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

A true opponent at the Nascent Soul stage?

Hearing Wu Di's words, He Li understood.

The reason he dared to confront me was because he had brought a powerful ally...

No, wait a minute.

The inner island of the Blazing Sun Sect should not have any Nascent Soul stage cultivators, right? This can be understood from the fact that when He Li swept through the inner island, no strong individuals emerged.

But can Wu Di find a Nascent Soul stage expert?

That powerful figure was probably not a Qi cultivator from the Blazing Sun Sect.

The other party won't appear out of thin air.

In other words, the Nascent Soul stage expert that Wu Di found was most likely a powerful figure he had brought over from the Middle Realm to help him after returning from the sea.

In other words, the passage connecting the two worlds must be hidden on this island.

And the shaman not only knew...

He also knew this passage inside and out!

Thinking of this, He Lin was overjoyed, and the smile on his face became much brighter.

This aroused suspicion from the opposing shaman.

He couldn't understand what was going on with He Li. He knew that He Li had brought a Nascent Soul stage being to deal with him. He was confident in his strength and not afraid, but at least he should be wary, right?

As a result, he was not alert at all.

She was smiling especially brightly.

What's going on? Could it be that he doesn't even care about Nascent Soul stage cultivators?

The shaman didn't understand, but he was secretly on guard.

He didn't want to die at He Li's hands.

So he took two steps back.

As he retreated, the Nascent Soul stage expert whom Wu Di had summoned from the Middle Realm to help him also slowly and silently floated out from the dark passage behind Wu Di...

"That Nascent Soul stage expert is also a zombie!"

Before He Li could even get a clear look at the Nascent Soul stage expert, the spirit of Qingyang Mountain behind him suddenly spoke.

Zombies? He Li looked up upon hearing this...

Sure enough, the Nascent Soul stage expert who floated out from behind Wu Di was pale and bloodless, with bloodshot eyes that made him look like a normal creature.

Besides... this thing isn't human either.

He only resembles a human in appearance and facial features.

But it has a pair of antennae on its forehead.

Moreover, his legs resembled the long hooves of some wild animals, and He Li even saw a faint luster on the other's face, resembling the scales of a snake or fish.

"Strange?" He Li muttered subconsciously.

The shaman opposite him sneered, "Not bad."

"This is a Scaled Demon. Compared to human Qi cultivators of the same level, he is much stronger."

"Hmph, your strength is only comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator..."

"And this Scaled Monster is a genuine Nascent Soul stage cultivator."

"And it's even stronger than a typical Nascent Soul stage cultivator."

"Add to that his supernatural powers, and the immortality bestowed upon him by a powerful being from the upper realm, do you really think... you, a mere martial artist from the lower realm, can defeat him?"

Seeing that He Li remained silent, the cold smile on his face was replaced by a hint of smugness and mockery.

Do you feel anxious?

"Ha, if only I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place."

"If you cooperate honestly, you will not only avoid dealing with the treacherous and cunning, but you will also receive countless benefits."

"Unfortunately, you made the wrong choice after all!"

"And I won't give you a second chance."

"But you won't really die..."

His smile was strange: "You seem to be cultivating some special method, which is why you have an aura similar to that of a god, right? But you probably don't possess the power that a true god has."

"Someone like you is very rare."

"If I turn you into a living dead... and give you a new life so I can take you under my control..."

"Then I might produce a true god among my subordinates in the future."

"Tsk~ Wait until then..."

The shaman didn't continue, but the flame of ambition burning in his eyes revealed his thoughts; what if he really subdued the reborn who had become the living dead...?

It's safe to say that this guy will definitely not stay obediently as a follower of the immortals and gods of the upper realm.

He might even target those immortals and gods.

They could even replace them directly.

Of course, that's after Wu Dizhen can defeat He Li with the help of Lin Gui. Right now... it's still hard to say whether Lin Gui can defeat He Li.

Wu Di, of course, understood that he could not let his guard down until the results were in, so he said no more.

He only stared at the indifferent He Li...

He then growled, "Do it! Kill him!!!"

"Roar!!!" As Wu Di gave the order, the scaly, scarlet eyes of the monster shone brightly, and with a low roar, his figure instantly disappeared from the spot and reappeared behind He Li.

