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

The Qi cultivators of the Zhenhai Sect were dealt with.

He Li then took the opportunity to drive their airship away.

The airship was moving at full speed, and its speed was extremely fast.

After all, this is a top-tier spiritual treasure.

It's a specially designed means of transportation, and its speed is inherently faster than other types of spiritual treasures of the same level. Traveling to your desired destination by riding this thing is not much slower than He Li flying on his own.

Moreover, traveling by airship would give He Li more free time to think about other things.

For example... that stone tablet in the realm of the dead!

The document contains more details of the "Great Nuo Rhapsody," and He Xiangli needs to master the revealed content as soon as possible, as well as the dragon egg that Yu Qingge brought back for him from the tribe.

Although He Li previously thought that the dragon race's desire to find the ten-horned dragon had nothing to do with this dragon egg...

But... what if?

So He Xiang took another look at the dragon egg.

However, after examining the dragon egg for a long time, He Li still couldn't find anything wrong with it.

Mu Lan, who was standing nearby, was also helping to check.

But I really can't see anything wrong with it...

She then stopped paying attention to the dragon egg.

She then said, "I feel something is strange. The Ten Witches of Lingshan clearly have big plans for going to the Blazing Sun Sect. Logically, they should be casting a wide net and plotting against many sects in the surrounding area."

"But they only chose the Blazing Sun Sect, it seems they have no intention of going to the Sea Suppressing Sect at all."

"What's going on?"

"Could it be because they are afraid of the dragons?"

"Impossible!" He Li shook his head upon hearing this.

The purpose of the ten witches of Mount Ling is still uncertain, but it is probably related to the half-dead Nuwa.

These guys were Nuwa's subordinates...

How could they possibly be afraid of dragons?

Dragons may be considered extremely noble beings by ordinary people or Qi cultivators, but they appear rather ordinary to the Ten Witches of Mount Ling.

Therefore, it is impossible for them to be afraid of the dragons.

But their creation of the living dead in an attempt to develop a new type of Qi cultivator to combat the calamity...

More test subjects are indeed needed.

Logically, he should have harmed even more sects.

As for not going to Zhenhai Sect...

"Their decision not to go to Zhenhai Sect has nothing to do with their fear of the Dragon Clan. I feel that they chose Lie Ri Sect precisely because of its special nature, since Lie Ri Sect has a passage to the lower realm..."

He paused before he could finish speaking.

Mu Lan frowned as well: "Could it be that those people specifically chose this particular area?"

"They...are planning to do this in the lower realms?"

"Most likely!" He Li nodded.

"The shaman had this plan before."

"I thwarted his plot in the Sun Sect, but there are still nine other great wizards among the Ten Wizards of Ling Mountain. It's possible that the other wizards have already succeeded in doing this elsewhere."

"I forgot to tell my superiors about this before, and I don't know if they've noticed anything unusual..."

"Ask again when we get back!" Mu Lan interrupted him.

"There's no use thinking about it now."

"However, it's not a big deal even if no problems are found."

"The lower realm is not like the middle realm. The power of the Ten Witches of Mount Ling is limited, so they probably wouldn't dare to cause too much trouble."

"Otherwise, we'll be targeted by too many forces in the lower realm, and their strange and bizarre schemes will be difficult to carry out. We just need to finish what we're doing as soon as possible and get back..."

"It can definitely be handled."

He Li nodded upon hearing this and said nothing more.

He couldn't see the problem with the dragon egg in his hand, except that the cracks on it were increasing...

So I took one last look...

He Li put away the dragon egg, then took out the Death Realm Stone Tablet from his Purple Mansion space and looked at Yu Qingge, indicating that Yu Qingge should help him translate and understand the detailed contents on it.

Yu Qingge's translation is quite honest.

She was also curious about the contents of the stone tablet.

Unfortunately, although Yu Qingge can translate...

However, the inscription on the stone tablet is too brief, and some of the descriptions are rather vague.

This also led to He Li being unable to grasp the essentials, and despite numerous attempts, he still failed to master the Nuo technique of "Fire Burning the Night." Meanwhile, the flying boat continued to move forward during the time he was trying to master the Nuo technique.

