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

Seeing He Li's sinister smile, how could the strongmen of the stronghold not see that their words had not made He Li hesitate but instead aroused his ferocity?

Judging from his appearance, it seems that if the elders cannot satisfy him today, things will not end well.

"Quickly! Go and inform the clan elders!"

"He Li is renowned and is by no means an ordinary person."

"We are probably no match for him!"

The conflict had already broken out, and there was no time to think it over. Immediately, another martial artist, whose status was suspected to be no less than that of the common people, gave an order. Upon hearing this, the other martial artists nodded and immediately fled.

Meanwhile, the other martial artists weren't idle either; they suddenly raised their hands and flung out streaks of light...

Bang! ! !

As the light exploded in the sky like fireworks, dozens, even hundreds, of flying martial artists and awakened individuals suddenly emerged from every corner of the city and gathered in the sky.

He Li showed no fear upon seeing this.

"Call for reinforcements? Ha, what's the use? No matter how many you call, they're all useless in the end."

He didn't hold back in belittling and mocking them.

But I was still quite surprised.

After all, this was just a fortified village, and only one of the five tribes of ancient Shu. Yet, a single arrow piercing through the clouds could send nearly a hundred martial artists at the Profound Knowledge Realm rushing out of the village.

Isn't this outrageous enough?

It should be noted that in the outside world, the strongest members of many sects and families are only at the Profound Knowledge Realm.

Even for prestigious sects like Emei and Wudang, their leaders are only at the Void Realm.

At least on the surface, that's the case.

Perhaps among those famous sects there are hidden patriarchs and elders with even greater strength, but their overall strength still cannot compare with the five ancient Shu tribes.

Their average strength level is too high.

If these people were to go out and develop their careers...

That probably has nothing to do with any other forces.

"No wonder these people are so ambitious and arrogant; they certainly have the right to be so!"

He Li sighed inwardly.

The warriors from the stronghold opposite him did not act rashly because of He Li's contemptuous words. Although they were also annoyed, they simply kept their eyes on He Li.

The martial artist who had just instructed someone to inform the clan elders was now looking at Yu Qingge, who was not far away.

"Qingge, you'd better advise him not to do anything reckless!"

"Or tell him to leave quickly."

"You understand our tribe."

"When the elders arrive, He Li will definitely not have a good outcome."

As he spoke, Yu Qingge could only helplessly shrug: "I'm not very familiar with He Liyou, so why would he listen to me? In fact, I only brought him here because he threatened me."

"If only I could actually persuade him..."

"Then he won't come looking for trouble."

"So don't count on me."

What she said seemed to make a lot of sense, but how many of those stronghold warriors were fools?

They knew very well that He Li might have actually asked Yu Qingge about these things after learning about Yu Ji's situation, and he did indeed say that he wanted Yu Qingge to lead the way.

But He Li is definitely not a threat.

Furthermore, Yu Qingge is definitely not as completely unpersuasive as she just said.

She's just deliberately avoiding helping.

She might even be trying to stir things up!

After all, Yu Ji is her sister.

Now that Yu Ji has been summoned away by the Middle Realm, it would be strange if Yu Qingge could feel at ease.

This Yu Qingge... perhaps she's planning to get revenge by having He Li cause a scene here, and also use He Li to figure out what's really going on with Yu Ji.

Thinking of this, the martial artists could only helplessly glare at Yu Qingge, who seemed indifferent to the matter.

Then they looked at He Li.

Seeing that they still wanted to say something, He Li impatiently waved his hand and spoke first: "I don't have time to listen to your nonsense. If you know what's good for you, get out of my way."

"If they don't know what's good for them..."

He Li did not continue speaking.

His figure flew forward, and the warriors of the stronghold became even more nervous but did not retreat.

He Li then stopped being polite.

"You asked for this, get out of here!!!"

Boom! This time, He Li didn't even use his spiritual power. He just shouted in a low voice and an invisible sonic wave impact was unleashed. The sonic howl from the eerie Echo Wolf was extremely destructive.

