"Young man, if it's convenient, please come back to the station with me for a cup of tea."

Liu Gui walked up to Lu Li, his eyes filled with complex emotions, and cold sweat kept seeping from his forehead.

Regardless of Lu Li's cultivation level,

As a policeman, Liu Gui needed to be indomitable and unafraid of authority!

"Inviting me for tea? Interesting..."

A hint of mockery flashed in Lu Li's eyes.

This was the first time he had ever seen such a strong-willed weakling.

How dare someone so weak show hostility?

If you dare to show your face, we'll treat you like an evil spirit and beat you up!

From the moment he entered the Daoist path, the old Daoist had always taught Lu Li not to treat the weak as human beings.

The weak should be trampled underfoot by the strong!

"No need for tea, I don't have the time for that. If you do, please come elsewhere."

"Move...move a step?"

Liu Gui's expression was rather unpleasant.

He glanced in the direction Lu Li pointed, where there were dense trees that could block out the view.

Liu Gui swallowed hard and thought to himself, "Let's forget about it then. We can talk another time. I'll take you back to school first. The crime scene still needs to be investigated."

Are you kidding me?

Lu Li is a Qi Refining and Divine Transformation level expert, and Liu Gui doesn't want to get beaten up for no reason.

Liu Gui watched Lu Li and the others leave.

He only breathed a sigh of relief when the police car was completely out of sight.

Liu Gui directed several police officers to continue investigating the scene, while he secretly hid and made a phone call.

"Hey... Captain, there's been a suspected death of over twenty students here, and... there's also a cultivator at the scene!"

"Lu Li, a freshman at Dongjiang University."

"This guy's methods are bizarre. Even though I didn't have direct contact with him, I felt like my soul had been ripped out. This is definitely the work of an evil cultivator!"

"..."

The situation was reported in a few words.

Liu Gui hung up the phone with trembling fingers.

He could never forget that soul-stirring feeling he had just experienced.

On the surface, Liu Gui is a second-level police inspector in Dongjiang City.

Secretly, he was an investigator for the Special Affairs Bureau.

The Special Bureau is hidden in every corner of Great Xia, without a specific base, and is directly under the control of Great Xia.

All staff members within the Special Bureau are collectively referred to as investigators, who specialize in handling cases involving evil spirits and unorthodox practices.

Any evil cultivator, kill them on sight.

Evil spirits, on the other hand, are dealt with by a policy of imprisonment.

Liu Gui had no way of knowing the specific reason for imprisoning the evil spirits; in short, it was an order from his superiors.

If any cultivators are discovered during the incident, they should be treated with a high degree of suspicion.

If the other party shows any sign of being a heretical cultivator, they must be killed!

These are the investigator's guidelines.

Better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free!

This regulation may lead to the deaths of many kind-hearted monks who have neither background nor power.

But what can be done?

In this world, you need both ability and connections!

After leaving Jingnan Mountain, Lu Li and the others were first taken to give statements before being allowed to return to school.

After a flurry of activity, half a day had passed.

Lu Li stood in front of the school gate, looking somewhat bewildered: "Almost the entire class was wiped out, and the counselor has gone mad. Is there any point in me attending classes?"

As soon as I stepped into the school gate, I saw a middle-aged man with a big belly walking over in a hurry.

He had just walked up to Lu Li when he revealed a hint of authority and said in a condescending tone, "You are Lu Li?"

Lu Li looked the man up and down.

Snapped!

"Who the hell are you?"

The man stood frozen, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, several teeth loosened: "I'm the principal! How dare you, a student, assault the principal in public?!"

"Principal?" Lu Li didn't take it seriously. He thought he had offended some ignorant person who dared to speak to him like that.

"What's up?"

Seeing Lu Li's calm demeanor, the principal gritted his teeth in anger.

But as the principal, he couldn't possibly retaliate by hitting the student in public.

The main problem is that we still can't beat them!

The principal knew very well just how powerful Lu Li's slap had been.

