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

The martial artists with strange powers that Jiang Han and her companions encountered must be from the five tribes of Shu Prefecture.

They wanted to steal the nine-section jade cong.

That's why he attacked Jiang Han and Lin Fan.

Moreover, those people were skilled in Gu poison.

To ordinary martial artists, their mysterious and unpredictable Gu techniques were naturally quite strange and special, but ultimately those people's plans failed.

Thinking about it, this is actually normal, after all, Lin Fan is nothing in He Li's hands...

It can be placed among ordinary martial artists...

That's top-tier.

If the five tribes of Shu Prefecture hadn't mobilized someone of Lin Fan's caliber, how could they have managed to seize the Nine-Section Jade Cong? As for why they didn't try to seize it themselves but instead sought He Li's help...

The reason for this is that the Nine-Section Jade Cong has now fallen into Jiang Xiong's hands.

Jiang Xiong is not only stronger in combat.

He also held a high position of power.

The five tribes of Shuzhou aren't fools.

How could they be so foolish as to directly rob Jiang Xiong, the director of the Special Affairs Bureau of Shanghai?

Therefore, they could only ask He Li for help. After all, He Li was unparalleled in combat power and fearless. In the eyes of the people of the five tribes of Shu Province, He Li might really be able to snatch back the Nine-Section Jade Cong.

And as it turned out, they were right.

He Li really would go and snatch it.

"The five tribes of Shu Prefecture desire the Nine-Section Jade Cong."

"Jiang Xiong wants it too."

"And if nothing unexpected happens, he must have paid a price to get the Sakura people to give it up."

"He didn't go to get it himself, but instead sent Lin Fan and Jiang Han to escort it. He must have been tied up with something, like what did the five tribes of Shuzhou do after receiving the news?"

"Of course, these things are not important."

"The important question is, what crucial secret does this nine-section jade cong, which they all covet, hold?"

He Li's curiosity was piqued.

As for Jiang Han's claim that Lin Fan, Jiang Xiong, and many other powerful figures appeared on the East Coast?

He Li knew without even thinking that the place was probably where these people conducted illegal transactions. Otherwise, why would these leaders be so bored as to go there to enjoy the sea breeze?

Why are people flocking to enjoy the sea breeze?

He Lizheng was pondering.

Jiang Han couldn't help but ask, "Now...should we just go and capture Jiang Xiong directly?"

"He wanted me to get in touch with you and follow you around, reporting your every move to him. I wasn't willing, and he even threatened me, telling me to consider my family."

"I'm worried about that bastard..."

"Don't rush!" He Li interrupted her, snapping out of her daze.

"Jiang Xiong doesn't have time to deal with your family right now."

He Li chuckled and continued, "Right now, he's probably trying to figure out how to escape from my clutches..."

"That's right!" Yu Ji chimed in from the side, "But if Jiang Xiong wants to survive, there are only two possibilities: either he runs away or he fights desperately. But I think it's unlikely that he'll run away."

"He won't give up his power and status."

"Therefore, he is more likely to fight desperately."

"And judging from his previous performance, he knows that he would never fight you head-on if he is not your match."

"In my opinion, he will most likely try to contact all the forces and organizations that collude with him and unite their strength to deal with your threat."

Yu Ji paused at this point.

After a brief moment of thought...

She continued, "For him to do this kind of thing, he must need a suitable place."

"It's possible... he's already gone to the East Coast, to contact other forces at places that might be used for illegal transactions, and even the leaders there have started to make moves."

He Li's smile widened upon hearing this.

"Contact all the evil forces in Shanghai to deal with me?"

"Hey, that's great!"

"That way, I won't have to run around cleaning up all that junk myself."

As he spoke, Jiang Han whispered, "I...I know you're very powerful, but...but Jiang Xiong might ask a strong person from Yingguo to help."

"We are unaware of the true extent of the power of the Cherry Blossom Kingdom."

"And judging from their previous actions, they could easily send out four experts comparable to those at the Profound Knowledge Realm..."

"There might be some terrifying entity over there."

Jiang Han's eyes were filled with worry.

"You must understand that the Sakura Kingdom has never given up its desire to destroy our Great Xia, and they would be more than happy to kill our Great Xia's genius. If they knew about He Li's terrifying talent..."

"Then they might actually take this opportunity to send their strongest forces to kill He Li."

