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

"I came here to reason with them."

"I know Yu Ji has been summoned away by the Middle Realm!"

"But I need to know more specific and detailed information."

"But you are unwilling to reason."

"Not only are you unwilling, but you also want to beat and humiliate me. Well then, I'll just have to kill you all first, and then find someone willing to reason with me to tell me what I want to know!"

He Li retracted the blood strands and reformed them into an arm, without even glancing at the corpse of the old man who had died suddenly.

He only looked at the two old women.

The old woman, now terrified, had completely lost her previous arrogant demeanor. She now resembled a helpless old woman, trembling with fear and panic.

Especially after hearing He Li's words...

Seeing that He Li's murderous intent was strong and he was about to make a move...

Terrified and driven by her survival instincts, she disregarded her injuries and cried out, "No...don't kill me...we...we're willing to reason with you!"

"Are you willing to reason with me now?"

He Li sneered, "What were you doing just now?"

The old woman was somewhat at a loss.

"I...we...we were blind and didn't recognize your greatness. Please don't take it to heart. We..." The old woman tried to beg for mercy, but He Li's murderous intent remained undiminished.

This made her sweat profusely with anxiety.

It wasn't until she noticed Yu Qingge behind He Li that she hurriedly spoke up, as if grasping at a straw...

"Qingge! Qingge...please talk to him!!!"

"This shouldn't be happening, this shouldn't be happening!"

"I am your clan elder..."

"I watched you and Yu Ji grow up. You wouldn't want to see me die at his hands, would you? Besides... besides, we didn't anticipate what would happen to Yu Ji..."

"Forgive us...make him stop...make him stop, we can't die anymore!"

"Otherwise, the tribe will be doomed!!!"

The old woman tried to appeal to Yu Qingge's emotions, mentioning the importance of the clan elders and the tribe, hoping to move her. Yu Qingge frowned and pondered for a moment before finally gritting her teeth and speaking.

"He Li, why don't you... stop?"

She spoke tentatively.

She had to speak up and persuade them, after all, what the elders had done was a bit excessive...

However, the clan elders are among the few Soul Realm experts in the tribe. If He Li really kills all the clan elders, their tribe's status and ability to protect itself will inevitably decline sharply.

Other tribes or forces...

They will no longer have the same reverence for their tribe.

Considering the overall interests of the tribe...

Yu Qingge had no choice but to speak up.

Seeing that He Li remained unmoved, she whispered, "If you really manage to find Yu Ji..."

"Yu Ji... she definitely won't support you either. They killed both clan elders. Besides, haven't those who wanted to fight you already paid the price?"

"So, you see them..."

puff! ! !

Before Yu Qingge could finish speaking, He Li gave a cold smile, and his giant spiritual hand instantly exerted its power, crushing the old woman into minced meat before Yu Qingge could even react.

Upon seeing this, Yu Qingge's expression changed drastically.

"He Li, you..." She stared at He Li with disbelief and fear, her lips trembling. He Li turned to look at the trembling Yu Qingge and his sinister smile grew even wider.

"What will happen to your tribe without your elders...?"

"What does that have to do with me?"

"They're not my tribe!"

"As for Yu Ji? I remember I made it very clear when we made the deal."

"The deal is done, she's mine now."

"I'll make my own arrangements for my things. What makes you think her opinions can influence my decisions? Do you think I'm one of those stupid, love-struck fools?"

At this point, his smile faded: "I just think Yu Ji is quite suitable to follow me."

"But what if you feel she's not suitable..."

"I'll kick it away anytime."

"You don't think that someone as outstanding as me can't find a replacement whose abilities are no less than hers, do you?" As soon as she said this, Yu Qingge clenched her fists and her face became even more unpleasant.

At this moment, she suddenly realized that her tribe... seemed to still look down on He Li.

She was the same way.

She remembered that Yu Ji had told her about what happened when He Li was her classmate. She said that He Li was a guy who was attracted to women but not love-struck.

He can take things on and let them go.

Liu Mengyao is the most obvious example.

He'll be happy if you're willing to please him, but he won't fawn over you if you're not.

He will only give up on you and kick you to the curb.

As for trying to influence his decision?

He's not even willing to coax you, so you expect that throwing a tantrum will influence his decision? Don't be ridiculous. If Yu Ji dared to throw a tantrum, he would just kick her out.

Furthermore, He Li is not boasting; he is excellent enough in both the lower and middle realms.

Even without Yu Ji, there are still beautiful girls like Zhao Ji, Zhang Ji, and Li Ji, who are no less capable than Yu Ji and have awakened similar supernatural powers, eagerly throwing themselves at He Li to become his little followers.

The official government of Da Xia might even help him choose.

There's no way around it, he has that value!

The Great Xia government will definitely do everything in its power to satisfy him.

Thinking of all this, Yu Qingge dared not say anything more about how He Li's continued recklessness would upset Yu Ji, nor did she want to completely sever the relationship between the tribe and He Li.

After all, the clan elders are already dead. If we were to fall out with He Li, wouldn't that be a complete loss?

So, Yu Qingge paused for a moment...

Then she finally asked, "So... what exactly... do you want to do?"

"The clan elders have already given in."

"You could have asked her your questions."

"Now you've just killed her... Are you planning to attack the other elders and interrogate them? Those elders... haven't they come to provoke you, have they?"

Yu Qingge was also somewhat afraid.

She also began to regret bringing He Li along.

This guy is completely uncontrollable.

You want to use him to do your thing? You'd better pray he doesn't suddenly go crazy and start a killing spree, otherwise, like this time, you'll not only fail to get things done, but you'll also suffer heavy losses yourself.

He Li didn't care what she thought.

He only looked at the blood-red mulberry tree on the lake in the mountains...

Then, with a strange smile, he said, "I did have the idea of ​​pressing your elders for details before, but later I felt that I didn't need to ask them anymore."

Hmm? Is there no need to ask anymore?

What does this mean?

Is he planning to give up on Yu Ji altogether?

That doesn't make sense either. If he intended to give up, he wouldn't have said those things earlier.

So... what exactly does he mean?

Yu Qingge didn't quite understand.

Just as she was about to press further, she heard He Li whisper, "Ultimately, the reason Yu Ji was summoned to the Middle Realm is still related to this strange giant mulberry tree!"

"It seems to connect the three realms."

"And isn't my purpose in coming here to find out what's going on and bring Yu Ji back?"

"If that's the case... then why can't I skip the step of asking for details and just take action against this big mulberry tree to try and bring Yu Ji back?"

Ah? ? ?

Yu Qingge was stunned upon hearing this.

Wait, what was this guy just saying?

He... he's going to attack the sacred tree??

"You...you're a madman!!!"

Realizing what was happening, Yu Qingge disregarded her fear and pointed at him, trembling and cursing, "Do you even know how important the Divine Tree is to the ancient Shu people?"

"You want to attack the Divine Tree? Aren't you afraid that the five tribes of Ancient Shu will unite and kill you at any cost?"

"We've had a heritage spanning thousands of years..."

"To truly retaliate regardless of the cost..."

Are you sure you can handle it?

Yu Qingge lost her composure, a rare occurrence for her.

It's not her fault, after all, the sacred tree is their faith and the key to their many future plans. Now, He Li wants to take action against the sacred tree and ruin their future.

It would be strange if Yu Qingge could hold back her composure.

He Li, however, paid no attention to her.

He merely sneered, "Revenge?"

"I only took the sacred tree, I dare to retaliate..."

"I'll destroy the sacred tree!"

"Let's see who's afraid of whom!"

"you!!!"

Yu Qingge is furious!
