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

"Run! Run! The demoness is here! The demoness is here!" People inside the palace gates ran in a panic, seeing Ying Li as if they had seen a ghost! Hou Jingting's face grew paler and paler. If Ying Li continued searching like this, and news of his defeat spread throughout the Spirit Realm Continent, how could he possibly maintain his foothold there?!

"Oh! Isn't this our high and mighty Lord Jingting of Nan'an Kingdom?! How did you get driven to such a predicament by a little girl?! Do you need our help?!"

Hou Jingting was in a dilemma when he suddenly heard the voice of Nie Xiaotian, the ruler of Jin'an Kingdom. Shocked, he looked towards the source of the voice and saw that all eight rulers had gathered in his Nan'an Kingdom!

"If you want to monopolize the credit for eliminating the alien Ying Li, you should think twice about your own capabilities!" King Jia Wenge of Xi'an mocked, but his eyes showed no sign of disrespect when he looked at Ying Li.

"Ying Li, you stop right there! Look who this is! If you dare to take another step forward, believe me, I'll snap his neck and dispel his consciousness!" Feng Gui, the ruler of Zhong'an Kingdom, grabbed Ying Qishan by the neck, pulled him in front of him, and said coldly.

Seeing Jiang Huai standing beside Ying Li, and thinking of his own niece still waiting for favor in the desolate palace, he was filled with rage. Jiang Huai, bewitched by Ying Li, dared to rebel against the entire Spirit Realm! What a spoiled son of Lord Mu Zhen! Today, he would torment Ying Li thoroughly, letting them know his power! And more importantly, he would avenge his poor niece!

Looking at Ying Qishan's weakened face, Ying Li's expression twisted into a grimace. They were binding her with members of the Ying family one by one; how could she possibly resist in the end?!

"Hmph, so many people bullying a little girl, what kind of skill is that?! If you're so capable, come at them!!!" Fu Cheng sneered, grabbing Hou Ning and walking over!

Behind Fu Cheng, eight teenagers were bound and looked towards the city of Nan'an, their faces filled with helplessness and fear!

"This...you actually kidnapped the young lords of the Nine Kingdoms?! Just who are you?!" Feng Qing'an, the ruler of Feng'an Kingdom, looked at the youths and his expression changed drastically. His own son was among them! The youth in front of him had even stronger spiritual power than Ying Li! Just who was he? He was so powerful that he shouldn't be unknown in the Spirit Realm Continent!

"Good heavens! Ying Li, you have openly colluded with the villains of the Ghost Realm and now you have brought them to the Spirit Realm! You have kidnapped our son. Are you trying to rebel?!" The King of Jin'an Kingdom roared in anger upon seeing his son.

Ying Li stared coldly at him, enunciating each word clearly: "Why did I rebel?! Why did I, Ying Li, rebel?! Don't you even know?! I was peacefully staying in Bixia Palace, but the Yuan clan forced me! Bixia Palace removed me from their soul register, fine, I, Ying Li, will find my own way! Because I saved someone, the Heavenly Mansion Spiritual Master Zhao Lei tried to kill me at Huaijiang Mansion, and the Lord of Huaijiang Mansion used me! I hid, hiding and hiding, but the Yuan clan killed my friends, and you killed my family! You forced me into a desperate situation! Do you expect me, Ying Li, to applaud your actions?! How laughable!"

"I'm telling you! If you don't release the Ying family today, I'll raze the entire Nan'an Kingdom to the ground! You so-called rulers, if you have the guts, come at me all at once! What kind of heroes are you, barking and snapping like dogs?! No, I, Ying Li, was wrong, you're not even as good as dogs!!!"

"One by one, I'll give you a good lesson today!!! Eight Guardian Spirit Lords! Come out here!" Ying Li gathered spiritual energy in his right hand, and the Bone Ring emitted a dazzling blue light. The Bone Ring instantly broke into eight skulls, and the eight Spirit Lord totems flew into the sky. Eight beams of spiritual light flashed between heaven and earth, standing between Ying Li and the kings!

Eight spirit lords dressed in dark blue cloaks stood menacingly in front of their master, each facing off against a king, and shot off towards that king's direction!

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom..." Countless opposing spiritual energies surged around. Jiang Huai tightly gripped Ying Li's hand, and their eyes instantly turned blood red, fixed on Feng Gui. Feng Gui felt dizzy, and the power he wanted to use to strangle Ying Qishan was bound by something terrifying. By the time he reacted, Ying Qishan had already been taken away by Ying Li and Jiang Huai!

"You! You bastards!" Feng Gui's expression changed drastically. His spiritual power was bound by Ying Li and Jiang Huai, the overwhelming force distorting his features instantly. The Guardian Spirit Lord shot towards Feng Gui and struck him in the chest with a backhand palm strike!

"Ugh!!!" Feng Gui groaned, his body flying backward! His lips were covered in blood, which he coughed up along with his shattered internal organs. The guardian spirit master pressed on relentlessly, giving Feng Gui no way to retreat.

The same was true for the others; the eight guardian spirit masters fought relentlessly, and the eight kings, except for Hou Jingting, were gradually losing ground. But after the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, a fierce wind howled in the sky, and eight divine beasts shot towards the direction of Nan'an Kingdom!

It seems those people have been driven to the brink; otherwise, they wouldn't have summoned all the divine beasts. Ying Li's lips curled into a smile! A bunch of maggots! They have absolutely no ability, yet they sit firmly on the throne, their lust for power passed down through generations, having long forgotten how powerful their ancestors who opened up the land were!

