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

"Stop hitting him, Lord of the Mansion, please stop! Bicheng must not have meant it, please stop hitting him! Bicheng, say something! Apologize to your father, say you were confused for a moment and will never dare to do it again, and your father will definitely forgive you!" Madam Tianfu, Yi Bicheng's birth mother, begged the two men standing in front of her, her face already wet with tears.

Blood trickled from Yi Bicheng's lips, and his face was covered in cold sweat, but his expression remained stubborn, refusing to admit any wrongdoing. He had let Ying Li's grandfather, Ying Wuyou, go, and the Heavenly Mansion Master had discovered this, currently dismissing everyone else and enforcing family discipline. A palm strike landed, and Yi Bicheng coughed up blood, yet he remained standing, refusing to budge an inch!

"Madam, get out of my way! I'm going to beat this unfilial descendant to death! You were bewitched by Ying Li's beauty, so you did this outrageous thing, didn't you?!" Yi Jiang pointed at Yi Bicheng and shouted angrily, "When you came back this time, you refused to pick up the Northern Red Plum Fan again, and you refused to get married. After learning that my Heavenly Palace had imprisoned Ying Wuyou of the Ying family, you sent people to investigate several times. I originally thought you just wanted to take a look, but I didn't expect you to actually dare to take action! That Ying Wuyou protected the demoness Ying Li, and her whole family deserves to die! A few days ago, Ying Li slaughtered the palace of Nan'an Kingdom, and the nine kings hid in the territory of Venerable Lord Mu Zhen. Now they are about to arrive at our Heavenly Palace. You let Ying Wuyou go, and our Heavenly Palace will be punished along with you, and your entire family will be executed. Are you satisfied?! Are you happy?!"

"Your Highness, Bicheng didn't mean it. He doesn't like the other woman Ying Li at all; he only loves Wei Lingyun. He's only ever loved one person all these years. We dare not associate ourselves with that vixen, Your Highness, please don't speak carelessly. I've already sent people out to find Ying Wuyou. He's seriously injured; even if he wanted to run, he couldn't go far. He might have frozen unconscious and is hiding in some ice cave. Your Highness, please don't be angry; we'll definitely find him." The Lady of Tianfu said, looking at Yi Bicheng who remained silent, her heart aching. How could she have chosen such a son!

Once Yi Bicheng has made up his mind, no one can change it. If he's going to do something, he'll see it through to the end. If he's going to love, he'll love only one person for the rest of his life!

That's incredibly outdated!

"Bicheng, say something! Say something!" Madam Tianfu pushed and shoved Yi Bicheng, her heart aching at the sight of the blood at the corner of his mouth.

"Mother, my younger brother should be waking up soon. Go and see him! Don't worry about me. If he's so capable, let him kill me!"

"What did you say, you bastard?! What do you mean I have the guts to kill you?! Do you think I wouldn't dare to kill you?! Fine, I'll kill you today!!!" Yi Jiang was furious after hearing Yi Bicheng's words. He gathered spiritual energy in his right hand, shoved his wife aside, and struck Yi Bicheng hard in the chest!

"Pfft!" Yi Bicheng frowned, staggered back several steps, and blood kept flowing from his mouth. His vision blurred, and his legs went weak; he was about to collapse.

Yi Jiang's expression changed as he looked at Yi Bicheng. Of all his sons, he favored Yi Bicheng the most. He loved the others, but he never thought of making anyone else the young master of Tianfu. If he killed Yi Bicheng, Tianfu would have no reliable person to protect it and would eventually fall to the bottom of the nine great mansions.

Seeing Yi Bicheng's mouth full of blood, Lady Tianfu's vision went black and she fainted! Yi Jiang's expression changed, and he hurriedly ordered someone to take his wife back to rest. He glared at the unrepentant Yi Bicheng, snorted coldly, and was about to leave!

"Uncle Yi, it seems I've arrived at an inopportune time." Chu Kuo's voice rang out in the hall. Yi Jiang turned to look at the newcomer, his expression changing slightly. His voice was filled with displeasure as he coldly said, "Who do we have here? It's Chu Jue's grandson, Chu Kuo. What, what does your grandfather want with you here?!"

Chu Kuo has always been arrogant, not even putting Tianfu in his eyes. The last time the Ghost Domain Thunder Technique reappeared, he asked Yi Bicheng to go to Tianfu to ask for help from experts in order to find out about the alien. Who knew that it was Chu Kuo who kept passing the buck and refused to help, causing the alien Ying Li to cause trouble in the Spirit Realm for a long time before it was known to others.

