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

"Sect Leader! Sect Leader!!!"

"The great calamity of Emei! The great calamity of Emei!!!"

"The head of the Enforcement Hall is dead, the Grand Elder is dead, the Holy Water Nunnery has been completely slaughtered by villains, and he's still killing... If this continues, our Emei Sect will perish at the hands of that villain!"

"Please, Sect Leader, emerge from seclusion and slay the villains!!!"

Thump! Thump! Accompanied by shouts from outside and the continuous thumping of the door to the secret room.

Situ Ji finished meditating and frowned.

"Who's making a fuss?" he asked, somewhat annoyed.

When he opened the door to the secret room and stepped outside, he found that it was Yan Qingsong, the Third Elder of Emei Sect, who was pale and filled with panic and fear in his eyes.

Seeing the sect leader Situ Ji emerge from the secret chamber...

He hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Sect Leader..."

"Don't panic, what happened?" Situ Ji waved his hand, signaling him to calm down and explain clearly.

Seeing this, Yan Qingsong tried to calm himself down and told Situ Ji everything He Li had done, then added, "Sect Leader... that junior is not a city investigator."

"He seems to be from out of town."

"Although I don't know where he got the information, he found out that there are indeed strange creatures in my Emei Sect..."

"But no matter what, he shouldn't have started by slaughtering my Emei disciples and even the disciples of the Enforcement Hall. He completely disregards my Emei Sect!"

"Sect Leader, this scoundrel must be executed..."

"That's enough!" Yan Qingsong wanted to say more.

But Situ Ji coldly interrupted him.

Situ Ji's face was frosty, and his aura as a Void Realm martial artist suddenly erupted. Yan Qingsong trembled and almost collapsed under the pressure of this astonishing spiritual pressure.

"To offend my Emei Sect is already unforgivable."

"Committing such a heinous crime..."

"He is certain to die!"

"However..." Situ Ji stared coldly at Yan Qingsong: "What's the deal with those strange creatures?"

"This..." Yan Qingsong stammered.

"I...I don't really know either. I just heard that it has some connection with Abbess Mingxuan. We never expected that so many strange things were hidden in the sect."

"Now that Abbess Mingxuan has gone out, it seems she went to the city to meet someone..."

Then he changed the subject.

"Sect Leader, Abbess Mingxuan is one of our own."

"If she has a problem, we can investigate it ourselves."

"That junior is so arrogant and presumptuous..."

"The most important thing is to deal with him, recover the losses for Emei, and save the disciples who are being slaughtered!"

Hearing this, Situ Ji snorted coldly: "Hmph, I'll settle accounts with you later regarding Mingxuan's matter. Let's go, I want to see just who this brat is who dares to be so insolent!"

He leaped into the air on his sword, then, as if remembering something, asked, "Do you know his name?"

"This...I...don't know..."

Yan Qingsong lowered his head weakly.

When He Li stormed the Golden Summit, they were so busy showing off their power, berating him, and trying to capture him that they didn't even ask him where he came from.

Situ Ji was furious upon hearing this.

These useless fools! The enemy has almost wiped out their Emei Sect, and they don't even know their own names.

These old fogies are really senile.

It seems the Emei Sect needs a major overhaul.

Otherwise, if we let these useless people keep causing trouble...

It absolutely has to be destroyed!

Thinking of this, he shook his head again: "Let's deal with that junior first before we talk about the sect's bloodline change!"

"And that junior... dares to be so presumptuous, he must have an impressive background and elders backing him up. We should also be prepared to deal with the trouble that follows. But as long as the junior who comes isn't some kind of devil who can devour bones..."

"As long as it's not that one!"

Although Situ Ji was in seclusion, it did not mean that he was completely unaware of what was happening outside.

Even when he was in seclusion, he was still notified by messengers of certain major events happening outside. This was true not only for him, but also for other major sects such as Wudang and Huashan.

Situ Ji knew what the reason was...

He was also informed that He Li, the Bone-Chewing Yama, was now on par with national-level powerhouses like Jiang Hongxian and Lin Fan, and that he should be careful if he met him and try to build a good relationship with him.

And whatever you do, don't mess with him.

Because of this guy...

They are different from Jiang Hongxian and the others.

Other national-level geniuses, though arrogant due to the numerous interests involved, would not act recklessly.

But the reasoning is different.

That's a real brute, a killer!

