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

"Ugh!!!" Runes rose from beneath Ying Li's feet, the blood-red runes carrying a powerful tearing force. This tearing force was applied to Ying Li's body, causing him unbearable pain!

Fu Cheng tried several times to rush into the blood array to save Ying Li, but the blood array seemed to have a life of its own, completely absorbing Fu Cheng's attacks and launching a counterattack! If this continued, Ying Li would surely not be able to withstand it!

"It's no use. She has an abnormal physique, which is both a treasure and an unlucky one. I have thousands of ways to torture people in the Spirit Realm, and I can use them all on Ying Li. She won't die, but she will suffer terribly, hahahahaha..." The Winter Prince laughed wildly, his eyes filled with malice as he looked at Ying Li.

If you were truly loyal, why would I turn around and betray you?! Ying Li, there's a limit to being clever; otherwise, you'll only end up shooting yourself in the foot, suffering more losses than gains!

"Hmph, does it hurt?! Ying Li, don't worry, I won't let the person who hurt you like this get away with it. I'll avenge you now!" The Winter Prince narrowed his eyes and stretched out his right hand toward Yu Qingdai.

Yu Qingdai floated in mid-air, her neck tightly gripped by the Winter Prince, unable to move. She whimpered and pleaded for mercy, but the Winter Prince said, "I despise those who repay kindness with enmity. Do you think you're some kind of immortal, able to live forever by kicking someone when they're down?! Let's see if your life is harder, or if this mountain is harder!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Winter Prince waved his right hand, and Yu Qingdai flew down the mountain like a kite with a broken string!

"Ugh! Help...help me...ugh..." The words were carried away by the cold wind. Fu Cheng's facial muscles twitched as he looked at the Winter Prince and said, "What exactly do you want?! Emperor Xi has controlled the Ghost Realm for so many years without a single mistake. He enjoys the support of the people and is extremely capable! And you, a traitorous prince, what bargaining chips do you have to shake Emperor Xi's rule?!?"

The reason why the Winter Prince is so fixated on Ying Li is simply because he is clinging to power. But Fu Cheng can't understand why the Winter Prince, who had no prior grudge against Emperor Xi, is so obsessed with power in the Ghost Realm. You must know that the people of the Ghost Realm yearn for peace, and being an emperor is just a formality for them.

The Winter Prince's expression changed slightly, but after a long pause, he laughed. "Heh, do you need a reason to rebel?! The Emperor is two-faced. I just don't like him, that's all! He's favored by my father, but I'm no less! Why should he get all the good things?! I won't stand for it. Life is short, why should I be subservient to others? That's not my style. I either don't do it at all, or I do it thoroughly. Heaven has let me encounter an extraordinary person, why shouldn't I seize this opportunity?! This is a gift from heaven!"

"Ying Li is still young and immature, so naturally I want her to fully enjoy my affection for her! What do you think?! Ying Li?!"

As the Winter Prince spoke, his eyes narrowed slightly, his smile filled with chilling intent. Fu Cheng's expression changed drastically. He turned to look at Ying Li, only to see her pale face, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth, her beautiful face filled with pain and panic.

"Ying Li! Ying Li! Hang in there!" Fu Cheng's mental energy vortex continued to intensify, his mental energy transforming into swords that attacked Ying Li's blood sacrifice array!

"Bang Bang Bang!!!"

"Ah! Ah!" Ying Li collapsed limply into the formation, her body trembling uncontrollably. The tearing force intensified, and at the same time, the flames within the blood sacrifice formation suddenly flared up! Ying Li struggled to set up a mental barrier to protect herself, but the scorching flames relentlessly assaulted her barrier. In just an instant, cracks appeared in the mental barrier, and the raging fire rushed towards Ying Li, filling her eyes with a sea of ​​flames!

"Ah!" Her right hand kept twisting and turning, but within the blood sacrifice array, the blood of half of her spiritual realm was tearing at her with pain, making it impossible for her to exert any force and unleash any greater energy! The pain continued and would not stop!

"Ying Li, hold on! I'm coming out to save you right away! Ying Li, hold on!"

As soon as Yin Lie finished speaking, his expression changed immediately. Ying Li's severe injury had also severely injured the guardian spirit masters connected to Ying Li. At the same time, as a king of spiritual power, if he rashly left the Bone Ring, it would plunge the eight guardian spirit masters into chaos! Now, all Yin Lie could do was wait, wait for the Winter Prince to stop, wait for Ying Li to leave the Blood Sacrifice Array, before he could take any action!

"Damn it!" Yin Lie slammed his fist on the armrest of the chair, his face contorted with rage. Suddenly, as if he had just thought of something, Yin Lie gathered spiritual energy in his right hand and reached into Ying Li's Xuan Jin!

"Roar!!!" Wanwan ran out of the Xuanjin, its eyes blood red. It gathered the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in this place and continuously provided spiritual power to Ying Li, protecting him from the impact of the flames!

"Don't be afraid, Ying Li, Wanwan is here to save you. Try moving your Bone Ring now and summon your Spirit Lord to provide you with spiritual power! Only by reducing the turbulence of the Spirit Domain Blood in your body can you possibly get out of the Blood Sacrifice Array! Don't be afraid!" Yin Lie said, telling Ying Li how to get out of the Blood Sacrifice Array.

Ying Li's expression eased slightly. She looked at Wanwan, whose silver horn was now aimed at the Winter Prince. Wanwan used her deep pupils to help alleviate her pain while keeping an eye on the Winter Prince's movements. Ying Li gritted her teeth, enduring the excruciating pain, and channeled her spiritual energy. At the same time, she summoned eight guardian spirit masters, waking them up to obey Yin Lie's orders and provide her with spiritual energy!

