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

Mu Lan was not optimistic about the idea of ​​the higher-ups in the Special Bureau wanting to use Jiang Hongxian to deal with He Li. She didn't even think that Jiang Hongxian would be of any help to the Special Bureau.

After all, Jiang Hongxian is about to become the Heavenly Emperor!

Similar to He Li, Jiang Hongxian is also an existence that coexists with the Heavenly Dao and lives as long as Heaven and Earth.

Why should Jiang Hongxian deal with He Li?

That is to let Jiang Hongxian deal with the Heavenly Dao.

But Jiang Hongxian coexists with the Heavenly Dao. Asking Jiang Hongxian to deal with the Heavenly Dao is simply making her harm herself. Jiang Hongxian wouldn't help her for that reason alone.

Aside from that, Mu Lan didn't think Jiang Hongxian could really deal with He Li if he took action.

He Li has two identities.

Lord of the Dead Realm, Fang Xiangshi.

Theoretically, relying solely on the power of the Lord of the Dead, He Li should be able to hold his own against Jiang Hongxian in a head-on confrontation, not to mention He Li's supreme concept of divine power...

Jiang Hongxian has no chance of winning.

In Mu Lan's view, Jiang Hongxian would not help the higher-ups of the Special Bureau for whatever reason.

On the contrary, if the higher-ups of the Special Bureau really bring in Jiang Hongxian, she might even help He Li to accelerate the completion and stabilization of the "new order" for the future new era.

So, you're looking for Jiang Hongxian?

This is ridiculous, but unfortunately the higher-ups in the Special Affairs Bureau are unaware of these matters.

Mu Lan didn't tell anyone.

Mu Lan is not interested in the future conflict between He Li and the others and all living beings to establish a new order, nor does she intend to get involved in it.

She is now going to the void, to the borders of the world, to fulfill her duty as a boundary guardian.

After all, the world had lost its spiritual energy in the past.

Void beings have no interest in this world.

Therefore, for countless years, the creatures of this world have not needed to worry about the visits of void beings.

But the situation is different now.

As the three realms come into contact and spiritual energy revives, if there are still no powerful beings to protect the edge of the world, then those mysterious and strange void beings may descend.

What problems will this cause...?

Mu Lan didn't know, nor did she want to know; all she knew was that she had to prevent such a thing from happening.

However, even above that dome...

Mu Lan also watches over the lower realm.

If any trouble occurs in the lower realm, she has the right and responsibility to intervene, but this does not include He Li and others perfecting the new order.

hum! ! !

As Mu Lan pondered these thoughts, her figure transformed into a gentle breeze and instantly drifted into the void.

Meanwhile, in the conference room of the Special Bureau, the high-ranking officials began to try to contact Jiang Hongxian, who had returned to the dilapidated Heavenly Court and was doing something unknown, through special means.

Compared to He Li, Jiang Hongxian, being a member of a prominent family in Kyoto, valued these powerful figures more.

So from beginning to end...

In the eyes of the senior executives, He Li might betray them because of his beliefs.

But Jiang Hongxian definitely wouldn't.

After all, Jiang Hongxian himself was the beneficiary.

He himself was also one of the powerful and wealthy!

In their view, Jiang Hongxian had no reason to be hostile to those powerful and influential people, which was why they trusted Jiang Hongxian and chose her to check He Li.

Now that the powerful and wealthy are in trouble, they don't believe that Jiang Hongxian, as a beneficiary of the system, will stand by and do nothing.

They even thought...

Jiang Hongxian will support them because only by supporting these high-ranking and powerful figures can they give Jiang Hongxian more benefits, and the latter has no reason to give up.

As for He Li? They never truly believed in He Li from beginning to end.

The reason they don't trust...

The most important thing is He Li's philosophy.

He Li used to disregard "rules" and only believed in his own principles. He dared to arrest and suppress anyone, so it would be a miracle if they could completely trust such a person.

However, they didn't believe He Li, but trusted Jiang Hongxian and believed the latter would not betray them...

But actually?

Jiang Hongxian also has his own ideas.

But they overlooked this point.

The idea that Jiang Hongxian is trustworthy and will help them is just wishful thinking on their part.

For example, at this moment, they had been trying to contact Jiang Hongxian for a long time without receiving a response, which caused the joy on the faces of many high-level executives who had been hoping for a response to vanish.

"What's going on? We can't get in touch with them?"

"No, that's not quite right. It's not that we can't get in touch with them, but that Jiang Hongxian is unwilling to respond to us."