He has always looked down on Chu Kuo. Now that Chu Kuo has arrived and Ying Wuyou has been lost as a hostage, Chu Kuo will definitely cause him a lot of trouble!

Hearing the tone of Yi Jiang, the Lord of Tianfu, clearly showing respect for Chu Jue and disdain for him, Chu Kuo sneered on his gloomy face, clapped his hands, and two servants brought up a half-dead old man behind him.

Yi Jiang and Yi Bicheng's expressions changed drastically, especially Yi Bicheng, whose face turned deathly pale as he stared coldly at Chu Kuo. Chu Kuo smiled and said, "Next time, when Young Master Bicheng rescues someone, it would be best to send more people to see him through to the end, ensuring his safe departure from the far north. Look, this person was caught by me halfway through his escape. Young Master Bicheng was rather disrespectful when he visited my Chu family last time; I'll use this to apologize to Young Master Bicheng, what do you say?!"

"You..." Upon hearing Chu Kuo's provocative words, Yi Bicheng's face turned deathly pale, and a surge of anger rose within her. Yi Bicheng stared coldly at Chu Kuo and said, "Chu Kuo, don't push your luck! This is my Tianfu! We won't tolerate you showing off your power here!"

"Heh, who's swaggering around? Everyone knows perfectly well! I kindly brought the hostages back, yet you treat me with such disrespect. If the Lord comes, I will report this to him. Then, Tianfu, hmph, will be nothing but a demonic sect that betrayed the Spirit Realm! No one will respect you anymore; they'll want to devour your blood and flesh! Yi Bicheng, I not only disrespected you before, but now, on your own turf, I'll disrespect you in the same way! If you don't believe me, ask your father whether he wants me to disrespect you or fawn over you?! Hmm?!"

Chu Kuo stared defiantly at Yi Jiang's flushed face, awaiting his decision. He, Chu Kuo, had never been bullied before. To be looked down upon like this upon arriving in Tianfu was not only a slap in his face, but also a slap in Chu Jue's face!

"You unfilial son! How dare you be so rude! Since Nephew Chu Kuo has retrieved the hostage, he is an benefactor of our Tianfu. How can you treat our benefactor like this?! If you hadn't released Ying Wuyou, would our Tianfu have to bow down like this?! Quickly apologize to Chu Kuo! Guards, take that hostage Ying Wuyou away, put on his collarbone, and keep him under strict guard!!!"

"Yes!!!" The Tianfu guards led Ying Wuyou down from the hall. Yi Bicheng stared coldly at Yi Jiang, the Tianfu Lord, his own father. After a long while, he smiled, glanced at the arrogant Chu Kuo, snorted coldly, and left in a huff!

"You unfilial son! You! You come back here..." The Lord of Tianfu looked at Yi Bicheng's departing figure with a mixture of anger and disappointment, wishing he could drag him back and slap him twice. Chu Kuo smiled and continued, "Uncle Yi, the young master is stubborn and will suffer in the future. My grandfather, Chu Jue, asked me to come here to look after the hostages and learn something from you. I hope you will be kind enough to teach me."

"Of course, of course! Since it was entrusted by Chu Jue, we will not neglect it! Men, bring up the high-level cultivation techniques!!!" Yi Jiang ordered, feeling a surge of anger that he couldn't vent!

"Oh, no need. Chu Kuo has long heard that the White Tiger Shadow Technique of Tianfu is the most powerful and unparalleled in the entire Spirit Realm. If I were lucky enough to obtain the White Tiger Shadow Technique, my trip to the far north would be worthwhile!!! Hahahahahahaha..."

Yi Jiang's expression changed. Seeing Chu Kuo's smug look, his face grew increasingly grim. Chu Kuo had clearly seized upon his weakness to threaten him, hoping to find a bigger fish in his clutches!

Ultimately, it's all because his son is useless. If Yi Bicheng hadn't secretly released Ying Wuyou, would he, Yi Jiang, the dignified head of the nine great mansions, have been blackmailed by such a mere child?! Just because his grandfather is Chu Jue, does he think he can act so recklessly?! Yi Jiang's relationship with Chu Jue is much closer than Chu Kuo's. It's because of this Ying Wuyou that Yi Jiang has no choice but to… sigh!

"Go, get the White Tiger Shadow Technique for Young Master Chu, hurry up!" Yi Jiang ordered weakly. The elder beside him changed his expression suddenly. Looking at Chu Kuo's smug look and then at the Lord of the Manor's bitter face, he snorted angrily and turned to get the White Tiger Shadow Technique!

Ah, how things change so drastically, sometimes strong, sometimes weak!
