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

The two dragons have already fled far away.

The valley settlement has returned to peace.

He Li and the others also left the place again.

"Those two dragons came from later generations!"

In the firelight-lit night sky, several figures shrouded in spiritual energy were rapidly drifting into the distance.

The one who spoke just now was He Li.

"Later generations?" Upon hearing He Li's words, Jiang Hongxian paused for half a second before reacting and asking, "Were they the two dragons who appeared in Zhuohe Valley back then?"

"Not bad!" He Li nodded.

He was so sure because he had discovered the two dragons long ago...

From afar, he could see that the two dragons had similar characteristics to him and Jiang Hongxian, who had borrowed other people's bodies and transferred their souls and consciousness to cross time and arrive in this era.

This situation is extremely rare.

It's rare to encounter this under normal circumstances.

And now, He Li and Jiang Hongxian have only been in the world for a short time when they encountered two similar dragons...

Who would believe this is just a coincidence?

Therefore, He Li was certain that those two dragons must have been the ones that hid in the void back in Zhuohe Valley, in their final battle against the future Sun and Moon Myriad Laws True Lord...

The two powerful dragon warriors who were exposed.

However, He Li couldn't be sure whether the two dragons had directly seen through their identities and situations.

At the same time, He Li was also very concerned...

The reason why these two dragons appeared here.

After all, nighttime operations are inherently dangerous. Unless they had something extremely important to do, they certainly wouldn't dare to act as recklessly as He Li did.

Now that they've taken action, it can only mean they have something very important to do here.

In He Li's mind...

He quickly recalled what he had learned about the East Sea Dragon Clan when he was in the Middle Realm.

He clearly remembered that the message he received was...

What are the Dragon Clan of the East Sea looking for?

And it may be related to ten cents.

Despite this news, He Li eventually put it out of his mind and stopped thinking about it because he needed to save Yu Ji and hadn't encountered any members of the East Sea Dragon Clan...

However, this does not mean that He Li has forgotten about it; on the contrary, he still remembers it very clearly.

Now we've encountered those two dragons...

He Li had reason to suspect that the two dragons' appearance in this area was likely because they intended to continue searching for what they wanted or to complete some plan in this era.

Thinking about all this, he spoke again: "Those two dragons must have some purpose in appearing here."

"And look in the direction they left..."

"It seems to overlap with our own experience."

"In short, we need to be careful."

"To prevent those two dragons from doing something that would have a huge impact on future generations, threaten us, and even threaten everyone in the lower realm."

"Yes!" The others nodded in agreement.

However, as they continued their discussion about many things concerning this era and what would come after...

hum! ! !

Suddenly, a faint, unusual, dark green light flickered in the pitch-black void ahead, immediately alerting the group who were walking forward.

After all, the surrounding area is a collection of evil thoughts.

These monstrous things have existed for far too long.

God knows if there are any special and incredibly powerful individuals among the collective of evil thoughts.

Therefore, they were naturally wary.

As the speed slowed down, the vigilant He Li vaguely sensed familiar fluctuations and aura coming from ahead. The aura felt close to that of a creature from the realm of death.

What's going on? Where did this aura of the dead come from?

Could it really be a collection of special evil thoughts?

That doesn't make sense either; a collection of evil thoughts could never enter the realm of the dead.

I don't quite understand the logic behind this.

At the same time, accompanied by fluctuations, a figure gradually emerged from the darkness ahead...

Illuminated by the approaching firelight from He Li's side, they were able to clearly see the figure's appearance. Unexpectedly, the figure turned out to be a phantom wielding a scythe and chains.

He is somewhat like a soul.

But it was also different; the phantom was entirely white except for its eyes, which burned with eerie green flames…

What surprised He Li and the others even more was...

The surrounding aggregates of evil thoughts seemed to be terrified of this thing and fled in all directions. This situation made He Li and the others even more vigilant and ready to take action.

However, what no one expected was...

When they stopped, the eerie, snow-white figure did not show any hostility.

