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

They're being ridiculed by everyone!!!

How dare this kid mock everyone?

How can he be so arrogant?

Where does he get his confidence from?

The martial artists from various sects were filled with shock and anger. Some of the more impulsive ones were about to retaliate or even take action, but they were all restrained by their companions.

"Wait, don't be so impulsive."

"We don't know anything about this kid yet."

"He dares to be so arrogant, either because he is incredibly powerful or because he has an extremely strong background."

"The former is unlikely."

"They're too young, but if it's the latter..."

"We probably can't afford to offend him!"

After a brief exchange, the irritable and angry martial artists gradually calmed down; after all, none of them had the confidence to offend the Special Bureau investigators with their powerful backgrounds.

This also disappointed Tang Can quite a bit.

He was originally waiting to see He Li get brutally beaten and maimed by this group of martial artists.

But... nothing happened?

"Damn it! They're all cowards!"

Tang Can couldn't help but curse inwardly.

Jiang Mingyue, standing beside him, looked at He Li with shining eyes.

Although He Li was arrogant and domineering, his imposing presence truly intimidated the group of martial artists, earning the admiration of many female martial artists, including Jiang Mingyue and Yu Ji…

This also inspired many male martial artists to admire him.

"Holy crap, that's awesome!!!"

"How did he manage to escape unscathed after being ridiculed by everyone?"

"Those people didn't dare utter a single word?"

"Although I don't particularly like his forceful entry into the sect, I have to admit he's truly a role model for us all!"

"Compared to him, Senior Brother Tang is..."

"Ahem~ I advise you to stop talking."

"Didn't you see that Senior Brother Tang's face turned dark?"

"I'm stating the truth..."

The disciples of the Mad Sword Sect whispered among themselves.

Tang Can's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. Jiang Hai, who had been worried about causing a big mess, breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, fortunately we're all adults and have some brains, so we didn't act impulsively."

"Otherwise, we'll die here."

Just as he was feeling relieved, another sound came from the doorway...

"Sect Master, the flickering in the cave has stopped!"

Hmm? Upon hearing this, everyone was delighted.

The fading of the flashing indicates that the spatial changes within the cave have stabilized and it is now safe to enter.

He Li, however, had already rushed out.

Seeing this, the others quickly followed.

After everyone arrived at the cave...

Sure enough, the flickering light at the cave entrance disappeared, and a dense spiritual energy was emanating from the cave. Just by sensing the amount of spiritual energy, one could guess that the cave had undergone significant changes.

There might be a lot of treasures, but of course, there might also be a lot of strange things.

However, just as everyone was about to go in...

Tang Can suddenly spoke up to stop them: "Wait, not everyone's here yet! My grandfather hasn't arrived!"

"Your grandfather?" The martial artists frowned.

Jiang Hai promptly offered an explanation.

"He is Tang Can, and his grandfather is Tang Hao!"

Tang Hao? Everyone was surprised, as if they had thought of something.

But He Li doesn't care.

He simply said, "I don't care who your grandfather is. If you're late, don't blame others for not waiting for you. Of course, if you want to wait, that's your prerogative, we won't keep you company!"

After saying that, he turned and left.

Others quickly stepped forward to stop and persuade him...

"Hey! Young man, why don't you wait a little longer?"

"His grandfather is Tang Hao!"

"Before he had spiritual energy, he was proficient in various martial arts and was known as the Ten Martial Elders."

"After the spiritual energy appeared, he quickly broke through and is now an incredibly powerful Xuanzhi Realm expert. With such an expert around, we will definitely be safer going in."

"If we don't wait, we might upset him..."

"Offending such a powerful person is ultimately not a good idea."

"Yes, even if you have a strong background, you'll still have trouble sleeping if you're being targeted by a Xuanzhi Realm expert."

"Young man, wait a moment."

"It won't take more than a few minutes, will it?"

"It's best not to offend Tang Hao..."

Ultimately, He Li is someone that the martial artists cannot afford to offend.

Tang Hao, the martial artists still didn't want to offend him, so they could only politely persuade He Li to wait a little longer. Tang Can, seeing that everyone knew about his grandfather's situation, immediately became smug.

He took two steps forward, getting closer to He Li, and sneered, "Your Special Bureau investigators have always been unconventional."

"If you don't want to wait, you don't have to wait."

"But what if my grandfather came..."

"It's hard to say what he'll do after he sees you sneaking away and taking those treasures from the cave."

