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

Ying Li turned around and saw a woman dressed in the robes of a lower-ranking disciple standing not far behind her, accompanied by about a dozen men also dressed in the robes of lower-ranking disciples. Unlike her, these men had a crescent moon on their sleeves. It seemed to be the symbol of some special alliance, but Ying Li, being new to the area, couldn't recognize which alliance they belonged to.

The girl who had spoken raised her eyebrows, looking at Ying Li with an inexplicable arrogance. She had just learned that the spirit crocodiles were laying eggs here and had originally intended to destroy the eggs and absorb their spiritual energy, but she hadn't expected that Ying Li and the others had been waiting here all along. While the spirit crocodiles were still here, she dared not make any rash moves, but now that they were gone, she naturally wouldn't let these monster eggs slip through her fingers.

"Who are you?!" Ying Li's eyes were full of vigilance. Once you enter Bixia Palace, you can't expect to stay out of trouble. Everyone wants to bully the weak. The other party, a dozen or so people, are all lower-level disciples. Judging from their spiritual energy, they are all at the first or second level of spiritual cultivation. If a fight really breaks out, they will probably suffer.

"Hmph, you don't even know our Miss Meng? What a country bumpkin! I see you're new here, so I'll kindly tell you. This is our Miss Meng Mei. She's already at the second level of spiritual cultivation at sixteen. How about that? Scared? Get lost and don't interfere with our young lady's business!" A young man behind Meng Mei, seeing that Ying Li was quite handsome, couldn't help but feel a little aroused and replied.

"Meng Mei!" Yue Wei and An Yao's faces fell upon hearing these two words. She was a lower-level disciple of Bixia Palace and the beloved of the leader of Zhongyue Alliance. It was said that someone had offended Meng Mei recently, and her entire clan had been wiped out by Zhongyue Alliance, leaving no corpses behind. It had become an unsolved case, but everyone with eyes could see that it was Zhongyue Alliance that had done it. However, because they couldn't afford to offend them, the elders here could only turn a blind eye.

Speaking of the Zhongyue Alliance, it's a force to be reckoned with among the lower-level disciples. Its founder, Yuan Zhongyue, is only twenty years old, yet he has already reached the peak of the seventh level of spiritual cultivation. It's important to know that cultivation becomes increasingly difficult after reaching the spiritual cultivation stage, and many people stop there, unable to break through. To reach the seventh level at such a young age is something to be feared. It's rumored that Yuan Zhongyue will become a middle-level disciple this year, and at that time, the Zhongyue Alliance will be even more domineering among the lower-level disciples, and no one will dare to provoke them!

"Hey, Meng Liang, I've never seen you so eager before. Have you taken a fancy to this girl?! No problem, after we absorb the spiritual energy from the crocodile eggs, this girl will be yours to play with!" Meng Mei looked at Meng Liang, who had just spoken up for her, with a wicked smile. Meng Liang didn't have any particular fetishes, but he was extremely addicted to lust. He had absolutely no resistance to beautiful women. In the past two years, countless young girls had submitted to him and been abused by him.

Upon hearing this, Meng Liang's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and with a smile on his face, he took the lead and walked forward. He had been feeling quite stifled these past few days. He had been caught up in the chaos of recruiting new disciples for Bixia Palace, and then he had to help with the assessments, leaving him no time to even seek out women. Now that he had encountered such a sweet-looking girl, he was naturally going to give her a good taste.

"Miss Meng, the three of us are just passing through and have no intention of ruining your plans. If you want the spirit crocodile eggs, we will leave without taking any. My sister is still young, so we hope you will be lenient!" Yue Wei knew she couldn't win, so she quickly pleaded. Against such a powerful opponent, a head-on confrontation was the most foolish choice.

“Miss Meng is beautiful and magnanimous. She will certainly not hold a grudge against the three of us. We will leave now. Please do us a favor, Miss Meng.” An Yao also shielded Ying Li behind him, grabbed her arm, and prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly, Meng Mei smiled charmingly, her face filled with a chilling coldness, "Who are you calling magnanimous?! I think you're tired of living! Come on, tie up these two troublesome men! Meng Liang, it's up to you now, you know I love watching you take action."

Meng Liang is Meng Mei's cousin. Because of Meng Mei's relationship with the Zhongyue Alliance, he has long been fearless. Now that he heard Meng Mei speak, he could no longer suppress the lust in his heart.

"Little beauty, don't be afraid, I'll be gentle, I promise you'll feel good!" Meng Liang leered as he reached out towards Ying Li.

"If you want to bully Sister Li, you'll have to get past us first!" Yue Wei and An Yao looked extremely anxious. They couldn't care less about anything else at the moment. They quickly gathered their spiritual energy and each unleashed a set of basic martial arts techniques at Meng Liang!

"Ugh!"

"Ugh!"

However, Meng Liang flashed forward, defeating both of them with a single move, leaving them unable to stand. He was at the first level of Spiritual Cultivation; dealing with Yue Wei and An Yao, two ordinary disciples at the Soul Cultivation stage, was incredibly easy for him!

"Overestimating yourselves! You dare to stop me?!" Meng Liang sneered and walked straight up to Ying Li. "Little beauty, wouldn't it be better to live a life of luxury with me? These two idiots are better left alone; being around them only lowers your status!"