Faced with an existence of this caliber, Mu Lan, who was standing beside him, knew she couldn't help and quickly distanced herself.

However, she didn't run away.

Her speed was comparable to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Even if Lin Gui wanted to kill her, it would take him a lot of effort.

Therefore, she wasn't being targeted by the Scaled Demon at this moment...

They set their sights on Wudi.

Relying on her incredible speed, she appeared behind Wu Di in an instant, giving him no time to react, and thrust her spear fiercely into his back, intending to kill him.

Unfortunately, although Wu Di was not as fast as Mu Lan, her strength was still formidable.

In addition, there's the ability of immortality...

Mu Lan's attack had little effect on him.

However... we are being attacked frequently...

Wu Di had no choice but to deal with it, otherwise his body would be riddled with holes by Mu Lan. While dealing with it, he didn't forget to utter some vicious threats...

"You damned, annoying mosquito, after Lin Gui takes care of him, it'll be your turn!"

"I will tear you to pieces then!!!"

The shaman's voice was icy.

Mu Lan had no intention of responding.

She just kept stabbing at the witch relentlessly.

Meanwhile, Lin Gui appeared behind He Li at lightning speed. With a wave of his hand, spiritual energy seemed to be circulating, as if he was preparing some kind of magic. He Li could clearly feel the scorching power behind him.

However, he remained calm.

He will not be injured as long as he stands on the ground, or as long as any part of his body is connected to the earth.

as predicted……

Bang! ! !

A terrifying hand, radiating intense heat and seemingly capable of molten iron, struck He Li's back with a resounding thud, yet He Li remained standing motionless.

This situation left not only Wu Di, who was watching the battle and dealing with Mu Lan from a distance, completely bewildered.

It was that Scaled Demon himself...

A hint of astonishment flashed in his bloodshot eyes.

Clearly, he hadn't expected that his powerful palm strike, amplified by magic, wouldn't cause He Li any harm or even leave a mark on him.

This is too outrageous.

"He... withstood the attack from the Scaled Demon unscathed???"

"How is this possible?!?"

When he came to his senses, the shaman was shocked.

He instinctively cried out in alarm, which drew a sneer from Mu Lan, who was frantically tearing holes in his body: "How ignorant! Why do you think he sees everyone as trash?"

"Because none of you can hurt him!"

"A Nascent Soul stage expert?"

"So what if you're at the Nascent Soul stage? That's ridiculous. Don't even mention the mere Nascent Soul stage expert you brought..."

"Even those chaotic gods and immortals of the upper realm might not be able to shake him, and you... bring this mere Nascent Soul stage monster here and think you can defeat him?"

"I think you should just wash up and go to bed!"

"You..." Wu Di was furious upon hearing this.

But deep down, he had a bad feeling.

Since Mu Lan spoke with such certainty, it means that even if He Li wasn't as outrageous as she claimed, he could at least easily withstand the attacks of a Nascent Soul stage expert.

Even a Nascent Soul stage expert couldn't kill him.

Conversely...

A Nascent Soul stage expert would only be beaten in front of him, with no chance of winning whatsoever.

If that's the case, what else can he expect?

Wait until He Lizhen kills Lin Gui in return...

Shouldn't it be his turn then?

Wu Di became increasingly anxious and impatient with Mu Lan's persistent, mosquito-like attacks. He was already considering whether he should just abandon Lin Gui and run away.

Meanwhile, He Li, having withstood the attack from the Scaled Demon, suddenly turned around...

call! ! !

As he opened his mouth, a thick, gray mist immediately gushed out and quickly enveloped the surroundings, but the scaled monster showed no intention of avoiding it or even caring.

Because he didn't feel threatened by the fog.

It seems that the fog is harmless!

Of course, the Wudi also vaguely saw that the Scaled Demon was completely unharmed despite being shrouded in mist.

He initially thought He Li's attack was ineffective, and that He Li's defense was simply strong, making the battle even more interesting. However, as the mist spread over, his expression changed.

Because he discovered...

This fog is affecting the flow of spiritual energy.

His spells were no longer flowing smoothly!

"The Qi of Yin and filth?!?"

Realizing what was happening, Wu Di's eyelids twitched wildly, and ignoring Mu Lan's frantic attempts to stab his kidneys, he turned and ran!
