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

"Question? You're right!" He Li's somewhat sinister voice flooded Kong Xing's mind...

"But I not only question it, I also oppose it. I even suspect that you are colluding with certain high-ranking officials in Kyoto and operating in secrecy, so your decisions cannot be implemented."

"This is my territory!"

"I also took over the Sun Sect of the Middle Realm."

"Of course, whatever I say goes."

"I say do what I say, and that's how it is. Kyoto? Kyoto has no right to interfere in matters here."

His tone was unquestionable.

Kong Xing was dumbfounded after hearing this.

What the hell is He Li saying? Is he rebelling? Openly rebelling? Seizing land for the country? Kyoto has no right to interfere here? How dare he utter such a statement?!

Wasn't he afraid that if these words got out, others would label him a rebel and he would be antagonized by the higher-ups of the Great Xia?

No matter how powerful he is, he can't fight against the whole country, right?

What... what kind of madman is this?

Kong Xing, who had just regained his composure, was once again filled with fear because of He Li.

He miscalculated. He never expected that He Li, who was only an extreme person, would go to such an extreme degree that he would dare to make statements that were almost blatant rebellion.

Even more outrageous is...

Look at those martial artists and investigators below.

These people were not afraid, nor were they worried that these words would implicate them if they got out...

Instead, their faces turned red, and they were so excited they almost shouted out slogans on the spot.

Judging from their appearance, it was clear that due to various reasons, coupled with what Kong Xing had done this time, they were utterly disappointed with the Kyoto leadership, which led to their current state of affairs.

Kong Xing now has no doubt...

As long as he dares to say "the Yellow Heaven is dead"...

These people will definitely cooperate.

If they really did that, then without a doubt, those powerful and wealthy families in Shanghai would be the first to be slaughtered.

Kong Xing could even imagine that He Li, a being who could be described as a god among men, would be their leader...

These peasants...

They might actually manage to storm Kyoto.

After all, it's easier to break into Kyoto than to pass the entrance exam.

Thinking about all this, Kong Xing became increasingly flustered.

He took a half-step back in terror, his voice trembling, "You...do you know what you're saying?"

"How dare you...openly oppose Kyoto?"

"And...and it's Kyoto..."

"We have no right to interfere with you?"

"You...you're creating this..."

Before he could finish speaking, his body was suddenly bound by an invisible force, rendering him unable to move or even utter a sound. He Li's playful yet eloquent voice rang out again…

"Rebel what? Rebel?"

How could you slander me like that?

"Since I joined the Special Bureau, I have been doing my best to eliminate evil and traitors for the Great Xia."

"I even ventured alone into the Middle Realm, risking my life to capture the extremely dangerous Qi Refining Sect, the Blazing Sun Sect, for the Great Xia Dynasty, and even gave away many resources to others free of charge..."

"I've devoted myself so wholeheartedly to the people of Great Xia..."

"You actually accused me of rebellion?"

"I now strongly suspect that you... and your family behind you, as well as the families and forces that cooperate with your actions, are spies supported and cultivated by foreign forces."

"Otherwise, how could you slander me, someone who has given so much to the Great Xia Dynasty without expecting anything in return?"

Upon hearing He Li's words, Kong Xing's pupils constricted sharply.

He served as an official for so many years, after all.

What does He Li mean by that?

He knew it all too well.

This bastard is making excuses for wiping out the entire family. Judging from what he just said, if he confirms this, then all the forces involved in this matter will be wiped out.

As for the fact that his statement is full of loopholes, will the Kyoto higher-ups or others really believe it?

The answer is yes, and it is certain!

Kong Xing knew very well that the high-ranking officials in Kyoto who truly wanted to save the country had long wanted to get rid of these parasitic families and factions, since they were always putting pressure on them...

They also frequently deceived their superiors and subordinates, doing many things that the higher-ups of Daxia wanted to deal with but had no opportunity to do.

Now, such an anomaly has emerged...

He completely disregards the rules.

He has no ties to any powerful forces or interests.

In addition, his strength is terrifyingly powerful...

He can act with impunity, framing and eliminating these seemingly powerful forces, and the higher-ups of Great Xia will not only not stop He Li, but will also cooperate with him.

They will definitely help He Li to solidify this matter and find a bunch of "spy" evidence against them.

As long as these things are disseminated by higher-ups...

That confirms it completely.

The whole country will believe they are spies.

These families and forces will not only face He Li, but also the wanted and hunted down by the National Bureau of Special Abilities... Thinking of this, Kong Xing's mind went blank.

He never imagined that things would escalate to the point of confiscating his family property and exterminating his clan.

Everything was fine before...

However, Kong Xing quickly realized the key point.

"Could it be... that the Kyoto leadership is orchestrating this?"

"He Liming clearly went to Shuzhou!"

"It seems like there's something important going on. Why did he suddenly rush back so quickly? It's like... someone deliberately notified him about the situation here so he could handle it."

"And this selection... even with the combined pressure from all the families, it seems to have gone too smoothly."

"This whole thing might have been a long time coming..."

"It was those guys from Zheng who set up this scheme, figuring out that He Li would directly attack them. As long as the two sides started fighting, they could intervene regardless of whether He Li made any excuses..."

Kong Xing felt increasingly desperate the more he thought about it.

He's already figured it out.

Even if He Li hadn't deliberately labeled them as foreign spies in order to wipe out their family...

As long as He Li takes action, as long as they resist, then the Zheng people in the capital will jump out and accuse them of a bunch of things, and then continue to confiscate their property and exterminate their families.

This is a complete dead end!

Maybe it all started when he decided to come to Shanghai...

Those people had already planned out their scheme.

Only he... and many others in Kyoto, blinded by the immense benefits of the Zhongjie Lie Ri Sect, would overlook many unreasonable aspects because of these huge profits.

Then they jumped into the trap they had set...

If he wants to save his life and his family, Kong Xing would have to never come to Shanghai in the first place, never be envious of the Lie Ri Sect's interests, and never try to get other families involved in this matter.

But... is that even possible?

Absolutely impossible. It's like someone who's been terrified of poverty suddenly discovering a mountain of gold in front of them...

Knowing there might be danger...

But that person would still be excited to climb.

Thinking of this, Kong Xing's face turned ashen.

"It's over...it's all over..."

He muttered to himself, and Kong Jie, who was panicking behind him, was even more at a loss after hearing his words.

Meanwhile, the powerful figures from various families and forces who had been summoned by Kong Xing to deal with Yang Jian and his group realized something was wrong and began to flee the scene.

But how could I let them go?

"Trying to run now? Too late!"

"Arrest them! They're all foreign spies!"

"Don't let a single one escape!"

"Each one of them has made tremendous contributions!"

His words immediately excited everyone!
