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

"What...what's the point?!!!"

"Holy crap! It really is him?"

"Wow, that's incredible! He smashed things we couldn't break with a flick of his wrist?"

Gazing at He Li in the sky, the Le City investigators, who had long heard of He Li's name, were extremely excited, while the monks looked particularly grim.

The Buddha statue was destroyed by He Li.

The Buddha statue is gone; the symbol of Lecheng is gone.

The gimmick of them making money by selling Buddha statues has disappeared.

How could they not feel bad?

"With the destruction of the Buddha statue, the number of worshippers at many temples in our Buddhist capital will likely decrease rapidly."

"The amount of money donated by worshippers will decrease in a short time."

"How are we supposed to make offerings to those important figures now? How are we supposed to get them to do things for us? Are we really going to have to become vegetarians and chant Buddhist scriptures?"

"Quickly, inform the abbot and the others."

"Have the abbot contact those important figures above and ask them to think of a way to salvage the situation."

"Yeah, and that kid too..."

"That brat dared to damage the Buddha statue and ruin our Buddhist sect's plans! We absolutely cannot let him get away with this! The abbot and the others should contact those important figures to severely punish this scoundrel!"

Watching He Li slowly descend...

The monks made no attempt to hide the malice in their eyes.

He Li narrowed his eyes upon seeing this.

A chilling glint emanated from his narrowed eyes, but the monks failed to notice it.

He Li's cold gaze swept over the monks, then turned to the Le City investigators: "What's going on? So many of you couldn't stop that mere Buddha statue?"

"They actually let him get close to the city center?"

"If I hadn't arrived so quickly..."

"How do you plan to end this?"

Upon hearing this, the Zhonglecheng investigator came to his senses, feeling both ashamed and somewhat aggrieved. At the same time, his gaze towards the monks became even more annoyed and indignant.

"Li...Li-ge, we originally wanted to do everything we could to stop the Buddha."

The lead investigator, a Xuan-level expert, then spoke.

He pointed menacingly at the monks...

"It was them who insisted on stopping us!"

"They said that the Buddha statue is very important and symbolic for their Buddhist temples, an object of faith, and that the temples' incense money depends entirely on the Buddha statue to attract worshippers..."

"They even threatened us, saying... saying that some big shots also took a lot of their offerings."

"We'll suffer the consequences if we take action."

"In addition, the capital city has numerous Buddhist temples..."

"We...we were indeed worried that if we took action against them, too many temples would cause trouble, and the department wouldn't be able to handle it...so...so we didn't stop them..."

Towards the end, the Xuan-level investigator felt both resentful and somewhat ashamed of themselves.

Ultimately, they also fear power.

I cannot act impulsively based on passion without considering the consequences.

Upon hearing this, He Li sneered repeatedly.

"Are all Buddhist monks like this?" He turned to look at the plump and robust monks, and a few women who smelled strongly of perfume and were not proper nuns.

"Wenshu Temple, Shengshui Nunnery, Lecheng Buddhist Capital..."

"One colluded with monsters, and the other used the temple to hide and raise those monsters to harm people everywhere."

"Turning the temple into a den of demons..."

"And you, living comfortably on the offerings of ordinary people, fattening yourselves up, only to end up aiding and abetting evil, helping monsters harm people?"

As He Li spoke, he approached the monks in a sinister manner.

The monks were somewhat alarmed by what they saw.

He Li's murderous aura was simply too strong.

Furthermore, he possessed an indescribable aura that put immense psychological pressure on them.

They couldn't help but take two steps back.

But these monks were not about to admit defeat.

"You...you shouldn't talk nonsense!"

"What do you mean by aiding and abetting evil, helping monsters harm people?"

"We just...we just don't want anything to happen to the Buddha statue, which is of great significance and importance. After all, the Buddha statue is not only important to Buddhism, but also to Lecheng and even the Great Xia."

"It also has historical value..."

"Besides, it hasn't harmed anyone yet, has it?"

"That's right, don't think that just because you're an investigator... you can spout nonsense here."

"That's right, let me tell you, many temples in our Buddhist capital have powerful figures and influential people backing them, and they also have connections with many martial arts sects..."

"You're falsely accusing us like this..."

