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

"Everything is negotiable!"

There was no deep-seated hatred between us.

"Why must you be so extreme, fellow Daoist?"

Although he had spied on He Li in the upper realm, Dingfengxian understood why Jinwu dared not descend in his true form to deal with He Li after his consciousness possessed another person and saw He Li up close.

The reason for this is that He Li's combat power is not only too strong, enough to shake gods and immortals.

The most crucial thing is actually...

Dingfengxian actually felt a slight, primal pressure from He Li. This pressure was unrelated to strength but rather came from the pressure of different levels of beings.

It's like a mouse seeing a cat.

Mice not only experience stress but also tremble with fear.

And what about the pressure that He Li puts on Feng Xian...?

It can't be said to be exactly the same as a mouse seeing a cat, but in Dingfengxian's view, it's not much different.

This speaks volumes.

"The fact that he can exert such instinctive pressure on me can only mean that his true form is either not a mortal but a Great Sun Golden Crow, or some other high-level creature equivalent to a born deity..."

"Or maybe it's because of some special identity or background that they enjoy the blessings of heaven and earth."

"So even someone as celestial as myself..."

"I also feel the pressure."

Dingfengxian pondered to himself, and in his opinion, He Li's true form should indeed be a mortal.

After all, this guy came from the lower realm.

If he really is a higher being...

In the past, when the connection between heaven and earth was severed and there was no spiritual energy in the lower realm, he probably wouldn't have been able to maintain his disguise or even survive. He might have been dealt with by the people of the lower realm long ago.

It should be noted that although there was no spiritual energy in the lower realm before, human firearms still possessed terrifying power.

When beings of higher status lose their power...

Those firearms could kill them.

And how could He Li remain unscathed...?

It's pretty much certain that he's human, but if that's the case, then he must have a special background. Dingfengxian is very curious about what other special identity He Li might have.

Of course, curiosity is one thing.

Dingfengxian hadn't forgotten his main task; the Great Sun Golden Crow was still threatening him from behind.

Thinking of this, he continued, "The root of our conflict is nothing more than the demon core of Yin Yunzi residing in your woman's body. If I were to remove that demon core..."

"No, if I resolve the problem with that demon core..."

"To make it completely her power."

"Then our conflict will naturally disappear."

"At that time, there will be no need for us to target each other or even fight to the death."

Hearing this, He Li was very suspicious.

Judging from Dingfengxian's words, it seemed that he intended to back down and help Mu Lan resolve the demon core issue, rather than become his enemy. But this guy had previously been trying to trip him up...

She was thinking of making a move against him.

Why did your attitude change so suddenly?

Besides, he had just almost destroyed his believer stronghold on White Cloud Mountain in the Middle Realm at night...

Can the Wind-Stabilizing Immortal really pretend nothing happened?

That's definitely unlikely!

He Li was certain that Ding Fengxian had a problem, but he hadn't yet figured out what Ding Fengxian was up to. Meanwhile, Mu Lan behind him blushed with embarrassment upon hearing Ding Fengxian's words.

This fairy is too direct.

She couldn't help but look up at He Li's back, her gaze somewhat absent-minded, clearly lost in thought.

Until He Li's voice rang out...

She finally snapped out of her daze and regained her composure...

"Since you say you can solve the problem of demon cores..."

"Then do it now!"

As He Li spoke, he gestured for Mu Lan to take two steps forward, then squinted at Ding Fengxian.

The latter shook his head after hearing this: "Don't worry, solving the problem of the demon core is just a piece of cake for me, after all, the power of that demon core originally came from myself."

"I'm just helping you..."

"Then stop talking nonsense!" He Li interrupted Ding Fengxian rudely before she could finish speaking.

"Since you said it was just a small favor, what about the rest? Anyway, it won't take long to deal with the demon core issue, as you've suggested."

"What? You can't possibly refuse, can you?"

He Li kept his eyes narrowed.

Dingfengxian remained silent.

He didn't expect He Li to be so unruly, completely unpredictable and not even letting him say a word.

This guy seized on a polite remark and insisted that he deal with the demon core issue first before discussing anything else. But the problem is... is it really that easy to deal with the demon core for him...?

What about his relationship with Dingfengxian?

Dingfengxian knew very well that a capricious fellow like Heli would never be very honest.

Maybe I just finished dealing with the demon core...