Even though He Li only gave a slight shout, the terrifying sonic roar instantly dispersed nearly a hundred martial artists.

Those with strong abilities were injured by the sonic waves, their bodies bleeding profusely from their mouths and noses, and their consciousness becoming hazy.

The weaker ones even fainted instantly.

In an instant, a large number of martial artists fell to the ground.

The ancient Shu people below, who had sensed something was wrong and had been watching the situation in the sky, were dumbfounded. They had never seen anyone as powerful as He Li before...

"Who...is that person?"

"Just a reprimand, and... nearly a hundred of our clan's strongest warriors were severely injured by him?"

"Those are all martial artists at the Profound Knowledge Realm!"

"When did martial artists at the Profound Knowledge Realm become so weak?"

"It's not that the Profound Knowledge Realm is too weak!"

"It's this person... He's too strong. His name is He Li. He's the infamous 'Bone-Chewing Yama' that's all the rage outside. It's said that he eats everything, even monsters."

"He has virtually no rivals outside..."

"Wait, how did we provoke such a powerful individual?"

"...Isn't it all because of the Divine Tree? I heard the chosen girl had a close relationship with him, and now that she's been sent away, isn't he coming to cause trouble?"

"Oh no! This is troublesome. If this person starts killing indiscriminately here, my clan will suffer heavy losses..."

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and save them!!!"

He Li's performance shocked countless ancient Shu people. The huge city fell into chaos as many powerful people fell. He Li had already chased after the martial artist who had tipped him off.

Those clan elders did not seem to live in the village.

He Li quickly traversed the entire fortress.

And vaguely, he sensed something unusual in the densely fogged forest behind the fortress, while Yu Qingge, who was following behind, noticed his gaze and casually explained...

"It's a spatial anomaly!"

"There are many spatial anomalies in the Great Fog Wushan... and even the entire Guangwu Mountain Range."

"The quantity far exceeds that of other places."

"The spiritual energy here is more concentrated than in other places..."

"That's the reason!"

As she was speaking, she saw He Li suddenly slow down and look at the distant mountain lake surrounded by mountains, where a mulberry tree, hundreds of feet tall, with a red trunk and golden leaves, stood.

"That's... the Divine Tree?"

He Li spoke up, and Yu Qingge nodded: "Yes, it grew from half a root of the real Fusang Divine Tree, but it did not possess any divine power before the appearance of spiritual energy."

"Until the emergence of spiritual energy..."

"It was only then that its extraordinary qualities began to emerge."

"Elders, they're over there!"

No sooner had Yu Qingge finished speaking than three figures darted out from the misty mountain lake, appearing before He Li in an instant with incredible speed.

Before He Li could react, the elderly woman leading the group, holding a cane, coldly questioned him...

"Young man, I have already ordered that you be given appropriate compensation for what happened to Yu Ji."

"The fifth layer of the 'Great Nuo Rhapsody'..."

"This is a treasure that even Kyoto doesn't have, and whose existence is completely unknown. It's already quite generous of us to give such a treasure as compensation without making you kowtow and thank us three times."

"How dare you cause trouble here?"

"Are you really... not afraid of death?"

"Or do you think that with the backing of the Great Xia government, I wouldn't dare to do anything to you?"

The old woman, speaking in the tone of an elder lecturing a younger generation, glared at He Li and began to berate him. He Li was not surprised at all, after all, he had already seen it from Li Shu before...

These clan elders are a bunch of self-important old fogies who think they are superior and that everyone must obey their orders.

As for these old, immortal things...

He Li wouldn't hold back either.

"Old man, you keep talking about compensation, but I haven't agreed yet. Besides... the fifth level of the 'Great Nuo Rhapsody'? You think that's enough to make up for it?"

"A bat with chicken feathers stuck in it, what kind of bird are you?"

"You dare to make decisions for me?"
