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

Kuruko's behavior was very strange.

But he is related to the True Lord of the Sun and Moon.

As for the True Lord of the Sun and Moon, who sits upside down in the River of Time, he can see the past, the present, and the future. Perhaps it is because he saw something in the River of Time...

Only then would he instruct Kurongzi to slaughter Qi cultivators who had obtained the inheritance of the Myriad Laws Sect or its true methods.

But whatever the truth is...

He Li had a premonition that Kurongzi might become his most troublesome and difficult opponent!

After all, the True Lord of Sun and Moon and All Laws was standing behind him...

Faced with an existence that wields the power of time...

Who can live without pressure?

The good thing is that, at least for now, these people from the lower realms won't run into Kurongzi. Even if they do, they probably won't easily fight to the death unless there's a major conflict of interest.

Thinking of this, He Li shook his head slightly and decided to stop thinking about Kurongzi for the time being.

He only looked at Tian Hai...

"Aside from these two important pieces of news."

"What other valuable things do you know?"

He Li pressed on with further questions.

"Many!" Tian Hai replied, "My status is not low to begin with, and when I travel around, I often come into contact with direct disciples of major sects, or other cultivators of high status and position."

"Through them, I am also able to learn many things that ordinary cultivators cannot easily know."

"If we're going to say them all in turn..."

"It would probably take a long time to explain... Of course, if you have a specific event or question you'd like to ask me, I'll definitely tell you everything I know!"

He nodded upon hearing this.

There are too many things to do, and he has other matters to attend to right now, so it's really not appropriate for him to stay here and listen to his explanation.

As for specific questions?

Aside from the matter between the Shu Kingdom and Kurongzi...

He Li hadn't really thought that he would need to ask Tian Hai anything, since he already knew quite a bit about things like Wu Di and Tianmen.

Especially those wizards...

Tian Hai had just returned to the sect, and he probably knew less than He Li had asked.

Since that's the case, let's leave the matter aside for now.

"We'll send you down to the lower realm first."

"I'll come over later and ask you some more questions!"

As he spoke, He Li activated his spiritual senses, dragging the group of Qi cultivators from the Blazing Sun Sect, whose expressions were complex and who dared not resist in the slightest, back to the small island they had come from with Mu Lan and the others.

The island is completely invisible from the outside, and cannot be sensed even with divine sense or spiritual awareness.

That's why.

When He Li dragged Yun Yi, Tian Hai, and the others to this small island, they were all shocked...

"There's...an island here?"

"Is the passage to the lower realm hidden here?"

"It's truly unbelievable that the passage that so many forces in the Middle Realm wanted to build was right under our noses, yet... we didn't discover it after all these years?"

"This is not our fault."

"Disciples occasionally come to this place, but even if they cross this sea area, they never enter the island. In my opinion... there must be some special restriction here."

"Even if ordinary people knew the location, they wouldn't be able to get in at all. As for why they were able to get in now..."

"Perhaps it has something to do with them?"

"Or perhaps the restriction was lifted because they opened a passage from the other side?"

The disciples of the Blazing Sun Sect couldn't help but discuss it.

He Li didn't think that much about it.

However, he could guess that the disappearance of the restrictions here could be due to the opening of the passage, or it could be because the group of wizards had done something here before.

After all, they are "immortals" from the upper realm!

They want to deal with the restrictions here. It shouldn't be too difficult for them, even if it's not something they can do easily.

Moreover, they are related to Nuwa.

While pondering, He Li manipulated his spiritual senses, throwing all the Blazing Sun Sect disciples into the passage. He then followed them back into the dark underground space...

"You wait here."

"I'll come back and deal with your affairs after I've plundered your Sun Blazing Sect's resources."

Staring at the group of Blazing Sun Sect disciples, He Li said with a smile, "Of course, you can also try to escape during this opportunity. Maybe with a bit of luck, you can actually get away from me?"

Whether you try it or not is up to you!

After saying that, he turned and left.

Seeing that he went straight back to the Middle Realm, Yunyi and the others looked at each other in bewilderment but dared not run around.

