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

Wang Yue suddenly realized that the deaths in Yingguo might have been orchestrated by He Li in secret.

Although Wang Yue didn't know, He Li was clearly busy going to Zhongjie Lie Lie to deal with the Sun Sect's affairs, so there was no way he would have had time to secretly run to Yingguo to cause trouble.

But He Li inexplicably asked about this matter...

He even revealed a strange smile that was somewhat gloating, sinister, and even malicious...

It's hard not to make Wang Yue guess wildly.

Of course, he was right; it was indeed He Li who secretly orchestrated this.

He Li once instructed the spirit body of the Ten Horns to cause trouble.

Just because it's a soul...

Ordinary people can't see it.

Therefore, the ten-cornered creature can silently shatter or devour the souls of others, and no one else will be able to find out how these people died.

Unless someone possesses abilities related to the soul or supernatural powers, such a person might be able to discover something.

But Ten Corners is no pushover either.

It was originally a true dragon, and the fact that it was defeated by He Li was due to the negative effects of its special ability "Reverse Blood Dragon Filth," which caused its combat power to decline with age...

There's also the reason for the Ten Directions, since forcibly merging the Ten Directions with the Ten Corners would also affect the power of the Ten Corners.

Although I am now dead and have become a spirit...

Even consciousness has dissipated, and can only be conceived anew.

But a true dragon is a true dragon.

As a soul entity, its potential remains high. Nourished by the resources given to it by He Li, and having devoured the souls of many others in the Sakura Kingdom, the Ten-Horned One is now even more powerful.

At least when it comes to those supernatural beings from the Sakura Kingdom, it probably wouldn't be difficult for Jukaku to deal with them.

That is why He Li, knowing the situation of the Ten-Corner in Sakura Country, did not intend to recall it.

Anyway, I don't need it right now.

Rather than letting it sit idly in the Soul Suppression Domain...

It's better to let it roam around overseas.

This way, at least it can continue to improve, so that when the ten-cornered horn is needed later, it will have enough power to avoid being useless.

With these thoughts in mind, He Li prepared to leave and return to the Blazing Sun Sect in the Middle Realm.

He had a lot going on in the future.

For example, he went to Shu to find Yu Ji, deciphered the stone tablet of "Da Nuo Fu", and helped Mu Lan deal with the matter of Dingfeng Xian Yao Dan. Of course, he also remembered things like the torch and the demon court.

However, these matters are less important than the matters mentioned earlier and can be postponed.

However, seeing He Li preparing to leave...

Wang Yue then added, "There's one more thing!"

"A large area of ​​abnormality has appeared in Qianzhou."

"Many investigators are deeply involved."

"If I remember correctly, you used to have an investigator named Li Xu in the Bacheng Special Bureau, right? He should be stuck in that special area now."

"Although according to the reports they've received, they haven't encountered any major danger yet..."

"But you've finished dealing with your current tasks..."

"Perhaps we should go and take a look!"

Qianzhou? Li Xu?

He Li remembered that Mu Lan had mentioned that Li Xu left the team because of something that happened to his family. She also mentioned that Li Xu's family was a martial arts family.

But... how did you end up in Qianzhou?

He Li was somewhat surprised, as he had initially assumed that Li Xu's family was from their Shu Prefecture region.

The result was Qianzhou, which is next to Shuzhou?

He really didn't know that.

Although surprised, He Li didn't rush over since Wang Yue said they weren't in any immediate danger. After all, he had more pressing matters to deal with first.

He certainly knew that Wang Yue's reminder to him was most likely at the behest of the higher-ups in Kyoto.

Kyoto wanted him to go and investigate that area in depth.

It would be best to take over that area.

Who told Jiang Hongxian to be absent...?

Is he the strongest in the Great Xia Dynasty?

Others have limited abilities, and even if they had the courage to venture into those dangerous areas, they would hardly come back alive.

Therefore, Kyoto can only rely on him.

So he simply nodded and said, "I know."

As he spoke, he quickly left the Special Affairs Bureau, but instead of heading immediately to the island leading to the Middle World, he came to the sea area where he had fought with Jiang Xiong, the former director of the Special Affairs Bureau of Shanghai.

The coastline around here is uninhabited.

He Li came here naturally to summon the Ghost Gate of the Netherworld and place it here.

He told Wang Yue that he would leave something behind in Shanghai...

They're talking about the gates of hell!

The Netherworld has five mysterious gates.

Furthermore, each of the mysterious gates is connected on both sides.