"What exactly is going on?"

Inside the conference room, the senior executive in charge of trying to communicate with Jiang Hongxian using supernatural powers frowned, his face full of doubt and annoyance, as the current situation was very unfavorable to them.

They hoped to contact Jiang Hongxian as soon as possible so they could come up with a way to deal with He Li.

After all, this matter has been discussed...

We also have to deal with invasions from both the middle and upper realms.

They didn't have the time, because contacting Jiang Hong here would take too long.

However... although they didn't want to waste time, there was nothing they could do since Jiang Hongxian wouldn't accept their communication requests. They could do nothing but complain.

And just as they were getting annoyed...

Suddenly, a message came from a lower-level manager.

Drop drop! ! !

With a rapid message notification, Zheng Guo, who was deep in thought, frowned and answered the communication request. Immediately afterward, a virtual projection appeared on the conference table in the meeting room...

Buzz! When the virtual projection appeared, what came into the view of the senior management was a panicked management team.

He appears to be the director of a local special affairs bureau.

Upon seeing the senior executives, the manager, seemingly due to the urgency and seriousness of the matter, hurriedly began to speak without even bothering to greet them...

"My lords, something terrible has happened!!!"

"In the direction of Wushan in Shuzhou, the ancient mulberry tree, which is suspected of transforming into a monster, has gone berserk!"

"No, it's not a berserk mode..."

"But something is very wrong. It is expanding or growing rapidly, and in less than two minutes, it has grown to over a thousand feet tall and is still growing..."

"And because of the growth of that tree, a large amount of spiritual energy surged in Shu Prefecture and even the surrounding areas."

"The monsters have become even more terrifying..."

At this point, he seemed to have caught his breath because he had spoken too quickly, and after catching his breath, he continued, "The great mulberry tree grew and spread out countless roots."

"Those tree roots are growing wildly underground."

"Nearby cities are going to be completely overturned..."

"In short, the situation is critical. We request that your superiors immediately dispatch a Heavenly-level investigator..."

Is the giant mulberry tree going berserk? Or is its spiritual energy surging?

While the management was still speaking, the many high-ranking officials of the Special Affairs Bureau who heard this news were both shocked and bewildered, as they were not prepared for this at all.

Furthermore, they had already sent people to investigate the thousand-year-old mulberry tree in Wushan, which was shrouded in fog.

The previous conclusion was...

That large mulberry tree is essentially the same as the Green Sheep of the Green Sheep Palace and the Iron-Eating Beast of Wolong Mountain; they are all friendly beings that absorb spiritual energy to awaken.

In the past, these entities have never encountered any accidents or provided assistance to them.

But what's going on now?

How could the big mulberry tree change so suddenly?

And it's become so terrifying?

It's over a thousand feet tall! Its size must be so large that the canopy alone is like an umbrella that covers the world. And the trunk is probably so big that it's impossible to estimate.

Such a being, regardless of whether it has special abilities, is terrifying enough just by its physical form.

I'm afraid investigators below the prefecture level...

They couldn't budge the tree at all; even a prefecture-level investigator might not be able to do anything about it.

Otherwise, the local special bureau wouldn't have been in such a hurry to seek support from their headquarters, since there are bound to be some local-level investigators.

If something really serious happens...

They will definitely provide support, and local authorities won't casually ask their headquarters for help.

Unless even prefecture-level investigators are no longer useful.

Local authorities would then seek assistance from the General Administration...

However, although they had considered how terrifying the tree was, strangely, none of the high-ranking officials present immediately responded to the person seeking help or arranged for a strong person to provide support.

The reason why this is the case...

There are two reasons. First, seeing that war with the Middle and Upper Realms is imminent, the high-ranking officials want to preserve their top combat power to prepare for future battles against the invasion of the Middle and Upper Realms.

Secondly, they also wanted to preserve enough fighting power to deal with He Li and Tian Dao later.

Both of these reasons are important...

And they all need a sufficient number and strength of combat power. That's why the high-ranking officials seemed hesitant and reluctant to arrange support when faced with requests for help from the local areas.

After all, the giant mulberry tree in Shu Prefecture seems unable to move and can only bring harm to Shu Prefecture no matter what.

But what if the upper and middle realms invade...?

That was a world-class disaster.

What reason or justice do they have? Their oppression of all humanity is a global catastrophe...

This mere Shu Prefecture...

How can it be compared to the world?
