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

Ying Li clenched her fists tightly. In this cannibalistic world, the things she had worked so hard to obtain had become objects of contention among others. Moreover, those bandits kept telling her, "Girl, let go and kneel down to present them to us, or we'll wipe out your entire family!"

In this world, we should say no to it!

She coldly shook off Lin Xiangxiang, but it was too late. Yuan Zhongyue had already noticed her, or perhaps he had noticed her long ago. From the day Ying Li entered Bixia Palace, he knew of her existence, but he never expected to meet her under these circumstances. He had thought it would be a good start, after all, he didn't care about the Deep Eyes; all he wanted was submission. As long as Ying Li chose to follow him like Meng Mei, then within the sphere of lower-ranking disciples, absolutely no one would dare to bully Ying Li.

The middle and upper-level disciples are isolated from the lower-level disciples and have their own dedicated training grounds. They come and go mysteriously, so Bixia Palace is actually dominated by the lower-level disciples. As long as they don't offend the big shots above, who cares about the lives of these ants?!

Even if Lin Xiangxiang hadn't pulled this stunt, Ying Li would have inevitably fought with Yuan Zhongyue. So many lives were taken by this man with ease. He even knew that those people weren't the murderers at all, but he still killed them with relish, without batting an eye!

"That's Ying Li! Once targeted by Boss Yuan, she'll either die or be crippled. I heard her family has a Spirit Master. Even if they can't wipe out the entire family, this girl's life will be over here."

"Who knows how their family came to have a Spirit Master? If their family really has a Spirit Master, why have we never heard of such a person before?! Could they be lying and deceiving us?!"

"Maybe it really is. Surely Boss Yuan wouldn't kill this girl?!"

"What do you know? Didn't you hear what Lin Xiangxiang said? Boss Yuan has to gouge out her eyes. Once he gets the Deep Pupil Eye, who cares whether this girl lives or dies!"

"That's right, that's right! This deep pupil eye has become this girl's eye. It's strange, really. A little human girl has actually learned it. No wonder people are envious!"

"..."

Yuan Zhongyue and Ying Li stared at each other for a long time. Suddenly, Yuan Zhongyue smiled, walked up to Ying Li, and stroked Lin Xiangxiang's beautiful face with his right hand. With a "crack!" sound, Lin Xiangxiang's neck tilted to the side and she collapsed. Yuan Zhongyue's smile didn't even change.

“Girl, this person is too annoying. Now she can’t say anything anymore, so you don’t need to be afraid of her.” Yuan Zhongyue stared at Ying Li carefully and saw a slight redness at the corner of her eyes.

The eyes are of exceptional quality; it seems the rumors were true.

Ying Li pretended not to hear Yuan Zhongyue's words. She turned her head to look at the pretty girls lying in the pool of blood, her facial muscles trembling. "Why did you kill them? You knew that those people were no match for Meng Mei."

Yuan Zhongyue's expression froze. He stared blankly at the coldness on Ying Li's lips for a moment, then his lazy voice carried an even deeper killing intent, "Xiao Mei is dead, killed by the Flame Bird of Paradise technique. If we can't find the murderer, I will make everyone in Bixia Palace who has cultivated the Flame Bird of Paradise pay for Xiao Mei's death! However, those middle and upper-level disciples are rarely here, and there has been no news of them coming to Bixia Palace recently. Therefore, this gives the Zhongyue Alliance an even greater opportunity to bully each other. Even the heavens don't want you to tolerate this, so why should I, Yuan Zhongyue, tolerate it?! I am the king here, and anyone who dares to touch those around me will die! Without a burial place!"

Yuan Zhongyue smiled slightly, revealing her white teeth. Ying Li felt a chill run down his spine. Just who was this person's backer? How could he be so powerful and domineering in this Bixia Palace? Moreover, this vast Bixia Palace only had lower-level and ordinary disciples; the middle-level and upper-level disciples were nowhere to be found?! And what about Jiang Yunhe?!

"But don't be afraid, girl. I admire you. You can stay by my side. If anyone bullies you in the future, tell me, and I'll kill them all just like I crushed Lin Xiangxiang!" Yuan Zhongyue reached out his right hand and patted Ying Li's shoulder, giving her a heartfelt smile.

Ying Li abruptly took a step back, coldly saying, "I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you! I killed Meng Mei, and I also cultivated the Flame Paradise Bird. You want revenge, don't you? Perfect! I'll also seek revenge for those innocent people!" She didn't care what backing he had in the Bixia Palace; Ying Li would fight him even if it meant death. Besides, the alluring man within the Bone Ring would never let her die. If she could resist, she would never endure it. For the sake of those innocent deaths, for the sake of those baseless killings, she now had only one goal—to kill Yuan Zhongyue!

"Impossible!" Yuan Zhongyue suddenly lost control of his emotions. Upon hearing Ying Li's words, the smile on his face quickly shattered. He had finally taken a liking to a girl, but he never expected that this girl was the murderer who killed Meng Mei. How could this be?!

"Then I'll show you whether it's possible or not!" Ying Li's spiritual power surged, and cracks appeared on the floor beneath his feet from the impact of the spiritual power. A woman dressed in purple stood in the center of the bloody slaughter field, with countless flames rising behind her. Accompanied by hissing cries, countless red birds of paradise took flight, filling the entire sky.

