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

The dignified Grand Elder of the Blazing Sun Sect...

A Qi Refiner who has reached the Nascent Soul stage!

If he were to unleash his trump cards, his strength might even rival that of a Nascent Soul stage Qi Refiner...

So it just disappeared like that?

Staring blankly at the high platform, at the last glimmer of light remaining in the void as the spell gradually collapsed due to the caster's death, and then at the pile of broken bones and blood that were no longer human...

At this moment, all the disciples and elders of the Blazing Sun Sect, including Sect Master Yun Yi, were in a state of shock.

How did things turn out this way?

How could the Grand Elder have been killed?

Normally, shouldn't the Grand Elder easily subdue this group of people from the lower realm?

Even if these people have some tricks up their sleeves, the Grand Elder should be able to handle and subdue them, after all, they are Qi Refiners, cultivators, and immortals!

Those people from the lower realms are nothing but warriors...

They're nothing but ants!

But now the result is that the Grand Elder was instantly killed.

The Grand Elder didn't even have a chance to use his trump card and demonstrate strength comparable to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator...

He was killed by He Li.

The disciples of the Blazing Sun Sect could not accept or understand it. They looked at He Li and the others in the sky with shock, panic, and fear, and hastily drew their swords and retreated away.

While speaking, they didn't forget to plead for help from the sect leader and the other shocked elders present...

"The...the Grand Elder is dead!!!"

"The thief is fierce! Everyone, retreat immediately!!!"

"Damn it, how can someone who's clearly a lowly martial artist from the lower realm, an ant-like being, be so powerful?"

"Supernatural power! It must be supernatural power!"

"Yes, yes, it must be a powerful supernatural ability. Otherwise, how could these ants from the lower realms possibly kill us cultivators? Without supernatural abilities, they are just mortals..."

"No wonder you dared to appear so arrogantly in front of us; it turns out you're relying on your powerful supernatural abilities?"

"Sect Master, Elders, let's make our move!"

"These people from the lower realms cannot be allowed to live!"

"They're too dangerous. If we let them run rampant, who knows how many of our fellow disciples will die!"

"Indeed, we must also find out their way into our Middle Realm and completely destroy it. We must never allow these warriors from the lower realms to run rampant in our Middle Realm again..."

The disciples shouted in panic.

On the high platform, the elders all looked grim.

The Grand Elder was instantly killed.

The disciples are still sending them to fight? Their combat strength is not even as good as the Grand Elder who was just killed.

They didn't want to rush over and get killed by He Li.

But they couldn't just ignore it...

After all, the disciples were looking forward to it.

With no other option, they could only look to their sect leader, Yunyi, for advice, despite the pressure.

Sect Master Yun Yi's face was ashen. The reason he had directly ordered the Grand Elder to take action was because he was cautious and did not easily underestimate his enemies.

Considering that people like He Li from the lower realms must have some extraordinary means to be able to come to the middle realm.

Add to that the betrayal of Bai Jian and Qingyang Mountain Spirit...

Out of caution, he did not let the other elders take action, but instead had the strongest elder below him make the move.

He felt he had overestimated He Li and his group.

Who knows, or maybe we underestimated it?

And it is a serious underestimation.

If an existence of the Grand Elder's level can kill the leader of the lower realm martial artists in an instant, wouldn't this group of lower realm martial artists also have a chance of winning against his sect leader Yun Yi?

Is he also at risk of being killed?

Yunyi felt increasingly threatened as he thought about it, and he was trying to figure out how to handle the situation.

Unexpectedly, the elders behind him suddenly spoke up...

"Sect Master, what should we do now?"

"These people from the lower realms are no ordinary beings. Even the Grand Elder has been killed, and we probably can't handle them. Perhaps... Sect Master, you could personally try to subdue them?"

Upon hearing this, Yunyi's eyes twitched slightly.

He felt like cursing.

"You know the Grand Elder got instantly killed and didn't dare go up, so you started encouraging me to go up and take his place?"

"Am I not afraid?"

"Although the Grand Elder is weaker than me, he's not that much weaker. The opponent killed the Grand Elder without even blinking. If I, who's not much stronger than the Grand Elder, went up there, wouldn't I just be feeding him?"

"These damn idiots..."

"When it comes to competing for interests, everyone rushes to be the first."

"Does the danger make you more accommodating?"

"If we manage to get through this danger, I'll definitely settle accounts with you fools!!!"