In other words, he only needs to set up a mysterious gate in the lower realm to easily travel between the Netherworld and the lower realm. If he then goes to the middle realm and sets up a similar mysterious gate...

Then he could travel between the Three Realms without having to go to the Blazing Sun Sect to use the passage every time.

This is undoubtedly very convenient.

"Once the Ghost Gate is properly set up, I will have the ability to move between the Lower and Middle Realms and the Netherworld at any time, and I will not have to worry about the passage breaking down as the Lower and Middle Realms change."

"And they can quickly arrive at the scene if any situation arises in either realm."

He Li thought to himself.

A faint blue light emanated from his body...

next second...

Buzz! Rumble! Rumble!

As strange blue swirling ripples spread, the beach centered on He Li began to twist, and a strange, dark purple, water-like force covered the beach for dozens of miles around.

Immediately afterwards, the earth trembled!

A dark door frame, covered in blood-red cracks and somewhat dilapidated and strange, rose from beneath the beach.

The door frame was covered with eerie patterns.

I can't recognize what the pattern is.

It felt like a twisted, decomposed creature or a wildly growing, twisted plant, and the door frame continued to rise until it was close to the clouds before gradually stopping.

At the same time, the void between the door frames spread out a dark mist like ink dripping into water.

The fog only swirled around the door frame...

From a distance, it looks like a standing surface filled with dark water.

At that moment, He Li clearly saw the familiar scene of the Netherworld behind the door frame through the black mist, and even saw a bewildered consciousness trying to cross the door.

However, consciousness cannot leave the realm of death.

They can only go in, not out.

Unless reasonable permission is obtained!

Of course, the Ghost Gate Pass was so conspicuous that many martial artists and awakened individuals in Shanghai saw it, and even Wang Yue, who was preparing to attend to other matters, rushed over in a hurry.

He originally thought that the pitch-black gate was some kind of preparation by the Middle Realm for taking action against the Lower Realm.

Until I saw He Li...

He then realized that it must have been him again.

Sure enough, before Wang Yue could ask anything...

He Li's voice rang out: "This is the Gate of Ghosts, the place where consciousness exists after death."

"Don't try to go in lightly!"

"Although you can't get in either."

"But who can guarantee that someone won't use your messy supernatural powers to force their way in? I'm just reminding you... the living don't get away with this in the world of the dead."

Having said that, He Li disappeared again.

The people who heard his words looked at each other in bewilderment.

Meanwhile, Kyoto, which has been paying close attention to He Li...

It's completely outrageous!

"The Mysterious Gate?!?"

"A mysterious gateway from the realm of the dead?!"

"When did he acquire this skill? No, how is he able to summon it?"

In the conference room of the Kyoto Special Bureau headquarters, the Kyoto bureau's top officials were staring intently at the live broadcast sent back by their subordinates in Shanghai, their faces filled with shock and disbelief.

They also knew of the existence of the realm of the dead.

Just as they knew of the existence of the Demon Court.

But as far as they knew, places like the Demon Court and the Realm of the Dead should have long since lost their purpose.

But what does he care about now...?

They actually brought out the Ghost Gate Pass?

What this foreshadows is self-evident!

"He has mastered the power of the dead?"

In the somber atmosphere of the meeting room, someone asked in surprise.

Upon hearing this, the others snapped out of their daze, their eyes now filled with a complex mix of emotions, including shock, doubt, and wariness. Even Zheng Guo's expression turned serious.

"We should be grateful!"

Zheng Guo said, "I'm glad I didn't do anything irrational because of his angry words, otherwise we would have been in big trouble if he had really acted recklessly."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but sigh.

He Li's behavior is becoming increasingly outrageous.

It's so terrifying.

Most importantly, they had no idea what had happened to He Li or why he possessed such power, since summoning the Ghost Gate was not something that could be achieved by devouring monsters.

There is no doubt that He Li has a secret, and it is the thing that these people in power fear most...

It means that unstable factors are out of control.

Just like He Li now.

They weren't worried before...

That was because Jiang Hongxian was there, and Jiang Hongxian was enough to fight against He Li, so the situation was still under control. But now the situation is different. He Li's power seems to far exceed that of Jiang Hongxian.

How could they not be afraid?

After all, looking at the Great Xia Dynasty and the world, if even Jiang Hongxian can't stand up to He Li...

Then who can restrain him?

Imagine a powerful being who is not only invincible among humans, but also revered by the lower classes, has no respect for power or social rules, and acts lawlessly, only caring about reason...

Wouldn't that make him a god who judges humanity?

Who wouldn't be afraid of that?