"They'll definitely be held accountable then!"

Perhaps they thought they had powerful figures backing them up.

The monks immediately straightened their backs.

They were not investigators. Although they were martial artists, their access to information was limited, so they could not understand He Li and know his personality like other investigators.

At this moment, they only felt that no matter how powerful He Li was, he should still have some reservations about them.

After all, Buddha is involved with many important figures.

No one dares to provoke them easily.

Thinking of these things, the monks couldn't help but give He Li a defiant look, as if to say, "What can you really do to us?"

Little did they know, that was exactly what they were thinking.

But then He Li's eyes shone with golden light, and he raised his hand with a murderous aura like a god...

"Nonsense? Slander?"

"Is this nonsense? Is this a frame-up...?"

"When you get down there, go ask the King of Hell!"

Seeing that He Li seemed about to kill them, the monks who had just looked at them with disdain panicked.

After all, He Li was the one who could shatter a hundred-meter-tall Buddha statue with a single punch, and his strength was unfathomable. They were not confident that they could survive He Li's attacks.

They could only stare in horror as He Li retreated...

"What...what are you going to do?"

"Don't do anything reckless!!!"

"We are monks from the Buddhist capital, and we have numerous temples and powerful figures behind us..."

"And...and murder is illegal."

"Even if you're an investigator, you... you still have to abide by the law. How can you act recklessly? If you dare to kill us, you'll definitely be arrested and even dealt with..."

They retreated while speaking in a panic.

However, they had only taken half a step back when they found themselves bound by an invisible force, unable to move. At that moment, He Li's emotionless voice, filled only with killing intent and authority, rang out...

"Law? You're talking to me about law?"

"Very well, then I will tell you now..."

"I am the law!!!"

His entire body radiated a burst of golden light.

His voice, which was gradually becoming more and more powerful, echoed in everyone's minds like a valley...

"As long as I am here, the law is here!!!"

"My word is judgment!!!"

"I want you all dead, and even Buddha can't stop me!!!"

boom!!!

As soon as he finished speaking, a deafening roar erupted. The terrified monks were crushed by the invisible spiritual force before they could even scream, and a large amount of blood and flesh scattered all over the ground.

The investigators from Lecheng were dumbfounded.

"Wow...so fierce, so wild!!!"

"Am I the law? Does my existence mean the law exists???"

"My goodness, who else but him would dare say that?"

"My God! My words are judgment... and they killed all these monks at the third level of cultivation without lifting a finger? This is far more brutal than the rumors!"

"He truly has absolutely no fear of the powerful and influential!"

"I used to think that although he was capable, he would at least hold back when facing powerful figures with connections..."

"Now it seems I was overthinking it."

"He's more than just fearless of the powerful and influential!"

"He doesn't treat the powerful and wealthy like human beings at all!"

"Of course! I think even if those big shots came in person, he'd probably slap them to death. He's not afraid of causing a huge uproar..."

"Well done, he truly lives up to his reputation. If only everyone in our Great Xia were like him..."

The investigators in Lecheng were filled with fanatical worship.

The same applies to Yu Ji and the others.

However, while admiring and adoring He Li, Yu Ji vaguely sensed that something was off about him.

The golden light emanating from He Li seemed to have brightened even more.

As someone who has always been by He Li's side...

Yu Ji had seen it many times; the golden light emanating from He Li's body seemed to be the effect of using some strange ability, so she was bound to notice the changes in the light.

In theory, abilities and supernatural powers are similar, and normally they will not be enhanced.

Therefore, He Li's golden light also has limited brightness.

But why is it getting brighter and brighter?

Could it be... that his abilities are growing?

Yu Ji was somewhat suspicious.

Meanwhile, the Sky Eye Department of the Lecheng Special Bureau had just received a communication request from the investigator and hadn't even had time to respond when He Li arrived at the scene to deal with the Buddha statue...

Even the head of the Heavenly Eye Department, who dealt with those monks, witnessed He Li's brutal methods firsthand...

I was drenched in sweat by now.

"He...how did he actually come?"

"I didn't take his instructions to heart. If he finds out, he might..."

"Why don't you attack me too?"

"No way? It shouldn't be... it shouldn't be, right?"

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead...
