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

He Li asked his question...

Upon hearing this, Yang Jian snapped out of his daze and quickly shook his head: "We don't know much about the Holy Water Temple."

"Although we did consider investigating further."

"But there were always Emei Sect martial artists who tried to stop them."

"Besides, we don't have any evidence..."

Yang Jian chuckled. He Li understood; the situation was roughly the same as when he was at the Mad Sword Sect in Ba City, where he had to consider the weight of those major sects without concrete evidence…

Ordinary investigators from the Special Bureau wouldn't dare to directly force their way into these sects to conduct investigations.

Furthermore, ancient sects like Emei...

There must be many strong individuals inside.

Even if you force your way in, without sufficient strength, you won't be able to get in or find anything.

There's nothing we can do about it.

After helplessly expressing that he didn't know...

Yang Jian couldn't help but ask...

"By the way, you...you didn't capture anyone alive to ask about Master Mingxuan's whereabouts?"

"We've caught her!" He Li shook his head. "We only asked you because we couldn't get anything out of those monsters. They only said that Master Xuan went out yesterday and hasn't returned..."

He was saying that.

But then Yu Ji suddenly walked over.

"Why did you suddenly come here?"

Yu Ji frowned and asked.

"Judging from what you were saying earlier, you didn't expect us to arrive so early or to come to the Holy Water Temple, did you? And the surviving tourists here are all ordinary people..."

"They don't even know about the Special Affairs Bureau, so obviously they couldn't have notified you to come directly!"

"The main thing is that they were all terrified."

"There wasn't even time to call the police."

"If we're talking about patrols passing by, Emei is a major sect."

"There are many powerful individuals here, so I'm afraid your city's Special Affairs Bureau wouldn't patrol here."

"The Heavenly Eye doesn't keep watch all the time."

"So... what exactly happened?"

He Li realized what was going on when he heard that.

Indeed, Yang Jian and his group rushed over, and upon closer inspection, it did seem rather unusual. After hearing this, Yang Jian and the others exchanged glances, their faces filled with surprise and uncertainty.

"No one called to inform us?"

"That's impossible! We're coming over because we just received a report of a serial killer..."

"And then the bureau sent us over?"

"Why wasn't a police report filed?"

"Could it be those nuns...? No, what if those nuns are all monsters..."

Yang Jian wasn't stupid either. Combining the information he had just received from He Li, he immediately realized what was happening and exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be... that the person who reported us was also a monster???"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

A strange creature reported the case to the Special Affairs Bureau for help?

Is this reasonable? Is this normal?

How can this be so magical?

"Possibly!" After a long silence, Yu Ji finally nodded in agreement with the guess.

"Those monsters aren't stupid either. Perhaps their goal is to get you to stop He Li from killing indiscriminately. Of course, that's not important. What's important is that there are still some monsters that managed to escape."

"Trace the number source immediately..."

As Yu Ji spoke, Yang Jian reacted quickly and immediately notified the Sky Eye Department to conduct a follow-up investigation.

However, just as they were preparing to operate...

"Who dares to act so presumptuously in my Emei Mountain?!"

A furious shout rang out.

The sound was enormous, like a thunderclap, so loud that Yang Jian and the others were dizzy and almost couldn't stand up. Fortunately, Zhou Xin activated her protective shield in time to isolate the sound waves.

They were spared from serious injury.

After they calmed down, they looked in the direction of the sound and saw dozens of martial artists rushing towards them, stepping on leaves and chasing the wind. However, before they could see who they were, they had no idea.

Then I heard He Li's fierce speech...

"Dare to attack us investigators?"

"According to the laws of the Great Xia Dynasty, this is punishable by execution!!!"

boom!!!

With his murderous voice, He Li suddenly stomped his leg on the ground, stirring up a raging storm that swept up sand and stones and even uprooted trees.

Those Emei martial artists who were caught off guard were blasted away by the wind and waves and crashed heavily onto the rocks in the mountains.

For a time, complaints poured in...

"Cough cough! What...what a vicious brat!"

"Uncle Zhang only roared, yet he... he actually used the true essence of martial arts to severely injure us?"

"That damned serial killer!"

"He...he's far too arrogant!"

"This is Emei! How dare you massacre the Holy Water Nunnery and severely injure our Law Enforcement Hall disciples! Even if you are investigators from the Special Affairs Bureau, you won't get away with this easily today!!!"

"Good. Immediately inform the other hall masters and palace masters, and do not let them leave here easily!"

