire Great Xia? Or... will he unite with various forces or seek help from foreign powers?"

He Li guessed with a smile.

Meanwhile, the elder from the Yin Xian Sect below was still frantically answering He Li's previous questions...

"As for the incident in Dongxing Street... all I know is that the sect leader recruited the disciples for them at the request of Yingguo, and it seems that the murders of the residents of Dongxing Street were also committed by those disciples."

"I don't know what Sakura Country did..."

"Turn those people into something neither human nor ghost."

"They are ruthless and only obey orders..."

"But those disciples who were sent to Sakura Country and underwent transformation are all extremely powerful..."

"The reason that case was suppressed was due to the efforts of many powerful figures in Shanghai, including the Shanghai Special Affairs Bureau. They... they must have all received benefits from Japan."

Hearing this, He Li frowned.

Yu Ji whispered from the side, "As far as I know, there are many inhumane and evil sects in Ying Kingdom."

"It's possible that the people Yin Xian sent were used by the people of Yingguo for experiments, in an attempt to recreate those strange and legendary powers in the current era of spiritual energy."

He Li nodded slightly without saying a word.

He had a vague guess about this.

After the elder of the Yinxian Sect finished speaking, he brought up the last two questions He Li had asked earlier...

"As for our relationship with foreign forces..."

"The only country that's related to us is Sakura Country."

At this point, the elder seemed to realize that being a lackey of the Sakura Kingdom wasn't so honorable, and lowered his head even further, saying, "The reason why our Yinxian Sect was able to rise to prominence is..."

"Actually, it was funded by the Sakura Kingdom."

"Even before the appearance of spiritual energy, the Sakura Kingdom... the Sakura Kingdom had designs on many forces in the Demon City."

"We should just be one of them."

"And those overseas fairy mountains..."

"The sect leader once mentioned that the Sakura Kingdom seems to want to reach the overseas immortal mountain to find something, and... and they seem to have known all along that the overseas immortal mountain would appear."

"I don't know about the rest..."

"Oh, and also, the people of Sakura seem to be particularly interested in exploring the 'Seaside Ruins'."

The ruins by the sea? Why the suspicion?

He turned to look at Yu Ji beside him.

The latter responded: "The Linhai Ruins are an anomaly, and also the place where clues about Qi cultivators were discovered in Shanghai. That place is said to be far larger than other spatial anomalies in Shanghai."

"And it's very dangerous inside."

"That place has been there for more than six months."

"But even now, it seems that the Shanghai Special Bureau has not yet fully explored that anomaly."

"Those guys from Sakura Country that we saw at the airport earlier should be some of the personnel sent by the Shanghai Special Bureau to participate in the exploration in cooperation with Sakura Country."

As he spoke, Yu Ji paused slightly.

After checking some information on my wristwatch...

She then continued speaking...

"That site is very special. Although the Shanghai Special Bureau has ulterior motives, they are not so stupid as to be beyond redemption. Therefore, they have always kept that place under their control and have not handed it over."

"I see!" He Li nodded.

Seeing this, the Yin Xian Sect member suppressed his fear, mustered his courage, looked up at He Li, and spoke in a trembling voice...

"Sir...sir!"

"I have answered your question honestly."

"You are...can you spare me...No, no, I know our sins are unforgivable. I don't ask for your forgiveness, I only ask...please let us face the judgment of the law..."

"The law?" He Li interrupted him with a cold laugh.

"Now you know the laws of the Great Xia Dynasty?"

"When you were acting as lackeys of the Sakura Kingdom, aiding and abetting evil, and harming people everywhere, did you never think about the existence of the law? Ha, now that you know you're about to die, you talk to me about the law?"

"Want to die comfortably? At least leave with a complete corpse?"

"Heh, dream on!!!"

As soon as the cold voice rang out, the elders of the Yinxian Sect and the other sect leaders paled and opened their mouths in terror to beg for mercy, but before they could utter a word, He Li had already delivered the killing blow...

Crunch! Plop!

Accompanied by the sound, an invisible spiritual force ruthlessly twisted the bodies of these high-ranking members of the Yin Xian Sect.