They're not stupid. He Li's words urging them to run away were clearly sarcastic. If they actually dared to run, they'd be dead by the time He Li returned.

Most importantly, how do you run it?

This godforsaken place only has two roads.

First, leave this island and escape to the outside world!

Second, return to the passage and escape towards the middle boundary!

This is Inner Gate Island; staying here allows them to retain their strength.

But if they flee far away from the island, their strength will be suppressed and their combat power will be greatly reduced. If they encounter powerful beings from the lower realms, won't they still be killed?

As for returning through the passage to escape to the middle boundary?

He Li was plundering resources from the sect!

If I run out, he won't see me?

Do you really think he's blind? If he catches you, your fate might not be any better than the Grand Elder's.

Yunyi and his group aren't stupid.

It took a lot of courage to abandon dignity and face to reduce He Li's murderous intent. At this point, they would not do anything reckless or court death.

However, they dared not run away.

But that doesn't mean we can't do other things.

For example... Yun Yi looked at Tian Hai with a sinister gaze.

That bastard needs to be taught a lesson!

Tian Hai, of course, noticed the unfriendly gazes of the sect leader and the elders. He retreated in a panic, saying, "You... I advise you not to do anything rash!"

"That gentleman just said that he will come back to ask me many important questions."

"If...if you attack me..."

"I'm definitely going to tell on him when he gets back!"

"If you're not afraid of dying, then attack!"

Upon hearing this, Yunyi was furious.

How come he didn't see it before? His disciple was not only a coward who betrayed his elders, but also such a despicable person? And he tattled on them so confidently?

Isn't he ashamed?

The dignified chief disciple of the Blazing Sun Sect...

Have you no shame? You've completely lost all sense of shame!

Yun Yi was annoyed, but Tian Hai's words actually intimidated him and the elders who were about to take action.

Seeing that they were frightened, Tian Hai immediately revealed a smug look and said with a grin, "Those who know when to yield are the heroes. Master, your thinking is still not as good as mine."

They say that people become wise and shrewd with age.

"I don't think so. If we're talking about truly wise and experienced people, then it should be you who are being valued by that lord right now."

"It's not me, Tian Hai, anymore!"

He grinned and looked very pleased with himself.

Yun Yi sneered, "What?"

Are you proud to be someone's dog?

"Shouldn't it be?" Tian Hai scoffed. "You old fogies really don't understand the situation. Don't you understand what's going on with that official?"

"He's just a brute!"

"He has never practiced magic, yet even so, all the experts in our sect cannot defeat him."

"Judging from what just happened, he didn't even use his full strength; he just stood there and took you down. And he grew up in a resource-poor lower realm."

"Such an existence has now reached the Middle Realm..."

"With the abundant resources of the Middle Realm replenishing them, do you think that person will become incredibly terrifying?"

He got a little excited as he said this.

Although the elders hadn't thought of it before, they immediately realized what Tian Hai meant when he said that He Li was a top-tier expert even in the Middle Realm.

To be a dog for such a powerful person...

Their status would certainly rise accordingly.

The saying goes, "When one person attains enlightenment, even his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven." Perhaps one can even follow him to the upper realm in the future!

Thinking of these things, the elders' minds immediately became active.

Even Lian Yunyi suddenly fell silent.

Tian Hai naturally noticed their unusual behavior.

He said smugly, "Hey, you old folks are getting on in years. You only realized this after I reminded you?"

"Tsk, you're talking to me about noodles?"

"That's hilarious! Face and dignity, what's that worth? Can face and dignity take you to the upper realm?"

"Can saving face and dignity protect you from disaster?"

"Don't be ridiculous!"

"Your level of awareness is too low."

"You deserve to be less valued than me!"

Although Tian Hai's words were harsh, Yun Yi and the others had to admit that the young man's mind worked quickly.

Just as this group of people were deep in thought, figuring out how to curry favor with He Li like Tian Hai had, footsteps echoed from the dark passage ahead.

It seems someone is approaching!