Between heaven and earth, only one color remained: a deep, bone-black red!

"You've disappointed me greatly!" Yuan Zhongyue's eyes were filled with murderous intent. At this moment, seeing the sky full of fiery birds of paradise, he felt an indescribable ferocity! He really wanted to gouge out Ying Li's eyes and then torture him to death to avenge Xiao Mei!

"I'm going to kill you!" Yuan Zhongyue's eyes were deep and cold, and he used his palm to shake away the onlookers. Only he and Ying Li remained in the core area.

"Little sister, go back..." Ying Xue called out softly. Yuan Zhongyue was the number one local tyrant here, able to kill so many people with ease. How could little Ying Li possibly be his match?!

Ying Zhe tightly covered Ying Xue's mouth, preventing her from uttering another word. Fortunately, there were many people around, and no one heard her soft cry. He knew Ying Li's temper well; she would never have taken the lead without being confident. Those people were jealous and envious of Ying Li's Deep Eyes, constantly causing trouble. Now, with the arrival of the leader of the Zhongyue Alliance, they absolutely could not hold Ying Li back. Moreover, under these circumstances, it was best for the Ying family not to show their faces, otherwise they might be quietly silenced by someone from the Zhongyue Alliance.

Ying Zhe had just asked Yue Wei and An Yao to invite the elders. Jiang Yunhe had always praised Ying Li highly, and since the other party was an elder with a mid-level disciple, he would definitely be able to suppress Yuan Zhongyue.

Yuan Zhongyue's spiritual power surged, and the pressure of his spiritual power could be felt within a radius of several hundred meters. Ying Li stood in front of him, watching the corpse on the ground being continuously drawn into the vortex of spiritual power. He also released all the spiritual power of his second stage of spiritual cultivation, and his right hand transformed into a whip. "Thump thump thump!" He shot towards Yuan Zhongyue!

Yuan Zhongyue, as expected of a seventh-level spiritual cultivator, exerted immense pressure on Ying Li even without using his full strength. Yuan Zhongyue naturally underestimated Ying Li; how could someone five levels lower in spiritual cultivation possibly be his match?! He didn't even need to use martial arts techniques; Ying Li would still fall to him!

Ying Li brandished her spirit whip, striking left and blocking right, while Yuan Zhongyue maintained a wicked smile throughout. He continuously attacked with palm strikes, each move aimed at Ying Li's eyes! Ying Li stomped her right foot on the ground, her body shooting backward. Yuan Zhongyue reached out and touched Ying Li's face, his hand no more than half an inch away from her eyes!

"He really doesn't know what's good for him, daring to challenge Yuan Zhongyue. I think Ying Lili is not far from death!"

"However, since Ying Li was able to kill Senior Sister Meng Mei, her strength should not be underestimated. She's just a little girl, yet she's already at the second level of spiritual cultivation. She's truly gifted!"

"So what? Bixia Palace has never lacked people with extraordinary talents!"

"..."

"Hmph, girl, I advise you not to waste your energy. If you admit defeat now, I, Yuan Zhongyue, can still give you a whole corpse!" Yuan Zhongyue's moves were all deadly, with a cold smile on his face.

Ying Li pursed her lips tightly. Seeing Yuan Zhongyue's arrogant appearance, her expression changed. Since you don't need to use your full strength, then I will force you to make a move!

The spirit whip lashed out at Yuan Zhongyue, carrying Lin Xiangxiang's corpse! Yuan Zhongyue's expression changed, and with a swift movement of his palm, blood and flesh splattered everywhere from Lin Xiangxiang's body, filling the air with crimson snow! Blood stained Yuan Zhongyue's purple robes, and his face finally contorted into a hideous grimace!

He loathed this filth the most, yet Ying Li was forcing him like this! Then he would make her die a quick and painless death!

"Drink!" Yuan Zhongyue retreated several meters, as if lightning flashed between his eyes. He gathered spiritual energy in his hands, and thunder suddenly appeared in the sky. The weather, which had been clear just moments before, suddenly turned gloomy. Countless bolts of lightning gathered in the air, waiting for the best opportunity to kill the girl in front of him in one fell swoop.

"It's Thunderclap Technique! The second-stage Thunderclap Technique! No wonder Yuan Zhongyue is so powerful; he actually cultivated a second-stage martial art!"

"Ying Li is doomed this time! Let's get out of here quickly! The Thunder Strike is extremely powerful; it might harm innocent people in a moment!"

"...Run!"

Chaos erupted in the crowd, and people scattered in all directions! The scene was chaotic!

"Little sister, get out of the way quickly, little sister!" Ying Zhe could no longer bear it and shouted, but his voice was immediately drowned out by the noise of the crowd and could not reach Ying Li's ears at all.

Ying Li watched from the crowd as Ying Zhe and Ying Xue were swept further and further away from the core area before she felt relieved. "Hmph, since they dare to call themselves local bullies, is this all they've got?!" The woman's right hand suddenly lost its spiritual whip, replaced by seven blue stars wrapped around it. The stronger the spiritual power, the more intense the lightning!

People suddenly stopped fleeing and turned to look at the girl standing in the center of the lightning. She was dressed in purple, holding lightning in her hand, with a thunderous roar above her head. With a sharp crack, the girl suddenly tightened her right hand! In an instant, two bolts of lightning struck each other! The earth shook, and the sky and earth changed color!
