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

"How dare you, lowly scoundrels of the lower realm, act so presumptuously?!"

Several streaks of light approached from afar, followed by a chilling, low shout that echoed like thunder in all directions.

He Li and the others looked up upon hearing this and saw nearly ten male and female Taoist priests, dressed in robes of various colors, carrying swords, holding whisks, or embracing jade ruyi, hovering in the air.

"A Qi Refiner from the Blazing Sun Sect? You arrived quite quickly."

Upon seeing the Taoists arriving in streaks of light, He Li could guess their identities without even thinking.

As expected, upon seeing these people, the Sword Wind Daoist's face lit up with joy, and he subconsciously spoke up...

"Senior Brother Changshu!!!"

All that could be heard was Sword Wind Taoist's shout.

Upon hearing his words, the middle-aged Taoist priest with graying temples, who was leading the group, looked at him and frowned.

"Sword Wind, you're really getting worse as you get older."

"Just a mere martial artist from the lower realms."

"You, a cultivator at the Core Formation stage... even capable of using the strength of a pseudo-Nascent Soul stage cultivator, were defeated? If it weren't for Junior Sister Bai Jian noticing something amiss and informing me, allowing me to rush here..."

"Are you really going to die at their hands?"

"Hmph, you really are a piece of trash!"

The Taoist Master Changshu spoke very rudely.

Upon hearing this, the joy on Jianfeng Daoren's face vanished instantly, and his expression became somewhat awkward and unnatural.

However, after a brief moment of awkwardness, he seemed to suddenly remember something and hurriedly said, "Senior brother, you must leave quickly! He... you are no match for these people from the lower realms!"

"You all need to leave immediately!!!"

"Once the island is returned to China, be sure to inform the Supreme Elder and the Sect Master, who are from the lower realms..."

Sword Wind Daoist's idea was to remind his fellow disciples and the powerful inner disciples of the Blazing Sun Sect that He Li was not someone they could deal with, and that they should hide immediately.

Then wait for the island to return to the middle realm before reappearing.

We'll tell the sect's higher-ups about it then.

Otherwise, if the sect continues to look down on the lower realms...

They will definitely suffer heavy losses because of He Li, and may even be destroyed by these lower realm warriors.

Unfortunately, he didn't finish his sentence.

He was interrupted by the people behind Daoist Changshu...

"What are you saying, Senior Brother Jianfeng?"

"How can a mere martial artist from the lower realm, even if he possesses some skill or supernatural abilities, compare to us?"

"What does it mean that Senior Brother asserts we are no match for him and even encourages us to run away? What? Does Senior Brother think we are no match for him just because he himself is incompetent and has lost face?"

"So you think Senior Brother Changshu isn't good enough either?"

"Indeed, Sword Wind, why have you gone to such lengths?"

"You mere ant from the lower realm, you must have only been able to defeat you, Senior Brother, by relying on your supernatural powers, right?"

"Heh~ I'm rather curious, what kind of supernatural power could frighten Senior Brother Jianfeng like this? And make him so certain that we are no match for him, even advising us to leave?"

"Want to know? Just try them out!"

"The methods of ants from the lower realms..."

"I'd like to see it for myself!"

Behind Daoist Changshu, the obviously younger cultivators, who seemed to be just talented inner disciples, were talking, completely disregarding He Li and the others.

After all, in their minds, people who practice martial arts in the lower realm are no different from ordinary mortals.

Such people still want to defeat them and cultivate immortality?

Isn't this pure nonsense?

What they can rely on is probably the supernatural powers bestowed upon them by the Heavenly Dao of the lower realm.

However, although supernatural powers are special and powerful, how powerful can the user, a martial artist from the lower realm, really be? Could these elite Qi cultivators not win?

Sword Wind is utterly useless.

That's what they were thinking.

They even looked down on Sword Wind Taoist.

The Taoist priest with the long tree, upon hearing the words of the people behind him, not only did he not advise them to be more vigilant...

He nodded in agreement: "Sword Wind, do you know why, even though you are also at the Core Formation stage, you were only assigned to be a mountain-guarding elder without any real power?"

The reason for this is...

"Although your cultivation level is inferior, your mastery of techniques is too limited, and your combat strength is insufficient to be suitable for an important position."

"What else do you have besides the Yin Fire and the Sword-Nourishing Gourd? We are not the same as you. We are proficient in all kinds of skills, so... don't think that we are the same as you."

"You are far inferior to us!"

"You can't defeat these lower-world ants..."