And soon, they approached the mountain where the Zhu family was located, which the Zhenhai Sect disciple had mentioned earlier...

"Is that Baiyun Mountain at night?"

The airship's speed has slowed down.

Standing at the bow of the boat, Yu Qingge gazed at the mountains ahead.

The mountain range looked as if it were covered with a layer of white frost.

From a distance, it appeared as a blanket of white snow, and strangely enough, the surrounding temperature did not decrease despite being close to the mountains. However, the mountains did exude an unsettling, chilling aura.

He Li, however, saw the problem with Baiyun Mountain, which was getting closer and closer into the night, with just one glance...

"That's not snow on the mountain!"

"That's... some kind of strange, solidified thread."

"Perhaps it's some kind of spider-like monster."

Suddenly, He Li spoke. At this moment, the flying boat stopped under his control and was stored in his Purple Mansion space. The three of them landed at the foot of the mountain, which looked gloomy with withered leaves covering the ground.

Before the three could thoroughly investigate their surroundings, a sound echoed from the dark forest ahead...

"Gentlemen, my master invites you!"

A strange, hoarse voice rang out.

Ahead, in the dense forest, fog swirled, and hundreds of twisted, bizarre black shadows began to emerge, the leader being a monstrous creature with a human head and spider body, ten meters long.

This thing has legs that are three to five meters tall, and those legs support its body high up.

Seeing this bizarre monster...

Looking at the densely packed black shadows behind the monster, all staring at them with either scarlet or emerald green eyes, even Mu Lan and Yu Qingge, who were well-versed in such matters, felt a little apprehensive.

"Those Qi cultivators from the Zhenhai Sect didn't lie to us."

"Baiyun Mountain is really dangerous at night."

"There are just too many demons and monsters here!"

"And they don't look weak at all..."

"Most importantly, judging from the monster's words, it already knew we were coming."

"Was this arranged by the Immortal of Fixed Wind?"

Mu Lan frowned and asked warily.

He Li nodded: "Only if the Immortal Dingfeng is watching us from the Upper Realm could know our whereabouts. If he doesn't tell us, these monsters naturally wouldn't know about us."

"However... judging from this, it seems that the Wind-Stabilizing Immortal doesn't intend to attack us directly."

"Let's go, since they've extended such a warm invitation..."

"Then let's go take a look."

"Let's see what that bedbug is up to!"

Having said that, He Li walked forward.

Seeing his fearlessness, Mu Lan and Yu Qingge quickly followed He Li, but remained vigilant about their surroundings, especially as they continued forward and saw the true faces of those dark figures...

And then there's the situation in the mountains!

Because those shadowy figures were all strangely shaped monsters, each inlaid with human limbs and organs...

For example, there are monsters with human faces all over their backs, hunched over, leaning on a bone cane and topped with a fox head; or monsters with severed heads hanging from their necks by ropes and walking backwards...

And those twisted insects...

Even the surrounding trees, upon closer inspection, reveal distorted human faces hidden on their trunks!

You can often step on bones...

Or it could be a relic of a Qi cultivator.

Broken flying swords, shattered magical artifacts, half-burnt soul banners, and other such things.

"What... is going on here?"

"How can it be so...eerie?"

Yu Qingge couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

He Li replied calmly, "Those Qi cultivators from the Zhenhai Sect said that besides being teeming with demons and monsters, this place is also the severed end of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains..."

"Just by hearing the name Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, you can probably vaguely guess what kind of place it is."

"Not to mention that a large number of strange creatures later gathered here."

"The piles of bones and relics all around..."

"They're probably all unlucky ones who got eaten."

At this point, He Li paused.

Mu Lan and Yu Qingge were puzzled by what they saw, but when they looked up, they saw a beautifully decorated classical manor standing in front of them, bathed in golden light and surrounded by lush flowers and plants...

But... this is so weird!

The surrounding area was littered with bones and barren of vegetation.

The result was that there was a fairyland-like place with a manor in the middle?

Does this seem right?
