The Emperor's Domineering Favor, the Evil Consort's Unparalleled Reign

Yi Bicheng was confronting Elder Wang of Mo Yuege. He stood beside Elder He Nan of Tianfu, protecting the Mo Yue bird behind him, his face solemn. This bird was extremely important to him. Under normal circumstances, he could buy as many as he wanted, but Zhao Lei, the yellow-robed spirit sorcerer they worshipped, had a grudge against Mo Yuege. Deceived by Zhao Lei, Tianfu naturally protected him fiercely, and so on, thus incurring Mo Yuege's enmity. If Yi Bicheng revealed his name, he probably wouldn't even be able to borrow the Mo Yue bird, let alone leave this place.

Unfortunately, he has a very important matter to attend to at Zizhu Gorge in Nan'an Kingdom, and he really can't do without Mo Yue Niao!

During the standoff, Yi Bicheng suddenly heard Ying Li's voice and looked at Ying Li in surprise. "Ah Li, what are you doing here? Didn't you go to Bixia Palace?" However, before Ying Li could answer, Yi Bicheng's expression changed.

Xiao He, standing behind Ying Li, pointed at Yi Bicheng and exclaimed incredulously, "Guards! He is Yi Bicheng, the young master of Tianfu! Capture him and the Pavilion Master will reward you handsomely!"

Oh no, they recognized us! This is terrible!!!

"What? Yi Bicheng! Someone come quick! Arrest the young master of Tianfu!"

"..."

Suddenly, many experts poured into Liuhuo Pavilion. Yi Bicheng's expression changed slightly. Ying Li walked towards Yi Bicheng, turned around and looked at the crowd that was packed tightly together, and whispered, "What's going on?! Did you offend Moyue Pavilion before?"

"Damn it!" Yi Bicheng tapped his head, annoyed. "It's not just that we've offended them. Back when Zhao Lei was still a retainer of the Heavenly Palace, he had a quarrel with the Pavilion Master of Mo Yuege. I was young then, and I managed to persuade my father to teach Mo Yuege a lesson. My father got angry and killed all the birds that Mo Yuege had borrowed, so now Mo Yuege doesn't dare to borrow more than fifty birds a month. It's all Zhao Lei's fault, otherwise I wouldn't be keeping a low profile now."

"You deserve it! You're so young, why did you have to learn so many things and become a target for others? It's no use saying this now. Those people outside are just small fry. Before the real troublemakers arrive, you ride the Mo Yue Bird, and I'll hold them off for you. We'll go to Nan'an Kingdom together!" Ying Li said. After speaking, he transformed his spiritual power into a sword and stepped forward. Elder He Nan, who was guarding Yi Bi City, also stepped forward to protect the young master.

"You're going to Nan'an Kingdom too?" Yi Bicheng asked. After receiving Ying Li's confirmation, he sensed the powerful spiritual energy surrounding Ying Li, his eyes lighting up. He then confidently mounted the back of the Mo Yue Bird. The Mo Yue Bird was two meters tall and over five meters long, just enough for three people to travel together. He hadn't expected Ying Li's spiritual cultivation speed to be so fast. In just half a year, he had already reached such a high level of cultivation. Perhaps he was now at the level of a Spirit Lord. As it turned out, Yi Bicheng was right! Ying Li not only became a Spirit Lord, but also subdued a powerful divine beast, a giant blue fish.

"Oh no, they're trying to escape!" someone shouted from the crowd. The others reacted immediately, and in an instant, the crowd surged forward, the sounds of swords clashing filled the air, and the panic within the Flowing Fire Pavilion intensified.

"Gentlemen, I am Ying Li from Ye Lingcheng, Jin'an Kingdom. This Mo Yue Bird was borrowed by me. Since it has been lent out, I am free to use it. Yi Bicheng is my friend, please forgive me. I will return it after I have used it!" Ying Li cleared her throat and stepped forward to speak. She increased the spiritual power in her hands, using courtesy first and force later, since these people did not have any ill intentions towards her.

"Pah! Anyone who gets involved with Tianfu is a villain! They even dare to dream of borrowing Mo Yue Niao?! Don't even dream about it! Brothers, get them! Even if we die, we won't let those two take Mo Yue Niao away!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone grabbed their weapons and surrounded Ying Li and the others even more tightly. Ying Li frowned. "Since that's how it is, let's fight first!"

In the blink of an eye, Ying Li's eyes turned bloodshot, and a powerful aura of heaven and earth exploded before everyone's eyes. After layers of dust, people saw the girl with bloodshot eyes and a murderous look on her face, and everyone was shocked.

"She is the Spirit Lord..." Xiao He retreated in fear. At this moment, the Pavilion Master was in seclusion. Although several elders were in charge, they could spare a few people to handle matters. But if Ying Li summoned the divine beast, they would probably perish before the elders could come to their rescue!

Why did the Pavilion Master have to choose this time to emerge from seclusion? It's because very few Spirit Masters have sought to borrow the Mo Yue Bird in recent years. The Pavilion Master never expected Ying Li to come here to borrow the Spirit Bird, let alone that Yi Bicheng of Tianfu would have designs on the Mo Yue Bird! Although these people are skilled, they'd be better off starving if they fought against a Spirit Master!

Ying Li had no intention of harming these people. After all, she needed their help and had no connection with Mo Yuege. The spirits of heaven and earth formed a thick barrier between her and the group of people. Unless one was a spirit lord more powerful than Ying Li, no one present could break through this barrier.

