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

"Please come in, all three of you!"

Seeing He Li and his companions stop in front of the manor, the human-headed spider strode forward with its eight slender legs and approached the manor. As it neared the vermilion gate, it gestured for He Li and his companions to enter.

Upon hearing this, Yu Qingge prepared to step forward.

Mu Lan also wanted to catch up with her.

But as soon as they lifted their legs, they found themselves being forcibly pulled back by an invisible force and unable to move.

The source of that power seemed to be He Li, which puzzled the two women. They instinctively wanted to ask He Li something, but before they could speak, He Li spoke first...

"You have no sense of propriety!"

He Li was looking at the manor ahead, seemingly not even glancing at the human-headed spider.

He only glanced at the other person out of the corner of his eye.

With an arrogant and overbearing attitude, he said nonchalantly, "Since you're inviting me in, why don't you open the door?"

"I am the guest, you are the servant!"

"What are you waiting for if you don't open the door?"

"Are you expecting me to open the door for you?"

"Are all of Dingfengxian's subordinates idiots like you?"

He started cursing right away, which surprised and bewildered Yu Qingge and Mu Lan, and also made the smile on the originally smiling spider-headed face stiffen.

However, it maintained its smile and said, "How dare an ant like me set foot in the Immortal Lord's courtyard?"

"I am certainly not qualified to drive it."

"Please, esteemed guest... go and open the door yourself!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Qingge and Mu Lan realized that not only was there definitely something wrong with the manor, but the door probably wouldn't be so easy to open.

Who knows what might happen if we rush into it?

Dingfengxian might be plotting this to harm them, waiting for them to take the bait.

Thinking about this, the two felt a little scared.

Fortunately, He Li stopped him.

Otherwise, if something unexpected happens when the two of them go to open the door, even if He Li can help them resolve the crisis, it would still be quite embarrassing. And just as they were thinking about these things, He Li impatiently spoke up...

"You vermin, you're not human, yet you try to do all that troublesome stuff!"

"Wouldn't it be better to be direct?"

"Don't forget I'm here to cause trouble."

"I didn't come here to have tea with you bedbugs."

As he spoke, a cyan-gold light flashed in his eyes...

"You want me to push the door open? Fine, as long as you bugs don't regret it later."

Hmm? Sensing He Li's impatience and seeing him raise his leg as if to do something, the Spider-Head's eyelids twitched wildly, and a strong sense of unease suddenly rose in his heart.

It was as if a major disaster was about to occur.

Meanwhile, the other powerful demons and monsters hidden in the manor also seemed to have encountered something...

"Why are you angry, fellow Daoist?"

"I'm just waiting..."

A melodious sound came from within the manor, a sound that seemed to possess some kind of spiritual power, causing Yu Qingge and Mu Lan to become somewhat dazed.

Fortunately, neither of them is too weak.

After the voices from the Du Na Manor finished speaking, they had already recovered from their dazed state.

At the same time, He Li's raised leg fell down...

Snapped! ! !

Accompanied by the sound of footsteps on the ground...

Buzz! Boom! !!

Instantly, a visible blue-green wind erupted from the spot where He Li stepped, and the wind contained extreme cold energy that froze the entire manor in the blink of an eye...

The chill even spread to the surrounding mountains and forests for miles, freezing countless unsuspecting monsters.

The mountains and forests were thus transformed into the "Ice Forest"!

But this is just the beginning.

The chilling blue-green wind and waves that rose up were the truly terrifying and deadly attack.

This is because the wind and waves not only contain countless wind blades that can instantly cut rocks, grass, and other things into powder, but also have extremely strong impact and destructive power.

The entire manor, along with the mountains and forests in front of it...

Surprisingly, it was directly swept away by the wind and waves, turning into countless ice crystal fragments that vanished with the wind.

Those left behind...

There was only barren land.

Looking at the manor that had vanished after the storm, and the bare ground where half a meter of soil had been scraped away, revealing the dark red, foul-smelling earth beneath the fallen leaves...

The spider, which had narrowly escaped death by sensing danger in advance, felt its mouth dry.

It turned its head in terror to look at He Li...

"Where...did this Qi cultivator come from?"

"No, that's not right, he's definitely not a Qi cultivator!"

"Even Qi cultivators don't possess such power."