Yunyi thought angrily.

However, since these cowardly elders had already spoken, how could the sect leader back down, especially in front of so many disciples of the Blazing Sun Sect?

He has a sense of shame.

So, having no other choice, Sect Master Yunyi had to steel himself and look up to meet He Li's gaze.

Perhaps he thought of something.

He suddenly squinted and spoke...

"You mortal, you do have some skill."

"Considering your considerable strength, I, the sect master, can give you a chance now. If you are willing to join my sect, I will not hold your killing of the Grand Elder against you."

"Not only that, this sect master can also appoint you as the new Grand Elder of the Blazing Sun Sect."

"One can also obtain many resources."

"Those resources are certainly something your barren lower realm, which only absorbs scraps of spiritual energy from the middle realm, lacks. What do you think? This sect master sees some potential in you..."

That's why I'm willing to take such good care of you.

"If you don't want to..."

Yun Yi coldly said, "If you are unwilling, then this sect master can no longer allow you to live."

"A mortal like you, possessing such powerful supernatural abilities, will inevitably remain our enemy if you cannot be of use to us. Since you are an enemy, it is best to deal with you as soon as possible!"

As he spoke, a faint smile appeared on his face.

Now, give me your answer.

"He has become a disciple of my Blazing Sun Sect..."

"Or... prepare to die?"

As he spoke, his left hand, which was behind his back, silently made a hand seal and performed some kind of magic. Upon hearing this, the expressions of the Blazing Sun Sect disciples and elders changed drastically.

Without waiting for He Li's response, they couldn't help but start advising Yun Yi not to do that...

"Sect Master, you mustn't do this!!!"

"Those from the lower realms harbor wolves' ambitions; to invite them into my Blazing Sun Sect is to invite wolves into the house!"

"They will definitely take this opportunity to harm the sect's interests, use it to strengthen themselves, and then retaliate against us. Sect Master, please think it over carefully. These people from the lower realms really cannot be accepted into the sect!"

"Indeed, Sect Master, you must be cautious!"

"You should know that these people from the lower realm have just killed the Grand Elder..."

"If we take him into our sect and provide him with resources, he'll grow stronger and uncontrollable... Then, wouldn't it be incredibly easy for him to take revenge on us?"

"Sect Master, you mustn't be so foolish!!!"

Everyone started talking at once.

Yunyi appeared calm on the surface, but inwardly he was cursing furiously.

"You bunch of idiots! I'm the sect leader. Do you think I'm as stupid as you think to have gotten to this position?"

"I'm just stalling for time!"

"Don't you understand the concept of stalling for time? Didn't you see that I just used a spell to notify the Supreme Elder to come? As long as the Supreme Elder arrives and joins forces with me, we can deal with them."

"Before this... I was alone, and taking action was too risky; I could easily die."

"This sect leader hasn't lived enough yet!"

While cursing under his breath, Yunyi was also afraid that these fools would ruin things, so he turned his head slightly to give the elders a wink and secretly used magic to transmit his thoughts to them.

After hearing Yunyi's plan, the elders who had been earnestly trying to persuade him fell silent.

They immediately turned to look at He Li...

"You lowly ants from the lower realm, didn't you hear your sect leader's words?"

The Second Elder, who was leading the group, coldly questioned He Li with an arrogant tone: "Although you killed the First Elder, our Sect Master is magnanimous and willing to give you a chance."

"What are you still doing there?"

"Give me a reply immediately!"

"If you don't respond coldly, it will be considered a tacit refusal, and the sect leader will personally eliminate you!"

"Not bad!" The other elders, especially the tenth elder Caiming who spoke first, also began to sneer and echo: "It is indeed impressive that you people from the lower realms can kill the Grand Elder."

"But don't think you can act with impunity."

"The Grand Elder is not the strongest in the Blazing Sun Sect."

"My Blazing Sun Sect has plenty of powerful experts."

"If you know what's good for you, obediently bow your heads. Just as the sect leader said, my Blazing Sun Sect is willing to give you a chance."

"So that you too can become cultivators!"

"But what if you don't know what's good for you..."

"They will die without a burial place!"

As she spoke, the elders, who had been somewhat flustered, stared at He Li and the others with a mixture of amusement and anticipation, as if they were already waiting for their Supreme Elder to arrive.

Upon hearing these words, He Licai, who had been clearly lost in thought, snapped back to reality with a half-smile...
