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

"What's the harm in calling in reinforcements?"

"So what if there are more people?"

"They thought they could take me down just because there were more of them."

"Heh, what good ideas are you having?"

As the roar gradually subsided, He Li's piercing laughter rang out from behind Yun Yi.

But Yunyi didn't turn around. He just stared, sweating profusely, at the broken longsword in his hand and the Bloodfire Wheel, which was still spinning rapidly and radiating a scorching heat, right next to him.

If this thing were moved a little further forward...

They would simply sever his fine head, and he would have no way to stop them.

At that moment, he was truly afraid.

After all, he had just escaped death.

While filled with fear and lingering dread, he also harbored resentment and anger towards the Supreme Elder not far away, believing that the Supreme Elder had truly betrayed the Blazing Sun Sect.

He barely managed to calm down, suppressing his anger as he stiffly turned to look at the Supreme Elder to the side...

When he saw the Supreme Elder's blank, seemingly dazed look, he realized something was wrong.

Perhaps it wasn't the Supreme Elder who betrayed him.

But He Li is simply too strong.

He controlled the Bloodfire Wheel, and no matter how hard the Supreme Elder tried to regain control of the Bloodfire Wheel and attack He Li, he couldn't do so.

In other words, it wasn't the Supreme Elder who controlled the Bloodfire Wheel to ambush him just now, so what makes sense!

Think of it...

He couldn't help but turn to look at He Li again: "You... how exactly did you do that?"

"The Supreme Elder's magic weapon..."

"How...how do you manage to control yourself?"

He finally asked the question.

The other disciples and elders of the Blazing Sun Sect who were being controlled by He Li also pricked up their ears when they heard Yun Yi's question, wanting to hear how He Li would answer Yun Yi.

But He Li grinned and said, "Why? Because I'm strong. Is that answer satisfactory?"

Because you're strong?

Yunyi's eye twitched slightly.

The others were also cursing inwardly.

What's the difference between saying this and not saying anything at all?

Who doesn't know you're strong?

The question is about what makes you so powerful... what exactly is your ability to control magical artifacts!

Judging from He Li's appearance, it was clearly unlikely that he would reveal this to them.

No matter how curious they are, there's nothing they can do.

He Lin's ability to control the magic weapon ultimately stems from the power he gained after devouring the Ten Horns, one of the five elements being the ability to control metallic objects.

No matter how powerful the magic weapon of the Supreme Elder of the Blazing Sun Sect is, it is ultimately made of metal.

As long as it's metal...

He Li can control it; the only question is who has stronger control. If the owner of the magic weapon has stronger control, then He Li naturally cannot manipulate the magic weapon.

Conversely, the Supreme Elder had weaker control, which is why He Li was able to manipulate the Bloodfire Wheel.

But he wouldn't say much about these things.

After all, there are too many powerful beings in the middle realm.

In addition, there are those beings from the upper realm watching...

It's best not to reveal the details of your abilities; keeping the enemy guessing is the most advantageous approach. If you reveal everything, it will reach the ears of those formidable enemies you'll face later...

If they are on guard, that ability is rendered useless.

He Li pondered this in his heart.

His gaze, however, fell upon Yun Yi and the others…

"Alright, enough with the nonsense."

"From this moment forward, your Blazing Sun Sect will be officially taken over by us from the lower realm, and as for you... as I said before, it's time to send you on your way."

He said with a smile.

Those disciples and elders of the Blazing Sun Sect, including Yun Yi and the Supreme Elder, were all filled with panic.

They really didn't want to die.

Some people even couldn't help but speak in trembling voices...

"Wait...wait a minute!"

"We...we are willing to surrender, we...we are willing to serve you, just like Bai Jian, just like the spirit of Qingyang Mountain, we will follow you..."

"Please...please...let us go!"

The one at the beginning was an elder.

Judging from his position, he should be the Fifth Elder.

His voice trembled, and he lowered his head, though He Li couldn't see his expression...

But He Li could guess that the Fifth Elder must be feeling frustrated and helpless at this moment, after all, they had just looked down on He Li and his group from the lower realm.

Now they have to beg for mercy...

They were also asked to let it go.

Filled with a sense of superiority, they felt that Qi cultivators were superior to martial artists. How could they feel comfortable? But they had no choice; they knew they had to bow their heads if they wanted to survive.

The others weren't fools either; they understood the principle of "as long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn."

As long as I can survive...

There will always be a chance to turn things around in the future.

The most important thing right now is to stay alive!

Other things like dignity, the face of a Qi cultivator, and the face of a sect are all fleeting.