As Meng Liang spoke, a lewd grin spread across his face, and he gently stroked Ying Li's cheek with his right hand. "Ugh!" But before his right hand even touched Ying Li's face, Meng Liang felt a tingling sensation. He groaned softly, looking at his right hand, which was now swollen with a large bump. Could this girl have thorns on her?! Why does it hurt so much!

Ying Li took a step back, her eyes slightly red. She looked at Meng Liang and smiled coldly, "You want to play, don't you? Come here. If you can get to me, I, Ying Li, will let you have your fun!"

Meng Liang bit his lip hard. That girl had gone mad. She dared to yell at him and spout such nonsense. Once he caught Ying Li, he wouldn't hesitate to humiliate her. He was going to ravage her to vent his anger!

He channeled all his spiritual energy, gathering it in his dantian, creating a vortex that subtly exerted a sense of oppression on those around him. Yue Wei and An Yao, their mouths full of blood, were utterly unable to resist the oppressive spiritual energy unleashed by Meng Liang.

"Sister Li, be careful!" Yue Wei managed to squeeze out these words before collapsing to the ground, unconscious. An Yao wasn't much better off; his eyes were fixed on Ying Li, his face filled with helplessness and shock, unable to move or offer any help.

Ying Li watched Meng Liang take his stance and couldn't help but smirk. With this level of skill, how dare he flaunt himself among the lower-level disciples? If it weren't for the Zhongyue Alliance backing him up, Meng Liang wouldn't even be considered trash!

Her eyes were slightly red, and the power of her deep pupils was faintly revealed. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth flowed rapidly in front of Ying Li, making it impossible for Meng Liang to move an inch without her having to lift a finger.

What's going on?! This body feels like it doesn't belong to me; I can't move at all. Meng Liang was all smiles just now, but when he took his first step and was forcibly pushed back, even he couldn't help but panic. He couldn't move at all, and Ying Li was standing not far away, casually watching him with her arms crossed. Could it be that that girl is even stronger than him?

But he could clearly see that the girl had only just entered the spiritual cultivation stage. Although it was amazing for her age, she shouldn't be this much stronger than him!

"Meng Liang, what are you dawdling for? Why don't you just go for it!" Meng Mei, who was watching the show from the sidelines, was furious to see Meng Liang struggling to move. How could a little girl like her have put Meng Liang in such a state? Meng Liang was really bewitched by beauty, and his cultivation was regressing instead of increasing!

Wait! Meng Mei's expression changed. She suddenly noticed that Ying Li's eyes were slightly red, and some spiritual energy was faintly flowing towards Ying Li. This kind of martial arts technique that uses the spirit of heaven and earth to control the opponent... Could she be the girl with the deep pupils among this year's new disciples—Ying Li?!

Upon closer inspection, it really was almost identical to the portrait.

"You brat, I never expected to run into you here. What a lucky day! I got the Spirit Crocodile Egg, and now I've encountered the Deep Eye. Now, Meng Mei needs to really plan this carefully!"

"This girl has deep pupils. Everyone, attack together! Whoever can gouge out her eyes and give them to me, I will definitely put in a good word for everyone in front of Yuan Zhongyue! Then, joining the Zhongyue Alliance and becoming a leader among men will be just around the corner!" Meng Mei's voice suddenly rang out in the crowd.

Although the Deep Eyes are terrifying and difficult to cultivate, Ying Li has already made them his own. If she could take over Ying Li's eyes, she would become a powerful figure with terrifying Deep Eyes power, and Yuan Zhongyue would be nothing. She would definitely find a stronger tree to cling to! Or rather, she wouldn't need to seek anyone else's protection anymore! But for now, she still has to rely on Yuan Zhongyue's attraction to the crowd to get things done for her!

After hearing Meng Mei's words, the Meng family members were stunned. They never expected that Ying Li was the woman with the deep pupils. Envy, shock, jealousy, and frustration filled everyone's minds. Especially when they heard Meng Mei say that she would put in a good word for them in front of Yuan Zhongyue, their emotions were pushed to the highest point. They would not allow anyone to be stronger than them, and no one could resist the allure of the Zhongyue Alliance. Therefore, they had to kill Ying Li!

Streams of spiritual energy shot up from the ground, rushing towards Ying Li from all directions! Ying Li's expression changed, and she suddenly turned her head to see Meng Mei's cold and eerie face. She had no grudge against these people, so why should she be allowed to be slaughtered?!

"Drink!" Ying Li suddenly withdrew the power of his deep pupils, his spiritual power surged, and he stretched out his right hand towards the crowd, a powerful spiritual power bursting out with the force of his right palm! The fiery birds of paradise flying all over the sky roared incessantly, attacking every man of the Meng family.

"Ugh!" The miserable screams were endless. Ying Li's figure flashed and he moved among the Meng family members. He gathered spiritual energy into a sword in his hand. The sword shadows were numerous. Under the power of the Flaming Bird of Paradise, he attacked continuously. Every time he made a move, someone would fall!

Let me see just how powerful this Flame Bird of Paradise really is! Ying Li gathered spiritual energy in his hands, closed his eyes tightly, and his spiritual power surged from the ground. The wind howled, and countless Flame Birds suddenly appeared behind Ying Li, swooping down fiercely towards Meng Mei!