"Anyway, Jiang Xiong and the others will take the blame..."

"They certainly have no scruples."

Jiang Han is right.

If Jiang Xiong were to tell those despicable people in Sakura about He Li's situation, Sakura would take it seriously and try every means to kill him without Jiang Xiong even needing to stir things up.

However, He Li remained completely calm.

His face was brimming with confidence and arrogance!

"I regard the people of Sakura Country as pigs and dogs!"

"Strong people? In my eyes, they are nothing but ants."

"They'd better really send out their strongest fighter. That way, once I kill that so-called strongest fighter, maybe my hostility towards Sakura Country won't be so strong..."

"At that time, perhaps, maybe, possibly, we'll leave a few of them with their bodies intact on the island."

"Huh?" Jiang Han hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

She really wanted to say that it's wrong to underestimate people.

After all, the world is vast, and many hidden talents exist.

But upon closer reflection, it seems that He Li really has been arrogant from beginning to end without ever getting into any trouble. Maybe... he will be able to suppress the heroes and remain unharmed this time as well.

Jiang Han felt a surge of anticipation.

He Li continued, "Let's go!"

"Jiang Xiong needs time to gather manpower, so let's go to the Special Bureau of Shanghai to deal with the waste first."

"Give him plenty of time!"

"Don't tell him I didn't give him a chance."

The opportunity has been given.

"Let's see if he's any good!"

Good, good, as expected of you. Knowing that the enemy is frantically calling for reinforcements, you don't rush over to stop them immediately, but instead give them time to call for reinforcements, as if you're afraid the enemy won't be able to call for powerful and strong people.

"Just based on that arrogance, I'd give him a score of 8.4, because he really does have a 1.6!"

Gazing at He Li's retreating figure, Jiang Han sighed.

Meanwhile, underwater off the east coast of Shanghai...

"Director Jiang, you'd better really have something to say."

"Otherwise, interrupting my alchemy process will render the materials I've painstakingly collected useless..."

"I will pursue this matter to the end!"

"That's right, Director Jiang. Didn't you say that special investigators from Kyoto have come down to investigate us recently? We've been tightening our operations lately and have suffered considerable losses."

"Now you've suddenly summoned us in an emergency, and we haven't even finished our work yet."

"What about our losses?"

"Yes, Director Jiang..."

Inside a building located underwater, concealed by special means and invisible from any angle, several men, women, and children exuding an astonishing aura began to...

Unfortunately, they hadn't finished speaking.

Jiang Xiong, who was seated at the head of the long table, his face grim, berated him with an even more ferocious expression and tone...

"Alchemy? Losses?"

"What the hell are you talking about when you're trying to refine pills?!"

"You're about to die, why are you still thinking about your worthless pill?"

"Losses? They're all dead! Who are you going to use all that money and resources you've made? Are you going to burn them for your useless descendants during holidays?!"

A low, menacing growl replaced the relaxed atmosphere in the hall with silence and oppression.

The leaders of those factions fell silent.

But his complexion wasn't good either.

Finally, the man with the small mustache in a suit broke the deadlock: "Director Jiang seems to have encountered something serious? Such a loss of composure... the matter must be quite difficult to resolve?"

"Tell me, what exactly happened?"

"As a collaborator and good friend, my country, Sakura, will certainly step in to help Director Jiang solve his problem."

"Solve it?" Jiang Xiong's expression softened slightly.

Then he spoke in a low voice...

"Some of you may not know this yet."

"Just now, the Yin Xian Sect..."

"They've been wiped out!!!"

What?!

Everyone was startled upon hearing Jiang Xiong's words.

"Who did this?" The man with the small mustache from Yingguo also put away his composure and stared at Jiang Xiong with a cold face, then continued, "The Yinxian Sect is a sect that my Yingguo supported."

"Dare to touch them, or you're disrespecting us."

"Regardless of who did it."

"Our Sakura Nation will make him pay the price!!!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiong's lips curled up in a smile.

"Oh? Is that so?" he said with a playful tone.

The man with the mustache said coldly, "Our Sakura Kingdom has countless powerful warriors; we have plenty of manpower to deal with this kind of guy."

"Director Jiang just keeps saying who he is..."

"Afterwards, our Sakura Kingdom will take care of this matter!"

Hearing this, Jiang Xiong's smile widened.

"Okay, his name is He Li!"

"Send someone over there!"