"Ying Li, come here! Let's go quickly!" Yi Bicheng said, quickly spurring the Mo Yue Bird after seeing that Ying Li had almost finished dealing with them. Ying Li didn't waste any words with those people, took two steps back, climbed onto the back of the Mo Yue Bird, pulled Elder He Nan up, and the three of them soared straight into the sky with a flap of the Mo Yue Bird's wings!

Mo Yuege grew smaller and smaller in the eyes of the three. Yi Bicheng felt a little scared and turned to look at Ying Li, saying, "It's a good thing we ran into you, otherwise these people would have ruined things."

"What are you doing in Nan'an Kingdom?" Thinking of Yao Fan, Ying Li felt a pang of sadness. She guessed Yi Bicheng was still unaware of Yao Fan's murder. She didn't know what had happened between them that separated them, and Ying Li didn't want to ask any further questions. It was better for Yi Bicheng to find out about Yao Fan later. If he knew it was Mu Huan's doing again, given their past grudges, Ying Li feared Yi Bicheng would impulsively seek revenge on Mu Huan and be injured again.

"I went to Zizhu Gorge to find a master. Villains from the Ghost Realm have infiltrated Bixia Palace. My father ordered me to handle this and find them. But I heard they're quite skilled and ordinary people can't recognize them. So I wanted to find a master in Zizhu Gorge for help, but the mountains are high and the roads are long, and the situation is urgent. I also didn't want to waste my spiritual energy using the White Tiger Shadow Technique, so I thought of coming to Moyue Pavilion to find the spirit bird. But our relationship with Moyue Pavilion is extremely bad, which led to what you just saw!" Yi Bicheng said with some complaint. If it weren't for Zhao Lei, he wouldn't be so hated by the people of Moyue Pavilion.

However, he did admit that he did a lot of bad things when he was young!

"And you? What are you doing in Nan'an Kingdom?" Yi Bicheng complained for a few moments, then turned the topic to Ying Li. Ying Li's expression changed slightly, and he said, "I also have something to do. I killed Elder Yan Jue of Bixia Palace, so I can't go back. I have to come out and learn some other skills. Besides, I met Mu Huan in Shangyuan County, which created a personal feud. I also angered Huai Jiang, the leader of the Spirit Master Guild, who destroyed the Spirit Pool. I had no choice but to flee for my life..."

Before Ying Li could finish speaking, she saw Yi Bicheng slightly open her mouth, "We've only known each other for a few days, and you've already caused such a big mess, you're truly something! That Yan Jue is probably making things difficult for your family, right? Don't be fooled by his aloof and arrogant appearance, he's actually full of bad intentions! Wait... you said you went to Shangyuan County and even destroyed the spirit pool of Huai Jiang, the leader of the Spirit Master Guild?!"

Seeing Yi Bicheng's surprised expression, Ying Li nodded and then told Yi Bicheng everything that had happened to her these past few days. Yi Bicheng was both surprised and delighted, and also worried about Ying Li. She never expected that Ying Li's small body contained such energy, and that she was already a Yellow-Clothed Spirit Master at such a young age! Elder He Nan, who had been standing guard over Yi Bicheng, was even more astonished and couldn't shut his mouth. He never expected that such a little girl would be so powerful. Not only had she become an invincible troublemaker, but she had also truly cultivated genuine skills. If she could be won over by Tianfu, it would be a great joy for Tianfu. However, before she resolved her personal issues, it might also be a bad thing for Tianfu.

"If I ever really can't afford to eat in the future, I'll come to your house," Ying Li said self-deprecatingly. She was just joking, but when she looked up and saw Yi Bicheng's serious eyes, she was a little stunned. Yi Bicheng realized that he should be more serious, so he smiled and said, "I've said it before, that when I become the head of the manor, I will definitely use all the power of the entire Heavenly Mansion to support you. I hope that Master Ying will serve my Heavenly Mansion well in the future!" After saying that, Yi Bicheng made a cupped-hands gesture. Ying Li was stunned for a few seconds, and then laughed heartily.

Yi Bicheng was always joking. However, it was only in front of her friends that Ying Li felt that her life was actually sweet and wonderful. If she didn't think about Jiang Huai now, Ying Li would feel much more at ease, but when she thought of Jiang Huai, she immediately thought of Yao Fan.

"Do you know where Yao Fan is? We separated from Tianfu. We originally planned to go to Bixia Palace to meet up with you and then make further plans, but we didn't make it to Bixia Palace and Yao Fan got lost." Yi Bicheng uncorked the water bag and handed it to Ying Li.

Ying Li paused as he took the water bag. After a long while, he took out a broken jade bracelet fragment from the cloth bag at his waist and handed it to Yi Bicheng.

Yi Bicheng's smile froze on his face. He took the fragment and examined it. "This isn't Yao Fan's..."

"She's dead." Ying Li tilted her head back and took a big gulp of water. The water was so cold it choked her. She didn't know if it was because the water was too cold or because the wind was too strong. Ying Li's eyes were red, without tears, but they burned painfully.

"After Yao Fan separated from you, he was captured by Mu Huan because of his pupil power master physique. In Shangyuan County, they used Yao Fan as a threat to humiliate me. Yao Fan fought with all his might, but was eventually killed by Hong Mei and Hong Xiu!"

"It's Mu Huan again?!" Yi Bicheng said through gritted teeth. Ying Li saw that his face had turned pale, the muscles at the corners of his mouth were twitching, and his eyes, which had been smiling just now, were now filled with murderous intent.

"Why are Ling Yun's death and Yao Fan's death both related to this demon?! I must kill him! I must kill him!"