At this moment, the spider was filled with fear.

Previously, when it received orders that its master was to invite humans from who-knows-where, it was filled with jealousy and resentment, because it thought those Qi cultivators were all weaklings.

In its mind, human cultivators were neither qualified nor worthy of being invited by their master.

After all, even it itself...

Having followed the owner of this manor for many years and helped manage Baiyun Mountain for many years, accumulating numerous merits, I have never enjoyed the owner's courteous treatment.

What gives these outsider human cultivators the right to practice Qi?

This is why the Spider Head has never had a very good attitude towards He Li and his group.

It even considered harming He Li and the others in retaliation.

But considering they are ultimately guests...

The spider with the human head didn't make a move.

However, seeing He Li's strength now, how could the human-headed spider dare to harbor any jealousy or other petty thoughts? It was now trembling with fear, afraid of being targeted by He Li.

At the same time, it couldn't help but turn its head to look at the figures that flew out when the manor shattered...

And those figures standing tall in the air.

It was the owner of the Zhu Family Manor on Baiyun Mountain at night!

"The manor was destroyed by this outsider..."

"Right now, those adults, even my master, must be furious and want to get rid of this person as soon as possible, right? Should I... take this opportunity to get further away to avoid being caught in the crossfire?"

The spider couldn't help but ponder, and its eight legs began to cautiously retreat.

But before it could even take two more steps back...

A sound rang out from the sky...

"Fellow Daoist, don't you think you've gone too far?"

"We were ordered to welcome you here, fellow Daoist, and have treated you as an honored guest, yet you have destroyed our place of refuge?" Hearing that familiar voice, tinged with anger...

He Li waved his hand, storing all the frozen monsters into his Purple Mansion space before looking up.

In the sky, several women with exceptional figures and stunningly beautiful faces were staring coldly at him.

However, He Li only gave it a cursory glance...

Then came a cold laugh.

"You yourselves made me push the door open, I only used a little bit of force."

"What are you barking about here?"

"Getting impatient? What were you doing all this time?"

"You deserve this result."

"Furthermore... ha, a spider, a moth, and some random mosquitoes, snakes, and ants—a mere swarm of lowly bugs—do they even dare to question me here?"

"Who gave you your confidence?"

"The Wind-Stabilizing Immortal? That's nothing more than a larger bedbug. You think he can protect you?"

He Li spoke with a sinister look on his face.

Judging from his appearance, he was clearly preparing to imprison all the demons and monsters in the Purple Mansion Space and then kill them, which made the demon-transformed women opposite him both shocked and angry.

They've existed on Baiyun Mountain for so many years at night...

This is the first time I've encountered someone so arrogant and presumptuous, daring to disregard them.

"Fellow Daoist, you are so arrogant..."

"Aren't you afraid that my true form, the Immortal Lord, will descend?"

Staring intently at He Li, the leading spider demon clenched her fists, suppressing her murderous intent, and asked with a gloomy face.

He Li remained ruthless.

"Does he dare? If he doesn't, he shouldn't waste his breath."

"If he dares, then let him come!"

"Even if he doesn't descend in his true form, I'll destroy all his strongholds in the Middle Realm to force him to come. I'm just waiting to see how capable he really is!"

As he spoke, He Li showed no politeness and directly used his spiritual power to envelop the mountain forest.

Immediately, he was about to forcibly take these demons and monsters into his Purple Mansion space and then deal with them. Of course, the demons on the other side also sensed the terrifying spiritual thoughts coming from He Li.

They struggled desperately to break free.

Unfortunately, their cultivation level was not much different from that of a Qi cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage.

With their limited abilities...

It was not enough to break free from He Li's spiritual control.

This discovery also threw them into a panic.

However, just as He Li opened his Purple Mansion space to make his move, a pale green breeze suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and that strange breeze actually blew away He Li's spiritual thoughts.

But He Li was not surprised.

Instead, he smiled.

His gaze then fell upon the spider demon opposite him, whose eyes had somehow begun to emit a faint green glow: "Tsk, you stinking bug, you actually came out?"

"Looks like this tactic of cleaning up your men..."

"It still works!"

The Wind-Calming Immortal, possessing the spider demon, was not annoyed upon hearing this; he simply calmly sized up He Li before him...