He doesn't care about the background of the person he's investigating, or what specific interests are involved; all he wants to know is that you're a monster or a criminal who has harmed someone...

He'd tear you apart right there and then.

The unlucky ones might end up being eaten by him.

This kind of brute, protected by the Great Xia government...

Who the hell would dare to provoke such a bad omen?

After all, they can't fight back. If you say something wrong, they can kill you, and you'll have died for nothing. The Great Xia government can't bear to have such a punishment or such a person.

"The letter says that the Bone-Chewing Yama seems to be in Chengdu attending the Five Cities Conference to investigate some case."

"Chengdu is not far from my Emei Mountain."

"He might come over if things go wrong."

"However, if there's a chance..."

"Perhaps it would be better if I took the initiative to go see him."

"He truly is a genius of Shu Province!"

"In the future, we might have to rely on him. It will be easier to talk to him later if we build a good relationship now... Speaking of which, this junior who dared to attack my Emei Sect is quite capable."

"If he hadn't gone so far, and considering he's also a force to be reckoned with in Shu Province..."

"I will spare his life!"

Situ Ji thought to himself.

Sect leaders like them knew that wars of invasion from other dimensions were bound to break out sooner or later, so they wanted to increase the combat power of their regions as much as possible.

Unless absolutely necessary...

They wouldn't be foolish enough to weaken their own side.

"Sect Leader, look! It's that kid!!!"

At this moment, upon arriving at the Golden Summit, Yan Qingsong, who was standing next to Situ Ji, suddenly interrupted Situ Ji's thoughts and pointed at He Li with murderous intent in the direction of the Golden Summit Square.

Situ Ji initially didn't pay much attention to this.

However, as he got closer and closer to He Li...

As he gradually made out the face of the young man who was sitting arrogantly in the square, suppressing countless Emei disciples and elders around him, silencing them so much that they dared not utter a sound...

Situ Ji's expression changed drastically, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his legs suddenly felt weak...

He almost lost his footing and fell off the sword that was being controlled by his spiritual power.

Fortunately, he managed to keep his composure.

But in his heart, a raging storm was brewing.

"What nonsense!!!"

"The Bone-Chewing Yama?!?"

"Holy crap! How could it really be him?"

Staring at He Li's face with some fear, Situ Ji confirmed again and again that he was not mistaken. That face... really was the face in the photo attached to the letter.

What kind of logic is this? It's the Yama who chews bones!

Situ Ji was completely panicked.

"That doesn't make sense. Didn't the letter say he was in Chengdu attending the Five Cities Conference or something?"

"How...how did he get here so quickly?"

"They're heading straight for my Emei Mountain?"

"Wait... Could it be... could it be that the case he's investigating is related to my Mount Emei? Damn it, they all wrote to me telling me to keep an eye on him, why didn't they mention this?"

"It's over, they're all finished!!!"

Situ Ji's face went from white to green, then to red, and then gradually turned pale. It was quite a sight, but Yan Qingsong next to him did not notice the changes in the sect leader's expression.

His attention was entirely on He Li.

Especially after seeing that He Li killed so many people and knew perfectly well that he had gone to call the sect leader...

They were still sitting there swaggering around, seemingly not taking their sect leader seriously at all. Yan Qingsong became even more annoyed and couldn't help but point at He Li and speak again...

"Sect Leader, look at him, how arrogant he is!"

"He killed so many of our disciples and elders, and yet he's still acting so arrogantly here..."

"He knew I went to call you."

"But he remains the same..."

"This isn't just disrespecting Emei Sect, it's disrespecting even you, Sect Leader! This arrogant little beast deserves to die!!!"

He got more and more excited as he spoke, especially when he noticed that He Li seemed to have noticed them and was looking over...

Yan Qingsong's face was filled with a hearty smile.

He stared at He Li with a sinister look...

"Young man, I have already invited the sect leader out!"

"Your death is nigh!!!"

As he spoke, he looked at Situ Ji…

"Please, Sect Leader, take action and slay the traitors!!!"

As Yan Qingsong shouted, the Emei disciples and elders present saw Situ Ji and wept with joy, their faces beaming with relief as they echoed his cries...

"Please, Sect Leader, take action and slay the traitors!!!"

Countless Emei disciples spoke in unison, their voices resounding throughout the heavens.

Situ Jiren is numb...

These ignorant idiots!

They want him dead!!!