Nothing is more important than life.

Seeing that Yunyi and the Supreme Elder had clearly lost all will to fight, and that Sect Master Yunyi's sword was broken, and that it seemed unlikely they could turn the tide, the others also lowered their heads...

"Yes...yes, we surrender!"

"The Middle Realm and the Lower Realm are inseparable!"

"We...our ancestors also came from the mortal realm! Please, for the sake of our shared roots, spare us! We are willing to follow you and be at your beck and call!"

"Yes, yes, us too!"

"Besides...besides what just happened, it was actually the Second Elder who instigated us to take action. We ourselves did not actually intend to oppose you gentlemen."

"It's just that, due to the Second Elder's power, we...we have no choice but to do this..."

"That's right, it's all the Second Elder's fault!"

"Please let us go..."

"Please, let us go!"

They started pleading for mercy and shifting blame in unison.

Hearing these words, the already furious Second Elder would probably have jumped up and cracked the skulls of those who were trying to shift the blame, had He Li not been holding him back with his spiritual power.

The sect leader Yun Yi and the Supreme Elder in the air seemed to age considerably upon seeing this.

The Blazing Sun Sect... is finished!

Yunyi has given up struggling.

He neither wanted to nor dared to take action again.

He even considered begging for mercy, after all, he didn't want to die.

Only the Supreme Elder, seemingly still unwilling to give up, raised his face, which appeared to have aged considerably in an instant, becoming ashen and dull, and stared intently at He Li, threatening him in a low voice...

"Fellow Daoist...you should know that my Blazing Sun Sect...is a sect favored by the powerful beings of the Upper Realm."

"The upper realm is watching the Blazing Sun Sect."

"They also keep an eye on us sect members."

"If...if you really want to wipe them all out, those powerful beings in the Upper Realm will definitely not let you go once they find out; although you are powerful, I'm afraid you are not yet able to contend with the powerful beings in the Upper Realm."

"Fellow Daoist, why don't you leave now?"

"We can pretend this never happened!"

I hesitated for a moment before saying this.

The Supreme Elder continued, "As you depart, Fellow Daoist, our Blazing Sun Sect would like to offer you a gift..."

"Consider it...an apology!"

"What do you think?"

It seems that he fears no reason that could move his heart.

He further explained, "Although my Blazing Sun Sect may not rank highly in the entire Middle Realm, it is still far stronger than the ordinary sects and powers in the Middle Realm, and my sect also has abundant resources."

"Rest assured, fellow Daoist, the gifts offered by our sect will certainly satisfy you."

"So, fellow Daoist, you..."

He wanted to say something more.

He Li interrupted with a cold laugh: "Alright."

"Stop talking nonsense."

"Gifts? What a joke! Once I take over the entire Blazing Sun Sect, everything in your sect will be mine. Why would I need you to give me such meager gifts?"

"As for the gaze of the higher realms?"

"You mean Yayu and the Ten Witches of Lingshan... no, you should say those ten ancient witches?"

"I'm sorry, I'm not afraid of them."

"On the contrary, I expect them to show up."

As He Li spoke, the light in his pupil-less golden eyes intensified, causing the Supreme Elder and the others to jump in surprise and suspicion.

Yayu... the Ten Witches of Ling Mountain...

Those powerful beings in the upper realms are all beings who have truly become immortals or gods, capable of crushing an entire realm.

How can this warrior from the lower realm be so arrogant?

They don't even respect immortals and gods?

As surprised as they were, He Li's arrogance also silenced the Supreme Elder and others who had originally wanted to make peace with him, since they had no idea what He Li's trump card was.

Seeing their silence, He Li laughed and said, "Alright, it seems you can't come up with anything either."

"Let's go, let's hit the road!"

hum! ! !

As he spoke, his spiritual thoughts flowed, carrying all the disciples and elders of the Blazing Sun Sect towards the distant sea, leaving Yun Yi and the others somewhat bewildered.

"This...this is what you meant by...setting off?"

He couldn't help but ask tentatively.

"Otherwise what?" He Li pursed his lips.

"The Heavenly Dao of the Middle Realm is watching me. I'm not stupid enough to kill you all here and invite divine punishment. But... hey, I can send you to the lower realm to deal with you later."

"Tsk tsk~ The Heavenly Dao of the lower realm hates you. If it deals with you, it might even reward me."

"You escaped divine punishment, and there's even a reward..."

"I'm such a little genius!"

He was beaming with delight.

Yunyi and the others suddenly felt utterly hopeless.