Sure enough, after a while, Ying Li felt much better, but he still couldn't get out of the blood sacrifice array. The power of these runes was weakening, but he would need more time to get out of the blood sacrifice array!

"Wanwan, hang in there!" Ying Li said, then expedited the flow of his spiritual energy! However, the next second, Ying Li blinked, his eyes slightly red, and Wanwan suddenly roared, collapsing to the side. Wanwan's body convulsed and trembled on the ground, her eyes fixed on Ying Li's direction. The spirit of heaven and earth enveloped Ying Li, desperately trying to ensure that more spirits protected him in her last moments before death!

"Roar!"

Wanwan let out a mournful cry, her whole body trembling violently. After a long while, she finally stopped moving! The silver horn lost its luster, and her Qilin-like body dimmed. Red blood gushed from Wanwan's abdomen, forming a small river. The river flowed to Ying Li's feet and remained in the blood sacrifice array runes beneath Ying Li's feet.

"Wanwan!" Ying Li gasped for breath, collapsing in disbelief as she sat amidst Wanwan's blood. She gasped repeatedly, her eyes bloodshot. Looking at Wanwan's unseeing eyes, hatred welled up in her heart. Her vision blurred and cleared in turns. Wanwan had desperately tried to protect her, but was killed by the Winter Prince in one blow!

"Ah!!!" The spirit of heaven gradually dissipated, and the flames returned, scorching Ying Li's body! Ying Li's right hand trembled, the power of thunder lingered at his fingertips, and the Ghost Domain Thunder Technique reappeared in the Ghost Domain, with a large swath of dark clouds attacking! Gale and torrential rain rushed towards Ying Li!

Ying Li collapsed in the rain, the rain washing away the flames on his body and the blood on his clothes. Looking at Wanwan's unseeing eyes, and witnessing the demise of the last deep-eyed spirit beast in the Spirit and Ghost Realms, Ying Li felt a surge of pain mixed with boundless hatred!

However, she could not escape. The blood of the Spirit Realm was like a brand on her body, leaving her nowhere to escape in the blood sacrifice array. The remaining blood of the Ghost Realm could not help her at all!

"Ying Li!" Seeing Ying Li's pained state, Fu Cheng unleashed his powerful spiritual energy to protect her. The Winter Prince chuckled at Fu Cheng, disdainfully saying, "Your illusion magic is powerful, but your spiritual energy isn't suited for attack. You can't save her! None of you can save her; only I can! Ying Li, if you beg for mercy now, I'll let you go. If you promise to obey me from this day forward, I'll stop right now and immediately dismantle the blood sacrifice array! How about it?! Do you admit your mistake?!"

Ying Li looked up at him with red eyes. Seeing the smug look on the Prince of Dong's face, and thinking of Wanwan's death, a surge of anger burned in Ying Li's chest!

"Bah! You wanted to dominate the Ghost Realm, didn't you?! The Blood Sacrifice Array will only cause me pain, but it can't kill me! I will remember this day, I will remember the day you killed my Wanwan! I did nothing wrong, why should I admit it! Bring on whatever tricks you have! You can't kill Fu Cheng, his illusions are unbreakable! So, come at me, Ying Li! If I give in, I'm not Ying Li!!!"

Ying Li gritted her teeth and said, she refused to admit her mistake, unlike the heartless and despicable Prince Dong! He killed Wanwan, and in the future, Ying Li would make Prince Dong pay with his life!

"In that case, you'd better accept it!"

"Ugh! Ah! Ah!" Right after the raging fire, Ying Li watched helplessly as the Winter Prince gripped the mother toad tightly. The poison was controlling her heart, and the power of the blood sacrifice array was tearing at her body. She was like being torn apart by five horses, with all her limbs being ripped apart by a powerful force. She was in a state worse than death!

"Ah!" Ying Li cried out, the pain almost making her faint! The Winter Prince laughed, and Ying Li's vision grew darker and darker, the pain intensifying!

"Ying Li! Do you admit your mistake?! I'll give you one chance. Just nod your head, and I'll let you out right away!"

"Pah!" Ying Li said, her body going limp, unable to utter another word after those two words.

“Alright, since that’s the case, then I will…” The Winter Prince pulled on the blood sacrifice array with even greater force!

"Boom!" A bolt of lightning struck the heavens and earth! The sky, which was originally dark, became as bright as day! A black shadow descended from the sky!

"Whoosh!" The cold wind blew the man's clothes. Fu Cheng looked up and saw that the man had black hair like a waterfall, a long sword that looked extremely domineering, and a handsome figure with a youthful spirit and a decisiveness!

"That's..." Fu Cheng's mouth dropped open in astonishment! He had seen that person in Ying Li's illusionary realm; he was... How could he be...?

"Boom!" The young man, sword in his right hand, swung behind Ying Li, his right hand plunging into the blood sacrifice array. "Boom!" Another explosion rang out! The young man scooped up Ying Li and hurled himself backward!

The power just now was enough to shake the heavens and the earth. Amidst the vast expanse of yellow dust, the boy's features were obscured. The Winter Prince's expression changed slightly. He looked at the Blood Sacrifice Array. After the yellow dust cleared, a boy was seen holding a woman, kneeling on one knee. His aura was that of a king!

The boy smiled slightly, a smile that was pure and radiant. Although he looked like a boy, his temperament was somewhere between a boy and a man. When he smiled, it was as if the world stopped.

Fu Cheng stared blankly at him, asking uncertainly, "Are you Jiang Huai?!" Jiang Huai's eyes shone brightly in the darkness, and Fu Cheng felt his heart plummet into a deep abyss, never to rise again!

He's back, and will forever occupy all of Ying Li's attention...