"Ying Li, you vile woman! Stop now, and you still have a sliver of hope. If you remain obstinate, once Lord Mu Zhen arrives, no matter how many Guardian Spirit Lords you have, they will all be defeated by Lord Mu Zhen!!!" Hou Ning cursed. He watched as Nan'an Kingdom was instantly engulfed in flames, his heart filled with anxiety and resentment. If it weren't for Ying Li, his beautiful Nan'an Kingdom would not have become a battleground. It was all because of Ying Li!

"Why should I stop?! Hou Ning, you're too naive!" Ying Li released Jiang Huai's hand, pointed at Ying Xue in Ying Zhe's arms, and at Ying Qishan, who was unconscious beside Fu Cheng, and said coldly, "You killed my second sister, injured my third uncle and second brother, and detained my grandfather and members of our Ying family! You keep saying you're acting on behalf of Heaven, but what kind of bullshit are you doing now?! Your lives are lives, but my second sister's life isn't?! The lives of my Ying family members aren't?! Hou Ning, when you say these words, put your hand on your heart, ask yourself, why don't you die?! Why don't your father die?!"

Hou Ning's face grew even paler, his lips trembling slightly. He couldn't let Ying Li gain the upper hand in words. After a long while, he said, "You are a villain, you are an outsider, and your clansmen are all scourges who protect outsiders! We kill them for the peace of the entire Spirit Realm! For the peace of the Spirit and Ghost Realms! You deserve to die, from beginning to end, only you deserve to die! It's not your second sister who should die, only you. They were all delayed by you, they were all harmed by you!!!"

Ying Li stared coldly at him, then gave him a wry smile. She grabbed Hou Ning by the neck and said, "A maggot is a maggot. You always think you're right, and you always treat human life like dirt. The powerful and influential always have a reason to kill, but those of us driven to the brink are all shot to death if we resist. I understand, Hou Ning. There's no one in this Spirit Realm worth saving, no one worth living. Thanks to your words, if I, Ying Li, succeed in the future, the first thing I'll destroy is the entire Spirit Realm. This is what you want, and I will definitely grant your wish!"

"Uh!" Ying Li said, her brows suddenly furrowing. She turned her head and saw that, under the protection of the divine beast, part of her spirit master had fallen into a disadvantageous position. The intense battle consumption directly affected Ying Li, who felt a headache coming on and a feeling of being completely drained.

Hou Ning gritted his teeth and said, "You reap what you sow. Ying Li, now do you know what the right path is?! Stop right now!!!"

"Ying Li, are you alright?!"

"Ying Li, are you alright?!"

Jiang Huai and Fu Cheng asked together, noticing Ying Li's strange behavior and fearing something might happen to her. Indeed, Ying Li was on the verge of collapse. If those people continued to test her, she might fall into obsession and do something irreversible.

Jiang Huai remembered Ying Li's past madness and was very worried. He grabbed Ying Li and said, "Find your grandfather first. Once we find them, we'll go back to the Ghost Realm. After we finish these things, we'll go back to the Ghost Realm. Great Sage Jue Ling and Ripple Ice Shadow are waiting for us! Ying Li, you must not do anything foolish. If you reach your physical limit, you will be in extreme pain. Ying Li, I won't allow it. I won't allow you to do that."

Ying Li looked up at Jiang Huai, her brows furrowed. She grabbed Jiang Huai's arm and pressed down hard on it. A strange smile reappeared on her lips. A crescent-shaped scar on her forehead glowed red, and purple lines kept moving across Ying Li's face.

Jiang Huai thought to himself, "Oh no!" Before he could even grab Ying Li, Ying Li shot towards the eight kings! Like a streak of blue light, Ying Li charged into the battle. The Spirit-Devouring Stone in his right hand gleamed. Standing amidst a cloud of yellow dust, Ying Li silently chanted, his hands constantly gathering spiritual energy. The eight guardian spirits returned to their positions one by one, and the withered bone ring spun rapidly in Ying Li's palms.

After a while, the eight guardian totems once again soared into the sky, swirling into a blue halo, and eight beams of spiritual light fiercely rushed towards the eight divine beasts!

"Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar..."

After being struck, the divine beast roared and howled incessantly, billowing yellow dust and sandstorms. Ice crystals drifted over unnoticed, and time seemed to stand still. Ice crystals and yellow dust danced around Ying Li, and blood trickled from the corner of her mouth. She smiled, her teeth stained pink with blood.

The eight kings' expressions changed drastically when they saw Ying Li's strange expression. They had never seen such a terrifying girl before, nor such an eerie smile. Ying Li protected her chest with her left hand and slowly walked towards the eight guardian spirit masters!

"Ying Li, come back! Ying Li!" Jiang Huai and Fu Cheng called out from behind Ying Li, but Huang Chen and Bing Jing floated behind Ying Li, their powerful spiritual energy protecting her. They couldn't catch up with Ying Li at all!

After a short while, the yellow dust settled and the ice crystals melted. Ying Li stood in the center of the decaying and dilapidated capital of Nan'an Kingdom. She smiled as she looked at the eight kings opposite her. Behind her, eight guardian beasts—a flying dragon, a firebird, a snake, a golden tiger, a wolf, a red eagle, a spirit leopard, and a red spirit—intertwined with each other. Ying Li turned around and looked at the eight beasts, then chuckled softly.

"Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar..." At the same time, the eight guardian beasts shot out and tore at the eight kings, their former masters!