The principal took a few deep breaths to calm himself down: "I'm just here to advise you, so you won't spread the news about Jingnan Mountain."

"By the way, several officers would like to know more from you."

"I already said everything I needed to say at the police station... Holy crap?"

Lu Li wanted to refuse even more.

Looking in the direction the principal pointed, a bread truck was parked on the road opposite the school gate.

Inside sat several menacing-looking men, staring intently at Lu Li.

Is this guy a police officer?

They could even send gangsters!

"Are you sure they are police officers?" Lu Li asked repeatedly.

The principal was a little guilty, but still gritted his teeth and answered, "Of course! Go quickly, or the school will have to consider expelling you."

Snapped!

"You've spoiled me rotten! I'm not going to study anymore!"

Lu Li slapped the principal across the face again.

That slap was delivered with full force.

The principal was slapped to the ground, the floor covered with bloody teeth.

Lu Li snorted coldly and stepped out of the school gate.

He was furious and didn't care who the people in the van were, so he "gifted" each of them a palm grenade for free.

Lu Li stopped in front of the car.

Everyone in the bread cart was a monk.

Not only that,

Among them were three people whose cultivation level was equal to his.

After a moment's thought, Lu Li opened the car door and got in.

Besides Lu Li, there were five other people in the car.

The man driving had a middle parting in his hair, a cigarette dangling from his lips, and drove somewhat casually.

The bread truck traveled for nearly an hour.

As darkness fell, the surrounding environment became desolate.

The car eventually stopped in front of an unfinished building in the suburbs.

Boom boom boom!

After the group got out of the car, the man with the middle parting knocked on the car window next to Lu Li a few times: "Get out of the car, we need to talk about something."

Lu Li slowly opened his eyes and indifferently glanced at everyone: "Abducting students in broad daylight, it seems the principal received quite a bit of money from you."

Lu Li got out of the car.

Just as the man with the middle parting was about to speak, a thunderbolt struck. Fortunately, he reacted quickly, or he would have been smashed in the head on the spot.

"What the hell are you doing?!"

The man with the middle parting shouted, and the other four stood there stunned, looking at each other in bewilderment.

Their eyes seemed to say: Shall we make a move?

Lu Li tilted her head, asking in surprise, "In the middle of nowhere, with no one around, aren't you going to kill me?"

"Big brother, he's too arrogant. He actually dared to attack us. We should strike first!" one of them whispered to the man with the middle parting.

The younger brother stood aside, nervously urging the man with the middle parting to join in.

All four of them could tell that Lu Li was not someone to be trifled with, but the problem was that their mission was to kill Lu Li!

"Get out! Get out! Get out!"

The man with the middle parting shoved his accomplice aside, straightened his collar, and handed over a business card: "Hehe, you've misunderstood, brother. We're from the Special Affairs Bureau, here to investigate you. We really have no intention of taking any action."

Seeing Lu Li accept the business card, the man with the middle parting gradually breathed a sigh of relief.

"Damn it! Why didn't the higher-ups tell us beforehand that this kid knows lightning magic!" the middle-parted man cursed inwardly.

Although we are all cultivators

However, there are also differences among cultivators.

Cultivation techniques, spells, and levels of cultivation.

Each of these aspects has the potential to set you apart from others.

Lightning magic is the most difficult of all spells to master, and it places great emphasis on aptitude.

At the same time, cultivators skilled in lightning magic are also the strongest in combat.

Before the power of thunder, everyone is equal.

It is even touted as a calming artifact for both cultivators and evil spirits.

"So... the Special Affairs Bureau sent you bunch of scum to kill me?"

Lightning flashed at Lu Li's fingertips.

The business card turned to ashes in the blink of an eye.

"No, no, no, we are here on behalf of the Special Affairs Bureau to invite you to join us, senior."

The man with the middle parting said respectfully from the bottom of his heart.

In the cultivation world, mortals seem to be divided into four major realms.

In reality, there are only three: senior, fellow Daoist, and ant!