As their bones and flesh were forcibly twisted like clothes, causing excruciating pain that penetrated to the bone marrow, the high-ranking members of the Yin Xian Sect were in so much pain that their veins bulged and their faces contorted.

They wanted to scream but couldn't, and could only die in despair as their flesh and bones were twisted and burst open.

However, after they die.

Mu Lan suddenly remembered something...

"Oops! I shouldn't have killed them so quickly."

"It seems their sect leader isn't here."

"That guy was the ringleader. We forgot to ask him where he was, which is why he escaped."

She couldn't help but look at He Li.

The latter shrugged: "I did forget, but it's okay. If I didn't ask them when they were alive, I can still ask them when they're dead!" It's worth noting that He Li still has the Hungry Ghost Vision.

So what if you die?

You can also interrogate someone by capturing their consciousness.

However, he hadn't even had a chance to exert his strength yet.

On the road below, Jiang Han, who seemed to have vaguely heard Mu Lan's words, tentatively called out...

"I...I might know..."

"Where is the leader of the Yin Xian Sect?!"

"Oh?" He Li looked at her upon hearing this.

Immediately, Jiang Han's body, uncontrollably enveloped by spiritual energy, floated in front of He Li.

"Where?" Yu Ji asked, somewhat suspiciously.

She and Mu Lan were still somewhat wary.

They were surprised to see Jiang Han there, and they couldn't understand why Jiang Han, an investigator from the Shanghai Special Affairs Bureau, would suddenly come to help them, these outside "enemies".

Jiang Han doesn't have time to explain right now.

She simply said, "If I'm not mistaken, the leader of the Yinxian Sect should be at the Valley of Ten Thousand Medicines right now."

"Before you arrived, investigators from the bureau were already assigned to Wanyao Valley to assist the two factions of martial artists in dealing with the strange occurrences at Wanyao Valley and harvesting certain spiritual plants..."

After saying that, she immediately changed the subject.

"Let's put that aside for now. I actually have something more important to tell you..."

"Jiang Xiong's matter?" He Li asked with a smile.

Jiang Han was visibly taken aback upon hearing this.

But thinking of He Li's supernatural abilities, he immediately guessed that He Li must have used some kind of supernatural power to find out about his falling out with Jiang Xiong, so he nodded.

"Yes, Jiang Xiong has a problem."

"Although I don't know how much you know."

"But I can talk about what I know."

After taking a deep breath, Jiang Han said, "As far as I know, Jiang Xiong... to be precise, should be our Shanghai Special Affairs Bureau, and he's connected with the three major families, foreign forces, and nearby sects..."

"There are shady dealings involved."

"Not only are the three major families frequently able to obtain valuable martial arts manuals from the Special Affairs Bureau..."

"Many precious resources from the outside world have inexplicably appeared in the hands of the three major families and the disciples of those sects..." He Li waved his hand after she finished speaking.

"We are aware of these things."

"Let's talk about something more important."

"For example, Jiang Xiong selling anomaly points to foreign forces?"

Huh? Jiang Han's eyelids twitched violently upon hearing this.

Anomalies in sales? She really didn't know.

However, He Li's mention of this matter suddenly reminded Jiang Han of something she had unexpectedly discovered...

"The important thing... Speaking of which, I once carried out a special escort mission with Lin Fan, and we encountered martial artists from other states who possessed strange powers along the way."

"During the fight with those people, I unexpectedly noticed that what they were escorting looked like...an artifact?"

Jiang Han frowned.

"However, something's a bit strange."

"That mission wasn't in the mission log. I asked Lin Fan at the time, and he said it was deleted due to a system error, and that Jiang Xiong personally came to collect the items."

"He seems to value that thing a lot."

"Later, I felt something was off, but I didn't press the matter further..."

"Also, Lin Fan used to be difficult to contact."

"I've contacted him twice."

"But I discovered he was all on the East Coast, and... and there were other sects and families there, even Jiang Xiong. I have a feeling something is hidden there..."

Hearing her words, He Li smiled.

Yu Ji's eyes also lit up.

If nothing unexpected happens...

The artifact that Jiang Han mentioned...

It's a nine-section jade cong!!!