Upon hearing this, He Li couldn't help but turn around.

"You yourself are incompetent."

"You're so comfortable using your grandfather's backing?"

He looked at Tang Can with a mocking and sarcastic expression.

Tang Can was furious and about to say something, but He Li didn't give him a chance and turned around and continued, "You good-for-nothing grandson, your grandfather is naturally no better."

"You want me to wait for him?"

"Hmph! He's not worthy!"

Upon hearing this, everyone gasped.

Good heavens, a Xuanzhi Realm expert!

He's not even worthy of making you wait for him?

This kid's arrogance knows no bounds! Does he really not know the immensity of the world?

Where did this "young master" come from?

The group looked at each other in bewilderment.

I don't know what to say anymore.

Just as everyone was hesitating whether to continue waiting for Tang Hao or bite the bullet and follow He Li to rush into the cave to search for useful treasures, loud laughter came from behind...

"Hahaha~ As expected of the Bone-Chewing Yama!"

"Even those at the Profound Knowledge Realm aren't worthy of making you wait!"

"Very good, that's arrogant enough!"

Hearing this voice, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Tang Hao had arrived right on time.

But they immediately realized something was wrong...

Chewing...chewing Yama? ??

The expressions of the martial artists from various sects changed drastically. They subconsciously looked at He Li's back as he was about to enter the cave. At this moment, they finally understood why He Li was so arrogant and conceited.

Because they truly have the means to do so.

Upon hearing this, He Li didn't even turn his head, but led the Special Bureau members into the cave.

Tang Hao, feeling slighted by being ignored, was a little embarrassed.

The other martial artists dared not utter a word.

In the end, it was Jiang Hai who stepped in to smooth things over.

"Um... shall we all go in?"

"Hmph!" Upon hearing Jiang Hai's words, Tang Hao, with his full head of white hair, snorted coldly, grabbed Tang Can, and jumped over the crowd into the cave. Afterward, the other martial artists followed suit.

Once everyone entered, they discovered that what lay before them were overlapping scenes…

We are clearly in an underground cave.

But this place is full of towering trees and flowers.

Some of the trees were even embedded in the stone wall.

Behind He Li, Su Yi looked around in shock...

"This...this change is too drastic!"

"At first, the cave didn't change much, just some more flowers and plants. But a few days ago, the cave space suddenly increased a lot."

"And then some new things came in."

"But now... this place has become an underground forest?"

As Su Yi spoke, He Li was also somewhat alarmed.

Yu Ji chimed in, "It seems this place completely overlaps with a region in another dimension, and... from the outside of the cave entrance, the cave space doesn't look much different."

In other words, the internal and external spaces are not equal...

She paused slightly at this point.

Perhaps he was afraid that He Li hadn't understood.

She explained again, "To put it simply, this place is somewhat similar to the secret realms and caves in cultivation novels."

"Or... a small world!"

"I understand!" He Li nodded.

Suddenly, someone screamed in terror...

"What...what is that?!"

Huh? Upon hearing the sound, He Li subconsciously looked around and saw a dark creature with red eyes charging fiercely from the dim underground forest not far away.

Moreover, He Li could smell the fishy odor from a great distance.

Seeing this, everyone else nervously retreated and defended themselves, fearing that it was some kind of powerful monster.

But He Li was unusually excited to see this.

"Strange?" he asked in a low voice.

And before anyone else could even respond.

He moved with lightning speed, like a fierce tiger or a sharp arrow, and swung his fist at the creature.

The others were quite surprised and suspicious upon seeing this.

"No, why is he so reckless?"

"We still don't know what that thing is..."

"At least wait until it rushes out and see what happens, right? Isn't he afraid of encountering a monster he can't defeat?"

"A brute! A complete brute!"

"This is unbelievable! Why is this guy so anxious and excited when he sees a monster, like a wolf seeing a lamb? Could it be that the rumor that the Bone-Chewing Yama likes to eat monsters is true?"

The crowd remained vigilant while discussing the matter.

At the same time, He Li had already bumped into that thing...

Bang! ! !

In an instant, a muffled sound arose.

The two-meter-tall giant black shadow was blasted dozens of meters away by He Lisheng, who strode forward, and crashed heavily into the stone wall with a deafening sound that seemed to make the earth tremble.

As the shadowy figure was blasted out by He Li.

Everyone finally saw the thing's exact appearance...