"Dare to attack us?"

"You will pay a heavy price!"

Amidst these voices filled with anger and resentment, the heavily injured Emei warriors struggled to their feet, staring at He Li with sinister eyes, as if ready to retaliate at any moment.

Seeing the way they looked at me.

He Li started walking...

Whoosh! A gentle breeze blew by, and in an instant, he was in front of the nearest martial artist.

The martial artist was the leader, and also the "Uncle Zhang" the others had just addressed; he saw He Li suddenly appear before him with an unfriendly expression...

He quickly withdrew his venomous gaze.

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

He asked the question with a hint of panic.

Finally, he warned, "Don't do anything reckless. I am the junior brother of the head of the Emei Law Enforcement Hall."

"You have committed an unforgivable crime by slaughtering the Holy Water Temple. You should come with us to the Hall of Law Enforcement to confess your crimes and submit to the law. If you dare to lay a hand on me again, you will be hunted down by the Emei Sect."

"I advise you not to make a mistake..."

Crack! Before he could finish speaking, He Li, his eyes flashing with malice, stomped on his ribcage, crushing him and piercing his body. The latter's eyes bulged out, his face turned ashen, and he died on the spot.

This ruthless and brutal method...

This immediately terrified the other shouting Emei martial artists.

They stared at He Li in horror...

"Zhang... Uncle Zhang was... killed by him?"

"Has this kid gone mad?!"

"How dare he? How dare he?"

"That's the junior brother of the Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall, the junior brother of a Xuanzhi Realm expert, and his status isn't low. Doesn't he... isn't he afraid of being hunted down by the Emei Sect?"

"Over the years, who has dared to provoke the Emei Sect? Who has dared to easily offend the Emei Sect?"

Even if we killed someone...

"Even the police don't dare do anything to us!"

"But this kid... he's crazy, a madman!!!"

"First they slaughtered the Holy Water Temple, then they injured so many of us and even killed Uncle Zhang. Kid, even if... even if you're an investigator, no one can protect you!!!"

Their voices trembled as they spoke, their tone filled with deep fear and unease.

He Li paid no attention to their words.

He merely gave them a sinister look...

"Weak, yet unaware of it."

"Knowing you're no match for me, you still dare to look at me with that venomous, vengeful gaze? What? Are you afraid I'm too kind-hearted to kill you all?"

As he spoke, He Li smiled again.

His smile, however, was somewhat cold.

"You bunch of trash, even if I could have killed you on the spot for assaulting an investigator when you attacked me, you still deserve to die."

"Your Emei Sect has colluded with evil spirits; the Holy Water Nunnery alone has caused the deaths of countless people."

"Not to mention all the shady dealings you've done, both openly and secretly, relying on the power of the Emei Sect..."

"So what if I kill you all?"

"The Emei Sect dares to question me?"

"Does he even have the right to question me?"

He Li retorted, then looked up with a cold smile, his gaze fixed on the distant Golden Summit of Mount Emei...

"Don't tell me it was just about killing you."

"I also want to storm the Golden Summit and ask your current leaders how they've managed the sect, raising such parasites who collude with monsters and wreak havoc on the Great Xia!"

Upon hearing this, not only the Emei Sect martial artists, but even Yang Jian and his group felt a tremor in their hearts.

To storm the Golden Summit of Mount Emei?

Although I know He Li is very strong and arrogant...

But isn't that a bit too arrogant?

The Emei Sect has a history of thousands of years, and who knows how many ancient monsters with profound cultivation are hidden there? However... a prodigy like He Li cannot be judged by common sense.

What if he's even stronger than those old monsters?

What if he really manages to break through Emei?

Lost in thought, Yang Jian and the others looked at He Li with shining eyes, their faces filled with excitement and anticipation. However, just as He Li was about to deliver a fatal blow to the other Emei martial artists...

Then, on the way to the Golden Summit of Mount Emei...

Suddenly, someone flew in from the sky on a sword...

"Charge to the Golden Summit?"

"Young man, you're quite old, yet you speak with such arrogance!"

Hmm? Hearing this, He Li looked up at the old man in the sky who was flying towards him on a sword using his spiritual sense, and who seemed to be a master of the Emei Sect. He curled his lip and said, "Old man, you're getting on in years..."

"Still playing with swordsmanship here?"

"Aren't you afraid of slipping and falling to your death!"

"You..." The old man's eyes widened in anger upon hearing this...
