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

"It's...it's gone! It's gone!!!"

"Elder, save me! Elder, save me!!!"

The two children's voices were filled with terror.

They lost their bodies.

Holding them in someone's hands, powerless to resist, they could only frantically beg Jianfeng Daoren for help.

At this moment, they realized that the complicated expressions and sighs of Wu Qiu and the others earlier were not because they were afraid of them, the Qi cultivators.

Those people would look like that...

It's simply because those people know that the targets they've set their sights on are beyond their ability to handle.

Those people sigh because they lamented how stupid they were and how they had messed up.

It's too late to realize it now.

They lost their bodies and were powerless to resist.

They could only turn to Sword Wind Taoist for help.

Seeing their panicked and terrified expressions, He Li and the others were actually quite surprised.

"He's still not dead after his head was removed?"

"These Qi cultivators are indeed quite problematic. Could it be that they're in a similar situation to that dragon from before? Have they all turned into zombie-like living dead?"

He Li pondered to himself.

Then he couldn't help but look Mu Lan up and down.

It was Mu Lan who made the move just now.

Her speed was still ridiculously fast, even though He Li's cultivation level had already broken through.

With the help of the demon core, Mu Lan's speed increased even more ridiculously after activating her divine power. In terms of speed, He Li found that he still couldn't keep up with her.

And now, Mu Lan...

It's not just about speed anymore.

She possessed even greater destructive power; those two boys, though not Qi Refiners at the Core Formation stage...

But their strength is not weak either.

They were roughly equivalent to the previous Ku Rongzi, but Mu Lan removed their heads without any resistance, and at first, neither of the two boys even realized what was happening.

Until Mu Lan stopped...

They didn't realize what had happened until they looked down and saw that their bodies were gone.

Such expressiveness...

Comparable to a top-tier investigator is no problem at all.

Of course, it was quite unexpected that He Li was excluded.

The others present were even more shocked, because neither Wu Qiu, the Kyoto team, nor Yu Qingge had expected Mu Lan to be so powerful.

"This person...I've never heard of him before!"

"Where did she come from?"

"How could it be so... fast?"

Ye Wentian couldn't help but speak.

Zhang Taixu continued, "As far as I know, she seems to be an investigator from Bacheng in Shuzhou."

"He was He Li's senior before... no, now he should be considered his partner... tsk, as expected of partners from the same place, they are both very capable."

"At that speed, it's impossible to see!"

"I heard that He Li has a partner."

"I wonder what kind of strength that person possesses..."

He spoke with a mixture of surprise and admiration.

The others also showed slight changes in expression.

After all, even He Li couldn't see Mu Lan's speed clearly, so naturally no one else present could either. Now, after hearing Zhang Taixu's words, they couldn't help but overthink it.

Especially Chu Aotian's squad.

Before coming to Shanghai, they were all arrogant and thought they were the chosen ones of their time.

After arriving in Shanghai, they were overwhelmed by He Li, discovered Zhang Taixu who was no weaker than them, saw Yu Qingge who gave them a sense of danger, and now they have discovered Mu Lan who is even stronger...

These are all their peers.

The most fatal thing is...

Judging from Zhang Taixu's words, there might be other peers who are no weaker than them, or even stronger.

How can Chu Aotian and the others be proud now?

"How come I never noticed this before..."

"Is the Great Xia Dynasty full of geniuses?"

"And some... are even stronger than us?"

"We have family backing, but who...who's backing these people?"

They couldn't help but think.

Then, the more I thought about it, the more upset I became.

Of course, aside from He Li's surprise at Mu Lan's performance, the Sword Wind Daoist opposite him was also staring with his single eye at the faint blue lines appearing on his face...

Mu Lan, who had used the power of the demon core, showed a hint of surprise on her still fleshy face.

"Golden Core? It seems familiar."

"This is... Yin Yunzi's Golden Core?"

"You youngsters are quite capable."

Then, Sword Wind Taoist spoke.

His voice was calm and composed, revealing no emotion.

Mu Lan, who was closest to him, sneered.

"You can recognize her? That's good. But tell me, where can you still contact Dingfengxian?"

She stared at Sword Wind Taoist and asked.

The latter, unhurried, simply smiled and said, "Feng Dingxian? It seems you're quite eager to retrieve the demon core from your body? Why are you so reluctant when you're clearly using the power from that demon core?"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Mu Lan said impatiently.

Sword Wind Taoist's smile remained unchanged.

"You people from the lower realms are truly strange."

"That power I've always dreamed of is right here within me, and I'm using it very well, yet I have to abandon it..."

"However, if you want to know how to contact Dingfeng Xian again, I can tell you, but the premise is... you must have the strength to make me speak."

"You...or, all of you..."

"Is there?"

boom!!!

As the questioning ended, in an instant, a terrifying aura erupted from Sword Wind Daoist, and that aura even formed a visible scarlet, distorted ghost face behind him.

Upon seeing this, the spirit of Qingyang Mountain's facial features changed...

"Yuan... Nascent Soul?!?"

"No, this is... a fake baby?"

"That's not right either. You... you're clearly only at the late stage of Core Formation, how could you have improved so much?"

The spirit of Qingyang Mountain asked in surprise.

Sword Wind Daoist laughed heartily: "Qingyang, Qingyang, you ultimately lacked that luck. If you hadn't been so unlucky as to be suddenly dragged down to that lower realm..."

"Perhaps you too will have this opportunity!"

"No, that's not right!"

"You are different from us; you are a mountain spirit."

"You are a spirit born of this world; perhaps you have... the opportunities you can obtain are greater than ours."

"It's just a pity that you weren't lucky enough to have that opportunity."

That person has already left.

"Even if you wanted to come, you can't!"

Hmm? Judging from what Sword Wind Daoist said, it seems that some extraordinary being has arrived at the Blazing Sun Sect. That guy not only turned the overseas immortal mountain into its current state...

They also gave special opportunities and powers to people like Sword Wind Taoist or the dragon outside.

They turned into this...

A state similar to that of a zombie or the undead.

He Li was a little curious.

Who is the being that Sword Wind Daoist is referring to? Could that thing also be from the Upper Realm?

This power, capable of turning living beings into a state of half-life and half-death, rendering them immune to lifespan and most attacks, must be... even those so-called immortals and gods of the previous realm...

Not everyone can do that, right?

Perhaps it was that person who came to the Blazing Sun Sect and gave Sword Wind Daoist and the others "opportunity"...

Not only beings from the upper realm.

Or perhaps, it's a very high-level existence!

Thinking about this...

While He Li was curious about the other party, he also became somewhat wary. After all, those beings in the Upper Realm, even those at the level of Dingfeng Xian, were incredibly strong.

That kind is superior to Dingfengxian...

It's simply unbelievable!

However, since Sword Wind Daoist knows some clues about that thing, why not just...

How can we get more information out of him?

A slight smile appeared on He Li's lips.