He turned and ran away.

No, it would be better if he just ran away.

What Dingfengxian was worried about was that after he helped deal with the demon core, this guy would not only not disturb him to listen to what he had to say next, but would also directly kill the demons under his command.

They even attacked his consciousness.

After all, He Li's actions are unpredictable, and Ding Fengxian, unsure of his intentions, naturally dared not make a hasty decision.

However, seeing his silence...

He Li, however, began to add fuel to the fire.

"Why aren't you saying anything?"

"Is this something that's causing you a lot of trouble?"

He Li sneered, "Tsk, I wonder who was it that confidently said they could help me deal with the demon core, and that it was just a piece of cake."

"But what happened? When I actually asked you to help deal with the demon core, you refused!"

"Since you're not willing to help..."

Suddenly, He Li's tone changed.

He then said fiercely, "Then I'll have no choice but to force you to get rid of the demon core for me."

As he spoke, he seemed ready to make a move.

Seeing the familiar, scorching aura emanating from him, Dingfengxian, who was frowning and pondering how to respond, suddenly looked up at He Li, who was radiating golden light...

"Golden Crow...fire? You..."

His tone was full of shock and confusion.

But soon he seemed to have thought of something, and looked at He Li with a somewhat incredulous gaze.

Clearly, he had a vague idea as well.

The Golden Crow Fire on He Li's body must have originated from Golden Crow Eleven, who had suffered a loss at He Li's hands. No wonder Golden Crow Eleven seemed determined to kill He Li.

But this is precisely what shocked Dingfengxian.

After all, that's the Golden Crow!

It is a genuine innate deity.

Surprisingly, he suffered a loss at He Li's hands, and it seems that He Li even took away some of the Golden Crow Eleven's original power, which led to He Li's control over the Golden Crow Fire...

Thinking of this, Dingfengxian, who was about to attack He Li at the slightest provocation, finally spoke up again...

"Wait, I didn't say I wasn't willing!"

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, He Li withdrew the Golden Crow Fire with a half-smile, waiting for the other party to continue.

Dingfeng Xian continued, "That demon core... I can deal with it for your woman right now."

"But I hope you can cooperate with me!"

"I want you to help me deal with the Golden Crow."

"That's your enemy too."

"Our cooperation will only bring benefits!"

Hmm? Cooperation to deal with the Golden Crow?

Hearing Dingfengxian's words, He Li was taken aback and paused for a moment before coming to his senses.

However, He Li quickly guessed that it was probably because of what happened last time that Jinwu Eleven dared not descend in his true form to deal with him, so he turned around and ran to threaten Dingfeng Xian...

She wanted him to come and take care of her.

"Forcing Feng Xian to descend in his true form to deal with me? This Golden Crow Eleven has certainly played a clever game."

He Li couldn't help but sneer.

He guessed that Jinwu Eleven's real intention was probably not to have Dingfeng Xian kill him, because the other party had fought with him and knew what He Li's strength was like.

That is why Golden Crow Eleven must know why Dingfeng Immortal couldn't kill him.

But Jinwu Eleven insisted on having Dingfengxian come...

The real purpose is probably to use the power of this Immortal Dingfeng's true form to weaken He Li, since this guy is an immortal and must have many powerful trump cards.

As long as he and Dingfengxian both suffer heavy losses in their battle...

It will appear again on the eleventh day of the lunar calendar...

Wouldn't that allow you to directly snag a bargain?

"How wishful thinking!" He Li curled his lips. At this moment, he understood why Dingfengxian wanted to cooperate with him, because he knew that this guy could not compete with Jinwu.

It won't work in the upper realm, and it won't work in the middle realm.

As for the reason for killing him, he was certain that even Dingfeng Xian himself probably wasn't very confident.

The reason he wanted to talk to me was...

The goal, perhaps, lies in the lower realm!

After thinking for a moment, He Li suddenly smiled and said, "You wouldn't be thinking of having me kill the Golden Crow for you, so you can escape to the mortal realm to avoid the Demon Court's pursuit, would you?"

Upon hearing this, it was visibly clear that Dingfengxian's expression froze for half a second before regaining its composure.

"The Golden Crow is the Son of Heaven..."

"How could I possibly harbor thoughts of slaughter?"

"Fellow Daoist, please don't speak carelessly!"