Just as He Li and the others were about to make their move, he suddenly opened his mouth and uttered a somewhat shrill voice: "By order of the Lord of the Underworld... I invite you all to cross the River of Oblivion and journey to the Abyss of the Netherworld!"

Huh? Everyone was taken aback by these words.

The Netherworld? This thing comes from the Netherworld of the Dead?

After realizing what was happening, Jiang Hongxian and the others subconsciously turned to look at He Li beside them.

After all, among the people present...

Only He Li and Youming are deeply entangled.

Jiang Hongxian and the others instinctively believed that the creatures of the Netherworld in this era had come to them because they had discovered He Li's abnormality.

Of course, they guessed it...

He Li could guess what was going on, but at this moment his mood was not as relaxed as others.

Because he was well aware that he originally possessed the identity and abilities of the Lord of the Underworld, in other words, he was also the master of the Netherworld and enjoyed corresponding power.

This is certainly not a problem in later generations.

The problem is, this is before the separation of heaven and earth.

The Netherworld here is not the dilapidated and completely abandoned place it was in later generations...

The Netherworld here is perfectly intact.

Furthermore, the ruler of the underworld in this era must be an existence comparable to Nuwa and the Heavenly Emperor, and he is still alive and well. If the other party were to discover He Li's situation...

Would the other party allow a second Lord of the Underworld to emerge in this era and seize power from him?

It's obvious that it's impossible.

Therefore, He Li has reason to suspect that the Lord of the Underworld in this era has discovered his own problems, and even sensed that he is tainted with the aura of the Lord of the Underworld's power...

That's why they arranged for a powerful figure to invite him; it might actually be a trap to kill him.

Although these ideas are somewhat extreme...

But reality doesn't allow for much thought.

In particular... there is almost no information about the lord of the underworld in later generations.

The fact that there is no information at all precisely indicates that the Lord of the Underworld in this era disappeared unexpectedly. With the matter still unclear, who knows if this has anything to do with him?

So I'm thinking about these things...

He Li didn't dare relax for a moment. He remained extremely wary of the white phantom and asked, "Lord of the Underworld? Why is the Lord of the Underworld suddenly inviting us to the Netherworld?"

"That's where the dead go."

"Besides, we are nobody, why would the Lord of the Underworld send someone to invite us?"

After he spoke, the others remained wary.

The white figure did not respond.

The atmosphere became tense.

However, no one expected that just when the atmosphere reached its most tense point, a strange voice rang out...

"I knew it!" With that voice, a black figure appeared in the void around the white figure, and the appearance of the black figure was almost identical to that of the white figure.

And after that figure appeared...

He first glanced at the white figure and shook his head, then looked at the wary He Li and the others...

"You don't need to be so nervous!"

"He's just always been like this; he doesn't like to talk much."

He has no hostility towards you.

"Of course, the Lord of the Underworld is the same!"

The figure in black spoke, but seeing that He Li showed no sign of relaxing and remained ready for battle, he could only shrug: "Don't doubt that we'll harm you."

"Although you guys are a bit strange..."

"But you are too weak. It would be a piece of cake to deal with you. It's not troublesome at all."

"Since we haven't harmed you..."

"Then there is naturally no hostility."

"The reason I invited you... according to the Lord of the Underworld, is simply because I'm a little curious about you."

He paused slightly at this point.

After thinking for a moment, he added, "It's fine if you don't want to come with us to the Netherworld immediately. Anyway, the Lord of the Underworld didn't say when he would take you down there."

"So, you can go about your business... well, finish what you're doing for now."

"We'll ask you to come down then."

"Of course, we'll be with you along the way."

"Don't get me wrong, it's not surveillance!"

"It's for protection!" The black-clad figure's voice laced with laughter. "After all, you're too weak, and there are too many powerful beings in this world. If you were to die on the way, our mission would fail..."

"You'll inevitably be punished then!"

Hearing these words, He Li was somewhat suspicious.

Although I don't know what the Lord of the Underworld is planning, I can tell from the words of these two black and white figures...

Are we to be their free bodyguards?

Is this some kind of windfall?
