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

The secrets known by the Ten Witches are incomplete.

He Li is almost certain of this.

Otherwise, given the size of the Ten Witches, how could they be so fearless of the terrifying secret that even Nuwa despaired of?

Are they simply ignorant?

Although the Ten Witches were smaller than the Heavenly Emperor of the Demon Court or other famous gods and immortals, they were still ancient beings with extensive knowledge and experience.

Therefore, it is impossible for them to be ignorant.

If they are not ignorant, then why are they not afraid of the terrifying secret that makes Nuwa despair?

It's a secret that can only be known to them...

Its content is incomplete.

They may not even know the true horror of the secret that Wa knew; they may only know that the secret is dangerous and could lead to their death.

And it's irreversible.

That's why they think about stealing some top-level power and starting over from scratch!

He Li's words forced Yu Qingge, Mu Lan, and Yu Ji to acknowledge them, but after a moment of silence, Mu Lan looked up and raised a new question that had been on her mind...

"Although I don't know what Nuwa knew."

"But if it's a secret that has driven her to despair and is beyond her control, why doesn't she reveal it?"

"How numerous are the beings in the Three Realms?"

"She's not the only top-tier expert."

"If she had revealed the secret and gathered the wisdom of all beings in the Three Realms to find a solution, there might have been a chance to resolve it, right? So why didn't she choose to do that?"

Mu Lan's face was full of confusion.

Upon hearing this, Yu Ji offered a guess: "Perhaps there are two reasons why she didn't reveal the secret?"

"First of all, this secret is perhaps too astonishing."

"She also worried that after the announcement, instead of gathering the wisdom of all beings to come up with a solution, it might cause more powerful beings to despair and go mad, leading to continuous disasters."

"At least Nuwa is revered as the ancestral goddess!"

"Perhaps this is also her kindness towards all living beings."

"She did not want people to live in fear."

"Secondly, it might be because she saw absolutely no hope and simply gave up on the idea..."

"However!" Yu Ji paused for a moment and then said, "Although Nuwa did not reveal the secrets she knew, I feel that powerful beings like the Heavenly Emperor may have already guessed them."

"After all, beings like Nuwa are dead..."

"They'll definitely care, they'll investigate, and who knows, they might even discover something in it?"

"The things those powerful beings are planning might not just be about descending to the mortal realm to escape calamity, but also about avoiding the unknown dangers hidden within."

Yu Ji's words made sense.

The dignified ancestor goddess, Goddess Nuwa, suddenly perished.

This is a momentous event for all three realms.

Let alone the Heavenly Emperor and those other beings who would care.

Even ordinary living beings at the time would likely have been extremely concerned about this matter and tried every means to inquire and investigate the details, which may have allowed them to glimpse some clues...

This is not surprising.

However, upon hearing Yu Ji's words, He Li suddenly realized that someone else might also know this secret.

"Those beings like the Heavenly Emperor may have indeed gleaned clues about that secret through the matter of Nuwa and were making preparations, but someone may know the full contents of the secret..."

He Li squinted and spoke.

"You mean... the True Lord of Sun and Moon's Myriad Laws?"

Yu Qingge subconsciously responded with a question.

He Li nodded: "Yes, there's probably no secret in this world that can be kept from him."

"If we could find Kurongzi again, or directly communicate with the true form of the Sun and Moon Myriad Laws True Lord, then perhaps... we could find out the secrets that Nuwa knows."

"Perhaps all the mysteries will remain by then..."

"The truth will come out."

Hearing this, Yu Qingge shrugged: "That's true, but where are we going to find Ku Rongzi?"

"That person's whereabouts are unpredictable."

"They've also set their sights on the powerful figures from many sects."

"We might not even find him yet, and he might already be surrounded and killed by a coalition of powerful figures from various sects for incurring public wrath. Even if he doesn't die, he might be running around killing people and causing chaos..."

"Want to find him? That's too difficult."

"Most importantly, we have our own things to do; where would we find the time to specifically look for that withered fruit?"

Yu Qingge's words do make sense.

Let alone the fact that *Kurukuroshi* seeds are hard to find.

Speaking of what's to come, He Li is planning to join forces with Dingfeng Xian and the consciousness entities of Zhuohe Valley to kill Jinwu Eleven. After killing that silly bird, he will definitely be hunted down by the Demon Court.