"It's not worth mentioning at all for us."

"Therefore, there's no need to make a fuss here."

"Once we've dealt with these ants, we'll see how to handle your problem!"

Hearing these words from Daoist Changshu, Daoist Jianfeng's expression on one side of his face grew even uglier.

He didn't mean to look down on his fellow disciples; he genuinely felt that He Liqiang was ridiculously strong. Even when he used his trump card, he couldn't probe He Li's true strength...

I don't want to see everyone wiped out.

That's why I had to bite the bullet and shout and persuade them.

To everyone's surprise, these arrogant fellow disciples, along with the inner disciples who had come with them...

It was one thing for them not to believe him, but to actually mock and ridicule him, the one who had risked his life to warn them? For a moment, Sword Wind Daoist felt an indescribable discomfort.

At the same time, there was also an inexplicable anger rising within me.

"Alright, alright, I warned you, but you wouldn't listen."

"And you even mocked me for being too weak after losing?"

"Fine, since you think you're strong and believe you can defeat these outrageous lower-world beings..."

"Then I, the Daoist, will remain silent. I want to see how you intend to defeat them, especially... how you will defeat this 'monster' comparable to the Nascent Soul stage!"

Sword Wind Taoist thought viciously.

As for Changshu and the others, seeing that Jianfeng Daoren was silent, they stopped mocking him.

They just stared coldly at He Li and the others.

"To be able to defeat Jian Feng, you must have some skill."

"Sending only him is a sign that we underestimated you."

"But... that's enough!"

"You people of the lower realm are nothing but mortal ants, and your lifespan is only a mere hundred or so years."

"But now that you have entered the territory of my Blazing Sun Sect, you have a chance to defy fate. We intend to use your lives and your bodies to avoid the strange calamity of this middle realm."

"At that time, your souls will perish, but your bodies will survive, and you will live for more than a thousand years thereafter."

"Therefore, you should feel honored!"

"You should... bravely face death!"

As he spoke, the other Qi cultivators also wore mocking expressions.

Mu Lan and the others frowned.

Previously, judging from Jianfeng Daoren's attitude, they thought these high and mighty Qi cultivators were too arrogant. Now, seeing the attitude of Changshu Daoren and the others, they realized...

Sword Wind Taoist had already calculated everything.

After all, Sword Wind Daoist at least knew they had some ability and wouldn't ask them to "go to their deaths," but these people... they really treated them like ants, didn't they?

Mu Lan and the others became increasingly annoyed.

The eyes of those people were filled with murderous intent.

Changshu Daoren and the others naturally noticed the cold killing intent on their faces, but they didn't take it seriously.

"What? You ants, you dare to resist?"

The Taoist priest Changshu sneered contemptuously.

Then, he smiled and spoke...

"Since you ants want to play, then let me, your junior brothers and sisters, and the disciples of the sect play with you ignorant ants from the lower realm."

"Let me show you..."

"The gap between you and us!"

After he finished speaking, the others also grinned maliciously.

However, before they could even make a move...

He Li frowned impatiently: "Are all you Qi cultivators like this?"

"They just spout off about being ants in the lower realms..."

"I see how you view the lower realm now..."

"Truly...utterly ignorant!"

Buzz! As he spoke, He Li's golden eyes emitted a terrifying golden spiritual energy that was visible to the naked eye, enveloping the Changshu Daoist and the others opposite him as if the sky were collapsing.

Feeling the heavy, oppressive force that pressed down from all directions, making it hard for them to breathe, the expressions of the cultivators behind Daoist Changshu changed drastically.

The Taoist Changshu's pupils also contracted.

He Li's power is similar to that of a cultivator's divine sense...

It seems... that's gone too far!

Even he doesn't have that much power, so what's the deal with this lowly ant from the lower realm?

Daoist Changshu was alarmed, but sensing the force that was about to crush them approaching, he had no time to think and quickly formed hand seals to cast a spell to resist the force...

hum! ! !

As he cast his spell, in an instant, a semi-transparent, blood-red phantom of a half-human, half-dragon monster appeared on his body, and the crushing force of his spiritual power also paused slightly at this moment.

Taking this opportunity, Daoist Changshu whispered...

"You all retreat immediately!!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, and while the others took the opportunity to retreat and flee in panic, He Li frowned slightly. Instantly, an even stronger spiritual power gathered and crushed them...

Snap!

In an instant, the terrified Changshu Daoist, sensing death, was crushed to pieces!