He had even less time to wander around the Middle Realm and search for Kurongzi like he had done before when he went to find Yu Ji.

Thinking of this, he could only shake his head.

"Forget it, let's just take it one step at a time."

"Kuruko said before that there's a possibility of meeting me again in the future, and I'll ask him when the opportunity arises. As for now... let's go back to the lower realm after we finish our business."

"The affairs of Shu and the Demon Court..."

"We must inform those people in the lower realms, and also ensure that the upper management is ready to start a war at any time."

As he spoke, he turned and walked toward the Ghost Gate.

Seeing this, the three women quickly followed him.

hum! ! !

As He Li passed through the Ghost Gate Pass, he did not return directly to the capital of Shu Kingdom but instead appeared by the sea. And here... naturally, it was the gate that he had placed in advance at the Blazing Sun Sect.

Before he went to Shu, he placed the Guimen Pass here in advance so that it would be convenient for him to escape later.

And those Qi cultivators in the capital of Shu...

They probably never dreamed that He Li, who had passed through the Ghost Gate Pass, would instantly travel thousands of miles to appear at the Blazing Sun Sect, and even set his sights on the Golden Crow, preparing to go to the Yellow Flower Temple.

However, He Li returned to the Blazing Sun Sect area...

Naturally, it also attracted the attention of the people here.

After all, he was away for quite a while.

Not to mention Yu Qi and others who originally stayed behind, people from the lower realm have also been stationed here.

And from afar, He Li could already see familiar faces rapidly approaching him...

"You are... Li Shang of Qingyang Palace?"

"I didn't expect you to be here too?"

As He Li watched the pretty young woman, dressed in a tight-fitting outfit, carrying a long sword, and with her hair tied in a ponytail, walking through the air with the air of an ancient female knight-errant, her name came to mind.

Li Shang was a member of the Qingyang Palace.

Back in Lecheng, she traveled with Wang Chao, Li Mu, and Mu Rui.

He Li still remembered her somewhat.

However, He Li did not expect her to be here.

Judging from her appearance, she should be one of the Qingyang Palace members sent to Shanghai to participate in the selection of guards for the Lie Ri Sect, or to scout out the way for Qingyang Palace and collect information about the Middle Realm.

Sure enough, upon discovering He Li, Li Shang, who had rushed over, smiled and nodded, somewhat flattered.

She seemed surprised that He Li, who had become a top expert in the lower realm, still remembered her...

After all, they had only met once.

"Greetings, Mr. He!"

She quickly clasped her hands in a polite gesture of respect and then said, "I was sent here to guard this place by order of my sect to participate in the selection process... I wonder if there's anything important that brings you back so suddenly?"

Li Shang appeared somewhat reserved.

He Li shook his head: "No, I just used the Ghost Gate Pass to travel and happened to pass by here."

"I'm going to other places later!"

As he spoke, he added, "Later, remind the other people stationed here to be on high alert and ready to evacuate at any time, because it won't be long before the Upper Realm acts out of desperation."

"It might affect you!"

He Li's "desperate measures" refers to the fact that after he killed the Golden Crow, the Demon Court launched a full-scale manhunt for him.

At that time, the people from the Blazing Sun Sect might be targeted by the Demon Court, who might send people to deal with them directly. Therefore, He Li felt it was necessary to remind them to prepare to run away.

Li Shang nodded solemnly upon hearing this.

"Understood, I'll remind them!"

"Okay, let's leave it at that then!" Seeing this, He Li didn't want to waste any more time and wanted to continue on his way.

But just as he was about to leave...

He noticed that Li Shang looked hesitant, glancing at Yu Qingge and Yu Ji from time to time as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. He Li hadn't planned to ask any more questions, but after thinking about it, he turned to look at Li Shang.

After all, what if she has something important to do?

Or did she discover something, or learn some information involving important secrets?

Asking won't waste much time.

But if you really miss it, it will be a huge loss.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Yu Qingge, who was clearly also concerned about Li Shang's reaction, and said, "Just say what's on your mind. Don't worry about the consequences!"

"This..." Li Shang hesitated for a moment.

Then he said, "There is indeed something, but I don't know if it's worth taking seriously..."

She paused for a moment before continuing, "I was one of the first people selected to be stationed here. When I first arrived through the passage, something happened..."

"I just didn't know it was a good feeling!"

"I feel like at that time it was like..."

"Time has frozen!"
